Women Serving in the Church

August 17, 2010 Reading

Today is opening day for a movie called Nanny Mcphee. I am excited to see this movie with my kids. Nanny Mcphee is not the prettiest thing, but she comes packaged with her unique personality and gifts. She comes to aide and serve a struggling young mother, Mrs Green. The movie portrays much of today's realities of a broken world. The mother is trying to manage her family farm while her husband is away at war. Her kids are out of control and Mom is just plain TIRED!  Nanny Mcphee uses her fun skills and uniqueness to teach lessons of cooperation to the children. She loves on them and serves the family sacrificially and with much humor.

Today as I was reading  Romans 16, a woman named Phoebe was mentioned. Phoebe was a significant servant in the church of Cencherea. She helped, protected, looked after and provided for many. Phoebe's name in Greek means radiant and pure!

Women had a VERY important part in the ministry of Paul. As we find in many verses throughout Romans 16. Paul specifically mentions Phoebe and speaks highly of her and her strong leadership in the church. He introduces her to other Christians as "sister," "servant," "saint," and "helper."  Paul valued her as a radiant light for Jesus.

We as women need the fellowship of Godly women to encourage us into Gods great purposes. Women have the opportunity to help other women struggling with their daily lives. God has a significant purpose for you in His church. I personally encourage you to step out and go to a women's meeting, bible study or other opportunity in your church.  God never created you to stay on your personal island. Each women is hand picked by God, situated in Christ's body just as He desires. God will select the perfect place for you appropriate to your talents and gifts. We all go through experiences in life, your story is important!  God will put the exact woman in your pathway that needs your aid and help. Many difficult areas of my life have been used to draw other women to the heart of God. If a woman feels inadequate for the ministry task the Lord reveals to her, she needs to only remember Jesus' words, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor 12:9).

Jesus' life began with a woman named Mary and ended at His resurrection with a woman at the tomb. The bible recalls several significant women in the new testament and Paul affirms them by name. Friend, you are significant too! Allow God to establish you according to His ways, He has a story to tell through your life. How are you allowing God to use you today?

Blessings,

My Foot Slipped

August 16, 2010 Reading

This past Saturday morning I woke early to get in a morning run. We had an afternoon wedding that day and I was excited to get all dressed up in my new dress. I thought if I worked out before I could loose a quick 5lbs or so and look fabulous in no time! Don't you wish it worked like that? Quick results!

The morning was beautiful. A rising sun, fresh air and a sweet time chatting with my God. I remember specifically speaking to God about my need for His help this day. I truly need His divine aid daily or I end up dominated by the natural desires and stumble over my own self.

Running along I hit a bump in the road and went flying gracefully (NOT) through the air. As I was flying, I had a vision of scrapped up knees in my pretty new dress. I prepared to fall on my hands. Miraculously, I pulled myself straight back up out of the fall and landed on both feet. I know God helped me on this one folks!

As I was doing my daily reading this morning, I came across  Psalm 94:18-19  If I say, "My foot slips," your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul.

I could not help to recall my trip on Saturday morning. I know God caught me. He reminded me today that He wants to hold us and lead us in life. He will lead us away from stress and adversity. Trying to be what we are not is wrong.  God knows what we are and what are purpose in life is to be. Without, and I stress the word "WITHOUT" seeking His word, we will slip. God is committed to us and will not forsake us as long as we are committed to Him. His love will lead us through each and every trial, so that His will is accomplished. He will catch us as we trip. His mercy and grace pulls us back up.

Friends, I need the accountability of Gods word. He enables me to act properly so my foot will not slip. However, we are not promised a smooth road with no bumbs. We will trip along the way. God is all knowing, understanding our struggles, flesh desires, weaknesses and hurts. He has equipped us individually with the resource of His word. This word speaks specific to our personal road bumps and will help us triumph completely over the falls and anxieties. His word is alive and powerful. God desires us to live a life of a different kind. An extraordinary life will not happen WITHOUT hearing His word.

Do you wish for a more graceful walk in life without tripping over your own obstacles? Remember today that God is working on you daily. He promises to hold us by the hand. His goodness is rich to the faithful.

Psalm 139:10 "Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me."
Blessings,

Sticks and Stones

August 14, 2010 Reading

No one will ever hear me being boastful and saying that I am a perfect example of Christ-likeness.  My learning process is forever ongoing and one can only hope that the right path is the one chosen.  However, we all know that the right path is not chosen all of the time.

God is quite convincing when it comes to putting the exact people needed in my life at the precise moment they will be needed.  When someone is going through a hard time and they are trying to climb out of their valley or "cell" they do not  need to be judged or made to feel bad.  In fact that is when others that have already felt God's love and mercy should surround them and help them to see what God has in store for them.  It is a beautiful thing to see someone grow and flourish in the Lord.

Romans 14:13 says "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.." 

Life is hard enough without fellow Christians that have already been down a bumpy path throwing road blocks in the way.  It is very easy to judge others and think that your answers or insight is the "correct" ones. Criticism is nothing new to me, it is quite helpful, prayer and bible reading always tells me whether I need to change or continue forward.

Romans 14:4 states, "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." 

Romas 14:22 states, "Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth." 

Trying to serve God is hard, the bible is a perfect set of instructions for us to use.  Some people do not use it nearly enough, personally I didn't and then my life was turned upside down for awhile.  Once I turned back to God, going in the right direction was much easier.

My hopes for you today is that you can use the Word today and apply it to yourself and see if you stand for what you believe in and truly try to abide by it.  Of course we all fall short, but giving up is not the answer, keep plugging along. The precious word says "My Grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Remember that God has a huge purpose in mind for all. Let us be reminded through today's word that we should not focus on ourselves but rather others, seeking not to present a stumbling block to their faith. A stumbling block refers to any attitude or action that causes another believer to sin or to become confused about God's character and purpose. Let us be encourager's today!


Trying to be what I believe,
Kari

Forgiven and Set Free

August 13, 2010

Hi everyone!

My name is Kari and I am friends with Heather, she has been my mentor for a few years now.  She found me when I was in my lowest valley and provided much of the light I needed to find my way out of the darkness.  God put her in my life to push, no actually shove me in the right direction.  I am really hard headed to begin with, after an abundance of bad choices I found myself looking for God in all the wrong places! 

By nature, I am a “fixer,” but in my journey I have figured out that I truly must let go and let God, this is hard for me.  I struggle everyday with this. 

Heather is convinced that I am hilarious and have words that will help someone.  I love her to death, I know I would not be here if it was not for her.  I do not think being a comedian is what God has in store for me.  I could be wrong, I usually am, but I guess you all will have to suffer through while I am finding my path.  Heather has asked me to write the devotion on Friday's.  God is working something extraordinary in my life right now, just kind of in limbo while waiting for my directions in the mail…probably will be waiting for awhile though.

After reading the scripture for today, God knew this would be the perfect passages for me.  These passages talk about my testimony and life.  I was released from Oakland County Jail on March 23, 2009.  The scriptures in Psalm 88 hit very close to home for me.  I truly felt that my soul was full of trouble, certainly felt close to death.  In jail it was nothing but emptiness and loneliness even though it is ram packed full of people!

Psalm 88:2-8 “Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.”

The book of Romans speaks about adhering to authority and knowing that you must do so in order to be obedient to God.  Romans 13:1-2 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”  I do not like to be told what to do and how to do it.  Being in jail brings you to your knees, quick and in a hurry!  After my tears, my self pity, and the why me period, realizing that if I can be obedient to the guards in jail like that, why can’t I be obedient to God?  The world tries to control us.  We do not get that if we turn ourselves over to God, then we would be much happier.

Now don’t get me wrong, life will never be hunky dory, but it can be acceptable and pleasing if we try to be satisfied with what we have and not worry about what we don’t have.  I realize that my physical jail was very real and it was not fun, however not everyone is in a physical jail cell.  Sometimes we are in a makeshift jail cell that we have created from our own life’s circumstances.  Please know my friends, God is standing there waiting for you to call out to Him, he has the keys in his hand to let you out and set you free.  It is truly awesome to see how God has changed my life and made things different.  I strive to cling to what is good and hope to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.  I was living in shame, guilt, embarrassment, stress, and anxiety for a very long time.  Even though I was away from my family for that time, I was forgiven and set free!!!  I urge YOU to read the scriptures today and think of your “cell” and then call out to God and ask him to rescue you.  He will hear you, He is waiting for YOU!

Forgiven and set free,

A New Texting Code: TWF

August 12, 2010 Reading

I have become pretty good at texting these days! The idea of exchanging brief written messages back and forth is not easy for a girl like me. I have too much hot air to expel from my lungs and half the time I feel like I'm going to explode when texting. My kids do not think I am very good at exchanging "short" messages back and forth either but guess what?

NBFAB! (Not Bad for a Beginner).

For the longest time when I received ROFL on my phone I thought someone was getting sick and ralphing but they were really (Rolling On The Floor Laughing) Ok, I know its time to LOL (Laugh out Loud). My mother is even a better texter than me. Right mom?

Text messaging has become part of my daily life and I will admit, it is a great way to communicate a quick comment. So I have decided to create a new text code today because I have a quick comment that I would like to emphasize to my children in the middle of their busy lifestyles!   
The text code is TWF. Now follow with me and you will discover the code.

In today's bible reading, I came across a passage in my bible that I  had highlighted in yellow. If something is highlighted in my bible that means I better emphasise this in my life.

Psalm 86:11 states "TEACH me your ways, O Lord; I will WALK in your Truth; Unite my heart to FEAR your name."
This one promise has taught me 3 very important value points. I hope they bring as much value to your family as they do to mine.

1. TEACH = God will offer us direction and instruction each day free of charge. He will show you wondrous things. But how often do we really ask God daily to teach us His ways?
2. WALK=  He desires us to walk in truth. This refers to our lifestyle and commitment to the Lord. In Romans 12:9 it shares "CLING to what is good."  The book of Romans in the bible was written by Paul to the Christians in Rome. He wanted to instruct them how to live as Christians "CHRIST LIKE".  What really grabs my attention in this context is that God used Paul to teach others how to behave. Paul had taken a 180 degree turn from where he had been. He was a Christian basher to Christian champion. When Jesus captured Paul's heart, He got all of him! The same can be true for you. No matter who you have been or what you have done, your christian life can be complete, filled with passion, purpose and power. Do you desire to walk in truth? When you begin to desire you will then cling to what is good. My first prayer was "Lord, just give me desire to walk in truth and an appetite to crave a Christ like life."
3. FEAR=  Proverbs 19:23 shares "The fear of the Lord leads to life" Fearing the Lord is about reverence and obedience.  He does not want us to have a spirit of fear, but a sound mind.  We easily become fearful when our marriages are falling apart, homes breaking down, children rebelling, temptation that is hard to overcome, loneliness, loss of loved ones and many others.  However, remember my friend, He has wondrous things for your life!

So you are probably wondering what that text code means right?  TWF  is my personal text code to emphasize an important reminder to my three precious children.....Ask God to Teach and direct them, Walk in truth and watch their lifestyle and lastly Fear the Lord with obedience and respect. 

I pray for you to claim today's promise Psalm 86:11, ask God to teach you His ways, help you to walk in His truth and lastly open your heart to fear His name.

My new personal contact information will be coming soon. If you need to reach me on a personal level feel free to email me at:

TWF friends,

Mystery of the Broken Statues

I was chuckling to myself this morning as I was recalling some of the late nights of packing my special things before our recent Big move. Oh yes, one box at a time!  I specifically remember one evening taking one of the figurines off a shelf to pack away and noticed she had been attacked by a glue gun! Her broken parts had been grafted all back together in a mysteriously odd fashion.

Her right arm was glued to the left side and her head was glued on an angle and she was missing her left hand! All grafted so nicely so mom would NEVER NOTICE!  Trust me I began searching down the glue gun grafter! At least they used the glue gun and not duck tape!

This favorite figurine of mine all broken and glued together reminded me of Romans 11:19-24.

Verse 19 states "the Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."  The branches in this bible text represent you and I in our broken unbelief state, we are broken off from the plan of God which was engineered for our life since birth.

I find much comfort this morning knowing that no matter how bad I have screwed up, God has taken my broken branches of shame, unbelief, ineffectiveness, doubt, rebellion, ignorance and hurt and reminded me through His promises today that when I turn my heart toward the Lord with humility, He will graft me back into the tree, which represents the plan of God!

God desires for us to be happy. God has a grafted plan full of destiny, meaning and purpose!

In yesterdays post we learned an important truth that "God is Able" to graft them in again. I also know that God is perfect in all He does. So I am most certain that He does not go crazy with His glue gone and smack the broken branches back together. Realize today, that ALL things work together for "your" good. That means that all the broken branches are engineered together perfectly for the greater plan. When the Lord does His transforming work in your life you will not sit on a shelf easily noticed that your brokenness was sloppily glued back together. No, my friends you will sit on a shelf as a perfectly grafted figurine sparkling in the beauty of grace, wisdom, knowledge and goodness for all to see. Not one speck of glue will be noticed because God is perfect and He will make us perfect in His love.

John 17:23 "I in them, and you in Me; that they may be made perfect"

Friends, believe with me today that God is faithful to do what He promises for you. Do not let the glue guns of this world try to graft you back together because you will appear broken on that shelf.

Turn your precious heart towards God and let Him begin to graft you back into His wonderful masterpiece, your brokenness will be beautiful.

Now, I have a crazy question...am I the only mom that has come across the figurine on the shelf that looked attacked by a glue gun?

Today's Biblical Promise and Reading

Beautifully broken,

The Women's Restroom Prank

Hello friends and family,

I am so thrilled to launch, share and journey with you through the new and revised daily devotional BLOG.

Thank you, Kari Chasen for coming alongside me and using your gifts in  marketing and computer savvy skills!

I have personally taken a sabbatical/rest from ministry......I AM BACK!  After moving our family to a new hometown, relocating and adjusting in a new church home (Northridge Church, Plymouth, MI), letting go and saying goodbye to many special women that have impacted my life, lastly with much pain and hurt I had to lay down the dreams within a women's ministry called "W.O.W." where I passionately served as ministry director, teacher, speaker, counselor and friend. I needed to take some time away to realign myself with the footsteps of God and the plans and calling He has for my life.

There is a lot of EXCITING things happening around and in my life. I am ready to step out in faith not fear and say "yes" to God one fresh step at time. God is blowing new life into a past dream. I just had to be obedient to lay down some dreams because no dream is more important than Him. After all, His visions are further reaching!

I can go on about all God is doing and adjusting in my life for His purposes, however this blog is not about me! It is about you and me communicating the biblical promises for the day. In each post you will find the bible reading for the day and week at the very top of each post.  I will utilize a bible promise from that days reading that stood out to me. I will then apply that particular biblical promise or promises to the REALITY of my daily life to teach, comfort and encourage others in a fun, practical and real way.  I encourage you to read the daily bible reading posted after the blog entry. You can even post a comment on how you experienced God through a biblical promise that stood out to you . Maybe you just want to comment on the blog post and how it has helped you draw the necessary courage to trust God that day. Remember everyone has a good answer and will help another reader!

A typical post will look like this:

I needed to stop off to use the bathroom during a recent road trip to North Carolina. My girlfriend followed behind me as we rushed from our car into the McDonald's girls room! As I stood in front of the door the word "OMEN"  jumped out at me. It sounded like a beast of a word and I was not entering! I turned to my girlfriend and said "This is for Omens" and went searching for the woman's bathroom, still confused about what an Omen was in North Carolina! I was convinced it was the janitors room or a secret storage of some sort.  My best girlfriend followed my wanderings and confusion until the BIG LIGHT BULB moment hit us....the "W" in the WOMEN sign somehow disappeared.  "OMEN" was all we seen, not even a triangle figure of a women was engraved in the door to help us realize it was the ladies bathroom!  Friends, this only happens to two very tired girls that have been in a car far too long...brain dead!

The last few days the word OMEN has not left my mind. I was a truth seeker for many years during a point in my life. Tasting sweet and dangerous honey's in life. Always waiting for the real sign or OMEN in life and was desperate to find it anywhere. At one of my lowest points in life, I had no where else to turn and I asked God to help me. In my darkest hours I found true light to bring me where I needed to go... Directly to the heart of God!

The Webster's dictionary states that an OMEN is a sign of something about to happen. An unstoppable force of irresistible change; good or bad.

After today's reading I was reminded of Gods goodness and mercy in becoming the WOMAN He has intended for me to be. As I continued to reflect on the word OMEN I have been reminded that a "woman" who sets her heart toward God will experience His unstoppable force of goodness, riches, wisdom and knowledge. His ways are unsearchable and past finding out! The unstoppable force of an unexplainable God grabbed hold of a broken, wild, weak, disqualified woman like me and grafted me into His plans and purposes.

Romans 10: 23 states" God is able to graft them in again"

Romans 10:36 reminds us that "For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory, forever"

Remember in today's biblical promise that GOD IS ABLE!

Thank God for the person you are becoming today or ask God to help you turn away from unbelief and the accusers voice and turn towards Him.

God is true to His promise,

DEFLATED MATTRESS AND NO COFFEE!

What a morning! I told everyone in my last post that we are all on air mattresses for this last week in our old home. We make our transition this Friday. Well about 3am I heard my hubby mumble "I think we are sleeping on a hard floor, we have a hole in the air mattress" I was so tired that I thought I was dreaming all of this. I even thought I was sleeping on a hard floor in my dream, the dream felt so real at the time. Well, when my alarm went off at 6am I was shocked that the floor that felt so HARD in my dream was a reality! I think my lab jumped in bed with us last night and put a whole in the mattress!
I told myself as I got up off the HARD floor that "this is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!" I then headed downstairs to make my morning coffee and discovered someone left me about 1 teaspoon of coffee, now who leaves that much coffee and puts it back? My hubby thought he was being nice by leaving me enough for a Dixie cup! I really enjoy that morning coffee and now I was really trying to adjust my attitude! So I told my girls to hurry and get ready and Ill take them to the local doughnut shop for breakfast. Out the door we went at 7:15.....As I was in the drive through line I noticed it said 0 MILES TO EMPTY with 5 cars in front of me!!!!! Ok, now the morning was getting to me. I had to get out of line and get to the gas station. I did not plan on getting out of my car! I will not even tell you the PJ's I had to pump gas in!!! I was the laugh at the gas station I am sure!
What a morning that was certainly a little off course..... ya think? But God reminded me of how important it is to stay on course with Him. Some days can bring DEFLATED SITUATIONS, EMPTY COFFEE CUPS and A LACK OF FUEL. But we need to adjust our mental attitudes. This is not easy many times. Situations can be difficult and leave us feeling like we are on HARD GROUND!
Gods word says Romans 12:2 "and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God"
Life can present challenging situations but God has made a way for us to have a new way of thinking in the midst of every situation. It has been made possible through the Holy Spirit. I am thankful God changed my thinking today and got me back on track.
Remember in the beginning God spoke EVERYTHING into existence and it was GOOD. The world began to SPIN and God was still speaking and ordering everything into place. If your world is SPINNING allow God to continue to put it all in order! God works all things for the Good!
Have a great day friends and I pray that God renews your mind through the Help of the holy spirit! May we process our deflated, hard situations with His absolute truth.
God Bless
Heather

Put the movie on P A U S E!

Hello Friends!

I know it has been awhile since I last wrote and many of you have emailed me to see what has been going on in my life! I am so grateful for all my friends and family! I promise as soon as we get settled from this BIG move I will blog weekly. I really am excited to stay in touch with all of you through this blog! I think we can have real fun communicating, learning and growing as we watch how God speaks to us in our lives!
Well, the BIG MOVE is this weekend and next weekend. CHANGE is a huge part of my families life right now. We are making changes in almost EVERY area of our life! Now that can be stressful but you must make your attitude see it as an adventure! WE believe together as a family that God is up to something big in all of our lives. But unfortunately God never gives us a 7 step formula, He desires for you to take the sense of adventure! Nothing is very easy, predictable or comfortable at this time for our family. As a matter of fact starting this weekend we will ALL be on air mattresses in the family room together for one week, this should be an adventure in itself!

During this move I have reminded my family and myself that its not about us or the new adventure. Its about the Author and perfecter of our faith, who wants to write his story through our life. And if you read through the bible you discover that His favorite genre is Action-Adventure!

I am personally so excited right now about all the changes that I just want to get where I think God wants us to go very, very quickly! But that is not wise Heather! God has been really reminding me to SLOW down or I will miss the divine opportunities. It is so important for all of us to pace ourselves in times of change and stress. We have to be careful not to put our own spiritual blinders on and become our own interruption to Gods plans. This is so difficult for me! I want to be on a wild dash and run this journey so fast but it puts me out of stride with the spirit of God! Does anyone relate to my personality?

So God has reminded me that He has pushed the P A U S E button on my story! He really has to teach me to slow down! I want to share briefly what he has showed be and if anyone is crazy like me in times of change or stress I hope this is a reminder of why we need to "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10

P A U S E

P is for POSITIONING. God is always wanting to reposition us for the next chapter of the story He is writing for your life. But sometimes life brings us curve balls and we don't understand things. It is then very important to P A U S E. This is when God does something great. Will you allow Him to position properly so you can possess all His Purposes he has already written for your life. If you do not PAUSE you will RUN right past them!

A is for ADJUSTING. God is like our spiritual Chiropractor. If you allow Him to adjust you the twists and turns in your life will be a joy and not a heartache! Adjusting to change can be hard. If you are adjusting to a loss, illness, financial stress or anything else that causes the aches and stiffness to set in, allow God to adjust you.

U is for UNDERSTANDING. God wants you to have a peace and understanding in your life. He may not tell you all the details but He will teach you how to trust and understand His ways! This is the only reason we all still exist here on earth! God is desiring for our Understanding. He will use any and everything in our life to get His attention. How is your Understanding? Have you been stuck in a rut lately? how is affecting you?

S is for SURRENDER. I am learning to surrender all mu unknowns to Him who has created and already written my book! He knows how the story ends! I would be a fool to go off and write my own story! My success in this life is contingent upon my security in SURRENDERING. But I will admit, if you do not understand how God works then the surrendering is next to impossible.

How do you see the troubles, disappointments and surprises of life transforming you into the person God wants you to be?

E is for EXPECTANT. This is my favorite word. I have to put all my energy that allows me to run ahead of God and funnel it through the feelings of EXPECTANCY! This has helped me release any anxiety about what God has waiting ahead. I have stood on Him promises and visions He has given me. I am staying EXPECTANT on every promise and vision. I know God will position, adjust, help me understand and teach me to surrender. But its up to me to stay focused and Expecting all the BEST God has! His word says in Ephesians that He will do EXCEEDINGLY and ABUNDANTLY more than we can ask or imagine.

I am going away in July to learn how to take my gift of writing lessons and books and learn to better position myself into Gods purposes. I also am desiring to travel more with my speaking. I have written many visions down for years and God has brought many to pass. I know now He is moving me to Learn and Grow so I can spread His love and Word and accomplish even more with the gifts He gave me! Its important in ministry to stay on your knees and also surround yourself with others and you share your love and creativity. God will shape you and bring you to your DREAMS!

Habakkuk Chapter 2 in the bible says " WRITE THE VISION and make it PLAIN on tablets" see God tells you to write your desires down! But in the book of Habakkuk God also teaches us to Stand, Watch and WAIT for what God tells us! This is the part when God pushes the PAUSE button!

I encourage you to read the book of Habakkuk! It is only 3 short chapters!

Let me know if it inspires you to DREAM BIG WITH GOD!

I love you all and after the Big move I will be writing more!

Lets stay in touch.

Blessings
