What would I have to do to get you to see that Jesus Christ is real?
Once you see that Jesus Christ is real, would you be willing to surrender your life to Him?
Jesus died on the cross for our sins, according to scripture...
He was buried and then rose from the dead, according to scripture...
He's alive and living in me and can live in you as well.
What are you going to do with that information?
Please read John 3:16. I love you!

ToBeABride Hit the Road Again!
Bridal Shows now officially hold a precious place in my heart. If you missed out on the stories from the 1st Bridal Show in September, read them at ToBeABride Hit the Road.
Below are stories from yesterday's Great Show in Santa Barbara! Enjoy and please pray for these stories with me.
A sweet young Christian woman is engaged to an Agnostic, but he is not holding her back from her attending church, bible study, values etc so she wants to continue praying for him and marry him anyways. I gave her the book "Loving Your Husband" and reminded her it is not going to be easy.
A lady who has never been married herself, dropped by and felt it heavy on her heart that she give "The 5 Love Languages" to her Agnostic landlord. She says he is a gentle personality who is always trying to figure out how to get along better with his spouse. Let's pray this book helps out his marriage as well as enlightens him about Jesus!
A very energetic precious lady wants her marriage to be blessed and wants to do everything right in God's eyes and she is so thankful that her fiance is like minded. She was so excited to take the Workbook for "Before You Say I Do" so that they could focus on what is most important in these last days before their wedding...knowing that it's still not too late to pray and evaluate any issues that come up in conversation because of this study they will do together.
A fellow vendor stopped by and mentioned that she and her husband have been needing a retreat to go to and that they are definitely going to see about attending "Weekend to Remember." I was given several flyers for the Weekend to Remember and if you sign up through the following group, you will receive a substantial discount:

I was encouraged several times as well with the following story and statements. Thank you, I am loving this ministry so much:
"Thanks for doing this."
"There should be more booths like this."
"This is what's most important isn't it."
One young couple had the absolute sweetest spirits about them...they are going to have such a sweet blessed marriage. They didn't need to stop, but it was so great to sit there and enjoy their smiles and love...Jesus poured out of their hearts by just having them stand to talk with me for a few short minutes...thank you for stopping!
One gentleman came to the booth late in the day and seemed to have gotten stopped in his tracks, turned back, took a deep breath and smiled before sharing the following:
His fiance got food poisoning and she couldn't make it, but really wanted the info from the show. He agreed to go, but knew he was going to have a hard time figuring out what he should do while he was there, but he said as soon as he saw the ToBeABride booth, he knew that this was the reason he was supposed to come to the show!
Just remember...there is so much more to marriage beyond that awaiting wedding day and hopefully you are preparing your life for the MOST IMPORTANT Wedding Day of ALL! John 3:16

Fairs meet Marriage: My FAVORITE 2 Things!
What a day I had today, absolutely LOVED it! I have been in contact with a gentleman for about a month, from the time he first called me to ask if he could somehow propose to his girlfriend on stage at one of the Fairs where I work. Well, he had me from HELLO because we share the same birthday and he wanted to propose on his birthday and well, I have a heart for marriage so I wanted to find some way some how to minister to this couple! Well, yesterday was THE day and it was absolutely incredible, I had so much fun with this whole thing...maybe I COULD be a Wedding Planner in my future:) Well I had it all coordinated with the Hypnotist, one of my great friends Tyzen, and when he was telling me how he was going to have the guy do the proposal I was already crying! So Tyzen asked me to be in the FRONT row to watch the show just so he could get feedback from my face that things were going as I would like...or so I thought!! Well, yesterday was my birthday, as I mentioned and before the whole proposal, Tyzen really wanted me in the front row to bring me up in front of EVERYBODY to sing Happy Birthday to me. Then it all happened, a beautiful proposal through a card magic trick, a slow dance and a sweet YES was the answer, I was BAWLING!:) I always try to remember to carry a few of the Fireproof movies with me as well as a few of the Love Dare books, so I gave them a Fireproof movie!
Then, little did I know, the night hadn't ended:) A co-worker who I have been working with for about 6 months now came into my office late last night when I had written the first line of this blog and she just came by to chat. WELL, did we chat:) I gave away ANOTHER Fireproof movie!!! I love it, God use me PLEASE! What JOY I receive in sharing His LOVE! I want to love these people and spend time with them and let the conversation flow and just encourage them that they are so loved it's incredible AND IT'S SOOOOO WORKING:) John 3:16 Friday, February 20, 2009
Fireproof Your Marriage With Us!
I have a fabulous GUEST BLOGGER today! For those of you who read and haven't yet participated in My 1st Giveaway!, my sister-in-law has some great words of encouragement from her time spent in reading the book Love Dare. It is very special to me to share her words since she sent the book to me and my husband without us knowing and I am overwhelmed with God's perfect timing for this book in my life. Please let me know your stories, they don't have to be about the book, just great things we can share with each other about life, love, marriage, our walk with our Lord and anything else that can be encouraging as we abide in Him and for Him throughout life.
May John 3:16 be your greatest comfort today:) I love you!
Since I read this blog, I have wanted to respond, not necessarily for the movie giveaway, but because I have read the book and it brought so much to me so here it is. I have finished reading Love Dare, and I have bought it and sent it out to the people I love the most, so that they too can benefit from it. Not because you try to fix their marriage, or because anything is wrong with it, but because I love them all and hope and pray that something in that book clicks and maybe just maybe betters them as a human being, Christian, and yes, even partner. But this is what I got from it. I got a positive outlook to marriage. Coming from a surrounding of not so positive outlooks, I learned "marriage" is not just a commitment, it's a covenant. Not just with your spouse, but with God. And in trying to work out a marriage, the good and the bad, you are also working on a covenant with God. In a marriage there REALLY ARE 3, but first you must know how to put God first and above all else. You must learn to trust and put your faith in God, that things will change, and things may hit rock bottom, but if you have a strong foundation with God, and hold on tight, you WILL survive. You will come out stronger and better. God gives you the person meant for you, you may not always like the packaging after awhile, but it is what God needs in your life. And we must remember that we OURSELVES may not always be the best packaging for our spouses, but we must never give up in trying to be who the Lord intended us to be in order to give our spouses whom they were intended to have. Many parts of the book struck and stuck with me, but one in particular makes sense. We can not change people, they are who they are until "they" choose to change, but you can have a part in that not by being negative or giving up or yelling or fighting, but by praying for them. Because ultimately, it is out of our hands. Ultimately, only God can change people. Ultimately, they will see that anything is possible once they accept God. And all you can do is be true to your God, and be true to yourself, and be there to support them in their path to God. We have to work on ourselves, and our relationship with God, and let God, and only God, work on them.
