Thank God he chose my role as a Mother...the most caring humans on the earth. Nothing like a Mommas love! Despite all the weakness we have as women God chose us to love and nurture babies. Lately reading and studying how we (as woman) inoculate and bond with babies while in our wombs just astonishes me. Anyways let me get off my soap box here... Happy Mother's Day to you all out there! I'll be posting more often soon...Hang in there!

This lady is to be honored, a great prayer warrior and a true friend in my life.  Sandy Friend a lady that I personally know walked and talked with the Lord daily, I must say she had cloud or favor with Him. I will only scratch the surface with what I am going to share with you about her. Our friendship came about when I had first started attending Faith Temple (now Valley Pentecostal Church) hardly knew anyone so she invited me to her home with her family for Thanksgiving. I accepted her invite which till this day I am so glad I did, something about her spirit attracted me to her. She shared her yearbooks from when she attended CLC Bible College in Stockton, California, and OH MY did we share a laugh with the hairdo’s and dressing from back then…I am so glad we don’t have to wear our hair like that and our skirts lengths today would be looked as Quakers back then (LOL). We had a unique friendship it was not a clingy friendship whenever we got together we just pick up fr...

Just got back from a conference and was reading an Elders book he had just published and I was inspired to write the next paragraphs... In 2007 I discovered a lump the size of a quarter that at times ached so doctors wanted to cut, aspirate and whatever else they thought was needed,  I told them NO you will not touch me. As christians when faced with hard decisions I believe we have the authority to approach God throne boldly and ask for certain things in our lifes. I was desperate so I did that I inquired of the Lord and told the Lord if you don't heal me I am leaving this world but Lord I am not ready to leave this world. I have two sons that still need to be raised and I don't want their father or my family to raise them. I am desperate Lord heal me or take me quickly. A year later I returned for my yearly test, and the technician stopped in the middle of the procedure and told me he had to go get a doctor...at that precise moment I called out to God and told Him yo...

This past week I door knocked just about everyday straight from work for our Easter drama. Wow it had been awhile since I knocked, it brought back a memory with my younger son Jacob. I am not the type of parent to just let my children just go on their own to bus outreach or other activities especially at a very young age and if it involves the world. So no matter how tired I was, how much homework I had, housework I went with them. So close to 3 1/2 years I doorknocked with my sons every Saturday in the extreme heat of Arizona or our nice winters. We were at an apartment complex when we came upon a door and I was speaking to a hispanic lady while my son was standing next to me just observing everything around the front door and what he could see into the apartment through the front door. He had a funny expression on his face so I told him, "come on Papas we have to move on." Later at home he ask Mom did you see those toys at the entrance they were filthy and inside her hous...

Recently in class we studied about our Apostolic uncut hair as we all know its a ladies glory...we have power with it. Its also signfies submission to God the head of our homes underneath that is our husbands/fathers depending on where you are in life. But I was listening to Elder Dallas Medford preaching one of our campmeetings and its also our worship...He said ladies when your hair is so long and you have to grab it in the middle to brush the bottom part of it thats WORSHIP! I had never seen it like that but it impacted me. Hair, Power, Submission, Worship! Amazing Will add scripture to this article it was just a quick thought that came to mind...

Friends, Family and All I will probably neglect my blog again for a few months...starting next week we have a drama that is much work, week after a quincenera for a very special young lady in our Spanish service will be helping with setup and decor, weekend after that a wedding in Houston, Texas for one of my many adopted sons in the church, Zach. Can't believe my son JD best friend is getting married, Jr. Youth Camp and a spanish conference in July in Tulsa, Oklahoma...among all the other things I am involved with church...I Love It I wouldn't trade it for nothing in this world. So hang in there...till then the Lord bless you all.

There is a U.S. vet man by the name Leroy that when I'm deep in prayer I envision this man walking through the doors of our sanctuary...a man that was baptized in Jesus Name and full of the Holy Ghost in Stockton, California. Our meeting was orchestrated by the Lord in a V.A. hospital in Phoenix. I was there to thank several vets on a Veterans day but I made my way to a corner while they finished their bingo game. I began to talk to this black man, asked him where he was from he answered Stockton, CA. I asked if he had ever been to CLC (everyone that lived in that town had experienced CLC somehow) and he said, Yes I was baptized there and was carried out drunk in the Holy Ghost service after service...He talked about his nites being carried out so lost in the Holy Ghost for the next hour or so I just listened. I told him that is amazing...he asked me your Pentecostal aren't you, I smiled and told him from my head to my toes...he replied I can tell. He told me how he pulled away...
