Egypt

Used to be the only thing I knew of Egypt was a three phrase saying that was'nt worth repeating and at times can still catch myself referring to some far off the beaten path as such.. As I am learning of other countries I am shocked that people truly have to live with such suffering and fear.. We here in the America
do not know what suffering is!!

2nd time

I deleted the post I originally wrote today. Why ? I did not follow my heart and it has bothered me all day. I really wanted to write about the awesome people God has placed in my life,family and friends, I want to tell them how much they mean to me and that I Love them. Why ? We never know if we will get another chance, I don't want to be that person that always waits and says great things about the special people in their lives at their funeral, I want to tell them and thank them for encouraging me or maybe just being friendly, a kind jesture of recognition or waving as they pass by, a beautiful smile, or those really special people who have shared and taught you life lessons that stay with you forever.. The little ones that melt your heart with just a look,... Lord thank you for blessing me beyond what I could ever think or imagine ...

I hear that Whisper I Love You !

Warm Fuzzy

Is that what we expect when we tell god use me. Are we willing to serve when its not fun or rewarding or appreciated, maybe uncomfortable and looks hopeless ?
Nothing is impossible for God to those who believe. Do we serve only when we see rewards or recognition, some sort of payback, that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you do something good and it feels good.. I am reading tortured for Christ and how amazing to see that no matter what kind of torture, even death, there are christians who will not stop stepping up, Glorifying Christ and sharing the gospel message and loving there captors. Its that question could I ? Would I ? Lord so fill me with the Holy Spirit that I can confidently answer yes I will stand For you, to glorify you and share the gospel message in any circumstance..

Tortured for Christ

A book Im reading and I qoute... "the very truth to which we bear witness comes at a great cost- it can cost us our reputation, popularity, and prestige. It may even cost us our families, friends, or our lives. But the message of our witness is so powerful that we are exhorted to lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, in order to run with endurance the "race"that god has set before us in our life".
The message of Christ's witness is also not confined to physical borders or limitations.

Moved to tears and action...........

Well God

where do you start. Maybe its just help where you can , be a friend and leave the rest to God ? Its been some time since I was in the presence of someone who was so caught up in addiction and gambling and I guess just worldly and sinful things with absolutely no thought of anything except their own selfish desires... But for the Grace of God there go I .. Ouch! Please pray this is really not a nice place to be and not something I like in my own home...

Gone Fishin

What a message we recieved Sunday ! How are your fishin skills ? What kind of bait do you use ? what is a bad day fishin ? Do you catch and release , or do you keep and clean and make the fish you catch useful ? I recently caught a few fish, all three were quite messy and cleaning was not going to be an easy job, God prompted me I will seek him as to what my part will be in cleaning them. The first fish was washed with some fresh clean water and the mess seemed to start to clean away without a lot of work. The second fish however has a pretty tough skin and has been up many rivers that tossed it about and it is battered and bruised, may have to soak this fish in some fresh crisp water. The third fish needs just a little TLC and it should be Ok. I have gone fishin this week and as we all know fishing is rewarding, now I need a little relaxing. The catch is just the beginning with a little Love and a lot of God all three of these fish will be released.....God help me so I dont eat them !

Visit prison in an envelope

I have been part of the prison pen pal ministry since 2003. I have written a woman who was released after almost 2 years of correspondence never to hear from her again. At the present time I write to 3 woman on death row, Three woman who are in prison for some of the most horrible crimes I know of. My God speaks to my heart and says they are sinners, hate the sin love the sinner. I also write a woman who will be released in less than a year. I have a family member and now a friend who just recently went back or will be needing mail in prison. I was taught certain things about writing to strangers in prison that doesnt apply to those we know, but we need to have the correct info before writing anyone incarcerated for numerous reasons. If anyone wishes I have pamphlets and a dvd with great info for those who wish to serve. I have been so blessed by this ministry I hope some of you feel called to join the ministry..
