A Promise I Needed At Midnight

THE HOLY WAY
Is. 35:8 "And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way.
v.9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous best come up on it; they shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk on it.
v.10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
[Amplified Version]
It exists! It's real, a true path for me that leads to everlasting JOY! For me! I am amazed that the Lord cared enough to keep me wide awake weeee hours in the morning to receive a promise that I desperately needed. You see, it's been an incredible what some would say; "ride"! I knew when we accepted our Lords call into the ministry including also for me to be a home school mom (that means a stay-at-home-mama): that life would have its struggles for sure. But, WOW! [Yet, I must say there have been far more rewards!]
This past year,  just a few months ago we lost our house because of this lovely recession (though we NEVER missed a payment); presently facing another type of foreclosure and my husband not getting work for months on hand. We have such a longing to do so much more in the ministry that it literally HURTS! Presently, my dh is facing surgery now...we see souls hurting and needing ministered to, the believers needing to be taught and a lot of work to do with the outreach ministry of our church, gobs and gobs of stuff. Yet, we find our hands tied to do nothing.
One thing I know I shouldn't do is ---DWELL ON ME. The Lord has taught me this over and over again. Lately, He has had me listen almost daily to: When I Think About the Lord . Man! When I do that--everything seems to flow right where they are suppose to be giving me His Peace and Contentment.
You see that is the HOLY WAY! When this happens, again I am filled with that 'everlasting joy'! God, You are too good to me! Thank You! I hold tightly to this Word from You!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THgccy_EyFY

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                       ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
