Trust and Promises

Image
Good evening sister saints! How has your day been?  We did some travel again today, heading south and then eastward but before we did, we had to do some pondering and praying as this is a new direction for us.  We are leaving what we know as comfortable (many of the states that we are very familiar with) and heading into states that we've never spent time in, as folowers of Christ, in the van life.  This requires us to kill our flesh and learn to trust in the Lord for our direction and guidance, just as He promises.  We were talking about how this is good for us as it kills flesh and reminds us that He is in charge and we are just here to do our good works unto Him. Trust is something I have grown in over the past many years.  I remember when we first started talking about going on the road, way back before we even did, and I had fear.  Fear of leaving behind the comfort and security of our homestead but I cast that down in shame and asked the Lord to chang...

Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God

Image
 Greetings sisters!!! (Brother Jim shares this picture:-) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33  When we were in the world we would seek first or own kingdom. The kingdom we built up for ourselves, you know, that one where it's all about us and what we want... But it lead to no good and in the end, destruction had we continued on it. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.  Proverbs 16:25-26  I 📣REJOICE📣to see the power of God in the sisters we know that have forsaken all that to serve the one and only King!  No longer are we wrapped up in pride and vanity of our hair and clothing, or the latest recipes and decorations for our house. No more do we waste out time in self indulgence or idle activities! No! We have forsaken all that and now dress in ...

Traveling Toward the Unknown

Image
 Good evening to our scattered sisters! Shine the light of Christ so that others may see! How glorious is our Father and great is His love to give His Son for us that we may have the way to eternal life if we lose our life and seek Him.  We're all on a journey in Christ and every day we travel one day closer to our destiny, let us use each day to the glory of the Lord.  In our life, we physically travel for the Lord and oftentimes we aren't even positive where we will be going...it's the unknown.  We all have that  (unknown) in our life as we don't know if we will have tomorrow and if we do, what will happen then.  None of us even know what the next minute will bring and to live in peace and joy, regardless of what the next hour brings into our life, we must be totally surrendered to our Savior and trust Him in all things. We were originally heading south and were going to spend some time in Texas but through a lot of thought and prayer, we decided to head ...

Trusting in God, a Post from Brother Jim

 Greetings sisters in Christ, I just wanted to share this post from brother Jim.    I thought it might be edifying and you can share it with your husband. Regardless if your husband is a believer or not, brother Jim is here to help them if they have questions or need encouragement. http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2020/11/witnessing-to-fellow-van-dweller-and.html Love in Christ, Sister Deb The biblical gospel... https://www.dontperish.com/the-gospel.html

A Woman's Worst Nightmare...Trusting in God's Sovereignty

Image
Greetings to our obedient sisters in the Lord! By the time I post this, the event will have been put further behind me but the lesson will be everlasting.  As you surely know, we are thankful for the outcome of the lessons we learn in trials but we don't care for the burning fire that we have to pass through.  As we mature we learn to weather it easier each time, for the most part. We arrived in this town that neither brother Jim nor I were looking forward to but we felt it was where we should be based on how everything seemed to line up.  I don't want to share the details of how wickedly evil the people in this place are and the nudity law they just passed makes me want to vomit. Don't even ask as it's too profane to even speak of. (No, they weren't doing it while we were out.)   Anyway, as we were in the midst of this wicked vileness on the streets, there were some sheep and it encouraged us.  We also went to a religious place and it was almost as h...

God Gave Me A Rock!!!

Image
Good morning sisters! I pray your day is joyous in the Lord as we are to remember John 16:33 be of good cheer as our Savior has overcome the world! Our Father's timing never ceases to amaze me.  A sister and I were talking about edifying things that I could add to the blog and she suggested going over more Titus 2 issues for women.  I mentioned that I would see what I have and add to it, bringing in more examples  in my own life, within my posts.  (I get caught up in my role as being an evangelists wife and all the things that go along with it, I must remember to include my role as Titus 2 and how I can retain and obtain those attributes within this life to encourage you in yours.)  Well, I was given a GREAT example and a prayer answered by the Father, just last night. Before I go into that I want to share a video I made a couple days ago when we were done witnessing and headed to our mountain camp spot for the night.  We were so joyous to get out of ...

Go Into ALL the World Even Outside Your Comfort Zone

Image
Greetings sisters in Christ! It wasn't long ago that we were in some places that, in our flesh, we really didn't like and I'm sure as time goes on we will encounter that more and more. Brother Jim and I are (at heart) country folks.  Before we were new creations in Christ we both grew up in the country but have lived in big cities, traveled all over the country on business to big cities, navigated through traffic in big cities, dealt with all the big city dealings and learned how to just live with it even though it was not something we enjoyed.  How much more should we do while in Christ? For the past several years (before going full time traveling ministry) we had the enjoyment of living in small towns and in the country.  We had peace and quiet, lots of space around us, safe communities where everyone minds their own business, people respect others properties and takes care of their own...it was awesome to the flesh. But when Jesus said ' go into all...
