All Because of Him

I have to take a few moments to brag on my sweet sweet hubby today. So if you don't like mushy gushy love stories, you might want to just look away.....


I am away this week at Camp Dayspring with my bestie doing what we do best....loving on kiddos!!  We are having a blast! I am wore out, but still loving it! We have cooked, cleaned, swept, sweated, feed kids, talked with kids....but the best part for me, is doing worship with these adorable children.  I got to be a part of Vertical Worship (our church's youth praise team) this week by doing the motions for worship.  These kids are soaking it up!!! They love worshipping the Lord.  They were told this week by one of the band members that worship was not meant to be boring, God wanted us to dance and sing and have fun doing it.  And we totally are!!! I love leading kids in worship. I am 100% absolutely, positively doing exactly what I was made to do!

But here's the most important part....I couldn't be, or wouldn't be doing any of this if it weren't for my wonderful husband Dean.  He is my biggest fan. He is my encourager. He is a voice straight from heaven for me.  God speaks to me through this man all the time, when I don't always listen for myself. He kept pushing me and pushing me until I finally listened and asked Chasity if I could start helping upstairs with our kids ministry.  The very first time I was up there, I knew I was in the right place.  But I kept fighting it. Saying I didn't want to do stop being part of worship in "big" church. I wanted to stay connected, and be a part.  But Dean consistantly said, "but that's not where you are supposed to be".  He was always sweet about it, never pushed, but kept encouraging me week after week that I was supposed to be with those kids.  And I am exactly where I am supposed to be.  My heart for worship with the kids....I can't even explain it.  I want our kids to understand what the difference between  praising an amazing Lord and worshipping our Heavenly Father. How to let go and just love on our God. Kids aren't scared of what other people think. They have no fear. No inhibitions. They just worship!! I love that God lets me a part of this amazing minstry, with a group of incredible people!!!

Dean....thank you for loving me so much that you continue to push me towards my calling, even if it means you take a backseat in your own calling.  You have spent the last 5 years encouraging me and my 3 girls to become all that God made us to be. We couldn't do any of the things we are doing....without having you in our corner every day!! I love you.....more and more every single day!  Never stop being you!
