I deleted the last 2 posts because they were taken wrong by some people. I was trying to say how when we do things we should do them to the best of our ability and as if we are doing it for the Lord.
I used the example of the quilts and how the one lady said it didn't matter what they looked like. Several were not sewn good and came apart. The hem on one was really bad looking. The reason I used this as an example is because she professes to be a Christian and knew where these quilts were going as a ministry to the kids. She is an excellant sewer. She has been sewing all her life. That is why she said she would do them. So it wasn't like she wasn't able or didn't know what she was doing. She just cut corners to get them done. I am just glad they fell apart BEFORE I sent them to Haiti.
I hope this clears up what I was trying to say. Sorry if I offended anyone or caused you to think you have to be perfect to minister to others. It mainly was the comment that it didn't mater what they looked like if the kids needed them they should be glad to get them.
Have a great day.

Listen
I am the kind of person who listens alot to people and what they say. When my boys would bring home their girlfriends, they would think I was a stuck up person because I never talked much. Now they can't get me to shut up!! If you really listen to what as person is saying, you find out a whole lot about them. Especially their character traits. This is usually done in a very short time too.
I love my quiet time. I listen to the quiet. Some people have to have "noise" around them like TV or a radio or even people. I don't. When I am home alone, I don' have anything on most of the time. The quiet is even way to noisy for me.
The last few days, I have been listening to God. He put on my heart to reread a book by Kim Clement called, "Call me Crazy,but I'm Hearing God". It is a book on how to hear God's voice. The main thing is to just listen! Most people don't do that. It takes being still and people get really uncomfortable with just that part. He stated that God is always talking, we just aren't listening. Oh, how true.
God gave me a vision on Sept. 2, 2001 at 10am, in my camper, at Westwood Campground in New Castle, Ind. I never will forget it. He gave me some specifics along with it. I sat and wrote everything down as He told me. Even the scriptures to go along with it. When I began to share what God had said to me with others, most thought I was crazy and they laughed at me. It is a huge vision. One I can never accomplish on my own. I did try to bring it to pass right after that and fell on my face! I have never doubted that this vision would come to pass one day. I have continually spoke it to people that this will come to pass and they just look at me like "Yeah, right". It has been over 7 years now. I have always prayed about it believing in God's time, it will happen. Just because I KNOW what God showed me and said that morning.
Yesterday as I was praying, I heard the voice of God clearly. He said that it is time for the Isaiah 61 Outreach Center. I began to shake all over and cry. This is the vision He showed me that day. The building is still there and it is still vacant. It was sold to a vet in an auction and he never did anything with it. I have always said it was waiting for me. Right after God gave me the vision, a few of us went there and prayed over it, around it, in every room and anointed it all with oil. I knew it was going to be for Isaiah 61 then, as sure as I do now.
I am so excited to see what God is going to do next. One thing I have learned over the last 7yrs. is to stand back and let God do it. It is way to big for me to do anyway. I don't even know where to start.
I am so glad that I was listening.
Have a great day!
