GOSSIP-THE ULTIMATE POISON

Did you know that it doesn't take much to start a rumor. Whatever you say always seems to catch back up with you in one way or the other. I can say that the hardest thing for me is keeping my mouth shut. I am so guilty of speaking what I think...before I think. I pray that the Lord helps me work on taming my tongue. I don't want to be a poison in his ministry and I don't want to hurt some one's feelings by a vicious rumor. I pray that the Lord helps me work on keeping my mouth shut! May I not open my mouth unless I have something positive to say.

God says if it offends thee, cut it off. I know that's not realistic in our times now, but it sure would put a stop to a lot of trouble uh.

If we truly have a heart for God, we will bridle our tongue. God says our religion is WORTHLESS if we do not bridle our tongue. WORTHLESS! Lord I pray that you will forgive me for the words I spoke just today. I pray that you help me bridle my tongue and not participate in poisoning your ministry.

You know they say that children say what is on their minds. They say it but mean not harm in it. We say what's on our minds but often we say it to hurt someone else. I pray that God will not let my heart feel what my mouth can not reveal.

I don't want anyone to ever say about me; Well don't tell her, the whole world will find out. And it's probably happened. I'm not proud to say it but it's probably true. Sad but true. I just pray that I can be the type of Christian I desire and God desires me to be. I want to help, not hurt and I don't want to say anything that I will be sorry for in the future. I pray for a heart and tongue for Jesus.

I don't want to hurt anyone with my actions or my words. I also do not want to be the person that causes someone else to not come to Christ. Lord please make and mold me as you please for I desire to be more like you!

I SAID 'I WILL WATCH MY WAYS AND KEEP MY TONGUE FROM SIN;

I WILL PUT A MUZZLE ON MY MOUTH AS LONG AS THE WICKED ARE IN MY PRESENCE.'

PSALM 39:1

My prayer is that God helps me put a muzzle on my mouth at ALL TIMES!

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!
