I need about 500 votes to ADVANCE!  WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP.    The winner takes 25,000, featured in Taste of Home Magazine & cooks with Carla Hall in New York.   I believe this would also open doors of opportunity for us to open a bistro! 

Where are we moving?  We don't know YET.  The Lord has to show us! 

We are still contending for THE LORD to open doors for our destiny.   We have looked at a few rentals - none of which fit our budget or needs.   We've been praying for God to keep or shut all doors that are not meant for us and OPEN ONLY the door He has for us.  We are not praying for a rental.  But if that's the door, we'll walk through it.  So far every rental door has shut! 

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.

You Are My Safe Refuge

O God, listen to my cry!
    Hear my prayer!
2 From the ends of the earth,
    I cry to you for help
    when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3     for you are my safe refuge,
    a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4 Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
    safe beneath the shelter of your wings!  
Psalm 61:1-4 NLV  


Are you feeling a bit frazzled?  Maybe I should say who hasn't been overwhelmed lately?  

These past weeks have been a whirlwind of overwhelming circumstances.  
- A sister got diagnosed with a brain aneurysm - awaiting results of brain angioplasty to determine next step....none of which are without great risk.  And the doctor said since two of my siblings have now had aneurysm's - all of the remaining siblings should be tested as their is a high probability of has having one.  (Not receiving this curse in my spirit) 

- A brother had a heart attack and had a stent put in.  His "widow maker" artery was 99% blocked! By God's grace, he's alive!!  He's only 2 years older than me. 

- Same brother's wife also had a heart attack and had stents put in and has to return for more stents in 30 days.

- A brother fell down some steps and broke his knee in half and the recovery/rehab will be long, painful and with chance of not a favorable outcome.

- Ken's father suddenly not well, went to ER and 5 day hospital stay with a serious blood infection (and still getting daily iv treatments) AND discovered a leaky heart valve awaiting doctor's visit for next step.

Ha ha!  (maybe I do look like this)

- Another sister - ongoing for 2.5 years rapid weight loss- still no diagnosis and is not able to eat much or drink more than 500 calories a day without painful side effects.  

- A brother in law with cancer and treatments are winding down.  

-I already told you this - but we have to move our stuff out of ladies basement and into storage and this weekend is the time.  It's not just moving it - we have to HEPA vacuum, wipe and spray with mold killer every box (and possibly it's contents) before we can load to store in storage unit.  The logistics surrounding all this has been intense.  

-You've heard this before - but Canyon, our dog, is still in decline.  Somedays I think I'm being selfish and keeping him alive way beyond his days.... and other days I think God will surely tell me like he has in the past when is the best time.  This is heart wrenching!!!

-Did I tell you our landlord selling the house - the sale fell through so new potential buyers came out this past weekend to look at it?  Up in the air on living situation too??? 

-Sleep deprivation is NOT my friend in all this!!! 

-Pain levels have been unbelievable.  

-Finances - we are learning daily manna!   (we still eat, have shelter and clothes on our back) 

-Hope deferred on our destiny - wondering when and sometimes if it's going to happen!  

There have been times these past couple weeks that I thought I should just check myself in somewhere or pack a bag and leave for a deserted island.  Not a bad idea? 

But God!  God is good!  He is faithful and He is our rock and our refuge!  How would we be effective at running a retreat/refuge if we hadn't had first hand experience in truly trusting God as our refuge, as our safe place!  None of this is for naught!  We realize that.  God has been taking us deeper and deeper into a relationship full of unwavering faith.  

There are so many people who are experiencing even greater trials than we are.  I am overwhelmed, to be honest, at how many faithful followers who are being tested to the limits.  I have a sense of God showing up soon to those who have been forged by fire.  Suddenly things are going to shift and become the most glorious testimony of God's goodness!  Watch & See!  

Look at the nations and watch- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. Habakkuk 1:5

I read Streams in the Desert Devotional - and have often shared them with you.  Here's today.....speaking to me as usual!  I pray it encourages you as well.  Just yesterday a friend said as she was praying for me, the Lord gave her a vision of us standing in the valley and their were dark clouds above us.  But then she saw the clouds were lifting and we could see clearly.  

When the cloud tarried... then the children of Israel... journeyed not (Numbers 9:19).

This was the supreme test of obedience. It was comparatively easy to strike tents, when the fleecy folds of the cloud were slowly gathering from off the Tabernacle, and it floated majestically before the host. Change is always delightful; and there was excitement and interest in the route, the scenery, and the locality of the next halting-place. But, ah, the tarrying.

Then, however uninviting and sultry the location, however trying to flesh and blood, however irksome to the impatient disposition, however perilously exposed to danger -- there was no option but to remain encamped.

The Psalmist says, "I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry." And what He did for the Old Testament saints He will do for believers throughout all ages. Still God often keeps us waiting. Face to face with threatening foes, in the midst of alarms, encircled by perils, beneath the impending rock. May we not go? Is it not time to strike our tents? Have we not suffered to the point of utter collapse? May we not exchange the glare and heat for green pastures and still waters?

There is no answer. The cloud tarries, and we must remain, though sure of manna, rock-water, shelter, and defense. God never keeps us at post without assuring us of His presence, and sending us daily supplies.

Wait, young man, do not be in a hurry to make a change! Minister, remain at your post! Until the cloud clearly moves, you must tarry. Wait, then, thy Lord's good pleasure! He will be in plenty of time! 
--Daily Devotional Commentary

An hour of waiting!

Yet there seems such need
To reach that spot sublime!
I long to reach them--but I long far more
To trust HIS time!
"Sit still, my daughter"--
Yet the heathen die,
They perish while I stay!
I long to reach them--but I long far more
To trust HIS way!
'Tis good to get,
'Tis good indeed to give!
Yet is it better still--
O'er breadth, thro' length, down length, up height,
To trust HIS will!
--F. M. N.

God's faithfulness - update on Peru - answered prayer - mark your calendar

Saludos en el nombre del Senor Jesuscristo!
(Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ).

For the Lord is GOOD and His faithful love endures forever!

We are less than 3 weeks out going to Peru! God is stretching my Type "A" personality. You know the one HE gave to me! Well, that's what I keep telling Him! Ha! :) We are still in need of funds to cover the ministry trip.... but we know God is providing in His own way and in His own timing!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to those who have made a contribution to the trip, whether it be prayer, funds, spanish lessons (mucho gracias), dog/house sitting, packing tips, plane ticket ideas, etc. We even had several offer up frequent flier miles - but unfortunately that didn't work out! All of this is extremely beneficial! We are so thankful! Thank YOU to all of YOU!!! Bless YOU!!!!!!

God is good! All the time. I wanted to share another testimony on how God is providing for our trip to Peru.

Back in the summer, we contacted a friend to give us a bid on building a wall in our home. He told us he wouldn't be able to help us because he didn't have the proper tool and gave us the name of someone else. So we called that person. He came out, gave us a bid and we agreed to go ahead and have him do the work. Well, unfortunately, he never showed up. Eventually, we just gave up on him doing the job. Last month a friend of ours offered to come out and help us build the wall, no charge! Whoohoo! Praise God. He came out, measured and then was going to create a list of items we needed to get. In the meantime, the guy we originally asked back in the summer called us and he said he had the tool now and if we still needed him, he would help. We told him we had a friend who was willing to do it for no charge but if he wanted to give us a bid, we would pray about it. So, he came out, took some measurements and then said he'd get back to us on the bid. A day or so later, he called and wanted to come over and discuss the bid. We ended up talking for about four hours - not about the wall but about what God was doing in his life and in our life and our trip to Peru. By the end of the night he said I am not going to charge you to do the wall. We said, no seriously we can pay you. He said no, I think God wants me to do this for you. Wow! The next day he text me and asked if he could come back and remeasure a few areas. When he got to the house, he backed his truck up in the driveway. Odd?? No, he had gone out and bought much of the supplies we need. He said the Lord told him to sow into our ministry and so not only is he not charging for the labor, he is helping with the cost of much of the supplies! What do you think about that? (So we took what we were going to spend on the wall and applied it to Peru). God is good! That's all I can say.

For HIS Glory!!!

If you feel led to support us - prayer, financial contribution or something else that you think we may need to know, please don't hesitate to contact us! This is our first ministry trip - and first trip overseas! Your experiences are good wisdom!

Here's a quick story on how God answered yet another prayer relating to Peru:
You know when you have an illness, you shouldn't google the symptoms, right? Because you learn more than you need to and then think you are dying. Well, the same is true with going to foreign countries... well at least Peru. I learned about the high crime. You can't carry a purse, they'll cut it off your shoulder or hold you at knife point. You can't keep a wallet in your pocket, they will pickpocket you (and they are professional). You can't wear jewelry or at least anything worthwhile to wear as they will steal it from you. Etc, etc, etc. Well, I was getting a bit worked up. I was asking the Lord to calm my fears. I'm a wuss! That day in my quiet time, I was reading in the book of Acts - Chapters 17-19. Chapter 18:9-11 jumped out at me like a neon sign!
Here's what it says: One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God. How cool and how comforting to know! His Word is such a gift! Now just for the record, after speaking with my niece, and James and a friend who used to live there... you do have to be cautious but it's not as scary as it used to be there.

Ken and I continue to pray about Peru, who we will meet there, our travels to and from, James Horan (the guy we are going with) and his family. God has been giving us some pretty cool downloads of specific locations to go to. (we've googled them to be sure they are there-and they are). Thank you for keeping us covered in prayer as the Lord leads you!

I want to share a 10 minute video that will inspire you, I hope. This is so what the world needs - more people like this guy!
