Cling to His Promises

My New CLING TO HIS PROMISES Scripture........ From the Message:

Psalm 91:14-16 (The Message)

14-16 "If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says God,

"I'll get you out of any trouble.

I'll give you the best of care

if you'll only get to know and trust me.

Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times;

I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.

I'll give you a long life,

give you a long drink of salvation!"

Examine your Heart!

I got this in an email today....... Praise God for this man!

Guess our national leaders didn ' t expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee ' s subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript: "Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out f or answers. "The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain ' s heart. "In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter... I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don ' t believe that they are responsible for my daughter ' s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel ' s murder I would be their strongest opponent. I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air. You ' ve stripped away our heritage, You ' ve outlawed simple prayer. Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die. You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question "Why?" You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed. And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need! " Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation ' s history.. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine ' s tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts. "As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain.. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter ' s death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"

Christ is Alive!

Have a Blessed Day in the LORD!

John Waller "While I'm Waiting" feat. scenes from FIREPROOF

I love this song, it is my cry to the Lord right now.

Satan's Meeting

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or CD player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs, PDAs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly.."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards and cell phones."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about His resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives…

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

What the news didn't share with you.....

March 24, 2009
Abortion chain owner's family died in MT

cemetary plane crash - near tomb of the unborn.

This was taken from Jill Stanek's blog.

From Christian Newswire this afternoon, by pro-life activist and writer Gingi Edmonds:
Some of you may have seen the major news story of the private plane that crashed into a Montana cemetery, killing 7 children and 7 adults.
But what the news sources fail to mention is... the [cemetery] contains... the Tomb of the Unborn... erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.
What else is the mainstream news not telling you? The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victim's memorial, is the family of Irving 'Bud' Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation....
Family Planning Associates was purchased 4 years ago by... Feldkamp... owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 CA Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider - Planned Parenthood included - and they perform abortions through the first 5 months of pregnancy.
Although Feldkamp is not an abortionist, he reaps profits of blood money from the tens of thousands of babies that are killed through abortions performed every year at the clinics he owns. His business in the abortion industry was what enabled him to afford the private plane that was carrying his family to their week-long vacation at The Yellowstone Club, a millionaires-only ski resort.
The plane went down on Sunday, killing 2 of Feldkamp's daughters, 2 sons-in-law and 5 grandchildren along with the pilot and 4 family friends....
The cause of the crash is a mystery. The pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2k miles, gave no indication to air traffic controllers that the aircraft was experiencing difficulty when he asked to divert to an airport in Butte. Witnesses report that the plane suddenly nosedived toward the ground with no apparent signs of a struggle. There was neither a cockpit voice recorder nor a flight data recorder onboard, and no radar clues into the plane's final moments because the Butte airport is not equipped with a radar facility. Some speculate that the crash was due to ice on the wings, but this particular plane model has been tested for icy weather and experts have stated that ice being the cause is unlikely.
In my time working for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, I helped organize and conduct a weekly campaign where youth activists stood outside of Feldkamp's mini-mansion in Redlands holding fetal development signs and raising community awareness regarding Feldkamp's dealings in child murder for profit. Every Thursday afternoon we called upon Bud and his wife Pam to repent, seek God's blessing and separate themselves from the practice of child killing.
We warned him, for his children's sake, to wash his hands of the innocent blood he assisted in spilling because, as Scripture warns, if "you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you." (Ezekiel 35:6)
A news source states that Bud Feldkamp visited the site of the crash with his wife and their 2 surviving children on Monday. As they stood near the twisted and charred debris talking with investigators, light snow fell on the tarps that covered the remains of their children.
I don't want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual "I told you so" moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp's - Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow - and I think of the haunting words, "Think of your children." I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones, just feet from the Tomb of the Unborn?
I only hope and pray that in the face of this tragedy, Feldkamp recognizes his need for repentance and reformation. I pray that God will use this unfortunate catastrophe to soften the hearts of Bud and Pam and that they will draw close to the Lord and wash their hands of the blood of thousands of innocent children, each as precious and irreplaceable as their own.
"I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then." (Deut. 30:19)
This is hard to think about. Gingi's right. No MSM report included that particular business detail. An Associated Press article did include this, however:
Feldkamp's family has gone through tragedy before. Two years ago, his 10-month-old grandson, Chase, died after he was found to have slipped between a mattress and the edge of a bed during a nap. The child was taken to a hospital and was eventually taken off life support.

~Abortion affects every life it touches~

12-year-old speaks out on the issue of abortion

Proverbs 28:1
"The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are Bold as a lion."

Pick a Quote, Any Quote.

Ponder on these a bit:

Grace gave us what we didn't deserve ~ God's Favor

Mercy restrains what we did deserve ~ God's Wrath

As Christians we do not have free rein to sin.

Make Worship a Lifestyle

God hates sin because it hurts you and violates His Character

God knows every storm we'll ever encounter and provides a way for us in each one.

When Jesus calls us to follow Him, He always pushes us beyond our experience and beyond our abilities.

God allows our circumstances to come for a reason. God can redeem any situation. He can equip us to live in a way that brings Him Glory and He can help us grow in faith through our trials.

God isn't looking for what the world would call the "total package" when He looks for someone to carry out His mission.

Weakness is an opportunity for God to say, "We'll walk this road together -

Just wait & see what I can do!"

Our weaknesses are a funnel for God's power to flow through.

Jesus' death on the cross was the ultimate example of strong weakness

Joy of the Lord

Joy of the Lord Women's Conference went great. God was there and so were about 200 ladies. It was amazing to be apart of such a great group of God Loving Women.

God worked in the hearts of many women yesterday. There were many broken women looking for the Joy of the Lord and Praise God many of them found it. I know of 1 soul that was saved yesterday and she just happened to be from my church. So it was a joyful morning today in our services when she announced it to her church family.

I gave my testimony about abortion and how God has healed me and set me free from the secrecy I kept for over 15 years. When I was done all the women were on their feet clapping and it was pretty overwhelming for me.

Here are some pictures.

Thank you for all of you prayed for me yesterday. God gave me peace.

Prayer and Praise

This evening I will head over to the local retreat camp for a women's prayer retreat with my SIL and her sister. A bittersweet time with my Lord. A much needed time of praise, and prayer. These last few weeks have been full of ministry busyness. Aside from my daily outside the home job, and my family I have been very busy getting ready for my first ever Conference where I will a guest speaker. That takes way more preparation than I realized. Not to mention speaking to our Celebrate Recovery Group at our Church right in the middle of it.

God has been preparing me for this next weeks conference for the last 4 weeks since I was invited. And my life has become a play ground for the enemy. He has tried to attack me every way he can. But I have stayed in Prayer, Worship and in the Word of God to find my strength to fight through this.

Other Big News in my life is that we have finally set a date for Pat Layton author of Surrendering The Secret to come to our Church for a Training Session and to give her testimony at our Church on Sunday. This is so awesome because we are centrally located in East Texas and close enough to Louisiana that this will cover a huge area. She has penciled us in on her calender for Sept. 26 and 27. We are so excited to see what God will do and the women that will surrender to this ministry.
Not much time left I have to pack my bags.

Patiences Please,

God is doing some amazing things right now. I have 2 more speaking arrangements scheduled. Gesh...... I don't like that part of ministry. I am really freaked out about getting infront of people to talk. but put me in the center of the women I could do it all day long.
I spoke to the youth group a couple of weeks ago and I survived it, so I am sure to survive the women groups right?
In 2 weeks I will be going to our Celebrate Recovery group and give testimony, The conference on Mar 7, and Our Women's Fellowship on April 17.
God is so up to something BIG....... the suspense kills me........ I want to see the big painted picture. Patience, I think He is teaching me a little of that through all of this too.

God Speaks

A real quick recap of my 4 days with an amazing group of ladies.
We headed out on Friday morning to New Bruensfel, Tx for a leadership conference and Surrendering the Secret training. It was a quick trip and not a quite moment it the car. That evening kicked off the conference. The Keynote speaker was Kelly Minter and we had an amazing time of worship. God was speaking to me from the beginning.
I went there for some serious time with the Lord and that is exactly what I did. He confirmed and loved on me through worship, scriptures, and testimony all weekend.
I have never been this close with the Lord, ever! It was truly amazing. By Saturday afternoon I was emotionally drained.
The conference was all day Saturday and Pat Layton was the Keynote speaker. She did a great job. This women Loves God and Women. And she is quit funny.
I got a chance to me her in person and get her autograph. As did I Kelly Minters too.
That evening back at our hotel, we spent some serious time with the Lord. We recapped the weekend, journaled about it, and had an amazing prayer time. We were all 4 down on our knees or laying flat on our faces before our Lord, just humbling ourselves before Him. We literally poured ourselves out to Him.
Sunday was a day of rest for us. We went to a near by town and did a little shopping and lurking around. We had a fabulous lunch on the Gruene River at the Gruene River Grill.
That evening we attended Church Services at Oakwood Baptist where the Surrendering the Secret training was held on Monday. WOW!!!!! it was unbelievable. God was there. The Holy Spirit was so thick in the room, you could feel it...... God was speaking to me so much that evening, I told one of the ladies I was with that if He spoke any louder He would be YELLING in my ear. I just can't explain it.....
Monday was our training day. And boy did the enemy have some tricks up his sleeve.... Nothing is too big for God though.
Pat used my computer for her power point presentation. We had a good lunch and the women there were so sweet. There were about 47 of us in the session. We took pictures together and discussed ideas.
Before going I had been praying for direction on getting into our area churches with the material for post abortive women to begin healing. It has been in Crisis Pregnancy Centers for years, but it is just now coming into the church and only few.
As we left that afternoon to head back home, not even 5 minutes into the ride home I got a phone call from an area church about a Women's Conference coming up in March. They have had their schedule worked out with the exception of a 35 min time slot before the breakout sessions. The director of the women's ministry felt the Lord telling her that should be for the Post Abortion Ministry.
She asked ME to be the speaker for this event. Hello????? Me, my first time to speak in front of a big crowd was this past week with our youth group...... which by the way went great.
I was just humble by what the Lord was doing and so quickly.
He had shown me over and over all weekend that The Harvest is Ripe...... He was not going to prepare me then send me out, He is going to prepare me along the journey. I don't have to go knocking on the Churches doors He is opening them up for me.
God is so good and this ministry is needed so badly.

One Amazing Weekend

I had a wonderful 4 days in God's presence. It was more than amazing and i don't have a lot of time to blog about it. I would like to post some pictures though.

Getting excited!

I am so excited to see what God has up his sleeve for this weekend. There are 8 of us going to the leadership conference and 5 of us will stay thru til Monday for the Surrendering the Secret Training. I am so thankful for these ladies and their desire to follow God. It is going to be one amazing weekend. There are some things that we are leaving open for the weekend plans, just want to see what God has in store for us....... Trying to follow His direction on what to do Sunday. Which Church to attend services at, and what to do that afternoon and evening....
I am so ready to get away from work, drama, family and all that can sometimes hinder you..... Don't get me wrong I love my family but I never have any "me" time and quit frankly I am in some great need of it......
I need to be refreshed in my spirit and fellowship with some great ladies in my life. I need to focus completely on my Lord and worship Him deeply. I am also depending on Him to give me complete clarity on Our new ministry.
We will have 2 to a room and I have been praying this week about who she will be. I don't mind sharing with any of the ladies as I know all of them pretty well. But whom ever we room with we will have a little extra alone time with and I want it to be the lady the Lord wants......
Please pray for us on our trip, it is about a 5.5 hour drive and we all have families we will be leaving for a few days....... We are set to leave town about 9am Friday morning.

God is Faithful

Thanks for the prayers for my husband. He did well through his test and there was nothing abnormal found. The Dr. did take a few biopsies and we will get the results in 2 weeks. It is all in God's hands.


This morning I awoke to my 5 year old burning up with a fever next to me. He had a fever of 104. After sending out a mass text message asking for prayer, his fever finally broke. I have stayed on top of it today with meds and his fever is very low but he sounds and feels bad.



I had plans to spend the morning shopping with him and my daughter, then meeting up with my sister to visit my brother and ending the evening at a local band concert "One Day of Praise".

But motherly duty came first for me today.


I will get to see my sister in the morning. I will be headed there early to go to church with her. Her husband excepted Christ as his personal Savior this morning. They along with their daughter will be baptized in the morning and I would not miss it for the world........ God truly answers prayers. I have been praying for this consistently for over a year or more. God is so faith to us.


Also I have been working on a flyer for His ministry..... I say His because it is. It is not mine, it is His. I am just so blessed to be a part of it.

I had been praying for a Ministry Name and Scripture and He so faithfully gave me it back in Oct.
