Quick Coffee Bean update...

WOW! I have almost reached my goal of 100 pounds of coffee beans sold for our troops!!! I've sold 85 1/2!!! Thank you to all who have helped me so far! Those of you who gave me money, I wrote a note on the bag of beans saying: Thank you for your sacrifice, we are praying for you! Love, (your name here) Lake Cities Church Of Christ--Trophy Club, Tx
ooohh...so, make sure you pray for them :) Plus I entered your name in the drawing for the "Aroma solo coffee machine."


This week is the last week to buy them for our troops(well, for us to send them anyway) You can certainly still buy them anytime, and send them anytime!

I also wanted to let you know, that EVERYTIME you do purchase a bag of beans you help us raise funds to build schools and hospitals for our farmers who grow beans for Starbucks!

I was just soooo blessed to find that out! I'm not sure if I told you...but Starbucks DOES NOT believe in sweat shops and stuff!!! They truly do care about the farmers and their daily lives!

So, just know that EVERYTIME you buy beans...you bless our wonderful farmers and their sweet sweet families!

I pray you guys have a blessed week living boldly for our Lord! He is sooo Awesome! I pray the enemy to be bound up...You would not fall prey to believing his lies of anything less of our Faithful Warrior! Be brave and take heart that HE is the one who stands ahead of us...VICTORIOUS!!

An excerpt from "The Power Of A Praying Parent" Calendar

The joy of the Lord is rich and deep and causes anyone who walks in it to be likewise. That's because joy doesn't have anything to do with happy circumstances; it has to do with looking into the face of God and knowing He's all we'll ever need.



Psalm 16:11
You will show me the path of life:
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

I pray we desire this to be true in our lives.

A quote added to, from "Turn" by Max Lucado

We see satan poised to claim victory. We feel something near despair as we watch cancer/diseases ravage bodies, marriages torn apart, drugs and disrespect dominating lives, loved ones walking aimlessly,our nation make wrong turn after wrong turn, wrong move after wrong move etc...


But in the darkest moment God whispers,


I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
HE HASN'T WON YET."



The Lord will hear your crying, and He will comfort you. When He hears you, he will help you"
Isaiah 30:19 NCV


"pray without ceasing"
1 Thessalonians 5:17 NASB

It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35

An article that has become our creed as well!

We were immediately blessed by this article by John Piper.

However, the article was much simpler when John Piper wrote it. DGM added some great material to it, but I found the original much more accessible and inspiring. Here is the way DGM published it originally - my favorite version!
