Free Cleaning for Cancer Patients


                                                    
If you know any woman currently undergoing chemo, please pass the word to her that there is a non-profit cleaning service that provides FREE professional housecleaning - 1 time per month for 4 months while she is in treatment for ANY type of cancer. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment.

Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women.

Cleaning for a Reason was founded in May 2006 by Debbie Sardone.

I just recently learned about this on Thursday from our women's ministry at my church and wanted to get the word out.
Let's be a blessing to someone. Let them know that there are people out there that care and want to help them during this difficult time.

For more info on Cleaning For a Reason please go to cleaningforareason.org

Have a blessed day,

Mirrors

Mirrors. Each day young girls and women all over get up and look into them. We use them to check our hair, put are make up on, brush our teeth and so on.

Sometimes we like the mirror. Sometimes we don't. Maybe each time you look into that mirror you wish you could change something. I know sister, I have had those days too. Maybe, you are just having one of those "hair days". Ok so maybe it is not the hair. Is it something else?  Whatever it is God is calling you to look into His mirror today dear ones.  If you are not sure where to start or how to look into God's mirror, I would honored to come right along side of you.

When looking at Psalm 45:11 It tells us The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

 Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

He created you. You have purpose. You are beautiful. Find your idenity dear one, in the mirror of God's word.  I pray you have a moment to view this video of Jennifer Rothschild speaking at a Women of Faith conference.



Have a wonderful day beautiful ones!
I am praying for all of you today.

Hugs,

A Little Radical Read-Along

Whew! Where did the summer go? I really wish for just a few weeks we cold have frozen it and just sat by the pool. Nope. It did not happen that way. Kids everywhere are showing off their new backpacks and heading off to school.

What does that mean for us moms? A little radical read-along. Yep, that's right it is time for us moms to put up our toes and read a book together. Dads are invited too. We do not want you to feel left out. I know you want the details.
The book that we will be reading together is Radical by David Platt.

We will read a chapter a week. Sounds doable, right?
I more than likely will be reading while sitting in the pick up line. How about you?

Marla is heading up this radical read-along on Tuesdays. Head on over to her blog for more details.

Looking forward to reading with you all.

Hugs and blessings,

Rachel

Words of a brokenhearted one

I am usually the one that desires to pick up the bruised and broken ones. The ones that feel unloved. I have been there so I understand. It is my desire for each young girl, teen and women of all ages, feel that they are loved and beautiful. It is my desire for them to know that they are His daughters. I want them to see and know Jesus with all their heart.


Lately, I have been going through some desert times. Some preparation, if you know what I mean. I felt like I was crossing over. This weekend brought some wonderful time with our Father. Some God moments.
Then it hit. Words. Why do we let other's words define us sometime?  I went to bed and woke up feeling like I was the brokenhearted one.

Those words brought confusion.Yes, we can disagree on topics. However, it felt as if I was misunderstood and not supported. Who knows maybe I should have said more or explained myself better.  It made me think "Did I hear God right?" "Am I following His lead ?"

On this Monday I am holding onto these  two scriptures. I read them in this Proverbs 31 Devotion It was written by Carol Davis


Psalm 34:18, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (NIV)

Isaiah 61:1, "The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners…" (NIV)
 
There is "POWER" in these scriptures!
 
Have a blessed day beautiful ones

Love is in Jr. High Orientation

Today, I am linking up with Joanne at One So Blessed  Joanne is a cool mom, who drives a mini van.

                                              

LOVE in our home today sounded like this.  '"MOM,  will you please stay in the car. You do not have to take me to the door."  Notice: I saw all the other moms, going in with their Jr. Highers.

Yep, I guess you could call it LOVE that I stayed in the car, while dropping her off for Jr. High orientation. I mean it took LOVE. I guess she didn't want to be embarrassed, in front of her friends who by the way LOVE me.  I just know they do *wink, wink*

The Princess Within

I thought I would re-post this since my daughter is at Princess Within Camp this week.

It is a privilege to introduce our very special guest today.
Her name is Amber Williams.

She is the Director of Positive Life Choices at the Community Pregnancy Center, as well as a singer, speaker, and author. Amber has spoken to over 40,000 young people.

She, is often referred to as “The Abstinence Lady,”. She has a passion to reach  the younger generation with the message of purity. This hopeful romantic enjoys spending time with family and friends, and ever growing closer to the heart of The Great King.

Welcome Amber!!

Hello Beautiful Daughters!

Psalm 45:13
All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.

It is my mission to help young ladies understand their place in the kingdom of God. We are His daughters and therefore princesses of the Great King. We are so loved. If we could but just understand how we are valued by Almighty God, we would be unstoppable--talk about having a good healthy self esteem!

I would love to introduce you to a new purity curriculum for teen girls called "The Princess Within: Living Like a Princess from the Inside Out" for young ladies who truly want to learn how to live like a princess from the inside out! Whether you are looking to hold a week long "princess camp," weekend retreat or Bible study, this is the program for you! The sessions include titles such as "The Great Legacy Love Affair," The Qualities of a True Princess," The Purity of a Princess," "What to Look for in a Prince" and "Building a Castle of Dreams."
For more information, check out my website sacredrevolt.com

Thank you so much Amber for taking time out of your busy schedule. I hear there are wedding bells coming this fall. Congrats on your engagement! You will make a beautiful bride.
You can listen to Amber on Erin Campbell's radio show "Conversations in Courage" talking about her newly published curriculum, "The Princess Within: Living Like a Princess from the Inside Out."

Have a blessed day
Hugs and Prayers,
