Here's my heart;

Here’s what’s on my heart; I can't help but be thankful for God’s amazing love, mercy and grace.  He is so faithful.  Even when I am faithless and less than deserving, He is faithful.  Every time (and I mean every time) I fall down, wander in my own wrong direction or purposely walk away from God, He is there to welcome me back when I turn around.  All I can do is say thank you Lord, but then the inevitable happens, I want to shout it from the roof top “Isn't His love amazing!”  I want everyone to know Him and experience His grace and love.  The second part of II Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is extraordinarily patient toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.”

This is why I am so excited, encouraged even committed to help other believers share who Jesus is to them, how they know Him personally and what He has done to change their lives.  I see it as a collective chorus, a beautiful melody rising from the children of God, lifting up the King of kings.  There are so many believers with amazing, unique stories; each one is a demonstration of His amazing love and grace. I believe that now it is critical to tell these stories, because the truth of Jesus changes both hearts and minds, gives peace and hope for eternity!   I keep hearing Jesus words in John 12:32, “If I am lifted up, I will draw all men to me”.  I am thrilled that He will do it!

The reason for the name “Is There Any Good News?” well I hope that it will be an attention getter for people who are wondering that very thing.  In the world we live in today people are struggling, they are anxious and hurting.  From their perspective things may seem pretty bleak.  They may feel very far from God, if they are even still convinced of His existence at all.  I believe that it is time to dispel the lies about God in one united, collective voice sharing the best news ever.   

My greatest passion is to present the message of Jesus to as many people as will listen. 
The goal is to interview as many believers as possible.  Ok, I'll be honest, the first number that popped into my head was a million, but that is admittedly a very big number and I am pretty sure that is way beyond human ability. The way I see it, God is in charge and it belongs to Him.    

We (my husband Tomas and I) are in the beginning process of launching the “Is There Any Good News” website; we are diligently learning the video editing software program in order to produce a quality product, gathering names and scheduling interviews.  It sounds so simplistic and easy, however, there is a great deal to learn and at times we experience technical difficulties. Our final and very critical step will be to engage the body at large.  Willing hands and feet are needed to carry this information to as many people as possible.  We will make available easy to share business cards with the web address, directing people to the videos which we intend to post on You Tube.  These “partner” Churches will then step in to “receive” those who come to Christ.  

This is clearly a God sized task, and we realize that we cannot do this alone, so, please pray for us.  In describing this I feel as though I have just barely scratched the surface and there is so much to be done.  Thank you so much for your prayers; stop by often to see where we are in the process!

Thank you so much for your love and encouragement!

I Love You!
