Class Participation (Blog Music)

Good Morning :)

Most of you know I like to sing, wether I'm good at it or not. lol Music has always been a big part of my life. More importantly, music was created to worship God. With that being said, what's wrong with the music gadget app on my blog? Seems like every couple months it stops working! The other day I was updating (Yes, I really was updating) and noticed something was wrong...I did not hear the Resilience Theme song. Lol "That's what faith can do". Well the gadget crashed. No big surprise, I knew it was coming. I guess I have to keep finding a new one every month or so. I have not found anything thus far, so...My only solution is this. When you open up the blog, matter of fact while your reading this, sing the song out loud!! Lol You know the lyrics! Don't let blogger.com's useless gadgets bring you down :) ha. Tap a pen or finger to make sure you stay on beat. haha below you will find the lyrics.

"What Faith Can Do" -Kutless

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think its more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That's what faith can do)
When the world says you can't
It'll tell you that you can!

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Have a good day! :)

PCC!! Pics all the good stuff!

Good Morning!

I am so blessed to have been able to attend this years Camp Meeting in Ventura, CA. One of my fav. quotes that relates, "A joy shared is doubled". My brothers were able to attend the camp as well so this joy was tripled! lol Even tho anybody who went can testify, these types of camps cost a lot of money to put together. Registration for these events be very expensive for campers. With that said, it was neat to hear stories from many of my friends on how they found ways to raise the money. Some Traveled as far as North Carolina and even Georgia. Bro. Alvear put it best one night when he spoke. He told of how his son really wanted to make it to the camp. His youth worked really hard to attend as a group and also raised money for the Pastor and his wife to travel with them. Bro. Alvear was reminded that his son wasn't asking for a concert ticket, or sporting event seats but rather asking for more of God. We really could not put a price on such a special camp! The preaching was phenomenal. Elder Lambeth spoke in the morning and Elder Kerr in the evening. I was truly blessed and recommitted. Yes, it cost me a bit but I am FOREVER grateful. I have memories that will last a lifetime. As Bro. Lambeth stressed, we've got to go DEEPER. That is my prayer and to preserve my walk with God. As we all should strife to do. One day at a time.

Annnnnnndddd now....PICTURES!
