The four sisters!! I was blessed to surprise my family...I flew into Ontario, December 27th 2017 for 10 days to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
WOW. I can’t believe it has been an amazing 5 years since I moved out of YWAM.
I just really want to say a huge THANK YOU to my Heavenly Father for taking care me, providing for me and strengthening me daily. Love you Lord!
Jesus at the Center of it all!!
Also a huge THANK YOU to all those that have prayed for me, encouraged me and supported me financially. I am blessed to have you all in my life.
New News
At the beginning of this year I took on a shift of events that was to step down and allow others to step up in certain church responsibilities. This gave me more time to be with my Belizean children and grandchildren, and as well invest more quality time and energy into three ministries. So, I stepped down from my leadership role on the board of my Belizean Church, serving 8 years. And has well as serving 5 years as the youth director and also overseer of buying all the supplies for the church. And I stepped up my time and energy with the Single Mom’s Ministry of my church, Freedom House chairperson and hosting and helping with International Teams.

House Update
There has been and continues to be lots and lots of prayer covering for the house vision. I do appreciate all those that are bathing the house in prayer. THANK YOU
I do shout a huge THANK YOU to those that have given and pledge to give towards the ministry house.
Yes, to be honest I have at times grown weary and fought discouragement. It just a times seem so slow to see this come to pass, but I choose to trust in the Lord in all things and keep Jesus at the center of it all.
I still have the vision to see a house provided… and let me tell you it would be a huge enormous miracle. But then why not we serve a Good Good Father who loves us and wants to bless us with good gifts. I guess at the end of the day I am still just waiting on the Lord for His timing.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
I have to say this year the Lord gave me an on core, to continue with
· Counting my Blessings
· Don’t compromise
· Keep Jesus at the center of my life
This has been what kept me focused on the Lord, trusting in Him, and not wavering in my Christian witness. I praise the Lord for all that He has done in and through my life. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
PRAYER REQUESTS:
· Wisdom & Discernment and lots of Grace
· An increase of the Father’s Heart for the ministries that I serve in.
· An increase of monthly financial support
· Spending money for my time this summer
· Explosion of finances concerning the House
· Increase of Faith and Trusting the Lord in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6
