God’s Agenda vs Our Agenda

Self sacrifice for the sake of God’s Purposes! 
Phil 2:7 ‘Jesus emptied Himself to take on the form of a slave!!!’

WE LIVE FOR PROSPERITY, POSITION, SECURITY, FRIENDS, & COMFORT.
Would if we are to lay all of this down for what God has in mind?
Except for a grain of wheat falls and dies... crops come forth. Jn 12:24
Would if life has to be uncomfortable? 
Hard?  Lonely? “Our surrender to God’s Plan is a statement that we will not live for these things!” (Keathley)
Yet, in it He gives deep strength & peace that weathers the storms, plus joy in the face of pain and sorrow! Life as God’s children was meant for this!
Oh for the thousands who have surrendered a life of comfort (ease), stature (position), friends and even family to accept the call to places and people so they may die, fall, be buried and produce more fruit feeding souls to greater nourishment by leading them into eternity! 
My friends; this is HARD! 
Personally; God led us to places of many difficulties. As I look back; I know we were supposed to be there! We may never see on this earth the fruit till we are in our eternal home. But, to know we laid down financial gain, being surrounded by friends and family, and experienced many hurts; ALL FOR THE SAKE OF THE CALL! 
It is worth being obedient!
Many have come and gone in our lives; but Jesus has never left us! He affirms us, as we walk with Him on the narrow, lonely journey to places and people Who need Him and His Love!
May there be a renewed commitment to self sacrifice for souls to know Jesus in places many do not go! ~ Daneille Snowden

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. ...
