Ministry of the interior room change.

What is hiding in your room? Are you ready for change?

Surrender your heart make ROOM for HIM.




Mary Ann is getting ready to travel and touch the hearts of women as she shares from her own redesign.


“They that sow in tears will reap in joy.”Psalm126:5
Shattered promises, broken dreams simply changed the serene room, she was silent.

Mary Ann, an interior designer, will re-arrange the rooms of your heart as she shares highlights from her own life. Life did not make sense and her room fix seemed impossible.

She comes with a sure word for the women of Europe. She is sent to remove “clutter” and bring balance.
Strength to continue and regain vision will come as you see your room with a view.

Tears will flow as Jesus fills the room. Joy will remain as He changes hearts.

Choices



We are learning so much about what we don't know. I now understand clients that get overwhelmed in the fabric section of a design center...too many choices. No,I am not talking about packing. How do we set up contacts? Do they Skype or use imessage? Will communication work as we hit France, even with apps installed? Will I be able to remember how to use them? I think I am going to go sit awhile, like clients do when they have had too much creative saturation. Let me take you to my favorite spot. I want clear communication and a true message for this trip. 

 THE message Bible in 1John4:17-19 paints a picture of what I like to describe as hanging out in God’s beautiful living room. It is complete. Full of Love and GRACE. We know we are hanging out with him in the living room when we know His life lives in us by his very own Spirit. Let’s remember to “state openly that the Father sent His son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God. God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that on judgement day--our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well informed love banishes fear.”

 Let’s redecorate our room with JUST JESUS.

Paris Here We Come!

  We are off  on our adventure.  Our first stop will be Paris and our first fun thing will be staying in Chantilly and sharing our heart at St Peters Church.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to serve and share.  Thank you Lori for trusting us and opening the door.  We love you and can hardly wait to meet your friends!  French antiques, treasures and fashion.  Hope to unlock treasures to bring back to the design community.   It has been a long time baby since I have been in Paris, let the fun begin!





MARY ANN and RICH HOPKINS FROM PHOENIX, ARIZONA LOVING LIFE AND THEIR GRAND BOYS!

“WE are in our 27th year
year of our journey
together letting
God have
His way
in our life.”
Rich was “saved” from an all-consuming career managing bond money for one of the largest pension funds in the
world and Mary Ann was a single mom with 2 kids (ages 4 and 6) struggling to survive as an interior designer when their
journey began with YWAM. Their story together is the testimony of Romans 5:3-5 in the Message Bible. “We continue to
shout our our praise even when we are hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate
patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do
next. In alert expectancy such as this, weʼre never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary-we canʼt round up
enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!”
You will be encouraged by their testimony of hope and healing!
