In between places

Do you have big dreams in your heart or a prayer that isn’t answered yet? Do you feel stuck, like you’re in between places, not quite where you want to be yet? Do you want to go to the next level, give birth to those dreams?  Join Beth Jones today as she shares about feeling “stuck” from their car breaking down on the side of the road and from an ebook written by a nurse-midwife on the transition phase of labor – the most difficult, painful stage before the baby is born. You will be encouraged to just hang on, great things are on the horizon for you!

Nehemiah’s wall completed: Doing what God has put in your heart

The damage in Haiti is devastating from the recent magnitude-7.0 earthquake. The Red Cross estimates that 50,000 may be dead. Bodies are lining the streets, people are critically injured, food and water are scarce, and people are scared and traumatized. The situation looks hopeless. Yet God has a great plan. 

Join Beth today as she shares encouragement from the book of Nehemiah.  God put it in Nehemiah’s heart to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Despite great opposition from the enemy and the situation looking hopeless, Nehemiah and the people of Israel picked up their tools, strapped their swords to their sides, and completed the hard work.  This podcast, which is uncut and unedited (other than the very last of the closing), is rough and raw, but in it Beth shares passionately about Haiti and about fulfilling your destiny. What is it that you want to do for God?  Tune into today for refreshment from God’s word that you can fulfill the dreams God has put in your heart.

Let the sparkles fly!

How are you enjoying 2010 so far? I’ve been really busy! But I don’t want to be JUST busy – I want to be fruitful for God’s kingdom, bringing glory to Him! 

This week I went out and bought some “supplies” for the new year. I feel like I am in school again – a new wall calendar, a 3-ring notebook, some sheet protectors, and a new Franklin Covey Dayplanner that is smaller than my previous one, so I can carry it wherever I go now!  It has everything I need…..monthly and yearly calendar, important addresses, tabs to record to-do lists, shopping,  menus, personal and family information, notes….what my coach Cindy amusingly calls “my brain in a binder.”    

The wall calendar I bought is a TinkerBell one, and it shows a different picture of her each month, with a cute expression written on it. This month’s motto is “Let the sparkles fly!”  I really like that, don’t you?

Ready to sparkle and shine in 2010?  Just think about all the good things that happened in 2009 – and I believe 2010 is going to be even better for all of us! 

Speaking of good things……..for those of you who have been keeping up with my blogs on , my friends Pat and Kim Weber, you know that they are home now from China with their adopted baby girl Hadassah. Pictured above are Pat’s and Kim’s three children, with their new “Sissy.”  Isn’t she just precious?  The kids are really enjoying her.  What an unforgettable Christmas miracle for that family! And I love how Kim is dressing Megan and Hadassah like twins.   

From Kim, (she said it was fine to post what she wrote), here is the latest update:  “I just uploaded some new pictures to an album called Hadassah at home (on Shutterfly). I can’t believe we’ve been home a week already. Hadassah was amazing on the way home and slept 7 hours of the 11 hour flight, as well as on the other 2 flights. We are so thankful to God and so glad to be home. She has been adjusting well and bonding with everyone. She is such a happy, delightful little girl. We had a few rough nights with her getting used to the time difference, but she is sleeping well now and eating like crazy. She loves American food. Hope you enjoy the pictures!  Love and Blessings, Kim”

Yes, our God is GOOD!
