FRIENDS, BIBLE STUDY,BAGS AND ROOFING AND A WARNING
The last several days we have been a bit overwhelmed with non building busyness. Juvenal and Benita Flores along with John and Margaret Ramos drove down from San Antonio to visit for the weekend. Paula has known Benita for 45 years and it was the first time they have driven the 4 hours to visit in several years. We enjoyed having them for the weekend, and meeting the Ramos' as well. We met for breakfast Sunday morning before they headed North and we headed to Church, where once again we really enjoyed our Sunday School class.
Yesterday the truck arrived with hundreds of pieces of roofing that came off a church in Kentucky along with some windows. The donation will probably be enough for 20 houses or so. Dave and his son Tyler brought the load at no charge to the ministry. Shawn Estes from Fortify Ministries arranged the whole thing and got a coke machine out of the deal. The roofing is 22 feet long, so I will have to rent a metal chop saw and cut it to size. I also picked up 6 thousand slider lock bags that I ordered from Dollar General, unfortunately they would not donate the bags!!
Now with all these building materials on hand, I need to start building a few houses, but we keep getting side tracked with a lot of different things. Paula and Luzma are planning the wedding of all weddings at the end of the month when 6 couples share vows and get married on the same day. We have been buying wedding dresses and suits and shirts and shoes to get everyone ready. Two women have been very sick in the colonia and needing surgery, Johnnys wife Juana being one of them. We need to come up with several thousand dollars to pay for the surgery's.
I must still sound the warning about the coming judgement on the USA. Many, no most everyone doesn't want hear about it. They love their life, their job, their things, their church, their family, and don't want to hear anything about the disruption that is coming on the whole earth. The stage is set, the players are in place, the Lord has spoken and continues to warn us but we are sleeping, and refuse to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. Read Revelation CHAPTERS 2 AND 3 about the 7 churches, they are really conditions of the heart, where do you see yourself???? BE HONEST!! My guess is that the American church is Laodicen Church, thinking they are the Church of Philadelphia.
As we have been studying in our ABF class at church, there is a great battle going on between our flesh and the Spirit of God living in us. Last week as I was thinking about the coming collapse of our monetary system, I was considering buying some gold and silver when the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said" I own all the gold and silver on the earth, buy a truck load of rice and feed people". So last week I bought enough rice for 1/2 million meals for 9 thousand dollars, and with that, God is well pleased!!!! DENY YOURSELF, PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND DIE TO YOURSELF AND FOLLOW HIM. EASY TO SAY, SO HARD TO DO WHEN THE WAR WAGES ON IN YOUR FLESH. GOOD DAY!!!!

PROVIDING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE GIVES GOD GREAT JOY
ABIDING IN HIS PRESENCE IS WHAT BRINGS US JOY, NOT THINGS!!!
The other day I was just playing my guitar and worshiping the Lord and I was overcome with Gods presence and just started crying as I worshiped. That's when The Holy Spirit reaffirmed that it is good to be in Gods presence. We all know that , but doing it is quite a different story. I'm always so pre occupied with everything the ministry and life has going on. I need, and most likely we all need to spend time just being still in the presence of God and allow The Holy Spirit to minister to us. I was almost uncomfortable because of a lack of "control" over my emotions, so I just said I LOVE YOU LORD, I LOVE YOU HOLY SPIRIT, I LOVE YOU FATHER. IT'S ALL GOOD
Today Johnnys wife Juanna is having surgery to remove some tumors and will pray fully not have to have a hysterectomy. We are going to help them with the cost of the surgery, so if anyone would like to help with that need, bring it on! She's has been having problems and then a hospital in Reynosa cut her uterus and she has been bleeding. Another gynee is doing the surgery at a different place. so pray for healing for her.
Saturday Abraham, a good friend wanted to meet us at our place in Mexico for lunch, so Paula , who was looking marvelous Saturday, made food and we took it over. I told him to take 10- 50pound bags of rice, because we ordered a whole truck load and needed to get rid of what we had at the community center. So he took 10 bags to give out to the people in his area in Reynosa.
I cleaned the warehouse out, and re arraigned thing to make room for 17 pallets of rice. Raul had given out the last of the rice we had in Texas just before we returned home. I was going to make a few phone calls to get donations to buy an entire truck load, we needed $11,000.00 to buy it and get it delivered, and imagine that, I had enough money in the checking account to pay for it. So if you didn't get a phone call from me, maybe you will get one from the Holy Spirit??? The rice is supposed to arrive by 6 pm today, and we have several people from church coming over to bag beans and rice in the one gallon bags.
I posted on Facebook the picture of my kitchen table covered with last years receipts and stuff, because I can no longer my books the way I always have. I have to do them right!! So I've been redoing everything and posted that I need a bookkeeper, well one called yesterday and said he would help, and he lives in Alamo Texas, and He's a CPA and He's a missionary and many of you know Shawn from New Life. He also has enough metal roofing from His church in Kentucky that has hail damage, coming our way on a flat bed trailer. The trucker is donating the transportation. Shawn and I were going to fly there in Sept, rent a truck and haul it down here, BUT GOD PROVIDED ONCE AGAIN.
THANKS AGAIN FOR BLESSING US, SO WE CAN BLESS OTHERS
