I Love God So Much!!

Service tonight was AMAZING!!!! Actually, all day was tubular. This morning in service, we just praised and praised and praised...lol, we actually missed sunday school. Tonight was just as incredibly awesome, Joe almost got the Holy Ghost...he just has to learn to yield to what the Holy Ghost wants and he'll get it! We had prayer meeting before night services (ya know, gas being so high and the fact that nobody from the church in Bearden actually lives in Bearden)..and it was so sweet!! Adrionna (3) and Haylie (turned 2 today) were praying with us. I had Haylie in my lap and she got down when Bro. Adam got in the "prayer chair" and put her little hand on his knee and scrunched up her face and prayed for him, then saw his wife sitting in the floor with her hand on his foot, and put her hand on his foot and kept praying, and then back on his knee with her scrunced face. it was so sweet!!!! Adrionna kept getting back up in the chair and saying "pray for me!" and was going up and laying hands on people and praying for them too, it was so sweet!!

Okay, so here's just a little background information. I go to the Lighthouse of Hope Apostolic church of Bearden, Arkansas. We're really really tiny and we're independent (meaning not UPC, ACJC, ALJC, PAW, or anything else). We usually run somewhere around 20 people. There's my pastor and his wife (aka, Pastor and Mama Givens) and their daughter Suzie, who is also my bestest friend ever. They have a son named James Jr who is married to Jodie recently and has 4 stepkids now, Blake, Bryce, Briar, and Brennan (Jodie's first marraige). Then there's Courtney and Adam, married for 7 years, i think...Courtney was married to Mama Givens nephew and he was adulterous, so they split and she married Adam. Adam is the adopted son of Bro. George, who sits in the back all the time. Next is Joe and Cassie, Joe is Pastor and Mama Givens nephew, he's still trying to get the Holy Ghost, he's only been in church a year, and Cassie is Suzie's friend from ages ago and my friend too. She backslid and got pregnant with Adrionna (Adrie) and she's back in church now, doing wonderfully, They're married and have another daughter, Haylie, (Hayhay) and another on the way, she's due in January. They're madly in love, even though they fight like an old married couple. I'm friends with both Joe and Cassie and i absolutley love babysitting the girls. My nickname Kakkawee came from haylie who couldn't say my name right. She can say it now, but the name stuck. Anyway, in continuance, There's me, who has been in church for three years and my mother who has been in church almost one year now. Tiffany, my college roommate and Sisterhood sister, has had the Holy Ghost three weeks now and comes occasionally when she can, and lastly, but certianly not leastly, Mother Teresa and Bro. Eddie.....we call her Mother Teresa (or more appropriatley Mudda Resa) cause Sister Teresa sounded so strange and she suggested it so it stuck!. They're in and out, and i don't i've ever seen a couple so plagued by bad things!. That's another story though. We have more that come and go, but i'll talk about them later. We're just a little home missions church in the middle of this little podunk town, which i love even though i don't live there.

I think that's all i'll write for now. Later!
