And Noah obeyed God!

Wed, 6 Jun 2007 09:16:00 -0500

We need to write more children's songs that bring out the biggest points in Biblical History. When Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, who was responsible for the walls falling down? When the horse and his rider were thrown into the sea, who was defeated by God's amazing power? When God judged the earth with a flood, why was Noah and his family saved? Look at it from this side - when you think of Only a boy named David, what were the points that stood out to you as a child? It was the sling or the tumbling down wasn't it? Would it be great if your memory was a reference to God's amazing power and provision for Israel in the obediance of his servant David? Well, you learned that in vacation bible school or Sunday school, - from your teacher. Someone start thinking of what the most important points are going to be for the children later in life and start writing! We don't have the rest of our lives to save the world, and the children of the world are receptive to God's word more then anyone.

Spotlight on Orphans - Still going to Africa

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 11:39:00 -0500

Please visit this link to Spotlight on Orphans there are some amazing pictures as well as information regarding 4 children's homes in Kenya. Very real, and not depressing as some people put it. The little boys smiling in bed on their grass mats side by side with little floor space. Happy little boys! Many of you know of my desire to go to Africa. I just know I am going. There is so much to do, and I can help. I may not have what it takes on a lot of fronts, but the Lord does. Does anyone else have an interest in going to Africa? Please leave me a Comment or Private Message, I'd love to talk more with you!

I found an online Haitian Creole Bible - Kreyol Bib la

Sat, 24 Mar 2007 14:32:00 -0500

Well, I don't know if anyone reads my HSB anymore, but I thought I'd update a little. Things are going good, Isaac got me a wireless router so I can use my laptop now. Yay! We went to Port-au-Prince last week, it was fun and I got a lot of pictures and videos. It's hard to upload very many though. The Bib la I found is at this link - http://www.gmth.org/Creole%20Bible/index.htm

The Lord is good! Haiti - Here I am.

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 11:05:00 -0600

Hi all,

I am in Haiti currently serving the Lord at a Children's Home until April 17. Arrival was 2 weeks ago, and I feel that I am supposed to be doing more. Where do you want to send me Lord? I am missing everyone, but the need is so big here. The children have hurts and need loving, and the Lord knows each and everyone of them need to be trained in his ways, but there isn't enough help. Can I do this? The missionary we met on the flight to Port-au-Prince, keeps coming to my heart. She is helping at an orphanage with twice as many children as we have here and they are all older. They don't have enough food. I want to help them so bad. I've always thought I would adopt, but I can't help but wonder if the Lord can use me for more. There are sooo many children and they can't all be adopted. What is the bigger solution? At this point all I can do is Praise the Lord for the Homes he is giving to the ones he does.

If anyone would like to know more about my Haiti trip or adoption etc, please visit my current blog at www.haitichildren.genesisgenius.com I am updating it as often as I may.

Once again, I am at a turning point. Give me a door, I'll take a chance.

So, Opera is not allowed on Homeschoolblogger? Gosh all golly... This isn't about singing, it's about JavaScript! (I'm not talking about Coffee either.) I protest the changes made to Homeschoolblogger scripts. I cannot use my favorite browser. :(

OK, that was my rant in response to losing my post due to HB script.

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF)

Yesterday, Dad, Benjamin, and I, went to the MAF "grand welcoming" in Nampa. The MAF headquarters of the US just moved from California to this area and I must say, it was so much bigger then I had expected to see. The operations they have going are giant. The facilities are very well designed and accomidating. Computer systems are very impressive, and the people were amazing. There were Missionaries that served in so many different countries. We talked to Judy Olenik who shared some of her stories about living in the D. R. of Congo. She served 17 years altogether in Africa, countries including Madagasscar and Kenya. We talked to Jim Manley who served in Ecuador, South America for 17 years. He was really interested in some of our ideas including the Solar Radio that we can build into a book cover for around $1. Carolyn Bailey, who works in Learning Technologies. She was very up to par in Linux. They use Linux with Windows emulators, which is really cool. They gave us the whole study course on CD which we will be able to upload and make available for download. (I will let you know so you can get it!) If I remember correctly, the course has 20 different versions of the bible within 16 different languages. I would consider it highly usable for somone wishing to study languages, because of the familiarity you would have with the Bible. We also met Operation ACCESS! which is a really really neat program they use to see where work is more needed and evaluate what is being accomplished.

The Air Planes were very neat too. We got to look in some of them and some people got a ride, but there were thousands of people there and we were there later in the day so we didn't get a chance to fly.

The crazy man who got saved.

My friend Matthew gave me some Chick Tracts to give out at my work place, (a Coffee Shop). Ocassionally there will be someone who is open to hearing about the Lord and I will share with them, and I thought these might be a good idea to have to send with people. I was given a box with an assortment, so I set them up on the front counter with a little sign on the box reading "Free Comics". Well, I was in for a surprise today, which could only be the Lord, (I give him all the glory!) you see he used the tracts and me to cause a man to come to repentance!

The story goes like this... At around 08:00 this morning, a very strange man walked in the store. He announced for everyone to hear "Hi! I'm a stranger... Hitchhiker... Do you give sample coffee?" Well, I'm not unused to strange people, and I've learned that the Lord wants me to treat all people as himself, so with great joy I offered him a large cup of coffee on the house. He was delighted. While I served the customers in front of him, he picked up a copy of The Fool which I had left on the table and began to read it. The customers who were inside soon left, and this was my chance! I got him his coffee and told him to go ahead and take some of the comics with him, so he selected 3 and put them in his pocket. He said he remembered reading This Was Your Life and that it was a "Trip" for him. He liked that the guy turned good in the end. Now, before you start thinking this guy was somewhat normal, please note, he was nervous and gabby. Some of the things he said made no sense at all, and he really wasn't all there. I was pretty sure he was on drugs, and when I asked where he was headed he mentioned a movie about a drug addict who was going nowhere looking for home. I started to pray for him silently, that the Lord would use the tracts. He left, and walked down the road, stopping at a sign about a block away. I could see him pretty well, as a he sat there reading the tracts. I felt impressed to pray much for him, so I did and he came back! Within 10 minutes, he was back. He returned the tracts so that someone else could read them and I encouraged him to take some more so he did. He said he enjoyed "The Peace Maker which at the time I didn't recall what it was about, but the Lord knew. I could sense his longing for peace, and really felt for him when he found the Navy recruitersbrochure and asked to use the phone. He tried to call, but he couldn't dial the numbers correctly. He was able to dial the 1 800 number and talked to a couple of different people about joining the Navy. Unfortunately for the person on the other end, he was making little sense. After this, I asked him about his life story and what he was searching for. I continued to pray and ask the Lord to give me word to say and that they would be his words to his glory. I asked him if he was saved, and he said "Yes! Of course." but I probed him a little and he said "You don't believe I am saved do you?!" and I said "Well... I have a hard time believing it." well, he got kind of tense, and paced a little bit, then admitted much more then you might want to hear, including "Well, I've walked with Jesus. He's a brother. I was there when he died." and "I am the Lion of Judah". This was rather alarming. I said, which much more gut then I know I have, "That is blasphemy!" and "Christ is the Lion of Judah." He uttered some more non-sense about Budda and some others and he wasn't going to hell. More words that I could not have said of myself told him that Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father, but by me." and "The bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." He again proclaimed his own righteousness was sufficiant. I said "I see the struggle in you and I command the devil in you to leave in the name of Jesus Christ" Well, again, he stepped out, ready to go. He came back in and I offered him some food. He had some pasta salad, over which I was able to talk to him some more. I told him of God's love for him and his desire to free him of his bondage to sin and that the Power of God could deliver him from sin and death. I had a customer at the window and he muttered something about "dark to light" when I was back, he became upset. "I'm not going to hell." He was ready to leave and heading out the door when I asked the Lord for more help. I hesitated for words to say, then said "God Bless You". He poked his head in the door again and said "Is Ghandi going to hell?" and I said "what?" and he repeated the question. I said "I don't know a Ghandi". He marched right back in. "I just don't like it when people tell me I'm going to hell. I am God's will." then I had to help another customer at the drive through. He paced around a minute. The struggle in him was very evident. He jumped out of his chair. "I don't want to go to hell. Can we pray? I want to pray now!" so we were just about to pray when another customer came. I helped them, and was back again. He didn't want to pray, so I did and I asked the Lord to fill this man with his Holy Spirit that he would be his people and that God would be his God. In a moment, when I look up, his face was different. The demon was gone! He stepped out for a minute again and I prayed. I went and got my bible and took the things out of it that I needed to keep. He just lit up like a candle, and would you believe it, his words made sense! I grabbed my bible and said "brother, I want to give you my bible. Read it, and find what the Lord has said to you..." His eyes were sparkling and he was grinning away "You are giving me your bible?!" He picked it up and blananced it on his head excitedly. "Sister!" Peace was written all over his face. Like a delighed little kid. Well, I gave him a few more words to encourage him to seek the Lord with his whole heart and he said something about how when he was in rebellion against God it was zealous and now he would now have a zeal in rebellion against evil. It was so amazing! Then he wanted to pray again, this time for himself. He asked the Lord to surely live in his heart and to be his God. God had just transFORMED this man before my eyes, and all I could do was praise him. The man told me his name was Allen, and he gave me a green hankerchief to remind me of him so I would pray for him. He left in a jiffy with a skip to his step and peace in his soul.

Jung Personality typing

I am an ESFP. We thought I was an ENFP, then an ENFJ... Then I got confused! I don't really get it, because I don't tend to think along the lines of systems and how they work. It just matters IF they work. I guess one thing I've come to understand about me is that my logic is not really thinking, it's more sensing. I really avoid the little tiny details in the philosophy by kind of feeling my way around them and seeing what the results are. Perhaps it's kind of like, I start at the end and work my way back from results to means, whereas a Thinking person would start from scratch and work through the whole thing until they got all kinds of results to examine. It's not a problem really, because I don't have to spend as much time thinking about things before I get them done.

Beautiful days!

I've got a lot of sun in the past few days... I've been going on walks down to the big ditch and watching the birds for a while, then walking and singing for a while longer. It's a good time to just praise the Lord. Sometimes I get so busy I forget to say "Thanks God!" for all he's done for me. It makes me happy to thank God. I have this funny song I sing with my niece, (she is almost two) it's just "joy joy joy" in the do re mi notes. She can't talk yet, but she can sing "joy joy joy" and it's really cute. It's almost more like "doi doi doi". I don't know what to talk about, so I'll just close off...

So, things are going good. I kind of wonder where time is going. :( I've been doing little of anything, that is, I have been getting little done, but it seems like I am always running. I've been reading Debi Pearl's book "Created to be his help meet". I don't agree with her on every last detail, but she has some good points. I've got some good stuff out of it. I think she is a little to dramatic about "if you do this, you are doomed to fail" type of things, but over all, she seems to have a good outlook. She has a good attitude, and I think that's where she's really gone right, but as far as her writing style goes, some people would probably be rubbed the wrong way. Anyway, I've really enjoyed it so far. :) I recommend it for married women and women who are of marrying age.
