I am proud to say that I have completed registration for school. On December 1, 2012. I will officially be ready to sign up for my classes.  This has been a long term goal for me that I am finally achieving. I have a few more steps and I’m taking them one moment at a time. Amen! - Pamela Robinson

I started my first job yesterday. It was fun but boring because I’m in training. - Loni Kinchen

A few of my favorite things:

1.      gotandem.com -  Daily Bible encouragement

2.      soaking.net – Beautiful worship music

3.      www.noondaycollection.com  & christian.org

4.      A prayer – “My God, grant that I may love thee, and the only reward of my love be to love thee always more and more.”  - Leo XIII March 15, 1890 – Tyra Brown

Min. Tyra did a teaching at the Assisted Living Home on Thanksgiving that really put perspective on the holiday. Although, we often think of the festivities such as time with family and the abundance of food--what about giving thanks to Jesus? Always keep him first in your heart. - Kim Harris

One of the first scriptures I learned and one of my favorites is Jeremiah 29:13. And ye shall seek me and find me, when ye search for me with all your heart. - Kendra Kay

I want to listen to the 16 minute teachings with my parents and take notes. - Hannah Haynes

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1 (NIV) What are we building? Remember our last Women’s Fellowship? Vision, Cultivate, Production. We have been the capacity by God and the tools and resources we need to build for success.  Think of all the products and services we are afforded to in our ministry to have spiritual and practical success, healthy emotions and body, and healthy relationships. We no longer have to devise our own methods; we have clear direction on how to build for healthy outcomes! – Robin Osborne

I got Honor Roll for the first time!  - Lyric Kinchen

The way we live shows others the strength of our commitment to serving God.  It’s easy to say we will follow God, but it is much more important to live like it. Remove whatever gets in the way of worshipping God. (Joshua 24:15-23) Enter into covenant with God. – Mother Ann Watson

You Fill My Heart

Like the rivers of water

Like the streams in a lake

Your love flows in my heart

I am for you and you for me

My heart is overwhelmed with the joy you bring

My life is not the same

You fill my heart

Isn't it amazing to have God's love and presence flowing in our hearts! We can commune with Him at any time because he lives in our hearts. His presence in our lives brings us so much joy and pleasure from the Kingdom. We are drawn to Him by his loving-kindness. His love is everlasting; it never ends. – Robin Osborne

"When you yell, wisdom leaves" - Kim Harris

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.  Proverbs 31:16-17 - We have our Vision, it's time to establish our steps and work! - Michelle Haynes

Just a word of encouragement to the young ladies in our ministry who have gone away to college or other institutes of learning. When it starts to look like it’s a little hard and you become faint; pull on the Words of your Savior in Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  - Mother Earlene Smith

Sisters, no matter what we deal with or go through, we are never alone.  God knows everything about us.  Our Heavenly Father is with us and we have one another! - Michelle Haynes

Humility, Honesty and Integrity: “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” Psalm 25:9 “May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.” Psalm 25:21 Step by step, honesty says, this is the Shepherd’s way and integrity says; I will walk consistently in it. – Mother Ann Watson

I can play the flute. I played Happy Birthday to my brother Nathan on Nov. 2^nd. My instrumental teacher says I have great tone. I would like to play praise and worship songs one day. I can play just about anything if you give me a music sheet for it. I’m about to get in advanced class if I keep on playing good.                 – Rachel Osborne

I am trying to be on the honor roll this year! - Hannah Haynes

I’ve heard this some time ago and it blessed me: “As Christians we don’t have to worry about losing what we can’t keep, when we’ve found what we can’t lose.” – Kendra Kay

My daughter, Trinity, has maintained all A’s for several years. She is a peaceful young lady who is mindful of her connections. I am very proud of the young woman she’s becoming.  No matter how hard things get for her, she refuses to give up.  She is an inspiration to me. – Tasha Etienne

This is one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible because it leaves me with a rewarding promise from our Heavenly Father… “Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6 – Robin Osborne

"One of my favorite scriptures in the bible which has become the mission statement for my marriage is Galatians chapter 2; verse 20!"   --Patrice Martin

I cannot see the air but I know it's there by the breeze on my face
I cannot see the soul but I know it's there because of its reason and logic
I cannot see what's underground yet many different creatures live beneath
I cannot see the planets about the sky but through scientific study I know it's there
I cannot see the Spirit of God, yet he lives within me; I cannot see His presence yet he lives in my heart
I cannot make out his image or form yet I know he exists
It's my belief and my conviction; I am persuaded He Lives!    --by Robin Osborne

This week as I was listening to Stone 4a – “Where your Personality and God’s Character Meets” one of the statements that Pastor Anthony quoted was, “your life with God is not based on a list of rules, God is actually involved…if you allow Him, He would get involved.” Hearing this statement reassured me that God not only loves me but He cares about my life.  – Michelle Warren

I’m doing well in school. I almost get honor roll every year. My best subject is Science. I get A’s and B’s in that subject. I need to do a little better in social skills (talk a little too much). My second best subject is Math. – Rachel Osborne

A fruitful life requires a faithful life.  The way we live our lives should reflect our representative, our Lord Jesus Christ.  Herein is my Father glorified that you bear much fruit, so shall you be my disciples.  John 15:8 - Mother Ann Watson
