Fresh Produce

We would like to invite everyone to come visit our veggie stand this summer. We hope to be selling every Saturday from 8AM-12PM. We will be in front of Lewis Furniture on HWY 80 in Clinton.

Produce ready now include spaghetti squash, yellow squash, zucchini, slicing cukes, pickling cukes, carrots, and okra. Coming soon- tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, watermelon, onions, cantaloupes, and green beans.

We are so thankful for the opportunity to grow and sell. I love seeing the kids excited about work and learning. But most of all, I love having one more venue for showing Christ's love to others. Please pray with us that we would obey God's word in 1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God".

Also- If anyone is interested in putting up veggies- such as canning or freezing. If you will let us know ahead of time, we can pick the quantity you need and deliver. We are already putting up whatever veggies we don't sell, so they will not ruin, and we are about to run out of space. My cell- 601-953-3050

"So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but GOD that givith the increase." 1 Cor. 3:7

Not long now!

Georgia and I should be welcoming our seventh child soon. Her due date is July 25th, 2011.

Deliveries have been relatively easy for us thus far. And we are thankful. However, I don't want to assume that it will always be that way. I want to be sure I'm trusting the Lord for our safety, and not just trusting that it's going to be "the same as always". As believers we walk from "faith to faith". Please pray with us as this exciting day approaches!

Also, we are praying for God's direction on a name. We may be getting close, but we don't have complete confidence it's the right name- so we'll keep seeking.

Eye opening

"Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there be which go in there at: because strait is the gate and narrow the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" also- "Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name? And in Thy Name have cast out devils? And in Thy Name done many wonderful works?' And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:13-14, 22-23

Jesus= The Way (narrow)= few find it

Broad way= wide gate= false Christianity= many are there

Psalm 119:17

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Do I limit God?

I came across these verses this week during my reading. The one thing that impacted me the most was in verse 41 where it says that Israel "limited the Holy One of Israel". The context of this chapter is the Exodus of Israel and how they constantly forgot what God had done for them. I know so many times I have been guilty of grumbling or forgetting the power of God in my life. I certainly don't want to "limit" God in what he can do in me, and through me. Nor do I want my actions to tell Him that I believe His power has limits.

Lord help us to believe that you are as powerful as you say you are, and that you are capable of keeping every promise that you have made! Now to the text:

"How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." Psalm 78:40,41

No Other Saviour

Wow! It's been a really busy month since my last post- hope all is well with everyone.

I don't understand all there is to know about the trinity of our God. I do believe that God the father, Jesus the son, and the holy spirit are one- but my mind can't exactly wrap around how.

That being said...I love reading in the old testament how God is a jealous God, and we are to have no other Gods before Him. And then in the new testament Jesus tells us that no one can come to the Father except by Him. So- I know that Jesus is God, and God is Jesus..and He is the only God, the only way for salvation.

Old Testament:

Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."

Isaiah 45:21 "....and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a saviour; there is none beside me."

Hosea 13:4 "Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me."

New Testament:

John 4:42 "And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world."

2 Timothy 1:10 "But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:"


Acts 4:10-12 "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

A good soldier uses ALL of his weapons

2 Timothy 2:3-4 (King James Version)

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."

One of the "weapons" I can use to combat my flesh is fellow believers. That's right- If I surround myself with strong believers that will hold me accountable, and be willing to encourage me with God's word: then I have a genuine "weapon" for spiritual warfare.

Proverbs 13:20 reads- "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." and 15:31- "The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise."

Reproof is good, correction is good, believers who instruct and teach us with God's word are good.

Thank you Jesus for all the dear brothers and sisters in Christ that you have given Georgia and I! Thank you for your spirit that allows us to spend and be spent for others. Thank you for your perfect design- The church- your bride- The body of Christ!
