This is my first entry. I am the third Yahweh sister, one of the cords from a strand that is not easily broken. One of my " New Years resolutions" is to read the bible through. Already behind, I race to get caught up. God gently says to me, "slow down and hear what I have to say". How often do we get on our knees and cry out to God, begging Him to speak to us and to show us the way. Then we wait, going on with our frustrated and busy lives, but still not truly listening. God's answers and all the help we need are in His word. Are we taking the time to spend time with Him in His word? As said in one of my daily bible readings, " It is not life and its difficulties you have to conquer, only the self in you." Wow, how true. Often God has answered our prayers and has forgiven our sins, but it is us, our flesh, that will hold on to something. Today lets move on. Once we pray for forgiveness or lay our burdens at the cross.. Get up and go. Read your bible daily, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with christian friends and family. Spend time with Him. Have you ever had a problem or something exciting to share? You call everyone you know and the phone is busy or they will not pick up the phone. I know when this happens to me I get mad or pout, "why can't my friends be there for me?". And then my heart softens as I hear God saying to me, "child I'm here. I want to know you and what makes you sad or happy. I am here for you". When you feel all alone, please know that you are not. God is there and believe it or not he wants our companionship. He loves us, unconditionally. Reach out to him today. I am. Right now. Father God, thank you for being there for me and allowing your son to die on the cross for me. I am important to you. I will go now and serve you. Keep me strong and focused on you. Amen.

Good morning. As this day begins, I pray for God's abundance of joy to overflow in your heart today. Whatever it is that you face, face it with the understanding that God's grace IS sufficient for what you will face today. It is new every morning. Study God's word today with a fresh eye on what it is He wants to teach you. Learn about God's love and mercy, His strength when you are weak, His call for your life. Ask God today to show you SOMETHING as you earnestly SEEK His face. Do not seek what God can do for you, but what you will do for Him. Seek His face and not His hands. Fasting and prayer time will bring you closer to the heart of God. You will begin to experience things and see things in a new way. Dare yourself to step out into the unknown life that God has for you. You WILL be blessed. God has so much for us to do; yet, we sit in our boxes of "home" and comfort not wanting to venture out into the unknown, the uncomfortable. Beloved one, God may have more joy for you in the uncomfortable places. Step out and see. Seek Him for His guidance today in what it is He has for your life, and be open. Open up your heart to a new season with the Lord. You will begin to hear from God and feel His joy overflowing, and excitement will show on your face, and then you will know that God is moving within your heart.

Wow, I just wanted to write a quick prayer for joy in your life today, but I pray that someone needed this today.

Be open today.

Humble Pie.....

Wow, as I reflect on my life, I truly want it to please God, my Father. I am so unworthy of His presence that He so amazingly gives to me and to you as his children. I am reflecting lately on what it is I have been created for. It is like I want it to be something so big, and my Father is simply saying THIS is big (and I will explain in a minute what THIS is). If you save one child, if you comfort one person-that is so big. Have you ever wondered what is your purpose here on Earth? It is to be a Servant to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. SERVANT!!!! Why does this one little word create so much controversy? We are here to serve one another. We don't own anything - your money, your home, your job - it is all God's. Why are we so selfish and want to feed the flesh? Our flesh is so strong. The flesh and the spirit cannot co-habitat with one another. One will bow down to the other. When the bible teaches us to die to the flesh daily it is a CHOICE that we have to make.
So, this is the THIS:
For several years now I have had the opportunity through my church to bring a child from Belarus into my home during the summer. I am able to give this child things she never even knew existed (a warm bath, food 3 times a day, dental and medical visits, and so much more). It has become harder on my family because of the age of the child and the age of my children (a house of 4 girls from ages 9-14 last year can be a little crazy). Besides that, the financial demands for bringing her to the states has been a constant stressor in our minds the past few months. One of the ladies that helps head this ministry up just returned from a visit there, and called to inform me of the situation she was faced with while there. What I thought it was like....it wasn't...not even close. My heart broke today as I heard and saw pictures of how this child, MY child now, lives. And, I had the thought of "I'm not sure how I am going to do it this year. I'm not sure if we can do it this year." As I mentioned before, God sometimes shows us the small things that matter more to Him than the big things do at times. God has already placed this ministry in my heart and I cannot let it go to fulfill bigger ones. I have to believe that God will make a way where there seems no way. My God will provide.
Many days I have found myself wanting to know what would it be like to fall hopelessly in love with God. Today I feel I am one step closer to falling in that direction. Help me Jesus. I want to fall ... Lord I am wanting to find you and know you intimately. I want that Lord...I want it even if this Yahweh ministry never grows to anything more than what it is right now. Lord let it be your will. Let me be your hands and your feet on this Earth to work and do as you need me. Use me Father for your Glory and for your Kingdom. Let your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven in my life Lord.
Praise you father...
Thank you Father for humbling me today and making my path clearer and forgiving me.
Blessings,
Robbie

As I work so diligently on this site, I reflect back on what all God has worked on in my own life. I go here and there to different websites, other's blog sites, picking backgrounds and extras to adorn our site (with my friend on the phone at the same time). I spend hours on this simple site and for what? Who will see it? Who will read it? Will they even notice the extras or care what the background looks like? God works on us daily. He molds us, teaches us, disciplines us, and picks different backgrounds to place us in the middle of, and how do we look there? What do people say when they read our "words"? Do they even notice the background we are in? Or do they see the very middle where the beauty of the whole page is truly written? Our site doesn't have to be the best; yet, we spend time on it just as God has spent time on us. We've prepared it for others to look at in hopes of someone's life being changed by it, just as God prepares us to go out into the world and preach His word in hopes of changing just one life....if just ONE life can be changed by what we do here. Women, I love the Lord with all of my heart, mind, body, and soul. Could I do more? Absolutely, I'm not perfect. But, I am forgiven and I am continuing to be molded and worked on. God will make you beautiful in HIS eyes to show to the world, even if the background around you doesn't always seem to be the "right" one. Let God change you, mold you, move you from one place to another, and see where you end up and what you end up looking like. You may be suprised. God bless you today.

God has found three women who love him uncondtionally and who have found friendship in one another.
We started out trying to find more of him in any way possible....reading, praise, bible studies,etc. There came a time in our walk with the Father where He turned the pouring into around and began to use us as the vessel to pour out to others. This is how Yahweh Sisters Ministries began.
We are simply three women who have a heart to serve him. After leading a bible study we decided that we needed to do more. We do not have any training from a bible school, we do not claim to know everything, and in fact we do not know half of it. We have our struggles just as many of you do in everyday life. We have children, husbands, jobs, and lifestyles that pull us in all directions just as you may. But the burning desire to reach out and be used by the Father forms us into the Yahweh Sisters.
When we first started talking about what it was we could do, God took us to a scripture..."Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12
When a braid of hair is woven together it becomes very strong. When the braid is apart the strands are weak but when you weave them into one braid, it gains strength. The Yahweh Sisters are the same. We are from three different backgrounds, different denominations, and with different callings on our lives, but God has weaved us together to form a braid that is stronger when we are together. We work together, using our gifts to glorify the Father. Each one of us has a different burden, calling, and gift, but the Father has brought us together for a reason, and we pray that the Yahweh Sisters Ministries will come together for that reason. FOR HIM.
We are willing to go wherever the Father takes us. As we continue in the ministry, you will come to know each one of us personally. May God bless you as we go forward with the Father.

So, this is our first night on our new blog for the Yahweh Sisters Ministries. WOW. We have a lot of work to do on here and for the Kingdom, but Praise God that we are moving forward. Yahweh Sisters Minstries has been birthed and in the works for about 1 year now. What God will do with our ministry this year is somewhat unknown at this time but we do know that God WILL do something. Tonight, I sit here and look at the work my sister in Christ has done to this blog and other stuff in our ministry birthing and I am in awe of how God brings things together in His timing. The beauty of it all makes sense in those moments and sometimes those moments only last for a second, but that beauty at that moment is breathtaking and precious. There are three of us in this ministry (as you will read about under ABOUT ME) and we will all periodically add things God has layed on our hearts at different times. Our purpose through this ministry is to Glorify God and to Serve God by and through Serving Women here on earth. That serving may come through prayer, words of encouragement, bible studies, and other ways, but however God wants to use us for that purpose we are open and willing to do for Him. We have a lot of work to do and I pray that you find encouragement through this blog. Let God move this coming year.
