Sharing a Moment in my LIFE

Hey Sistas,

Several of you have heard what I encountered last June. If you would like to read more click here.

When God speaks, we must listen. It can mean life or death.

Love you, precious ones!

Blog Fog

So, this is a new term for me. It may already be in the blogging world, however I personally have never heard it. For me "Blog Fog" means wanting to share something on my blog, but just not taking the time to write it all down. Hence,I say nothing.

So, I'm trying to lift the fog and let you all know what is going on in my life. Always an adventure in the Sista-Hood :)

Where do I start? Maybe at the beginning of the year...
January - The LAMBS ministry held a Divine Design at Life Church. We had around 40 ladies present. This day the Lord took over my notes and I shared things from my personal testimony that I'd never shared before....just lovely, I thought these ladies are going to think I'm a horrible person, but only God can take your mess and make it your message. Thank you, Jesus! At the closing, Sara Arro brought a challenging word to the Sistas "Why are you here"? Lives were touched and changed.

February - My Ansley celebrated her 21st Birthday and got engaged! Almost, too much for this Mama to handle. Bible study got up and running with 125 ladies enrolled. I coordinated and attended both Monday nights and Tuesday Mornings (and I had prefect attendance). I got out of my comfort zone, with the Monday Night Mamas - I prepared a meal for them each week, I believe this was key to our attendance. We enjoyed blessed food physically and spiritually. Our Ministry Team traveled to Winder and held Divine Design at First United Methodist in Winder - It was special and again God did not let us down. He brought the message through Lisa Frost "What do you do when your house falls apart"? Great Word!

March - Bible study consumed most of my time. The Lord greatly enlarged my territory.
The door opened for me to engaged in several hands on ministry projects. We have been collecting items for the inmates in our local jail through "Breaking Chains" ministry. These items will be given away at Christmas on an Angel Tree. LAMBS was the feature guest on WRAF radio, in order to promote the upcoming conference at The House of Prayer. Kathy Nicholson also wrote an article about us "Designing Women" featured in the Northeast Georgian. The conference was wonderful. Many Sistas received breakthrough over bondage they had carried in their hearts for years. Too GOD be all the glory. I brought the closing message "Don't rearrange the furniture". The days was absolutely Divine!

April - Where did it go? Todd celebrated his 45th b-day ~ Yay, Mr. Todd! I love to call him Mr. Todd - this all started from our Sunday school class at church. You see we teach 4th and 5th graders. He called me Sister Staci and I'd say Brother Todd, well we confused the students because they thought we were really brother and sister. How funny!! Can you say..Generation Gap??? So, know he is Mr. Todd and I'm Sista Staci. April....took LAMBS to Clayton, Georgia to Persimmon Church of God. Let me just say it's a long and winding road to PCOG. I love those sweet precious ladies. We had a Holy Spirit outpouring and many lives we touched. Only the mighty hand of God can move the mountain. Sara Arro brought the closing message "The temple of God". She passed out brown bags to all the ladies and asked them to hold them until she directed them to open and remove what was inside. She told us about the temple of God and then say there is another temple we should take care of and pleasure in...open your bag. Inside was a mirror - YOU are the temple of God. You could hear the ladies gasp, they were not expecting that. God is so good!

May - Whoa...already. Ansley graduated Magnum Cum Laud from Truett McConnell College. And she had a teaching job at The Little school in CLarkesville. She will be teaching 4th and 5th graders. Bible study finished up with 87 ladies strong. This is awesome! I have been in the middle of Wedding planning with Ansley. She said Yes to the dress...YAY~ it is gorgeous - I did not cry when I saw it on her. I cried later when we celebrated at lunch. It took a minute for it all the hit me. "MY GIRL IS GETTING MARRIED"!!! I have been studying for my Church of God Exhorter's License. I will take the test in July. Life is sweet!

Andrew update: Andrew is doing a summer Ministry Internship at Adaisville Church of God. He is getting to work inside and outside the church. This past Sunday he went to the Homeless Mission in downtown Atlanta. He played his guitar and gave his testimony. He loves working with the youth and playing his guitar for P/W on Sunday.
God is transforming his life as He daily gives of himself to others.

Well, I do feel like the blog Fog has lifted a little. Our next Divine Design will be held at The Torch on July 10 - an open invitation to all. Just RSVP to me.

Isaiah 40:11 (Contemporary English Version)

11The LORD cares for his nation,just as shepherds care for their flocks.He carries the lambs in his arms,while gently leading the mother sheep.

GOD is LARGE and in CHARGE!!

It's ALL Good in tha Sista-Hood!

JESUS or BUST!

I remember my Fifth grade trip to St. Augustine Florida. Someone made a sign and placed it in the rear window of the Trailways bus that said "Florida or Bust!" I had never heard this phrase before and I ask "What does that mean?" The answer came; you want that more than anything and nothing will stand in your way to get to your destination. Oh, well...alrighty then.

As, I've been pondering today...see I can sit still long enough to ponder. I thought about my destination. And it hit me JESUS or BUST! I will not let anything, or anyone stand in my way from arriving at my destination.

Recently, I've been saying a new prayer in the morning. I heard this from a friend. She share it from a book called"Prayers that Availeth Much." This prayer speaks of our daily destination. I thought about this a lot and looked up the scripture again in Romans that speaks about "Pre-destination" and I have to admit that I've always viewed this particular verse on predestination in the context of my final destination.

Romans 8:29-30 (New International Version)

²⁹For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

However, recently as I've been praying in the morning about my day, and I ask Jesus to be with me and I've be saying "Lord, please allow me to follow whatever you have predestine my day to be." This has been a new revelation to me. I can see the hand of God working in my live; like never before. Knowing HE has always had a plan for me on this day...long before there was a Staci Lynne Holland Pealock - just blowing my mind - I tell you...BLOWING MY MIND!!

I want to encourage you...take time and Invite God to show you; your " Daily Pre-Destination" God is a gentlemen, he wants to be invite in, all we have to do is ask Him and HE will answer.

Enjoy...your "Pre-Destination Day"

JESUS or BUST!

Livin' and Lovin' for GOD,

Sista Staci <3

God is good all the time ~

Life has been traveling at rapid speed for me these last few months. I wanted to take a few minutes and share just what's been going on in my quirky life.

In January Todd and I celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary. We started dating when I was 15 years old. He says he follows Biblical teachings...raise them up in the way and when there old they will not depart. He's to funny!
Also, our ministry team held a Divine Design conference at Life Church in Baldwin, Georgia. We had a wonderful day. I got to meet so many wonderful Sistas and the Lord was there with us in a mighty special way.
On to February....the Month of LOVE! Yes, sir indeed! My precious daughter Ansley Marie turned 21 on Valentine's day - I cannot believe that my little girl has gown up so quickly. She also got engaged to Jared Micah Green. We are all very excited and looking forward to what God has in store for their lives. Ansley also passed the GACE - Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators. She will be actively pursuing a teaching position. I know God has just the right place for her.
Andrew is loving college life at Lee University in Cleveland, TN. I miss him like crazy; especially at night when every thing is settling down. I think to myself where is my boy? I guess I'm like the Mama Hen needing to gather all her chicks inside the coop.
We also had a Divine Design Conference in Winder, Georgia at the First United Methodist church. We had a wonderful day. The Lord truly blessed our hearts and Sista Lisa Frost shared a word from the Lord with us..."What do you do when your house falls apart?" It was a blessed day through and through.
And I also had the privilege and honor to speak to a group of precious Sistas from Glory Baptist Church. The Lord did a real special work in the hearts of these wonderful ladies. After all, His word will not return void. And He that started a good work, will be faithful to complete it!
So, that brings us to March - lots of Snow this week in the Northeast Georgia mountains. It was beautiful and it slow things down for me a bit. But, my feet are up and running once again. God has work for me to do. And I so very honored and thankful that he has called me to work for Him.
Oh, yes...Bible study at The Torch is AMAZING! I'm loving the Monday night Mamas - We prepare dinner for them each week and have a 6 O'clock Snak-N-Yak - This has been a BIG hit with our Women. I am so proud of them. They work outside their homes all day and then give time to the Bible study each week. Several of the ladies told me they "cannot wait to attend and it is a blessed way to start off their week." I love it! I still hold my coordinating position on Tuesday Morning Bible study- these ladies bless my heart for many reasons. I love the Sista-Hood! We have on average 100 ladies attending between both classes. Yay!

Have a blessed Day! Love on the Lord today. Every body needs lovin' - even JESUS!

Saying again....

It's ALL Good in tha SISTA-HOOD!

Breaking Free

Hey Sistas!
Whew - Christmas is over and New Year's was ushered in with a BIG BANG at The Pealock house. I mean that literally, Andrew and Todd purchased several fireworks. I stood outside on the front porch and my entire body shook and then all these little pieces of black stuff fell all over me...the boys loved it. I don't know what it is about guys and BIG LOUD SOUNDS....oh well, I will never understand.

So, here's the deal. We are preparing for Breaking Free Bible study at The Torch. With that I have to decide about the decorations and the theme. The Lord always gives me a vision of what to do and this time is no exception. I have the what...it's just the how. Here is where you come in. I need one of two things -
1) One word to described what God has set you free from/or what you are struggling with.
2)personal testimonies

Please post anonymously - If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me personally at stacip@hemc.net

I appreciate your help with this. It will bless many Sistas!!

Take Care and remember...
JESUS is ALL in 2010 :)

I Love Ewe!

A to Z - Jesus is for me :)

From A to Z Jesus is the one for me!!

The following is an excerpt from my sermonette that I presented at Regency Church of God - Divine Design Women's Conference on Saturday, December 12 2009. The Lord showed me how He can take the negative and make it something positive - only GOD can do this - be blessed!

If your Annoyed – get Anointed.

You may be Bitter, but Jesus makes you Better.

Have you been criticized? Turn it around and make it Christ sized.

Depression – He Defeats!

Evil turns into Encouragement.

For Fear, He says have Faith while you wait.

Garbage in / Garage Out – GOD in / GOD out!

That Hurt He Heals!

Think you’re going Insane, only Imagine!

He takes our Junk and turns them into Jewels.

That enemy that tries to Kill, God will Keep away.

He takes Lies and gives Love.

Turns Madness in to Mercy.

All your Nasty is New.

Oppression meets Opportunities

and Life’s Pressures become a Pleasure.

No Questions asked….You are a Queen.

Rejection walks in Redemption.

Stumbling blocks are now your Stepping Stones.

Tough is made Tender.

Useless to Useful.

No longer the Victim, but the Victor.

Wounds are for your Witness

and when you feel X-out by the world, Jesus says he is like the Xerox machine – copy Me.

God is not Burger King – where you have it your way…He is the King of Kings – Yaweh.

And only God can take a Zombie and fill it with Zeal.

Glory to GOD!!

Love you all, Sistas!!
