God's Timing


Well I am not on my way to Kona but to Colorado! I was offered a month long job and the chance to spend time with my daughter and son in-law and of course my wonderful grandbabies. I will be back in November to spend more time with Tenaya while she is at High Sierra semester at APU in Bass Lake and work possibly at Erna's Elderberry House and save more money for my trip in April. Only God really knows the plans for our lives so I will wait upon Him and follow His lead. Thank you for all your financial support and especially your prayers they are felt and welcomed. My comfort zone these past few months has been pulled and stretched and sometimes felt as though it would burst! With the help of our Savior I am sure to perservere. Until next time I will quote a special friend
May you be covered by the dust of your rabbi....

The Beginning


I have come to a place in life where I am in need of God's direction, a CROSSROADS if you will.My purpose of raising my children up in the LORD and being a "mom" after 25 years has come to a point of change. I will always be a mom however their needs are very different now. My main role in their lives now will be of a prayer warrior and sometimes even an advisor.(blessed if they ask)So I am heading out on the mission field. YWAM CROSSROADS DTS.

In order to allow God to lead me I am seeking your prayers and financial support during this time of renewal.The CROSSROADS DTS is especially designed for those who are seeking spiritual renewal, vision or new direction. It is a unique opportunity to know God more intimately, increase in Godly character and become involved in missions.
CDTS consists of 2 phases:

1] a 12 week lecture phase based at the University of the Nations in Kona,HI

2]an 8 week mission phase spent in the Philippines

Both phases require a little over $4,000 each to attend. My heart is to serve, however I have emptied myself out these last 25 years and feel the need to be renewed and transformed for His purpose. I am sure that God will both lead and provide for where He would have me be.

There is another way to support me and encourage a healthy lifestyle at the same time. I am using my Juice Plus business(fruits & vegies in a capsule)as my tent making business similar to Paul. If you are led to support me in this way I would encourage you to go to my website at:
