Dear Xanga friends...I'm sorry to say that with responsibilities and priorities in my life, i'm not committed as much to updating xanga.  With that said, I'm going to bid farewell for now as indeed God has some things for me to focus on in the next phase of my journey.  if I can serve/bless you in anyway, please let me know via email:

angie.ibarra@sbcglobal.net

I sure have enjoyed my time with each of you.  May His grace sustain you as you follow hard after Him!

Be used for His purposes and know that I will always cheer you all the way.  If I don't see you this side of eternity, I pray we will embrace there!

4 DAYS TILL BATTLECRY SAN FRANCISCO!

Read a Message from Ron Luce:

You may already know that next Saturday at the Battlecry event we are starting at 8:30 in the morning with a time of prayer and worship. This is the same schedule as the Battlecry event last year.

BUT, something has just happened over the past few days that would prevent this worship service. The city of San Francisco has imposed a last minute noise ordinance restricting any use of our sound system until 10 AM. This means that there can be no amplification of the worship band, no way for teens or anyone to hear and be led in prayer and worship.

This ordinance is directed specifically at our teenagers and our event this weekend. We don’t know the motivation of the city, but we can’t let the voices of 25,000 teenagers in worship to God be silenced.

We will honor the law and lawmakers, but we will not let these voices be stopped.

So here is what we are planning to do. We have partnered with KFAX AM 1100 radio to broadcast a special "Rise Up" worship session led on-stage from the Battlecry event. We will have 25,000 teenagers raising their voices in prayer and worship unified at the stadium through the sounds from their radios that we are asking everyone to bring.

Imagine a worship service where thousands of youth groups are gathered together across the stadium praying and praising God together. They will see the worship band and the video screens, but hear nothing through the sound system... only through their radios. I don’t think any Christian gathering in this country has ever been forced to do anything like this before.

Now, here is what I’m asking you to do this Sunday at your church’s morning service. We want to invite all the adults, all the parents, all the senior pastors, all the church leadership from your church to join us for this special service on Saturday morning INSIDE THE STADIUM. Every Christian, every adult who loves and supports these teens, everyone who believes these voices shouldn’t be silenced needs to be there. There will be absolutely no admission charge for this special worship service.

Please ask your pastor if you can make this special announcement in your service and get a count of how many adults from your church will come. Then call us at 1-877-650-6515 and let us know that number so we can plan for the thousands that will surely join these 25,000 teens.

This is a crucial time in our fight for this generation. Thank you and your church for standing up for the voices of teenagers.

If you have any questions, or know that there are additional people from your church that would like to come, please call us immediately at 1-877-650-6515.

God bless you and this entire teenage generation,

Ron Luce

P.S. We are asking all attendees to bring their small, hand-held radios to the event.

“Let it never be said that we lost a generation because we were not willng to sacrifice as much as the destroyers of youth culture.”  Ron Luce

 My Joselito's 50th Birthday bash was amazing.  God met us in our backyard with 60 dear friends and family from church.  It was a beautiful time.  Crystal ministered a beautiful song in dance for her Daddy and Candice created a beautiful powerpoint show and booklet for our guests.

God is forever faithful!

Avalon - Greatest Story

Some days your own resolve is strong
And other days you bend
it's two steps forward, one step back
and a stumble now and then
You wonder if you'll ever reallymake the difference
you've prayed that you will
Well, I know that prayer will be fulfilled 'cause

(CHORUS)
Your life woven day by day
is a new design of the glory God displays
on the canvas of creation
Through the poem of history
in the pattern of redemption
running through the tapestry
Your life in Christ can be
the greatest story ever told

You cannot see the hands of God
or feel the grace that flows
from Him through you to those you touch
In ways you'll never know
you cannot measure worth by human standards
That's always a lie
oh, you have to seethrough heaven's eyes how...

(CHORUS)

Bridge:
In the light of eternity
Standing face to face you willfinally see
for the very first time you'llunderstand
your perfect place in the master plan andhow...

(CHORUS)
