today during prayer I was pouring out my heart to God and at one point I was apologizing for being human. Then I realized He made us human, He knows our weaknesses and our shortcomings. All He wants is for us to know that and that we need Him. That we need to change what we can but leave the rest up to Him. He knows we are not perfect. TYJ for that reassurance.

- Mark and I had gone to Jackson last night so I could get a few things from Hobby Lobby and Best Buy... then he took me out to TGI Friday's. while we were there he began a very disturbing discussion with me... told me he wanted to move closer to the kids and grandkids, told me that I was living in a dream world thinking that God was going to move at Hopewell that we have been there 5 years, 5 years Lisa and nothing has happened. I reminded him of all the miracles we have seen and though we haven't seen the Holy Ghost poured out yet that indeed God is moving. - of course he didn't want to hear me. he told me he was starting to believe that I was a false prophet because I had told him earlier this year that I felt God told me that Melissa and Melanie were going to get married this year. well that leaves us two days and it hasn't happened. - so well, to make a long story short during prayer meeting this morning I was soul searching and that was when I found myself asking God if I was a false prophet and asking forgiveness for my humaness, etc. and that was when I felt Him tell me that I was not a false prophet and that what I had felt was my mother's instinct. that I know inside myself that it is time for my daughters to get married and that is why I had felt that way and that I know I need to get in shape if I want to look nice at their weddings. so.. as far as the Hopewell Missionary work, I love it.. anyone who pays me to sing and play with my limitations - well you know that is a God thing. and I saw Bro. cupples brought back to life, a miracle with Summer Maples being able to walk and talk and all the things she is doing when she had that brain stroke. to see a man walking when he had a 1000 pound implement fall on him - yes, God is moving. TYJ

Sunday Mark and I sang saved to the uttermost ,,, power of God strong in the church

been having some great church at Hopewell and the nursing homes. Everywhere I go I get opportunity to tell of God's goodness and I am thankful for every open door. TYJ

today God woke me up with songs about direction and happiness and joy. so I made a medley of these songs "Smile Awhile ", Jesus on the Inside, Into my heart, I've got the joy joy joy down in my heart, I'm in right out right, upright, down ...right happy all the time... then Kim and I sang "When I think about the Lord", Without Him I could do nothing, Jesus, there's something about that Name, Amazing Grace and Since Jesus Came into my heart. - that was a lot of songs, yes, but many were choruses only and they all brought us into the place we needed to be to hear the message about the Good Samaritan and how everyone is our neighbor. Bro. Rick told about the missions work in KY. God is doing gr8 things!! TYJ - Summer and Jerry were both able to make it this morning even though they both have been through so much. God is awesome!! pray for Caden he might have to get tubes put in his ears. sweet little baby boy.

Hubby came home from the trash route the other night and lay down on the couch. I started griping because I could smell him and he said "i am so sick of it"... meaning my griping. I got up and went to the restroom and while in there started praying that God would help me to deal with my being so spoiled. My hubby had just been working 3 hours out in the heat and with stinky smelly trash and here I am in the AC and all the comforts of home. I asked God to forgive me and told God that I hope I am never a stench in His nostrils. That my prayers and praise will be a sweet savor and then I was so thankful for my hubby to have a job, and that I still have a husband. I was thinking how that i am sure that Aunt Sandy would give anything to have Uncle Carl's little quirks back, like dragging mud in on his shoes, or whatever the things were. - we must be more patient and understanding of each other, and thankful. above all else, thankful.

Father's Day 2011

Hopewell, just some folks visiting around after church... love these people and pray for them every day and I know they pray for me. TYJ

Tithing/Stewardship

today at church the lesson was about Stewardship, and then during church the message was about tithing. How often we take for granted that GOD gives us the ability to create wealth and then when He gives us $10, we get to keep $9. How we can't out give God, how He puts money in unexpected places for us, like that $20 that got in your billfold that you didn't even know was there, etc. How that He blesses our crops, the work of our hands, etc. We can tithe the firstfruits of our harvest by sharing with the neighbors or giving to the poor. How we can tithe with our time. He gives us 24 hours a day, give Him 10 percent. He gives us 7 days a week, give Him 10 percent, etc. give it in Praying, in giving, in blessing others, etc. If He blesses you monitarily, then tithe on the money. What he was saying, and was exactly how I had thought, that we can tithe on our time, though our talents and charity. TYJ We cannot outgive the Lord!!

Nursing home services, visiting the elderly, being a foster parent, etc.. pleases God.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27)KJV

I got this answer in prayer today... the reason we are to weep at the birth of a child and rejoice at the death of a saint is because we don't know the future of the child, but we do know the future of the saint.

Every Sunday I have a NEW testimony of Praise!

a man at Hopewell (Richard B) came up to me after church this morning and told me that on Friday he was at work and the gospel station they had playing became static and so he went to fix the radio and it went to a country station and this song was playing and before he knew it hewas bawling and tingling and just the presence of God all over him. TYJ
Randy Houser - In God's Time - Live In Nashville Jan 18 2011

actually his wife Susan brought him over to me and had him tell me the story. He didn't want to tell me at first, but she knew that I would really want to hear about it. He said that he was a bit embarrased about it because it wasn't his personality to cry, he said that he guesses he is becoming and old softy. - but I told him no, that when the spirit of God touches us like that - we have no control over our emotions. our soul longs after Jesus and that I have similar experiences from time to time at home. - I told him he needs to start a spiritual/journal and write things like this down to have to help him see what God is doing in his life. God is doing great miracles in this family. their granddaughter samatha has had pollops and had treatment but the last one that came healed on it's own accord (well, with prayer), and their son donnie had an accident on a tractor and busted up his knee and should have been killed when 150 pound coil fell on him. But God spared his life and he was at church last sunday (a week ago) and would have been there this week but Christie had to work. (he can't drive). He goes for constructive knee surgery this Thursday. But I know that God spared his life. TYJ

i got to witness another miracle this week when I saw Sis. Johnson hand Nancy a tithes check from her daughters disability. Sis. Nancy had tears come up in her eyes. I don't know how much the check was for, but I know that it was just what was needed. God is God!!

Clara and her cousin Mary were at church again this week. this was the second sunday. - see all those prayers for two years or more, is being answered! TYJ

God kissed me today!!

Today I turned around in church and there was Ms. Clara and her cousin Mary sittin there. I have invited Clara for over 2 years and today she came. TYJ!! so awesome!!

Pray = communication

Lisa Anne Kelley Peter in response to someone's post about why worry to the point of getting sick over a situation when it is out of our control anyway? .....

same as with "why pray?" God already knows everything and has it in control anyway. however, He likes for us to pray, and so when we have stuff that makes us worry, we get to pray about it. He likes to hear our voice and likes us for us to listen to His still small voice as well.

Bro. Neil asked at the end of service if anyone had anything they would like to say, and I shared my thought - that I also plan to put on my podcast (hazelwoodusa). About how we all want to be like the Eagle, to wait upon the Lord and have renewed strength and mount up like on wings of eagles. But it isn't possible for us to always stay at that elevation. Sometimes we are more like the Sparrow. However, we must never forget that even the Sparrow's are being watched out for by the Lord. His eye is on the Sparrow and I know He watches me! Not one sparrow can fall to the ground without our Father knowing. TYJ!

This is Bro. John ( the minister that came to us today from New Friendship to fill in for Bro. Randy being gone). He preached from Exodus 14:14-17 and Hebrews 11 - about Faith. He only spoke about 10 minutes, but he was crying when he first took the pulpit because we had just finished singing Amazing Grace and he said that song always makes him cry because now he understands not just in the spiritual sense about being blind but now also in the physical and that we take for granted our eye site. It was quite touching. But his message about Faith was short but powerful. His wife and four young ladies were there to give him support. One was Macee Payne. Karen and Elaine were very happy to see her.
It was a good service.

This is a picture of me that I took when I got back home after church. I thought my hair turned out good like this and so I wanted to take a pic. I like the clothes too. :>

I said the pledge of allegiance today. - during prayer I walked past our family altar where there is a patriotic quilt and I stopped at the quilt and put my hand on my heart and said the Pledge of Allegiance. I plan on saying it every day as I pray for the United States of America. God bless the USA

A beautiful Image of His Love

Today during prayer, as I was praying for my grandson Israel, my face just lit up and I was all happy in my heart with beautiful thoughts of him and how sweet he is. What joy he brings to our lives. - My thought immediately went to the fact that this is exactly how I hope God feels when He thinks about me or looks upon me. That I will bring happiness and delight that He created me. That I will be a beautiful image of His love. That when He looks at me and says "well done" it will really be like talking to Himself, because He will have been the one who molded and shaped and created me to be all that I could be for His honor, love and glory. He will see Himself because I will have become just like Him. - years ago I wrote a poem called "beautiful Images of His Love" and it is exactly this very concept.
Continue to mold and make me in Your Will. I want to die to myself, my selfishness, my pettiness, my emptiness and be just like You, Heavenly Father.

Miracles are happening at Hopewell and in Chester County TN

I have been witnessing great miracles at Hopewell missionary Baptist church. A church that is led by Pentecostals and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amy and Jerry Kinchen and their family has now began coming back and I told Amy I just lit up with happiness when I saw them come back and she said "it feels like home". TYJ I also saw Summer Maples walk over to the other side of the church yesterday and sit with Kindyl - so we are starting to get a youth group. Nathan, Gavin, Hunter are and have been great friends for a long time and they sit together. Miranda and Ethan sat with their grandma Nancy. Sandy and Randy have several grandkids that are of various ages and so the church is getting a range in age, not just old people. TYJ.
Yesterday Bro. Randy was really in a lot of pain with a kidney stone but persisted on preaching and God touched him and took the pain away. After I sang "He knows Exactly what I need" at the end of service Kim asked for everyone to go to the altar and pray for Bro. Randy, most everyone did and then we hugged those around us when we were through. Just a real sweet spirit of the Lord there.
Bro. Randy had told us earlier about how the food bank was needing 25 shopping carts to do the food distribution next month, he had thought he would have to get five from one grocery store and 4 from another, etc because Henderson doesn't have that many options. but he didn't tell us how, but somehow Hopewell now owns 28 shopping carts. God provided the need.

The Pentecostals of Henderson aka Christ Community Church is under transition waiting on a new Pastor. I don't know what God has in store for CCC, but I do know that it will all be part of the Hazelwood USA plan of things. I know that God is going to have a great revival in this area and that all of these things are working together for His glory.

" FDA Regulations For A True Christian".

There has been a lot of talk regarding the deception found in marketing tactics to lure the shopper to purchase items that they think are good for them. Much time and attention to the tiniest detail is put in advertising and packaging to lure the prospective buyer. One of the newest things are the wonders of blueberries and all the great things that they do for us. So now when you go shopping you see pictures of beautiful blueberries on many packages that look so delicious and healthy. However, when you read the label of ingredients, many times the ONLY blueberry thing in there is Artificial flavor and color. Hit the gong... wake up!! What seemed to be healthy is now a death trap. Why hasn't the FDA stepped in and prevented such deception? How can they target their market to human lives? Well - the FDA sometimes does step in and measures and made for the company to change their labels or packaging and to not be so deceptive, but the best thing for consumers everywhere is to READ the Labels.. don't go by appearance only. And even the best of the best products can never even come close to being as good as the REAL thing.
All of this got me thinking about our Christian walk. Is our label saying Christian with a lot of artificial additives? Are we failing to walk the walk and talk the talk? Are we accepting substitutions when we can have the REAL thing? Are we allowing our freedoms and rights to be taken away from us as our spiritual health fails because we are not nutritionally sound because we have been weaned from the true bread and from the whole milk? The Holy Ghost is our FDA agent and regulation.. Are we full of FDA?

F = Faith, D = Devotion, A = Adoration.
I know that I for one, want to be the REAL THING!!

Still trying to learn how to upload previous podcast mp3 feeds from comp to blog

It is Feb 2011 and I know I want to resume my Hazelwood Usa podcast this year, but I thought that I could at least upload those Mp3 files from previous podcasts from my computer here to the blog, until I do more recordings. All the playlist feed gadgets I see are ones that upload from other sites, not from home pc's. It looks like I may have to reactivate my libsyn account and just have that link uploaded to the blog. I will do more checking on it today. If anyone knows about these things, please feel free to comment. I would be blessed to have someone help walk me through this learning experience. Thank You!

Notes for a future HazelwoodUSA Podcast TBA

This morning while in prayer, from the depths of my soul I found myself saying... "Lord, when I stand before You on judgement day I hope You only see YOU in me as I hope to completety die out to me." And I have been thinking about that ever since. If we do die to self, and to the things of God and we are His hands, His feet, and His voice... then on judgement day for sure we will hear Him say "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" because we will have fulfilled all that we were called to do. We will have done it all through His anointing, His calling and His blessing. We won't need to fear the judgement day if we live with this motive. It will be the greatest time of our life to hear those words of Jesus say "enter thou into the joy of the LORD!!". I love living for Him!

Exodus 3, - God spoke to Moses through the firey bush... Moses couldn't see the face of God, but it was as if they spoke face to face. "It's between you and God"... was the title of today's message. I sang " He never left me....".. praise report, Mandy's sonogram showed that the cyst on her baby is gone!! baby is perfect in every way. Hallelujah, that is just like my Jesus!

Students played for us today..
Summer, guitar "Leaning on the everlasting arms"
Hunter, piano "I just came to praise the Lord"

great to see their progress and let them be used of God like that. Some day they may be musicians in their churches or in nursing homes or even be teaching music lessons. TYJ

Hazelwood USA - virtual Theme Park for the Apostolic Experience

God is no respecter of persons. What He did for those in the upper room on the day of Pentecost is still for you and I today. Peter preached in Acts 2:38, 39 that this promise is for you, your children and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.
