Moms Against Hunger - Zimbabwe Food Distribution Begins

I have such fabulous news to bring to you today!  The Moms Against Hunger Shipment to Zimbabwe arrived and is being passed out all during this Christmas season.  There are many pictures to share with you!  Lots of tears.... and joy is in my heart today as the sights open up through the internet showing glimpses of what is happening there with the precious shipment of food.

 

 

My heart is overflowing just knowing,  that along with my partners..... we have men and women, boys and girls and babies that will have nutritional food to eat  RIGHT NOW.

Getting Ready for a Moms Against Hunger Christmas Neighborhood Giveaway

I needed some help getting final details together for a big Christmas Giveaway this Saturday.  Here is what happened..... 

The Christmas Shoppe

This was a wonderful event that served our community WELL.  There were over 70 vendors here.  Everything from jewelry, to hair bows, glassware, foods, yard art, purses, clothes, beauty things and all sorts of other interesting booths. Christmas music was playing and it was a relaxing atmosphere to shop in. Outside was cold and very foggy - it just felt 'christmasy' inside.

Kookies for Kids raised funds for Moms Against Hunger with hundreds of cookies.  It was a very full day of fun for everyone who came.

 

 

 

 

 

And Cafe Geva served lunches, and christmas drinks and good will to everyone who came!

 

Angela created this event and did a fabulous job.... I am so proud of my daughter!!! Our area community businesses were blessed, and New Life found some more open doors into the hearts of all the people involved.

RMA Shopping Trip

Role Models of America - LaPorte has an upcoming Christmas shopping trip.  We are looking forward to a great time together - sisters having fun!

We all need personal friendships one with another.  I know that this event is going to be a memory making day for every lady who can attend. 

The Most Awesome Day in the World

The rapture of the Church is at hand...... are YOU ready?

All prophecy has been fulfilled.... the world is now covered with the Gospel via the Internet.

The most Awesome Day in all of mankind is about to happen.

What do you need to do to prepare to hear the Trumpet, when Jesus will come to receive his own? To be sure you go with Him when Trumpet sounds?

GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS, ASK FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS,  BE BAPTIZED, FIND A SOLID BIBLE CHURCH TO ATTEND, SINCERELY BEGIN TO SERVE THE LORD, FOLLOW THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND OBEY THE WORD OF GOD.

Everything in this world seems to be designed to distract, hinder, side track, and even stop believers from watching and waiting for this Day. 

But it will surely come..... it will surely come.

Are YOU ready?

RMA West Coast

I am so very proud today!!

Surprise!  It's now ready to show you what has been happening in one of our churches on the West Coast.  Role Models of America now has a thrift store in Los Banos California under Pastors Doug and Susan Young. And together we will begin to touch lives here as well.

Church for Women

The ladies start gathering for another wonderful service together. We had  a couple of guests with us, Pastor Hoxworth's wife, Bev was here as well as Bishop Malcolm's wife Margaret also was with us in service.  Margaret leads the  RMA ladies ministry in London England as well.  

Role Models of America has several church services designed especially for women and their needs through out the year. And I have to tell you that every lady who attends enjoys herself!  It's always a special time of prayer and praise, encouragement and an timely word spoken into every life. My heart goes out to the women who work so very hard for their families.  Working  full time at a job, keeping all the responsibilities of the workplace going, then come home and work another full time job keeping the home place  together as well as their families taken care of. 2 simple sentences written here, cannot describe the enormous workloads they all do everyday.  So this service held every is important for their support. 

We have a good women's band - who regretfully  I did not get a picture of to show you! We had a great time of worship with the Ensemble too. 

This particular service is designed for the daughters of Role Models  to lead out on.....  it's time for the next generation to begin to start helping in our RMA events. 

Kari plays and sings a song she wrote. She is the daughter of  Role Model Carla, and her song was about standing in faith no matter what life looks like around her. A good message for every mom to hear.
The daughter of Role Model Cressie - Christi also sang a meaningful song about being in a war and how we push onward.  Spiritually - these two songs led up to the Word which was to come.... Then another daughter of Role Model Carolyn - Tiffany had created a power point presentation to the song - Lay M Down.  And it seemed every thing fit together preparing the hearts of the women and girls for what was to come.

Announcements were made by Role Models about the coming events this Fall.  Our Craft day is in September, and the RMA Fall Festival is in October.  Two big days coming that we are all excited about. We spent a little time revealing what all is going to be happening.

Then my own daughter Angela, who is a Role Model herself,  brought the Word to us and wow did she ever minister!  Her sermon was called, 'No one ask me'.

 

She had us all laughing and laughing and laughing!  But the word was powerful and so needed.  It was about the women in the Word who were not ask if they wanted to participate in what was happening.  Here is just a tiny part of what she preached about. 

Noah’s wife was not asked to be a part of this holiday cruise. In fact she is only mentioned twice: she doesn’t even have a name

But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark-- you and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you

Gen 6:18

She by culture standards did not have a choice in her life – no one asked her if she wanted to

·        Help build a boat for 100+ years

·        Live in a boat for 120 days and night

·        Handle and live with as many as 5000 species of animals

·        Clean up after all those animals

Maybe she was not handling it well ?

Maybe that’s why she was practically left out of one of the best known bible stories?

 

King David’s Mother

Nothing is said about David’s mother

I have to suspect the David was deeply loved by his family the scriptures say he was a fine looking child and he was her last born son – her baby

When Samuel came to anoint the next king of Israel – David was either sent/hidden in the fields with the sheep, was this a protective mother trying to keep her last baby home?

With rumors of war and her knowing her other sons were going

Did she have a horrible attitude about not being asked, is this why she was not written into the story that is claimed to be the favorite bible story of most children raised in the house of God

 

Moses Wife

Exo 2:21-22 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bore him a son

She has a name!!!!

She was mentioned 4 times by name in the exodus

She never was asked if she even want to marry the guy

Or if she wanted to go to Egypt and set a entire nation free.

Or if she minded plagues, people with attitudes or walking across entire countries.

Mary and Martha

They were not asked if they wanted 12+ extra men for supper

Lazarus as the man of the household would have made that decision

Martha

The original Martha stewart

Multi tasker

Take charge

Choleric

 

Mary

Free spirit

Go with the flow

Get to it in a second

Wants to be in the center of excitement

 

Luke 10:38-42

A woman by the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home. She had a sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said. But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand."

The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it's the main course, and won't be taken from her,

We are not sure how her attitude changed but – I can again only imagine that it must have I can see her putting down her dish rag and pulling up a chair

I ask the question which attitude are you? Will be the worshiper or the worrier

The one lost in the details or enjoying the moment

 

Ok you weren’t asked if you wanted to lose your job, house, child, marriage

Ok you weren’t asked if you wanted your spouse to die, friends to abandon you, cancer to come in an destroy your life

But its happened! What will you do.

 

Do you clam up and blame everyone else

Do  you throw a royal cross eyed fit

 

Or do you take it the father, cry a little, get up dust off your knees and keep walking

 

I ask the question which attitude are you?

Will you be the worshiper or the worrier

The one lost in the details or enjoying the moment

 

No one asked you......but the Father has a plan that is unfolding and you are in it! 

We had a wonderful time together!!!!
