The Rhythms of His Heart

Jim & Tamara Ritskes, Me, Brother Jeff & my Mom & Dad This past weekend (Feb. 24-27) was full of blessings & excitement!  It was so awesome to have Jim & Tamara Ritskes fly in from Portage La Prairie.  They are such a great couple & are so genuine in their walk and service for God.  I appreciate them & their support through this whole thing...thankful that God placed them in my life.  I  am so excited to work alongside them both....they have become more than just the ED of YFC and his wife, but  they have become friends!  As I heard the presentations & sharing about YFC on Sunday, my heart is ready to go in God's time!  Keep on praying that I'll be there by April!

The above pictures were taken so I could make a prayer card to send to my supporters!  I'm not going to share the one I chose....It's a surprise :)  So before you think I'm full of myself....let me leave you with one of my  favorite quotes -- "Jesus is my beauty. He is my lovliness, my confidence. He is the charisma, the attractiveness that is right and true--that breeds life not death. That points to good and not evil.  The perfume the world, our family, and friends will take notice of.  What is she wearing? Jesus. The answer must be Jesus."

Have you ever just been floating through your day and then out of no where God sends something or someone to kind of give you a "slap" or a wake up call.  These two videos did it for me tonight!!  Sitting here with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye....Oh what God can do if we just stop making excuses & just do what HE wants!

INCREASE MY {OUR} FAITH. (Luke 17:5) January 2012 Dear Family & Friends, This new year of 2012 has started with some exciting things that God is doing! I have thought a lot about how this year will mean a lot of changes for me. Though it may be hard. my heart continues to cry out to my God and ask Him to increase my faith. As you read on, you will see how HE has been doing this! I am OVERWHELMED . . . Several weeks ago you all received a letter announcing the journey God is leading me on with YFC in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. This has been a long road & I am still overwhelmed that God has chosen me to serve Him and impact other's lives for Him as a full-time Female Youth Mentor. I also have been overwhelmed by those of you who have committed to supporting me through prayer & finances. Many times over the last weeks there have been many tears, laughs & shouts of praise to God for how HE has provided in ways that continue to blow me away. I am THANKF...
