What is written in this book began for me over 30 years ago. I was being called to be HIS fire. At that time it was somewhat alarming because Fire is intentional, beautiful and powerful. And now, it is blazing with purpose. A purpose that will accomplish the Will of The Lord for His Children. It is a clarion call, it is alive and active, to protect the children. It’s not just any fire. It’s the Fire of the Holy Spirit needed to get HIS children ready to fly because the kingdom is coming in Power. The hope in the writing of this book is to encourage every parent, guardian, teacher, and grandparent to begin at an early age to instruct our children in the things of God and the WORD of God and impart the FIRE of God. As these encounters with God and His WORD and His Holy Spirit begin to come alive in our children’s lives, they will know who they are in Christ, their purpose and their destiny. The soil of the heart is the most important thing to begin with. Preposterous might be the thought that comes to mind as you read this, but if it speaks truth to your heart then you are one of the few that can help protect the children. You too, have heard the call.
Do you need to change your perspective on some things in life?
I was at a friend’s house a couple weeks ago and something simple but profound happened that I just can’t get out of my head. God showed me something through her five year old son that I want to share with you [the world] today. May you be as encouraged as I was. You see, my friend’s little boy was “making ice cubes” that day. While his mom and I talked, he would run into the kitchen every five minutes or so and say to his mom, “Can I check and see if they ‘are ice’ yet?” She would respond with a happy tone of voice and smile, “Sure, baby, you can check and see.” So he would gleefully open the freezer door in great anticipation to check on his ice cubes only to find that there were no ice cubes to be found! Again and again they were not yet frozen. By about the third go round, in his disappointment, he gasped out a big sigh and said with all boldness, “What’s wrong?!” His mom chuckled at his cuteness and she responded, “Nothing’s wrong. You just need to give it more time, that’s all. It will happen.” Immediately, the word picture popped into my head: Isn’t that a great life lesson for all of us – we just need to be patient and give things more time and they will happen! Just because things may be taking time, longer than we want them to, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong! We just need to give it some more time. What are you eagerly waiting in anticipation for? What is it that you are excited about that you want to see happen? Are you feeling like just giving a big sigh? Are your emotions crying out, “What’s wrong?!” Be encouraged today by the truth of God’s Word that tells us that He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Be patient! Nothing’s wrong! It will happen!
I love it when God shows me something new while studying a familiar passage of Scripture! And that’s just what He recently did for me while studying John 2: 1-11 where Jesus performs His first miracle and turns the water into wine, while at a wedding feast. I was doing my Bible study homework for a women’s Bible study that I am in when the application question – If you had been a wedding guest, what do you imagine your reaction would have been to this miracle – changed my whole outloook on things!
While recently reading the book/letter of Philemon from my Message Bible, God spoke to my heart that He answers beyond what we pray—He answers my/our prayers and then He does even more! That alone encouraged my heart but God went a step further and showed me a powerful example of how He has already done this and I had not even realized it! I received a phone call from my youngest son [now age 26] that day and we did a three-way call with a friend of mine who was wanting to start a garden but knows little about it. So, via three-way calling, my son talked with my friend and gave her much information on what she needed to get started.

My husband and I watched the movie “Cars” on DVD last Saturday night. I know I am a little behind the times, since this movie came out in 2006, but I am so glad we watched it! It was light-hearted, cute, and funny; it just left you with a happy feeling in your heart! I often take away life lessons from watching movies and there were many life lessons to be gleaned from the movie Cars, but the lesson that hit home the most, with me, was the need for us to not try and do it/ do life alone! At the beginning of the movie, that was the mindset of the “hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen,” but by the end of the movie he was a changed man/a changed car, as the result of some unexpected and unwanted life experiences, like that of spending time in “Radiator Springs”!

God Doesn't Love Us All The Same, by Nina Guilbeau
Janine Harris never really thought about homeless people. She barely even notices them as she passes them by on her way to work in downtown Washington D.C.

However, all of that changes on a snowy evening in December when Janine unexpectedly finds herself alone with Vera, an old, homeless woman who seems to need her help.
