Yaaaaaaaaaaay …MUCH THANKS go out to those of you who have been fervently praying for my heath this past month and and a half. I have had virus on top of virus on top of virus, with laryngitis thrown in there to boot! That certainly doesn’t make a happy momma-to-be, obviously, but also slows things down on the work front too, which has been frustrating, to say the least. Thankfully, being sick is coming to an end, and I was able to sing my way through a multiple hour rehearsal last night. What joy it brought to my heart! God’s healing yours truly and being a part of the worship team again after a short hiatus was like icing on my cake last night. We are prepping for an all worship event held at Cornerstone Ministries at 6pm on Sunday, February 21st …if you’re free and would like to come out. Anyway, amidst my joy, I snapped a few pics on the cell phone at rehearsal last night. Click here if you’d like to meet my friends and fellow worshipping folks for this weekend’s ONE event …and catch the humor of this great group too! And thanks again for your prayers; I couldn’t do this without you!

I find Valentine’s Day a wonderful reason to say and extra special ’Thank you’ to all of you who support this ministry with your amazing love, care, prayers and financial gifts. It’s because of you that God’s done so much to help the hurting around us …I treasure you and your love.  Have a blessed day and, this Valentine’s Day, please take time to soak in how much you are loved.

I’m sure if you’re at all in tune with the Superbowl, you’ve heard of this guy. Tim is a quarterback making a profound difference on the platform of the importance of life. Since so much of this ministry God’s placed me in deals with helping those who are hurting from their past, and having abortions is one of those pains of the past which I’ve seen women struggle with carried into their present, I wanted to share this video with you. Tim’s parents were missionaries in the Philippines and share in this video the significance of Tim’s life …how he’s a preacher, even as a quarterback!

Dear friend reading this post …would you please pray for Rick and Melody Kaiser? Rick and Melody are dear friends and supporters of this music ministry, but they really need some extra love, support and prayers right now. Melody’s grandfather just passed away, she’s been diagnosed (again …she’s had many bouts) with cancer, and they were just in a car totaling accident today, Rick sustaining some kind of neck injury. I know you most likely don’t know them, but could you please call unto God on their behalf? They have been and are going through so much that one person shouldn’t even have to remotely encounter. Thank you so much, friends. You can find Rick on Facebook, or feel free to leave any messages here for he and Melody and I’ll be sure to pass them along.

For those of you who have been dying to hear an update on Baby Deans, we are doing well and decided to take a pic for you today in the gorgeous snow just outside our home. (Who would have thought we’d be slammed with so much snow overnight?!!)  Our sweet little baby girl is due the end of May, and we are very excited, to say the least.  She’s quite the mover inside me and we certainly can’t wait to meet her face to face and learn how God’s uniquely equipped and crafted her.  God’s been teaching us a lot in this amazing process …and I know that teaching has only begun!  I’m so thankful for an amazing husband who not only loves the Lord but is determined to lead our home in a godly way, being the best husband and daddy possible.  We are working hard each day as God shows us what’s next especially in how to manage home life and ministry in a healthy balance.  I’m continuing to press on in worship leading and my songwriting with the record label, focusing especially on recording my two upcoming singles …yes, they’ll be here in the months to come, folks; and some special ministry product too. Thanks for all your love, care and prayers in this season of our lives.  We treasure you!
