Overwhelmed, Stressed Out, Healed and Ready!

Posted by Lois McQuinn on April 28, 2010 at 5:13 PM Comments comments (1)

The information that the Lord is bringing to me right now is so overwhelming, that if I don't get it down, I'm going to forget it and lose so much.

It all started with Dr. Hart at BOTT - I had read his book years ago about adrenaline and stress and even talked to my doctor about the level of stress on this ol' body of mine. Her answer though was not encouraging - you only get into a specialist if you are dying.

So naturally nothing was done about my unnaturally high stress levels.

We found out from Doc. Hart at BOTT that the most stress filled life is that of a pastors wife - a title which I hate because it describes my relationship with my husband not the church; but can you image?! The most stress filled life on this planet is not the Doctor or the EMT or the president of the USA or even the pastor - it is the pastor's wife!

Well, I knew that my health was deteriorating and fast (colitis and seizures due to extreme stress to the body was the diagnoses) so last summer I made out my will and health directive. In my heart I had said good bye to those that I love, because any seizure could be my last and I looked heaven ward for my release.

The Lord though had different plans; the first thing I received was an incredible healing from the bulk of the seizures.

I was in the church(we had guests of course) and I was trying not to bring attention to myself...but I knew things weren't going well and I was on my way out. One of the ladies from our church who works in healthcare profeesion felt the same way, and as the church began to really intercede for me, she came and prayed the prayer of faith.

God answered and a miraculous healing occurred I literally leaped from the chair that I was laying in and began to dance in the Spirit. If you have ever seen anyone have a seizure you know that they don't "leap" from anywhere; for me the normal procedure was hours of sleep, exhaustion and a gimpy leg that wouldn't work.

I would like to be able to say that that was the end of the seizures but I have had two small ones since - but the Lord has taken me on a journey to really learn something from this!

First - I have to lower my stress level, through more Christian meditation.

Second - I have to improve my overall health - through diet,exercise and proper rest.

Third - and most important I had to find the cause for my severe stress.

I think I just may have found it.

We as apostolics know we have been entrusted with the great commission...how to accomplish that task though is a great source of stress for not just me but for many others I think.

Dr. Hart at BOTT explained why that extreme stress leaves us so exhausted that even the thought of evangelism leaves us too tired to even think… let alone do anything.

This of course leads to condemnation because we feel we are not doing enough for our Lord which leads to more stress and the cycle begins again.

Then I found another piece to this puzzle...

During this whole time dealing with this sickness there has been a lady who kept prodding me to try a whole food supplement (Don't let me lose you here because there is something in this that will change the way you evangelise forever!) it was easy to digest and would get into my blood stream and help with the colitis and stress. Well the product did come through for me - majorly - but that is not my story - my story is about evangelism.

I decided to start selling the product because of the health benefits for my family

and those I love and here is where the story gets really exciting!

I was trained in sales by the head of a major corporation here in Canada as well as by my father who could sell ice to an Eskimo.  My pastor - the late Jack Long also was a huge believer in using up to date sales methods to sell the gospel. He was a huge soul winner and taught his methods to us his brothers and sisters. He would have been preaching and teaching what I'm about to show you - in fact we wouldn't be so stress out if we had of kept abreast of the latest tried and true sales techniques.

So here is what I have been learning - it will blow you away - times are changing- people are more sceptical than ever and the job of evangelising the lost using the old fashion methods just don't work and they won't work and I believe we will be so frustrated, discouraged and stressed that doing them will only lead to and has led to extreme burn out!

1) It takes up to 7 (get that!!) "7" contacts to reach someone to make a sale for a product that will actually help them!

Do you really get that? - We evangelise someone once maybe twice and think we have preached the gospel and wonder why no results! In this day and age we haven't even got their attention yet!

Then, we start beating ourselves up thinking that there must be something wrong with us!

You talk about extreme stress to the body - who needs a devil when we are doing such a great job beating up on ourselves!

The company that is teaching me their sales techniques has over 40 years in cutting edge sales...they know what works.

They use 3 phone calls, a DVD, email, conference calls and whatever it takes to help that person understand the importance of the decision that they are making.

2) They can duplicate themselves in just 60 days, through fast tract training and extreme mentoring from the top down!

3) They teach you how to recognize the leaders and give you actual guidelines to go by to find them.

This training was possibly the greatest evangelism training I have had in years!

I would have paid 50 bucks for that long ago if I had have known!

So what to do -

1)  First go buy the product for yourself. The 17 fruits and vegetables will begin to heal your immune system. Where I am concerned the product worked… I'm off the colitis medication and the stress level is on its way down.

The product just plain delivers -

2) Then... sign up as a distributer to get the training material.

The product will help you gain your health and strength back and reduce your stress levels so that you will want to evangelise again and the training will get you on fire!

Finally, you will know it's not about you and it's not about me it's just that the method was way updated!! Knowing that will take so much of the stress off, then learn the new methods that do work and reach a level of success in your soul winning that will bring joy!

Let's get our health back and go win the lost!

My Personal SalvationTestimony

Posted by Karen on April 22, 2010 at 3:37 PM Comments comments (0)

All through our lives we experience so many things through the people we meet and the places that are visited. Over a lifetime so many memories are played out, some are so sweet that we hold on to them dearly, while some would be best forgotten. Through all of it though we build testimonies, so we can say, “look what the Lord has done in my life this is how I was, and now because of the grace of God, I have a new life!” I have a memory that I am so happy to call it that, just a memory, because at the time my life was lived much differently than it is now.

I will just say it, I was into witchcraft, and the saddest thing is at the time I didn’t know it .I had it confused with spirituality. The reason could be because witchcraft is within the supernatural realm. I read my bible and I prayed to Jesus. I had accepted him as my lord and savior and I wanted to live for him. I was so hungry for God that I thought surely I have found him. Sadly the so called, “spirituality” that comes with witchcraft is very deceiving. Some people as myself, can have the perception that this comes from GOD. Satan knows how to fake a counterfeit, so at the time I was doing horrible things such as channeling, communicating with spirits, and other things that were not of God. I would live with guilt, fear and confusion never knowing, that my lifestyle was causing these symptoms. I honestly believed this was okay. I was living at the time in a small town called Wishart, Saskatchewan, there was nobody to show me anything different. But I did meet some people who helped me delve deeper into the pit I was already in. It became to me like an addiction, I would see them, then go home and practice what I had learned. I would feel an actual high and now I had people to support my habit. Oddly it gave me a sense of empowerment, and I liked that feeling.

I am married and have 4 children They knew very little of what I was doing, From 1992 to 1999 I had all 4 of my children baptized when they were babies in between the Roman Catholic and the Lutheran church. I thought it was biblical, not that I was an expert on anything biblical!

Then in 2000 during a very cold snap in February, my family moved to Kelvington Saskatchewan, just prior to the move I had a horrific dream. It involved Myself and my husband. We were driving down an old country road in the middle of nowhere in an old beat up truck. And of all things we were hauling pigs in a crate in the back of the truck. As we drove we came to a forest. We entered it, and drove further and further until it got to dark to see anymore. We decided to stop. As our luck would have it we saw a cabin to stay the night. We settled in, when during my dream I was awakened to the most horrible screams. I jumped up and looked outside. There were huge male lions grabbing the pigs and killing them, not to eat, they were doing it for the fun of the kill. They were the most demonic looking lions I had ever seen. Then they realized I was watching them so ever so controlled and menacing they came toward me. The closer they came the thinner the cabin’s walls got until there was hardly anything separating us. Their eyes were glowing red and were so evil. The biggest lion roared and lept, with is huge paws coming right at me! I screamed and jumped out of bed. I was sweating and sobbing and didn’t want to go back to sleep. I was so terrified that for many weeks I found it hard to sleep. That lion became a part of Me, I would see it every time I closed my eyes. I took this dream as a sign to get out of Wishart. I felt like death was calling my name. And God was telling me we had to leave this place.

This is where my testimony really begins to show the greatness of God in my life!

We started attending a Trinitarian Pentecostal church in town. The pastor had his work cut out for him explaining things to me. I would learn here that babies are not to be baptized. This was a real revelation for me and my husband. It was here that I also found out about full immersion baptism. I wanted this so badly. I loved God so much, what I knew about Him, that I wanted to show my obedience to scripture and be baptized into the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. So it was set, all of this was to take place on the 26th of August 2001.

I was so excited and could hardly wait for the big day. There was something else that I was really looking forward to, a wedding, Karen, an old school mate of mine. We had spent our youth together, then like many childhoods, her family had to move away. We had always kept in contact with each other. She had moved to Outlook, Saskatchewan, and was getting married on the 24th of August. From Kelvington to Outlook it is a 4 hour drive with little kids a 3 ½ hour drive without. So I had two exciting events to look forward to. Little did I know these would happen on the same night!

The week before the wedding I had to get my power steering pump changed .That poor old pump would grind every time I turned a corner. Then to make matters worse the hose came off and all the fluid was drained out. Now it was really shot! My husband fixed it as best as he could. I ordered a new pump at a garage in Kelvington. The day I ordered it was on a Tuesday. The attendant assured me it would be in on Thursday. So I could come in on Thursday get it changed and be on my way to Outlook for the wedding. Thursday came, I took my van in the morning and asked the attendant if it was to early to leave it at the garage, he said no problem, until he started looking through what the courier had brought. And guess what no pump! So he phoned the place that was to have sent it out. Cause the couriers receipt had a part on it, but the part was still at the warehouse. Of all the parts ordered, mine was the only one that was forgotten.

The wedding was the next day and I felt terrible, I phoned up Karen and told her I wouldn’t be going. My husband had left to go to work the day before so the only vehicle I had was this van. She was upset for me and we both had a little cry. She said she understood, not only was the part not in, I was also really low on cash. Well, I thought what’s the worst that can happen? I packed up my kids, and we left early Friday morning. I prayed that Jesus would keep my power steering pump working. I went on faith and faith alone! Needless to say the old devil was not too happy with all this.

The wedding was beautiful, so was the bride and the groom was glowing. This was the first time I had ever been to an Apostolic wedding much less a church. I had never heard prayer like I did that day. After the ceremony we went to the church basement to have fellowship and food. Everyone was talking and laughing, this was the first time I had ever been to a wedding with no alcohol being served. Well you wouldn’t have known it for the joy that was among everyone. I met Karen’s pastor Don McQuinn and his wife Lois McQuinn. We sat down across from each other and started talking. There were others beside us. She said lets pray and holding hands we did. It was then that I felt Gods anointing coming over me. I was holding up my hands and praying as best as I knew how, then nothing. Nothing I say because I knew I could feel there was to be more, but it was if there was a huge blockage between myself and this something wonderful. Luckily this kind of stuff is real business with this congregation! Sister Lois’s son Mitchell, who at the time was home from Bible college noticed a block and said to take me upstairs to find out what it was.

I was not prepared for what happened next, Sister Lois started praying over me, when all of a sudden this huge fierce looking lion leaped out at me. This is the same lion that tormented my dreams, my thoughts and was affecting all areas of my life. I fell to my knees immediately screaming and sobbing in so much fear. Well sister Lois was not going to have any of this and commanded the beast to leave in Jesus name. She then told me to tell it where to go as well In Jesus name! I did and you know what it left. I then closed my eyes and seen the most brilliant lion. It was magnificent it was much bigger than this evil one. It absolutely glowed with a brilliant white light! I would like to think this is the Lion from the tribe of Judah! Sister Lois told me later that night that the only thing a lion is afraid of is a lion bigger than itself. I then told her how thankful I was to be getting baptized on Sunday. She looked at me and said what way are you being baptized? What do you mean there is only one way to get baptized , in the Name of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. She looked at me with a seriousness and said something she later told me she had never told anybody before, “Honey the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is not going to do it for you!” she then showed me Jesus name baptism. With scriptures, in the bible, showing me the way to true salvation. Well the scriptures literally jumped off the page and into my heart. I heard a voice from within say, this is good, this is so very good! “I want this, ohh how I want this, but when could I be baptized?” Sister Lois said we have a tank and lots of water to fill it. I looked at Karen and her husband Wayne, after all they had just been married. I said to Karen,“This is your day this is your wedding day how can I do this and take away from your wedding day.” She looked at me and said, “No Karen, this is the day that the Lord hath made”. Well with that the tank was filled. Sister Lois gave me some time to go over the scriptures just to make sure this is what I wanted. There was no doubt in my mind. I got to pick out some music, some songs I had never heard sung but with beautiful words, that was to be played for my baptism.

I remember stepping into the tank of water and feeling more excited than I have ever been before. Pastor Don THEN BABTIZED ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS!! For the remission of all my sins. I came up out of the water put my hands up in worship and this war cry streamed out of my throat. Then I was speaking in a different language, I was talking in tongues! I had been filled with the Holy Ghost! Everyone was rejoicing around me and they were dancing, I was overcome with emotions I had never experienced. Never had I felt anything as amazing as that day. I am now a new person! I got a make over from Jesus! I’ve never been the same since that day, and that is for the better. My baptism is a precious gift from God and to anybody else who wants it. I know that as long as I live I will never learn all there is to know about God but I do know that the scriptures are written for me and for you. They are for a close personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. The book of Acts is the most wonderful book in the whole bible, it lead me right into salvation. And now I can say Look at what the Lord has done with this sinner!! I can’t believe how He could have loved me, the person I was before I was baptized. Once I got a hold of this, there was no looking back and to this day I am still living within this miracle…

snowflakes

Posted by Karen on February 22, 2010 at 12:11 PM Comments comments (0)

I stood in front of my kitchen window this morning, before any of the kids were up, looking outside. Day break made visible, in the early morning light, that snowflakes were falling. I stood there marveling at how slowly they floated in the air, so perfect and peaceful. Some where falling straight down while others seemed to zigzag there way down and softly made their landing on the white powdered ground. Over the winter there can be a lot of it, being that it is almost the end of February. I don’t know why, this particular morning I just noticed something different about it. Watching and standing mesmerized while I waited for the water to boil in the electric kettle for my morning cup of tea. Then the Lord spoke to me, He said “look at how small each snowflake is, each one is different, only if you look closely enough will you notice, otherwise they all appear to be the same.” I know this Lord, this is something we learned as children, how each snowflake is unique and not one of them is the same. Then in the quietness of the morning, He said something else to me, this really made me think, “just like the snowflake it is so small, and each one by itself really appears to be of no importance. If you were to hold out your hand it would melt and disappear.” Yes Lord you are right, each one by itself is so tiny, hardly noticeable. Continuing he said, “Just imagine if your problems that you face daily, fell like the snowflakes you see floating down from the morning sky. If for an instant you could visibly see them, one by one. With you praying and giving them to me, they don’t seem so bad. But if you leave Me out and stop praying, give it time and you have a snow drift that is packed so hard that there is no way to get through it. All awhile each snowflake by itself is harmless.” Ohh my Lord, You are so right, Again He said “you get busy, at times so busy that you forget, I am here and always will be here for you. I love you, I want to be involved in every part of your life.” What a reality check! Lord you Love me enough to show me how much you love me, by using snowflakes!  He does love us, more than we could ever imagine. No matter what condition our lives are in there is always room for Jesus. And don’t think that you have to get your lives in order before you can face him, just like some people who want to join a gym but feel they have to get in shape before they enter in. He wants to take the snowflakes and keep them as snowflakes, soft light and beautiful. If we put them in the Masters hand, don’t be surprised if some of the problems just melt away. Don’t ever underestimate how the power of prayer works. I walked away from my kitchen window with my cup of tea, hot and freshly made, with just a dab of honey and a splash of cream. Sat down in front of my computer and decided to share my Jesus Moment with you. Have a Blessed day!

Wild Flowers

   I want to share a poem that I had wrote for my mother. She had the best friend in the whole world and her name was Donna. They by no means lived next door to each other, there were many miles that seperated them.My mom lived in Archerwill and Donna in Maple Creek. But you would never tell, because every week one would phone the other and they would catch up on what the week held for one another.This went on for years and of course they would visit each other . They were there for each other to give comfort, encouragement  and they would cheer each other on. They were each others rock so to speak. It was Donna's dream to move to Archerwill when she turned 65, after she was on pension.  Then the unspeakable happened, Donna was diagnosed with Cancer,  and it progressed rapidly. My mother even though physically couldn't be there, she would phone her and encourage her all the way through. She was there for her and Donna knew that. Donna died on a quiet spring day and just like that she was gone. 

 Her grief for her best friend was heart breaking, of course she wasn't alone she had her family to comfort her. That just doesn't replace the gap of wanting to hear her voice on the other end of the phone. I wrote her a poem to try and bring her some comfort during her difficult time. I hope whoever reads it will be comforted or blessed somehow. We all know of someone who has lost a battle or who is in one with cancer.  I have titled this poem wildflowers.

 

 

Friends can be like a meadow full of wildflowers.

Each one unique in their own way.

Some can be tall and slender,

and move with such grace.

While others can be round,

and hardly appear off the ground!

Others look bright and shiny,

while some look dull and plain.

That sometimes it seems,

they don't want to be noticed at all.

As God moves through our lives,

He makes the once plain meadow alive.

But only for a short time,

So we get to enjoy the view.

And if we are lucky we get to pick a few.

I got to pick you or did you pick me?

I guess it doesn't matter,

cause you've made me so happy.

Oh yes, the storms came as they always do.

Unyeilding to the winds that blew,

Just like the stems on a flower

we remained strong and true.

Standing by your side I got to watch you bloom.

Then as the season wore on, I noticed that you did too.

The once strong stem was getting a little bit frail.

Yet ,you held you head up high!

We never see the roots that keep the stem so strong.

Even when hard times came, you still kept going on.

The petals eventually have to fall,

as they dry and one by one fly away.

Each one holding a memory of each day

that went by.

So please do not be sad and do not cry.

Spring has come again  and the meadow is still bare

summer is coming so try to remember me there.....

To Love that Much

Posted by Karen on January 29, 2010 at 6:46 PM Comments comments (0)

 

This morning I was reflecting on how fast the time is flying. How it seemed that 10 years were fleeting moments and how something that happened 2 years ago only seemed like yesterday. Then I started reminiscing about our family. My husband and I have 4 children. I will introduce my seasoned teenagers, I say this with a chuckle, Travis, our only son, is 17 and in 2 short months will be 18. Our oldest daughter, Hailey, is 15. And at this stage of her life, can’t wait to be 16! So she can get her drivers license, and claim more independence. Then there are our youngest daughters, Britney who is twelve and in 300 and some days will be 13! She has the count down going already. And our baby, Brooke, who in a few short days will be 11. I can remember so well, my oldest child, when he was small. He would hold my hand, look up and say to me, “Mommy you are the best mom in the whole wide world!” My oldest daughter would throw her arms around my neck and say the same thing. We share a lot of love, that makes little ones, feel so safe, loved and secure. I cherish those moments and they happened to frequent my days. They made me feel like those days would never end. They were always available for snuggles, kisses, hugs and giggles. My favorite moment,was holding their hands in mine. It seemed like time just vanished from those days to the present. When did their so tiny hands, that at one time, would only be able to grasp one finger (because that was their handful), grow into hands of young adults who now can’t wait to leave the safety of home and create their own lives. Britney and Brooke are only 14 months apart, so they literally are growing up at once, and are just moments from being taller than me! They adore their older siblings and I have noticed in Britney, wanting to be like her older sister. I can see the changes taking place inside of her. The moments where we would be goofy and dance around our living room, are now being replaced with, “Mom, I’m getting to big for this,” then jump in anyways! The desire not to, hasn’t taken over yet. Or having mood swings that at one time where just her big sisters thing, and Britney vowed she was never going to be like that. Well now it is her turn, this is all part of the process of growing and maturing.

I often think of how Jesus views us as we grow and mature in our journey with Him. I can remember when I was first baptized in Jesus name ( full immersion) then filled with the Holy Spirit.(evidenced by speaking in a new language) When this miracle happens, at that moment you are reborn! A brand new creature, all sins of the past are wiped clean and wow, did I ever feel clean! When you repent of your sins, truly have a change of heart and cry tears, for the things you’ve done in the past, things you are not proud of doing. You can have that gone washed away with baptismal waters. Become washed as white as snow, you can’t help but rejoice and praise Jesus. I celebrate His great love for us. When He fills you with His Spirit, words are hard to find that can explain how that feels. Knowing that the same Spirit, that was in Jesus, when He walked the earth is now inside of you is overwhelming. When you receive the Holy Spirit you will talk in a language that you have never talked in before, it can start out first sounding like babbling then emerge into a language very quickly. Suddenly a new walk has started for you in Jesus. He must feel so proud, when we say our first words, and take our first steps in faith. It doesn’t matter if we stumble, just as long as we get back up and go straight to our Heavenly Father, as he is waiting to hold us in His arms .He promises in His word to never leave us nor forsake us. He loves you so much, nothing will be able to change that. Just as you look at a newborn and marvel at how perfect the baby is, He too feels the same way about us. He wants to be involved with every aspect of your life. He cares about things we would never imagine anyone caring about. He wants you to have His gift of the Holy Ghost and to be baptized in his Name, more than anything, that is what sets you apart and makes you his! All of my pre-saved life I searched for this. I seen and experienced a lot of things, nothing comes close to this! We become His, we become part of his lineage.

A song that I love to sing goes like this,

Reach out and touch the Lord, as He walks by

You’ll find he’s not to busy, to hear your hearts cry

He is passing by this moment your needs to supply

Reach out and touch the Lord as he walks by

I want to encourage you today, Jesus knows who you are, where you are and what you are up against. He is never too busy to hear from you. When you feel unloveable, He loves you. When you feel discouraged, he encourages you. And when you feel there is no hope, He gives you all you need. He wants to be your main focus in life and in return he will give you a life so enriched with love, peace, joy and contentment. My Prayer for you is to have a life with Jesus you never thought possible…

My baby still holds my hand when we go for a walk. At times she will lay her head upon my shoulder and gaze up into my eyes with so much love and throw me this beautiful smile and say, “Mom you are the best mommy in the whole world.” Thank you Jesus, for moments like these….

Good Mornings are Blessed Mornings!

This morning, I got an inspirational card from someone very dear to me. And the timing was perfect, because, like so many of us, we need to be encouraged! The saying ,"be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is facing some kind of battle." I marvel at how true this is! There is more, that meets the eye, when you pass by a stranger, or an aquantaince. What is brewing on the inside of their thoughts, what has laid claim on the forefront of their decision making. It could be, "how am I going to tell my family that I have cancer". or "where am I going to get enough money to pay this months rent"." My husband/ wife has left me, how can I go on".

"when did my sweet child turn into this drug addict, where did I go wrong!" I could go on and on. So many carry this with them daily and get so stressed out by it. That at times, it is your smile ,or a gesture of kindness, that will make a difference in their day.There have been times when I have needed the smile to make my day brighter! What kind of battle are you facing today?

In the small town of Kelvington where I live,I believe, on the surface people look happy, and I'm sure some of them truly are. But for some when the exterier is pulled away, there is so much more than meets the eye. They don't know, where they will find the strength to face the pain eating at them day after day.I too face circumstances with my family and outside of the family. I am sure that down the road I will invite you to walk with me as I give my testimonies about how God helped me through them. The point that I would like to make is this, it is sooo much easier getting through the valleys when you have been babtized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost. ( evidence of speaking in a language you have never spoke in before) I can say this because I've been on the other side of this truth. Since I have been on this side of it. I would never want to go back! Does this mean that my life is all roses and sunshine, absolutly not, sometimes storms are in the forecast. My troubles of the day will still be there, it is just so much easier having Jesus dwelling on the inside, to help me, through it all. With the power of the Holy Ghost flowing through me, there is a joy amongst the turmoil.Peace invades the choas and I know things will be allright. When the world comes crashing down around me, I raise my arms toward heaven and give Jesus my worries and just worship Him until I have the strength to go on.Nothing builds your faith better, than trusting in Jesus,as He helps you in your situation. I no longer turn to booze, soap operas (I was very addicted to)or food for my comfort. I turn to the only One who truly cares.And that is Jesus! I want to share a poem I wrote many years ago.I hope somehow, it will be a blessing to you. It came to me not long after I was saved, August 24th, 2001. I was babtized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost...

 

 

Whisper in the Storm

 

Life is a busy activity always trying our best to perform

I am trying to hear the sound of a whisper in the storm

Clitter,clatter, lots of unneeded matter collecting all around

piles of debries making me see, I really need some clean ground

 

Life is a busy activity we're always trying our best to perform

Maybe all I need to do is to listen to that voice in the storm

With all the worlds uncertainties swirling in my head

and all the worries of tomorrow are always getting fed

trying to find the answers;but always feeling mislead

 

 

Listen for the voice of God, he's trying to lead the way

He'll never pounce upon you like a lion upon his prey

Gentle as a lamb, He's a light in a brand new day

putting thoughts in the places that never seemed okay

trying to show me in life there is a better day

 

 

The times are changing so quickly, and the days seem to fly

that's why people feel the urgency deep down inside

scary things are happening there is no place to hide

all we want to do is to sit down and cry

 

 

The bible has all the answers even in this modern day

open it up and listen to what God has to say

He never intended for us to be hurting this way

He has all the answers to clean up the dissaray

 

 

The key here is to listen, to the words written on the page

He wants us to have peace not confusion, hate and rage

if you think the bible is a big fantasy and can't be real

then satan walks in and your soul he will steal

 

 

It's time to wake up , clear the sleep from your eyes

the moment of time is here we need to realize

there is a whisper in the storm, trying to clear the sky

 

 

the message it is simple He is trying to get across

He loves you with an emotion we have yet to grasp

you are so precious, a real treasure he wants to adore

its your decision to open up that closed door

 

 

listen to the soft voice of the Lord

he doesn't sound like a cyclone and come in with a roar

His voice is gentle, restful, calm

free from the sounds of war

 

Tranquil, silent and still, thats how he calls to your heart

come to that door and open it, rest in the Lord

life is always calmer when you're sheltered from the storm

 

God Bless you, Karen

A New Beginning

Welcome to a brand new beginning! This is a new experience for all of us! To God be the Glory, He has opened a world to us beyond our wildest imaginations.. Okay, I know I probably sound really theatrical, but truthfully this is how I feel this morning! The Lord gave My sister in Christ , Lois McQuinn,a vision of reaching so many people at one time, with the gospel. To make this even more incredible, without even leaving her office! If you are reading this, then I'm sure, you have already checked out the rest of the website. It is filled with so much information on so many topics, if you get blessed by it please let her know.. For us this is a lifestyle that set us free from a lifestyle of sin, we want this for you! I am excited, for the future is waiting to be explored. Let us help, to be a guide in your journey. Let the Lord guide you into His beautiful truth, May the Lord Bless you Sis. Karen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
