A New Year!!!!!!!!

Good morning sweet precious ladies,

WE WANT TO KNOW!  

It will look different for each of us........but please ladies consider praying and asking the Lord........"please precious Jesus, make it known to me what can I do in my part of the world. That you want done through me, to Love whoever you call me to Love, in your Name! We may not be able to go to the ends of the earth ladies, but what about our neighbor next door.....the lady we work with who so desperately needs the Lord, the momma at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, who needs someone to adopt her, so she can stay home with her baby.........the little girl or boy whose Daddy is not in the home, (because life has scarred him) not making excuses for him......it's just the way the enemy works to destroy the family! One generation after another......I know......he came after me.......praise the Lord, Jesus rescued me! You can ask the Lord to help you find these people.......but the only way it will really work... is if the work is done in the power of the Holy Spirit. We can do work, just to do work, but if the cup isn't given in the name of Jesus......it is only work. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17

Our stories will be observed by God.......life lived out between Him and ourselves.........He does want to be a part of what we are doing.......it will be amazing!

 As so many of you know this last year our family poured our lives into the life of a little orphan boy named Vitaliy. It started over a year ago.........he came into our son's families home a quiet, shy, a little scared I would say little boy, but needing love. Soon his little life was woven into all 20 of our families hearts. We had to send him back. That is the way Horizans works. But we worked and prayed and God provided a way!

He is signing "I love You" before he gets on the plane........to go back to Ukraine.

Now he is back and living in America, with the name Vitaliy Philip Stubbs!!!!!!! I pinch myself.........it is true. 

 So many of you came along side us and gave of your hard earned money to help us with the 30 thousand dollar fee. We are forever grateful and wish we could tell each of you in person and give you a hug! If you ever adopt a child.........please tell me......we want to help!!!!!!! It is the most wonderful adventure in the world!!!!!!!

Anyway the other day Emma told me about Amazima Ministries. I wrote about it in yesterdays blog.  Later in the day I listened to this  "one precious YOUNG lady tell her story..........I wept........my heart was turned inside out! I want to help her.......God will supply the helps! I know I can't, but He can. If you want to donate go here to  Amazima Ministries. Katie herself (her blog), in her early twenties has adopted 14 precious little girls to date. She has also taught woman (who have had to sell their bodies to care for their children) to make necklaces to help provide for their families. 

She had this on her site. "Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you." George Mueller. 

So true.......I have seen it in my life a thousand times! I could NEVER live this life down here with out HIM!

Katie also has a book called Kisses from Katie, sold here

  

AS you can tell, my heart is excited! I can't wait to ask the Lord to bless this precious Momma of 14........this is only one ministries.......I realize there are ones right in your back door......but I ask you ladies to consider reaching out. Our God has a plan.......to touch lives.........I want to badly be a part of that plan..........and I am asking the Lord to use my blog........for His purposes.........please consider using yours if you aren't already! 

May God use this new Year..........to rock this world for Him......using Young Ladies, Momma's, and Grandmother's in Jesus Name........He will do what we can not!

I love you so much and thank God for each and everyone of you. Let's stay on our knees for our families, our community and for  our world.........that they may know Jesus!

Love you all,very much and may the Lord use us in 2012!

Linda

Oh and thank you Emma.........you were used in a big way, to start a burning in my heart... thank you! I will go to serve in the bakery on Tuesday.......with a new heart along side my family! Even if I faint and grow weary.......he says that He will help me. I know that leaving my home will not be easy, but I will trust Him!
