Isaiah 5: 12
” They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
tamboourines and flutes and wine,
but ….THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE DEEDS OF THE LORD,
NO RESPECT FOR THE WORK OF HIS HANDS.
13.  Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding…..”

That can speak alot to many……but to me….

“Janelle, you are going to look to the “deeds of the Lord…..you are
going to have to put some ” work “…into this 2012 ministry for Africa ! ”

More so than any other year……..

The 1st support check came…..
The 2nd support check came…….

There is the breath of God in them….for it is HIM, through these 2…
that says “keep coming, Janelle”….
they are my Hansel and Gretal…morsels…..
Keep coming…Keep coming…….

Every year, I can remember the 1st check…it is just special to me !
Isaiah 5: 26  ” HE lifts a banner for the distant nations, ”

It amazes me….just amazes me…HIS EYE…HIS HEART…
for the people living in mud huts….scraping literally for an ear of corn…
for their children to eat…..daily.

This whole chapter in Isaiah is about…
vs. 2  ” Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.”

” why did it only yield bad fruit ?”  vs.  4
“woe to those that rise early in the morning to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.”

It is going after the things that do not glorify God….
It is staying up late, getting up early….for things, seriously….
that do not glorify God.

This year….it is my desire to put more time…more effort…
more time in His Word, prayer…seeking Him.+ doing
what it takes for the HARVEST OF SOULS….. work / effort……..

I want ” good fruit”  for the people in Liyavo…..
I want ” good fruit”  for Benson and Dorcas……Gloria + Rock Laban…
I want ” good fruit”  for Gabe + Marla, Tug + Angie….Rock…
I want ” good fruit” for Livi, Morgan, Ava, Reesey, Nina, + Tanner Rock…..
I want ” good fruit” for each supporter,  business’, church family…..

What do we wake up early….stay up late for …..?
