I’ve been thinking about what to write for this months (July) blog. We just celebrated Independence Day, here in America. With all the news about politics, viruses, freedom, our future, what can I write about that hasn’t already been written? As I skim social media, I see picture and picture of people wearing masks. When I go out to the store, people are wearing masks. This is not a local phenomenon, it’s world wide. Masks. Plain, fancy, decorative, creative, stylish, masks. But it’s covering our smiles!The social distancing is keeping us humans from our basic need, touch. We’re being isolated from each other, unable to hug and greet with a…

We can’t rush God. We must pray and listen to what our next step is. This is so important. We can set goals. We can prepare. We can save. We can be about God’s business where we are at. BUT…we can not rush God. How do we know if we are self procrastinating or waiting on God? Great question. Read some of my prayer blogs and the answer can be found quickly. We need to be in a relationship with our Savior. We need to be in prayer without ceasing. We need to be worshiping the Heavenly Holy Father. We need to be in His Word. Sometimes we need to…

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 So? How’d it go? Do you have your Executive Prayer team all lined up? Do you have all of their contracts signed and in your files for your ministry? It’s okay if you don’t. I’m not there yet either. I did have a team, before I moved across country, but now I need a new team. I’m still working on this. It’s the most important step, next to knowing what God wants you to do. If you’re having problems, let me know and we can pray about…

The next step would be prayer and training. So what comes first? I’m going to say the obvious, prayer. For without prayer, how do you know what training would be best? There are so many training choices, something for everyone and for everything. So this blog will be dedicated to prayer. Of course personal prayer is what started this ministry JVR to begin with. And its prayer that has kept it alive for over 15 years, even though it seems to the human eye to be lying dormant. I can’t help but argue that case. Though JVR has taken a quiet sideline, I truly don’t believe it’s been lying dormant.…

To start this ministry I needed to come up with a plan. Below is a summary of JVR as a whole. Yours can be similar or completely different. The main thing is to pray for Gods direction and listen to Him. There are so many helpful services out in the community already. Check your churches, community centers, libraries. A word of caution, be thorough in your investigation. Trust is so important and the one thing that can sink a ministry before it starts is lack of integrity and trust. Be sure you would use the services/tools yourself. Check  out this site, CWJC. This is were I started my training, and they…

My first Novel is now published and in bookstores and available online, both in paperback and electronic. I’m in the process of sending my second Novel, the book written about JVR to be published. I estimate this book should be in bookstores next year at this time. I have dedicated all profits from these books to go towards the JVR ministry. Check out The Story of a Teenage Dyslexic! While searching my files on JVR I came across the below blogs I wrote in 2011:

Isn’t it exciting when God talks to you? Have you ever seen a person in a store, or in a car talking with full facial expressions, interacting with one or both arms and hands, as into a full fledged conversation, but nobody is near? Today with cell phones, it’s a pretty common site. Well, having a conversation with God is sort of like that. Nobody else knows you’re talking to somebody, but inside your emotions skyrocket. Sometimes when you try to share what God has said, people look at you like your some kind of nut. That is how my passion for Christian Woman’s Job Corp, (CWJC) started. For as…
