Honduras Missions

Hello, All!
As some of you know, my husband Brandon has been to Honduras on one misisons trip with our church and is going again this coming June. We have raised most of the money, but we still need a little more support. God has been so good to us and now Brandon is going to share that love with others.



Brandon took this photo on last year's trip. I added the Bible verse Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God." Brandon went out every morning and stood on a bridge watching the sun come up, reading and praying. In this picture is a man in a small boat fishing. The setting is so quiet and serene. Could we even imagine life like that? We are always so busy. Not that that's a bad thing! But God reminds us to take time for Him. He wants us to stop, to be still, and know that He is God, He is in control of everything.
We are offering this photo for a $15 donation to the missions trip. Last year, the group worked with a children's church, helped the kids paint, traveled to churches doing dramas and praying for the congregation, handing out care packages at a children's home and more. Your donation will show someone God's love.
If you would like to see what last year's trip was like, we put together a YouTube video for you to watch. Just search "Honduras 2011 Brandon's Trip."
Thank you and God bless!

Book to Read: Heaven Is For Real

I got the book Heaven Is For Real for Christmas. I read it in a little over 2 hours. It is soooooo good! The little boy in the book left his body during a surgery, spent 3 minutes in heaven, and this book tells of what he remembers.

I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ, and this book, along with countless other stories, confirm the belief that there is life after death. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will spend eternity with Him in heaven :) If you do not, there is another place you will go :(

This book is close to my heart as well because the little boy in this book was around 4 years old when he had this experience. My little boy just turned 5. I cried once while reading this book and it was when the mother was holding her little boy in her arms and she looked up at her husband and said, "I think this is it." Boohoo! I couldn't even imagine the heartbreak she went through. God is so good to get us through the unimaginable.

If you have time, read this book. It is so nice to read about Jesus who loves us soooooooooo much :)
