You rocked my world with the love of Jesus and I have never forgotten it. I am now a Principal/Superintendent in a small school district and it is my mission field - I am out to have Jesus change my community with His love and adoration with the students and community I serve. God's favor is amazing. Do you have any recordings from back in the day that I could share with my now grown sons?brsmedley2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09361298105550184851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2003236846802251050.post-38107998360142608902011-07-03T23:06:34.611-07:002011-07-03T23:06:34.611-07:00I don't publicly write but thank heaven for jo...I don't publicly write but thank heaven for journals.<br /><br />"well, i write about Jesus.<br />of His vast love for each of<br />us. i write about my children.<br />about me. our struggles and<br />failures. our victories. and how God weaves beauty through everything."<br /><br />"this beautiful, majestic God can put people together for all His <br />God-ordained reasons."<br /><br />"God uses experiences like these to<br />completely break us so we can be<br />pure. so we are bottomed out. purged of our self-absorbed ways. so we stop, and can hear Him when He speaks to us."<br /><br />run into His arms, _______.<br />they are never too short.<br /><br />I love divine appointments!

Ann Kiemel. i still have a copy, autographed by you, of "I'm out to Change My World" that you handed me at a conference when I was 13 years old. i decided then that I wanted to be you. I wanted to write a book and travel around talking about it. For a long time as a teenager I wrote without capital letters.<br /><br /> And as you grew up I grew up with you. I waited until I was 32 to get married, "giving God time." And like you, we adopted children -- 12 in 12 years.<br /><br />This month we published our first book about how we got our children. And now I am scheduling speaking engagements.<br /><br />I doubt you have time to read my blog, but it would be so amazing to connect with you.<br /><br />http://www.fletcherclan.blogspot.com<br /><br />www.outofmanyonefamily.com (book website)Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057662343562530495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2003236846802251050.post-64467466858969645272009-08-20T03:27:06.300-07:002009-08-20T03:27:06.300-07:00Thanks for stepping aside Ann... and giving the gl...Thanks for stepping aside Ann... and giving the glory to Jesus. This moment you wrote of... the moments you have written of in the past. Simple encounters with people you meet. Sharing the simple but greatest message of Christ revealed. Offered when you are tired... when you let go and let Jesus shine through.. a moment captured in verse afterwards and shared... a gift. God bless you Ann.

I ...It's great to connect with you again, Ann. I was a single mother too. Looking back, I don't see how I made it. I hated my job, but the benefits were so good I couldn't afford to leave. My ex-husband remarried soon after our divorce, and his stepchildren were a bad influence on my daughter. All I could do was pray, especially when she entered high school. Most of the things I worried about didn't happen. My daughter didn't use drugs or alcohol, or have sex. But we argued constantly. She resented not having a computer or cell phone. It did no good to point out that I didn't have them either. The church we attended got a new youth pastor, and my daughter took such a dislike to him that she refused to return. I was so worn down with all the cutting, cruel words she hurled at me. In fairness to her, I wasn't much better. At the beginning of her senior year, she moved to her father's house. I was so devastated that I often had to remind myself to breathe. He had bribed her by promising to buy her all the things I couldn't afford. Many nights, I cried myself to sleep on her bed, clutching her stuffed animals in my arms. I changed churches because the memories of her as a little girl in VBS and children's choir were too much. My prayers during this time were mostly repetitive pleas to bring my daughter home to me. She visited, but never came home again to live. <br /><br />Today, she is 25 and the bad teenage years are long behind us. We still argue sometimes, and we don't always like each other. I don't approve of some of her choices, such as not finishing college. She doesn't approve of some of my choices, either. But we love each other. Sometimes she sends me emails thanking me for all I have done for her. I send her emails apologizing for not being a better mother. She has even said, "I don't know how you put up with me."Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819240574149143718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2003236846802251050.post-32837742682067368372009-08-14T14:03:27.215-07:002009-08-14T14:03:27.215-07:00Ann I still do not have your tapes.

It was wonderful, but I really need the old ones.

I have to admit this. There are often times when I wonder where he is and if I could I would tell him how to do things that concern my life. I am going through almost three years of intense persecution. When I came to this place, I heard the Holy Spirit seem to say that I was in the perfect fruit producing soil. He warned me not to fight, but to produce or schrivel up like that tree that never produced fruit for many years. But I am struggling with anger and unforgiveness today. Pray for me because I want to follow Jesus all the way. I NEED HIM! IWANT TO PRODUCE FRUIT BUT I AM TEMPTED TO WIGGLE OUT OF THE SOIL! HELP! I AM STRUGGLING!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504654250412119909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2003236846802251050.post-84514843925650266682009-08-12T19:40:26.024-07:002009-08-12T19:40:26.024-07:00your writing still brings tears to my eyes and a l...your writing still brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat, just like it did 35 years ago when i first "met" you through your books. thank you for being vulnerable and honest and refreshing. thank you for writing again.....flutemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968922536825651089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2003236846802251050.post-9724074160015968622009-08-11T13:11:45.523-07:002009-08-11T13:11:45.523-07:00I Love how you write Ann!
