Something Good is Coming Your Way!
You are very special
God's gift to the world
Filled with His Spirit
Wise with His Word
You are happily harnessed
Captivated by God's calling
To sin not falling
To His Spirit joyously yielding
The sword of His Word wielding
Your sorrows to God are known
Though through them you've grown
Learning in Christ you have a home
You're never ever alone.
So when your mind wants to roam
And your heart wants to moan
Hold on to God's unchanging hand
He'll lead you into your own
Your promised possession
Your personal inheritance
His fullness and blessing
Just keep believing and pressing
Praying until something happens
Maintain a glorious countenance.
Settle for nothing less
Than God's ultimate best
Continue to believe, as you have
For the desires of your heart
Trust in your heavenly Father
From Him don't depart
Remain on God's easel
You're a wonderful work of art
Be patient and let God complete
That which He did start.
Embrace the process
Guard your heart.
Let patience have its perfect work
And the Shepherd of your soul satisfy
For you will no longer cry
Nor wonder and ask why
For He who sits high above in the sky
Shall show Himself strong and soon reply
Answering each prayer
Revealing to you why
Fulfilling each promise
Making wrongs right
Clarifying confusing traumas
Giving you abundantly more
Settling lifes dramas.
For this is your year
The year of Gods favor
A time of His Presence and peace
An experience to savor
To embrace
To cherish
To hold dear to your heart
The floodgates of heaven are open
Let the celebration now start!
Child of Destiny
Called by the Spirit
Yesterdays is gone
A new day has come
With the fire of My Spirit
You now shall burn and run
Taking your testimony forth
Going into the nations
Boldly arising without hesitation
For the finances shall flow
All fear shall go
Newfound confidence you'll know
Even better however
Is My power and authority
Which is yours by faith
Now grab it!
Use it!
Give it to the nations
Let God arise
And remove all limitations!
The Dream-Maker is here
In His glory Hes come
To take away the dull
And make life more fun
To cause you to arise
To not despise
Even to remove the scales
From your eyes
Imparting spiritual vision
A burden for the nations
A yearning for revival
And divine impartation
So think it not strange
As I the Lord come suddenly
For this is My time
For you to come away
Take refuge in Me
I am your hiding place
Come rest in My love
Please seek My face
For there is no end
To my divine grace
Its yours for the taking
To birth a great awakening
To resurrect the dead
To effect every heart and head
A divine turnaround has come
A spiritual outpouring will follow
And eternal joys will replace
All of your past sorrows.
Jesus is My Name
Yesterday, today and forever the same
Steadily and consistently here for you
Always understanding and welcoming too.
Happy days are here!
Says the Lover of your soul
The Holy Spirits touch makes you whole
His Word solidifies and stabilizes your soul
In the Church, Christ's body, youll discover your role
With which youll arise anew, anointed and go
In a new anointing and dimension begin to flow.
Be a princess of purity and giver of agape love
Through childlike faith youll fully receive
All you wish for and dream of
Gifts that can only come from above.
So sorrow not in the delay
For something good
Is soon coming your way!

Mitsubishi Lancer Concept To Make Detroit Debut
Mitsubishi has long been in the shadow of Japans larger automakers, but the company has managed to produce a few hit models over the years including the sporty Eclipse, the compact Lancer, the sexy Miata roadster, and the venerable rotary powered RX-8. At the moment, there is plenty of buzz over a concept vehicle that will debut at the January 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and it is a car based on the high performance version of the Lancer called the Lancer Evolution or Evo.
The Evo to be featured, according to the Kicking Tires website, is the companys Prototype X model replete with multiple hood scoops and a lower road stance. At present, only a few sketches of the concept have been shown to the public, but a preview press day will likely bring actual photos of the concept to the general public.
While the standard Lancer has been a decent seller in its own right, the Lancer Evolution has caught the attention of tuners everywhere. The Prototype X, when it finally comes off of the assembly line within the next year or two, will likely do its part to raise Mitsubishis visibility one more notch. This is good news for a division that once could not get out of the shadow of the Chrysler Corporation, its original U.S. partner.
With the Evo, tuners are likely to find a car that will match or surpass their Accords and Rios in style as well as in substance. Just what Mitsubishi needs to help the brand get noticed!

Have You Fed Your Life Today?
Last summer, I fertilized my outdoor potted plants for the first time ever. Its one of those things I always meant to do, and Id purchased the organic fertilizer months before. For some time, the bottle sat on my patio table. If its right in front of me where I see it a dozen times a day, Ill do it, right?
Wrong.
So, finally I did it. It didnt take long.
Within days, the plants were looking healthier, greener. Shoots started appearing, even on the very scruffy-looking rabbits-foot fern in my entryway.
Within weeks, there was a transformation. In my entryway now a veritable fern grotto! the rabbits-foot fern is a glowing green ball of healthy growth. The maidenhair fern is dark, deep green, and so huge that you cant find my front doorbell behind it. The staghorn fern, which had been so sick-looking I was considering throwing it away, is also deep green and putting out shoots. On the back patio, the succulents delight the hummingbirds with regular blossoms and are literally popping out of their pots with health and growth.
Now, bear with me here, because Ill admit this is a little hokey but doesnt your life deserve that kind of attention? Unlike me, you may be really good at fertilizing your plants but how much time do you spend feeding your life?
Our tendency is to get wrapped up in the demands of day-to-day life, the routines that we carve out for ourselves to maintain some sense of order. We hurry from one moment to the next, getting the kids off to school and ourselves off to work, rushing between meetings and email and the phone, joining a client or colleague for lunch, hustling home at the end of the workday to run errands and take the kids to soccer or dance practice. When we do have time to sit down and just breathe for a moment, its often with a stunned sense that there must be something we still havent done, some task or appointment thats hurtling towards us that we havent spotted yet.
We all know the value of eating well-prepared, nutritious, and tasty food to provide fuel for our physical selves. Most of us also follow a spiritual practice, whether through an organized religion or in personal, sometimes non-traditional ways, thereby providing fuel for our spiritual selves.
The physical and the spiritual are two of the three facets of life. The mental/emotional, which I call the psyche, is the third, and tends to be overlooked and left unfertilized. There are few, if any, traditions that fuel this third aspect; those that do are often remarkably bad at it (with apologies to the many good schoolteachers I have known), and are not easily available after we complete our formal education.
The psyche needs rich experiences and frivolous play to grow and blossom, and such fuel can be hard to find in this over-scheduled, over-busy, and always-urgent era. Endless routine and habit poison and stunt our psyche, and it often becomes dormant, leaving us wondering, Whatever happened to the college student who sat up late debating politics, history, and art, went to poetry readings, and spent hours playing and singing in the student lounge?
I encourage you to find ways to nourish all three aspects of your life. Evaluate which you have neglected most Id be willing to bet its your psyche and find a way to provide a little organic fertilizer on a regular basis. Youll be astonished at the vibrant growth that will result and who knows what hummingbirds your flowering may attract?
A full-spectrum approach to human consciousness and behavior means that men and women have available to them a spectrum of knowing -a spectrum that includes, at the very least, the eye of flesh, the eye of mind, and the eye of spirit. Ken Wilbur, philosopher and theoretical psychologist.

Smart Fundraisers Know and Love their Donors
Do you know who your donors are? Do you know how much they gave last time? Do you know how much they've given over the years?
If you've got good record-keeping practices in place, you do know - and you tailor your messages to them accordingly.
Unfortunately, some small non-profits are not keeping track. They aren't even taking names or sending thank you notes, and that's a huge mistake. After all, if you take hard-earned dollars out of your pocket and give them away, don't you want to know that someone appreciated the fact? Most of us do.
The basic politeness factor aside, tracking donors and encouraging them to participate in your work will raise your revenues. Everyone wants to feel important, and when you not only thank your donors, but offer them ways to participate beyond monetary giving, you cater to that desire.
What can you do to encourage your donors to participate? Can you ask them to send a letter to their Senator? Can you ask them to attend an event? Can you ask them to talk to their friends and neighbors about your cause? Can you ask them to forward an email?
Whatever it is, you can't do it at all if you don't know who they are. If a check comes in and you merely deposit it without recording information about the donor, that person will probably not donate again. So there you are, constantly searching for new donors.
If, on the other hand, you send an immediate thank you, and follow that up with a letter or newsletter letting them know the good their money did, you'll make a friend. The next time you write an appeal you can thank them for past support and explain why you need them again.
The second reason for keeping track of donors and their giving amounts is so you can send an appropriate request. You can sort your donors into giving categories and tailor your appeal to their capabilities.
For instance, if you have a group of lower-income people who give what they can - and that consists of $5 or $10 every 2 or 3 months, you would not send a letter with a giving string beginning at $50. Conversely, if you have donors who give $100, $500, or $1000, you surely wouldn't want to include a giving string of $5 - $10 - $25 - $50.
Unless you keep records, how will you know which donor should receive which letter? But then, if you don't keep records, you have no one to mail to, so it doesn't matter.
