Bread for Life: The Move, The Changes and The Prayers!

Thank you to everyone who prayed for our prayer meeting last night.

God is good all the time and all the time God is so, so, GOOD.

As many of you may know, Bread For Life Ministries moved with our family in August, from the Sonoma County area, down to our home church, in San Diego, CA.

In many ways, the ministry is starting over in a new church and new community.

(Thankfully, I still have a wonderful team who is willing to bake and sell bread in Sonoma County! Praise God for the love and excitement this ministry has left with those dear friends.)

With this move, means lots of changes and many unknowns.

One thing I DO know, Bread for Life is now surrounded and supported

by a church with complete and total compassion and love for the orphan.

I couldn't ask for anything more.

My Pastor has a HUGE heart for the 'least of these' and

WANTS to see great things happen.

Through tears, we talked about this.

I will be given the freedom to walk as the Lord leads with a team of believers

who trust and believe in the mighty Hand of God over this ministry.

My heart is filled with hope and warmed with excitement.

Although we still don't have all the answer to all the questions

surrounding this sweet little bread-baking-ministry,

we know this is God's ministry and

"He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion

until the day of Christ Jesus." (Phil. 1:6)

Amen?

Please continue to pray as we unfold more details in the days, weeks and months to come.

My heart is ready to get back in the kitchen.

I miss baking. I miss laboring for these children.

The Lord knows this.

He created my heart for this ministry and I trust Him completely to bring this ministry

to full operation under his Sovereign Hand.

So again, THANK YOU to everyone who has prayed.

Right now, your prayers mean the world to me.

It will be through prayer that His beautiful Will for this sweet ministry will be revealed.

So with that, lets pray together and watch the Lord do Great and Mighty

things we could not even imagine, again! ;)

"Call to me and I will answer you,

and will tell you great and hidden things

that you have not known."

Jeremiah 33:3

Today our family is on a mission. However, our story began back in 2003. We were married, blessed with 3 beautiful children and the world’s best loving little Shiz-Tu of a man-dog! (We really love him. Probably too much. But that is not what this blog is about!) My husbands name is Chris but my kids and I call him ‘Papa’! We have been married for over 8 years. We have seen some amazing mountain tops in our marriage and we have also swam in the depths of the oceans floor. We know that God is alive, working and ALL POWERFUL. We are living proof! Our children are amazing. They REALLY do make us laugh. So many times we just look at each other and shake our heads because they are so cute and unpredictable. They force us to learn humility, mercy and grace constantly and we fail daily. It’s actually very sobering. We are completely broken people. Sinners in need of grace, forgiveness and mercy like you need air and water. We give our brokenness to Jesus. We turn in all our failures and sinful ways in hopes that Jesus will use these vessels (our lives, our bodies) for His ultimate and complete Glory and unto His Kingdom. What is this blog about? It’s about Jesus and Orphans! As you will read, we are now on a mission. To love the orphan! To serve HIS children and help provide for any urgent needs we encounter. We originally were praying about adoption. However, we are now praying that the Lord would just SEND US, if that is His plan. We have started a ministry called, "Bread For Life" and we bake and sell bread to help raise money for children in need. It began in December of 2011, we have raised almost $20,000! This little ministry is being turned into a non-profit and we are seeking the Lord for what He has in store for us next. If you can get past all the misspelled words, run on sentences and confusing grammar than sit back and be encouraged! God is on the move in our hearts and we are thrilled! We invite you to laugh, cry, pray, rejoice and hope that Christ be glorified through our lives. There is a war to fight and we are headed to battle! This is our mission, Our Story.
