Caught Up, Marriage, Sleep

The good news is I am ALL caught up!!! As of today I am all caught up with only a handful of orders here all of which arrived in the last week. PRAISE GOD!!!  Allen literally took a bundle of 40-50 packages to the Post Office yesterday, but it took care of the bulk of them.  I had 1 last one that went today, it was a high dollar order that I poked a hole through one of the matching wing/flags as I went to demo it (here’s video after the hole poking).  Continue reading

Sinuses, Prayer for Marriage and My Heart

Hi all! Quickie update before bed 🙂

First off, I am STILL dealing with sinus stuff!!! I think what happened is allergies hit after I got the sinus infection and keeps it from healing…? I noticed the time I felt better is when I was getting local honey (which helps with allergies) and so Allen is getting some tomorrow for me so we can see if that helps because this is over two weeks now :/ Continue reading

Family of Silk

I realized one thing I forgot to share yesterday – when we went to my pastor’s for dinner, the Lord had me bring silk for everyone from the baby (who got an 11×11), 35x84s for the 3 primary and elementary school girls, 2 wearable ones for the 13 year old, on up to a matching man scarf for my pastor and 22×72 for his wife 🙂 Continue reading

Mercy, Jealousy & Posting

I’m dashing this post off before I head down to do a large batch of dyeing, so first off – prayer over that appreciated!  I’m not feeling much like doing it, but I know when I get in there it will flow – lot’s of fire and passion in the silks tonight, good stuff. Continue reading

D4Y Outpost Planning & More

Lots of things to update you all on.  First off, my hubby made it home from Haiti – YAY!!!  What was emphasized to me while he was gone is that there is NO WAY I could do this ministry without him.  There are vital pieces that he takes care of and without him I was running around crazy trying to be both of us.  Words can’t express how grateful I am for him and for what God continues to do in our marriage 🙂 Continue reading

Hubby, Art, Sales and more

Blessings to you all!  Very early Wednesday morning my hubby left for Haiti where he’ll be ministering until the 10th. Prayers both for his trip and for me while he’s gone are appreciated!  Here’s the goodbye video he left for me (and one he made last year that I watch when I miss him… which is a lot!) Continue reading

Frontline Warriors & Book

I wanted to share what the Lord showed one of you about you guys – the D4Y prayer covering.

She saw the prayer covering team and felt the deep strength, power of unity, grounding. Like a Stonehenge front line – impenetrable strength and power. Fierce, strong like Braveheart. Not like a circle, a front line – like in battle. Fearsome. Continue reading

Outreach, Art and a Visit

Blessing to all my sweet prayer warriors! Thank you as always for your faithfulness in prayer for D4Y and for me personally.  I pray that God would pour His multiplied blessings back over you 🙂

Updates

A couple updates since last week, first is that I have finally made a decision on the outreach/ground-staking thing (which is what I have continually asked for wisdom on). I’m about 98% sure I am to lay it on the altar and walk away. JI (my partner) has not demonstrated that he is in a good place with the Lord and I need wisdom to know how much God wants me to say to him about how his character has impacted my decision. I want him to feel my love, not attacked – yet I feel he needs to hear truth, but I want God to keep this amiable if at all possible. Please pray for protection over my reputation. Continue reading

Praise, Finances, Holidays, & Wisdom

Let me start with some praise reports 🙂

  • My hubby’s (Allen’s) level of peace with where God has him right now has SIGNIFICANTLY increased!  I can only account that to prayer – so thank you for your willingness to cover him as it definitely impacts me.  God’s been giving him very specific insight on things he does that negatively impact me and he’s been specifically working on addressing those – all without me saying a word. Praise God!
  • My level of peace has also increased. This is SUCH a blessing!  He’s been allowing me to get more work done in less time. So awesome – especially since this has left time for things like more fellow-shipping with Him 😉
  • Dyed4you sales over the last couple years looked like this Continue reading

Finding a Place of Rest

God’s had me spending a good portion of the last few days having down-time. I have to tell you that it is VERY hard for me to do that when I have tasks looming overhead that need to be done!  LOL 🙂  But what I’m learning is that in the new life God’s walked me into is that there is ALWAYS something else that “has” to get done. So somehow I have to get past the sensation of “pressure” that something is waiting.  Continue reading
