Well lets see...
This afternoon Matthew, and I are going to be working on our VLB Banner for the assembly.
And I'm going to finish up my packing...
Well looks like we won't be leaving until like 2 am wednesday morning. bummer...=\.
Because unless the Lord blesses us with about a hundred more dollars.... thats when we will leave.
We don't usually go to the Pre Assembly Rally anyways... but we will miss Tuesday... Which will be weird... I guess.
But thats the day you sign up to help for childrens assembly... =( I hope I don't miss the chance to badly.

You guys... I for now on will never enter any car without a cell phone...
I was just gonna go sit wiht the door open in the 91' mustang that belonged to my brother...
Well the right door is locked and can't be unlocked... and its electric windows soooo ... and the battery is dead and I had no keys with me... Matthew Climbed in with me. I was in the drivers seat... Well the left door if you close it it can only be opened from the outside! I forgot about that! So there are these hornets inside the driver side mirror... and two try and come in so I shut the door.. WHITHOUT THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!! and so its around 90o outside... and me and my brother are locked inside this car... Mom and dad are inside talking.
I don't realize that we can't get out yet.. we are just sitting there watching these hornets go into the mirror... and i was like okay ther are in on the count of three I will open the door and we will run out! 1...2...3... click.. click... UHHHH MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!! THIS STUPID DOOR ONLY OPENS FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!!!!!! uhhhh yeah.. So matthew is all calm... grabs the pliars in the back seat and starts trying to get the other door to unlock... and me i'm all panicing and junk!

I over here crying and banging on the window hoping dad and mom would hear me!
Make a long story short... mom fianlly came looking for matthew and me in our rooms but we weren't in the house! So dad hears this pounding they run outside to unlock the car and let us out.
I shook for the longest time... and later we went to bus tables at the pizza place and i was like sick from the heat from that car...
My stomache was so upset.

But I've got to go its time to eat now..

so catch up with ya'll later.

I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in

And somewhere while you’re sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you
And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in it takes you in for good
When love takes you in

The Heart

"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began,

"I'll open up your heart..."
"You'll find Jesus there," the boy
interrupted.
The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll
cut your heart open," he continued,
to see how much damage has been
done.."
"But when you open up my heart, you'll
find Jesus in there," said the boy.
The surgeon looked to the parents, who
Sat quietly. "When I see how much
damage has been done, I'll sew your
heart and chest back up, and I'll plan
what to do next."
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The
Bible says He lives there. The
hymns all say He lives there. You'll
find Him in my heart."
The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell
you what I'll find in your heart.
I'll find damaged muscle, low blood
supply, and weakened vessels.
And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives
there."
The surgeon left.
The surgeon sat in his office, recording his
notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged
pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration.
No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy:
painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:, "
here he paused, "death within one year."
He stopped the recorder, but there was
more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud.
"Why did You do this? You've put
him here; You've put him in this pain; and
You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said, "The boy,
My lamb, was not meant for your
flock for long, for he is a part of My
flock, and will forever be.
Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and
will be comforted as you cannot imagine.
His parents will one day join him here,
and they will know peace, and
My flock will continue to grow."
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his
anger was hotter. "You created that
boy, and You created that heart. He'll
be dead in months. Why?"
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb,
shall return to My flock, for He has
Done his duty: I did not put My lamb
with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve
another
lost lamb."
The surgeon wept.. The surgeon sat
beside the boy's bed; the boy's
parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and
whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?"
"Yes," said the surgeon.
"What did you find?" asked the boy.
"I found Jesus there," said the
surgeon.

I cannot hold back all the excitement I have.
I can't wait to see everyone.
But I need you guys to do something for me....
I'd Really like to be there from the very begining and through till the end of the assembly.
If your able I ask that you fast and pray everyday with me until the assembly... for my family.
Now I know everyone seems to be having money issues before the assembly.
This is why I know the lord is going to do something very mighty at the General Assembly. Because the devil is fighting very hard.
But If you decide too remember Fasting is to humble yourselves before the Lord.
If you will for my family I will for yours to be able to come.
I know it wouldn't kill me not to be at the assembly... but I'd rather not miss it.
I'll just tell you... we got our money in but the check wasn't what we expected... we are way behind on bills very important bills... and We just really need a miracle right now.. Otherwise... We won't be going to the assembly.
I really hate to say that... but thats the truth.

I love You guys and I really want to see you all..


Always,

~Denise~

Everyone......*long silent pause*
