Hi again,
Long time no talk. I went back to college and have 18 credit hours. I completely read through my Bible on August 15th this year, the eve of my Baptismal birthday. How wonderful to be washed in the blood of the lamb on August 16th, 1968. That was an awesome experience. I started reading my Bible over, it has made a huge difference in my life. Today it rained all day. Yesterday I did homework all day long until midnight. As I mentioned so long ago I need to sell stuff on line. Any good tips out there about that and also how to get the Shoppe website fixed with the Pay Pal buttons on tip top website would be greatly appreciated.
Peace Love and Roasted Marshmallows

AVON AND PIZZA FUNDRAISERS

Hi, we are selling AVON and Little Cesar's pizza kits fund raising for deaf revival at our church, and youth revival. Please contact me if you would like to help us by ordering something. I'll be very happy to send you the information. THANK-YOU!

More Praise!

Jesus healed my daughter Brit. She has no cancerous cells on her cervix-praise God! FYI- Jesus is LORD! The LORD Jesus provided for our financial needs.

Praise Reports

Monday Ken and I fasted and prayed together but separately as we both had much to do. I felt a burden to pray for my daughter Brit to be safe driving the next morning. She is pregnant, and was driving a small car, my husband and granddaughter Jozee were in the car. An SUV crossed the line on M89 on the ice and was coming right for them. It missed them by inches but hit the van that was tailgating her head on. They did not stop because there was no room with an M DOT plow truck, and 5 other cars coming. We prayed for the people involved in the accident. I am glad the LORD is faithful and protected my loved ones, and prompted me to pray!

Trials

Good news, my mother-in-law Lena, got to go home from the hospital today. The LORD healed her leg, the DR could not find any infection. Upon entrance to the ER her white count was up, and her leg was black green red and swollen from her ankle to her knee. Please pray for my niece Jenny who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. My daughter Brit is pregnant and has abnormal cells on her cervix. I have to withdraw from my classes because I was sick and also missed classes due to family needs. Jesus has kept my husband and I both alcohol and tobacco free! The LORD has provided financially for us. I know others are going through similar or worse situations. I believe Jesus is a faithful prayer answering God. I have made my request known to HIM.

Snow Daze

Yep, it's -15 with the wind chill factor here in the mitten state. I am hold up with 2 of my lovely daughters and 3 of my wonderful grandchildren! Sigh! Right now we are baking a box carrot cake with pineapple and raisins added. Last week I took Shakespeare our mini-poodle, and Gizmo our cat (see photo) to the vet for check-ups. Total bill $557.82!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. There fore I need to get my eBay sales going again. As a person who shops for food at Aldis, and everything else at The Gospel Mission Store, Salvation Army, and Goodwill, the fee was baaaaad news. I haven't spent that on dental bills for last year. It is important to keep them healthy because I love them, but also with an 8 month old baby in the house it's imperative. I'll be posting eBay items pronto.
To further save cash, I looked up some home remedies for skin and hair. My long hair is 4 inches over due for highlights, which I am not going to get. Since I need to look more professional for Subbing, and possibly another part time job, I had to do something. Home remedy #1 consisted of a paste of baking soda and peroxide for my face and neck. First I washed with a buff puff and Dove soap, after rinsing well, I applied the paste. Wow!!!!! My skin feels so clean! It shrinks and cleans pores very well. Next, I brewed my own hair color. Since I also have gray hair coming in, I chose this recipe to help blend the three colors together. I boiled sage, rosemary, and some black coffee together. I let it cool and sit over night. Then I strained it, and filled the kitchen sink with a little water and poured in my magic concoction. Then I leaned over the sink and dunked my head in. Using a measuring cup, I ladled it over the back and sides of my hair. Finally, I slathered on Suave conditioner. Also, I have a curly bun hairpiece which I colored at the same time, same way.
My teeth are in sad shape needing to be whitened. I am a huge coffee drinker. I had my teeth professionally whitened by my dentist 5 years ago but my teeth became painfully sensitive. Personally I think teeth can really age a person, and cause a very unprofessional appearance. I am brushing them with the same baking soda peroxide mixture I used on my skin and it is working very nicely. Internet suggestion: (Take some foil and fold it to form to your teeth. Take a little toothpaste and baking soda and mix together really well. Put some of the mixture into the foil and place on your teeth. Leave on for one hour everyday. Brush teeth normally afterwards. You will notice whiter teeth in just a few days.) I am going to try this next.
If any one has any great home remedies they would like to share I would sure appreciate it!
Thanks,
Cheri

Christian Education

Does any one out there dream anymore? Literally dream? Well I do. The dream that awakened me this morning has caused me to realize the importance of Christian Education. God commanded Israel to teach their children about him all the time. I can do no less. As a Sunday School teacher I found out many parents leave this vitally important commandment to the church. The world will not hesitate to teach our children. I feel compelled to teach my children and grand children, and hope to become involved in Sunday School again. The Bible says if someone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to lose faith - it would be better for that man if a huge millstone were tied around his neck and he were thrown into the sea Mark 9:42. I want to hear from you, all your ideas to make children want to learn.
God bless you!

Things Successful People (Like You!) Do

Since we have started a new year, I have been thinking about this a lot. I found this on the internet today. I believe it. I am a Bible believing Christian and I know if you put God first you can not possibly go wrong. His Word is my guide. So I would put Him first at the top of the list. Go to this link to view video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi3lcxjU7CI The eight things are:
1. Focus on goals
2. Positive and Passionate
3. Work hard
4. Never stop innovating
5. Time management
6. Add outrageous value
7. Strong relationship skills
8. Devoted to excellence

Preach it!

Pastor said not to wait until we fix all our problems to start walking around our Jericho! That is great advice and I for one am taking it immediately. I know there are other Christian bloggers out there who want to talk about living for God.

I am reading a great book, it is about prayer, it is called Focused Prayer By Fredi Trammell. Pentecostal Publishing House has it, click on the link on the right hand side of my blog.

Gab Fest

It is really liberating to get rid of stuff. The good thing is I can donate a lot to our church resale store, The Corner Shoppe, and other things to The Gospel Mission. We did it. We gave away a bunch of stuff. There were many reasons, but mainly, I had to. I am glad someone who really needs it will benefit from it. I will not love stuff more than God or people! Another reason is one of our goals is to become organized...I forgot to put it on our list!

Praise Reports

Ken and I prayed for a friend who was separated from his wife. Praise the Lord they are working things out.
My daughter Gabi was diagnosed with Ebstien Bar disease. I prayed for her in Jesus name as did my church.
After I prayed for her I told her God was going to heal her and the doctor's were going to say they were wrong. Praise the Lord that is exactly what happened! Thank-you Jesus!

New Year Resolutions

• Ken and I are reading the Bible in the morning, and beginning our day with prayer. We read one chapter in the Old Testament, one Psalm, one Proverb, and one chapter in the New Testament.We use the King James version, but sometimes I like read a version that is easier for me to understand as well.
  
• We are almost through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, and nearly debt free, which is a huge goal for us.
  
• We have some career and physical goals such as Ken getting a nursing job, me finishing school, becoming fluent in Spanish and ASL, and both of us getting physically fit.
