Rock Taviano ~ ” It has just been a different
year for you, Janelle……don’t feel guilty ”
I have had different people say things about me
being gone so much this year…( good ..and true ! )
So sitting in my friends Condo,
on Gulf Blvd. Clearwater Beach…FLA.
Walking the beach alone for a couple of days….
Reading… and reading some more ….
Playing in the water – “one of my FAVORITE things”
“Why , God ?…..what has this all been about ? ”
Africa – I got that one…..
Salvations, the desperate, the widows..
the orphans, the church, the Hospital…
* The Hospital ~ Clinic ran by U.S. Govt…300 witnessed to
( helped physically too )
Dr.’s that helped – LEFT $ 4,000.00
Need – $ 5,000.00 to have it complete to fill w/ equipment
Received $ 1,000.00 2 days ago….SAVED…. 4,000 to go…
* can I say – they didn’t EVEN KNOW ??????? CHRIST ALONE.
Home – to a call I NEVER ever dreamed God would call….
Southern Ohio – Where plastic on windows, coon dogs…
poverty….and yet…give them a stuffed animal,
a bag of dog food, a quilt….and their eyes
KNOW IT IS JESUS…..that seen their heart.
Cambodia – To see the gated Rich….
To see the gated poor….
To see the dirt road houses with no gate…
on a moto…
To see the cry of Gabe and Marla, answered…
and yet a state of battle, and faith………
I seen Worship and the Word and the presence of GOD…..
I seen witnessing…one on one….
Touching lives….one on one….JESUS.
Home – the continued individuals that
Hear the HOLY SPIRIT…to the cause of the Gospel…
and it tells me.. IT IS HIS, IT IS HIS, IT IS HIS……..
Lima – New Life Agape Day…..
Within 24 hours……
Benson, ” Mum, I lead an older man to the LORD in
Chreestee’s vehicle”….
same phone call….
Laughing, ” Benson , I got to lead an
X – Amish man to the LORD yesterday too….” smile…
Byrdstown, Tenn. – My very dear friend…LINDA RONE…
PRIME PICTURE OF HEALTH…. Heart valve surgery…
Put on a heart bypass machine….
The faith of her daughter, sick in Indiana…
The Dr.’s praying over her before surgery..
A Nurse praying with her thru the nite…
Countless testimonies…today – GREAT REPORT….
Now in Florida…. Becky Carter called me..
” Would you come and Baptize me in the Gulf ?”
hmmmmmm….? “yes” smile.
Scheduled months ago…..
The Condo…the pool, the beach…the streets…
GROOMED, GROOMED like you were in Disney….
The Trees the same as in Hawaii….
The people….still need JESUS….
Talking to the Maintenance Man….
Holding the door for the elderly,
trying to get their own groceries in….
The lady with an ” ankle boot ” stops
and talks….
A call at the pool, from a new young man…
from Wapak…..
* that wants to be hooked up with Andy Maier..
to go to Nepal, to give JESUS + Water Purifiers….
Palmetto Florida – next stop….and there tomorrow…
my friend Sheri Ketner….is organizing a fundraiser
” Solve Ministries – for unwed Mothers…” to give them.
YEP……JESUS, JESUS, JESUS !
” All, All….ALL…over the WORLD….
on every dirt road, country road, city groomed street…
city road that has tuk tuk’s all over them….
IT DOESN’T MATTER…….IT TRULY DOESN’T MATTER….
In the beginning – was GOD…..
and they will know that I am GOD….
* a verse that says, “I put people where they are
so they will LOOK FOR ME !….”
Not us….NOT Benson, Not Gabe, Not Janelle…
Not Linda, Not Becky……Not Sheri
but ME…..JESUS CHRIST………..
It is NOT about ME………..
HE has tattoo’d it in me ….SHOWED ME…
IT IS GOD THAT DRAWS ALL MEN UNTO….
HIMSELF .
Every individual matters.
In the ENTIRE WORLD……..
On every street, every road, every State
every nation, every continent …..MATTERS.
” He’s got the WHOLE WORLD ….
in HIS HANDS….”
Awesome.
This is something God is just starting, as in yesterday just starting, but I’m wondering…
Could all theses years of wanting to be a mother lead me to fight for the unborn babies? I hate the radical people that bomb the abortion clinics, that spew hate, that make the news and give Christ a bad name (again).
What if, instead, we thought about what Jesus did with and towards the “worst” sinners? He treated them with love and grace. Seems to me when he said “they will know you are Christians by your love”, he didn’t have “baby murderer” posters in mind!
I don’t know. Very beginning of this. But your story- God’s story in you, continues to encourage and inspire me! Love you!
