New updates on Books for PNG

Sorry, I have been slacking a little on posting on here. I have been taking some summer courses and time has surely slipped away from me. Where has the summer gone? The kids are starting school in two weeks and we are scurrying around getting uniforms and supplies. Hope your summer has been a fun and productive one.

I wanted to post some updates on BOOKS FOR PNG. We have received a set of brand new encyclopedias for the school in Papua New Guinea's library from a wantok in Wisconsin. We also have officially received the supplies from an employee in the Cincinnati Public Schools. God is good. Please continue to keep our efforts in your earnest prayers. The cost of sending on small box to PNG is $57 per box. This is the international flat rate. I know God is able to provide this. We do have several promises to help in shipping costs, but no actual contribution yet. Trust you have a blessed day and again please put us on your prayer list.

God bless,

Updates On Books for Papua New Guinea-God is good!

My husband and I are so excited! We received five boxes containing the books for Papua New Guinea that we are collecting in the mail. They were sitting on our front porch after arriving home. God is good. We also got an update from others helping us collect that one of public schools in Cincinnati, Ohio is giving more than just books, they are giving in school supplies as well. God is so so good! Please continue to pray as we continue to collect books, etc for P.N.G.

God is the essence of beauty, and He longs to share His beauty with us.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." ~ Proverbs 31:30

God is the essence of beauty, and He longs to share His beauty with us. When we accept Jesus, His beauty resides within us. And if we revere Him, we will mirror His beauty from the inside out. This is God's desire.

Consider Esther. Although she was physically beautiful, Esther also glowed with an inner beauty that was established and purposed by God before she ever entered the king's palace (Es. 2:7, 15). She won the king's favor and approval because she was on a mission from God to save His and her people. And God's hand of favor and protection was upon her as she consistently made right choices, yielding to the Father's will.

Esther understood wisdom as is evident by how she followed her uncle Mordecai's counsel to not reveal her identity and the eunich Hegai's suggestion to not ask for anything when she came before the king (Es. 2:10-11, 15). Esther understood the wisdom of 1Peter 3:4, ". . . the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." And she also understood the power of revering God through fasting (Es. 4:16).

Esther had substance, and her beauty was a power tool used by God to accomplish His will to save a nation.

How is God using your beauty? Likewise, how are you using your beauty?

Contrary to the nobleness of Esther, the once perfect (Ps. 50:2) but fast fleeting beauty of Jerusalem is described in Ezekiel 16 as prostitution. When we "trust in our beauty and use our fame to become a prostitute" (vs. 15), our beauty becomes pillaged by the enemies of destruction and death. Our own disobedience and idolatry to ungodly pleasures opens the door, giving the devil a legal right to "pimp" us out, leaving us depleted, defiled and disgusted.



The beauty of God is everlasting. It doesn't fade. It is perfect. In this, we have hope.

Lamentations 3:22-26 says, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.' The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord."

May we choose to honor God by living in the nobility of a yielded heart, mind and body and therefore embrace His full measure of reigning beauty for His glory.
