ISAIAH 26:3
THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: BECAUSE HE TRUSTETH IN THEE.

Should One Fear God????

Why do you think God wants us to fear Him? Maybe it is just because there are benefits to us fearing Him. Fearing God means I practice his presence in my life daily-nothing is hidden from Him.


Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life.


Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Psalm 145:19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.


I have always said your faith can help you through your fears.. I am not saying I have not fear things or situations because believe me I am guilty. We all need to keep the faith in every situation we are face with whether work, school, family or church.
I am currently fearing the unknown of our sons upcoming heart cath and then heart surgery to follow in the months ahead. I guess this post is for me more than anyone. Yes, I am laying it all out there this time.
Lord help me to trust you and the future ahead and help me to understand your will is your plan.
Psalm 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Prayer Request

Please remember our little man Kenny. We are scheduled for his heart cath on March 18th. Which seems to be getting closer and closer.

God Never Ceases to Amaze Me

We were very upset when we had some children whom were riding the church van just move with no warning. Actually, went by to pick them up one Sunday in December and found a for rent sign at their address. Finally, after trying to track them down for about a month the family answer their cell phone. Then we find out their are living about 30 minutes away from where my husband parents live in Michigan.

I know your suspense is about to get to you now right. After my father-in-law contacts the family he then finds out the grandparents of the children had visited the church in the past. They are planning to visit the church again with the grandchildren. I think this is amazing they moved over 700 miles away from out little town in Tennessee. Then to find out they are living this close to the church my father-in-law is the pastor at.



Luke 9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,



My prayer is that this family can really come to know Christ and just how wonderful He can be to them.

God Can Use "YOU"

We had have a wonderful week. The revival meetings at church were just so uplifting. The message on Thursday evening he talked about how God can use anyone. Even the poorest among you he can use. So many of ask why would you chose me and why not use him or her. Lord you know they came from a much better family and those people Lord they can do so much better they have wealth. The key for us all is to just be willing. Trust me in my own life people would set back and say why would you do that. My answer was if God led me to it then he will lead me through it. Just a thought for you we can only be use by God because God is with us in our hearts and through Him amazing things can be accomplished.
Isaiah 42:7
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have createdhim for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
So many people think the government, senators the president has the answer??? Wrong??? People God is our answer to all things. We have Jesus what more do we need. We are the one who works for the secret services that is God He does know the outcome and the rest of the story not Washington.. The white house is not your answer it is "GOD ALMIGHTY".

Are you ready to Apply!!

God needs your service and your help. The question is have you applied to help. God is looking for committed individuals who, like Amos, will labor for him even if it was to just picked the fruit.

Amos 7:14

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah,

I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son;

but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of a sycamore fruit.


God can use you in the simple task or a extremely hard situation.. Just remember he is the guide you just have to follow his direction. I have heard so many people say, " Oh I could never do that for God". Perhaps you have never attended a Bible school or seminary, but you can still know God.... and know his Word.... and in the process prepare yourself for the unique opportunities of service God has for you..

2 Chronicles 16:9

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast
done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
God's guiding hand will always be with you and if your heart is right then your
intention will be right.
I Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
So I hope your ready to be employed for God he does run the biggest corporation and that is
HEAVEN.

God's Working Hand

I was called in today to work and it was in a different tax office than I normally work in. I have got to tell you what God did today.

I was given an opporuntity to talked to a lady that had been visiting our church for two weeks now.. I sing in the choir at church and that is why she recognized me.. I am sorry to say I did recognize her. She came up to me and ask do you attend Tabernacle Church?? She was telling me how they have been looking for a new church since October. They were planning to start coming to Sunday School and she wanted to know who taught the classes and so forth.

That is just God... It was all in God's timing and plan for me today to work in this office location today. Just pray for this new family coming to our church and that we all as church members will welcome them and they will know they are welcome.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them that
who are called according to his purpose.

Praise The Lord

The other two valves that were blocked between 85%-95% were both under 50% since this was the discovered the open heart was not performed.. The surgeon was very pleased that the blockage he had was clearing up with the medication..


Thank you Jesus....
