These are some of the lyrics.....
"Lose My Soul"
Man I wanna tell you all something, Man.
Man I'm not gonna let these material thing's, get in my way, you all.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
I'm trying to get somewhere,
Thats real and pure and true and eternal.
Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,
Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
The paparazzi flashes, and that they think that it's you,
But they don't know that who you are is not what you do,
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,
Yo before we part from the start,
Where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your title,
America has no more stars, now we call them idols,
You sit idle, While we teach prosperity,
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me.
We're free...
Not because of 22's on the range,
But Christ came in range, we said yes now we changed,
Not the same, even though I made a fall,
Since I got that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.
(YEP!)
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity.
(Lord what we gonna do,We're relying on you,
all eyes are on you Lord,
all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.)
Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
That fight for our love, and our passion,
As our eyes are open wide and on you.
Grant us the privilege of your world view,
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.
Bye Bye big booty Judy........I have a 24 Hour Fitness membership! BJ was able to sell his weight set and pay cash for our gym memberships. YIPEEEE!!!!! 
I'm officially a non-certified teacher! I am teaching 4 year olds at a local church in Spring. I am extremely excited. My co-teacher has been teaching pre-school for 10 years, so there should be lots of learning on my part too. I am looking forward to seeing the children grow and learn this year.
This little girl could have been my twin when I was her age. Big brown eyes and auburn hair. I can tell we are going to be best buds!
Wouldn't you know Country Girl has all the answers!!! She told me about this website for pre-schoolers and it is so cool. (you may all know about it, but I didn't) way fun!
It is a vtech, tote & go laptop......verdict is --- it is sooooo going back to Target. I can barely understand what you're supposed to do much less my 3 year old! It definately gets the thumbs down from me. It should have better verbal directions!!

A few weeks ago the church I grew up at had a "youth group" 10 year reunion. Wow! Am I that old!!!?? It makes my heart skip a beat remembering the old days. We had a wonderful youth pastor who implemented many great things to attract teens. I believe many teens in need of hearing God's Word (including me) did so because of this great ministry at Spring Memorial Baptist Church. I KNOW God used Donnie Anthony to draw me to the Lord. Donnie and our church were a huge part of me having a Bible base in my life. I think this is why I have such a heart for teens. There are so many kids with no hope because they don't know God. I thank God for the blessing Donnie and his family were/are to me. 
Their beautiful family. His wife, Trinetta, is hilarious. She is so cool. She is also a fabulous artist - very talented. His oldest son is in his second year of college. His middle son (the tallest) is going to try out for basketball (he's starting 9th grade). And last, but not least, his youngest loves doing mission work in China! Isn't that cool. Donnie was over missions at his church in San Antonio and has traveled to Sri Lanka, China, and other places. I love these guys!
Us entering the party :)
Donnie is such a talented man. He works with silver and one of his signatures was to make silver crosses for all the graduating seniors. What a great keep sake! The other thing he did for our group was have James Avery make charms to represent us. He had one left and made it into a ring. Isn't it cool!
This car was a rusty frame when I was a teen. Her name is Nadine. As a matter of fact BJ helped Donnie pick this car (frame) up from the "car lot" (??). Donnie completely restored it. There are many memories of this car.....it was in sermons, the kids helped with it, etc.
