I declare the new time of the Lord upon your life! Be blessed in the name of Jesus! I love you! I receive this loving hug! May the Lord reward you for everything! Shalom

Oh don't worry, I've been pretty bad at keeping up with myspace these days as well. I'm still trying to sort through my inbox, and I've been doing that for around a month now. I'm so glad you like the new pics! I love them, and yes, my photographer is a genius. She is one of the most talented individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. You are so sweet, and I'm glad you were born as well lady! Where would the world be without that beautiful voice of yours?! Best of luck on getting back into the swing of things online... :)

Hehe... no worries mate... things have been a bit of a challenge this side of the world as well. myspace is certainly not a priority anymore. well yes, the fire still burns, even the psalms say that the Lord makes his ministers a flame of fire... so it applies to the both of us really. my prayers go out to you and your family. God Bless you Gill. keep in touch through e-mail if you can.
