Well, its certainly been a while since I have posted anything and my blogs seem to empty. A lot has happened since my last post in I think it was October of last year, but God has certainly been changing Keith and I from the inside out. A lot has changed in the last few months, but I am so very thankful that God never changes. He loves us despite what we do or the decisions we make.
Since I last posted, we has went through many holidays, b days and so much more. Our kids, Riley and Jaden are growing up so quick. Riley is now 5, and with the attitude that comes with that age, lol, and Jaden is 3. He is coming out now with a personality of his own. I think starting school has helped out with that, and he is more expressive that what he used to be.
He loves school and being around others, but it does tire him out a good bit. Although it does, we are so thankful that he has the oppertunity to learn what he is learning, and we have seen remarkable improvement in his development since he started. He has been through so many delays since he has been born, and so much sickness, but for once I think we are seeing a good road ahead for him. Riley absolutely loves school and will get bored when its out I am sure. She loves having her freinds and has gotten involved well at school. She has become quite the little artist, and she is very smart.
Keith and I celebrated our ninth anniversary in January... and some people said we would not make it long. HAHA!!!! I just had to say that. We did get married young, but our sweet Lord put us together forever. We are truely blessed to have each other.
God is blessing in our jobs, and we could not ask anything more. At church, the van minsitry is going well, and we might end up starting two vans soon on Sunday. That would be so cool. Keith and I have both been involved in Media and its been wonderful to learn the different aspects of it all. Its so exciting! Not sure if I will continue being apart of the media team continually. I feel God moving in a different direction so you might want to be tuned in for more later developments. God always keeps things interesting doesnt he.
Recently we have had to give up our cat that we have had for 8 years. We found out that Jaden is allergic to cats, so there was no choice. The kids are adjusting well, but it was hard for them. Our Dog snowball is not adjusting well to it at all. She is lonely during the day, but is making it. She is so spoiled anyways.
Beyond all the hardships Keith and I have been through, there has been so much blessing within it. God has been certainly taking me through a journey lately that has been a lot of sacrifice and tears, but oh the joy and Freedom that he has brought out of it all. Its been amazing.
See, instead of looking at the over all picture, God wants us to look at the things he wants us to learn through it all. Sometimes the little things are what leads us into the bigger things. Just like Sacrifice and tears go together at times, learning and building do also. We need to learn to take one step at a time to get to where we need or want to be. If it happens all at one time, we cant appreciate the process.
I need to end now, but expect more at a later sooner date. Blessings on you all! Kelly

One Step At A Time....
Tonight I felt compelled to listen to music on the internet. I don't get a chance to do this much, so I took the opportunity I had to do so. As I went through music videos that I had seen before I found on in particular that blessed my heart so much in the situations that I am going through right now personally. Its a music video by Jordin Sparks called, "One Step At A Time", and it reminded me that sometimes we try to rush things in life, when we really just need to sit back and let life happen to us. Yes, that means that we rely on faith, but what else better is there to rely on than our faith and trust in Christ to bring us through. Its quite amazing. Here are the lyrics and the video website. Read and listen. It will difinetely make you think a lot!

ONE STEP AT A TIME LYRICS by JORDIN SPARKS:
From Jordin Sparks's new album,
Jordin Sparks)
Hurry Up And Wait
So Close, But So Far Away
Everything That You've Always Dreamed Of
Close Enough For You To Taste
But You Just Can't Touch
You Wanna Show The World, But No One Knows Your Name Yet
Wonder When And Where And How You're Gonna Make It
You Know You Can If You Get The Chance
In Your Face As The Door Keeps Slamming
Now You're Feeling More And More Frustrated
And You're Getting All Kind Of Impatient Waiting
[chorus]
We Live And We Learn To Take
One Step At A Time
There's No Need To Rush
It's Like Learning To Fly
Or Falling In Love
It's Gonna Happen And It's
Supposed To Happen That We
Find The Reasons Why
On Step At A Time
You Believe And You Doubt
You're Confused, You Got It All Figured Out
Everything That You Wished For
Could Be Yours, Should Be Yours, Would Be Yours
If They Only Knew
You Wanna Show The World, But No One Knows Your Name Yet
Wonder When And Where And How You're Gonna Make It
You Know You Can If You Get The Chance
In Your Face As The Door Keeps Slamming
Now You're Feeling More And More Frustrated
And You're Getting All Kind Of Impatient Waiting

Flower in the Rain.
The following song has been on my heart the last couple of days and I have listened to it over and over. Its a song my Jaci V. and its awesome. It talks about us sometimes being int he storms of life and all the joy and peace that we tend to have seems to just disapaer but in those moments is when we need to count on God to get us through the most. I can relate since I am in that boat right now. It seems like when I need him the most he shows up just to give me enough strength to continue on the journey he has me on. I have to not let fear and dougt reign, but to over come it, but it can only be done through him. We have to be willing to be a flower in the rain and to be opened up.
Yep doing this is a risk and when there is a lot of hurt there, you put your heart right out there to be broken agian, but in the situations that I find myself in right now its better to follow God in obedeince than not. The only way we can die is to self and where that pain is within our obedince to him let him have it and change it into joy. We might be faced with a hard storm that we feel like no one understands or has been through before, but God says we are not alone. When we cant seem to go on he is there holding us.
He searches every part of us and knows it all, but still loves us so unconditionally. Even with the darkness that we have God still wants to shine within us, and put away that darkness. The question is will we let him.
Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la (la la)
Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la
You are the one, theres no one else
Who lifts me up and gives me water from the well.
But theres a hole that seems to drain it all away.
And once again Im left in fear and doubt
When all my strength is crying out.
So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?
Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la
The evil wind, (ooh) it blows a storm to rock my world (aah)
Just when think Im safe and warm.
Im led astray far too easily.
Its always hard for me to say Im wrong,
Until I know I cant go on.
So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?
Lord, you have searched me and know
When I sleep and when I rise.
Youre familiar with all my ways.
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day when you look into my heart.
So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain,
Like a flower in the rain?
Listen to this song and take the lyrics to heart. Really think about where you are and where you want to be. I can tell you it will change you just like it has changed me. Be blessed Kelly

Sold Out For Christ....
Tonight I attended the See you at the pole rally at HCHS. It was a wonderful experience although not really my type of music. I like some of the Echoing Angels songs, but not all of them. But the atmosphere was great.
As I was taking pictures, I watched the youth people worship like I had not seen in a long time. There nothing like seeing youth people worship the Lord. I stood amazed at what God was doing in that breif moment.
As the speaker finally got up there my heart was tuned into what he had to say. The speaker was David Colston. I probably did not spell his name right, but he will forgive me if I did not. Anyways, Davids heart as he was speaking was just so awesome. He wanted to make sure he shared with only the intentions of what God had to share, and not on his on intentions, which blessed me. In that moment he reminded me of David in whom was an awesome man of God sold out for only God.
In his message, he talked about being sold out truely to God. As See You At The Pole comes up every year, we pray for our nation, cities, schools, gov. etc. but one thing that pricked my heart the most was will you be apart of those prayers you pray. I was like WHAT!!!! Then he went on to say if you pray for your freinds salvation would you be the one willing to share Christ to them. At that moment, I said WOW.... I did not know what else to say. It blew me away. That moment to me was so eyeopening. Then he went on to talk about a story about a little girl who was in church one day. This little girl was poor and did not have anything to give in the offering plate. As the ushers were taking up the offering she stopped one of them. She asked the usher to lower the offering plate several times until it was mainly on the ground. The usher was looking at her not really understanding what she meant. Then this little girl stepped into the offering plate and said, "Lord I dont have anything else, so I give you all of me". How much of yourself would you be willing to give. Are we going to be like this child nad be sold out compeletely to him.
We have to be like children to come to him. Depend on him today to help you be sold out for him. No we cant do it ourselves, but he can do it through us. Be Blessed....

So Blessed
I came across this song tonight and thought I would share it with everyone. It reminded me how blessed we really are. No matter what we may be going through or storms we are trying to conquer, all of us are blessed. This is a song by Martina Mcbride. The lyrics are as follows.
Blessed
I get kissed by the sun each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinking
By the way I look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet
And no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
When I'm singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
We are all blessed just to be able to wake up each morning and see the sun and breathe. God has blessed us with small things that we tend to forget about, because we get our mind on things around us, instead of what is truly important. So today beside to have a blessed attitude no matter what may be going on in your life. God Bless.......

The Journey, By Billy Graham
Tonight Keith and I had a Financial Peace University class at The Torch. As we were listening to Dave Ramsey talk about mutual funds and talking about the millions of illustrations and stories that he gives every week as he talks, he talked about reading and what you can learn from it. As he was talking about this my heart was quickened. Several months ago I has started reading a book called, "The Journey" by Billy Graham but had not really gotten into it to much. As he was speaking my heart became quickened to pick it up tonight and read once again.
As I did, a lot of things was poured into me, but there were two things I felt like I needed to write about. First, At the end of chapter three he talked about God being our friend and that we were made to know who God is and what he can do through us. Although the Christian life is a learning process that never ends, we become to know Christ but a lot of people don't know him as friend or have a deep relationship with him. If they don't, they are missing out.
God wants us to know him and have a every day relationship with him. In the words of Billy Gramham, he says as follows,
"This is a staggering truth. Think of it: The infinite, all powerful, holy God of the universe wants to be your friend! He wants you to know him persoanlly and to discover what it means to walk with him every day. He wants you to know he is with you and he wants to have communication with you through his word and through prayer. He wants to comfort you when you are upset or anxoius and to encourage you when you are dejected or depressed. He wants to guide you when you face difficult decisions and he even wants to correct you when you are about to do someting foolish or wrong".
This to me is such a wonderful word. He wants to be our freind even when we sin. My heart just jumps for excitement when I read that becasue of the fact that that truely shows how much he really loves us. He looks at us for who we are and not what we do. We were created for the purpose of just having a personal relationship with our creator God. Now, obviously we will never learn everything there is to know about who God is, but we can through our journey in life find out everything we can about his character and the will he has for each of our lifes.
Having a deep personal relationship with our heavenly father on a continuous basis shows where our priorities are and how much we really want his fellowship. I know I want and need it so much. He is so precoius. Even when we fail to do so he is still right there waiting on us to invite him to commune with us. He is there to help us with our every need, and how great is his love for us.
Second, when we come to Christ, we find a new life in him. Our distiny and journey completely changes as we grow in relationship in him. No matter what we go through though in our lifes, we have Christ walking with us helping us in every thing we deal with. How awesome is this. The benefits of the christain life far outwieghs in hardships we go through. I can truley say that its worth the journey.
So today I hope those who read this will feel compelled to continue to commune with the Lord in personal relationship with him, but if you are not I hope you will start. Its amazing what God can do when you get alone with him and totally surrender everything you have in personal relationship with him. I can guarantee that you will never be the same again.

God's Will...
We all in our life's try to figure out what God's Will is. What is our purpose? I came across this song the other day and it blessed me quite significantly. God's will can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes we just need to get out of the way and let him do it!! (This is a Sista Staci Comment). I was reminded of this tonight in one of our talks. I have searched a long time for God's will for my life, and I have dreams that I wanted to meet. Although one of those is not meet yet, I feel like I am on the right track.
See, this year marks 10 years that I have been out of high school and 5 years out of college. I have learned a lot over the years and God has changed me a lot. Its been a great journey and its still not over. If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would be back where I started then I would have told you that you were nuts. See, I recently started back at Mcdonalds, and I love it. Mcdonalds was my first real job exactly 10 years ago. Some of you might think I am nuts but really I am not. Fast food might not be the best job in some peoples perspective, but it is for me. God knows what he is doing, and really when you really look at it its a mission field for Family Ministry. See, Gods will for me is not the place where I am, its my attitude and how I perceive ministry where I am. Interesting uh....
God's will can be looked at in so many ways, but we need to be reminded that its not always where we are in the physical sense, but where our heart is. God can use you no matter where you are, only if you are willing to be used. In this song for instance, the little boy is God's will in Martinas life. He came along and she was searching for a long time for something. When he came along, she was touched in such a powerful way. At the end he says that I love you and so does God. How powerful. See, in my job a smile or just hand shake to let someone know that I care can speak volumes. I have already expereinced it already and got blessed at the same time. Its amazing how God can work isnt it.
So, listen and read the lyrics to this song. Know what Gods will is in your life weather its the place you work, the people you are around or a ministry that God has put you in. Be thankful and be blessed for all of it.
This is the website of the video. Be Blessed!!!

I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first
His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
Made me hurt
Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
In our neighborhood
[Chorus:]
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will
Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when
Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him
[Chorus]
Before they moved to California
His mother said, they didn't think he'd live
And she said each day that I have him, well it's just
another gift
And I never got to tell her, that the boy
Showed me the truth
In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
Me and God love you
I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded
I guess I would be still
Yeah that was until...
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
Be blessed in Gods will..... Kelly
See, this year marks 10 years that I have been out of high school and 5 years out of college. I have learned a lot over the years and God has changed me a lot. Its been a great journey and its still not over. If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would be back where I started then I would have told you that you were nuts. See, I recently started back at Mcdonalds, and I love it. Mcdonalds was my first real job exactly 10 years ago. Some of you might think I am nuts but really I am not. Fast food might not be the best job in some peoples perspective, but it is for me. God knows what he is doing, and really when you really look at it its a mission field for Family Ministry. See, Gods will for me is not the place where I am, its my attitude and how I perceive ministry where I am. Interesting uh....
God's will can be looked at in so many ways, but we need to be reminded that its not always where we are in the physical sense, but where our heart is. God can use you no matter where you are, only if you are willing to be used. In this song for instance, the little boy is God's will in Martinas life. He came along and she was searching for a long time for something. When he came along, she was touched in such a powerful way. At the end he says that I love you and so does God. How powerful. See, in my job a smile or just hand shake to let someone know that I care can speak volumes. I have already expereinced it already and got blessed at the same time. Its amazing how God can work isnt it.
So, listen and read the lyrics to this song. Know what Gods will is in your life weather its the place you work, the people you are around or a ministry that God has put you in. Be thankful and be blessed for all of it.

I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first
His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
Made me hurt
Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
In our neighborhood
[Chorus:]
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will
Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when
Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him
