Working, Marketing and Making Money While Giving out the Gospel

Image
Hello sisters! I hope you all are well and looking for the glorious day when we shall be with our savior! Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13) As we are working here, I've been taking pictures and marketing things for sale and praise God we have been selling so much more than we ever thought we would, it's amazing.  Brother Jim depticts that with a drawing:-) With every sale goes the gospel.  Most often Jim takes care of the people because men are involved but today was my turn.  We have more to sell soon so I hope lots of people come not just so we can make some money but for the wonderful opportunity to give the gospel out! I've also been learning a lot of lessons here: I never realized how much of a tie I had in my heart for the people back here in the area we were from, although we don't have contact with most of them and hardly any contact with the few that are left in o...

Precious Pictures!

Image
Greetings Sisters in Christ! We received a precious gift from a believing family and I wanted to share with you... Ducklings A cottage. Two hand crafted pictures for us from a sweet little girl in Bulgaria.  Her parents were born again about the same time a couple years ago and they are raising their daughter in the ways of the Lord, for that we rejoice! Instead of putting pictures on the refrigerator :-) I will put them here for all sisters and their children to enjoy.   We were also blessed to see her mother created a rain skirt, what a unique idea!  They bought a rain poncho and she cut the skirt from it, sewed it up and now their little girl has a skirt to keep her dry in the rain :-)  I may have to look into doing that for myself! Use your creativity and if you have children you can train them to use theirs for the good of the Lord. Have a joyous day sisters. Love in Christ, Sister Deb The biblical gospel... http...

Saving Money Pt #2 Going Off Grid

Image
Hello sisters! Praise God for another season of the year, we are enjoying spring with the buds on the trees coming out, the warmer breezes and longer daylight to get things done. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the  Lord 's name is to be praised. Psalm 113:3 Here is the next video on how we saved (and save) money #2 ....by going off grid. We're hoping to be done here in about 2 weeks or so and then on the road back to Missouri to do some carving work before we head out on the road for the summer mission trip. As I was writing this and uploading the video I asked brother Jim to draw me a picture of something representing off grid life:-) You can see we are in our van, lol, the simple life! Proverbs 31:10-31 10  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11  The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12  She will do him good and not evil all the...

Suffering in the Flesh and Glorifying God

Image
Hello sisters in Christ, I pray you are all standing strong in the Lord and fighting the good fight! Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.  (1 Timothy 6:12) We are striving on here in the faith, working hard on our house and enjoying the journey, not getting anxious but in everything prayer and supplication to our Father. (Philippians 4:6 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18) I've been pondering this subject for a while and now might be a good time to write on it as I'm going through so many physical trials one on top of another and thought it would encourage myself and other sisters to write it:-) Illness is something we see quite often in women and I certainly struggle with my fair share of it.  I'm not writing this to gather sympathy or to boast about all pain and sickness I encounter but I do share so that other sisters don't feel alone and to know that...

Heading Back Into Wisconsin and Not Being Rushed

Image
Greetings sisters from around the world! So we've been back 2 full days and already we are being challenged in a few ways:-)  This will make us stronger and more determined to move on! As we were heading back here I made a video for you but haven't had time to put the pieces together and get it uploaded but today is the day for it.  I'm learning how to be a bit more impromptu in making them BUT the problem with that is sometimes my mind goes all over and I don't always finish the first thought before another one comes in but that's how I am so you'll get the real me:-) We are camped out in our van in the driveway while we work here and I love it because I'm a nester:-)  That's what brother Jim says.  I've always liked small spaces and to curl up in a corner so this van life is something that suits me well.   That purple gadget is such an awesome tool, it just plugs into our chromebook and gives light on the keyboard.  We've been...

We are A Peculiar People

Image
Hello sisters! We have made it to our Wisconsin house and there's snow all over!  Lol, it's melting and now adding to the ditches full of water and soggy ground.  Ask brother Jim about that!  Check this out... He was using the bobcat to pull something out of a shed and as he was working it was sinking in the mushy ground!  He's got to set up a winch to pull it out tomorrow, that should be fun to watch, I'll make a video:-) Speaking of videos I made one for you yesterday on the way here but we've been so busy with ministry all day that I didn't have a chance to do anything with it yet but I pray tomorrow I will. I wanted to share a quick story with you, one that all godly women who are obedient to the Word can relate to.  God's Word teaches His daughters to cover their heads and also the body in long loose clothing and when you do that, you stand out in the world. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a pec...

On the Road Traveling North

Image
Hello Sisters! We pray you are strong today, standing in His word as your shield against the wiles of the devil.  1 Peter 5:8 he's out there roaming around waiting to devour you when you're weak so keep that armor on Ephesians 6.   Praise God we had 2 days of good travel and work along the way with no accidents nor mishaps and made it to our midway destination before hitting the border of Wisconsin tomorrow, Lord willing. Praise God! So as we get closer to our 'past' home in Wisconsin we talk about God's perfect timing in all this.  The past couple years we've wanted to have time to set ourselves free from that place up there but something always came up....a lot of orders to carve for our business to support ourselves, someone needed help, the weather turned bad in winter and we headed out down south to work on setting up our off grid place etc.  You all know how it goes when you set out to do something, you have to be patient and just do what you can and ...

Even the Sparrow...Our Father Watches over Us

Image
Hello sisters! Something awesome happened today that I wanted to share so I made a video.... Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ( Matthew 10:29-31) Our Father is an awesome God. Have a joyous day.

Here's part #1 of saving money 'Downsizing and Minimizing'.  Some things we did in our life to cut down in expenses and simplify our life.

Part 2 Letting Go of Those Who are Left

Image
Good evening sisters! We have had a very busy day today and are joyful to have been able to get our projects done, start packing up the trailer and van and also work on ministry and encourage some saints.   What a joy to be counted worthy of the precious Word of God with the hope of eternal life to come! Someone contacted me with a question after my last video titled Letting Go of Those Who are Left so I decided to clarify in this video. I am going to pray that the Lord give me a better head when it comes to concentration while doing impromtu videos.  Bear with me though sisters, I'm a real person not trying to be something I'm not:-) We know people around the world that are striving and they all have their trials to overcome so let us all keep one another in prayer for strength. As I was walking back after doing the video the horse started walking back over to me so I thought I'd do a video of him without me yacking in it :-) ...so peaceful. ...
