Divine Direction and More

Here we are entering fall and here I am entering my monthly post.  LOL!!  This summer has been crazy, but it seems that things could be slowing down.  

Last time we blogged we were in Mississippi seeking direction from God.  I wont tell you the whole story, but I will tell you God spoke directly telling us we are to go to Seattle.   God spoke again to Joel while he was preaching in Tomball, Texas two weeks ago.  Now we know whatever we come up against we are called by God and there will be a church in Seattle.   We cannot wait to get there, but we know we have a lot of work to do before we go.  We will be in Wichita Falls until we are able to move.  Joel will still be preaching out while I get our trailer and Suburban ready to sell.   This brings me to the next bit of news.  After seven and half years I have reentered the work force.  I work Greater Life Care Giving as private health care provider.  I love my job.  I work 9-3 Monday through Friday.   This experience is something that I can take to Seattle.  I believe this job was orchestrated by God.

One week ago today my wonderful sister and the love of her life were married.  It was a beautiful wedding and I must say the most fun wedding I've ever been to.  Congratulations Amber and Zachary!!!  We love you both and wish you the best.

This past Wednesday Joel's cousin and close friend Justin Jones passed away.  He died of  a brain aneurism.  Justin was just 30 years old.  To make matters worse he lived in Humble and as most of you know Houston was just hit with Ike.  The family is very distraught and is in desperate need of prayer right now.  

I believe that covers all the news .  Hopefully between working, raising a family, and starting a church I'll be able to find time to blog more.  Yall pray for me.  LOL!!  

Divine Pause

Bro. Greg Godwin (who by the way has a cool name God --win. Get it. God always Wins.) preached at Idaho campmeeting about being in a divine pause. That was the service that impacted me the most because Joel and I have entered into a divine pause.
As most of you know in April we were appointed Home Missions to Seattle. Well, this summer we were presented with another opportunity. It would be a very exciting endeavor, provided it becomes the Lord's will. Therein lies the challenge, finding God's will. By nature, I am a planner and I have to map out my day, week, month to survive. Kind of funny since I'm an evangelist wife. So to not know what is going to happen in our ministry has tested me to the limits. I am confident that God's will is going to be done. Every day when I wake I have to surrender both situations and my will to HIM. I don't know any other way to make it through this pause.
We are in Madison, MS at the Apostolic Conference. It is a conference especially for Home Missionaries. The church is doing a fabulous job of taking care of us. They provide everything from airfare to food and even clothes. (Thank God cause we came here naked!! LOL!!) Everything has been first class.
The men and women I have met this week our my heroes. I know what they go through. Joel and I have preached for many Home Missionaries even some of the ones who are here. These people give their lives to start a work for God. They literly give blood, sweat, and tears to see a church raised up. It is a high honor to be among these men and women of God.
We are here not only to gain spiritual insite about the work of God, but also to hear from God. The past few weeks has made us step back and reevaluate our life. We are desperate to know what step to take next whatever it may be.
Please pray for us. Although this is a stressful time we really our excited about what God has in store. Which ever way God leads we know that great things are going to happen. God has spoken promises to us and we know that His word will not return void unto Him.

On The Road Again

It has been so long since I last posted that I won't even try to update you all on what has happened. Just suffice it to say we have been very busy.
After very much needed vacation in Texas which by the way was wonderful, we are back on the road. We have been to Boise, ID to Lewistown, Id from there to Idaho Camp Meeting to Oregon and on to Washington this week for another revival in Ellensburg.
Bro. Kantola is doing very good and has been back to pastoring since May. So it appears we are finished there in Boise.
We will be on the road traveling for the next few weeks leading up to Amber and Zach's wedding. There that's it in a nutshell. I will post a few pics from our trips later this week.
There I have updated. I wish you all a wonderful week.
P.s. Joel got a call today from Bro. Holt today saying that their church is still seeing the effects of our revival there. There are still reports of healings comming in. Isn't our God good!!!
