Refiner’s Fire

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Refiner’s fire
My heart’s one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my Master
Ready to do Your will

OMG— God SHOWED OFF at the Women of Virtue Conference!

Hi Yahoo!360 … it’s about 3:39am… and I just can’t sleep! On Thursday night we held the “Women of Virtue Conference 2006″ on the campus of Saint Xavier University… we prepared for months… and God showed up in AWESOME ways… He went beyond just ‘showing up’ and truly showed off!

So many were blessed and the entire thing went forth with out any troubles, hangups, or snags! You just couldn’t have planned for that event to go better than it did. I’ve got a meeting at 9am and have to be up at 7am… but I’m just SO CHARGED from tonights event! I promised myself that I wouldn’t get on the computer, but I had to get up and get some of this energy out.

We did videotape so in a few weeks I’ll be able to get some footage online. And when I do, you’ll get to hear me preach (a lil’) and see me dance.

Ok… maybe since I said that much I’ll be able to get some rest. Be blessed yall!

PRAISE! for March 12, 2006 -11:28pm

Sing to the Lord, O you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. –Psalm 30:4-5 (Amplified Bible)

I just need to take a minute to give my God praise for all the things that he has done! As you may see in my previous post, I wasn’t feeling so great late last night, but today has been a great one all the way through. I still need Him more than anything, but I’m happy to know that he’s making a way for me — despite my current situations. I’m most happy that I was simply able to enjoy the day… a day that He made!

I really enjoyed service at church today… that means alot because I’ve had a difficult time at my church in the past several months. But this is the second Sunday in a row of really encountering God in our service. It was like he’s showing me that NOTHING can stop him… and confirming that I can trust him for everything.

I’ve recently had some major financial setbacks, but I’m seeing God increase my favor to match what I’ve lost… he’s still making a way for me. It’s tough right now… but God’s grace is sufficient! I have what I need, get where I need to go, and it’s all according to HIS goodness. I’m looking at my heart… and the very prayer that I’ve prayed “Lord, give me a clean heart… change my very desires so I want what YOU want” — God has been doing just that… quietly… I’m not running out after the things I used to just about break my neck to get to!

Lastly, I want to give special thanks to my new friend Nate. I was hired to take pictures for his debut concert, but I was BLESSED by the event. This is the second time I’ve walked away from this man’s pressence having a God encounter… and we’ve only met twice! I really appreciate it when someone allows God to speak out of their life and into mine– and this not with mere words, but with a lifestyle that is pleasing to the Lord.

I Love God… and I’m happy to be called a Son and a Friend.
