Disappointed? Discouraged? Don't Stop ... His Time is Not Your Time!

Raised in a King's palace for 40 years ... prepared to lead spiritually by his true Mother ... to lead physically by his royal environment.  Moses thinks its time to take action ... TRAGIC results ...

Another 40 years ... no palace comforts ... searing heat and rugged terrain take their toll leading sheep on the backside of the desert.  Eighty years is a long time.  This wasn't how it was supposed to be!

With sun-dried face and burning eyes he peers across the desert scape looking for a watering place for the sheep or anything green for them to eat.  Dust devils are dancing and the heat can be seen rising from the parched ground ... but what's that?  For an indeterminable time the weary shepherd stares at it ... the heat is so severe a bush has combusted spontaneously.  Not that unusual ... but this one continues to blaze ... unconsumed.


Breaking from the norm this would-be king reduced to a wilderness shepherd turns aside to see this phenomenon.  "I'll just check this out," he says to himself ... "and then I better get these sheep to an oasis."

Suddenly out of the midst of the unconsumed shrub a booming voice is heard ... "Take off your shoes Moses.  You are standing on Holy Ground!"  A Divine interruption, encounter ... Divine call!  Everything changes ... the one-time loser becomes the greatest figure in the history of his nation!!  ~ God's timing in his LIFE!!

Your time ... God's time for YOU may be just over the next hill ... DON'T MISS IT !!

Rebuilding ... It CAN be Done ... It Ain't Over 'till Its Over !!

Just Moving In

Jim McIngvale, better known in Houston as "Mattress Mack" has been an inspiration to me for many years. He came to Houston back in the '80s with a small amount of money and purchased a former model home site on the North Freeway. From those old model homes, he launched Gallery Furniture and through his innovative and personal advertising Mattress Mack and his store have become Houston icons.

Recently, I listened to a speech he gave entitled "Bringing the Bright Sunny Future Into the Present," where he told the story of the arson fire set in Gallery Furniture's warehouse on May 21, 2009 and his determination to rebuild and reopen by July 4, 2009. Along with his loyal team, they DID IT! Reopened ... bigger and better than ever!

Donna Working In Her New Kitchen

It reminded me of events in my own life. After an eight year physical decline due to undiagnosed MS, I resigned my position as pastor and my family moved out of the church owned house ... physically broken, emotionally wounded, and mentally confused. I could not walk, dress myself or get out of the bed on my own. My wife, daughter and I moved into my gracious Sister and Brother-in-law's office in their home. I did not know whether I would live ... how or where I would live if I did.

Beautiful Before Decorating

My 35-year career appeared over and my future looked very bleak ... but God was not done! Two years later ... I am recovering and thriving and just moved into a BEAUTIFUL home ... the best home we have ever owned!

You'll be like a well-watered garden,
a gurgling spring that never runs dry.
You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew,
rebuild the foundations from out of your past.

Isaiah 58:11 (The Message)

No matter what has been broken or broken down ... With God it can be rebuilt. And remember the last is always BETTER than the first!
