Lorin's First 2 Toddler Dress

This is Lorin in her first 2 toddler size dress. It's one of my faves but it also makes me sad that she is growing up so fast! BUT no, I am NOT ready for another one!! If I have my way, unless God intervenes, Lorin will be an only child....a spoiled rotten only child. Seriously, I am not a multi-task kind of gal, Lorin would be all gorgeous in her little outfit while the other child would be in a t-shirt with a snotty nose or something. It's kind of like those "Do One Thing and Do it Well" commercials where you see Randy's Doughnuts and Law Service.....I just need to stick to Lorin and make sure she turns out right. I salute you mom's who can handle more than one. TINA, you amaze me!! I stand in awe that you can do all you do and still DO AN AWESOME JOB at it! My brain hurts just trying to figure out how you do it. Well, church was awesome tonight and I'm exhausted so I am going to bed..and to all you Cornerstone Revivalist out there...."IT'S TIME TO GET IN THE FLOW!".

The Pentecostals Are Coming!!

"Where there is no vision, the people parish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."

- Proverbs 29:18

VISION 400 and beyond.

Prophesy has been given and is now being fulfilled. The Church is being built. I truly believe that Cornerstone Revival Center will be the catalyst for the greatest revival the state of Alabama has ever seen. But it wont stop there. This revival is going to catapult the whole Southeast into a frenzy of Holy Ghost Fire. But it wont stop there. It will spread through the United States, past the borders of this country, into every corner of the earth; until every being has been touched by this Apostolic, One God, Jesus Name message. The Devil can not stop it, Denominal Religion can not bring it to an end. Dignitaries can't stop it. Backsliders will not stop it but will be restored into the Kingdom of God. Doubt will not quench it for doubt will be SHOUTED OUT! We are turning the tables on hell! SATAN YOUR KINGDOM IS COMING DOWN. Get Ready Cullman, Alabama...THE PENTECOSTALS ARE HERE!

Here's to Friends!

Peter and Elyse

Peter and I grew up together and Elyse and I use to hang out back in our High School (Crazy) days (though we didn't attend the same one). I have many hilarious memories with both these two and now they are married!!!! lol. It's such a small world. Not only that BUT they just found out, last Thursday, that they are expecting their FIRST baby! I'm So excited!! Another little Magnolia baby! (I'm secretly hoping for a girl lol) Anyway, they are going to be GREAT parents..Lorin loves them both and we all know that is HUGE..she doesn't gel with just anybody. Plus, Peter and Elyse are both full of the Holy Ghost and will be training this baby up RIGHT! Well, congrats you two. I love you both!

Ashley and Butch

Ashley is my dearest and bestest friend! (Here in the South we have good, better, best, and then bestest) I'm pretty sure there are pictures floating around somewhere of me holding her when I was little and she was a new born! That is how far we go back. She and her awesome husband, Butch, pastor an Apostolic church in Ceterville, Alabama and God has/IS using them mightily in that city. They both have such a burden and a vision for not only Centerville but the whole state of Alabama. REVIVAL IS NOW!!! Not only are Butch and Ashley some of our closest and dearest friends, they are also Lorins Godparents! I couldn't trust anyone more to insure the right path for my daughter in case Tristan, myself and my parents are no longer here. (Just so you know...Butch is holding Ashleys purse so she can hold Lorin...that is NOT his purse!! lol)

Nathan and Tayna Harris

Tanya and I were roomies in Bible School. ...and the world will NEVER be the same lol. I have so many funny stories with this chicka! There isn't enough room to even START to write it in this blog. She and her Husband Nathan have been doing an awesome work in Spain and now they are going to have a baby soon! I can't wait to see them again. Here is a picture taken when they came into town last year. Of course, being the good Texans we are , we went to a Mexican restaurant! lol.

Kenneth and Chantelle

A match made in Heaven with a little help from yours truly! Yes, I'm the matchmaker!! 6 years and 2 kids later I'd say it went well lol.

Kenneth and I grew up together in Alabama. Chantelle and I were roomies in Bible College and had a BLAST together! If I ever need to just "Get Real", I call Chantelle...she has a unique way of putting things in perspective lol. I'm so glad she lives in Alabama now...even though I still don't ever get to see her!! Tristan and I have so much fun when we are able to get together with these two (4)!

Drea and David NUTT.....

Yes, they are BOTH Nuts lol. Drea is sooo very musicaly talented, she sings and plays the piano beautifuly. Not only was she also a roomie of mine in Bible College, she and Tanya are sisters. Andrea, Tanya, Chantelle and I had the greatest time. I couldn't have asked for better roomates! Who else would have thrown my gurdle at my Husaband, right after our wedding, as we were leaving our appartment for our Honeymoon? THANKS DREA!!!!! lol. This is a picture with their GORGEOUS little girl. Isabella, who is going to have a new sister soon!!!!

Lorin Grace Hood

Lorin Grace Hood

"Baby Girl"

Born May 3, 2006 @ 12:25 p.m.

Doctors Banks and Gray Presiding

What words can I possibly use to describe Lorin Grace? She leaves me speechless, on countless occasions, with her astounding intelligence and beauty. She is destine to be great and go far in the Kingdom of God. Lorin is 21 months old now and can use the potty, count to five, pray, and dance among many other thing. Furthermore, her vocabulary is extensive for her age. She is constantly amazing her Pediatrician, Dr. Levin, who often parades her around his office; showing her off to the staff and other clients.

Lorin is constantly observing the world around her and imitating the people she comes in contact with. Is it any wonder I'm so selective in regards to her circle of influence? If I were to let her observe a negative influence, she would grasp that concept immediately and imitate it. Tristan and I have firmly placed a "G" rating viewing guide in our home for this reason and many others.

The Tale of Two Loves

I would like to dedicate this blog to my wonderful husband and my incredibly intelligent and beautiful daughter. Without these two marvels there is no telling where my life would be or the extent of dullness that would consume it.

"Heaven Brought Them Together I Suppose". - C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant in The Philadelphia Story)

I fell in love with Tristan on Friday, February 13th 2004 at around 9:00 p.m. Our church Valentines Banquet was the following night and I was frantically applying last minute decorative touches to the Fellowship Hall. I had been working steadily for five hours and was completely parched with nothing to drink in sight. All of a sudden, my knight in shining armour showed up with a taste of pure Heaven... an ice cold, water droplet dripping, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. It was love at first sight. How could I resist his proposal to be his date for the Valentine Banquet? When he proposed marriage to me, it was at my favorite spot in Birmingham.....The Gate. As we sat there in the twilight overlooking the Magic City, Tristan asked me to be his wife. Again, I couldn't resist, especially when he promised to buy me Prada shoes for the rest of my days! hehe. Momma didn't raise no fool!



Here is a picture from the Valentines Banquet that following night.....don't we look so skinny and young?!?!?!? (Yes, I blew all those Balloons up!)
