If you are going through a troubled time of discouragement, low self-worth, or trials, I encourage you to begin to praise God for His faithfulness to you. He will remain faithful to you until the end. Thank Him for each morning that you are able to awaken in your own home, put your feet on the floor, take a step, and breathe without the assistance of an oxygen tank.
What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

Dear Mom:
As I walk through my museum of memories,
I owe you...for your TIME. Day and night.
I owe you...for your EXAMPLE. Consistent and dependable.

How do you as a couple, handle the area of finances? God's plan is for us to marry a person who shares a faith in God. This gives us common ground when things get tough. This wisdom helps us as married couples not play the my way or the highway game, but together base our values, trust and our decisions on a third party - God.
Do God's strategies for financial success really apply to us today? How can we wrap our natural thinking around God's process for obedient stewardship? Knowledge, determination and obedience can lead us down a financially free path.
When we establish a giving mindset and determine to believe God's Word next comes the discipline in determining to put Him first.

What does "Paradise" look like to you? May we always have God's Kingdom work in our minds and hearts as the highest goal that we can achieve. Look for ways to bring His Paradise to this world, and you, my friend, will experience that Paradise as you share it with others.
We've had another action-packed two weeks of ministry. On the Saturday before Mother's Day, May 8, I was back in Lakeville, MN at Celebration Church and spoke at the "Mother's and Other's" spring luncheon. Nearly 200 women attended. Kim Serbus did a fantastic job in planning it. It dazzled with a French flair complimented with French pastries and fun decorations. You felt like you were sitting at a little sidewalk café in Paris, France… yes! My topic was "Lighten Up…It Could Be Worse". We laughed, we cried and we encouraged each other. Isn't encouragement what we all need today?
Greetings from Minneapolis, Minnesota! Whew - what a whirlwind of events…let's recap the last couple weeks. On Friday, April 23rd, we were in Mullen, NE ministering at Mullen Assembly of God with Pastor Van Berry. That Sunday, April 25th, we were in Gothenburg, NE for two Sunday morning services at the Evangelical Free Church. What a great congregation! We were so warmly greeted by Rev. Rick and Shelli Rehmert . When the altar call was given people flowed to the altar in response to the invitation to give their hearts to Christ or to make recommitments.
We've recently arrived in Nebraska and have covered a lot of ground since the last "On the Road" report. We left the Phoenix area on April 9th and had the opportunity to follow the infamous Route 66 up into Albuquerque, NM. On April 11th we had a service with Pastor Jerry Barnard and his wife Jeannetta at Trinity Family Church in Albuquerque, NM. Our time together was precious. Larry always has a saying before going in for a service "I wonder what the 'gold' will be in this service"?
Easter week…what a special time. It's a double celebration for Larry and I as we both committed our lives to Christ during this season many years ago. We are forever grateful. Being raised in a family with 10 brothers - five older and five younger - there was always an overabundance of excitement at any holiday, but especially at Easter.
