..all is possible with Him...

... Prenatal class tomorrow and Young Moms group on Tuesday... exciting things coming up at Hope for Life Pregnancy Care Center.. preparations are made .. we are ready...

was able to put together another basket, this time all in blue... a little boy was born and we are able to bless the mother with some of the fluffy, soft, light blue things that were given to us..

the little boy just a bit too young for his mom to drag him out for Young Moms group... eventually we hope she will join to connect with other moms and learn some relevant skills a young mother needs..

handed out some more brochures to someone who is busy making connections for us.. from the beginning it seemed that the biggest need around us here is for Post Abortion Counseling.. amazing that this is where my heart is... not a question ever that He is the One that has put us here, we are bursting with the love of Jesus for the ones that need His healing and comfort.. His practical support and guidance..

our prayer is always for lives to be saved, little babies to be born and souls saved for eternity...
when lifting Henry Morgenthaler up each day we ask that someone around him would love him with the love of the Lord.. loving him into the Kingdom.. what a testimony this man would have..

we know that our God is an awesome God and with Him nothing is impossible.. so tomorrow, we will gather again at Hope for Life and will draw close to Him, the One who made us , the One who saved us and the One who called us according to His purposes, that cannot be thwarted... cheerfully we are there to do the good things He in advance has planned out for us..

It is a privilege and a blessing to serve Him!!! #SoliDeoGloria

... authentic relationships and support...

Monday today, a new week in a new year here at Hope for Life...

2 weeks from today we will start our Free Prenatal class, the Teen Moms group will meet on Tuesday nights..

praying that many of the 130 people that so far clicked on the Facebook adds I put up will show up and we get a chance to get to know the girls and love them with the love Jesus has for them.. give them a safe place to learn and to connect, to be supported and encouraged..

the meetings on Wednesday last week both were tremendously encouraging and wonderful.. it was as if the Lord was saying "Be encouraged" and encouraged we were..

great response from an amazing bunch of community minded pastors and such a huge amount of encouragement from someone who has been in this "business" for 20 years...sharing openly the experience and the wisdom that comes from serving the Lord in this ministry for 2 decades..

so blessed for these connections, all orchestrated by the One who made us, the One who saved us and the One who called us to serve Him with all our hearts..

great meeting last night as a congregation... the brokenness in our world the main focus, and how we as Christians NEED to step out from our nice little bubble and help in practical ways... Hope for Life is doing exactly that and it is great to be part of a whole church that loves the community and wants to give of themselves and engage in meaningful relationships and offer support...

praying that His blessing is on us as we are seeking His will, praying and fasting and striving to be obedient..
His protection is needed as we are engaging in a battle on the front lines... feeling the attacks again and again... your prayers are greatly appreciated!!

can't wait to see the wonderful things He will do!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR Hope for Life....

... almost time to get up, get going for this first morning of Hope for Life 2012..
great things are happening today and I cannot wait...
well, first of all I will have to find our sign again, it might be buried beneath FROZEN snowbanks..
winter...SERIOUSLY..

going back to the Center in itself is such a blessing.
we have been open only 2 months and it still amazes me each day that the Lord would entrust this ministry into the hands of my team and I...

it definitely is Him alone.. none of me, now my team is divinely put together and they ROCK!!!!!

so today, meeting with a whole bunch of pastors, presenting to them this ministry... the cool part is that I know 2 of those guys, and one has been so very supportive already...

later a meeting with a director of another place like ours and that is amazing as well.

then we will have to get ready for the classes we are going to offer come January 23.. ( my birthday.. :)
advertising and such... praying that the Lord will use the Prenatal class and the Teen Moms group to bring those girls we already love inside the doors of Hope for Life..

He is faithful and He DID call us.. so we are waiting patiently for Him to open the flood gates... let it rain Lord, let it rain... let us be the vessels through which your love, grace and mercy will flow to those that need you... your acceptance, salvation and eternal blessing..

VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
