GOD IS GREAT AGAIN AND AGAIN!







Good morning to you!

I pray that you are as blessed as I am. Last night was amazing. Right before we drove into the driveway at Great Spirit Church it started raining, I mean pouring. The drops were like 50 cent pieces. And it poured and poured buckets for about 20 minutes and the sun was out part of the time. We were there a little early in order to take our team picture outside by the brick church sign. Well, we ended up taking it in the sanctuary. It was pretty wild.

Then the whole outside was mud and wet grass and standing water and we have two outside classrooms. Well, it dried up pretty fast and a bit of mud was tracked inside but the Bible school itself was really good. We had 117 tonight with 17 of those in the adult class.

What amazed me the most is the youth boys class. We have 11 Choctaw teenage boys who are the best behaved and sweet and artistic and want to be there. When I asked about stickball practice one boy said that he would rather be at Vacation Bible School instead of practice. These are Native American teenage boys and they want to be here. Wow! God is amazing!

And I am so thankful that God is so good and so awesome and so faithful. And I love Him so much.
I kind of had a meltdown yesterday. Sort of but not a full blown one. I am more OCD or perfectionist than I thought. After most of a year of planning, etc., when I don't do something right (that I think is right) it really gets to me and I get mad at myself. When I forget to do something or forget to bring something I or we need, then it gets to me. But God has always worked everything out. He is so good! And we have done without when I thought we couldn't.
So, remember that you are very special and Jesus loves you!

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...
