We were callled to be witnesses; not judges and prosecuters!

About Me


Sam and I were married on New Years Eve 2007. We both love the Lord with all of our hearts and love each other so much. We are thankful that God brought us together and with all that we have in us, give our lives to Him to be used as He sees fit. Sam and I were both raised in Church, but neither truly surrendered our lives until I did in 1998 and Sam just recently rededicated his life in 2007. Sam has a daughter named Miranda who is a beautiful creation and gift from God. I am now a proud step mom to her! :) We both attend Agape Family Worship, where Pastor Mark and Jamie McVey minister. They truly have the hearts of Pastors and love God and people with all thier heart.
We both love listening to the Word, when it is heartfelt and sincere. We are both frustrated with what Church has turned God into and how separated the body of Christ is. The Lord addressed seven different churches in the Bible and all of them had faults. Today I wonder how many different "types" of churches He would address and how many faults they would have. But first and foremost the biggest fault is that our sanctuaries are "Our Sanctuaries". God wants a "Dream Team", if you want to read a great book grab a hold of Tommy Tenneys book titled "God's Dream Team". Jesus had one prayer that was never answered and I can give you my word that when He returns He will only come back for those who desired the same thing......for us to come together as one in unity for one purpose....to share of the reconciliation power of the cross. We don't have to share all the same beliefs and our time should not be spent debating our differences, but our time should be spent sharing the cross. Pastors today lose focus why they are where they are, it's not about them, it's about Him and if you are a Pastor and you don't communicate and function in outreach with other Pastors, cause you only want people coming to your church, you need to check yourself. The only competition you have with souls is the devil, not another Pastor.
Pray for Our Nation and our leaders not to sell out on God to please man.
Praise God!!!
Watch This and you will know where we stand!

My Interests

TO BE ALMOST SAVED STILL MEANS YOU ARE COMPLETELY LOST. THE ONLY SAFE PLACE TO BE LOST IS IN THE LOVE OF GOD.

"Ideologies lead to debates, conflicts, violence and often war, but faith leads to obedience, humility, faithfulness, and finally peace. Ideologies breed death, faith brings forth life." – Henri J. M . Nouwen

Open the Flood Gates of Heaven and pour out a refreshing rain Oh God!

We are striving to walk in the perfect Will of God~ I pray our hearts desires line up with His plans~ so that we go where He leads and that He isn't just following where He allows us to go.

I love singing as well as writing and reading anything about the Lord. Sam loves to be "creative" painting, sculpting or sitting down with a good game on X-Box and blowing something up. We both love spending time with each other and with friends and family. We both enjoy working out and drinking smoothies! :) Unfortunately we also both love eating Auntie Anne's Pretzels. :)
Both of us have a desire to help those who are less fortunate and we want to be used as a tool from God to shed some light of hope in thier lives.

When will the church of America stop trying to sell what God gave us for free???? STOP PROSTITUTING THE GOSPEL!!!!

I'd like to meet:

Sam and I love to meet people who have a sense of humor, know how to smile through it all and have a heart for God. We love to be around people who love to laugh. Laughter is truly the best medicine and when you can smile through the tears, through the sorrow, and through the pain you have heaped hot coals of fire on the devils head and you are dancing on them. We would be honored to be your friend, if you have a desire to be ours.
I have had the blessed opportunity over the last year to meet Apologetix, Ilia, Jentezen Franklin, Tommy Tenney, and Jason Upton. It was truly a blessing to be able to meet all of them. God always seems to direct our footsteps introducing us to new friendships, those of which we will cherish and hold onto as long as He sees fit.

Watch the video below! It is definitely one of the best sermons I have ever heard in my life!

Music:

We love listening to all kinds of Christian music from selective southern gospel to Holy Hip to Hard rock. I don't like the "angry sounding" rock but I love stuff like Kutless, Skillet etc. Some of my favorite singers are Jason Upton(first and foremost), Ross Parsley (No relation to Rod), Kutless, Jeremy Camp, Deitrick Haddon,ApologetiX, Norman Hutchins, CeCe Winans, Mercy Me, Mark Schultz, Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns and many more. Anything that glorifies the Lord I probably like it! We also like listening to big bands and jazz.

Movies:

We mainly watch comedies and action movies. However we sometimes like dramatic flicks too. We are not into much of the chick flick movies and we love animated movies! Some of our favorite movies are
1. The Passion of the Christ
2. See spot run
3. Hoodwinked
4.Over the Hedge
5. Gladiator
6. Braveheart
7. One night with the King
8.The Notebook
9. Patch Adams
10. Thou Shalt Laugh
11. Anything pretty much with Tommy Lee Jones, Mel Gibson, Angelina Jolie, Samuel Jackson or Denzel Washington is usually fair game!
We love anything Jackie Chan is in he is the bomb diggity!

Absolutely loved his new one with Jet Li The Forbidden Kingdom.
Any movies with "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson in them. We love him too!

We would love to see Jackie Chan and the Rock make a movie together that would be awesome! They are our two favorities by a mile!

Television:

American Idol which I think gives those a chance to be heard who get overlooked through the entertainment industry. They also help millions in need each year with Idol gives back. It's amazing to see the awesome things that God is doing today!

, All my children, Scrubs, The Office, Jentezen Franklin, Ed Young Jr., Ramsey's kitchen nigtmare, Chef Ramsey's kitchen, The O'reilly Factor, Hannity and Combs.

Books:

Favorite Authors; Jentezen Franklin, Tommy Tenney, Derek Prince, Perry Stone, Gregory Dickow, Hank Hanegraaff (even though he is controversial and goes against the flow he has a lot of very concrete points, Billy Graham, Rick Joyner. Really any good spiritual books and of course the One and Only BIBLE!

Heroes:

Anyone who stands upon the cornerstone of the faith which is in Christ Jesus and the love that He displayed for all to receive.
The Lord Jesus Christ Comes!

Resurrection of the righteous through the power of the Holy Spirit Himself through all who are willing to walk in His truth. Being molded and redefined by the fire and power of God.
