First Time Blogger....Getting to know us.




Well lets see where do I start.....

My name is Heather and I have two wonderful children, Madison who is 7 and Joshua who is 4. I work a full time job with GroupOne Health Source out of MO, but my office is out of the Medical Mall in Jackson. Its a job that I have come to like and enjoy most of the time, but it is like any job and has its ups and downs. Madison my 7 year old takes dance from Ms. Beverly's in Brandon and she loves it. At this time she takes Ballet, Tap, and Baton and we do competition's once a month which we enjoy. She took an IQ test a few weeks ago and scored 123 which is Superior. She has been invited to attend the schools Venture program which is kinda like a gifted class in a way. Madison has such a sweet spirit and loves to be a helper. Though at times she can be very dramatic which I take full credit for bc I know I can make a situation the same way at times. It's our nature I guess....the worriers. Joshua was taking karate, but at this time we felt that it was just best to keep him out until he matures a bit bc those karate moves were becoming something he did on us when he was upset. Doctors diagnosed him with ADHD, but I refuse to claim that. The doctor didn't feel we should put him on Medicine for it, but change his diet and have counciling sessions first which seems to have worked out. He is so much clamer now which I praise God for everyday. Joshua is a mama's boy and always wants to be with me every second of everyday. I worry about kindergarten in the fall and if he is going to be able to be a big boy and go like all the other children and not cause problems for the teachers. That is a daily prayer.

Im a child of God and yearn to learn and know more every single day. He has been so good to me and my family. I was brought up Methodist and when I was married in 2003 I was introduced to what some people call "Holy Rollers" or Oneness Pentecostals. There are a lot of different names you could call it, but I am simply a child of God. The veil has been lifted and like in the song Amazing Grace, I once was blind, but now I see. About 3 weeks ago I was baptized in the name of Jesus and it was a wonderful day. I had never been sumerged in water before bc that's not how the Methodist do it. I was sprinkled on the forehead when I was a baby and then confirmed and sprinkled again when I was around 11 or 12. I honestly couldn't tell you the reasoning behind that method, but I can tell you about being baptized in Jesus Name. In Acts 2:38 it says plainly,

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Isn't that just awesome? Being forgiven of all of your sins and your slate being completely wiped cleaned? And then on top of that being filled with the Holy Ghost, what could be better than that and with having the Holy Ghost comes power to defend yourself against evil. Call on God and ask him to come into your life and you will see a transformation that is so amazing. You will see changes and blessings being poured upon you.

Today's Deep Thought:

Surrender

If we are to be the best for God, we need to let Him be God in our lives. How do we do this? In I Peter 5:6-7 it says "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:(7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." God's responsibility is to care for His children. Our responsibility is to allow Him to do just that. He wants to care for us for all eternity. It is human nature to try to care for ourselves. We feel we can make it on our own power and strength, but we can't. We were not made to care for ourselves. We were made for the Glory of God. Today, let us rely on God to be God, and let us cast all of our cares on to Him. He is waiting to care for us right now. Surrender!!

That is from an email that I get daily from The Deep Thought that Greg Blair sends. I liked its meaning and thought that I would share.
