HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

God bless all our dear Mothers!! In ancient Israel, the mother of the home was regarded as the one who molded the tender babes with love and hovering care (as our Lord said He cares for us) in order to prepare the child for the father's instruction. A bond with and a love for the child is an inborn gift that God gave to Mothers. We must never forget to honor and love them.

This is a message to all the sisters and brothers in the Lord who have visited my websites and prayed for us when we needed prayer, supported us with your love and letters, and have been such an important part of our lives.

While my web sites and social life have suffered this past year and will possibly take a long time to recover, I can gladly say that the Lord has been working in me. It's been a period of soul searching and trials. I believe that our heavenly Father sometimes needs to strip us of a lot of things that we pick up along our journey to Him that are not necessary and can be hurtful.

The cry of my heart is now ... "Lord I want to know you better and experience Your love as never before! And feel Your protective arms around me!"

I've been taken back to the picture I saw one day in Vacation Bible School of Jesus, the Shepherd, walking down a winding path in the woods with a lamb in His arms and a flock following Him. That's the Jesus I loved from that moment on and that's the Shepherd I want to trust in and lean on with all my heart. I'm desiring renewal of that love and devotion and since I believe the Word is true, I know He draws near to those who draw near to Him. I'm more hopeful lately than I've been in a long time.

In our culture and in this day and age, we have so much and we take so much for granted. There's so much more to belonging to the Lord. I'm afraid we've become a lukewarm group in general. We worry so much about doctrine, what church to belong to, what to do, what not to do ... etc. that I feel we're missing the true meaning of being God's children and our place in His family. It's my prayer that we all, as believers, have our spiritual eyes opened to see our Father, really see Him!

I'm not going to plunge in full steam ahead on my sites. I've got to take small steps and keep my priorities right. However, I will be doing new pages as I can and new Bible lessons as the Lord leads. I will do my best to keep the sites up.

I hope everyone will understand that I won't be writing many personal e-mails. We now have the online store which our family opened to help supplement the website and music ministry. I have 3 albums I started over a year ago and was not able to complete. I intend to start on them again soon. My music room is ready and although I've made several attempts to get back into that, I believe that the other issues in my life had to be resolved first. That's why I was never able to get going on the Bible Lessons or the recording of my albums.

Our love to all! May God bless you throughout this New Year of 2007!

Love in Jesus, Genelle and family
