More RKK Joy



Here are more pictures that Holly took during our recent Royal Kids of the Kingdom II musical. Hope you enjoy the pictures of some of the most wonderful kids on earth!


Left to right: Ian, Jocelyn, Destinee, Dino, and Jerry






Joyanna and Sade singing about going Down, Down, Down in Jesus' Name (A great song that tells about full immersion baptism in THE Name above all Names!)



Here are Nate and Denise singing (I don't remember which song this was, sorry!)






Aren't these two just adorable? Lil' Miss Alexus and Bro. Logan (this was a funny song because these two had to share a mic and kept "fighting" for control, HAHAHA)






The Choir section. Half of these children are from our Sunday School Bus Route. Isn't God awesome?!!




Here are two of the main characters. Destinee did a fantastic job memorizing an abundance of scriptures that teach about the plan of salvation! Dino, her little brother, was a riot playing the part of the school bully who comes to see the error of his ways.







Here are Nate and Ian. Both of these young men are VERY smart and talented!!








Mr. Zachary sang so sweetly (but manly!!) :)

Children of Praise Joys


Jessica singing "I'm Sorry" during the Royal Kids of the Kingdom II Musical on April 29, 2007.


Inland Lighthouse Church was blessed with a cute and funny performance from our Children of Praise. The kids worked hard on this play written by Sis. Kim Ballestero. They sang really well and all the kids did an awesome job!! They shared the 5 step plan of salvation with over 400 people on Sunday morning!!! I am slightly predjudice, I know, but Jessica did such an awesome job on her song about asking God for forgiveness! Oh, I don't have a picture of him yet, but my little guy, Justin, had a solo part as well! He did an incredible job telling about how God came down and became a child just like us. I was a very Holy Ghost proud mama!!!

In the audience was my bible study lady, Lillian, her daughter Kathleen and grandchildren Dustin and Destinee. They seemed to enjoy the service and stayed afterwards for our family day potluck and activities. I see them again in the morning and covet your prayers!

After the kids musical, Bro. Arlo Moelenpah spoke to us about creation and science, particularly about the dinosaurs and "pre-historic" man. It was awesome! I love learning more about how science works with the Bible!! He is coming again this week and then will take questions and return to answer them in two weeks!! I can't wait!!!!!!!



Isn't She Lovely? :)

Update:
My dear friend, Holly, also had a picture of my sweet lil' guy and she shared it with me. He is the one holding the mic. He did such a fantastic job!!! GO, Justin!!!

P.S. Holly's gorgeous older son, Ian, is in the aqua shirt and right behind him (on his right) is her other gorgeous kid, Zachary!! They both had speaking AND singing parts and did WONDERFUL!!! See, I can brag about other kids than my own. Even if mine were somewhat "better" LOL

Thank you, Holly for all the pics of my babies!!! Love ya!!!

Bible Study Joy!!!!!!

I gave my first solo Bible study on Tuesday morning of this week!!!!!!!!!! Through a survey that we, Inland Lighthouse Church, have been doing on Saturday outreach, we contacted a lady named Lillian. She was interested in a Bible study. So, I was asked if I could teach it. I wanted to say no, not because I am ashamed of my God but because I have never done this alone!!! I don't feel qualified to "instruct" someone about the Bible, primarily because I honestly have not studied it enough!!! But the Bible study coordinator prevailed and I scheduled the study.

Tuesday morning Marissa and I drove to Lytle Creek and met Lillian and her daughter, Kathleen. We had a nice time studying the Word and they even want me to come again next week!!!

Please pray that I find time to immerse myself MORE in the Word and that I can study to show myself approved!! I have to admit it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!! I didn't fumble and stutter but we were studying about something I have been learning about since my first toddler class, the creation and the first man's sin. :)
