New Hope for Christmas

"My prayer, after more than 30 years of singing the gospel, has not changed. 'Lord, now that I have your love in my heart, teach me how to give it away'."

~ Larnelle Harris

What an amazing statement! On December 9-10th, I, along with around 100 other people will be singing with Larnelle Harris at our church. Every year our church does a Christmas program, usually a drama or musical, but, this year we decided to do something different. Larnelle, our choirs, and our orchastra is putting together a production entitled "New Hope for Christmas". I feel honored to be singing along side of a man that I grew up listening to and have admired for years.

If you would like more information about ordering tickets, visit our church website www.cefc.com . Please be in prayer for our weekend together with him and also the upcoming practices and rehearsals. Pray not that we would just learn our music and choreography, but that we would be effective witnesses to our audience and that Christ would be shown through us and the music.

Thanks everyone! And Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Happy November!

Here's a picture that my brother-in-law took of Amara. He and his wife have started a photography business and are wonderful! Feel free to visit their website and take a look at their talent!

It has been a busy week for us here. Last week Darius was gone on a day-business trip on Thursday and then it seemed like the weekend just flew by!

Darius has been busy raking leaves and trying to get ready for winter around our house. It will be interesting to see how our house holds up in the cold and ice. Since we just bought it in May, we haven't had a winter in it yet!

I've been pretty busy at work. I'm finally feeling like I understand fully all the aspects of my job. Little things have been coming up that I'm not sure about but, for the most part, I feel that I really understand what is going on. Hopefully, I'll still feel that way when the holiday rush starts up!

Amara has been a busy little terror. She's still loving school and all her friends. She's talking so clearly and in complete paragraphs, so, that has been fun to watch. She loves to sing and can sing many songs completely. I can't believe that she's getting so big!

That's about all that is going on with us -- Happy November!!!
