serving others</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
faithfulness to one spouse </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
unconditional love for grandchildren</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
work ethic - providing for a family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tithing 10% + and watching the blessings flow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
support of missions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
standing firm on the Truth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Psalm 18:30</span></strong></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I read two statements this week that really challenged me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"God does not answer vague prayers."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Success is defined as glorifying God in any and every situation by making the most of it."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If this is the true definition of success...then trusting God is essential! So my challenge for you this week is:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Define the goals God wants you to go after.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Claim the promises He has for you from His Word.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Pray about the dreams God wants you to pursue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But...when you pray...pray boldly! Be specific in your prayers. The more specific your prayers are...the more glory He alone receives!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a blessed week!</span><br />

Hello friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been awhile! I've missed you! April was a VERY busy time. God revealed some amazing truth to me, and He has provided an opportunity for my hearts desire! I will share more about that when the time draws near. It took a month of listening to Him, trusting Him with the decision, and joyfully walking away in obedience! Then...I stood in amazement as doors flew open!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3 class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
Isaiah 55:8-9</h3>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE the devotional book, <em>Jesus Calling</em>, written by Sarah Young. God used this book the past two months to speak to my heart. Here is a paragraph that touched my soul:</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
Trust me to show you what to do when you have finished what you are doing now. I will guide you step by step, as you bend your will to Mine. Thus you stay close to Me on the path of peace.</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
--------</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
It was really all about peace at the end of the day for me! A lot of my joy had died...I needed to be away from it. I just didn't think I could afford to step away. However, God showed me differently! Ohhhhh! We are so blessed!</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
Have an amazing week!</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="heading passage-class-0" style="text-align: left;">
In Him-</div>

The answer, my dear friend, is YES! You will get through this...and you will be OK. In fact, you will be more than OK. If you cling to His promises, and you Seek His face, He will give you the desires of your heart! He alone has the Power to change your situation, and equip you to climb the mountain you are facing! Let's look at what He has to say...</div>
