Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already here. It has been an amazing year and we have so much to thank Him for. Another thing to blow your mind is that there are only fifty days left till Christmas!!!

God is good! We have had a great month! The Holy Spirit has really been taking center stage at all of our concerts and blessing us so much. We love being upstaged by God's great and wonderful Spirit. Our main goal every time we sing is to get up and help God lead the worship, but also stay out of the way and let Him minister. The combo has been so overwhelming lately. Souls are coming to know Christ and hearts are being renewed. That's what it is all about!

Hello May! We are heading back in from Texas now and the sights are beautiful. Some times we just stop to get out and look at how mighty God's work is!!!! However the weather wasn't quite this beautiful the whole trip. We had some big storms come through Texas in the early morning hours on the day of our Singing and knock out all the power in the area. However how big is our God? The guys at the church broke out some generators and moved over to the Fellowship Hall where we had an amazing time. The worship was outstanding and God showed up like He always does. Just goes to show that it's not the building that makes the church, it's the people!!!

April is one of our favorite times of the year!!! Well, when it’s not raining!!! Everything starts to bloom and the weather is so beautiful. It is almost as if everything just gets a new start at life; almost the same as us when we all accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The old cold and nasty weather calms and the new warm crisp air begins to blossom new things in our hearts. It is amazing the love of God and the tremendous amount of forgiveness He has for us. Time and time again we all fall short, but just like spring, the flower will be able to bloom again. We often talk on our trips how that God forgives us and still has chosen us to spread His word. Also how that we have to let our hearts forgive and forget as His does. Let’s use this time of year to remind us of that. No matter the circumstance, God knows your heart and you CAN!!! and WILL!!! BLOOM AGAIN!!!

Wedding bells rang, a CD was released, and a single went up the charts. February was a great month, and March is looking even better! The CD has now hit the web and is soon to hit the stores. We are so excited for the world to hear the message that God has given us. The response we have received for it thus far has been overwhelming. Thank you to everyone for the love and support. The first single on the album, “I Stand In Awe” has also had a great response as it continues to echo over the airwaves. We truly stand in awe!!!

February is known as the month of little candy hearts and flowers. This month is special to a lot of people. Some got married, or some fell in love with that special someone on Valentines Day. This time of year may we remember to tell the ones we love whatever is on our hearts. Remember that life is short and we are not promised tomorrow, so heal the broken friendships and love one another. The Bible says Proverbs 10:12, “Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs”. This special month also reminds me of 1 John 4:8, “ Whoever does not love, does not know God, because God is love.” Do you know love? Always remember, God loves you. He loves you so much that He gave His only son so you could have everlasting life. You’re never alone; whether you have a companion or not, God loves you. So remember this month as you eat your chocolates and put the flowers in water to tell God you love Him. Thank Him for each and everyday that you get to spend loved by Him.

Stepping into a new ministry, completing a new album, and a music video!!! This last year was truly a blessing that we will remember forever. This all brings us to a testimony that we would like to share with all of you. The beginning of last year, 2008, we came to the end of a ministry that we had shared with each other for five years.

Praise the Lord, it's Christmas time!!! This is one of our favorite times of the year. Not just because of all the great presents, but the feeling in the air, the feeling of love and joy. You can always tell when Christmas is growing near. There's something in the air that takes us back to the time when our Savior was born; you just feel something special is coming.

This is the first line from our newest radio release, "I stand amazed that I'm standing here at all!" These words are so true for us. We used to listen to Crystal River on the radio and Internet and loved their songs and ministry. Now we are the ones chosen to carry on this ministry! God works in mysterious ways! From fans with a dream to being blessed to carry on the ministry of Crystal River, we truly stand amazed.
