Testimony Time 8/18/25

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for choosing to spend a moment of your day with us! As I write this post, it is late Sunday night. My heart is bubbling with praise, joy, and appreciation for our mighty God!

He blessed us with wonderful services this weekend at DRPC. The services were an excellent way to kick off. Campmeeting week.

The presence of God was so rich in the place last night! I was humbled to feel God so near to me!  Our pastor preached a masterpiece last night. 

It built my faith! I did not walk away from the altar last night, but I sure tried! I am one giant step closer to my miracle!

As my Daddy taught me, I am going to believe that I will walk today! If this is not the day that God chooses to heal me, I will praise Him anyway!

Campmeeting at DRPC starts Tuesday night at 7. I am believing for a week full of miracles! I know I will not be the only one attending who needs God to move in their life! I hope and pray it is a life-changing week for many, many people!

Today, I thank God in advance for the things we will see done this week! I cannot wait to tell you more about them as they happen! 

God is amazing and we are blessed to be able to come before Him. The Lord told us to ask for the things that we need! I have asked a lot of God! I asked him to do impossible things with men. My Daddy always loved to quote Bro. Bill Houston by saying, “No thing is impossible with God!”

I praise Him with all of my heart! I can say, without a shadow of doubt, I believe that He shall do miracles! Amen!!

A Week Seeing Friends At DRPC

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Tonight, we are off to Hillsboro for a birthday party. The rest of the weekend is shaping up to be full of activities.

I am here today to tell you a little bit about our week. It has been busy but great!

On Tuesday night at church, it was wonderful to see Bro. Levi and Sis. Taylor Webb Hackworth are a wonderful young couple! It was so good to see them!

Thursday night we were excited to be in service with Bro. David and Sis. Karen Noe! They have been dear friends to our family for most of my life! 

They have honestly been more family to us than friends over the years! We have laughed together, we have cried together, we have worship together and more of the same! The Noe family have always been in our corner! we love them so much!

Bro. David was one of Dad's personal encouragers!  Bro. David has had his own health struggles and recent years! We all prayed for our dear friend! I can say Dad honestly prayed earnestly that our friend would get a kidney. He rejoiced so much when that prayer was answered! Bro. David got a good report on his new kidney this week!

Watching Bro. David Noe preach last night, I could not help but think of my Daddy! He would have been thrilled to see a miracle in action! Bro. David was preaching under the one of God! It was incredible to see!

We had one more big surprise last night! We had Oklahoma visitors at DRPC. Bro. Denny and Sis. Nancy Haddox stopped by. It was great to have our Claremore friends and church with us!

There you have just a peek into our week at our church. 

Wednesday night we visited at church here locally. I will tell you more about that tomorrow!

Richton Mississippi Tent Revival 2025 Details

 Hey Friends,

Mom and I have been anxiously waiting to make this announcement. We will be participating in a tent revival next month in Richton, Mississippi!

A 2025 tent revival has been in the planning stages for months. We were waiting to get the details in place. Everything is scheduled, and we are praying for a mighty move of God.

Pastor Scott Morris and Richton First Assembly are hosting a tent revival again this year! They have been having tent revivals for a long time. Our family has been blessed to be part of them for many years! 

Richton tent revival was a highlight of our year! Souls were saved, lives changed, bodies and minds healed! The power of God has been marvelous during passed tent revivals!

I know we cannot live in the past, but I thank God for precious memories! Dad was happiest preaching under the tent. He had a God given anointing to reach for a hurting soul!

Dad wanted the Gospel Tent to be passed on to Pastor Scott Morris and First Assembly. We carried out his wishes earlier this summer. The gospel message goes on!

Pastor Scott Morris wanted to honor Dad’s life and legacy this year. Each night the guest will be people that were important to Dad. 

The dates for 2025 tent revival will be Monday-Friday,September 15-19. The revival will take place at Richton Recreation Park. Highway 15S Richton, Ms 39476. Services will be held nightly at 7:15. 

Monday: Pastor Tim Cauley

Forts Lake Assembly Moss Point, Mississippi

Thursday: Pastor Kenny Morris

We are thrilled to be part of this special meeting. Some of our family will be on hand that week. We would love to have more friends there too!

For more information about the revival, you can contact Pastor Scott Morris at (601)788-4843.

Here is some out of town travel info. Hotels are available in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. If you may be flying to revival, Mobile, Alabama, Gulfport, Mississippi, Jackson, Mississippi, or Pensacola, Florida are airports that you could check.  The closest airport would be Pine Belt  in Laurel/Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It is a great airport to fly in and out of, but it is super small. I know flights coming in and out of there are very limited!

As I said, we would love to see you there! Please be in prayer with us for a wonderful, move of God in each and every service! I cannot think of a better way for Dad’s memory to be honored, than for God to give us a wonderful revival! We are also praying for good weather!

Thank you for reading! Save these dates in your calendar! Please help us spread the word about this exciting revival!

Pray For Others

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for spending a moment of your Saturday with me! You make my day by being here!

First, I want to share the beautiful scene I was blessed to see from my side porch last evening. The handiwork of God‘s paintbrush never ceases to amaze me! This was at the end of a beautiful sunset!

Today, my heart is burdened for others. Lately my friends have been suffering. Several family and friends have suffered the loss of of loved ones! Some were expected, but some were not! My heart aches and grieves for all of them.

More of our precious friends are facing the loss in the coming days! I wish I could be there to give them a big hug!

Also, we know many people who are facing serious health battles. They need a miracle desperately!

Then the list of loved ones that need salvation is long! They all need a moment of clear thinking. Then I pray they call upon God during the moment of clarity!

I feel helpless at encouraging those in need. I am at a loss for words! I can not answer their questions. I can not take their pain or heal them!

Mom and I know firsthand the importance of prayer! While you are going through a hard times, you really can feel the prayers from God's people! 

Prayer genuinely does matter! It is the most important thing that you can do for someone else! everybody could use a little more prayer!

I have been trying hard the last couple days to focus on praying for others! Really that is the most important thing we can do for anyone in their time of need!

God can do all things! I still believe He is a miracle worker! I know He holds your hand through grief and heartache!

Please join me in praying for all those who need help from God today! There are probably many more that I am not even thinking of at this moment. I know there are needs you know of that I am not even aware of. We can rest in this fact, God knows all the needs, and He has power to move exactly how it needs to be done!

See you tomorrow.

Testimony And A Reminder

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for reading today. I am here to praise God!

Yesterday afternoon, my Mamaw Martha was released from the hospital! She is home, resting and regaining her strength. 

 

Our family collectively is so thankful for God’s help! His goodness is still amazing! We are grateful that Mamaw is doing much better! 

I have had a great week physically. Monday, I wrote about the extra special touch the Lord blessed me with on Sunday evening! 

I have felt God's sweet presence near me all week. I have basked in His help. My strength has been better than it has been in a while!

I thank God for every ounce of extra strength! I praise God for each little victory. I am closer to my miracle than I was yesterday!

Last week, I told you about Voices From the Valley on YouTube. Several, let me know that they enjoyed last week's episode. I just wanted to remind you one more time about this great devotional each week.

BHC released Pastor Brent Gabbard’s second episode yesterday. Check it out here.  I know you will be blessed! Mom and I enjoyed it immensely. 

He is in the book of Philippians right now. Its a powerful book! Bro. Brent is bringing us the word so eloquently!

I will close for now.

2025 Mother’s Day Weekend Recap

 Hey Friends,

I am so glad you stopped by to visit with us. I hope your week is going well!

Here is a quick update on my Mamaw. Mom and I spent some time with them at the hospital yesterday afternoon. She was still very weak, but improving!

The doctor was pleased with her progress and her numbers. The plan was for her to go home sometime today!

She wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers and concern for her. Thank God for answering our prayers!

I have some photos from our weekend to share with you. On Saturday, we spent time with my Uncle Danny Morgan and his family, Gran and Papaw. We had a great day with them!

The weather was perfect for a zoo day, so we visited the Columbus, Ohio, zoo. It was extremely crowded! 

We were thrilled to spend the day enjoying sunshine and family. Although I only captured a handful of pictures, countless memories were made! This was little Kolby’s first zoo trip.

Sunday afternoon we also had more Morgan family time. Mom and I decided to surprise everyone and show up for the Mother's Day family dinner. 

With two services at our church on Sunday, my mom being in the hospital And my mom's parents live an hour and a half away, I did not know if we could pull it off. The day was jampacked full, but I am so glad that we were able to be with my grandmother for a little while on Mother's Day.

Saturday and Sunday both we did spend some time with my Boggs Grandparents! I did not take any pictures of my Mamaw since she was in the hospital. Sick or not, she is still beautiful! 

Here is a picture from a few weeks ago! I love both Mamaw and Papaw dearly!

We will wrap it up with a few pictures that I snapped during church on Sunday. We are blessed to be part of DRPC!

See you all tomorrow!

Mamaw Update And Monday Meditation

 Hey Friends,

Mamaw Update

Thank you for praying for my sweet Mamaw, and thank the Lord for helping her! We went to see her yesterday afternoon. At that point, she was still in Afib. Mamaw did not want to have her heart shocked this morning.

Not long after we left the hospital, we received an update. Then her heart rate was back to normal and staying there!

Praise the Lord! I  am so thankful for some good news! We are continuing to pray for a complete recovery. 

I want God to give her supernatural strength, which only comes from Him! Just being 80 years old does not disqualify her from a miracle! Nothing is impossible with God!

Monday Meditation

Our pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland preached a masterpiece last night. It was on faith and believing in miracles. I wish all of you had been there to hear it in person! There is no way that I can describe the wonderful message to you here today. 

I will tell you this: The Lord met me powerfully last night! My heart is overflowing! I may not be walking yet, but I expect it to happen anytime!

I am beyond grateful that the Lord blessed me so mightily. The visitation of His spirit is a precious thing. He renewed my faith and encouraged my soul!

I have one little nugget to leave you with. I will be meditating on this for days! This was too good to wait for Sunday Sanity!

“If I believe Him, I have NOTHING to lose! But if I don't believe Him, I have EVERYTHING to lose!”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland

5/11/25 DRPC Moraine, Ohio

Today I choose anew to believe! Here my heart’s cry!  “Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief!” Let today be the day! I am praising you God in advance! You deserve ALL the glory and the honor!

Thank you, friends, for reading! I will see you all tomorrow.

Thank God For Helping Carson

 Hey Friends,

I hope you're having a great Friday! Thank you for choosing to spend a moment of your day with us. I am typing this early Friday morning as I head to bed.

We had a good service at church last night. Then we decided to fellowship with some friends! I am so thankful for the wonderful church family that we have! The fellowship was much needed and did my soul good!

I am choosing to make this a quick post. Thank you all so much for praying for my little cousin Carson! The Lord heard and answered their prayers. Now he is doing well!

Saturday afternoon, he was released from the hospital. Here is a picture of the Deidre sent our family. She said this is the look that was on his face when she told him he was getting to go home.

As you can see Chloe Jean is happy to have her baby brother home! I thought this this was an adorable picture.

Thank you again for reading! We appreciate all of your prayers and concern for us and our family members!

See you next time!

Thankful For A Safe Place

 Hey Friends,

Bad weather has been plaguing our land. As I type, we are watching for more storms. We have been praying for many of our friends who have been in the path of the storms! Our county in Ohio is under a tornado watch for several hours over Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

I have been extremely thankful for my 

Daddy’s foresight. When he designed my home, he made my master closet a safe room. It has a concrete ceiling and block walls, so when storms come, I have a safe place to go!

We are prepared to run in there during this bout of storms if needed. We took shelter in the safe room Sunday night. A tornado came through our area. The Lord protected us, and I am so grateful! We did have a dead tree fall behind the barn, but it just laid over!

I have been thinking a lot about the safe place we can run to as a Christians. I remember the scripture that Dad wrote on the walls of my safe room while we are building the house.

These verses have brought comfort to my heart many times. I thought I would share them with you today, I hope they comfort to your heart!

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91‬:‭1-2‬ ‭

Thank you for reading! I will see you tomorrow!
