Are you there _____? It's me- God: Joel 1-3



Yep- 12 more days left til the 25th!


How about the time left between today and our eternity?

The Book of Joel is such a passionate read; God implores his people to look around at their reality. He wants them to not be satisfied with their present state, but to "Press toward the mark" ( Phil. 3:14)

It's like God is saying
Hellooo! Are you seriously OK with, this!? Here I am , ready to move, on YOUR behalf. What's the hold up?

Sometimes the hold-up is the mere lack of recognition that something is not quite right. It is easy for us to get caught up in our christian bubble, and be so afraid to rock the boat that we have become passive about the transgressors around us. It is easier to turn the blind eye to sin, and figure, hey it's not my problem. But when God made us the SALT and the LIGHT it became our job to unsettle when it came to anything against the sovereign God.

Israel settled for less than what God desired for them, and needed a wake up call.

"Blow the Trumpet" "Sound the Alarm" was this book's thematic.


I'm not satisfied with yesterday's annointing.


Are you in need of a Holy visitation?

Mission: New Tribes

Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things  but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who  actually  want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
