More Summer Happenings

September 1--Happy Labor Day everyone!  Hope you are enjoying your day off.  This weekend we had our Super Sunday, hosting 55 children in Sunday School.  What energy!  

Here is a recap of events since my last post...

Hearst Castle visit on Alana's birthday

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean...such a pretty view

Ode the the Red Honda...she was a great first car and kept me safe from the many perils on the road.  The time came to replace her, however, so its good-bye red honda and thank you for all the adventures!

My New Honda Accord....

Heritage 2014

Summer 2014

Hello Dear Readers~

I am so happy that summer is in full swing.  Here in Lompoc the summer weather is just right--stays in the 70s and cools off in the evenings.  I love living on the coast.  

My exciting news is that I am now working at Marian Regional Medical Center....

...in the extended care portion of the facility.  I am working on the orthopedic unit where we care for mending bones.  I see a lot knee/hip surgeries and motor vehicle accidents.  My hours are 11 PM to 7:30 AM.  I LOVE it!  I wish I was working tonight but....alas, its my night off.  Its 11:30 now and there is no way I'll be getting to sleep any time soon as I'm accustomed to sleeping in the day.  So here I am, working hard on my blog! :))

Meanwhile, my other life...... The Gospel Lighthouse Church....  

We have had some great services.  Here we are in youth service.  Alana leading songs, me on the piano....

Youth Skit..."How [NOT] To Witness"  so funny....

Our Sunday School department is booming.  We have been busing in around 20 kids each Sunday.  I'll not post any pictures of these kids since I don't have all the proper permissions but yes, Sunday School has been very exciting lately!

HERITAGE:  

Who is going?  I have my ticket--I'll be Colorado in just a couple weeks!  I am so excited to hear some good preaching...

Good Singing....

MISSIONS:

The work we support in Brazil is doing so well.  The Apostolic Church of Brasil has opened this new church 

We went to Brother Prather's youth rally in Ventura not too long ago.  His sanctuary is newly remodeled...

So pretty inside.  Great service....

A hello from my dog, Bela....

Summer is off to a good start.  Ill keep the posts coming!  

What I'm Currently Listening To:

"He Reigns" First Apostolic Church of Maryville, TN

"The Mission/How Great Thou Art" The Piano Guys

Nursing School Graduation

Happy February!  This is a very happy time for me—I had my nursing school graduation at the end of January and then my birthday was a week later.  My Grandparents flew all the way from Florida to celebrate this happy time with me.  Here are some pictures…

 

 

 

 

What is next?  I am in the process of being interviewed for nursing positions.  I trust that God has the perfect place in mind for me.  Stay tuned for more good news! :))

Music 2014



 

May I introduce...the Gospel Lighthouse Choir...

 

The GPL choir has been together now for 1 year and has come a long way.  These singers have truly become a team and are singing so well together.  They have learned some difficult songs such as Power Filled With The Spirit, Let Your Anointing Fall On Me, Your Name, Dance All Over This House, We Still Believe, I Need Your Glory, I Won't Go Back, and more!  I am appreciative of all their hard work and dedication to the practices each Sunday at 5:30 PM! 

 

If you are one who also works with singer teams and you're like me, you start looking for new music at the beginning of each year.  Here are some ideas of where to look...

 

I am looking to attend this music conference.  Check out http://www.pgpc.net/ for more info on the Synergy Music Conference in Pine Grove. 

 

 Sister Cooley sent me this flyer--Texas Bible College Higher Ground Music Conference.

Jeremiah Sibley will be a clinician this year--he is an outstanding piano player who conducts online piano classes:  www.BSHARPTRICKS.com 

 

Being the supportive alumni that I am of Texas Bible College :)) 

TBC Live Recording...February 7th.  Their recording 2 years ago was terrific--I got a lot of good songs from their arrangements.  You can purchase on iTunes

 

Most music conferences have "absentee registration" available.  You can have the whole packet of new music PLUS any session lectures mailed to you.

 

Hope this inspires you to find new songs in 2014 for your singer groups.  Any questions, leave a comment... 

 

   

 

 

 

 

Winter Heritage 2014

Hello Everyone!  I have returned.  Life is back to normal for me now that nursing school is over, my NCLEX test is over, and I am working.  I am able to freely travel once again.  SO  my sister and I, along with my parents, flew out to Dallas for Winter Heritage.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself...

Speakers this year:  Robert Davis, Homer Looper, Rodney Betts

US Airways

 

Love, Love, Love Dallas

We found a mirror by the elevator :))

Ran into the Crosswhites at conference--so nice to see these friends

Texas BBQ...

Yum!

The mirror

Alana and I got to praise sing--what a privilege

Anointed worship, life-changing preaching. 

Every message spoke right to me.  I cried my eyeballs out after brother Betts' message on loving God.  I don't ever want to get to the place where I fall in love with all that Pentecost has to offer that I miss the point.  I want to be consecrated because I love God.

Lock-in time.  My dear friend Shauna and I.  Check out the website she designed: www. csfpc . com

Okay, I have to say that I really enjoyed the lock-in.  I was too busy enjoying myself that I didn't take any pictures.  Funny story:  Below is a picture of what I wore to the lock-in.  When I went up to the brother in charge of the volleyball game and told him I wanted to play his response was, "Oh NO, NO.  How can you play in ruffles?"  I wound up playing and I laughed so hard the entire time.  Oh man, those Texans are serious about winning.  Good thing we did.  See........ you can play in ruffles  :))

The Lock-in ended at 2 AM.  We left for the DFW airport at 3:30 AM.  I haven't slept in over 48 hours.  I think Ill call it a night...
