Finally - Everything's Ready!

I admit it, I'm tired! But also very excited! This evening I completed a major effort that I have been working on since November 08. My work in ministry and in my employment services business frequently puts me in touch with people who are struggling with serious personal and financial challenges; people who fear what the future may hold for them and their loved ones. Last fall as we watched the stock market plummet and unemployment rise, God burdened my heart to respond to these needs by expanding the methods I use to communicate His love with others.

The result?

• A completely redesigned and interactive website
• An encouraging monthly newsletter
• A new ministry series designed to help others walk with confidence on the turbulent waters of life
• and naturally, this blog where we can exchange ideas, share prayer concerns, and encourage one another with real life examples of God's faithfulness.

Even if I never meet you this side of heaven, I am praying your heart will be encouraged, your faith will be strengthened, and your soul will be inspired by what you find here. Since anyone with access to a computer and the internet can enjoy most of these tools free of charge, I will now be able to share my truly incredible, absolutely amazing, unbelievable, your jaw-will-hit-the-floor stories of God's faithfulness with a much bigger audience! Dare I pray, the world?!

You will find amazing testimonies here but even more importantly, I pray you will meet my Savior here. My mission is to reveal Him to you in all of His glory so you also can know a love that can never be lost and a security that can never be shaken!

Here you will find honesty and transparency. I don't get it right every time and when I don't you will hear about it. I will share with you just as openly the times I stumble as well as the times I soar! In fact, look for a "stumble story" in my next post. It happened a week ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. I think that means God wants me to share it with you so be on the lookout!

I am glad you stopped by. Before you go, I need to give credit where credit is due:

First, to my so-very-patient-with-me Lord, who provides the inspiration and reason for all I do. Without You, I am nothing.

And next, to all of the people closely involved with Call to Faith Ministries who encourage me and provide the support you don't see. The face on the website is mine but without these folks, I could not get it all done:

My husband, Jasper; mom, Norma; son Michael and his wife Jessica; and daughter, Casey who patiently serve as my proof-readers and make sure I have the time I need to write these messages. Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean the world to me!

My precious son, Stephen, because of you, I learned what it means to truly live and can now share this priceless gift with others. Words are completely inadequate....

Lastly, all the folks in tech support with ACS Technologies who cheerfully and promptly respond to my numerous website development questions. Special thanks to Scott Dixon - you're the best!

I am blessed to be a part of this joint effort! May we bless you in return. Hope you come back soon!
