The Williams!!!

In todays' day and time,
it's easy to lose sight,
of the true meaning of Christmas
and one special night.

When we go shopping,
We say "How much will it cost?"
Then the true meaning of Christmas,
Somehow becomes lost.

Amidst the tinsel, glitter
And ribbons of gold,
We forget about the child,
born on a night so cold.

The children look for Santa
In his big, red sleigh
Never thinking of the child
Whose bed was made of hay.

In reality,
When we look into the night sky,
We don't see a sleigh
But a star, burning bright and high.

A faithful reminder,
Of that night so long ago,
And of the child we call Jesus,
Whose love, the world would know.

Wow!! It has been forever since my last post! I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and share this little poem!

I am thankful:

For the wife
Who says it's hot dogs tonight
Because she is home with me
And not out with someone else.

For the husband
Who is on the sofa
Being a couch potato
Because he is home with me
And not out at the bars.

For the teenager
Who is complaining about doing dishes
Because it means she is at home,
Not on the streets.

For the taxes I pay
Because it means
I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party
Because it means I have
Been surrounded by friends

For the clothes that fit a little too snug
Because it means
I have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work
Because it means
I am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing,
Windows that need cleaning,
And gutters that need fixing
Because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining
I hear about the government
Because it means
We have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot
I find at the far end of the parking lot
Because it means
I am capable of walking,
And I have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill
Because it means
I am warm.

For the lady behind me in church
Who sings off key
Because it means I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing
Because it means
I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles
At the end of the day
Because it means I have been
Capable of working.

For the alarm that goes off
In the early morning hours
Because it means
I am alive.

And finally, for too much e-mail
Because it means
I have friend who is thinking of me.

Proverbs 27:17 (New International Version)

17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.

As we are meeting new people, it is important that we stay sharp! The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy..
If we stay on track and stay sharp...the enemy has already lost the battle. The importance of staying sharp, is so we may sharpen others! We are told to go and make diciples...sharpen others in the process! God blesses obdience... Stay in faith, be obedient and stay sharp!!!

First off, I would just like to say this 4th is one I will always remember!!!

It has become a tradition to go out on the boat every 4th of July! It is so much fun! We actually put in the boat close to where we live, and it usually takes about an hour to get downtown!! We usually enjoy the nice sunshine and just kick back and relax...
But, this is how our trip went....
We got to the ramp to launch the boat...and it was raining! I had been checking my phone and it was just a little storm that was going to blow over..so, we waited! It finally stopped raining and we sat off! It was cloudy and a little chilly on the ride to downtown...but, it wasn't all that bad! We got about 20 minutes from downtown and I check my phone...I had like 7 missed calls!! I checked my voicemail...and to my surprise, it was my family...they were calling to tell us to get off the river! Apparently there were thunderstorm warnings all over Tennessee. So, we were now 15 minutes away from the fireworks and if we turned back, it was a 45 minute ride back. We decided we would watch the fireworks really quick and head back. The fireworks were great! But, all at once the bottom fell out! Here we were...in the middle of the river during a thunderstorm. We all grabbed our blankets and towels and took cover! Everything we had was soaked...everything!!! We finally got the boat under the bridge and we were able to catch a break from the rain! We waited for an hour or so...the longest hour of my life...lol! We finally decided we would try to make it back. We were still soaked and freezing cold! We made it back to the boat ramp about an hour later...
This was a time to rejoice!!! YAY....LAND!!!! Overall, the night was long, wet, cold, full of bugs and full of laughs! It is really funny now that I think back!! This is for sure one 4th that I will never forget!

I am not even sharing pictures.... We looked scary by the end of the night!! LOL!

If you would like to check out the wonderful fireworks... go check out Travis and Ashley's blog!! LOL!

Happy Fathers Day!


What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

Enjoy!!


Let us pray for the poor animals we are about to see!


OH...Here we go..


What did I do to deserve this? HELP ME!


I will save you! Stupid Humans!


Where is the coffee?!!! Coffee!! Coffee!!!


That cat stands no chance...


I will get that little evil chick....


We will fight till the end!


Don't ever try to get me again.. I will rip your tail off...

Dear Lord,
Please help these animals.....

WOW! I am almost at a loss for words! (And, that never happens...trust me!!) I recently posted about the movement of God in my life and church! This morning God was moving in Bellevue!! We tore down a wall this morning! The faith that was released this morning is just the kind of faith that produces miracles! God is healing marriages, breaking wrong addictions, increasing finances and ready to give us DOUBLE! This is the Summer of Double for us!! It is ours to take and we are rising up and taking it! Words just cannot explain how powerful the movement was...and still is....
Today we moved mountains and giants out of lives that didn't belong! We released a sound that was so powerful...the enemy stands absolutely no chance in our territory...even the people that are in contact with us cannot and will not deny the anointment that we have upon our lives! It is about time that we stand our ground and take what is rightfully ours!! Praise God!!!!
The heavens are opening up and kissing earth where I'm at, where are you?

I recently had someone ask,"Why are you always reading your bible?". Before I could think about an answer, my mouth took off(Imagine that)!! I asked him why he puts gas in his truck. He looked at me and said," Well, I don't want to break down!!!". I said exactly...looking confused he said,"exactly what?". I told him that I didn't want to break down. The Word is fuel for the soul. Without it you will eventually break down. The unfortunate thing is that many people have to break down to see that the Word is a vital part of everyday life.
I was just blown away at what I had said!!! I couldn't believe what just came out of my mouth. I thought to myself, man that is good stuff!!
The Spirit led me to say just what was needed at the moment! And it feels good to stop your brain and let the Spirit guide you...man is it good!!!

Don't have a breakdown......Get in the Word!!!

Okay, so Chris and I have been attending Gateway Life Church (www.gatewaylife.cc) for almost a year! And, WOW, our life has change so much in a good way! And now, my parents attend and God is certainly moving in their lives!! God is amazing!!! My mom told me she feels high...that is peace...and when you have God, you have peace. I am just so excited about the movement going on in our lives as well as the church. Miracles are happening, people are being healed, marriages are being restored, finances are great...and people are finding peace in life because of God!! WOW!!!! If you want to feel the goodness of God in your life, you gotta check it out!! For more info., go to the website listed above!!

Blessing to all!!!!
