SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Beloved, it is My will and desire that you not only establish yourself in My presence
as you walk in the Spirit, but I would have you establish My presence, power and
glory in areas where you live and work so that I am never far from you, says the
Lord. Constantly maintain peace and righteousness in yourself and in your surroundings.
You are indeed the light of the world; let your light shine to illuminate the darkness,
yes even deep darkness and gloominess on the earth.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.

We are now in Marsilles where my grandmother came from and her family brought the light of the gospel to Kansas. We are now here establishing light. Here it is! Voila!
We had a wonderful time on the train with 2 women I prayed with one who had a heart for the Jewish people. The French connection for sure and she was at Chuck pierce praying with Paul Wilbur in Lyon . Your heart never changes and mine grows deeper.

I love Paris .....continued

More pics of praying with sweet Kelly in Paris releasing gods grace ... We are counting our blessings one by one. The Paris flea market shots gave me lots of designer inspiration I am sure worn paint and faded fabric will be seen forever in my heart. I am learning to look deep into the souls and face of France . Hope to capture the heart that will not fade and be worn longer than today's chic.

I love Paris

We arrived in Paris June 6 under the arche de triumph. Love the architecture and the wonderful houses in the country where we are staying. I will try and post. We went on to the Eiffel tower and danced to celebrate victory as ps24 opened the gates. Our next stop at the dance studio was wonderful Kelly is doing an amazing job. It was the battle of normandy on the 7 so a tribute to the soldiers as truth and righteous arose. Our night of ministry at st peters in chantilly was wonderful. I am so grateful for all that is happening. The vision I had for Paris is a reality.
The yummy candy store was a treat indeed Gucci designed the interiors only in Paris such extravagance like heaven.

YOUR PRAYERS PAVED the PATH

 We thank everyone for opening doors to us from around the world.   So amazed  to realize we are being "sent" by all your prayers and loving "gifts".  I keep singing the song "I only have eyes for you".   Friends and family are treasures far more priceless than elegant "collectibles".    I have placed them in wonderful homes throughout the years but this trip I am bringing JUST JESUS.  Thank You Lindsey for your inspiration and writing.


  

Hope to keep posting on the blog so you can join our travels.
                                         WE are ready to leave June 4 because of friends like YOU!



Found this from an unknown writer..."God has paved our journey through the adventures of life...Our friends are the flowers He has planted along the way."
                                                    YOUR fragrance fills OUR SPACE.

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!
