Philippians 3:12-14 - Pressing Toward the Goal 12 Not that I have already attained,[a] or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [b]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those [...]
Guess you've been wondering about our latest "adventure..." It was a bit "under the radar" and for good reason. It was our first invitation to this international conference - one held just every three years - to, again, (Thank you, Lord!) be a voice for the children. It was an "again" for us but a [...]
ENI/WSC was delighted and privileged last year to be asked to collaborate with Kathleen Trock (Pebbles & Stones) to add an InterGenerational "helps" page to the Pray for the 31 - Prayer Guide recently updated and released by The Joshua Project. These are prayers for the Frontier People Groups...the least evangelized of the Unreached People [...]
We did it! The Nation Christian Academy of Port St. Lucie, Florida definitely "caught the vision" for World Shapers Club for the 2018-2019 school year! Our own WSC Ambassador, Sonia Morley introduced WSC to 5th Grade teacher, Kathy Gilmore and, the rest is - as "they" say - HISTORY! Not only has the [...]
Every year people prepare their New Year’s resolutions; unless they write them down somewhere most cannot remember exactly what they’d decided. At least, that’s what would happen to me. Like everybody else, when the year is about to end, I would look back and try to remember the positive and negative things I did. I’d start to [...]
I recently spoke at a ladies’ luncheon on the subject, “Well-Dressed Feet; Paths of Praise and Prayer.” As you might imagine, it stimulated a lot of thought. At the close, I arranged for everyone’s feet to be anointed with oil; one foot with “Praise”, the other with “Prayer” in order to maintain a “well-balanced” spiritual [...]
After a rather heated discourse late one evening some years ago with a close family member, this question was shouted at me in great frustration, "Don't you want your children to be happy?" ZING! POW! GOTCHA! OUCH! Wisely, the Holy Spirit led me to diffuse the situation and not respond to the query at that [...]
Luke 2:10-14 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and [...]
"THANKS!" for your encouragement, prayers and giving. It has been a tremendously rewarding year as we have seen God grow World Shapers and open doors for ministry in new and not-so-new places around the globe. Mary has traveled. Esther has ministered locally. Our family of FB friends has grown and the number of those "catching [...]
Discerning Your Own Spirit While I was in some heated intercession recently, the Holy Spirit startled me with this gentle rebuke: “Esther, discern your own spirit.” I had been watching and listening to some really horrific news and got all worked up about it. I should have known better but, honestly, I didn’t realize until [...]
