Blogging:

mmmm... I know there are some people "blogging" everyday and updating Facebook constantly.  Here's my question:  Where do they find the time??!!??  :-)

WEBSITE:

Yes, we're in the process of "redoing" the website.  It's a challenge finding the time to go though and figure out what to get rid of and what to keep.  Clutter on websites....Kind of like the clutter in the house...or the car...or the office.  Isn't it amazing how quickly we can get covered up in clutter!

I was thinking how emotions are that way too.  The wrong ones can really clutter up our minds and lives.  And, as I'm sure you know, life is constantly giving us these GREAT opportunities to either hang onto, or let go of, feelings and thoughts that can block our usefulness to Jesus.  Guess we can call it Mind and Heart Clutter!

Proverbs 20:9 says: "Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin."

In the Lords Prayers, Jesus says "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."   Going before the Lord and asking forgiveness for our sins is a way to "de-clutter" our mind and heart.  Because his precious blood washes us clean.  White as snow. 

What an amazing, wonderful God we serve.  Baruch Ha'ba B Shem Adonai....Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

PRAISE CD:

Yes, yes yes!  I'm slowly working on the praise and worship CD ( it's that time thing again).  Hopefully it will be out by this summer.  Am very excited to share the new songs the Lord has given me for his glory. 

 Hope you have a blessed day and thanks again for stopping by this site!  Feel free to send an Email to let me know you were here!!!  Email Beth

And remember.....

 

Please "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you"  Psalm 122:6

Shalom

Happy Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by !  Christmas was so wonderful but I'm glad (as I'm sure you are) to be getting back to normal.  Whatever that is  :-)

WEBSITE QUESTION:

Have been trying to decide whether or not to redo this website to make it more "Professional" looking.  Here's your chance to weigh in and let me know what you think.  Redo the site??   or keep the site as is, updating as we go along. Personally, I like the look of the site...although I'm sure we could make it more "professional...". 

 Let me know what you think!!!!   Email Beth

A TIME FOR EVERYTHING:

The Bible says: "

"There is an appointed time for everything.  And there is a time for every event under heaven."  Ecclesiastes 3:1

I like things the same.  Rarely go out to eat, but if we do, I always order the same thing,  I'm sure you've noticed how folks sit in the same place at church each week.  They must like things the same too

Reminds me of a story my Grandmom Roberts (Lucille) once told me.  She & Jess, my granddaddy, lived a block from the Baptist church in Garden City, Georgia.  Seems she walked into church one Sunday morning to find someone sitting in her spot.  YIKES!!  She said she smiled at them, said  "Excuse me" as she stepped past to sit on the other side of them....and upon sitting down, she literally pushed them off the seat with her behind.  I can still remember the twinkle in her smiling eyes as she told me that story.  She liked things the same.

If I had my way (which I don't), I'd pick a happy time in life and freeze things in place.  Change is hard for me.  Is it hard for you?  Sometimes I think it's because I spent my life traveling overseas constantly with my dad being transferred from base to base in the Air Force. We moved and when we weren't moving, the other kids were moving...nothing was ever the same... our lives were all unsteady like "shifting sands". 

Our wonderful Pastor at the church has moved on to Pastor another church. We loved this Pastor, his love for the Lord, and all he brought to the church. Has been incredibly  sad to see him go...many others at the church feel the same way.  I've gone from so, so sad... to mad...back to sad...and am now asking forgiveness for getting mad and believing the Lord for a heart full of acceptance of the inevitable.  Change. 

Here's the good, no, the GREAT news of the Gospel. 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.  Hebrews 13:8

The one thing that remains the same is JESUS.  Nothing changes about him...he's faithful to love us, care for us, forgive us. In fact, if we accept him as our Savior, we're already forgiven because of what He did on the cross for us.  I'm so very grateful for his mercy and grace ....I fall short each and every day.  And I'm so grateful to know that he'll never leave nor forsake us.

My prayer for you, regardless of the change that might be going on in your life, is that you will: 

"Be strong and courageous!  Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you do."  JOSHUA 1:15

And remember.....

 

Please "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you"  Psalm 122:6

May the Lord bless you mightily in 2010!!

Shalom

ACOUSTIC CHRISTMAS CD

Shortly after I quit the secular music business in 2001, I released "Yodeling in Heaven" which was a compilation CD.  It came (and still comes) with a Companion book explaining the story behind the songs, why they were written and most importantly, how they related and led back to the Lord. 

 "Acoustic Christmas" is my first recording since then.  I'm so excited to not only have had the opportunity to release this CD, but to have the happy prospect of releasing CDs much more often now that my studio is a little better equipped.  Because I'm in the learning curve with my new equipment, this CD is definetly rough around the edges.  It's also definably made with love.  Merry Christmas Ya'll!!

PRAISE & WORSHIP CD

Have had it in my heart to record a praise and worship CD for quite some time.  The Lord gave me new songs during the time I cared for my precious father and I hope to begin work on this album after the first of the year.  It will be called "Songs in the Key of Grace."  Stay turned!!! 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS

I know there are those of you who have continued to pray for me and that I would be able to follow this calling to sing for our Lord and Savior, Jesus...Yeshua, the King of Kings.  I thank you so very much for your prayers.  Please let me know how I might pray for you.....

 HUGS BIBLE REFLECTIONS FOR WOMEN

Just a reminder that Mindy Ferguson's Hugs Bible Reflections for Women book would make a great Christmas gift.

I wrote a short story about my experience as my dad's caregiver and the story is included in the book. It's a great honor to be included with these other wonderful writers.  There's also a story written by my dear friend Pam Durst....and how Gods grace has sustained her in the loss of her beloved husband, Rick.  Be sure to order a copy for you and a friend!!

ISRAEL:

Please "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you"  Psalm 122:6
