Welp, that was quick!!

 Psalm 27:14 Wait for and confidently expect the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.  

This verse the Lord has been speaking to me on repeat for days.  And what's funny is the word He gave me at the 1st of the year, is Patience!!!  Oh, that's so hard to have when you need Him to show up!!   LOL! 

Last weekend we were invited to the lake with some friends.   If you haven't been to Flathead Lake here in MT, you have missed out on such incredible beauty.   It's so awesome it's just a
few hours away.     

Well, on the way there, we got a call from a  realtor saying they were showing the house on Saturday.   And this Saturday that just passed, the house was under contract and inspections were completed.  Wow!  That was fast.   There is very little communication with the landlord on details, but we know that our lease is not up until end of July.  So we are counting on having the next 2 months to find a suitable place to live and pack!    The good news is (hopefully) since the house is sold, we won't have to deal with any further showings.  We should be able to live peaceably until we exit. 

 

We have been looking for rentals and there is absolutely NOTHING in our budget range or that will accommodate what we need.  

We are trusting that God will open the door HE has for us - and we are believing that it will be our destiny doors!   That is how we are asking people to pray.  We don't know His plan, but He has been definitely speaking to us and giving us "signs" that we will be moving into the fullness of what He's called us to.   So, we contend for what we hear and trust Him for the outcome!   

The other exciting thing is that I have been staying in 1st/2nd in the Favorite Chef Competition.  It's all based on popular vote right now.  So, if you are voting, please continue to do so and if you haven't, please start!  If I were to win, I get $25,000, plus featured in Taste of Home Magazine and on a cooking show in New York.  I am really hoping to win to further my culinary skills, but to afford the publishing of the cookbook I am writing now and possibly the other books, I have been working on.   https://favchef.com/2025/michele-cole

This is a meal I made for part of the competition.  We had to use any Kings Hawaiian product and take pictures.  This was homemade teriyaki elk burgers with grilled pineapple, or mango or caramelized onions and jalapeños with sliced avocado on a Kings Hawaiian roll.   There's a local barbecue joint here that branded the MC on the buns for me (the restaurant is called Moose Creek).  That was Ken's idea.  We also made a coconut milk, pineapple, cilantro & ginger coleslaw.  And a Jackfruit Lemonade using Thrive Life's jackfruit.  So delicious!   

We covet your prayers and appreciate your support!   

Oh - and this prophetic word was published today.  I had started this blog yesterday with the Scripture posted above... and then today say this and it resonated so deeply in My spirit because almost verbatim what the Lord has been speaking to me.    So encouraging. 

THIS IS NOT THE END IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR DESTINY!

I know that this word is lengthy and normally don't go to the extent of writing a long word, but I encourage you to take the time to read it. I sensed that it will truly bless many.

​Many have been in the biggest transition of their lives. Things from the past have been resurfacing, the agony and pain of what you have walked through comes to remembrance. The things that were lost and stolen, and the years it has taken to get to this moment in your life, where you are finally at the cusp of stepping into the fullness of your destiny. It seems that many things have come to end, feeling of displacement, and the asking of what's next? What now Lord? 

The Lord is restoring your strength, birthing a greater boldness and confidence in you that can only be birthed through Him. There is deep work of the Holy Spirit happening that is making room for what He is about to bring forth. Not only is He bringing forth what He has promised but there is increase, provision, favor, and promotion upon you. I felt the Lord saying that He is about to show you His goodness, and that He did not forget what He promised. While many have waited for this appointed time to come, I felt the Lord saying that not only is His timing is here but it is coming with interest from the waiting, there has been a great increase added to the promises.

I was reminded of this verse in Psalms.
Psalms 27:13-14 'I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

You may have been hidden for a long time, and have felt that all you do is wait, linger, but the time has come to be revealed, to emerge, and coming forth carrying His power to go forth and do all that the Lord has called you to do. Timing is truly everything. 

What the Lord has many birthing right now is not a small feat, it is the greatest birthing and transition that you have yet to encounter. It is imperative that you allow the Lord to do what He needs to do right now, as you do is bringing you forth over this significant threshold -- where destiny is awaiting you on the other side.

I was also reminded of this verse in Isaiah.
Isaiah 66:9 " Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the Lord. "Or shall I who give delivery shut the womb?" say your God.

YOU WILL RISE AGAIN IN GREATER STRENGTH

Many have felt like they got the wind knocked out of them, through the many trials and warfare, but you are rising up from the ashes with greater strength and endurance than you have ever known that can only be found in Christ. You will walk into all that the Lord has for you. 

Things are falling into place and coming together, I saw these next few months being pivotal of such alignment, strategic moves and the Lord positioning many for greater breakthrough and to step through the doors He has prepared for many. He is bringing the right help that you need for these new assignments, He is ordering your steps and movements to be in the right place at the right time. 

For some of you, as this is not a word I would normally share. But He is bringing end-time marriages together, He is brining your helpmate. Many of you can only go so far into your calling and the Lord knows you need your helpmate to go further. I felt this strongly from the Lord they are on the way, the timing for these divine unions are in this moment and timeline of this new era that we are in. I felt this sudden urgency from the Lord to get your house in order, finishing things up, prepare, and get ready to cross paths with your helpmate. 

The title of this word says that this is not the end, and it isn't although it appears that way. However, this is where you are suppose to be in this moment of time, many don't make it into fulfilling the fullness of their destiny, because the painfulness of the process to get their is honestly hard. You are at the cusp of the beginning, and there is colossal change get ready to manifest.

I want to encourage you with this, I sensed this strongly about the next few months. The Lord is bringing many things that He has spoken forth. It will be one thing after another coming to pass, and it will be just as He said and promised it would be! Stay yielded, stand, and stay in faith that the your Kairos appointed time is here.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.  

What's Next Lord? Here We Go Again!!!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight!

Have you ever had the phone ring and a pit immediately formed in your stomach?   

For the past few months Ken and I both have been sensing "change".   We have been feeling something shift in the spirit but not really knowing what.   Normally, I sense it first....and then when Ken does whatever "it" is, soon becomes reality.   I don't know why God typically tells me first other than maybe He knows that I'm a planner.  I need time to prepare.   Where Ken is more spontaneous and goes with the flow.  

When the Lord first showed us Montana, it was New Year's Eve and we were watching a show called Cedar Cove.  Mostly watched it because it had such beautiful scenery.  Filmed in British Columbia, Canada but portrayed off the coast of Seattle.   I remember that night watching the show and I said to the Lord,  "Why don't you move us some place like that to do the vision You have for us instead of boondocks Missouri?"   And that was the beginning stages of our move here to BEAUTIFUL MONTANA!    When we crossed over state line - my
spirit leapt and it sensed we were HOME!!   (I even have the shirt to prove it, lol).    The Lord would have to pry me out of here...and especially our Valley.  I told Him I wanted to die here!   

A couple of nights ago, I was lying in bed unable to sleep and I had a similar feeling as when I was watching that show Cedar Cove.  I said to the Lord, "How much longer must we be in this house, in the city and not in the destiny you have for us?"    Well, yesterday, He decided to answer that question.   My phone rang.  It was our landlord.  Let me first start by saying she has only called us one other time and that was to schedule a time to meet with us and sign a new lease and raise the rent.   So, a pit began to form when I saw her name on the caller id.   I answered the phone and her first comments were, "would you like to buy the house?"   My response, was I wish we could afford too because I knew where the conversation was heading.  She went on to say that they decided to sell then house and asked when a realtor could come take pictures.   My stomach dropped!  The floor is falling out from under us once again!! 

Let me give you some back story.   When the Lord first showed us moving away from Kansas City to El Dorado Springs, MO - we had 60 days notice to pack and find a new place to live.  The night before our move, our movers called and asked us where they were taking our belongings and our response was can we let you know in the morning because we did NOT know yet!!   We ended up living in temporary housing for 3 weeks and stored our stuff until a rental opened up.   

Next we lived in that house for five months.  The landlord called us one day and said we are selling the house.  We had a lease but that didn't matter.  The house sold instantly.  We still had no place to go on a Wednesday and we had to be out by Sunday.   On Saturday, we found a rental and moved in.   That was pretty intense!! 

Next when God was moving us from that last house in Missouri to Montana.  He told us we were moving 3 years in advance.  However, it wasn't until two months before the actual move before we could find a place to rent.  We rented sight unseen.   We had to and gladly chose to give up probably 95% of all our belongings to keep costs down on moving and to fit in the small place that opened up.     We were thankful because no one wanted to rent to us here unless we had jobs and no one would give us jobs without living here.  The rent was double what we were used too but this was the only open door!   But God!!!  

Next we lived in that place for about 2.5 years.  Had a great relationship with our landlord or so we thought.  The wife even came to our home group.   But one night we got a text and were told we had to be out in 30 days.   They wouldn't talk to us, wouldn't give us a reason just blatantly and rudely said get out.  Even had us served papers to be out.    So for the next 30 days desperately trying to find a place to live - nothing in this area was affordable and really nothing available. But with less than 2 weeks to spare, God opened up this home we are in now.  Again, the rent doubled and God came through.  It has served us well.  It was truly an answer to prayer for more space to host home group and entertain and show hospitality.    When we moved into this place, I asked the Lord if we could please, please stay here until such time He moves us into destiny.   And when that time came, not to rush it, not to have it be chaotic and stressful but that we could slip out with ease!   

We've been feeling the "grace" lift on this place. Not because it's a bad home or anything.  We are content here.  It's just the feeling we get when we know God is about to do something new.   He has been giving us tell tale signs He's used in the past, so why were we shocked?  

Well, the call came as you heard above.   We have to move out!  As far as I know we have until end of July, but will keep you posted!   That's when our lease is up but we know from previous experience how that might not be the case.  

Fear wants to take over my thought life but as I look back, I can see God's hand in every move. I can see how He has upgraded us each time and the provision for the increases were there.   We don't know our next steps yet other than PACKING!!   I am asking God in prayer to please reveal our next spot before the end of this month, so we know exactly how to pack or whether we have to get rid of stuff again.    There is a great tension of excitement and adventure but also of stress, chaos and hopelessness.     

We are taking this day by day...trusting God for His provision.  We are trusting the perfect place will open up to us.  We are praying and believing for His promises to come to pass in our lives!!     Please be in agreement with us for a beautiful next step! 

In the meantime, we continue to host home group, bless others with encouraging words and ministry and host people in our home.   

Prayer requests/praise reports!  

I've been struggling with some pretty severe pain still in my back, my feet and little to no sleep.   I've been begging God to take me home if healing isn't part of His plan.  I am weary on every level.  Soul tired!   Finances have been super tight and wondering how rent will get paid next month.  I've been applying for jobs and God has been keeping the doors shut tight!   I feel He wants me to write my books which I'm working on my cookbook now but that doesn't pay the bills. OH and  I begin a contest Favorite Chef 3/31.. so if you want to vote for me daily, that would be great!  https://favchef.com/2025/michele-cole.  If I win, I get $25,000... featured in Taste of Home Magazine and get to cook with a professional chef!   

Ken is still painting full time.  He is feeling grace departing from that as well...but stays plugging along until such time God has something different.  His boss is really good to him and he doesn't mind the work.   Ken is having to have much more dental work.  He just got his first crown being done from his emergency dental procedure last October.  That's another huge expense... that only God can fund!   The end of April, he will have more work done and the dentists is offering to do free in a clinical setting with other dentists watching.  So that's one way God helps provide for us.  

Our car - the infiniti that kind of died (just not safe to drive)... long story short it's possible we have friends that think they have found the part needed.  The part is not made anymore -which is weird for a 2006... and so it's a needle in a haystack.     We would love to fix the car so we can sell it along with the other one and upgrade.  Both cars are old and high mileage.   We would love something newer and a larger suv so we can get along with snowy weather better.      

Thank you for your prayers and support of what God is doing in and through us!! 

Hugs, love and prayers.

My Two Cents..... America!

 Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

Quote by John Wimber 

As I just blogged on America needing to repent and turn from their wicked ways....  there's more to it.  Progressive revelation I suppose.    

Over the weekend and through the election results, I have had a pit in my stomach.  Upset, gurgly (I know TMI) but I feel it was prophetic in nature.   Sure, it could have been a stomach bug or maybe I ate something, but in hindsight I feel the Lord was showing me something.    

For some months now, I have had a gnawing feeling.  It didn't really matter who was going to be elected, because either way it wasn't going to be good.   If Kamala was elected, we would see this country spiral at an even more accelerated rate into socialism and marxism.  Hyper inflation.  More and more people falling into poverty and homelessness.   Food shortages and eventually a control of the entire system.   

We are seeing "credit scoring" in other countries already.   If you don't do things exactly like the government expects, your score goes down and you don't quality for food this week or gas in your car.   America is heading speedily towards this.  

If Trump was elected and he has been now, I felt that the demonic would be unleashed on us in greater measure than we've ever seen.   It's already clear the evil agenda the other party has perpetuated on us.  LTBTQxyz or whatever those other letters are has become so in your face it's unbelievable.  Abortion activitist and its evil agenda is clear.   They have no regard for babies!   The devil is being celebrated by an alarming number of Americans!   You can't miss it.  So only imagine how dark and how evil it could  get now. 

The Democrats are not going to go down without a fight.   Trump is the lesser of two evils for sure.... but is he?  That's the gnawing question I've had for sometime now.  Is he really for America?  Is he part of the "plan".   He demonstrated in 2017-2021 that he had good motives in many ways.  He did more for America than any other president that I know of.  Was he trying to earn the American people's trust?   Is he legit?  Well, only the Lord knows for sure!  I want to believe the good, but as I've said there's been a pit in my stomach for a long while.  

I don't say I have all the answer by any means, but my "gut" the gift of discerning of spirits has been a gift God has been increasing in my life.  I have an innate knowing of what "might" be coming.   Many have been given this gift and it's uncanny the parallels we are all sensing.  

I was given this article recently and it's confirmed a lot of my concerns.   I encourage you to read it.  It was written pre-election, but it still relevant to what may be happening in America, sooner than we thought.   https://winepressnews.com/2024/11/05/fear-ye-not-me-saith-the-lord-americans-hysterical-over-election-outcome-but-have-no-fear-of-god-blackrock-says-it-doesnt-matter/

America deserves judgement.  And now that CI-128 was passed, the Lord is not going to turn a blind eye to that fact.  He does not bless sin!  He will not turn a blind eye to the "shedding of innocent blood".  He will not turn away from all the evil that we are seeing.    As I said in a previous blog, we, each one of us MUST turn from our sin and our wicked ways.  That is the only way He will heal our land.   We must fear the Lord and get back to the roots of what this country was founded on.  Biblical principles   A Biblical Worldview is VITAL.   It totally shocks me how so called Christians think it's ok to vote for abortion rights and think they can show up Sunday and call it good.  NO!!!!!!!!    

I'm not trying to be a doomsday conspiracy theorist....  I am just sharing from my heart.  There has been years of intercession crying out for God's people (including me) to have eyes to see and ears to hear.  I hear the babies crying (in the spirit).  I see Jesus weeping in my dreams.   How did we get this far away from the Lord.   We've become so comfortable in the pleasures of this world.  This is called the status-quo Church in the book of Revelation!   

I'm active in quite a few "prepper" groups on social media, primarily because the Lord told me to prepare His people for famine back in 2010 and since.   That's how I got started with michelecole.thrivelife.com offering long term food storage!   The point I want to make is that 100's of 1000's of people are in these groups - mostly non believers and it amazes me how many are preparing for end times, the apocalypse or the end of the world. Some are extreme!    I find it interesting that a new movie is coming out in December called Homestead!  Check it out here - https://www.angel.com/movies/homestead    I don't believe in coincidences.  The Lord is preparing those with eyes to see and ears to hear.   If you've read the article above - you will see that even he says that those with sin in their lives and are getting it out will be safe.  But for those that continue living in the world and like the world, their lives may come crashing down soon!   

Time is short.  What will you do? 

Thank you for your continued prayers for us!  We do appreciate it!  Luke 6:38 

Hugs, love and prayers.

God's Promise to Heal our Land

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land”

This verse is popular right now.  If you are on social media at all, this is what pops up on everyone's post.  

The other quote I see shared often is:  "People are waiting on God to heal the land when in reality God is waiting on the people to repent and turn from their wicked ways."  

This latter quote is reality.   As I have been praying for our country, I have been asking God to reveal and convict His people of anything wicked in us that is hindering Him healing our land.  This is key. 

Do we want another 4 years of our country going into socialism/marxism and everything evil?   I'm not saying that the other one running is going to save us either.  Only Jesus can save us.  Only Jesus can have mercy on us.   But voting for the most biblical candidate is our only choice.  We can't vote for abortions and show up to Church on Sunday and act as if we are true disciples of Christ.  I'm sorry.  That's truth!  We can't vote for an evil agenda that goes against so many biblical standards and say we love Jesus.   

Today I was reading in Ezekiel 7 from the Warehouse Blog-  It seems pretty close to where America is heading (or there).  Kind of sobering.... but I believe is a good hard TRUTH on what we may need to do for God to heal our land.  

The Day of the Wrath of the Lord

7 The word of the LORD came to me: “And you, O son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. Now the end is upon you, and I will send my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. And my eye will not spare you, nor will I have pity, but I will punish you for your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

“Thus says the Lord GOD: Disaster after disaster! Behold, it comes. An end has come; the end has come; it has awakened against you. Behold, it comes. Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come; the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting on the mountains. Now I will soon pour out my wrath upon you, and spend my anger against you, and judge you according to your ways, and I will punish you for all your abominations. And my eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst. Then you will know that I am the LORD, who strikes.

“Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has come; the rod has blossomed; pride has budded. Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them. The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude. For the seller shall not return to what he has sold, while they live. For the vision concerns all their multitude; it shall not turn back; and because of his iniquity, none can maintain his life.

“They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but none goes to battle, for my wrath is upon all their multitude. The sword is without; pestilence and famine are within. He who is in the field dies by the sword, and him who is in the city famine and pestilence devour. And if any survivors escape, they will be on the mountains, like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one over his iniquity. All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water. They put on sackcloth, and horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and baldness on all their heads. They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity. His beautiful ornament they used for pride, and they made their abominable images and their detestable things of it. Therefore I make it an unclean thing to them. And I will give it into the hands of foreigners for prey, and to the wicked of the earth for spoil, and they shall profane it. I will turn my face from them, and they shall profane my treasured place. Robbers shall enter and profane it.

“Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence. I will bring the worst of the nations to take possession of their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the strong, and their holy places shall be profaned. When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none. Disaster comes upon disaster; rumor follows rumor. They seek a vision from the prophet, while the law perishes from the priest and counsel from the elders. The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the people of the land are paralyzed by terror. According to their way I will do to them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Ezekiel 7 Commentary

by Brad Boyles

The Babylonians invaded Judah twice but the people could not comprehend the severity of the destruction. It’s like they could not connect the dots. They couldn’t see the connection between their sin and the oncoming judgment by their enemies. This is where Ezekiel comes in.

For about 20 years, Ezekiel consistently spelled out the cost of sin and the coming wrath of God. It was not pretty. By and large, the people remained stubborn and willful in their sinning. It’s hard to believe. As I thought about this section this morning, the statement of “You will know that I am God” resonated from previous chapters.

The God of grace and truth delivers both. However, at the final judgment, we will either know His wrath or His grace. Both of these characteristics of God will reveal that He is indeed Lord over all. It is ultimately a question of wills. Do we willfully continue in our disobedience or do we accept grace as a means to repent and change?

Some may argue that we are all sinners regardless of if we believe or not. Sinning is always a willful choice. Though it is true, as Christians, there is quite a large difference between consistent, calloused disobedience and struggling through conviction and repentance. We are either moving towards grace or we are moving towards wrath. Just like the people of Judah, we all will know that He is Lord. The question is, will we know grace through Jesus or will He turn to us and say, “I never knew you?”

God promises to heal our land BUT there's a catch - we must turn from our WICKED WAYS.  We must humbly seek Him and repent for anything that is in our lives that is not in alignment with God's Truth.   This country deserves judgement...and I believe we are seeing some of that.  

 Here are some things God hates?  Any of these in our lives?  

• Pride: Pride is the original sin, and God hates it. The Bible says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). 
• Lying: God judges all words, and hates lying. 
• Innocent blood: God loves and wants people to protect the innocent. 
• Wicked schemes: God knows what people think and sees the plans and purposes that are conceived in the souls of all people. 
• Idols: God hates idols because they make false statements about him and damage people.  
• Unfaithfulness: God hates unfaithfulness, rebellion, and false worship. 
• Arrogance: God hates arrogance and corrupt speech. 
• Wickedness: God hates wickedness and wrongdoing

This verse also points out some things God doesn't like:  1 Corinthians 6:9-10

The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. This includes those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners

Here's a great prayer we can pray to begin this process - don't delay - do it now!  Pause now and pray this prayer and wait on the Lord to reveal anything?   

Psalm 139:23-24 

Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
2 See if there is any offensive way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting.

Prayer & Praise Reports

1. Ken's teeth are healing up from his trip to Mexico. He had a root canal, tooth extraction and bone graft. Once completely healed, he will need to have 4 crowns still.  We are trying to find a dentist here that will allow us to use a lab in KC.  One of Ken's former co-workers has offered to do his crowns for free.  That would save us $1000's.  

2.  We are still looking for a needle in a haystack when it comes to a part for our car.  The car is drivable but we been cautioned by every mechanic not to drive it as safety issue.   So it sits.  However, the Lord blessed us with a new used van 215000 miles on it... but was gifted to us.  We are so thankful.  I never imagined driving a van and it's definitely a learning curve.  I love the interior space it has.  So more room for Trader Joe road trips.  LOL!!! 

3.  About a month ago, the Lord revealed to me I was living in co-dependency.   It's a term I had heard but knew little about.   I jumped in with both feet and realized from so much trauma in my childhood and life, I was in idolatry.  Ouch!  That's one of those things God hates (listed above).   I have  repented and have seen some incredible healing in this area.  Praise God! 

4.  Please continue to pray for my health.  Pain levels are extreme.  So weary!  But know that one day God will heal me.  

5.  Please pray for some open door for me to be able to find work.  With my health, it's so limited.  I've searched high and low for online work but doors don't open.   I would love to increase my Thrive Life business and doing all I can there..   For us to survive w/o debt, I really need to be able to make enough to pay our rent.  Ken's income covers the rest.   

Thank you for your continued prayers for us!  We do appreciate it!  Luke 6:38 

Hugs, love and prayers.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
