One crazy and amazing weekend!!!

We just had the most amazing weekend!  We got to enjoy it with a lot of our friends and had an great time with God.  Ok, ok, we finally recorded an album.  Yay!!!  I will talk more about it later…..I just wanted to post some thanks to very special people to me and share some pictures from the weekend with you.  

Calling all praying………uh…..people

I would just like to ask all of you that have supported Sarah and I through the years and those of you who have become good friends of ours here in St. Louis and have been an amazing encouragement to us, to be in prayer with us this week concerning the recording of the album during this weekends services. 

Just to give you a little insight to what the focus of the album is:

The songs are written almost as a prayer for God to come and restore hope to the church and a new found faith arise within it.  Though people may not know half the songs when we play them we are praying and know that the anointing breaks the yoke and the anointing makes a way.  

So please be in prayer throughout this week with us that the Holy Spirit will move heavily throughout the recording so that we capture an anointing that would break every chain of doubt, broken hearts, distrust, unforgiveness, fear, etc. off of the people who hear the album in the future and off of anyone who is in the services this weekend.  Pray that God will unify our music strongly so that we move with the Spirit throughout the weekend.  And pray whatever the Holy Spirit brings to your mind to pray for.  Thanks so much for your prayers and support.

Blessed are the POOR……..

For a month now I have been unable to get out of Matthew 5:3…… the Beatitudes, but I haven’t gotten past verse 3.  Which says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”   This entire month I have awakened to the pride within me and the lack of zeal I have had for the Lord.  I began to think about the difference between a poor man and a rich man.  I tried to go beyond personality types, attitudes, and so on, and tried to look at the undeniable factors.  The only conclusion that I came to was that the rich man neither was hungry nor feared going hungry, and the poor man was or would be hungry and feared going without food.  This is what POOR means in the Hebrew…..

The two most beautiful girls I have ever seen!

 

I told you I would keep the pics coming.  Sarah had another ultrasound today.  It is great having twins because you get a full ultrasound every month to make sure they are doing well in the pregnancy.  So I will keep this one short.  I have some pictures for you.  Click on the continue link below.

God is good

I just wanted to testify today that God is good!  That’s it.  He really is.

The Father’s Heart

I was sitting in The Prayer Room this morning and was unexpectedly captured by the love of my Father God.  I have always had a struggle finding my place in life and just with myself in general.  I believe part of it comes from the fact that my dad and I have never been close and we have had a lot of falling outs.  My wife Sarah has dealt with the same kind of stuff.  Her maternal father has never really been there for her and she comes from a divorced home.  

It’s so sad that we live in a society to where it is probably more common for a father to not take responsibility for their children rather than take responsibility and pass down their knowledge and wisdom. Father’s that probably were taught the same thing, that their life comes as a priority compared to their children.  Sometimes there are fathers that are in the home but are completely checked out and live in a different world, offering only the help of their cash and never attempt to impart wisdom and love to their children.  

The Many Faces of Religion

Sorry it has been a couple days since I posted.  It is crazy busy right now.  I went and saw a pretty good movie this past Friday with some of my good friends called “Traitor”.  I recommend it for anyone that loves good government based action movies that have a twist and go very deep into the system.  The movie was about a specific group of terrorists and what took place.  I won’t spoil the movie for you at all.  I can’t stand those people.  BOOOOOOOO!

There was an internal struggle between a few in the group.  The all based their Islamic beliefs around the koran, but there was extremist (terrorists) and then there was just a religious man who didn’t believe in war and believed in peace and love.

I have baby/ultrasound pictures! And all the women say…”Awww!”

Just thought I would share some pictures of the babies with you guys.  We have picked out names for them: Laila Grace Vaughn and Liberty Hope Vaughn.  We don’t know which is which yet cause we want to see them first.  We can already tell that baby A is way more photogenic.
