What love looks like!!!

What does LOVE look like?! I don't mean i'm talking about real, true LOVE between a man and a woman! What does it look like??? THINK ABOUT IT!!! If you were to draw a picture of love,

WHAT WOULD YOU DRAW???

You can try to think up the most romantic pictures of a man and a woman in love, two people gazing into each others eyes on a starry night...a Married man kissing his wife beneath the mistletoe, a man and a woman running into each others arms after a long separation, holding hands walking along the beach and on and on the list can go as we began to think up romantic scenarios of LOVE!!!

However, this past Sunday morning at my church, I looked up from where I was praying in pre-service prayer and in that moment,

I SAW WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!!!

There were the Abbotts praying together. Bishop Abbott sitting in the chair because his body is to weak for him to kneel anymore and his wife on the floor beside him rocking back and forth like she always has, their hands resting on each others arms, connecting together in prayer!!!

When I saw this I was like, AWWWWW!!! I couldn't miss this opportunity to capture this picture of LOVE!!! This my friends is what LOVE looks like!!! ITs not in the pomp and blair and fireworks of romantic things that you will find a picture of love! Its with two people that have struggled through life TOGETHER serving God!!! Its with TWO people committed to no matter what happens, HOLDING ON TO each other and to Jesus!!!

THATS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!!!

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!
