Our trust must be in the Lord...He must be our ALL in ALL...for it is unto this end that God has brought the world to this time~ TO MAKE CHRIST PREEMINENT!!
Read Ephesians chapter 1 ~ it explains God's actions in creating us...
especially verse 10: "That in the dispensation of the fullness of times, He might gather together in one...all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in Him!"

*NO WONDER JESUS ASKED IF HE WOULD FIND FAITH WHEN HE RETURNED!!!*
2008...This is the year to stand up for the Truth. **Jesus asked if the Son of Man would find faith when He returned... I'm beginning to wonder the same thing. Be not deceived by purpose driven, emerging church mysticism and prosperity believe in yourself messages. Refuse to step into the New Age, shun all cult evangelism tactics...cling to the never failing, never outdated Word of God. Stand Strong!! The Bible speaks of a remnant...take a moment to look up the word...........
January 2008 Happy New Year!! My goal is to be published...imagine that!!!
November 2007 “For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; as you have done , it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head…”(Obadiah 15-16)
I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.(Joel 3:2)
The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for His own inheritance. (Psalm 33:10-12)
November 2007
Finally!!! A November baby: Nalani Marie was born 2 days before my birthday. I'm not alone in Nowonder anymore!!! ;}
September 2007
How September slipped through my fingers is a mystery to me. Terrible muggy weather and mosquitoes made it impossible to be outside and enjoying the last month of summer. And so I wrote...and wrote...and as a result, my first finished novel, The Faeren Lands, is nearly edited and ready to send to a publisher. I guess, in a sense, I made lemonade from September's lemons! Time will tell if it was a good batch!!
August 2007
Already August has stormed into our lives with tragedy and heartbreak with the passing of my husband's father. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of a wonderful man, but we rejoice, knowing he is in God's presence now.
There was a respite right afterward with the first FaithWriters Conference in America, held in Detroit, MI. What an amazing time with some of the most loving and caring people I've ever met. A time I'll truly remember and cherish. I'll post pictures later.
Now we are preparing to fly home for a family reunion and the 90th birthday of my stepfather. Mean while, school starts early, and when we get back there will be a reunion with my husband's mother's side of the family! Viva la August!
In April, 2007, Fred and I celebrated our 30th anniversary, and we now own the family farm!! 2007 is described by the Jewish nation as the year of completion, and that's exactly what's taking place in our lives.
My prayer is that you are letting the Holy Spirit speak to your hearts as the Day of the Lord draws closer... Baruch atem b'Shem Yeshua
Blessings in the name of Jesus the Messiah!
New in 2006
With Israel once again under attack by terrorists, I want to proclaim my solidarity to the Land I love and to the people, with whom my heart is linked, both by blood, and by God's Love.
Jeremiah 31:35, 36
Am Yisrael Chai! ~ The people of Israel live!
Much as I hate to admit it, there are no longer seasons...we just have weather! So don't ask me if it's Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter anymore, just ask if the sun's shining, or if it's snowing, raining, warm or cold! Sounds like a blog topic...Signs of the Times??
2005

June 3, 2003
In April, my first children's short story, Arcelia, won grand prize in RainyDayCornerPublishing's children's short story contest! I wish they were still online!!
WAR
Stars flee the face of terror camouflaged
under wings of steel, mounting through the
clouds of hope denied, painted with Heaven's
colors. Bleeding, bold and brave.
Metallic thunder. Fragments falling, breaking
the shackles holding life hostage, in bondage
to evil's demands. Silence cowers 'neath the
flashes. Watching. Waiting for the dawn of
liberation. Tensions growing, wondering.
Will the outcome end repression?
Will home seem closer than before?
Night wears the darkness like a shroud,
and mourns the loss of innocents, while
victory plucks survivors from the rubble of
despair, and stares at loved ones draped
in the threads of...freedom.
