Hi Everyone,

Whew, it’s a cold and rainy fall day here in Chesapeake.  Just got back in from Weight Watchers and running errands.  Boy, I’m happy to stay home the rest of the day and enjoy the pot of chili that’s waiting for me.  Just wanted to send out a reminder to everyone that the Fall Fashion Fiasco is next Thursday, Nov. 3^rd, 6:30-8:30 pm.  Cost: $14 Dinner & Comedy Fashion Show. DEADLINE FOR RESERVATIONS IS TOMORROW!  There are sure to be some great laughs, terrific food and fellowship.  If you want to attend and haven’t placed your reservations, please respond to this email. We are coming close to capacity so don’t delay.

Secondly, I want to tell you about a new endeavor of mine.  I have begun a daily blog titled “Faith for Today.”  Hopefully as others follow along with me then we will all be encouraged in our journey of faith.  We all know that our journey of faith has ups and downs, peaks and valleys, but we know that God is with us in it all.  Not only is He with us but He is speaking to us as He guides us and this is where we really get to see Him living in and through us.  You can become a follower of the blog at: http://faithstepsfortoday.blogspot.com/.  I hope you come along and enjoy the journey.

Lastly, I have one prayer request to ask of you.  I have an important decision that I have made regarding a direction of marketing my book.  I will be acting on this decision on Monday, Oct. 31^st. Would you pray with me that if this is the direction that God has led and intends to use, pray that the door will be opened.  If it is not his will, pray that the door be closed.  Please pray for the faith needed to go into uncertain territory.  I will update you as God leads.

How grateful to God, I am for you.

Love,

Pat

Greeting to all friends, family and prayer partners,

I pray this news gets out to all of you.  The last attempts I made at sending out news and prayer request ended with nearly all being returned to me.  So let’s try again. As most of you know already we have recently returned from our fall Faith like Fire book tour. What an amazing trip we had! As you read further, you will see that I have highlighted some of our excursions and praises to God. But first, let me be sure that you are all aware of the upcoming Faith Steps Fall Event. (more…)

Hello Family, Friends and Prayer Partners,

It seems like I am always beginning communication with an exclamation of how long it has been since I have written. Now I find myself in a new year with a load of praise and joy over all that God has done in 2010 as well as excitement at the prospects for the current year, 2011. Can it really be that we have already moved out of the first decade of this century? I remember the thrill of putting on those plastic glasses on New Year’s Eve, 2000. I also remember that in 2000 I was thinner, had less gray roots, and certainly didn’t have the lines and creases that have since appeared on my face. I also remember that I wore braces upon my legs at that New Year’s eve party and this year of 2011 will bring the celebration of ten years of being healed and walking this whole new journey of faith that God has done in and through my life. What a year of praise I have ahead of me!

I will highlight for you the end of 2010 and end of the century’s first decade.
