There is Not a Victory Without A Conflict

(JuJu (L) & Kim (R) I first met Kim about 6 weeks ago. The first thing I noticed about her
was her beautiful Hungarian red hair! (No she is not Hungarian - just the color of her hair is very Hungarian) Of course, my thoughts drifted back to fond memories of being surrounded by women who had this same hair color. So I took a photo of she and JuJu and titled it "Two Beautiful Ladies". (I will blog about JuJu in a later blog.)

Until yesterday, since our initial meeting, I had met Kim only on one other occasion. That was at a recent Women's Conf. It was nice to see a familiar face in the crowd and also a hair color that once again took me back to pleasant thoughts of life in Hungary.

Kim seems abit self conscious about her scares, but they are not disfiguring at all. You see, she is a cancer survivor. Many years ago she was first diagnosed with a cancer in the area of her chin. The day this photo was made she had received a good report from her doctor. Yesterday, she and her husband Jim came by the office. Kim had not received such a good report and they are wanting to pull her teeth.

Please pray that she will not have to have her teeth pulled and that the bone structure will heal and be healthy and that she can live cancer free. She is a wife, Mother of two, pastor's wife, encourager, friend to many..... as the list could go on and on.

In talking with she and her husband, he mention that "there is not a victory without a conflict." As I am writing this, I am thinking about Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper Kim and Jim . He has plans that include hope and a future. Thank God for His hope!

Quote Worth Re-Quoting

Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (that is, He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, prompt-to-do-it) giver.... And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance. 2nd Corinthians 9:7-8, Amp. Some people say you need to "give till it hurts." Don't you believe it. God doesn't want gifts given in pain. He wants gifts given in joy! In fact, those are the only kinds of gifts that please Him. (copied)
I would rather believe for everything and get half;
than believe for nothing and get it all - JM 2007

We Survived!

The annual ladies conference was a BIG success! MANY worked behind the scenes and God blessed with a POWERFUL conference. Attendance was around 300+....... Even though the main speaker cancelled, (the day before the conference began) God had another powerful plan! God used Pastor Judy to speak a Word for the hour! It was a POWERFUL weekend! To God be the glory! And to all of those who helped........THANKS!

Rednecks For A Night

Last Friday night we took time to mix a little fun with all of the work that has been going on. We were invited to a "Redneck Night". Actually, we won the "cutest" dressed redneck couple! My double decker John Deere hat with some bling-bling was the envy of the night! Also my "red neck jury" (jewelry) made from the box of safety pens from Wal-Mart was the Sax 5th (you know dat fan-ce stoe up air in New York City) of redneck fashion! My handsome hubby was looking handsome as ever wearing his " camel hump tie". You know the tie that has to go over your hump (belly)! To get the full effect of his outfit, you would have to see his "Beat Four Mr. Blue aka "duh disguise!" It was a fun night with many laughs......duh............
