Rhonda's New Year Ramblings
Rhonda Hendrix • February 1, 2023

I love The fall weather and the changes October normally brings. 

Except...

We live in Texas so I can’t say it’s always a SURE thing to have Fall weather in October! 

If you don’t like todays weather just hang on, it will change. Ha


October 1, we were invited to participate in a fundraiser for the Tawakani Fire department, in ……you guessed Tawakani TX right on the lake. Was gorgeous. Was hot. Andrew went with us, graciously filling in for Ranessa as he was 1 week post op from back surgery. 

I Appreciated the Spirit for helping me give a short testimony. 

Normally wouldn’t on an outdoor sing…. However, when prompted by the Spirit, you don’t say no!!

I found out later that God used the testimony to minister to folks way across the field, I didn’t even know was there. But HE did. I love his orchestration.


The next day, we were at Hickory Creek Baptist for their 104 homecoming. Awesome time. And meal. Loved our new friends!


Since Ranessa had back surgery the end of September, she was able to get pictures made with us, in Ft Worth, while we were out there for a couple of services. Bro. Rick Nethery was so patient with us and took us to a really neat outdoor park/historical site. We wound up in the barn; in front of the windmill; in front of the antique tractor; we had a blast! Loved our photos. You’ll see if you visit our gallery.

The next morning we sang at bro. Nethery’, in Newark, and the Lord so graciously helped us and many came forward for healing; and one for salvation. God is wanting all of us to be victorious. He went so far as to send Jesus the only begotten, and reminded us that “I LOVE YOU” is everlasting, but it’s nice to be reminded!


That evening we “laid before the lord” for a few minutes in Knob Hill’s parking lot before setting up for an awesome, outstanding healing service. Many. Got help. 

I’m so grateful for the faithfulness of God.

Those folks are so talented, they fed me, and us, and they didn’t need Hendrix Trio at all, but thank the Lord for the gracious invitation.

We loved it.


Well. Gilmer Yamboree is some of most favorite places to go and sing with other artists. “Cornbread John” makes the whole experience a funny, uplifting event.  Long time member of the Hendrix trio Dustin May; brought wife Wendy, his mom, and son to be with us. We got to eat at the infamous Mexican restaurant in Gilmer and visit as much as we had time for, before having to be back to sing again.


God was there, and we got to know & enjoy the ministry of some new faces . “8th street” for one.

The guys from Oklahoma. Great sound. 

Bobby played a tune with they and also with Marlin Dorsey’s group. Bro. Bobby so good!!

November we got to go back to Mesquite for services with Heavensound Trio, and then over to LuElla FBC. 

With Ranessa back, it was such a pleasure to have her stand beside me

Once again. God has really helped her. Thank you for all of your prayers. It’s the strength your prayers give, we live by them.

We had a little issue with the power on stage at LuElla, and our tracks kept going off, then bro. Bobby would reset and we would go right on. 

The fine friends, at LuElla were patient and clapped right along with us. Music or not. Come to find out we had plugged into an older plug onstage that had a short.


We got to sing right in town at the Cathedral Heights church of the Nazerine, in November. The first time for us to sing there. Mr. And Carolyn Benesh hosted us. We loved them. We made many new friends.


Oh what a week. 

Thanksgiving is our “unplugged” weekend. But before we turned those phones off, pastor Peek got us! 

We got to plug back up and make our way over to Ida, LA to worship with Victory Tabernacle. They are always, so gracious.

we are blessed.


We had an awesome Christmas tour, with The Eubanks. Friday night began in Texarkana. It was a great evening and the smallest crowd I have ever entertained here in Texarkana. I was discouraged; but Jesus is who we sing for. Not the applause of man, so we pulled up our boot straps and marched right up to Wickes AR, for an evening of Christmas worship, at the Pentecostal Church of God.

Once again with our friends, Back Roads Revival, but we ate a quick PCG sandwich and the night was short as we made our way over to Hugo, OK. 

Bro. Brown at Hugo AG allows us to plug our RV in, when we are in the area, and this weekend being no different. 

After service, we got a quick “shut eye” and in to Blossom to the Church of God, where The Eubanks did an outstanding job as usual. 

God met us in both altars.

I am so humbled, and I’m so thankful he has entrusted the Gospel to us.

Family was the icing on our cake. Christmas is the ultimate family time. We celebrate Jesus’s birthday, but every day is a Jesus day. 

We got to sing again at Central Mall, 

Ashley brought our youngest grand girl, Milana, and she jammed and jigged to all the songs with any beat! She loves music.


Speaking of grand girls….Gracelynn is 8 going on 16. Seems like she has grown up so much since the baby has been born. She is one of the best big sisters ever!

Thanks for allowing me to ramble, but to be honest, I want to do this once a month so they are not so long winded!!

Hopefully I can follow the light with that goal!

Until then. Keep looking up. Our redemption is on His way.
