Norwex Raffle Basket - worth over $700.00!

Norwex 2

It's been a long time since I wrote anything on my blog. It's been a very busy summer and fall.

My sister and brother in law, Adam and Ruth Young, finally got to bring home their precious daughters from the DR Congo a few weeks ago! They went through quite an ordeal getting them home, and the Lord blessed them with many answers to prayer in the form of many miracles along the way. The girls don't speak English yet, so that's an additional learning process for all of them. To see their story, go to http://www.whatsmixing.com/

Of course, they've incurred many expenses along the way in this adoption process. In order to help them pay for the final adoption expenses, Ruth is raffling off a Norwex basket. (If you don't know what Norwex is, please go to http://ruthyoung.norwex.biz/ I have a lot of Norwex, and I love it for cleaning the house - it saves a lot of time and is healthy.)

Ruth is raffling off a basket of Norwex, worth over $700.00! (To see the basket and details about the raffle, please visit http://www.whatsmixing.com/category/norwexfundraising/ I believe she's selling tickets for $10.00 apiece. She'd like to raise $2000.00 from this raffle and any raffle tickets that you buy will go directly towards their adoption expenses. To buy a ticket from Ruth, you can email her at ryoung1514@gmail.com She's ending the raffle OCTOBER 31st, so if you wish to buy a ticket, please do so before that date!

Thank you so much for your prayers for the Young family as they seek to be a family that honors and glorifies the Lord, and for supporting them at that time.

Broken Jars and God's Grace

I'm thanking the Lord today for his amazing grace. Last night, I had a sinful tantrum over some jars of stuff that got broken accidentally on the way in from the car to the house. I knew immediately that it was very stupid (actually the correct word is sinful) to be fuming over something so insignificant in the whole scheme of things. I'm thankful for God's always bringing just the hot water (trials) that bring out the tea in the bag of my heart so I can repent and change. I don't know about you all, but my very first reaction when money is involved in an accident, is to seize up with a fearful, "What if God doesn't provide THIS time?". I am always struck immediately then with the knowledge that, "Yes! He will provide and He's bringing this to show me my lack of trust in Him". That I'll not give into sinful first emotions and act on them is my prayer today. Perfect love definitely casts out fear. When I truly believe that God is t...

Zipporah

As Pastor Rob is preaching interpretation, and pastorally shepherding us applicationally through the book of Exodus, Dave and I have been so blessed to have so much to talk about throughout the week as we’re seeking to be doers of the Word and not merely hearers, and it has also given us much to talk about with others. Exodus 4:18-31 was last week’s passage, and the section on Zipporah was very surprising to me and will be the scope of this article. So, to back it up, Rob brought out how God revealed Himself in three ways to Moses: as a Father who assuaged Moses’ fears regarding the men who has sought his life in Egypt as the covenant-keeper who would go with Moses as he went back to Egypt; and as the faithful God who would always keep His promises to His covenant people, the physical sign of circumcision being the mark God required. God then told Moses that it would not be his ability to deliver Israel from slavery, and as a matter of fact, God would further...

Heavenly Multiplication

As I've been thinking about the Sunday sermon from Exodus 2, it's amazing to me the powerful intricacy with which God has orchestrated human history. It gives me immense comfort to know that nothing can thwart the sovereign plan of God to bring the God/man into the world, not even the trillions of human decisions along the way. And that God will ultimately live eternally with his redeemed mankind—not merely on a tiny patch of land that He would temporarily give to a very small people group known as Israel—but on the re-created Earth, the expanded Eden! And no longer with only the small people group of just Israel, but where there will be a magnificently multiplied amount of people (remember “70 souls went down to Egypt” becoming “600,000 men, plus women and children”, plus a mixed multitude from Egypt who were delivered from slavery there). These are all the people whom Revelation 7:9 says God the Father has chosen from among "every trible, and peoples, and languages...
