Beauty in Nature

When the grandeur and beauty in nature strikes a person, his or her soul is refreshed and inspired. When we come in contact with the work of His hands, our hearts go out to God.
From the Book: Messiah, by Jerry D. Thomas

The scenic view or the up close details all draw me closer to God.

Do You Want God's Favor in Your Life?

"If you want God's favor in your life, you must be the person He made you to be, not the person your boss wants you to be, not he person your friends want you to be, not even the person your parents or your husband wants you to be. You can't let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart....………………….. Secure people rely on their inner direction 75 percent of the time. That means for most of the decisions you make, you should not have to seek everybody else's opinions and approval. You need to follow your own heart in light of God's Word and do what you feel is right and good for you."

Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now

Plane Tickets

India, Here we come!!! We have our itinerary and have purchased tickets on credit. I looked up the places we will be stopping and changing planes. I’ve even printed off maps for our scrapbook. Our flights will take us from Kansas City, Missouri, USA to Hyderadab, India. Now we have to have faith that the money will be provided. God is good.

A Blessing

Mike Collins sent me this blessing created by Kate Nowak. I was touched by it and I hope you will be too.

India Mission Trip

In October Michael and I (Kristine) will be leaving with a five team group on a mission trip to India. We are excited about going to India. Michael will run the audiovisual equipment, and I will run the children's program. A pastor and his wife are on the team to serve as the evangelists. We also have at least one nurse to give health talks and health screenings. People will be bussed in from five villages for the meetings.

The Holy Spirit is being poured out in India. After a series of meetings about 150 people are baptized per village. This is in contrast to a few years ago when only 100 people a year were baptized in all of India. Jesus said that the gospel will be preached in all the world and then the end will come. With over 300,000 villages yet to hear the name of Jesus the work is not finished.

Our task now is to raise the money for our airplane tickets and living expenses while in India. If you feel lead to help with this project there are two things you can do. One is to pray daily for this mission trip. Pray for the people of India we will be able to reach. Pray for the safety and health of the team members. A check may be sent to Sunnydale Seventh-day Adventist Church, India Fund. The money will go directly to cover the expenses of this venture. Thank you for your support.

A Blessing From Nature

David and I reciently took our daughters and their boyfriends to Ha Ha Tanka State park in Southern Missouri. We spent the Sabbath Day enjoying nature together. The scenes were breath taking. The wild flowers caught my attention as well. Jesus mentioned flowers . See Luke 12:27
