Vacation in Stockton, California

So the pictures below are pictures from Joels and mine trip to Stockton California to see our home church VICTORY IN PRAISE.
God was so awesome to bless us with plane tickets (through my parents) to see our CHURCH family. I had been praying for 4 months to fly to Victory in Praise the weekend after my birthday. A month before the date a lady from our church in Louisiana offered us tickets to a couples retreat for the same weekend. Though we had not received the tickets to California yet I knew in my gut God would provide. So I said I am sorry we have plans that weekend.

Exactly a week later after the lady offered couple retreat tickets we recieved tickets from my parents for my birthday to go to Stockton. Is God not awesome or what. We spent the whole weekend with Toni, Toya, Champagne, Morgan, Langston and Getting our praise on with VIP. It was awesome.

One coolest thing about my birthday is that I ask God for a word to give me for the year. And even before I finished asking him the day of my birthday he responded with one word, "Gifts" Now being the person I am I thought Spiritual gifts. Little did I know that He would bless Joel and I through the year with natural gifts. Since my birthday in September we have gone to Stockton California for a weekend, FLorida for a week, New Orleans for the Hurricane, and now we are heading for Washington state.

And then I was really needing a brown belt but I wanted to wait until Joel and I got more money so I could get one and one day when I was thinking about it God clearly spoke and said why don't you ask Me for one. So I asked God specificly for a brown belt. Then when Joel and I got back from Florida there on the blessing Table was a genuin leather brown belt. Is God not awesome or what. It was a way better one than what I would have picked out.

I love the God that Joel and I serve. Not because He gives us things but because He is so in love with us and shows us in the most personal way.
