Hello Ladies,
This is our 1st Blog ~ it's finally here!
I have tried to put out a video podcast of the Coronation Ceremony from February...but,technology was not our friend that day. The sound is pretty bad. I am trying to learn as much as I can so that we can post pods in the future. {Oh, I need many prayers for that!}
I will post pictures as soon as I can figure that one out as well :o)
Things have been crazy here...starting this ministry, writing the workbook, learning tech "things", planning our 1st LIVE Event Seminar and all the mom and wife responsibilities of life.
I have been busy.
Oh, but girlfriends...I have been blessed.
God has been AMAZING!
Check this out...
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 (NIV)
Everything is so new...I never wrote a workbook, planned a LIVE Event Seminar, or started a women's ministry and so in a way I feel "blind". I am definitely walking along unfamiliar paths.
God has been so faithful.
The following may be a stretch for what this scripture is "actually" talking about...but I felt led from the beginning that this ministry is what the Lord wanted me to do. I felt very inadequate and blind at different times during this start-up process. This scripture fed into me that He does lead me and guide my steps...I can trust Him that He is in full control.
For all the areas that are way out of my league of comprehension...God has placed someone in my path to help me out. One sister I am thinking of, KD, I ran into her many times before it hit me that she was the one with whom I needed to ask a particular question for my workbook. Oh...God is patient!!
He has turned the light on in my dark areas of confusion...he has smoothed out my rough edges of writing...Praise God for Anita Dahling!! {You will see in this Blog...that I write as I talk...and sometimes that does not look good written out!!}
And I have to say, I am thankful that He has never forsaken me. I love Him and am so glad that I am His.
Blessed be your glorious name, O Lord!!
Well, write back and say hi!
Jesus loves you ~ Laurie Kay
Laurie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are bringing light to others in this dark area.
We lost a baby 15 years ago and were encouraged to name him/her. Grieving took me awhile, but I am at peace now with the experience. Letting me think of myself as a mother was also a helpful idea. I may have lost the baby, but it just showed how much care I had for him/her as a parent. I didn't stop being a mom when the child was gone.
I hope many couples find support in practical ways. Bringing this issue into the light will help that happen. Sometimes people try to help, but say the wrong thing. Having someone walk with you in practical ways can be really comforting. I know someone who helped a mom put away the baby clothes after her son died. A friend of mine offered to go to the doctor's office with me to ask for the sonogram video. Those are things that are hard to do alone.
Our last church had a bereavement service for families who experienced losses like this. It was a powerful evening, but we had some technical challenges with the recording of the event. Stick with it.
Blessings with your efforts!

ReplyDeleteYou ROCK girlfriend! I really miss your laugh and your beautiful smile. I know God is going to bless your faithfulness! I'm so proud of you, I guess you have been kinda busy since we left the area.
Much love, you are in my prayers,
Andrea Meador

ReplyDeleteI had a teaching about the road being made straight....get this....before someone important was to come to a city ...slaves (I"M sure) were made to get the stones out of the path of the chariot along the road way.....yes, there are bumps along the way but it is our God and his grace that gets the path smooth if we abide in him.
I'm passing this site to a neice who has lost a stillborn and a miscarriage. She is pregnant again and is very anxious....pray for her. MS...that's all I can give you...
my blessings and GREAT BIG HUGS TO YOU ... GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!!! VONNY
What can I say girl... you were born to do this. I, too, cannot wait to see all that God has in store for you. Love u tons and tons and tons. Praying for you.
