A faVor to aSk

Hey my fellow brothers and sisters... Please practice a lot. Although we don't have upcoming events soon, we should still practice hard. i understand we lack instruments sometimes but that stop us from completing our task and/or goal. You should also practice at home. Practice to see how you are doing with your instrument. Check to see how you can change that one mistake taht you always make at a certain point of a song etc... You might have a chord that is always muted or off beat during a part. As you practice and work on your mistakes you'll get better. It works for me. I didn't just all of a sudden know how to play. It just might seem like it but NO... So yup yup yup, Practice practice practice. If you ever need help you can ask me anytime. Sorry Calida, Can't help you there, can't seem to help out with viola. LMAO. See you guys Thursday... If you guys ever read this before then^_^toodles

Time for a Change

I wonder how many people actually come on here. Well at lease I do. I wanted suggest that we play old school songs where almost everyone knows the songs. Not only that but know the lyrics by heart. It'll actually bring the crowd to life. As we all have expierienced the praise team gets their energy from the crowd. Playing songs that people know will surely bring people to the true heart of worship.

"YEs I can BLOG"

Hello to all!

This is Jeri. Hehe. Well, I guess, you know, if anyone comes across my blog then please pray for me. I'm far away from home and I would like to come back but there are technical difficulties. Please ask our heavenly father for guidance and strength. I feel like I have harden my heart to everything that these people are telling me. I feel like there are those who are trying to tell me how to live my life and no one has that kind of authority over me except for GOD! But, these people don't understand and they don't see what I see and it makes it hard. Ya know? So, please pray for sister Jeri. She needs all the spiritual she can get. = ) Thanks Lovescream. I love you guys.

Omg...

I'm getting so frustrated with this blog of ours but whatever.

So, I would like to share my inputs on this past bible study of "The Original Sin".
It was freakin' awesome!! I loved it and I was thankful that I didn't missed it. It just opened my eyes and everything made sense. I shared it with one person already and hopefully I can share it with many more. Starting with my family. For those of you wondering what it is... I can't help you on that. You're just gonna have to find out for your selves. It's a whole thick packet so I won't post it up. Google it. But here's a verse to always remember during hardship.

PSALM 23

¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

³ he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

⁴ Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

AMEN!

Trial by Fire: How to De-stress and Not Distress in Difficult Times
by Dr. Randy Carlson

“Americans are stressed out, and they are dealing with that stress in an unhealthy way.”Those are the words of Helen Mitternight, spokesperson for the American Psychological Association’s Practice Directorate which, in partnership with the National Women’s Health Resource Center and iVillage.com, conducted a telephone survey that serves as a ringing wake up call for people dealing with stress. The news isn’t good. The poll of over 2,100 adults, taken earlier this year, showed that people overwhelmingly react to work and family stress by engaging in distinctly bad behaviors– such as comfort eating, making poor diet choices, smoking and inactivity– and are more likely to report hypertension, anxiety, depression or obesity.

Women, the survey indicated, describe feelings of nervousness, wanting to cry or lacking energy; men were more likely to experience sleeplessness or increased expressions of irritability and anger. About 12 percent more women than men said they coped with stress by eating – a practice that actually birthed fatigue, insomnia, and guilt, adding to their perceived stress.

Jesus Christ actually affirmed that your life would be burdened by stress; not exactly an encouraging word. But His statement was also punctuated with a promise of hope in John 16:33. “But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

As a Christian, you have the incredible resource of God’s presence and power to help you cope with stress. Tapping into that resource, though, requires some work on your part. But listen – I guarantee that if you put in the effort on the front-end to consistently access Him, the personal payoff on the back-end will be a “de-stressed,” not distressed, existence. You’ll be happier, healthier, and your intimacy with God will grow.Here are four practical, Biblical responses to the stress in your life:

1. Live intentionally
2. Pray about all things
3. Don’t allow your emotions to run your life
4. Don’t overreact, but think things through

Info concerning "Marvelous"

This is probably by far one of the hardest songs that we have come upon, one being that we are writing this song and two, that we all are not on the same page. I will again make another recording that is more polished so that we can all see the vision of the song. Once we all see that vision, "Marvelous" will be a piece of cake! If you haven't heard the recent recording of the song please contact either me, Mai, or Calida. When listening to the recording, listen intently because "Marvelous" is not "just another song." It's more than that in that "Marvelous" has a certain vibe that makes it stand out from all other songs. If we feel that vibe then surely this song will be your best song yet.

Any questions?

Verse: Psalm 46: 1-3, 10

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³ though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

¹⁰ Be still, and know that I am God
