A Bit About Us

                                                         

"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)

We are ordinary people with extraordinary dreams. We believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. We love spending time with our families, camping, hunting, fishing, four~wheeling, going to the beach, being outdoors and traveling.

We bloom where we are planted, enjoying what God has blessed us with. Loving family. Great health. Working from home. The opportunity to travel when we want.

We have dreams, goals and desires. There is never a point in our lives when we’re suppose to quit dreaming (Psalm 37:4). We choose to enjoy a life of freedom, a life filled with good health, vibrant relationships, financial peace and exceeding joy, blessing and encouraging others with the love of God.

Investing in the lives of others is what we are truly all about. Making decisions that will produce a harvest of blessing and freedom in our lives and the lives of others.

We are passionate about you and your family’s health and well being too.

We are actively involved in missions and have been blessed to be able to travel to the Philippines, Hong Kong, China and Mexico as well as in the United States.

We have been involved in the prison ministry since 1999, and truly enjoy witnessing the lives of an inmate being transformed.

We are to live in anticipation of what God is doing, cultivate a NEW DEPTH of relationship with Him so we can experience a WHOLE NEW level of expectation!!!

When the treasure within us starts rising up, the rubbish is thrown out!!!

His love is broad enough to cover EVERYTHING in our lives, it's long enough to last FOREVER, high enough to enable us to touch heaven and deep enough to redeem anything and anyone!! (Eph. 3:14-21)

We want to experience ALL THE FULLNESS of God and to experience the fullness of God we have to experience the fullness of life.

                       We enjoy simple living with luxury.

With the economy the way it is, we are very blessed to have our house, vehicles and recreational toys paid for, we have the freedom to travel, and work from wherever we are.

Larry fishes and hunts, providing meat for our table that is not injected with hormones or preservatives. I can, freeze and dehydrate his catches, fresh fruits and vegetables that have not been sprayed with pesticides.

I had some health issues due to a blood transfusion in which I had to take drastic measures concerning my health or I could put it in the hands of the medical profession, who seem to want to prescribe you pills, potions or injections. My option...natural remedies or chemically induced remedies.

Doctors  told me that it would be impossible to restore my health without the chemicals they wanted me to use. I said, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. There is NOTHING is impossible with God.

My journey begin and continues to this day...No, it has not been an easy one and still at times is hard to do, taking much discilpine.

Choosing natural remedies, which meant that I had to change the things I was putting into my body. I started eating better foods, (organic and more fresh) exercising, doing cleanses, drinking herbal drinks and teas, taking supplements.

On our simple budget, with no medical insurance, we make sure we get the maximum benefits from our supplements. We can't waste our money flushing vitamins down the toilet...We want full absorption. And Biometics gives us that.

Biometics offers Emusol® Micellization process, which effectively delivers essential nutrients to the body by converting the hard to absorb fat~soluble nutrients into water~soluble particles.

In a water~soluble Emusol® Micellization liquid form, the human body's absorption rate of nutrient is 3~5 times faster than standard pills. This means more of what we take goes directly into your cells, instead of being wasted in digestion.

Is there something your afraid of? Me too. I'm afraid of missing the mark where my life and health are concerned. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment that you have been given.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." (3 John 2)                                       

                                        Necessity or Luxury?

And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. (Mark 4:18-19)

 

The crowd that followed Jesus to the lakeside was so large that He had to get into the boat on the lake, and as the Gospel writer records, “There He sat, with the whole crowd on the beach right down to the water’s edge.” Many in that crowd earned their livelihood by sowing and reaping, so they could well envision the parable.

 

What were the worldly cares and false glamour of wealth in that day, we wonder. Surely according to our standards, we would have considered them minimal. No indoor plumbing, no car (very few had even a donkey), no TV, no boat, and no snowmobile.

 

We need to take inventory of our possessions. Which are necessities? Next time we go shopping, we would do well to pause and hear the Lord say, “Do we really need that?”

 

                             Take inventory! Keep life simple!

 

My home is filled with things I don’t really need, Lord, and yet I go out and buy more. I haven’t even cupboard space enough. Help me not to get caught up in the rash of compulsive buying. Weed out the thistles that would choke out the word! Amen & Amen!

 

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come!" (1Corinthians 5:17)

 

                             To Receive A New Life In Christ

 

YOU MUST admit that you are a sinner. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

 

YOU MUST repent of your sin. Repentance means turning away from your sinful way of life. "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out." (Acts 3:19)

 

YOU MUST believe that when Christ died and rose again, He did it to save you from your sins and give you eternal life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

 

YOU MUST receive Christ by faith and become part of the family of God. "Yet to all who receive Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become childen of God." (John 1:12)

 

YOU MUST surrender your whole life to Jesus Christ as your Lord, follow and serve Him with all your heart. "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow Me." (Matthew 16:24)

 

YOU MUST be prepared to acknowledge to others that Jesus Christ is now your Lord. "Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33)

 

The face of heaven begins in our hearts...

 

                                        A personal prayer... 

 

Heavenly Father,  have mercy on me a sinner. I cannot help myself. I need a Savior. I come and ask You to forgive all of my sins now, so I can be Born Again and spend eternity in heaven with You. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead and I now confess with my mouth that "Jesus is Lord."

Thank You Father, for my salvation. I believe that I'm Born Again and saved and a child of God. In the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord, I pray. Amen and Amen.

 

To maintain a new life in Christ you need to get a Bible and begin reading it daily. As food is for the body so God's Word is necessary for spiritual growth. "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)

 

Now that God is your Father you need to spend time with Him in prayer. This involves listening as well as speaking. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

(Philippians 4:6)

 

It's important for you to attend a fellowship or church where Jesus Christ is exalted and the Holy Spirit is free to move. "Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good deeds, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as in the manner of some, but let us encourage one another." (Hebrews 10:24-25)

 

Living the Christian life is not always easy. Problems come in the form of opposition from family or friends. "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brothers in the world." (1 Peter 5:8-9)

 

If we fall into temptation we should not be discouraged but turn to God for help. :If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
