If I list my inventory here, it will sound like bragging. I have been overly blessed.
I think you have impacted enough lives in 2007 for the rest of your life. How great that is. I did alittle inventory on me,myself and I the other day and said goodbye to 2007 and hello to a great 2008
My husband meets alot of people that he ends up ministering to. He doesnt have his own church though. When he asked god if he would ever have a church, god told him that he already HAS his church, its just not a “building”. That he takes his church wherever he goes. Hes met THOUSANDS of people through work and such that gods allowed him to minister to. Im really grateful to have found a husband that “knows, that he knows, that he knows” so to speak.

I’m not sure how you could impact any more than you already do. Amazing!
7 days till I see all 26 of them. Mom and dad, siblings and spouses (9), neices and nephews and their spouses (13) and great neice and nephew…
Have a great weekend!
my prayer for you this Christmas is that the Lord bless you, your family, and your ministry in abundance. that He would give you strength, comfort and wisdom as you reach out and bless so many others around you. praise God that you and your family bring so many children to the house of God to learn about Him! so many churches do not place an emphesis on their children and youth… such a mistake in my eyes.. i have seen often how one little child can fall in love Jesus and then turn around and be used to bring their entire family to the Lord. you won’t know on this side of Glory just how many lives you will be resonsible for changing, simply because you pour youself into these children and teach them about Jesus… whew!
That means you actually read LEVITICUS four times???? Wow…now that is an accomplishment!!
ryc: I think listening to the bible would be much better than reading it!! I tend to fall asleep while reading.
You have a very full and rich life! Thanks for stopping by.
No kidding…the old Testament once a year is enough, lol. California has a rich mix of ethnic backgrounds too.
Thanks for sharing…
I heard SNOW your way????
SNOW is here and every where.
Like a BLIZZARD…
Up to about 4″ to 8″…
Cars pile up on highway
Roads closed…
Have A Blessed Week Ahead.

That is an interesting list. I never thought of taking inventory…
So you will be going to Africa in January. What part of Africa will you be visiting?
What is the weather like in North Dakota now? Do you get a lot of snow? Am I being to nosey?
I think everyone should have an inventory too. Awesome list.
Happy Holidays and God Bless!
