It’s the Ultimate Blog Party!
Welcome to the Home to “God is in Control… Not me”
So let me introduce myself….my name is Crystal!
I am a wife, mother, singer, songwriter, worship leader & writer for the PMS club on Sunday’s for the “Sunday Worship” Article and for the “In Spirit & In Truth” Meme on the last Sunday every month!
Last year I made my first CD and I am so excited to share that with all of you. You can find my CD on itunes as well as @ CD Baby.com. The Cd was released in September of last year and I am so honored to have so many great friends who helped me with that project, I could not have done it without them! I am giving away a free CD during the Ultimate Blog Party so don’t forget to leave a comment and sign up here with mr. linky to get entered into the draw.
I’ve been married to my hubby for 16 years now and we have two really great teenagers
oops, wait…I have a better picture
…and 3 cute fur kids
Some of the stuff you will find here is a conglomeration of my life including what God is teaching me, talk about raising teenagers and a few books that I feel are worth reading.
Now get your suit on and join us in the Hot tub! We are having a PARTY!
Thanks for stopping by ! I hope you will want to come back sometime soon!
Don’t forget to leave a comment here & sign up your blog with mr. linky so that I can visit you and so your name will get entered in the draw for a free CD. If you want to join in with the ultimate blog party or just want to visit some new blogs please visit 5 minutes for Mom
And if you are interesting in winning more prizes head on over to Christian Women Online and check out all the cool free stuff they are offering to celebrate their 2nd anniversary
Love your blog! Keep blessing others with your gift of song. What an accomplishment! I’m sure God smiles as you make others smile.

I don’t know – if I remember right the first picture of the teenagers is probably the most accurate picture
– great party! I’m just hopping through but I’ll try to stop by again soon!

Hi there, I think I could learn a lot from you! I am a Christian mom to three girls (all little right now) – I’m a little afraid of the teen years! Nice to meet you
