How are you living the dash?
Today, I awoke to a beautiful sunny day. Although I knew had to attend a memorial service, there was something positive in the air this morning. Maybe it was just the fact that God allowed me another breath to breathe. To enjoy His goodness. As I started to Winston-Salem for the service, my thoughts went back to a time where I had known this young lady (Chrystel) as a child. Her life was full of hopes and dreams . . . kind of like what was in the the air this morning . . . "God's mercies are new every morning . . . Great is His faithfulness." Tragically, this young girls life was cut too short by terrible circumstances that were some what beyond her control. I often think . . could I have done more? Was I truly there for her. I know that you cannot live your life for what could or should have been, but today . . . His mercies are knew . . . I am challenging you to find someone this week that needs the love of Christ. This means getting involved in their life and pointing them to Christ. This takes time and effort. To put it mildly . . . it may cost you some comfort . . . it will cost you something . . . but the rewards out weigh the cost. Are you making a difference in the world around you . . . one child at a time? The question was . . how are you living the dash? May 1967 - 20? Are you living it vainly for yourself . . . or are you making a difference in some one's life who needs Christ. I challenge you to find a Chrystel . . . before one more child has to loose out on their hopes and dreams. Deuteronomy 6:7, Eccl. 11:8, Proverbs 14:26.

Well, here we go, another step of faith.
Well, here we go. Another step of faith. Today is my first official day . . . full time with High Rock Community Church. It has been an interesting journey to get here. God has had this planned for me long before I existed. Jeremiah 29:11-13 is my family's life verse. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord.
My journey started the day I accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I was a 12yr. old girl full of hopes and dreams. When I heard the story of Christ and what He had done for me . . . I immediately was drawn to this man who loved me so much. I was not raised in a christian home, so to hear of something so wonderful was more than I could ever imagine. Through the years, my love for music and for God took me places that only came from making myself available for His service. Through ministries such as "S.A.L.T.", "World Help/Mission", "Tapestry", and solo venues, I have been able to share my personal experience with God. Recently, my husband and I, along with our daughter moved to Salisbury, North Carolina. My husband is originally from this area and felt the Lord was directing us to "come home." Through a series of events we moved the spring of 2004. It was several months afterwards that we became affiliated with High Rock Community Church. After much involvement, our love for the church and the people grew. As plans went under-way for the Denton Campus, my husband and I were approached to take on the new campus. Through much prayer, we decided that this is what the Lord had in store for us. And so the journey continues . . . as of August 2006, I am leading worship at the Denton campus along with a host of a million other tasks. But I wouldn't have it any other way. There is a certain contentment . . . a peace . . . if you will . . . when you are in the center of God's will. I look forward to keeping you up to date on the journey.
