Amazing how quick things change in just a week!
Last Monday, my middle Daughter had an invitation to take her first 'unofficial' college visit! So~we headed out West...way west...Lubbock...Texas Tech bound!
Many of you know, I'm not a good driver...in fact, praying for the day I don't need to drive...anyways, headed out singing, "Jesus Take the Wheel!"
Got going...knowing God was in this...felt the continued 'peace that surpasses all' that I've been feeling with this 'new' ME God has been transforming!
Got to the last 2 hours of the drive and started noticing the dark clouds ahead and then the National Weather kept interrupting in on the radio with severe thunderstorm warnings that should hit between 3-9. Me, being the optimist just knew it would wait til we were arrived at our destination...nope.
It was really odd. It was like these big ugly orange/dark clouds were right in front of us...and all I knew to do was keep on going. Winds started moving my car towards the left...the 18 wheeler in front was swaying...yup-here we go-myself and my two youngest Daughters heading right for the storm. Amazing. I've never seen real 'storm chasers' til this day. There was the first, second and then the third. The winds started picking up and I started gripping my steering wheel harder. Called my husband to let him know what was going on...not sure why...but just 'in case.'
I knew I couldn't panic, so I kept focusing on the car in front of us with their hazard lights on. It was this moment that 'life' hit me.
Life is about 'driving into the storm straight on and completely Trusting in Him!' Wow. As you've read, there have been many storms I've faced, but not like this with just me and my girls in the middle of nowhere.
...Kept looking forward and knew the only thing I could do was reach out to God and pray with this new Faith and let Him drive us. Amazing. The middle Daughter said, "Mom, we can pull over now and I said no...we have to keep going thru-thinking 'this too shall pass!'
Ahhhhh....it did...we made it thru.
Thought I would shop around to get a good deal on a hotel, but found the first one that happened to be quite nice and said, I deserve this one! ~whew!
Checked in and then headed out to meet the Coach completely calling him the wrong name which let the girls know just how 'frazzled' their Mom really was.
It's been a week since this and I continue to reflect on this experience.
I have some really sweet "Praise Reports" to share about just how good and Faithful God is. HE WILL BE WITH YOU DURING YOUR STORM!!!
My oldest Daughter called last Thursday to tell me she would be getting a 'Full-Ride' this next year where she will be a Senior and VP of the Student Government at TLU and plans to pursue Law.(she just took her LSAT and is waiting on her score!)
Yesterday, the Middle Daughter 'verbally committed' to attend Texas Tech where she will start on the Woman's Soccer Team in 2012! The school, Coach, location is so perfect for her!
The Youngest Daughter was so impressed with the Texas Tech school, she plans on attending there as well to focus on her Mrs. Degree in 2015.
And then, for me-My Husband came back 'home' the day I posted my last blog. Our time apart was good and our time together has been 'Magical!' Blessed Assurance is taking Baby steps...and then this Friday I take the Real Estate Broker Exam in hopes to focus on the idea of a Faith Based Real Estate Company with using the One year Bible as the 'Training Guide' to 'Open the new door of your home for His Glory to shine through'
And yes...Trusting God for all!

The 'Walk' of my Life
Monday, May 17th I took what I call the 'Walk' of My Life. In reality it really began 5 years ago as I've shared with learning to 'Live' again. and have done this with God's word in the One Year Bible to be completely 'transformed' from who I was to who I AM by taking the 'Walk' of living my life of being set 'free' and getting In-line with God's purpose and plan for my life.
On the 17th, things were 'heatin' here at he 'new place' with my Husband and I told him I needed to go for a walk. As I was heading out, I asked God where I was going? He said-'there!' 'There' being where it really got heated up, 5 years ago when it was time for me to 'let go' of ME and surrender to HIM which was the home I moved out from, leaving my family and everything I knew to become the real 'Me'.
Wow. I kept pleading with God, it's kind of far, I'm really not dressed for this and He said, Trust in me. I started out, gettin a whistle and a honk and thought, I can't do this. God said, keep goin. As I got closer to the home, walking the streets that had so many memories of walking my kids to school, playing tennis, bike rides, I started understanding the 'need' of the walk. It was as if I needed to walk back thru this to see how far God has taken me. When I came to my street, tears started running down my face. How in the world did I ever leave this, what in the world took me down the road to such darkness? And then...as I walked up to my home the current resident was there and I walked up, introduced myself and said, I was just 'walking' by.
When I got back to the 'new place, ' the next part of the finishing touches of this 'transformation' process had begun as my husband was not there, he had gone back to the 'old place' of what he knew.
Tuesday morning the 18th of May the One Year Bible reading was: John 10:10: 'The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.' Yup. That's pretty much what was happening 5 years ago and was trying again today. After I finished my Bible reading, I was led to a book a wonderful Woman of God wrote and gave me called, 'Walking in Victory.' (A MUST FOR ALL to read and do as a Bible study...(www.GayeMoss.com)
Well-again, I tell you, the reason I'm so passionate about the One Year Bible is there just can't be so many coincidences(God's way of being anonymous)as this. I opened the book and Lesson One, Chapter One is Experiencing God's Abundant Life and the first verse to be read is:
"The thief comes only in order to steak kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).' John 10:10.
I was able to read thru the Book while reading in the One Year Bible the book of John that reinforced-applied the word of God. (In my earlier blog-this is how I worked thru my Dad's heart attack and how I'm dealing with the current situation with my husband.)
My friend mentioned in the book she was needing some help dealing with her emotions and read the Bible thru praying about this. As I finished her book, I've been doing the same. Another very gifted person who is an amazing man of God is named Bob Hamp who is executive Pastor of Freedom at my church. He just released His book-'Think Differently-Live Differently!' Once again-get it-read it-apply it with the Word of God-amazing!
It wasn't his book that has brought me to what I consider some of the 'fine-tuning' during this 'walk,' as it was an article He wrote in a magazine of 'Becoming Yourself.' He highlights 3 main steps to the pathway to freedom: Surrender your perspective, surrender your will and finally surrender your soul (mind, will and emotions.) Again, knowing my One Year Bible reading has been in the book of John, with chills it references:
"Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." John 3:19-21
What I know for sure, this 'Walk' has been an amazing transformation process! The pain of 'life' that hurts deep in my gut is gone. Finally. And I know 'life' is going to continue. What I have learned and again want to help you with, is no matter what you're going thru YOU can begin the 'Walk of Your Life' today with this One Year Bible or any (this one just made it so easy for me and I really believe it will be easy for you if you're in a dark place looking for some way out)....God's promises are true and He is there every step of the way....Trusting God for All!

'What is Blessed Assurance Ministries?'
Many of you know Real Estate has been my 'day' job since the early 90's. Well, you might also know, during these past couple years, this is 'THE' industry that was first hit with the current economic 'issue's' and sorry to say, there was and has not been a Government bailout to help. Thanking God again for the ONE Year Bible-my textbook for strength again during a very difficult time.
For me, there were 2 choices-RUN....or seek God for His purpose and plan knowing full well, He's the one that led me to Real Estate in the first place.
In 2006, I began understanding my LOVE for Real Estate was 'more' than the 'Art of the Deal.' I honestly began loving the people I was helping to sell their home or purchase their new one. My favorite 'house-warming' gift began to be what I considered the only gift-a Bible with their name on it!
After my first Mission trip in 2007, God began 'stirring' something in my heart. A vision of helping people in their darkest moments 'see the light' somehow using the One Year Bible. It's like the 'pieces of the puzzle' of my life began to make sense. My love of the 'death process' and the knowledge I'm a born Chaplain began to make me smile.
I can't tell you how many times I've thought back to the career test I took in high school that said the 'perfect' job for me would be Funeral Home Embalmer at the time 'I thought' I would be the 'perfect' Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines!
By the end of 2007, I understood 'some' of this, but not all.
April 2008, the ministry(Blessed Assurance) God had given me received Tax-exempt status from the IRS! I asked God to tell me the name to be used and I was obedient, however still not seeing the 'big picture.'
Since then, God has taken down a path today I know was for 'the good' of the Ministry. I have experienced some really tough 'Life' challenging moments where I know now was preparing me for what 'the ministry is.'
It was just 2 weeks ago while out with my Husband, he mentioned we need to go to church even though we're gonna be a few minutes late. We walked in just in time for one last song of the Praise and worship time....ONE last song that said IT so well...the ONLY song that could have brought me to my knee's during a time in 'Life' I was learning what TRUE love is and what we are ALL called to do:
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Last Tuesday, I felt led to finally open the bank account to accept donations for what I know now God is wanting me to do to be the vessel He has called me to be. While I was sitting in the lobby waiting, the Mission statement came that describes what I believe Blessed Assurance Ministries IS:
Blessed Assurance is a Ministry fulfilling the words of the song of 'telling my story' hoping to help you write yours, using the Word of God...all the day long!
I've attached a link to the title of this blog asking for donations to allow me to continue to 'plant the seed' of buying One Year Bible's to help you to begin writing your story.
I will share, the vision God gave me in 2007 was pretty big. Today, it's just a lil seed looking to grow into a great BIG TREE! If you think about the 'world' today-wow. So many people at the 'place' in life where they've hit the 'rock bottom' of darkness I know so well and I would love any and all support from you to help them to 'see the light!'

PLEASE Don't Wait to Make the 911 Call!
Revelation 3:20 says Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
My Friends, Family and Fellow Amercians I come today begging of you pleading with you that you don't wait to make the 911 call!
Early last Friday night, my cell phone started blowing up with my 2 big sisters calling me. I tried to call back, got their voice mail and then listened to mine....the message said, "Hey..not sure if you've heard, but Dads' had a heart attack.'
There's kind of a golden rule in my Family, you don't call me until you know what's going on because I'm the 'emotional' one. YUP that's me!
I immediately called my middle Sister and completely loosing it said, "How bad is it????!!!' (Looked up and said 'Thank you God for what you are about to do.)
Right now..I must take a moment and say a quick prayer:
'Father God. I Thank you so much for your WORD and the knowledge it is TRUE! Your WORD says, you will not give us more than we can handle. I Thank you for my Family and Friends and know 'we CAN do all things thru Christ who strengthens us!'~AMEN!
Saturday morning I rounded up my girls and we headed to Lake Travis. On the way there, I felt something 'lift' in me and started grinning! Had the funniest thought that came to mind: 'Gee Dad, you don't have to have a heart attack to get us to come visit, really! Next time, just ask!"
So many wonderful moments already coming from this.
I've been able to see my 2 Sisters in a whole new way. My big sister is definitely the one to be named 'Executor' to their estate. She came in and showed such love and leadership as the Oldest Daughter. Very independent and amazing strength! My middle sister is somewhat like the 'care taker.' She just kept asking my Mom, 'What do you want to do, do you want me to go with you, and I will go to Physical Therapy with you. She has a new since of peace she is walking in and it shines thru her in ways I don't think she even knows! As for me, I'm learning the BIG ONE: God is LOVE...I must act in LOVE in ALL situations!
The most amazing moment so far is watching My Mother show how much she loves 'Her Man!'
Apparently, Dad started feeling some pain in his left shoulder about 2:00 in the afternoon while prepping the boat for the weekend. He kept on going thinking the pain would go away and finally after doing everything 'He' thought possible...now 3 HOURS LATER, he called my Mother and told her, 'He wasn't feeling too well." Still not making the 911 call. Bless her heart-no pun intended! She was at the grocery, left her cart in the aisle and made a run to save her Man! Got to the Lake house, immediately gave him some baby aspirin and together decided they needed to go to a clinic. They arrived, hooked Dad up to the EKG and said, 'You're having a heart attack...we need to get you to the hospital!' NOW the time came to make the 911 call! Good ole Dad, says he was looking at them in complete disbelief. My heavens, the ambulance came with the sirens going off and I can only imagine what He and Mom were thinking at this moment. It would definitely have to have been the 'ride of His life!'
Today Dad is good. We are all VERY grateful it wasn't His time to go!
To you my close Friends, please look at your lives and take inventory. PLEASE ask yourself if you're really being 'true' to who you are? Are you where you are supposed to be? Do you know the truth? How long is it before you make the '911' call?
My fellow Americans, WE ARE HEADED FOR THE WORST ECONOMIC SHUT DOWN IN HISTORY! Our Government is acting in ways no man should have to live thru. The good news is WE ALSO KNOW A WORLD REVIVAL IS COMING!
PLEASE don't wait to make YOUR 911 call! PLEASE 'let go' of all control of your money and power and resolve to the LOVE God intended...as it is written, 'In GOD WE TRUST!' As you know...Trusting God for All...and I will close with my favorite song:
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stor'd;
He hath loos'd the fateful lightning
Of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watchfires
Of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar
In the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel
Writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with My contemners,
So with you My grace shall deal:"
Let the Hero born of woman
Crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgment seat.
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him!
Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
That transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy
Let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
