Great Day of KICKS Club taping!

Today we taped a lot of footage for KICKS Club. We went to the conservatory to tape the once a year butterflies. I love the first Butterfly show we completed. We were so blessed at that taping with the blue butterflies and Elmer being able to get so close to them! Today they didn't have many blue ones yet, we were able to get some great shots and... We were able to complete the rest of the conserv. and get some great shots with KICKS Club's kids.

You know, I love what I do, I love bringing things to kids like this. I love the opportunity to produce great programs for kids to see and hear, learn and know what the Lord has done for them, especially the creation that He has made. If you bring out these things to them they will gather and learn all that they can. I call it "absorbing". Your kids, all kids are always absorbing everything around them. They are like sponges drawing in the things around them that are a part of their lives.

In Matthew 19 Jesus said to come to Him as the children. Well, there is so much to that scripture - but today I want to say that we should be like children and "ABSORB" everything of God, Jesus, the Christ (the anointing and the Anointed One- Jesus). Receiving all that He has to offer us, then offering all those things to our children; giving them the same opportunity to "absorb" the things of God.

Absorb all His promises and gifts He has for each of us found in His word. Absorb His speaking, His leading, His direction, His ways, His person, His presence! Absorb all of God by putting everything about Him and of Him around you and your family. Speak the word, sing His praise, watch faith television programs, watch KICKS Club, KidWise, and all those others who love His ways and preach it. Read His word and teach it to your children. Put on praise music, and talk and love, and share with each other all of "HIM". Absorb His gifts He has in you for your family and give those gifts away and let others absorb from them too!

And remember... Your children are absorbing everything around them! They are looking to you and all that you put on the table before them, so to speak. So put your children in an atmosphere that you want them to absorb. Be an example and fill your lives with the great things of God and not what the world has to offer. There is so much of God to absorb and the devil makes it opportune for your kids to absorb junk from TV, movies, school, radio, much media, and the wrong friends. So today, be aware of the atmosphere your kids are in, what they are absorbing and be a sponge to absorb the things of God and let Him pour out of you those "Great" things of God and family for your kids to gather around them, and absorb themselves! Your lives will be blessed by that commitment - the commitment in going after the things of God in everyday living!

God's richest in all that you do,

Why did I answer the call?: "God's provision for His kids!"

Why did I answer the call to families? Well first and foremost, I found reaching kids and families is a blessing and a God design! It is so important to the Lord and He made it clear to me in His word that He has included provision for kids as well as families. Lots of times we only see it for adults and individuals. We find this message of that provision in Genesis 22. A story so many are aware of and often misunderstand. The story of Abraham and Isaac as Isaac was offered to God as a sacrifice!

1st, God requires us to see that He sees children as a gift from Him and an offering into His care from us. In Genesis 22:1 we find Abraham and Isaac's story. Whenever you see an offering given you must know and see that there is a plan for increase and harvest. Here we find that God wants to increase and bring harvest to kids as we offer them to the Lord and teach them his ways. Whether you work with kids, are a family with one or more kids, or don't even feel called to minister to them at all, you can touch a child's life through those God has called and reap a harvest for them and for yourself as Abraham did. Remember, that provision came to Abraham in conjunction with a kid!

2ndly, We find Abraham and Isaac at Mt. Moriah, we're God's Son was given for His increase and His offering of us- the children of God! That Son was Jesus! He wants to bring increase and harvest to our lives individually and He loved us so much He gave Himself for us, He gave His very own blood through Jesus that we would be bought with a rich price. So many can see in Abraham and Isaac's story the sacrifice required of the father but... do they see the sacrifice of the Son? That story goes on!

3rdly, We find that beginning in Genesis 22:13 how that story goes on and brings to light that this place Abraham brought Isaac was called the place of Jehovah Jireh. The Lord our provider, of all things, nothing missing and nothing broken in our lives! How powerful that we can see in these verses that when Abraham was offering up his son, God made a provision! Jehovah Jireh made a provision for the kid! That provision wasn't just for Abraham! NO WAY! Can you imagine how excited and how much joy Isaac felt that God was with him, and for him, and made a provision "for him" too? He was the one facing the biggest loss! God made a provision for him as a child! God has made a provision for His kids and for those who are ministering to His kids. That's RICH! God has made a provision for families.

Do you know the extent of that? If you really see then you can understand that God has made provision for you to minister to kids and as parents to pay for anything your kids need! Even college tuitions, clothes, food, your home, EVERYTHING! For me, that also means camera's, beta tapes, production centers, props, supplies, television time, on and on and on! Personally, it even means for my adoptions and a culmination of time to take care of my kids and do the ministry! God makes it clear that kids overflow provisions are meet in His plan and He is in the business of meeting all their needs.

Ministries, families, people called to reach kids need to realize that there is provision for kids that hasn't even been released in this earth in the magnitude that God has planned and designed! I have put myself in the position to receive that and for God's kids to receive a blessing through me that belongs to them! Just as Abraham did for Isaac. I offer up every child and family we reach as an offering to the Lord for His blessing of Jehovah Jireh to touch their lives. He has provide Jesus and all that He has promised through the sacrifice of His son. As we in this ministry offer up by faith and our obedience to the call He has placed on our lives to reach kids, He will provide for us, and He will provide for them all that He is and all that He has. I can expect great prosperity to fulfill God's dream through Jesus Christ in reaching the kids of this world!!!

That's the biggest reason why I have answered the call.

"This morning-"

Today is Monday. I am thinking about what shows we are taping and what the direction the Lord has for this day. His direction is divine!

Psalm 19:1-2 , says, that "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shew his handywork." That, "Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge."

God's word remains established and as the sun is in its sockets and as the stars are in the night sky, they show the power of His word. For they remain. God spoke and the sun was, He spoke and the stars became, and He named them!

In our life it is the same. As sure as the sun is in its sockets to remain, which came from the spoken word of God, His word and promises remain for and to us!

Afterall, Psalm 19:34 tells us,

"There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun."

His word sets itself as a tabernacle for all the blessings in your life! Dwell there just as sure as the sun dwells in the tabernacle of the spoken word of God in creation and still stays there today, established and faithful.

There is no place the voice of God's creation is not heard nor seen as the sun shines His message. It's as if He has spoken and has said through the sun and th stars, "I have spoken, and so let it be established in the heavens and earth for you! Only Believe in MY Word and see it in this day I have made through my love, just for you! Dwell in the tabernacle of My word for you, and your life as the heaven's, will declare My glory!"

"The heavens delcare the glory of the Lord" for each and everyone of our lives! The glory of His established word is it witnessed in everyday for us so that we may stand and experience it for ourselves." That we may believe in all that He has said and recieve His promises and His goodness for our lives!

The glory is here! An outpouring of His glory is coming soon. We have the heaven's to declare it!©

love ya-

Excerpt from "Adoption, an Experience Worth Living" by Kim Robinson

"The learning process is the unique way to adopt. As you experience adoption, this will be one of your greatest experiences. Sometimes you will not know why you are experiencing the things you are experiencing. Why you are reacting the way you are. Why you are thinking the way you are thinking, and why you are doing the things you are doing. Yet the good news is this, "You will wake up the next day and discover it doesn't matter because you learned through yesterday's experience and are a better person and will be a better parent for it."

Experience is the greatest opportunity to become all that you are meant to be. Just ask someone who has mastered college and education in a field. Expertise didn't come from the education, that's where it began. Experience birthed expertise. Through that experience you have the opportunity to apply all that you have obtained and then found you have learned to face the greatest opportunity of all; to find humility and its character revealing to you that you have more to learn, which makes you better and smarter. That in itself speaks of parenthood and adoption. Through this understanding you can come to find that your perfection isn't what adoption agencies are looking for. They are looking for your desire to love a child and your willingness to face an 'experience' that you have never faced before with openness while looking into the lives of others who may be very different from you in their thinking and understanding. This describes and paints a picture of adoption in the lives of all, whether it be through national adoption or international adoption."©
