I just want to tell everyone. CIOC has the best drama team. They were out of school today and they asked if they could practice all day. And that they did. From 10 am til 9 pm, but they take lunch and dinner. So take out about 4 hours. That is dedication. God has His hand on them and fixing to show out through them. If you want to be blesse be at CIOC this coming Friday night and Sunday morning. God bless you-------------

WOW!!!!! We had our Fall Festival this afternoon. The puppets was a big hit. Talked to a lady that I had not seen since we done the Pulse. At the end of the evening, the drama team presented me with a card and roses. Of course, I cried. Then , they want to take pictures. I am sure you can guess what I look like on those. All red--eyes and face. But, that was so sweet of them. God's working in the young peoples lives. I praise God for all He is doing. God bless you.

You know the song, "Going to Another LEVEL"? Well, I have gone to another level. The last two or three weeks God has really been moving. Talking about enlarging territories. Oh, my. God has definitely enlarged my territories. Just from being willing to help, able to give up my free time for God's work, I have been able to work with some awesome teen's in doing dramas. The most important thing is seeing God work in these teens and watch their life change.
Of course, I talk about what I do and my church and what happens at church to the people I work with. One of the girls asked me, "Just what is it you do at your church?" I reply with, I help teach Children's Church on Sundays, I help organize major events(Easter Egg Hunt, Fall Festival), and now with a drama team I meet with them when they practice, and whatever else anyone wants me to do. She wanted to know how I spent my free time. My reply was my time was God's do fill. Someone else spoke up and said, "Mary is most happy when she is doing something for someone else. You can tell that by how she brightens up when she talks about it." She was right. It absolutely thrills me to do something for someone. And God has opened doors for me. I thank Him for using me to help others. And I pray God continues to use me. When He stops using me, there will be something wrong I with or in my life.
We don't see ourselves the way others see us. One person sees me busy and never having time for self. Another sees me busy doing something good for others that also satisfies me. I had never really thought about what I do. I know I could not do what my heart was not in.
May God bless you---------------------------------------

HELLO, since I last blogged I have been to a Women's Conference and we have had a speaker at out church from Kenya. WOW !!! What a month. But, this has all happened since Sept. 22nd.
Yesterday I took out children to a local nursing home. I think I got more blessed by the faces brightening up and smiling than anyone else. The kids enjoyed it too.
I thank God for
Abraham. Abraham's family blessed the world. God used Abraham's family to establish principles. Methods change but principles never change. Principles of truth, righteousness, holiness, purity, morality, and family values, have not changed over the years. Abraham maintained a right relationship with God. Where Abraham went, he built an alter. Abraham maintained a spirit a generosity. The age we live in is cured with selfishness. Abraham was generous toward God and also to others. Abraham maintained a disciplined household. In Genesis 18:19 God says "For I know him." God is saying, "I know Abraham. I know his heart, how he feels. I know Abraham's head, I know what he thinks. I know Abraham's home, how he acts." God is an all knowing God. He knows how we feel, how we think, how we act, and how we react.
Three things to be done in every home:
1. Establish God's way.
2. Exercise God's wisdom in managing your family.
3. Exemplify God's will.
Our families need the same priorities, the same patterns, and the same principles that Abraham's family needed. They are not going to come from a book from the best seller list. We get them when we are on our face before God at an alter of prayer. Make a certain place in your home an alter area.
