Important Nothings: Finding Freedom
http://gayannebates.blogspot.com/2015/07/finding-freedom.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses. Surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance. The race that lies before us." Hebrews 12:1. It's getting to that win that leaves scars. When I have the power of the Almighty God living inside of me, why would I choose anything else? When I have the tools at my disposal to defeat the enemy who wants to destroy me, why would I not whisper the name of Jesus?

Friday, December 31, 2010. Taking Down the Tree. The boxes are down from the attic and the kids are helping me round up all the little Christmas trees placed throughout the house. I'm sure we will discover one missed in a couple of weeks.or months! As Christmas is past and 2010 is ending, I am reflecting back on this year and I have to say that I am ready for 2011. Sunday, December 26, 2010. Thy Word Have I Hid. This has been one of the best Christmases that my family has experienced in a long time!

Thursday, January 27, 2011. Our school participates in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) speech meet each year. Last year, Jackson wrote an original speech for the meet and I shared it with all of you. Cameron chose to write his own speech this time around and again, I want to share. It is definitely a proud moment to see your child get up in front of others and speak.especially their own thoughts. Enjoy. What Basketball Means to Me. In basketball, you need to be fast as you run d...

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Getting outside your comfort zone is refreshing and necessary. Necessary to a life committed to laughter and fullness, that is! Today, I stepped out of my comfort zone. I danced.on stage.by myself (for a brief moment).in front of people.to Michael Jackson's Thriller! I'm posting the video to prove I did it.but it isn't much to see! You can't hear the music because the audience is going wild! Middle school and high school students after finals! They would cheer for anyone! It's co...

Thursday, December 31, 2009. Last summer Kelly took a small group of students to the Purpose Driven Youth Leadership Conference in California. It was an amazing trip as we were challenged to grow in worship, through the various postures of prayer, and in finding our own personal Kingdom Assignment. God was sorry that He had made man. His very own creation broke His heart. Steadily. Direct or sure in movement. Unfaltering. Let us make a clean sweep as we enter this new year. Prayerfully consider all t...

Important Nothings: February 2010
http://gayannebates.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. I wanted to share Jackson's speech with you. Several parents who heard him said he had their vote. His are powerful words that we should take to heart. Let's keep our nation free and commit to doing our part to make her into a strong Christian nation who honors the Lord. By Jackson Bates, age 10. As Americans we claim to be free, but are we? We can move about freely, own private property and bear arms, but will the government one day try to change this? Monday, February 15, 2010.

Saturday, July 28, 2012. Last night I was going through some old things.tossing out what wasn't needed. I came across some cards from dear friends, a thank you letter from a special friend for her 30th birthday party, pictures from college, and a picture with a note from my mom that I kept on my wall during college. Another find was one of mom's letters! And not just one of them.it was the very one that I wanted most dearly! I am loved by the King and it makes my heart want to sing! I always heard people...

Monday, July 19, 2010. Where everybody knows your name. It may have been a bar that was referred to as the place where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came. But.it should be the church. Noone should walk through the doors of a church and feel unwanted or unwelcome. Each individual should be touched and spoken to. And, I mean spoken to in a conversation sort of way.not in a "Good Morning" now I'm done fashion. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Our life and times.
