Yesterday, I taught Sunday School. I teach two groups. First the older ones – 3 and 4′s. Then I teach the 2 year olds. They are SO small. Sometimes I wonder how much they really take in. But they are so sweet. I love them so much. As they entered the classroom I greeted them like I always do. You have to be very energetic from the very moment they enter to the moment that they leave to keep their attention. Sometimes they will all run up to me and give me hugs. I love it when they do that. So cute. Some Sunday’s I am flooded with so many hugs from them all at one time they they almost push me backward!!!

Yesterday I was teaching about the good news that there would be a baby born to Mary. Mary running to tell Elizabeth and Elizabeth’s baby jumping for joy in her womb. I gathered all the kids together at the end of the lesson and asked them what the real meaning of Christmas was. I asked them if it was about Santa and reindeer? Some said yes some screamed “Jesus”! I gathered them around the nativity scene we have posted on the wall in the classroom. I pointed to the different things on the wall and asked them “Who is this?… and who is this?” They usually always say “Jesus!!” no matter what I ask! I point to a sheep it’s Jesus! I love them. I pointed to Mary and asked “Who is this?” One little guy named Thomas yelled out “Mama!!

I am amazed and taught every Sunday by their small, yet profound, faith in God. They believe and they have faith. I wish my faith was so simple and so complete. No questions asked. Just Faith. Just trust.

The evening service we had a beautiful drama unfold before us. Beautiful. As I watched the Wise Men come and Mary and Joseph adore Baby Jesus.. my heart was so full of love for that Child… who became a Man… who changed the entire course of history.

As I think about Him I want my life to be wrapped up in loving, serving and knowing Him. As I reflect on the things He has done for me I in turn want to lift up my hands to Him and say take me I am fully and completely yours! I hope that as we reflect on His birth as we think about His coming to earth…. we think about what He wanted when He came. He came for us so that He could bring us Life. What an awesome, loving, self-sacrificing Man?

Whatever we do today and during the last few days until Christmas I hope that we will understand the real meaning of Christmas. I hope that we will understand He came because He wanted a relationship with us. He bridged the huge gap… because He loved us so much! I hope that we will build, build, build a strong living beating relationship with our Father. That’s what He wants most from you.

How do we DO this? I believe that we look into the stable… we look at the Baby. Gather around the Baby. Just look at His Life. In Sunday school we gathered around the Baby. In church and in the Christmas play we gathered around the Baby. Have you? I believe that when we look at Him our lives, our faces will reflect His beauty and glory and Life and we can’t help but be changed.

“In His Name all oppression shall cease”

Today was a beautiful day for me.

A few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was talking to the Lord about wanting to tell more people about him. I felt like all the people I know well are Christains and I have a burden to win people to Jesus and know His love like I do. I know this doesn’t mean I need to go hang out in bars sooo…. I told the Lord this desire of my heart. I asked Him to bring the ones that He wanted to me. I told Him that I would be open to sharing the gospel with them. I didn’t remember this prayer until today.

Today Dad preached a great sermon on young people following the Lord. After the service mom called me to come with her. There was a young girl at the front of the church who was ready to be saved. She just came to our church to visit. After sharing with her the plan of salvation again in a clear way for her I made sure she understood… Mom asked her if she would like to pray and ask the Lord into her heart. She said she would. Mom looked at me and told me to lead her in a prayer to receive Jesus into her heart. I did. It was a beautiful thing. After I got done praying and she repeated after me she looked up at me with a bright smile I looked back at her… and we both laughed in a happy light hearted way. I hugged her. We now had a connection. She was a child of God. She was my sister.

I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the desires of my heart. I know that He brought her to our church because He has a beautiful plan for her life and I “just happened” to be in the right spot to be able to lead her to the Lord because of my prayer to be used of Him. I want to pray that prayer more often. I want to be a vessel He can use. I believe He whispered to my heart today... “Holly I want to use you… just be willing to be used of Me.” I am thankful that His promises are forever true… wherever your at, whatever your doing..I believe He will use us if that is the truest desire of our hearts. It’s been a happy day! All glory to His Name today. I love Him so much….

Here is a women’s conference (click here for the website and more details) that looks like it will be worth something. This is truth we need to hear that is pretty much non-existant today. The speakers and singers are amazing and it’s awesome that they will all be in one place at the same time. Check it out!

About two or three weeks ago I got home from Winter Camp, as a youth counselor, and opened my email to find one of the happiest most fulfilling emails I have read. It was from my Sister Heidi. You see it’s been a little over a year ago that I was able to lead her to Jesus Christ. She is the first one I was able to lead to Christ, I am so glad it worked out that way. Awesome feeling!

When I opened my email, it was later on that night, I was in the living room with Mom and Dad. All I could do was break down and cry! They asked me what was wrong and I sent them the link. They cried too. You see Heidi doesn’t really talk a whole lot and she really doesn’t like to write a whole lot either. But, I was so happy to see that she would take the time to thank me for the work of Christ in her life. It was a big deal to her. He has made such a big difference in Heidi’s life! I can see the changes. I am so happy that God would open her heart to Himself. Here is the ecard she sent me. Click here to look at it, it’s beautiful. I walked into her bedroom that night and she was asleep. I woke her up and told her through many tears how sweet the letter was and how thankful I was to get it from her. She was sweet and said in her own quiet way how thankful she was. I can’t tell you how happy it is to serve the Lord! I can’t tell you what He can and will do through you when you yield your life to His work. I never would have guessed and yet at the same time it’s nothing about what I did or how I did it! Amazing…

The other night all of us girls took another girl here in the church out to coffee. We were talking with her about Jesus and salvation. I asked Heidi if she would tell what God did in her life. She boldly, passionately, in her quiet way through tears told her story of her salvation. That made me very happy. I know it made God happy. He is good.

Thank you to my Mother for her photography. We love you Mom. www.loispierpont.com

I have always loved Nancy Demoss and her heart for truth. I noticed, as I visit her website often, that she has a new book out with another author Dannah Gresh. “Lies Young Women Beleive” Visit the “Lies Young Women Believe” website. www.lieswomenbelieve.com

Get this book! It’s up-to-date and directly deals with issues young women face today.

As you might have seen before we ( my dear sisters and myself) are going to be going to the beautiful hills of Kentucky this summer to sing. Two things we love to do. You can see our schedule on our website here www.pierpontsingers.com

We will hopefully be able to blog our time down there on our weblog and give updates and pictures along the way! We are going to be spending the month of June there and would love to spend more time if at all possible but we will see about that.

One of the places we are excited about is volunteering at the Kentucky Mountain Mission summer camp for two weeks. We will also be at Hoedown Island one the funnest (my word) places in Kentucky on Friday and Saturday night. We will be singing the “gospel song” they have sung every night. And also hopefully doing some cloggin or attempting to but mainly laughing at ourselves. Anyway, just thought I would share a little of what we are up to at the moment. Right now my sisters and I are trying hard to practice and get the songs down. We will be traveling to Kentucky in May to be on the TV Station in Beattyville Kentucky we are happy about this as it reaches many counties and many many homes and people in Eastern Kentucky area.

We got in late last night from being gone over the weekend. About 2 am was when I finally went to sleep. As soon as my head hits the pillow I am out. I never have problems falling asleep. We were able to sing as a family, something I love to do. “When He Reached Down His Hands For Me” I love that song. And yes we sing with that country flare to it…. I have a solo that I sing and I absolutely LOVE to sing solos. People often tell me “you look like you enjoy singing” and I say I do! I love it.

Today I got up tiredly to wash my hair and curl it as always just to realize I had left BOTH of the curling irons I use all the time at the hotel. I was sad. They are NOT cheap either. These are professional curling irons so they cost a good amount of money. And since I got paid today I guess I will have to stop by Sally’s Beauty Supply for more… I can’t go on without my irons, that’s for sure.

Today I am looking for two very exciting things in the mail. A movie I saw when I was little and loved and haven’t seen in video stores so I ordered it! I can’t wait till it comes. My sisters and I love to have girl movie nights of course the guys like to join us too, we don’t mind. So we are planning it already.. you know a good romantic movie. Whenever I am asked if I want to see a movie I always, always ask… “Does it have romance?” if the answer is “no” I usually don’t want to watch it, thats just me! That’s just how I am.. and I think God made me like that. That’s why I love the Bible too… it has beautiful romance stories in it. And of course the most beautiful love story of all time. So, I can’t wait to get my movie and have a movie night.( Little secret about me is that I LOVE movies, good ones that is. ) That’s going to come and my candles hopefully! I can’t wait to get them. That should come today! :Update: Mom just said my candle kit has arrived as I write!! I am so excited to get home now!

I am working now two days a week for a lady in Hinsdale, as I think I mentioned, I am a personal assistant helper and have really enjoyed that. The other day driving a BMW for the first time… I tell ya you feel very cool. People just look at you differently. Anyway, so tomorrow part of my work for her will be volunteering at the Hinsdale Community House. I tell you God has just opened the doors for me to go out and work in this community that I live in ! I praise Him for it. I want Him too “Shine” through me. People have asked me questions about Him and I have answered boldly. It’s been wonderful. Yet, I know my God is never pushy or awkward. He always knows just the right thing to say and I love Him for that… I know He will use me if I am just willing! The cool, awesome thing for me to realize is that God will shine through me if I am willing! I don’t need to know all the right words I just need to be willing. I want to be a willing person He can use.

Today, as I was sitting at my desk here at work it’s a little but of a slow day. The TV was on and “The View” came on. Bless their liberal hearts they are and there “views” are very much OFF. They were putting down Ann Coulter for something she said about out Christians and the topic of your fine as long as you serve or claim a god that seems to be the popular belief today. I sat here and watched as Hillary Clinton walked on and people applauded her and she spoke as though she was already the president of the United States.. (God Forbid) She has a feminist speech about how wonderful it would be if she was president and people remembered when women couldn’t vote to a day a woman became president. She talked about the fact that Bill would do what she wanted and she would send him around the world gaining back respect and speaking… I don’t want to be mean. I want to love people. But wrong they all are!

We need women… strong women who still stand for what is right and true and moral. Women who have a “Right View” based on the Foundation that cannot fail, the Word of God. Women who know what life is and they protect their own wombs from anything demonic that would try to destroy the preciousness of an innocent life inside them the life we, as women have been given to protect. Women who can humble themselves under the mighty hand of God who will all one day bow down to Jesus Christ alone who sits upon the throne. Who IS the only way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him and Him alone!! I don’t know much really, I don’t know a whole lot about my country and current events and I find myself not knowing a whole lot about much …. But I do no one thing… and that is I believe the Bible and that The only View we should ever have is through the Holy Word of God. I believe in my heart and KNOW what is right. He has opened my eyes to Himself… and I believe what He says to my heart. I know that He speaks to me this “High and Lofty One” and I believe what He says is true. And in that I have everything and know all I will ever need, and so much more! I want to be one of the women used to stand for truth in this world…

I praise God for women like Nancy Leigh DeMoss and her stand for what’s right… there aren’t that many out there saying what needs to be said though! They have their “View” do you? Then make it known wherever you go and however you can they are not quiet nor should we! So find a voice and stand for what’s right. And pray that God never allows a woman like Hillary Clinton to disgrace America by being our first lady president. I know I am going to pray that way… every single day. But, that’s just my “view”.

I got to see my baby recently! I love this little guy. He is such a joy to be around and love on. Which he get’s plenty when his family is around.

It’s always a beautiful day when you are walking with Jesus! Just think your path is always getting brighter as heaven is a day closer. Today I felt so close to God’s will and I am so happy in Him. He is so good to me! I felt Him close to me all day today. So near — I didn’t necessarily take long amounts of time in prayer or reading the Word I just felt Him close by, nearby — like He is watching me ( as He is ) and knows all the paths that I take. I love Him.

I am so glad and happy in Him tonight. I felt like He was telling me that He is allowing the true desires of my heart to unfold for me. I feel like I am running around in the rain of His Blessings. My God is good.

Tonight as I was singing with my family one of my favorite bluegrass songs I was thinking about the words. They mean a lot to me. The one thing that hinders me from getting close to my Lord sometimes is being scared that I will try to be “better than others” or pharisaical, in other words thinking I am better trying to act like a am better all the while doing what God hates. Another thing is saying I am a Christian but doing things that are not at all Christan or Christlike or godly. This scares me sometimes because I don’t want this in my life. But I know that if we are like Christ then we will be farthest from being Christians in word only.

Here is the song we were singing:

You cannot gossip and cheat and lie and make it to those pearly gates,
You must love your neighbor as you love yourself your heart can’t be filled with hate,
Don’t act but be a Christian like the Bible says to be,
if your gonna live right let go of the wrong brother fall down on your knees.

There’s more to religion than Sunday morning it takes seven days of the week,
You just don’t know who might be listenin be careful what you speak.
Don’t act but be a Christian like the Bible says to be, if your gonna live right
let go of the wrong brother fall down on your knees.

It’s been a few days since I was as happy as I am today! God is so good and uses some amazing things to bring about His purposes. I am glad that I live in His plans for me. God bless you all tonight with the joy in serving Him alone and the peace that you are walking in perfect oneness with Him!

Well, this month has been so full of beautiful things. The most awesome and wonderful thing God did was that He brought a healthy and beautiful baby boy into our lives. My dear sister in law had some signs that labor was near so that evening they went on a walk through the mall. Then the hard contractions set in. My Brother Kyle called at 3:00 in the morning to tell me that Elizabeth was going into labor and they were driving her to the hospital. We kept in close contact with them and in the morning we were called with sounds of sweet baby Kyle crying in the background. I love that sound! Just look at that litte boy! He is perfect…don’t tell me God is not awesome when you look on such beautiful creation! I am going to be there to fight the girls away for him too. I am going to be just as prtective with him as I was with my borthers or more…and that’s pretty protective.

Elizabeth was tough and did everything natural. She is beautiful and looked great! She is a wonderful mother. I love her so much and thank God for bringing her into our lives. The hospital that she had Kyle were in was very family friendly which was a huge blessing to all of us as we hung out a lot in the halls and sometimes in the family waiting area but mostly with everyone in the hopital room! It was a great celebration of life.

Kyle Kenneth was born on May 16th to my oldest brother Kyle making me an Aunt! What joy and happiness he has already brought and I know will only add more throughout the years. We praise and thank God for him constantly! God is so good. He overwhelms me when I think about His blessings. Please visit my brother’s site to read his writings about being a father now. I love him so much. He has been a good brother and is a great Dad. www.kylepierpont.com

I lead my 6th Journey To The Heart and it was wonderful to see how God worked deeply in the hearts and lives of each young lady and to stand by and see how God lead another young lady to saving Faith in Himself. I was so glad to hear about this. God is really doing a work in and through the Journey To The Heart program.

The beginning of the month found me in Big Sandy Texas (where you cannot do your hair at all because of the thick and I mean thick humidity! ) anyway — .yes I was in Texas for the regional ATI Conference and it was great to be there and talk to the people about the “Journey’s” we are doing and what God is doing thorugh them. I loved doing it. On Monday or Tuesday we will be leaving for Nashville, Tennessee for the next regional ATI Conference and I am looking forward to talking to more people about the “Journeys” and also just being with my family and talking to people and seeing friends. I always enjoy being involved in the Conferences.

I have had a full, full year so far. I always say “Wow when you give God your single years He sure will take it and keep you busy!” It’s been great.

I went to the post office on Friday to apply for my passport. I am going to New Zealand in August to lead my first International “Journey To The Heart” for young ladies. I am excited about this opportunity and this is “far beyond all I had ever asked or thought” possible! I am just so thankful to God for using me for His service though He knows I am far from worthy to even be called His servant.

God has been blessing and I am so thankful for what He has done just in this wonderful month. I will never forget it. I hope that each of you are enjoying the blessing of knowing the Giver of Life. I hope He is teaching you and molding you and you are learning the joy of walking daily in His Holy Spirit.

Continue walking on the pathway of light and blessing! And may you see God bless you abundantly.
