My Personal Ministry

Be prepared to be led in differant paths than you thought you'd be led. Let the Spirit guide you. I thought I'd had a Major, minor, BA MA in music... I'd be treaching and leading great collegete choirs... ok so that was a dream of a teenager... the point is I dreamt I would be any where but here. No college degree, not even an AA. I have had not a stable life long job but took what I could to survive and take care of the family... I have not carried and birthed my own children... and worst of all I am in Taft. On the plus side? My husband and I have both been saved from physical death and wonder at times how we were so lucky... why were we put here? I say he was put here for me... I was still struggling with Earthly faults and Robert (husband) smacked me around a little bit and put me back together... and wack thing is, he did not have God. I taught him about Jesus and God and helped him find grace... I am to be a leading example for the kids he had. I couldn't have my own... but God gave me them!!!! I am studying and sharing my joy and growth with others. I was left here on Earth to share. Yes believe you me... there are times I want to be with my Father... I want this Earthly torment and pain to be over, but I know he has a road stretched out for me. Had I gone the path of my childhood dreams, I would not be within God's good favor. I know this to my core. My ego would surpass my Love for God, my need for fame or codoos or building my resume... it would all come first. I know... I KNOW that when I have conflict, when I struggle I know myself and I know I turn to God to depend on His strength. I needed to not have my dreams come true... I needed to be here... my kids needed me...

1Ti 4:8-16 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the present life, and of that which is to come. Faithful is the Word, and worthy of all acceptance. For to this we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the preserver of all men, especially of those who believe. Command and teach these things. Let no one despise your youth, but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Until I come, attend to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the body of elders. Meditate on these things; be in these things in order that your improvement may appear to all. Hold on to yourself and to the doctrine; continue in them, for doing this you shall both save yourself and those who hear you.

My job is not to reach for the physical desires of the world, but to strive for that Heavenly home,
Mt 6:19-21 Do not lay up treasures on earth for yourselves, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up treasures in Heaven for yourselves, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

but not for me alone. I need remind myself all the time I am being watched. I coulda left this realationship with my husband before I was married. I knew he had kids, I knew he didn't truly know God, but was searching.... I knew the kids needed him to know God... I knew the kids needed God in their lives as well. I feel in love with the kids before I knew them... God had put me here!

Psa 25:5 Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day long.


Rev 7:17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Mat 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Amen and AGAPE
