Nor detest His correction;

Just as a father the son in whom he delights.” Proverbs 3:11-12

Update & Prayer Request from Lara
Hi everyone,
Seems it’s been a while since I checked in to let you all know what I’m up to in New York City where I arrived at the end of April 2018 as my third stop out on the road for the Lord and ministry. I’m now fully settled into my little apartment with the ministry’s five handicapped & senior rescued dogs. The warm weather has brought with it endless opportunities to walk the streets with and without the dogs as I praise the Lord, pray to Him, love Him, worship Him, sing to Him, seek...

The Overflowing Glass
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.” Psalm 23:5-6
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thess. 5:16-18
Totally exhausted, in much need of rest, I figured I’d hurry through changing the male belly band diaper on paralyzed d...
Are You an Inspiration?
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
One day my ex-husband told me I’m an inspiration. How could someone as messed up and broken and hopeless as I had been now be considered an inspiration to anyone let alone to the man who no matter how broken he was and how poorly he had treated me still should never have borne...

But I’m Not Like Them, Lord
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
“But I’m not like them, Lord,” I spoke in my heart to the Lord.
“I didn’t create you to be like them,” the Spirit of God essentially spoke to my heart...

Faith Alive
“Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone, and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith, that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this. For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know. For this reason,...
The Man Who Held the Doors
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Mt. 5:16
Early morning. Tired. Didn’t sleep well. Up in the middle of the night. Then woke too early. Still waking up. Trying to manoever the wheelchair dogs out the apartment building doors once again. That’s when a tall lean man entered the building and immediately started helping. He didn’t say a word. He just automatically started helping. He delayed his reason for coming into the bu...

Slow Down with those Dogs!
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisd...
