PREPARING FOR THE CHOCTAW TRIP


Saturday it is! We leave Saturday 
for the Choctaw Mission Trip! 

How excited we are! How ready are we? My heart is certainly ready! But the team stuff and my stuff, not so much. Well, I am close and here I sit writing this. I had better get moving.

I have been working hard on and off for a year since Bert, my husband, and I are the team leaders. I couldn't do it without Jesus leading and guiding me all the way. He is my hope and my stay (from Hymn-My Hope is Built, verse 3).

Every year the team comprises some of the same people-Praise the Lord!-and many new people-Praise the Lord again. This trip is a great first mission trip. We don't go too far (6 hours from Chattanooga) and it doesn't cost a lot of money. To check out trip info (this year's), go to:

Soon after we get back from this trip, I will try to update the website for the 2017 trip. We go every year and this team has been serving God in this same place since 1985. All this and more is on the website.

I will stop now and get busy finishing getting it all together. 

I may post a little before we get to Mississippi but officially the trip blog will start on Sunday, June 26. Since this is my personal blog also, feel free to go back over the years and check it out and see what God has done, it is surely not me. 

God is good all the time and 
all the time God is good!

Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with 
praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the 
Psalm 100:4-5 

Please pray for us and give God all the glory, for He alone is worthy! 

I am finally stopping! Please check back later. I will keep you posted!

Have a blessed day!

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...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
