A Car From Heaven - By Nancy Cleavinger It was a hot, very hot August day as I stepped out the front door to walk to work a mile away.

Is He Just the Beginning and the End? - By Cheryl Goforth
Friday morning, as I was taking the Little Man to school, I was talking with the Holy Spirt and He reminded me that He is the Alpha and Omega. (A reference to the first letter and the last letter in the Greek alphabet) He is the beginning and the end, but as the Spirit revealed...He is everything in between!

A Rare Moment - By Cheryl Goforth
The view from our living room picture window reminds me of a postcard. Snow covered ground. Ice and snow grace every branch of every tree and bush. The sky is a wintery gray and predicitons of a warming are just a hope, not a reality.

FYI - We've Partnered

Just an FYI to all writers and readers. We have partnered with another ministry at COTR to encourage you through the testimonies of those who have received healing.

When my husband and I were desiring a deeper walk with God, we were encouraged to trust God through the testimonies of others, especially testimonies of physical healing. There is just something about hearing the good news of God's healing power in people who are just like you and I...people who we might even know or recognize their faces or names.

Testimonies of healings not only build up the faith to believe God for a personal healing, but also to believe Him in every aspect of life. This partnering will be in symphony with our desire to help reach, relate, restore and release women to live a Kingdom life.

Writers, look for more information through email. To contact us: http://cotrwomensministry@gmail.com

A Flurry of Friends - By Cheryl Goforth Mother was a unique woman, and so were her friends. They were truly like a tapestry, even though they were a rather wild looking tapestry.
