<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: FangSong;">Hello, friends! Spring is finally here, the sun is out and the
flowers are in bloom. The past two months have flown by, I feel like I blinked
and the next thing I knew it was April!
Over the past two months, we have received 6 new young women at the New
American Center. It has been a sheer joy
getting to know these young women and helping them adapt to the American culture.
In March, I had the chance to attend a sunrise church service on Eastern Sunday
at Plum Island Beach. The service could not have been more beautiful as the sun
came up over the beach and we sang praises and rejoiced in the fact that Jesus
Christ is risen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 12.0pt;">On January 27, I
hosted a family fun night fundraiser at the local YMCA. It was a good time with
friends as we watched a movie on the big screen, enjoyed each other’s company
and had some good laughs. At the NAC, I
continue to be amazed at how great the children are and how complex their
stories are. Recently, two students and I took on the task of repainting the mural
on the window in one of the main classrooms. We decided to paint a flag for each
student’s homeland. It was a lot of
work, but I have to say, I really like how the windows came out. (See picture below.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

have come to realize just how hard fundraising really is and I am truly
thankful for all the help and kindness I have received from friends during this
time. Currently, I have raised about 14% of my support need for Thailand. If

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;"> In life there are times, events, and circumstance that make us feel as if we have lost control, have no control, or are just along for the ride. But honestly, do we have control over our life?Or does God have control of our life? What does it really mean to give over control to the Lord? Does it mean that we trust God with things such as our emotions, our relationship, our loved ones, our future? In life, we are taught to take control. But the truth is, we don't really have control over things like a loved one who is making bad decisions. We may want to fix the problem, we may want to hide our emotions and control how feel , control what others think about us, but the truth is we can't. We need to trust that God, by his grace and mercy, has a plan for our lives. No matter what is happening right now or will come in the future, it is in God's hands. The Lord has control, even if we don't truly understand.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;">Now, I don't say that thinking this way is an easy thing to do. Giving up control, as I know personally, can be a painfully hard thing to do. However, I also know that God is full of grace for his people and that the Lord has a plan. His plan is far better then any thing that we as his children could have even imagined. Romans 8:28 says: And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (NIV). Proverbs 19:21 says: Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.(NIV)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;">So who's in control? I know that God has control over my life now and my life in the future. God has a plan for me better then I could even imagine. Yes, sometimes it is really hard to let go and ask God to perform His perfect will in my life, but in the end it comes to trust. Do I trust God? Yes. Do I trust that He has a plan? Yes. Is it scary sometimes to let go and allow God to work? Yes. It also really amazing. So there is something to the old saying, "Let go and let God"!</span>The foot prints in the sand !!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06006469681652367935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2568866493917611783.post-12758055324463416582012-11-01T05:59:00.003-07:002012-11-01T05:59:46.121-07:00Little information about my upcoming trip <div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">In
life there are some things that we must learn let go of. In each person life it
is something different, sometimes it a love one, so times it a dream or for
some it’s a hope. But when we let go what happens, do we just drop these things
or do we realize them to God. Lately this is something that the Lord has been speaking
to me about. Now I know letting go and giving that thing over to the Lord and forgiving
is not easy. In fact most times it is a hard and painful process. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes the issue that we have been
struggling to give up has left us with bitterness and hard feelings. Feelings of
anger and disappointment towards that person, situation or things. Most times we
our also <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>left feeling confused and not
wanting to forgive but knowing that as Christian we our called to forgive those
who hurt just has Christ has forgiven. Forgiveness is found many places in the
bible. </span></div>

you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Followed by the parable of the

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What do people see when they look at you? Do they see a mask
that shows an image or when people look at you do they see the other side, the
side behind the mask? When people see behind the mask what do they see? Do they
see a difference, a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>light, do they see
the light of Christ? As Christians we are called to be a light in a dark place.
Our light is recognizable to others in everyday life; this is not always the
case. Lately I have been learning more about the mask that I find myself wearing
from time to time. What does my mask say about me and what I live and stand for?
I have learned that in life it is not always easy to remove the mask but it is
most important to do so. Each time we put on a mask we hide something from the outside
world, either it is a hurt we have or a fear that we carry. But what if our
mask hides our light and hinders our faith? Could our mask make it hard for those
around us to be able to see Christ in our life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t ever want to allow a mask to hinder the light that shines in my
life , to hide my faith in Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Matthew 5:13-16 is talking about this subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In these few verses it tells us that we are
the light to the world and we should allow our light to shine bright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world we live in today is filled with
dark violence from the media to the world around us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If as Christians we hider and hide our light,
then how will we effect the world with the love of Christ? Our love for Christ
as Christians should be a notable thing in our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Christian we should influence the world
around.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">The
river can only follow one way it can not go back no matter how much it wants to
try. Like the river along our walk in life we cannot move back, we can only go
forward. Some times in life like others I find myself wishing to go back to
that moment in time, to spend one more seconded with a person we love, to make
a different discion. To go back to whom I was then or for someone who I was. I
looked how I felt. Each of us has their own moment in times where we wished we
could go back. But like the river we cannot go back only forward, carrying our
past with us. However we can move forward taking bits and pieces of our lives
with us, making us who we are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
of us has a testimony; a testimony that gives glory to the Lord for his
faithfulness in our lives. So like the river, we can never go back but we can
go forward taking and sharing the lessons we have learned along our walks with
the Lord.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>The foot prints in the sand !!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06006469681652367935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2568866493917611783.post-28769126282713323702012-03-30T18:20:00.001-07:002012-07-29T11:54:52.709-07:00thought ....<br />
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just
some thoughts</span></u></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dear friends I would like to
share with you some thoughts that have come up recently in my quiet
times and throw out my every day life here at Bethany.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To begin with I would like
to share a statement that a good friend of mine shared with me during
one of our conversions. “ In we say to the Lord Lord I will go were
you want me to go I will serve where you want me to serve send me and
I will go. While what if we are where the Lord wants us in this season
of life. What if he has us in a specific season so that we may learn,
grow or even find some healing in a area of our lives. Once my
friend shared this thought with me I could not get it out of my mind
it made me think about my walk with the Lord and where he has brought
me and were he is bringing me to. My second thought that I would like
to share is this. As Christians we say that we will walk by faith and
not by sight. However what we do not talk about or share about is how
hard this is sometimes and how much we need to rely on the Lord for
strength because I know me personally there have been times in my walk
where I know it was not by my personal strength that I have gotten
through but by the Lord's strength and grace. My third thought is one
that I believe many Christians have whether you're in ministry or mission
or not and that is the thought about those time in our lives when
we just ask the Lord why I just don't understated. Personally I
found that when it is the Lord's time and not you own the Lord will
bring understanding to these things in Life.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My fourth thought is this,
Why is it as Christians we find our self hiding from the Truth in
different areas of our lives. Why do allow our bother and sister
to hide in shame and fear when as a body we're called come side and love
them as Jesus would. Loving one another no matter what has happened ,
allowing people to remove their mask and show how they are. I say
this knowing that it is not a easy thing to do for I understand
because I have been both those people. The person who wears a masking
hoping no one will ever know what is going inside as that person
that other can take their mask off in front of and lean on. Throughout
my walk with the Lord I have learned from different people what this
looks like and how it can affect a community.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My fifth and final thought
is this, In my walk with the Lord I have found that no matter how
much I want something not matter how much I try to earn or no matter
how hard I work at it if not the Lord's will then it does not happen.
Let me explain have you ever had a plan and then the Lord changes
because it not plan. I found that what it comes down to is this we
have our plan and the Lord has his. To be honest usually the Lord's plan turns out to be a lot better even if we do not see it or
understand it at the time when it is happening.</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In my closing I want to
share one more thing with you and that is this: That know matter what
happens in our lives as long as we look to the Lord and know that we
are the body, we are brother , we are sisters, we are children of God
and through the Lord we are loved, cared for and set free</span>.

But what does this all mean in our walk with the Lord? Will we just walk through these times, just living day by day, or do we turn to the Lord with thanks and praise, thanking God for his faithfulness in are every day life in all that happens?</span><br />

What do we really mean well in these past few weeks I feel as if I have found a better understanding of what it really means to count t the cost to walk throw the shows. The lord tells us to fear nothing because he had already gone ahead of us. He has made planed a path for each one of our lives. He has placed us in areas in our live wither that is the place we work or the place were we go to school or were we live in concordance with his plans. Goes that mean when we cry when we cry out to the lord he says I know. No not at all instead he listen and gives us confer buts people in out lives who can pick us people who can remind us that there is an end. The pain will not last for ever one day our harts will be hole and there will be now more tears. The lord is always there he tells us over and over again that he is their, there is nothing we can do to make our father our daddy go away. When our harts bark his breaks when we cry he feels our pain, when we scream and yell he listens. So cry out to the lord for he already knows and he has gone a head out of love and made a end to our pain. For the pain of a breaking heart hurt but it will not last forever even though it may fell like it will it won't. In the past couple week I have and am learning what the lord really meant when he said thought I walk throw the shadows of the valley of death fear no evil because I have gone ahead. He went a head and he knows. He knows and he will never leave. There is hope even though when walking through the shadows it may feel like there is not. </p>The foot prints in the sand !!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06006469681652367935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2568866493917611783.post-55989154820108498932010-11-25T19:21:00.000-08:002010-11-25T19:34:54.252-08:00inside outthe lord has many plans for each one of our lives as his children we never really know what they are or what they will bring. lately my life as gone from crazy to hard. the other day i was reading in my bible in Matthew 21-28 about the faith of the Canaanite woman and how her faith saved her daughter. this passage made me think. can our faith my faith as a daughter of the king be strong enough to save my loved ones. can my faith reach the lost that i love and save them. this women faith saved her daughter so why can't my faith save my love one. but then i realized that it has to be through my loved one faith that they are saved not through my own. this made my hart hurt to think of love ones who are lost. but then i remembered that my faith can not save them but i can fight for them through praying for them. lately i have also been thinking about forgiveness and how i will never ever have the change to really share how i really felt in that time with that loved one. so brothers sisters if you have not forgiving some one talk it out with the lord pray through it , if you have something you want to tell some tell them do not Waite because you will never really know if your will have that chance. because after all we do not live for us but for the lord. and even throw times get hard and our faith is week and we may find our self's like job asking why or like Johna running the lord is still lord and we need to let him be . he will never leave us or forsake us.<h5 style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">The Faith of a Canaanite Woman<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23655" style="font-size: 0.65em; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top; ">21</sup></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23656" style="font-size: 0.65em; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top; ">22</sup></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me!

Lately I find myself reading john 15. John 15 tells us about how the lord cuts the bad of and make the good bigger and brighter. John 15 also talks about how if we remain in the lord ,he will remain in us. We are the children of the lord we are like trees that are unmovable by waves. As I read john 15 I am remained of who I am, that I am a daughter of the king. That the lord is a good god that he never leaves or forsake me. Through the lord we are giving the strength to over come issues that are but in front of us. I am remind of a saying that a great women of God once told me “ what do you want, how badly to you want it, what are you will to do to get it ” and really as child of the lord what I want to do Is to follow the lord and only do his will. So I know that through the lord I can face anything that GOD buts in front of me. Because the will only give me what he knows I can handle. Yes sometimes I feel like my world is falling apart , it hurt and makes my skin crawl </span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span >but through the dark the lord brings light. </span> </p>The foot prints in the sand !!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/06006469681652367935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2568866493917611783.post-85968912553347228972010-11-07T10:08:00.001-08:002010-11-07T10:24:05.298-08:00walking through<i><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" >The Lord as a plan for each and every person and we never really know what the plan is.
