God is Great

God is great
God is good
Let us thank Him for our food
By His hands were are fed
Let us thank Him for our bread
In Jesus' Name amen

Today began early. My alarm sounded at 5 AM. It was time to jump to my feet, dress and head to MD Anderson Cancer Hospital to be with my only uncle left on my dad's side of the family. My Dad passed away with cancer many years ago. Then a few years ago one of Dad's two brother's, Bobby, passed away with cancer. Now for more than a year Dad's only living brother, Charles, has battled cancer. Today he had a second surgery removing 3 malignant tumors. Though circumstances weren't the best I did enjoy spending time with my relatives today. Although Dad passed away in 1981 I have honestly endeavored to maintain relationships with his side of the family. I love my family. My Mom and Stepdad took me to the hospital today. My cousins were thankful that "Uncle Carl" showed up just before their dad went into surgery. Of course "Uncle Carl" really isn't kin...he's my stepdad. God is great and kept his hand on Uncle Charles. Things could have been so much worse. Please keep him in your prayers.

I was so excited yesterday that I had a difficult time going to sleep last night. CUPC had a MOST awesome day. Both services our auditorium was filled with people. It will not be long until we have to set out chairs to accomodate the crowd. A friend from many years ago was in both services yesterday. I love Kim Ray. Well not Ray any longer but she will always be Kim Ray! lol Trent did an outstanding job last night. He is really developing into quite a preacher. I really prayed yesterday that Trent would be anointed like never before. We could definitely feel God in his message. At the close we had a couple of baptisms and one person received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the baptistry! Of course our church is in a state of revival but I know the end results made Trent thankful! God really is great!


Today I had to run into a store to make a return. I couldn't resist looking at the shoe department. I found a pair of shoes on clearance that looked like Calah. I took a picture and texted it to her. She LOVED them! Tonight Kent, Mom, and I took the shoes to Calah. They are so Calah!!! I love finding bargains for my kids. God is great!!!
While we were at the kid's home my 2 year old niece called my Mom. Mom asked Kyleigh if she learned anything at school today. She said she did and began reciting the prayer, God is Great. Mom put her on speaker phone and asked her to repeat the prayer. Kyleigh did so very loud and clear. Kyleigh, God really is GREAT thanks for the reminder!!!

Sunday WAS incredible! What a great big God we serve! I still find it amazing at how God works. I stand in awe of Him. Sunday night was awesome - Bro. Trent did a superb job of putting himself aside and allowing God to use him! He most definitely has the annointing of God in his life. God is a healer of ALL things - spiritual, physical and emotional. He can and WILL meet our every need! Yes, God IS GREAT! I love you, Sis. Smith! ~Sis. Weldon

I haven't heard anything about Kim Ray in ages.....she was in the youth group at AT when I was there. It is good to hear about those "kids" and remember great times with them. And, I love to read your revival news and how your kids are developing their ministries...how God is using them. As for the shoes....well, they are cool! Love you, Susy
