Fat for Jesus

There were 12 men who walked with Jesus in sandals and robes.
It was not until they has a real understanding of Jesus and the body of Christ
that they begun to make disciples of Christ. They followed, watched and taught.
I like to call them the FAT guys.
F - Faithful
A - Available
T - Teachable
For once it is great to be fat for Jesus. I want to be fat for Jesus.
Jesus wants people to be fat for Jesus.
I wonder as a woman if you think you can make a difference for Jesus?

Are you a received of the word? Always taking in Gods word but never telling others
what you have read? So you always receive and not reproduce?
God wants us to be reproducers of the word. Matthew 28:19-20 says
Therefore GO and make disciples of All Nations......And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always. To the end of the age.
To be reproducers we must "GO" It is an action word.
Are you ready to leave your circle of comfort and follow Gods lead?
Exciting thinks are about to happen when we as ladies of God believe the word of God is worth spending our lives reaching our families, our husbands, our sisters.....

Do you believe God gives you just enough time to do what he has called you to do?
If this is true, what are we doing right now that we should not be doing so we have the time to do what God is called us to do?

Are we ready to be reproducers of the word?
Or are we at least ready to be made ready to be reproducers of the word?
DO you need a Titus 2 friend?
More tomorrow on our Titus 2 friends.
What a joy it is to serve a mighty GOD!

retreat March 25-26

Tonight starts our retreat.
I am excited to spend some time with all of you.
I know that God has some wonderful things planned for each of us.
We have so much to be thankful for I just have to tell you all about it.

First of all Donna's Head aches are better and plans to attend the retreat.
(praise the Lord)
Jasmine and Dawn are better (very bad colds)
I am feeling 99% better Praise God!
Patti's daughter accepted the Lord this week and her and her husband are attending church in Ohio....Praise the Lord
And our dear friend Joyce is ok. She and her husband flew their plane to Florida and at landing the right engine stalled.. God was not finished with them yet and they landed ok. she said she thought she was going to see God face to face last night. Praise God she is ok!!

We have so much to be thankful for. I am in awe of our gracious God who loves us and shows His love for us, that even while we were sinners He died for us and gave us hope!

One of our verses for Friday night at the retreat is
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and Than the end will come.

We must go, we must work, we must do what God has called us to do..
and then someday our struggles will be over here on earth and we will enter our Saviors presence forevermore!! Oh what a day this will be!

Lets praise our Father today, cause he is worthy of our praise!
Love you all ladies, see you tonight!

Great memory! I don't think so!

"Great Memory" do you have it or not?

Your friends says to you "I’ve got to look up the Miller’s number."

You say “Oh, I know it. It’s 333-36 . . ."

Don't we memorize all the time, don't we memorize every single day?
Don't we say to our friends “So if you take I-69 to exit 41, then turn left at Dippy Burgers . . .'You'll find a great new store"

For some reason we can remember information that we use or think about a lot.
If someone asks us about a movie "Oh yea that movie was directed by Frank Capra. It came before It’s a Wonderful Life."

So, My question is why does it seem so hard to memorize the most important things?
I hear this all the time and I am right there with you; “Oh, I’m so bad at memorizing Scripture." “Yeah, I just can’t remember it.”

Memorizing the Word of God will cleanse and renew my mind. It’ll help keep me from sin. It’ll help me say NO to My flesh, and it will protect me from wrong thinking patterns. I think I can memorize more than I think I can.

“Okay, I’ll quiz you first. Let me hear it.” next time you see me quiz me Ok?
“Psalm 119:97. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day

If I truly believed this verse I don't think it would be hard for me to memorize the word of God. If I truly believed that I loved the word so much that I need to meditate on it all day and all night I would be memorizing it today.

My pray of confession: Lord I confess to you today that I am not where I should be in memorizing your word. I do want to know your word and tuck it in my heart, so that everyday as I need your word, your words will speak to me. Lord help me to put this first in my life. Help me to truly love your words like never before. In Jesus name: amen......

Are you with me to? If you are let me know...post how you feel
Love you all
Carolyn

Mission Trip Feb.2011

Mission Trip Feb.2011



( push on Mission trip 2011 in small print. The video will come up)


Ladies this is a great song that Donna Bontrager did for the retreat.
I refuse to not do what God has called me to do.... This is my heart.
When I heard this song I thought this is what we as followers of our Lord want.

I am reminded of the passage in Isaiah 6 where it says
Woe to me! I cried, "I am ruined! For I am a man with unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the King the Lord Almighty.
Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the alter. With is he touched my mouth and said "see this has touched your lips, your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "whom shall I send? Who will go for us?
and I said "Here am I Send Me!"

Are you ready when God calls to say "Here am I send me"?
If you are tell me about it!
See you all this week end.
Carolyn

retreat March 25-26

Hello Ladies!

I am so excited about this years retreat.
We are going to take a trip around the world and getting ready to step
out for Jesus! If you are not signed up, please do so this week.
This Sunday is the deadline to sign up.
I am amazed at the verse in Matthew 28:19-20.
I have read, memorized this verse all my life and now God has showed me
some new things about this verse I did not think about before.
The question I am going to leave you with is this....Have you ever thought
about the fact that God has a radical global purpose for your life?
How might God be asking you to impact All the world. To spend all of your life for the sake of All of God's glory in ALL the world.

Come and join us it is going to be an exciting journey!
You even get to ride on an airplane!!
Can't wait to see you at the retreat.
We are having some special guests joining us on Sat. you are going to love them!!
Have a blessed day!
Carolyn

Post from Lowell Toyer from the DR

This was an note from Lowell (Missionary that is in the DR).
If this is something you would be interested in please let me know.
I think it is an awesome thing to do....OR we could do this as a group from the
ladies group. As you can see ladies, sometimes we do not know who we impact on short term missions trip, but notice Lowells opening remarks....


Lowell writes

Wow I am so amazed how God has used your group to impact so many. It seems like everyday your group gets talked about in some way and it is all positive. Thanks for taking time out to extend the Kingdom.

I am sending you a copy of this so that you can take a look at it and maybe it is something you could get your church (ladies group) involved in. This is something that could really revolutionize our finances here and yet is not a big burden on anyone person. I would like you take a look at this and give me your feedback.

I am sending you a link for a new website that we have put together for our Child Sponsorship Program. The link is: WWW.SIDR.WEEBLY.COM It is not a totally finished product but it is usable. We would really like to see if a group of churches would partner with us to really help us get to a place that we are much more sustainable. We would ultimately like to find about 75 total sponsors but what we are asking is if a church (Ladies group) could help us find 10. It is $35 a month to sponsor a child and the money goes for the child's education. We do not give money to families but we do supply three meals a week. So it does help the family as well. We feel it is such a good investment in the child to give them education and at the same time instill the Word of God in them for three years minimum.

Let me know if that that is something the church may be able to help with. I am not asking the church to sponsor the kids but if we could find 10 individuals that would be willing.
