28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 KJV
Mothers Day 2008 My mother passed away from this life and entered into eternal life with her love and Savior.
It was very hard for all of us girls. Keeping vigil by her bedside for five days. We wept and wept knowing that Cancer was taking this precious person away from us. There was nothing we could do and that in itself was beyond our strength to accept. My sister Rose (the oldest) and I were the only ones who held on to the loving arms of Jesus, for we knew that He cared and that our mother would no longer be suffering in pain but resting in His wonderful, sweet arms soon. As for the others they hurt so deeply I didn't think they were going to survive the death of our mother.
We (Rose and my family) began to pray for our sisters and their salvation... we were just continuing what our mother did day and night for all of us... PRAY... We made it our greatest effort to bring these hurting souls to the foot of the Cross, knowing that all things work for the good. It wasn't easy, but we knew that our prayers weren't going unnoticed for God is a lover of souls full of love and compassion for the lost, dying and hurting soul.
August 2009 we had the opportunity to witness the greatest miracle in our sisters lives. Bro. Schroeder was on his way to AZ to preach for a family member, Bro. Wesson. Our sisters and their children fell in love with this bro during the time of my mothers last days. They heard he was coming to preach at a church that was near.
On their own they ALL decided to go to that Sunday service and hear this young man preach for Bro. Wesson.
We were excited beyond belief to hear that all our family down South were going to grace the doorsteps of an Apostolic, Pentecostal church!! We weren't or wouldn't dare miss this opportunity to miss the greatest event in our families lives. God was working in these hearts, a place that man cannot see or touch. God's loving mercy was tenderly touching the lives of these souls.
It was great revival to see the house of God full of the 'Flores' family. They didn't realize what they were stepping into... for we knew the powerful anointing of the Holy Ghost when you are in the presence of God! And did God move, touch, and heal hearts on this day. HALLELUJAH!!! We began to see the wonderful fulfilment of Gods Word work before our eyes...
The next day we left with heavy hearts, anxious about if they would ever find themselves back in the house of God, cause we knew that they were just going back to what was familiar to them, the lifestyle they've always led... But all the way home we cried and prayed to God to continue to work what had started in those services that wonderful Sunday. We know that our Bible tells us that His Word doesn't go out void... and It had placed itself deep in the hearts and souls of these people. We began to TRUST in Jesus.
*THE GOOD NEWS*
Well, here we go again down South to witness another great event in the lives of two young people that have found the truth deep in their hearts... Richard and Ashley. They have been visiting Bro. Wesson's church and receiving Bible Studies in their home. They have opened up their home every other Sat. for Apostolic church services for those that can't make it all the way out to the church.
God has done a wondrous work and when God does it... He does it good and better than what we could ever imagine (I and my little family are proof of that)!!
March 5th (Fri night) at 6pm they are getting married and March 7th (Sunday) they are getting baptized in that wonderful name!!! The wonderful name of Jesus Christ!!!
As the tears fall from my eyes wishing my mother was alive today to see her grandchildren making steps toward her wonderful Savior, all because of her prayers, she would be so happy.
I'm overwhelmed to say the least and God is moving in lives beyond my belief... and when we find the right prospective in living for God He will not only bless you but those around you.
REVIVAL! its called revival and I'm sooo thankful to be a part of the commandment of Gods precious Word... to go into every part of the earth reaching the lost.
*Mommy... =') your prayers reached Heaven, thank you for your inspiration*
