Another Death

I just received a call; another one of my cousins died this morning. I will post more later.

Please keep the Luman family in your prayers. This makes the fourth Luman to die this year.

I don't know what God is doing but I do know that "..... all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

This Year So Far

It has taken me a while to be able to make this post.

January 1st I felt like this year was going to be a break through year for myself and my family. Be careful what you pray for. LOL

January 8th my cousin Ronnie Luman aka Lil Ronnie died. He was my age and we played together every year at our family reunion. I have a lot of memories of us as children. Going to his funeral was very hard. When someone is your age and they die it hits close to home.

February 5th my Granddaddy, Charlie Luman, died. He was my last living grandparent. He touched a lot of people's lives. I did not know this but he is the reason my cousin Roger Dale is a UPC minister today. The Lord was so good to me; I had just made the trip down there for my cousin's funeral so money was tight and all three of our cars were broken; he blessed us with enough money to rent a car and make the trip.


A BLESSING IN THE STORM
March 2nd Kevin got the Holy Ghost!!!!

March 3rd my dad had a heart attack they revived him and put him on life support. We got to stay with him for a week in ICU. The Lord really blessed us.

March 10 they took my dad off life support and a few hours later my daddy, Robert Luman died.


April 15 Nathan turned 4yrs old. WOW how time goes by.

My babies are growing up.



This year so far has been the hardest physically and emotionally but it has also been by far the BEST SPIRITUALLY. They say that during the trials that God is molding you and I truely believe that. God has blessed me this year far more than I could have imagined, and it is just the BEGINNING. There may be more trials but I feel and electicity going through the air and I am excited. Yes, I still have days where I think about my dad a lot and it makes me sad but the Lord said I will send you a comforter and he has. God has been so very good to me and my family.

Happy Valentines Day

I am so glad that I get to spend my life with you.

You are a wonderful husband and daddy.

I love you!!

The Flu

I took Nathan to the Dr today and he tested positive for the flu. The Dr said that are whole family would probably get it so we are doing everyone a favor and quarantining ourselves. This weekend is going to be loads of fun! LOL!!!

Respect

Full disclosure: I don't like secular christian music. I only listen to Holy Ghost filled musicians. I have been this way for many years. Now I can go on with a clear conscience.

I heard a song the other day. It was a secular christian song. The words was something like this.
I want to lay back against you with your arms around me. I want to hear your heart beat and feel you breath.

JESUS IS NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happen to respect. We should bow down before him. Worship him. I think that there is something wrong with thinking that we can be so familiar with God.

This song sounds like something that would be in a love song, not something that you would say to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Anyways that is enough ranting. LOL

Just to end on a good note. Someone was baptized at church tonight and I just heard my 2 and 3 yr old playing like they were baptizing each other. I have to admit I am very proud right now. Actually I am crying! LOL The scripture is so true; I have no greater joy than to know that my children walk in truth.

Do you Doubt?

I was reading my children the story of when Jesus fed the five thousand the other night and I got to thinking. What would I do if I was told to take the baskets and pass out the food? Would I only give each person a little in hopes that maybe everyone could get something or would I give everyone enough to be full because I trusted what Jesus said? Would I doubt or believe?

What do we do with our friends and family? Do we only tell them a little bit because somewhere we kind of wonder if God will really do what he says? Can God really change their lives, heal there bodies and save there souls or will he fail them and then we look foolish?

Maybe it is a pride thing. I am sure those men didn't want to look foolish and get half way through the crowd and have nothing left. Maybe they were scared that there would be a mob if everyone didn't get fed. There were probably a lot of emotions involved. Inspite of their worries they did as Jesus asked and they witnessed a miracle that day.

In spite of our worries we should do as God asks not only with our friends and family but with our lives as well and maybe 2008 can be a (as Sis Elms said on her blog) "break through" year. Full of miracles. I WANT TO SEE MIRACLES!!!!!!!

The Power of Holy Ghost Music

This morning we got up and everyone was grouchy. No one had slept well and was a little short. So I turned on My Hope Radio (a pentencostal radio site www.myhoperadio.com) It didn't take long and people were laughing and telling stories. That is the power of the Holy Ghost and good Godly music.
