Gettin out of my box...

It's been a while since I added...My husband is having the time of his life, this is his heartbeat...working on churhes and filling a need, also he is spending time with one of his closest friends, Bro Malone, and we get a chance to see the state of Washington. What a great experience this has been for us. We have been able to be in church with Bro. and Sis. Mayo as well. I loved hearing him talk about personal evangelism 101, last week. We have to connect with others and let the holy ghost do the talking, it will lead us to the hurting. Who have you touched lately? We are here to make a difference...witness and show the love of God! Last night he spoke on...if all you want is to know Jesus, then you will know suffering and pain, to truly know Him we have to die out and let go of our wants and desires and allow His plans to happen, not my will but thine. He loves us more than we love Him. Make a new consecration today.
We have also been priveledged to help in Wenatchee, that is where Bro. Tim and Sis. Kirsten King pastor. My husband has installed some finish and trim work around the windows and doors and made custom columns for the platform, including crown moldings the Kings have painted everything so beautifully, it looks fantastic! They are so excited and the Lord is moving, while we were there last week-end they had a covering service for the children and what a powerful move of God. Bro. King titled his message, Parents are you big enough?(of course we're not) The Lord sent His love down in a very sweet way, most of the children and parents had tears just running down their faces and they were praying for their families, praying with them was very special. Bro. King told us later that several people prayed thru and received a fresh holy ghost renewing. That is so awesome! I feel very blessed to have been a part of it all. Being around such wonderful people who love the Lord and love doing His work is such a blessing.

Getting out of my 'box' is a good thing. My prayer is...I will keep moving forward and enjoying the new season in my life. Thanks babe, for helping me 'out'. I love you always.

This Is The Day The Lord Has Made~So Rejoice!

This is the day the Lord has made I will regoice and be glad in it. It's a choice...everyday and throughout that day to make right choices and remember where the lines are drawn. I'm not always a success with my choices..but a made up mind to NEVER give up and keep trying get me back on track. I am big on using key phrases to keeep focus, one of my favs is...I can do this for ____ time, nothing lasts forever. Especially if its a job I don't want to do. But to remind myself to rejoice today is easy because I start going down my Blessing list, even if its raining and money is tight, with Jesus on my side...HOW CAN I LOSE?
What is challenging is when I try and encourage people who don't want to be encouraged and OMW shoot down every good word, I DO NOT choose to live that way!! Why would anyone?? Don't get me wrong somedays are very heavy, but as a child in Sunday School I learned to count my Blessing, name them one by one. I believe it works, try it! With every negative thought or comment counter with a positve comeback both to yourself or others. It takes practice but IT will happen and its easier to handle your day. When my kiddos get to be too much....I'm Blessed to be a mom! When money is tight...I'm Blessed to live in a country that has many opportunities, and on it goes but the biggest motivator is...I KNOW A GOD WHO LOVES ME AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE...check out Jeremiah 29:11...what an encouraging word!
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
