Psalm 57:5

The day was windy, and rainy and cold.
The view was beautiful.
The waters were rough and it was a praiseworthy moment.

For those who know Carmen:
ttps://www.facebook.com/CarmanLicciardello and his ministry this is a hard diagnosis. 
God has used his skill of singing and story telling all over the nation and now he needs our support.
Pray for him to have good doctors. 
To have a good mindset and not let this get the best of him.
We know that Heaven is our final destination and we also know it is our ‘home’ we just don’t always know how we will arrive there.

May he sing and minister with every ounce of energy he has till he no longer can do it. 

I have delayed writing this but those of you I call friends and supporters, who have prayed for me and this ministry need to know about this new battle that lies ahead. One week ago I was diagnosed with Myeloma Cancer. It is incurable and I’ve been given a 3-4 year window of time. Tomorrow I go in for my first bone biopsy and the process will start. I used to go to movies in the afternoon, now I go see doctors. I write these things for a few reasons. First, I want to put an end to all the rumors. Second, I ask for your prayers. And 3rd, I want you all to know that I will continue to minister and win souls until I can’t do it any longer. My life has always been about ministry. I have a call of God to touch lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ and that’s what I will do until the Lord calls me home. Please, do not allow this facebook site to be an ongoing blog for cancer treatment remedy’s. That would be depressing to everyone. If you have any insight you can message me personally. But I want to encourage you, if you can, to please come see me the next time I’m in your area. Bring someone who doesn’t know the Lord or who needs to be healed. I will always pray for the sick and I’m also going to step up the intensity of my message at these events. I will not leave this world quietly and I want the devil to know that he put cancer on absolutely the wrong Italian. I have a few good years and before it’s too late I want to see your faces, shake your hands and hug your necks. But mostly I want to see one of you get healed of what threatens your future and I really want to see someone you love come to Christ. Now lets get back to business, we have to work while its day for soon the night comes.
I love you all -C

Church in Woodburn, Oregon 
original stained glass
Reminding us that the cross is all we need.

So here I am in the place of worship,

eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I will bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

Happy Birthday

by | Feb 14, 2013 | Uncategorized

Over nine years ago my daughter called me at work and said.
“Mom are you sitting down?”

I remember asking her why I should be and
she told me she was expecting not one but two babies. 
I could not believe it.

Our miracle babies were born the day before Valentines day 2004. 
Two little hearts beating together.
Two little identical girls one weighed 4.6 and the other weighed 4.10 both 18 inches long.
Hannah got to stay in the room with mommy while Alexis had to spend some time in the neonatal room.
Our angel babies
At their baby shower
sleeping at the baby shower
One year old

They have been totally fun to watch.
I remember the day at our house they hugged and hugged each other and said to me,
“grandma we are likey’s”. Yes little ones you will always be… likeys’.
Today they are nine.
Happy birthday little likey girls.
You are a joy to be around.
I remember we were talking on Sunday when I gave them their birthday presents.
The topic was about college and Hannah said,
“when I go to college I am not going to room with her. All my life I have spent with her and I need a change.”
I just laughed and laughed. All your life… A whole nine years.
It has been a comedy over and over to see the two of them play and grow.
We love them and we are so blessed to have our miracle babies.
Happy Birthday Hannah and Alexis praying  your day is wonderful.

Reminding me

by | Feb 11, 2013 | Uncategorized

An old Oak tree in the snow on a Christmas tree farm in Oregon.
Reminding me of the parched places in our heart
when the coldness of our soul sometimes stays near to us too long.
Then slowly and steadily like this tree in the spring
new life comes to the surface and the
leaves abound in beauty and the
glory of the magnificent tree is evident to all who look and see.
Lord give us strength to know that sometimes the barren feelings are not always
going to stay ~
help us to be patient and wait with joy
for the newness of spring to arrive so we can smile again.
