You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

oh my, I'm a proud mama

I just got these clips tonight-from my dear friend Melanie. Melanie is one of the people God used to get me interested in Haiti. She went with a team from Parkway in October of 2007. I happened to talk with her shortly after she returned, and became instantly intrigued by her heartfelt stories and all that she experienced.

When the next opportunity to go came up-I called Melanie to see if she was going-and she was planning to attend. This made me feel comfortable enough to make plans to go. God had other plans, and Melanie did not make this trip, but I went anyway, and now you know the rest of the story....

This above video is Steeve, singing one of my favorite songs: "What a Mighty God We Serve"

He's grown/changed quite a lot from when this clip was taken....it is so adorable!!!

Melanie-thank you for being obedient to God and going on your own mission trip and then sharing it with me! I will be forever grateful-and cannot wait til your special friend, Steeve comes to Arizona!! Won't he be thrilled to know you are near by and a member of our church family.

God is great!
