A PRAYER FOR GOD'S MERCIFUL GRACE

Unity: Condition of harmony or the state of being made as one.

It really is hard for me to write when things have our hearts broken. I love to write about when the boys are doing well and every thing is going great, in a perfect world there is no wrong. Rainbows and butterflies right. Well, we work in God's ministry and when you work for God you can guarantee the Devil is not going to be far behind. We kind of feel like the Devil has been riding on our back today. Gary and I both felt pulled down by the Devil today. This is one of those days when you wished you could crawl back in bed. The only way we could make it out of bed was to think about the progress the boys are making. Gary and I pray for unity for our campus. Unity for our kids and the house parents. All the house parents are here for the same goal, taking care of the kids. We don't want to have to focus on anything else other than making the kids feel like they have a family and a home. We want and pray to work together in unity for the sake of the kids. We desire God's love and plead for God's mercy. Please pray for Gary and I. Start a prayer chain for the Devil to leave this campus! Because you know what?.................................................

My God is so much bigger than the Devil. I know that my God will stomp the Devil out and free us from his chains. If we keep on moving along and refuse to let the Devil win, then we have beaten him. (At least this time) Our goal is not to let the Devil win. We are here for the kids and we shall not be moved!

TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED, WHO ARE LOVED BY GOD THE FATHER AND KEPT BY JESUS CHRIST:
MERCY, PEACE AND LOVE BE YOURS IN ABUNDANCE.
JUDE 1:2

We know that your prayers will help us succeed with God's children....

TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING AND TO PRESENT YOU BEFORE HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE WITHOUT FAULT AND WITH GREAT JOY--TO
THE ONLY GOD OUR SAVIOR BE GLORY, MAJESTY, POWER AND AUTHORITY, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, BEFORE ALL AGES, NOW AND FOREVERMORE!
AMEN JUDE 1:24

Our Beggining and how it all got started

My husband, Gary, was the pastor of a church in Conway, AR. He resigned because we felt like God wanted us some where else. We came back to our home church in Little Rock, AR. and waited on God to show us where to he wanted us to go. I prayed every night; Lord show me where you want me to go and I will be willing to follow. I prayed for a full-time ministry and for the Lord to show me how to love as he does. I felt I didn't really know how to love and I wanted to learn. Gary soon got a call from a church by our home that was looking for a pastor. We went there for several Sunday's for him to preach and was told that the church was going to call him to pastor. On that same day, I received a call from my best friend to please pray for a set of house parents at ABC Homes. Immediately I knew what God was asking us to do. Two weeks later we set off for our trip to visit ABC Homes. I was very excited to be going, but thought I can't do this. I liked my time to myself, I liked to get up and go when I wanted. I didn't want to be around a house full of kids and kaos all day! God put me in my place real fast. He let me know how selfish I was being. I had just told him the night before, you tell me where to go and I will follow. Now I was telling God I couldn't? Well, he convicted me real quick on that one. We spent the night at ABC homes in Monticello and got to know some of the kid's. They were so happy and so full of love. Gary and I got up the next morning and walked through the campus. I started crying feeling overwhelmed by the presence of God. God was all over the campus and he said; Denise, this is where you will serve me. Gary felt the same conviciton and we knew God needed us there. We stayed for almost a year and felt God asking us to move on. We gained custody of a 17 year old boy, Jackie, who is on fire for the Lord. We are very excited about what God has instore for our family and very excited to have kids to minister with us. God is so good! We seek his will for our lives always!
