Lots of News!

We had snow rollers in our front yard...they are created by the wind in open spaces and really neat to look at! Yahweh's creativity at work!




I was on Hebrew Nation Radio AM 1220's show Cuppa Shebrews this past Wednesday talking about Purify 2014 and Purify West Coast - Retreats for Hebrew Roots Singles.  If you did not get a chance to hear it live, they have it posted in their achives at  
http://hebrewnationonline.com/blog/hebrew-nation-morning-show-cuppa-shebrews-01222014/

One of the questions I get from those considering coming to Purify 2014 or Purify West Coast - Retreats for Hebrew Roots Singles is "will there be others my age?" We had all age ranges from 16 to 75 well representated! There were not only the younger ones but also those in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. No matter your age, if you are single, please come join us for an amazing time of growing in Yahweh, fellowship, and being refreshed!  www.purify2014.com and www.purifywestcoast.com.

Ray Vander Laan and Radio

This past weekend, my family was able to go up to Holmes County and hear Ray Vander Laan of That the World May Know videos speak live.  He was very good, and we enjoyed his presentations on how to tie events in the New Testament back to those in the Old Testament. 

 Here I am with Ray.  I also got a copy of his book which he graciously signed for me.

Ray blowing the shofar on Shabbat.

We were also able to meet friends for dinner before Ray speaking on Thursday night.  That was such a special treat!  :)  We then had friends join us at the event on Shabbat, so it was great to spend time with them as well.  Then we were able to stop and eat supper at Pizza Hut as a family on our way home after Shabbat which was a fun treat!

This week, Melanee interviews me about Purify 2014 and Purify West Coast on Women Encouraging Women Radio Show.  Please listen by going to http://www.womenencouragingwomen.org/?p=256!

Heading There...

Last night after Shabbat, I finished my last main course in my studies as a Naturopathic Doctor which means that I am now ready to start my Doctrinal Project!  I'm hoping to be ready to graduate around Passover of this year (April time frame).

This week, I posted a new article on Making Study Time a Priority at http://standinginyhvhshand.org/studytimepriority.htm.  How are you doing on studying the word of God?  Is it a priority?  Be ready to be challenged and encouraged as you read this article.  I know I was as I wrote it! 

Also, the subscription portion of the Money Management Mentors website went live this week! 
This section is a subscription only part of the site filled with many resources for Financial Mentors.  Whether you are working in your church, community, or other type of ministry, this is a much needed resource.  We did our best to provide you with every possible resource that you might need.  We feature a Rolodex of over 450 entries of Biblical resources on related topics you might encounter while coaching, a weekly review of top financial headlines and other pertinent information regarding financial coaching, a handy answer reference guide to the top asked financial questions which is ever expanding, and a community board to connect with other financial coaches.  We also offer you a tracking resource to be able to follow the families you are working with, their progress, and your needed follow up steps with each family.  All of these for only $10 per year.  Click here to sign up!

Plans Changed

While I may plan my week, the Lord orders my steps.  My family had planned to go to a conference in Nashville, Tennesse; I was looking forward to the fellowship and seeing two of my closest friends there!  However, we received 4 inches of snow the day we were to leave and even went on Snow Emergency Levels where I live.  For those of you not from the North, Snow Emergency Levels mean the sheriff's office is telling you the roads are dangerous...please stay off them!  So, I had to give up my own desires and trust Yahweh. 

By Shabbat the roads were improved enough that we were able to have friends over to enjoy the day with us which I greatly enjoyed.  We had a good midrash on the weekly Torah Portion and enjoyed some great fellowship.  Later today, we are supposed to get another 3-8 inches of snow!  The snow is pretty; however, I must admit, I am ready for Spring and warmer weather.  Oh well, while the snow is here, we may as well enjoy it.  Hopefully, we can have some snow cream (ice cream made from snow).  Also, all of the young adults are planning to go snow tubing later this month which promises to be fun.
