                                                                 that they are to stand on their parents and Chief and
                                                                 Tinnie’s shoulders and go further and deeper with God.
                                                                 Join me! Let’s not be like Hezekiah to the generations
                                                                 coming after us. Truly, one of the greatest joys is to run with
                                                                 the chariots as far as we can, forging an adventurous path
                                                                 with God for others, for our kids!





                                           immediately a
                                           thought gently blew
                                           across my heart that
                                           I now recognize as
                                           God speaking to
                                           me. “Exactly. ‘IT.’
                                           You have searched
                                           the scriptures and
                                           not found Me but
             rather tried to reduce Me to an “it,” a formula which is not
             a relationship!” I sat on the curb and cried. I laid all the
             promises I had received at His feet. Then like Solomon,
             with a repentant heart, I asked for two promises.

             First, I want to hear “well done.” I want to fulfill all that my
             identity is in Christ, nothing lacking, nothing missing.
             Second, I asked that all our generations, extending from
             Randy and me, that every person, would not be a “good”
             Christian but a passionate lover and follower of Christ. A
             question echoed in my heart, “No matter what?” I paused.   COUNTY ROAD 1440                         COUNTY ROAD 1500
             I thought, “What matters most?” Then I answered. “Yes,
             no matter what!” Unlike Hezekiah, I want to see how God
             sees–with an eternal perspective and all my children living
             wildly in the love of God, completely His.
             Today, I am a grandma (Tinnie) and Randy is ‘Chief’ to
             two little gifts from God. Just the thought of them makes      CONTACT US
             me smile. I know, as their “Tinnie,” no one can pray for
             them like me, no one can tell them stories of God moving
             through our family like me. I repeatedly speak over them
