Tomorrow night will be the start of the young ladies bible/book study I have wanted to start for a while with some girls in the church. We will be going through the book by Nancy DeMoss “Lies Young Women Believe” I have looked over this book and have really liked it. I think it really speaks truth. Some things that the Lord has been showing me lately is that there are so many lies/half truths/junk that we allow into our minds throughout the day. We need to return to the Truth. We need God’s truth daily. I know if I need that others would as well. So I am excited about starting this tomorrow night!

Today my first courses from Moody Bible Institute should be coming. I am enrolled in the Independent Studies program. I am so excited about this and it’s been something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am so glad that I can start this and be learning about God’s Word. That’s my main goal. I was reading today in the Word in Psalms 77 I believe. About teaching the next generations about God. Telling our children the stories about how great our God is. I believe that learning the Word is so important for so many reasons. One of which is the most sweet to think about for me. One day gathering my children around me to teach them about God’s Word. Speaking the truth into their hearts and lives. Right now it will be a big help to me to know the Word and to be able to speak and teach it more clearly as I have a better understanding of it. I am excited.

Today, I am working at Lowes hardware store. I am thankful for this job that God has given me. Though I would never have thought that I would go from working in a nail spa to a hardware store… it’s been something that God has opened up and I am grateful for the lessons I continue to learn from working there. I only work part time or a little less than part time and I am so glad for the hours. I still have a life! Speaking of which I need to get ready to go to work….

I want to share a little tip that has helped me in my quiet times with Jesus in the morning. I try to pray as well as read my Bible, (of course) and sometimes if I haven’t made it up early enough to beat everyone else it’s a little hard to think about praying so… writing my prayers down is something I have tried to do for a while. Though I am not as faithful as I want to be I have done if for a few years now.

I love these little journals. They are called “Moleskine”. My dear Brother Kyle got me my first one for my birthday. And I loved it. I like the mini size one. It’s perfect size for me. I have so many thoughts prayers in this little black book. I love to take it out and look through them. I am revived in my walk. And lately tears came to my eyes at how GOOD God has been to me! I have written out prayers when I was going through very happy times in my life and… at one of the hardest times in my life when I so needed His direction. I have prayers from the green hills of New Zealand and to driving through Mexico on a bus (and you can tell by my messing handwriting as I wrote out a prayer).

These are so special to me now! I look back and I am encouraged when I doubt the faithfulness of my God I am rubuked by my own words and by God’s hand of faithfulness always on my life. I would love to write a few out here one day. So, whatever you do to make your quiet times special I think you should have a journal and write out your prayers to God. It’s so worth it! Jim Elloit did this and his writings and openess always encourage me. I am amazed at God’s work in his life. I would never have known half of the awesome work God did do in His life had he not taken the time to write them down. I am glad he did. He is my hero.

Get a journal and write your prayers down! It will AMAZE you at the faithfulness of your awesome God! And how many prayers He has answered in your life. Yes it will because He is faithful.

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.

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear Children. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Eph. 5:1-2

Just think! We have the opportunity today to live in such a way that we are a beautiful aroma to God. Just like Christ was when He gave Himself as a sacrifice. The sacrifices today we have to make will not go unnoticed! They will be like a beautiful flower before the Lord, giving off a beautiful aroma He loves.

I have been meaning to write here a long post about the wonderful things Jesus has been doing in my life lately. But time has gotten away from me so I will just write a quick short post here about what I am up to. I am thrilled about it.

We love our new church family and ministry. The people have been so nice, welcoming and loving toward us. Dad loves being a Pastor again and all of us are enjoying this new stage in our lives. I am enjoying getting to know the girls in the church and trying to take out as many as I can for coffee as possible to get to know each other. It’s been fun.

I would love to tell you of the new things God is doing in my life lately so if you would like to see that go to www.pierpontsingers.com. This is our new website my uncle Kevin made for us and did a GREAT job. We are very thankful for him and his ministry to us and others. I am working on getting more info and content on the site but for right now take a look! We are thrilled about this and this is sorta like my full time job right now. I am keeping busy calling, churches, festivals, fairs, and missions in Kentucky and anywhere we can to expand our ministry. I am excited and God has given me a joy and peace and assurance that this is something He wants us to do at this time.

So look up www.pierpontsingers.com and look at the link “Mountain Parkway Kentucky Summer Tour” for what we will be doing this summer!!

I am amazed by God’s leading and clear direction. I am so happy that He is so in control!!

The past few months have been such a show of God’s leading and guiding. He has been so good and faithful! He has been strong and powerful. He has given me wonderful jobs with wonderful people who have been really good to me and now He is leading so clearly my family into a wonderful new ministry! We are moving back to Michigan… !!

I am excited about what God has in mind when we go there. Right now I am working hard on our singing ministry with my sisters. We are excited about what God is doing in that and blessing that ministry. We just want to talk to others about how much we love Jesus and what He means to us. Wherever we can. So we have been practicing every evening… and getting that going a little more. God has blessed us with a mike and very nice new sound system that we have been practicing with.

Thanksgiving is coming! I am so excited. I love this time of year. Hope is already listening to her Christmas tunes on the radio and has lights up. I love that girl…. though it’s WAY too early for that.

Oh and if you want to see a cute movie for Christmas… rent “The Christmas Card” It’s cute. And yes it has romance… or I wouldn’t reccomend it

Here is an essay that has been on my heart that I would like to share with you.

Have You Been Judged?

Have you been judged? I have. It’s been from the clothes I wear ( and I think I am pretty conservative, but not enough for some -another essay for another time) I have been judged about who I talk to. If I talk to a guy I am judged by having motives behind a simple gesture of conversation. I have been judged. It’s kinda a painful thing. I would ask God why? In the quiet of my heart I would ask my Father who knows all. Why am I being judged so harshly? It was kinda like being a player in a football game. I would be bashed over and over and over from all sides and about the time I got up to my feet another unexpected turn would come and again I would be flat on my back from someone hitting me down… again.

I asked God why? I believe He answered me. It was because I judged other people. It says in His word that if I judge others I will then be judged. I realize what a sin this is. We cannot take the place of God. Only He is the rightful Judge. Only He knows the motives of all hearts… so only He can judge others accordingly! It makes sense. Our job is to Love people. That’s what He wants of us.

I was convicted of looking and seeing a girl wearing something that was way too low or way too high to my standard and I would judge. No I wouldn’t sometimes say it out loud… but I would in my mind. They weren’t doing right that was wrong. Especially it seemed if she looked really good in it. Girls are like that. In my mind I was better, somehow. Well in all reality I am the one in the wrong. Who am I to know the heart? I don’t. My job is a lot simpler. I need to love people. It doesn’t mean I love what they do or do it myself. But who am I to judge other people? God has shown me that just as others who judged me with painful, hurtful things who didn’t know my heart, so I have others. Just as others have said things about the length of my skirts or the amount of slit or sleeveless shirts….etc.etc.etc. that I wear. They don’t know my heart! I am a pure girl who loves Jesus Christ. I want to live my life to His glory and honor and I hope and beleive that I am. I want to be who God has called me to be… and by His grace I will save all the judging to Him.

My challange this day is that we would consider the damage we do by judging other people. Whether you say something out loud or in the quiet of your heart. Guess what? it doesn’t make you better that you do this. It won’t make you “holier”. It would be better to go and do a few “bad” things than to sit and judge others as though you are a “holy” person.

God bless you all! As we all seek what real holiness is all about.

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.

Update: We sang as a family and gave testimonies last night of what God has been doing in our lives lately. Heidi gave her testimony of salvation and then we sang “One Little Lost Lamb” as a family with Kyle (Chuk wasn’t able to come yet but I think he might pull in tonight). Kyle also gave his testimony of staying under his parents authority in the area of marriage. I gave my testimony as well on the same subject and what God has done in and through my life when I gave my will and heart to my parents in all areas. It’s amazing to think about God taking a situation in our lives that we don’t know how to handle or that seems so sad and bringing beauty and good from it. Now I can say I was there when my sister Heidi knelt and asked Jesus Christ for salvation and when my sister Hannah opened her heart to the Lord in a deeper way. God is so good. I have never been more happy in His promises and in knowing Him in a deeper more real way then I have ever known Him before. Singleness is a beautiful gift of the Lord when we direct our all our passion into Him for one pupose and one goal.

April 12:…right now we are at the Indianapolis Training Center at the Dad’s Conference. I just heard that tonight our family is singing. It’s been really good to be here and see friends and make new ones. And just be with the family. Kyle was able to come here for the conference, as he will be a Dad soon. One more MONTH! Yes, I am thrilled. I am here getting caught up on emails, and writing and meeting girls that will be on the next Journey. I will be leading another Journey to the Northwoods on the 21st of April. I am very excited about this as I feel this is where God has so clearly placed me in His perfect plan right now.

On this next Young Ladies “Journey To The Heart” we have some really neat things planned. I am so excited about this idea and will be sure to tell you all about it when I get home. Yes, the “Journey’s” have been very time consuming and keep me going! Yet when people ask me about it I love to say “I came here to do ministry not sit around all day”. I have no deeper desire in my heart then to be in His perfect plan. How clearly He has lead me so far. So I am happy to see God open doors of opportunity. I can’t WAIT to tell you some of the things God is doing and open doors of ministry it is truly beyond “all I could ask or think”!

I will be posting some thoughts I have soon on modesty and femininess. The topic being on the question I so often had growing up. “Can I be “modest” and actually fashionable too?” I am so excited about sharing this issue on my heart as I too have faced this question many times. As this is one of the things I like to talk about the most! I will write more soon…

Have a wonderful day with Jesus!
