NO, REALLY!!!

Soooooo I got my second writing assignment back from writing instructor and I am totally laughing at something he said to me. He first wrote that he really like my story. However, he then went on to give me some good, constructive criticsm. He said that I need to be careful about making mistakes in my writing that will reveal that I am an amateur.

For example, for part of the assignment, we had to turn in a manuscript in the correct format that you would send it to a publication for review. So I turned in my story, The Little Messenger, well you would have to read the story to understand this line, but I say, "I have liked a million guys since that time." So he crosses it out and instead of million he puts, many. I just busted up laughing when I saw that! I told my sister, OBVIOUSLEY, he doesn't know me that well yet! Mary's like MANY GUYS?! NO REALLY, it's probabley been a literal million...NO EXAGERATION! HAHA!!!

I was joking around with my brother's one time and I was like, "I honestly think it is EASIER for me to name the guys I have NEVER liked, that to try and name ALL the guys that I have!!! My brother John was like, " yeah, if your a guy, and Mary has NEVER liked you, you have SERIOUSLEY got to be THE BIGGERST LOSER EVER! Cause, Mary likes EVERYONE!!!"

A MILLION?!?!

No, REALLY!!!

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!
