The Birth of my Son

Hi guys!,

I hope that everyone has gotten the memo: I have moved to Wordpress at http://danielandwhitney.wordpress.com. I love this blog so much, that I do not want to leave it. The Lord has allowed me to inspire and encourage so many people on here, that it is amazing. I am so glad to know all of you. I cannot commit to blogging on here as much, as this was for the LORD. I do not want to include too many personal posts on here. I will come back every now and then, Lord willing to update you on my family and family-life. The Lord has been so good to us.

My son was born on Friday, December 7, 2012 at 5:43 am at 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches long. I am so amazed that I have a son now. It's our first child and we are so in love. He is a joy to watch, the way his eyes move around the room and how he smiles in his sleep. The Lord is good, he is almost 3 weeks old today. Be blessed, family.

Church at Work!

Praise the Lord!

Today was a lovely day. The Lord allowed me to lead the youth church group at our workplace today (there is a Church on campus). I ended up landing a position at a local Christian non-profit, with the help of the Lord. I am smiling, I was glad that my supervisor, my co-workers, and the kids enjoyed my teaching lesson. I told my husband yesterday how amazing it was that I "used to" blog devotionals for my blog followers, and now I am leading church sessions. What a marvelous God we serve. He is using me in any way that He can, and I just want to be available.

A testimony that Ms. Sandy (my supervisor) said when she introduced me, was, "This is Whitney's fourth day on the job and she has volunteered to lead our church group sessions. It's amazing how you can be new at a job, but feel so comfortable in the house of the Lord, to lead a devotional." Praise the Lord! It was interactive and I had the kids talking and sharing. They range from ages 8 to 18. On the way out, my co-workers were blessing the Lord and telling me how good I did. Only God! Hallelujah. They said "We have never had an activity like that where the kids were so involved." They said that the spirits of the children seemed different that day, more uplifting and hopeful. They had discontinued the Church sessions, because they had no one to lead them. I thank God.

So, on this day, this week, and throughout your Christian walk-- say Yes to God. Let Him use you in a ministry where your gifts lie. If you work for God, HE will Work for you. And, that is the word for today. Be blessed in Jesus!

Overflow, Gentle River Wash me Now

Christ Tomlin's "Overflow"

Here I bring my stains and crowns

Gentle river wash me now

Your love is deeper than I know

Your ways higher than I can go

Lead me in Your holiness

I will follow, I confess

Glory is the song I sing

Your life is living me

And where would I be

Without You, without You?

Where would I be

Without You?

I will bow before the cross

Cherish my Redeemer's cost

There is nothing I can do

But only stand amazed by You

Your mercy new with every day

Wrapped up in Your arms of grace

Nothing more, You're all I need

Your life is living me

And where would I be

Without You, without You?

Where would I be

Without You?

Like a waterfall

You fill my heart and overflow

Like a candle flame

You light my way

And lead me as I go

Like a waterfall

You fill my heart and overflow

Like a candle flame

You light my way

And lead me as I go

Lead me as I go

(And where would I be)

(Without You, without You?)

(Where would I be)

(Without You?)

Spirit overflow

Let me overflow

Spirit overflow

Let me overflow

Spirit overflow

Let me overflow

Spirit overflow

Let me overflow

Let me overflow
