P.M.S. For Female Believers

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! \O/ By Pam Iannello (my late mother) PMS, or pre-menstrual syndrome, is a time of the month for females when basic emotions are elevated by way of hormonal changes. Syndrome is a word that simply means “a set of symptoms”. In other words, ladies, there are definite signs that our hormones are shifting gears. PMS does not mean that women with bodies preparing for menstruation are sporting a fatal disease that requires admittance to the intensive care unit for ongoing observation and/or a special license to be excused from anything they say or do prior to blood flow. The fact is Christian women can rise above their “set of symptoms” with the help of the Lord – IF THEY REALLY WANT TO. The emotional changes that we experience are simply more of what we already contend with on a daily basis. For instance, if you have successfully managed a particular emotion any other time of the month, PMS is nothing out of the ordinary; the sam

Heavenly Recipe: Ginger Mint Green Tea

Many of you know that my husband is from the south and so as a result of that, he occasionally likes iced tea. I never grew up drinking sweet tea and find the southern sweet tea to be overwhelmingly sweet - like a sugar transfusion! It puts me in a major slump after I drink it as my hypoglycemic body screams at me for drinking so much sugar! So I have never given it to our family for the harm the white sugar does to everyone PLUS regular tea bags contain high amounts of fluoride in them which really harms the thyroid gland.  BUT in my efforts to please my husband, thank the Lord for being able to easily find organic sugar and teas.

Haynes Family Prayer Letter - September 2016

SEPTEMBER 2016 Dear Supporting Churches and Friends,          The Haynes family is well at the moment and September has been very productive. We had a small break in the schedule so we were able to rest at our home church for a couple weeks where we celebrated Clint's 1 st birthday, and I was able to preach for my pastor a couple of times. It was time well spent because we developed a Facebook Group on our website and Justine found an online tool and developed some great witnessing gear for Italian Americans to help open doors to reach other Italian Americans, which you can see it here and on our website. We have the rest of 2016 booked with meetings and missions conferences up north so we will be "back in the saddle". More churches have committed to support the work in Italy, so we are very happy and thankful for that news. At this point we are less than 20% support, but we are praying to be past 20% by the end of October. I am praying to be at 50% by J
