Actually I was reflecting on some of our family's past history. Some may
not have been on this forum back when I first posted it in 2007. Hopefully
this will be an encouragment to someone today.

Bro. Berk,
I can't imagine NOT living in TEXAS!!!
Yes, I was born and bred here! In May I will have graduated 50 yrs,
ago in Texas!! Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the church
(vineyard) my dad and mom planted for their FATHER! I was 18 yrs old
at the time, married the next yr. It will also mark 50 yrs. that I have been
church secretary of this vineyard of the Lord. My youngest sibling, sister,
was born earlier that year Feb.1958) and the church began in Nov 1958.
She will be 50 next Feb. In the Bible the number 50, I believe, meant the
year of Jubilee! I am believing great things are going to happen the next
two or three years. Also 2009, we will be married 50 yrs. To Him be the
glory, for without Him we can do nothing!!!
As I mentioned 50 yrs. ago this May, I graduated from high school in the
same Texas town we still live. The class had thirty something graduates
and to date, they are all alive...50 yrs. later. The eleven children Dad and
Mom raised in this Texas town, are still alive. We eleven all graduated here
and although, somewhat scattered, all still live in TEXAS. Good rich soil!!
Yes, God planted us in TEXAS and our TEXAS ROOTS are really deep by
now!! Daddy said he knew if his family was ever going to have any roots,
natural and spiritual, he was going to have to stay put and this is where
God planted him. We were not popular when we arrived in Sept. of 1950.
Some called us "new lights", and fasted and prayed that we would leave.
Jesus said in Matt. 15, that "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath
not planted, shall be rooted up". Just like a tree planted by the waters!!!
Yes, I have no doubt that we were planted here by our heavenly Father,
and this TEXAS town (growing fast now) is where I will one day be buried,
at least this "outer" man/woman. But for now this TEXAS lady will just be
patient and wait for further instructions from my Father (Spirit) in heaven.
Blessings,
