- I'm passionate about...
- living for Jesus, my husband, my family, my friends~those who know Jesus...and those who do not! ...life and music.
- My story with God
- I was raised catholic, baptised as an infant, etc..... We went to church every Sunday, and had no idea what the message was. We were always very interested in music, and sang in the choir as kids which held my interest at that time. My mom was the one who took us. My father was a sexually abusive alcoholic, which brought torment to our lives to say the least. As I got older, my mom finally left with us to make a life for ourselves (mom and 4 kids). I decided as I grew up that 'religion' was not helpful, and would not provide any benefit to me, or anyone else for that matter, and that if there was a God, how could he let such horrible things happen to me and my siblings as a child, my view was only strengthened by looking out at the world. So I decided to go it on my own. I got married (and still am), we've been together now for 17 years. My wedding did not include God (which now breaks my heart---but we'll get to that). skipping ahead several years........I was born again Oct 1st, 2006. Leading up to that it all happened rather quickly (but I can see how God had been tugging at my heart only in hindsight). In the fall of 2006 my world came crashing down. I became sick with a simple cold that morphed into many things....worst of which was anxiety and torment. I ended up in the emergency room 3 times within 2 weeks as I had convinced myself that I was having a heartattack, or who knows what else. Finally, the 3rd time, the doctor suggested I maybe take some pills to help manange my anxiety. I could just feel the downward spiral I was on. In that moment my eyes were opened.....but not yet to God. My mom is a Christian, and had been praying for me, which I didn't know about. I went home, and couldn't shake the feeling that there was a way to beat this without medicine, but I just didn't know what it was. So I called my mom, and asked her if there was a history of anxiety in our family, and why did she think I was suffering from this. As I was talking to her my breathing was labored, I was shaking, and I was about to put myself back in the hospital----
Mom lovingly told me that there was not a history of anxiety in our family, maybe there was something I was missing. I talked to her about death, and how I was afraid to die, and asked her if she was afraid to die. She said she was not, because she knew where she was going when she died, she would be with her heavenly father. That just made me begin to weep, because I wanted to have a heavenly father too. She said "Can I pray with you". I said "Mom, I don't think that will help". She said "It can't hurt". I let her pray with me. As I was praying with her over the phone, one of her strong Christians friends happened to be there, and my step-dad(mom had remarried)---so 3 of them who are strong believers were interceding for me for deliverence. While mom was praying, she was asking for the Holy Spirit to reveal to her what was causing me this torment. The Holy Spirit revealed to her the spirit of shame.....and as soon as mom spoke those words, something unexplainable, unimaginable happened to me---- I felt an absolute release, a lifting of heaviness, that I still don't have the words to explain. The physical sensations were that of floating and being carried. Then an overbubbling of Joy that I could not contain. I felt Love flood into my soul, and I knew in that moment, I did in fact have a Loving Heavenly Father, who was drawing me close to him by whatever means. I am so grateful. My life is for Jesus, because he has given me life. I have not suffered anxiety....I can see it now exactly for what it is. I am learning and growing more day by day, and what I now know in the depths of my soul cannot be denied. I pray that all people will know this truth that is Jesus' 'still small voice'. I have this peace which 'surpasses all understanding'. Please pray for my husband who is a non-believer. We have 2 children, and I am raising them as Christ Followers. I was baptised January 20, 2008.
What's interesting..is before my faith. Craig and I were very close and blindly going about our lives. This is proof of the Spiritual warfare which is all around us. Why would one part of the marriage feel so 'betrayed' that the other person has found Jesus. It's not like I have become a horrible person. I am a better person. The Lord has healed me and delivered me from so many things. Let me just list them for you so you get an idea of what a wretch I once was:
Racism (God renewed me in this area immediately--unfair, unequal thoughts towards others were immediatly cleansed from my mind and replaced with thoughts of Love and fairness for all people), Shopping--At times I would spend $3,000.00 on clothes in one shot, Watching Television (instant upon recieving Christ), Vanity, Eating irresponsibily (this one was a recent healing), drinking far too much at dinners and nights out (with the exception of pregnancies), gossip magazines, gossip with friends, Oprah (even had her magazine). I was also very much into the Davinci Code--and referred to it as 'my bible'. But God forgave me from all this and lovingly took me in and freed me from so much 'noise in my head'. In addition to that, He has healed my broken heart from a hurting childhood and shown me how to forgive my father, because of the Grace God has shown me, I somehow, without realizing it have forgiven my father. I don't know exactly when that even happened...sometime over the past 1 1/2 years. His tremendous Grace has shown me so many wonderful things. How could I simply say anything else but 'Yes Lord, I will follow You, and be obedient.'
- Other stuff about me:
- I am a sinner..saved by the grace of God! I cry out to Him constantly..He is constantly in my thoughts. I am working more and more taking captive the thoughts which are not 'of God'....and handing them over to Christ...laying them at the foot of His cross!

Let us go to the Honey Tree
Tonight as i was putting my 4 year old to bed..we were reading his bedtime story, I had a 'thought'.
The story is called 'Sweet Dreams'......a tale from Winnie The Pooh.
Here is the beginning of the story.....
Winnie the Pooh was looking at the most beautiful thing in the whole world. It was more beautiful than the trees or the clouds or a sunset over the pond.
He was looking into a pot full of honey.
Pooh gazed at it, smiling. He imagined all the wonderful times he and the honey were going… Continue

God has never asked me to do gre… Continue

If the weather is not cold then try allowing a bit of fresh air to move around the car and let the child sit in the front seat. This will help the car sickness.

Mission for the Rural People is a team of committed men and women of God dedicated to helping children and the elderly in the Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh; SOUTH INDIA and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We welcome every Christian in our ecumenical mission. Mission for the Rural People is a registered organization.
Eight years ago we set up an orphanage in Vellatur, which is seven hours from Hyderabad by train. At the orphanage we help children abandoned by their parents. An ultimate goal for Good Samaritan Orphanage is to gather 100 helpless and unwanted children. The orphans come from slums, leper colonies, poor families and tribal villages. They come from the streets, rejected by their families and society and left to beg for the very necessities of their lives. In India about 40% of the population suffers because of starvation. They come to us for shelter, clothing, food, education, and the Gospel message. Our main goal is to help and educate poor and needy children. We are helping 58 children now, but this is just a small percentage of those who need help. We do not have any special financial support to run Good Samaritan Orphanage. Everything is funded by the generosity of people like you. We have managed to find sponsors for 26 children, but 32 of them still do not have any regular financial support. We welcome you to become a part of this ministry by supporting one of our orphans. We are living in a
rural area in very simple conditions, however our children are very skilled and together we create a big and happy family. We would like to ask you to help us by sponsoring a child. We call it adoption of heart.
