The Lord is good! We all know this, but it’s so important to keep it at the forefront of our minds. Often struggles or difficulties find their way into our lives. We can easily lose sight of God’s goodness in the midst of the storm. As I was finishing out 2016, the Lord repeatedly brought …
Trip Update
I can’t believe I’ve been home for nearly two weeks and still haven’t had a chance to send out an update on how the October trip went. In short: It was wonderful. I started out speaking at a Ladies’ Conference in Layton, Utah. What a blessing! We had a wonderful time fellowshipping around God’s Word …
Every Mile a Gift
The Wheels are Turning…Literally. The wheels on my little car have been turning, turning, turning the last few days. I started off from Billings, Montana, on October 5th and drove to the Salt Lake City area to speak at a Ladies’ Conference at Faith Baptist Church. Then it was on to Fruitland, Utah, to speak …
Green Bean Project and an Opportunity
It’s October! And that means it’s Green Beans Season! In case you’re not familiar with it, the Green Bean Project (GBP) started several years ago after a trip to Walmart to buy a can of green beans? Strange right? Not really. It all has to do with the result of one woman “being moved …
March Update
I have wanted to write this update for a couple of weeks, but have been waiting for some details to come together so I could give the most accurate information possible. Over the last few weeks, God has been moving things along rather quickly. We are very excited to say that, Lord willing, we will …
January Update
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 What would we do without God’s mercy! How grateful I am that His mercies are “new every morning.” Our church is finally on the verge of beginning our pastor search. We would greatly appreciate your prayer …
Plans to Quit
When I was a very small girl, Dad and I went on a carnival ride. They called it the Octopus. Maybe you’ve heard about it and its ridiculous tentacles. I was terrified throughout the ride, but the end is most indelibly impressed in my memory. I remember lying on my back as the ride came …
Giving Tuesday Mishap
I have just discovered that the Forbid Them Not website is completely down. I’m not sure when this happened, though it had to be sometime between yesterday morning and this morning. Yesterday, was Giving Tuesday, and I had posted links back to the site in a couple of places that would allow people to give …
It’s Green Bean Season!
In just two weeks FTN will enter one of the most special seasons of the year – Green Bean Season. Yes, you read that right – Green Bean Season! What started with a trip to the store to buy beans for a Thanksgiving casserole has grown into an amazing opportunity. Over the past two years, …
Prayer Update October 2012
The last few months have been absolutely full of unexpected craziness (like seven weeks of house repairs). I told someone the other day, “I got back to the States in July, but I still haven’t landed!” I am grateful that we have just a couple more weeks of really big projects and deadlines and then …
