The Greatest Man Ever (JOHNNIE)




It is almost fathers day and i just want to say I am so thankful for the man that God has placed in my life and over my home. I have watched him grow and experience God and gain wisdom daily and i am just amazed at how wise he really is. Does he know everything NO does he need me YES :) But I need him to and i know that he does have much wisdom. He has been my strength the last month and i am so grateful to have him in my life. We went to Chicago to lead worship for the first time ever and our intentions were to bring Jesus with us and to only be used by him. I was so honored to serve alongside him. He is an untapped resource of worship and knowledge few people really understand Him. But i know that he will be used by God and has the ability to touch lives some will never waste their time on. He will be the one that gives the quarter back on the bus, because he knows the importance of one of God's children. I am so blessed to call him my husband and the father of my children. God has grown us together and i would not have had it any other way. We have fought, loved, cried and cared more deeply over the past ten years. But god has molded us into a very dangerous couple. Watch out Satan you can't have anyone we come in contact with. The Jesus in Johnnie and Debbie will kick your butt!!!!! So to end this i want to say I LOVE YOU BABE you are the most amazing husband, father and friend. I am so glad God gave me you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chicago was Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Chicago was so awesome!!!! We landed Thursday at about one thirty and we didn't stop until Saturday at two thirty in the morning. We were all exhausted but i would not have traded the experience for anything in the world. Thursday we hung out with Craig and Tara and the girls ate some pizza and just chilled. Friday morning we rode the bus all by our self:) to downtown and did some walking and site seeing it was pretty amazing i am not sure the big city life is for me all that walking and all that traffic :) Wow it is crazy but beautiful. We got to the hotel at about two thirty and my mom met us there we set up the sound and it got really busy from there we practiced and then at seven we did our first ever leading by our self. It was amazing something we thought we weren't at all ready for God so went before us and paved a road that was smooth as can be. The first session ended up going for quite a long time. The power of god fell and peoples lives were changed they flowed in the prophetic and God just really moved. It was so a rewarding and humbling experience. God is truly awesome and he does take care of us.... Friday night we ended our last part at about twelve thirty went to our room ate some Giordano's and tried to catch some Zzz..... Woke up before eight to start our day all over. The morning sessions were great all the speakers did an awesome job. Especially Tara she was amazing and we ending the day in worship and prophetic. Breaking (literally with hammering cement blocks) things off of our life that needed to be broken. It was incredible. The time went by way to fast and i so enjoyed hanging with the Sloan's. I missed them so much, didn't really realize how much i missed them until i was with them. The five girls are amazing and each one different and sweet as can be. Chicago has definitely captured my heart with my precious family there. Thank you God for the wonderful opportunity and the provision you made for us to be able to attend. Thanks to the wonderful encounter team who did such an incredible job of putting the whole thing together. Hats off to all of you. You are awesome men and women of God.

Chicago Here we come!!!!!

We have been given the great opportunity of ministering with Pastors Craig and Tara Sloan in Chicago this weekend. I am so excited to get to see them and the girls and i also am excited to see the doors that God is opening for us. One question has been racing through my mind all day. Are we ready???? When are we ever really ready or do we just put one foot in front of the other and jump in head first. I do know that God has opened this door and he will give us what we need to fulfill this opportunity giving him all the glory and honor and praise. Our only job is to worship him and allow his anointing to flow through us. It is not about our gifts it is about him and i am so blessed and honored that he chose us for such a time as this. His wonders never cease to amaze me. He loves us :)

Happy Mothers Day !!!!


Wow I have been a mother for ten + years. It is incredible to me how quickly they grow. I blinked and my son was in fourth grade and my daughter in third. I remember being a teenager and thinking about having kids. All the goals and dreams i had hoped for them and still do. Some they have far exceeded than what i would have ever hoped or dreamed. My Mom was here this week, man i miss her. She is my very best friend she has a wisdom and an integrity that i can only hope and pray i possess some day. God has truly blessed me with her. Saturday i went to a mother daughter banquet and the speakers talked about a language between a mother and a daughter that god ordained called biblical womanhood. My highest calling is to teach my children about god and his love for them. If you have never been a mom it is an unconditional love that comes from the minute you know they are there. This ability to love something so completely no matter what it does to you can only come from god. The love he has for us is the same. That blows my mind he loves me. Me, the messed up girl who can't ever seem to get it right, but gets up every time and tries again. The one who screws up pretty much every decision she makes and doesn't have a very good self esteem. The girl who usually is harder on herself than anyone ever could be. The girl who works twelve hours a day to take care of other peoples kids sometimes at the expense of her own. The girl who can barely keep her house clean or make ends meet most of the time. God loves me...... isn't that refreshing. I am so humbled to think that if it was only for me he still would have done it. He loves me with the same love i love as a mother. Today we celebrate mothers every where and i can't help but thank God today for mine and for allowing me to be one. He trusted me to shape two young lives into pure vessels to be used by him. Wow he is good ;) !!!!!
