Holidays.....

My sweet beautiful husband!!! We have been married for 17 years this summer.. I truly married my soul mate... I love you more than words can describe... Thank you for all you do for me and the girls.. And for all your support as I leave on Tuesday for Israel..... We are the luckiest girls in the world........

Truly one of my BEST FRIENDS in the world; my precious sister-n-law!!!! She is a gift from God. My brother is such a blessed man.. She is the behind the scenes kind of person not wanting credit for anything... It is because of her that Yahweh Sisters had an amazing first speaking engagement... She worked for months making sure that everything was perfect so I could pray and study for the luncheon!!! We joke that when God first laid the Yahweh Sisters ministries on our hearts we asked Steve my brother to help behind the scenes ect. We have since FIRED him and HIRED Jenni....lol... Love you Steve... He does check my blog on occasion...lol  

My beautiful daughter who will be sixteen this March... Pray for me please.....lol    She is amazing and turning into the most amazing young lady.....

This is Gracie my middle daughter; who is my dream catcher and my spiritual child........ She and Sean just got back from a church retreat where she said she realized how much she was not living her life for God.... Praise God....

My sweet youngest child is in the multi-colored sweater; she is truly the giver of the family... Such a beautiful heart.. the two little ones are my brother and Jenni's... PRECIOUS... they drove up from Florida and stayed the week of Thanksgiving with us... so much to be thankful for.....

Please keep Amy and I in your prayers; we are leaving Tuesday morning for a 10 day trip to ISRAEL!!!! Please check the blog frequently... we will be blogging live from Israel... It is an exciting but stressful time.. Leaving our families behind is so hard...It is an opportunity of a lifetime to study under a believing Jewish Pastor who is leading the trip and bringing the bible alive in 3D to us... Jennifer helped make this possible... What a gift from the Father and thank you Jenn for helping make this possible for Amy and I.. We love you so much and our hearts ache because one of the Yahweh Sisters will not be there.. We are not complete without you.......

Blessings,

Robbie

Growing in Christ

Lately I have been in the "cleaning mood". Truthfully I did not know that term existed. Between getting ready for my Israel trip and Christmas, I feel a great need to clean and get rid of "stuff". How can one family have so much stuff- most of it is useless junk.  Like for example- candles with not even enough candle to burn for 30 minutes. Or sunscreen that has one spray left. I don't know why, but I save everything. Not anymore- I'm on a mission. If you let God work through everything you do, you can learn a lesson, or have a revelation. Since I save everything, I was looking through some of the kids old papers. I smiled as I saw them grow from page to page. Each year they write better, use more adjectives, and just grow intellectually. Then I came to a journal given to me by a special friend. I turned to today's date, I must have started a year ago today. For the next several pages I read full pages of writing. Each month had less and less writing, but as I read I realized that less was more. Instead of moaning and groaning to Christ, I simply wrote- guide me today. Let others see you living in me through my words and actions. Wow- we are like a child growing. The more we study and meditate on God's word, the more we learn and grow. So right now I am burning those final  minutes of my candles before I throw them out, but I just want to thank God for teaching me and showing me the way. All we have to do is ask. Seek and you will find. Ask and it will be given to you. And usually not right away, but when we need it. Prayers I that have been praying for years are being answered. And it sure means more now that it would have then. Be patient while God works in your life. But also observe how you are growing. Are you becoming more bold in your faith? Is your tolerance to sin becoming shorter?- I pray that is so. I am tired of being silent when I know something is wrong. I am now starting to speak out. Be strong in your faith and keep growing in Christ.
Become someone that God can use and will use for his kingdom.
Love in Christ:
Amy

This is one of the loves of my life!!!!!! Who could resist that precious face..............................................

Some of the trees around our house......

Praying for each women reading this blog to find a quiet place,  a sanctuary of stillness to sit alone and spend time with God.....just to thank him.... He who has given us so much........

Alien.......................

As school marches on for me (seminary)  I am amazed at how little I know of Christ.....
When you study the spiritual giants of the bible they all had one thing in common....
They lived as an alien in this world....
What is an alien?  It means:   TEMPORARY residence in a country which is foreign to you. An alien is a misfit, someone that no matter how hard they try they just can't quite fit in. A foreigner....You may blend in but you will never fit it...
This is what every one of the spiritual giants of the bible shared with a passion. They cared nothing for the spectacular, the earthly, the things of this world, success, ambition or worldly fame. They prayed not for things, not for the physical blessings, not to be used, not for anything of SELF....but only for a deeper understanding of the glory and greatest of the LORD...
Satan is stepping it up a notch...He knows his time is drawing near.... He is displaying more and more power and hell is unleashing its fury on this generation. The enemies strongholds are stronger and more powerful than in any other past generations. We are allowing Satan to hold us in bondage....even after the work on the cross......
 Satan is showing himself to the world in these latter days. He is even becoming better known and less feared....but more importantly he is becoming more and more accepted.....
It is not enough to know God...even the demons know God is real and that he exists. We have to seek God with all our hearts and all our minds.... We need a new revelation of who God is to survive in these latter days. Even the spiritually elect will be deceived. Being busy in this world with worldly things is exactly Satan's plan........... to pre-occupy our time so there is no time to sit down and spend time in God's word... You will  get to know him only by sitting at his table, hearing his voice, and waiting...waiting on His divine wisdom...to come knocking at your door. We have the greatest mentors in the bible to give us the examples to live by.. Paul was committed... I challenge you to ask yourself today...."HOW COMMITTED ARE YOU?" Only the Holy Spirit knows the deep and hidden secrets of God......and Paul prayed constantly for the grace to understand.....Are you praying for the grace and wisdom to understand?
      Sometimes this life can be one big disappointment...so don't get attached. People will disappoint you but God's word will always strengthen you and provide for you.. never disappointing you........God's word is nourishing..it is food that will sustain you forever... It is God's deposit in you (when He places His righteousness in you); that makes you an alien to this world...THE HOLY SPIRIT.....
People will tell you that they love you like family....and then in the next scene they will bale on you...Their capacity is not deep enough to meet YOUR needs....
We as women valve FRIENDSHIPS.... Women are naturally drawn to other women... A girl's real heartache is over the lost of a best friend more so than even the lost of a boyfriend...and when we loose that friendship that we are so dependent upon.. we grieve like it was a death in the family....... not just over the friendship itself but for the trust that was given and the acceptance that was shared. But when betrayal steps in the pain is deep causing us to react to our emotions and our feelings.. Allowing sin to take root.... causing us to re-act like we never knew God in the first place.....this is called listening to our FEELINGS... Don't trust your feelings.. They can and will create ciaos and instability...your feelings will tell you that this isn't fair what is happening to you........... your feelings will tell you that you are hurting...hurting to much....then you risk something to try and fix it because you are hurting so you react in pain, and in fear, disappointment.....all because you put your trust in a person....your torn apart heart can even lead you astray.... it is normal for your torn heart to want to PROTECT yourself....to cover up your pain with a dressing instead of allowing God to heal it..Trust in God.....not in your circumstances....or in your surrounding
    Listen to me girls.......Soooooo many women today are looking for that meaningful relationship.....You are not going to find it....You CANNOT DEPEND ON PEOPLE...... and guess what...people CANNOT DEPEND ON YOU...... You can't carry them and they can't carry you......You can't control them.... and once we accept this and put our TRUST in the one who will NEVER FAIL US.....
     God alone is the answer... The words of friends will bring no PEACE.... no COMFORT.... there is only one place that PEACE AND COMFORT can come from..... and that is Jesus...
Romans 8:6;   the mind controlled by the spirit is PEACE............give it over...to the spirit... all of your cares and all of your worries...place them at the foot of the cross... and watch... watch the spirit of God to begin to minister....to you... By faith take every thought captive unto the obedience of Christ........
When God himself steps in he will bring with him.......MERCY, GRACE, PROTECTION, DELIVERANCE, STRENGTH...................things that you never knew existed. (my middle daughter Gracie took the picture below, she loves to look up in the sky and she tells me at different times she sees God there.....)

I want you to think back to a time when God's word came alive to you...where He spoke to you personally ......and TRUST HIM.....trust God's word above everyone and everything else......Nothing else will do...
Blessings,
Robbie

When will Jesus return?

• I took a picture of this painting in The Vatican City; Actually in St. Peter's Cathedral.  When Jesus left this earth, Moses and Elijah met him in the air. Wow, could you imagine being there? Knowing Robbie and I, we would have tried to take a ride on Jesus' robe- crying, " Your not leaving without me!!!" Kinda funny, but I think that the disciples thought that Jesus would..... be right back. Before Jesus left his disciples, he told them that he had to leave- to prepare a place for them in heaven. And that he'd return soon. Every since that day Christians have been waiting. What are you doing while you wait? Are you storing up treasures in heaven? Or are you moaning and groaning about how hard this life is? This life is hard, but everything that we go through is preparing us for God's purpose.
• I have a question for you..... If you knew the exact day, exact hour, and the exact minute that Gabriel would blow his trumpet and Jesus would meet us in the air, what would you being doing different? I am a fly by the seat of my pants girl. I am usually late, and out of breath when I get there. But if I knew that Jesus was calling his children home next Tuesday at 1059 pm, would I be ready, all  my ducks in order waiting for  him, or would I wait til next Tuesday at 1055 to get on my knees and beg for mercy? In his word, Jesus assures us that he will return for us. But to be ready, cause we do not know the day or hour. We are suppose to use our time on earth living for Jesus, living like Jesus, and planting seeds for Jesus. Start today. Time is running out. Live everyday like Jesus is returning that day. I know that you'll be ready and others will see Jesus in you and want what you have.
• Get ready Jesus is coming soon!!!!!!!

PEACE......................

This is what quiets my soul from the craziness of this world....

I love for the clouds to open up with snow falling down all around me. That's when it feels like peace has shown its face. 
 I love to walk outside early in the morning before anyone is awake.  Before the craziness of life begins.   The stillness is intoxicating to me. The crispness of the air refreshing. The whiteness of the snow makes me think of God's Grace...  because of Jesus we are washed in the blood to be made as white as snow..  
I want to walk  slowly to this place of peace that was purchased by God's blood and by His body.....I want to stay there and not return to the real world... I have imagined a bridge that runs from God's world (super-natural) to the human world...If we stay to long on either side of the bridge we would be unproductive for God. There has to be a balance.   He has placed us here for such a time as this. We are that dot on the kingdom calendar...
 Peace is not a feeling it is a mindset... It was preached about and it was bought with a price......
Read: Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Don't you want to know Him like that.. The Prince of Peace...
that serenity, tranquility, that freedom from our minds of all distractions.....that stillness with silence that only He our King can give....
 Praying for your lives to be surrounded with a fire wall of His peace...
Robbie

I know that the second picture is hard to look at, but this is my second son, Joshua. In the second picture he was 6 years old. It was New Year's Eve, he was burned from a fire pit we had in the backyard roasting marsh mellows. The angel behind him was given to us by my mother in law, cause God was definitely looking out for him that night. After he was burned I was a mess, but never that night did I stop realizing that it could have been much worse. I thanked God over and over that he spared my son. God is good and what we go through in this life only makes us stronger for his kingdom. The first picture is Josh now at 9, playing football. His skin is perfect, not even one scar. You know that night was a nightmare, but the two people we had over was a fireman and a paramedic. I'm a nurse, but was worthless that night. Those friends helped put out the fire that kept Josh from being burned more severely. Remember to thank God for the miracles in our lives and pray for the safety of our families. God is in control. Pray for God to guide us daily and a better understanding of what we have to go through, so that we can be an example for others.
Blessings,
Amy

SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE..............................

At one time or another most of us have felt our lives are too busy.... We wear to many hats as moms, wives, aunts, grandmothers, sisters, etc.....

NOTHING IS BETTER THAN SIMPLICITY......

Most stressed out people can't live their life in the moment... They hold off being happy... They believe joy, contentment, and satisfaction, and peace only come once certain conditions are met......
They say: "I will be happy when.............
If you feel this way I want you to stop and close your eyes for 5 seconds and take a deep breath and realize that in that present moment, there is no stress.....
How often do we forget the present moment? How often are we somewhere.....and yet someplace else in our thoughts?  
One of the most powerful sanity secrets is to be fully present and attentive to the situation you're in....
Enjoy the moment your in....
be still and enjoy the peace that God purchased for you with His blood and His body....
In His peace,
Robbie

Relationships with our Lord

As I sat in church last Sunday waiting for the service to start, I begin to "people watch".


I watched as a beautiful young girl walked in and sat in the row in front of me. She was by herself and she sat there looking forward. The music started and I was quickly moved by the Spirit. I could feel him all around me. Everyone around me stood as we sang praises to our Lord. The girl in front of me just sat there as everyone around her stood. I of course was still enjoying the music, but was also wondering what was going on in her life. Was she sad, or going though something difficult. As the service continued everyone sat as a soloist started singing about the women who was considered unworthy to be around Jesus, much less touch the back of his garment. The girl in front of me jumped to her feet, stretched out her hands towards heaven and sang to the Lord. I was kind of blown away. I caught myself with a ugly cry face, as I licked my lips so that my mouth would close. WOW, I thought, something in that song touched her. During that song it was her and her Lord. She didn't care what anyone around her thought. Everyone has a different relationship with Jesus. That is one of the reasons that I want to know more about him. Sometimes when I talk to him, I feel him sitting right there, and other times I feel that he doesn't hear me. I talk to him day and night. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night. I am soooo tired, but I feel that Jesus wants my company. I beg him to please let me go back to sleep. Can you even imagine how much he desires a relationship with us. We pray to communicate with him and we read his word to hear from him. After the song, the beautiful young girl sat down, opened up her bible and, what I felt her doing, was laying her problems at the cross. We all face hardships and sadness, that is apart of life until we are called home. Lay your burdens at the cross and keep your eyes on Jesus.

Next Generation.......

We are called to influence the next generation.....

We are called to have spiritual children...

Did you know that we are supposed to be praying for our children's children's children?
We should be praying for them to be mighty warriors for God and praying also for their future marriages. Praying also that their faith comes to them at an early age. Praying for future pastors to come from the generations after us.

Our Faith is supposed to extend over to future generations... Isn't that amazing? Who are you going to pass your spiritual baton too?

This made me wonder today if anyone before me prayed for me? Something deep inside of me tells me "YES" they did. My great-grandmother's name was Talitha. My mom shared with me what a godly woman she was. I can't help but think that she prayed for the generations behind her (which would include me).

Praise God today for someone that could have prayed for you although they never got to see their Harvest.... God wants to stir us to do something for the up and coming generations. God is LORD OVER ALL GENERATIONS....

This holiday season I want to start with our own tradtions that can be handed down to my future generations. I will need your help on this because I do not have any tradtions that have been handed down.....

I need you to share some of your traditions!!! PLEASE POST...them. Take a risk and share!!! I don't think the Yahweh blog has had a comment in years....lol If there is something wrong with the blogging site and it want let you post please email us and let us know at yahwehsistersministries@yahoo.com

God bless you and your family during this holiday season. Let us not forget to pray for our future generations!

Robbie, Amy, and Jen
