Almost is STILL a miracle!!

My neice Mary Jo ALMOST got the Holy Ghost tonight!!! She said this afternoon that she WANTED to pray tonight and I was like YES! She said she was gonna sit up front with me and everything...come preachin time I just see that girls eyes droopin...I was like OH NO WAY!!! That is soooooooo NOT happening!!! So I put her on my lap and KEPT bouncing her and makin her get up and worship with me in the preaching...LOL!!!

AnywayZ, just the fact that she is EVEN seeking the Holy Ghost is a TOTAL MIRACLE and an AWESOME birthday present to us BOTH!!!! Just last month, at the Jr. Camp, she was covering her ears any time the Holy Ghost was even mentioned and at alter call she was sitting on the ground just rollin around and playing with THE DIRT!!! LOL!

This morning pastor preached a simple message, but all the kids could just totally relate to it. It was about something they could ALL relate with...SWIMMING, DROWNING AND FLOATIES!!! HAHA!!! Something just clicked in her and SHE WANTS THE HOLY GHOST!!!

I was talkin to her this afternoon and I was like tellin her all kinds of stuff about kids getting the Holy Ghost. I was tellin her about when I got the Holy Ghost and then I remembered Cara Wilkins telling me about when SHE got the Holy Ghost... how she did wanna raise her hands or something and she would stop praying when people would come over to her...so I start tellin her about Cara, cause she just thinks that Cara is like SOOOOO cool and I told her that Cara finally decided NOT to have an attitude about it and just raise her hands. So i'm like you kinda hav a little bit of an attitude still, huh girl!!! And she is like, "Yeah!!! Kinda like JESTINA!!!!" HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Keep MJ in your prayers.

She said she is going to keep praying for it at HERITAGE this next week!

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
