For The Love of Borders



 Tonight, RJ and I had the privilege of "baby sitting", the Border's children. Brandon and Mollie Borders along with their son and daughter are missionaries to New Zealand. It just so happens that Monday is their wedding anniversary.  I gladly volunteered to spend a few hours with their children so they could go on a date to celebrate. RJ and their son bonded immediately and had a lot of things in common that they enjoyed. Their daughter stole my heart within the first five minutes. We baked chocolate chip cookies, had pizza and then I made them grill cheese sandwiches. We played board games, science experiments and read some great books. The time flew by.  These precious children are sweet, kind and love the Lord. Most of all, they love New Zealand and truly want to return to their home. Currently, they are traveling raising funds. They are in need of 17 more Partners In Missions before they can all return to the people they love so very much. If you would like to give any support or learn more about them you can do so here.  Or you can send a letter to Global  Missions 36 Research Park Court  Weldon Spring, MO 63304 with the PM entry code 238535. You can also call 636-229-7900 and let them you would like to give to this beautiful family. Tonight blessed me. I love our missionaries and have a heart for Missionary Kids. I was glad to play with them and get to know them a little bit. God is good.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu

One Month

Image
 RJ and I have officially lived in NC for one month. The people here are very kind and nice. Southern food is absolutely delicious. I can easily find a good place to buy a delicious taco. Coffee places are aplenty. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and even more wonderful to make new friends. Soon, I will start teaching and RJ will enter into 12th grade. We are currently looking at colleges. I can’t believe we have come to this stage in life. We miss our friends and family in NY. We especially miss Bethel. Our new church home is a gift. I am so thankful for them. Slowly NC is starting to feel like home.  God is good.

When Grief Rolls In

Image
 Grief can rise from the most unexpected times and places. In December, it will be a year that our beloved Sis. Vickie went home to be with the Lord. She has been on my mind a lot lately. Today, as my son and I were cleaning the church, he asked me about washing the baseboards in the foyer. I had a playlist playing on my phone and as he asked, the song changed to a song that Sis Vickie often referred to believing God was going to heal her of ALS.  I just stood in the foyer, mop in hand, and tears started streaming down my face. I remembered finding her on her hands and knees cleaning the baseboards so that it would be clean for a Sunday service. I remembered getting on my knees with her to help. She taught me almost everything she knew. She was going to teach me how to remove the light bulbs from the ceiling, but we never got around to it. She loved Bethel. She prayed fervently for the saints who filled the pews. She wept for those who no longer attended. She taught me how to forgive a
