Overview of the Existence of the Halo Ministries

 

There is a saying, "when God closes a door, He opens another window."  In order for this page to ring true, permit me to share an overview of how the "Halo Ministries" came into existence.

 

I believe with all my heart that God uses people for His purpose.  People are given unique talents and abilities.  [Genesis 1:26]  My talents and/or abilities may differ from your talents and/or abilities.  Within any church, "God has set some ..., first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."  I Corinthians 12:28

 

In my youth, I enthusiastically worked in the church as a youth leader [C.A. President], etc.  With the coming years, I continued to use my talents, to the best of my abilities, and, thus, realized that perhaps God was pleased with what I was able to give to Him via my every-day life and/or service to the church.  I realize that conflicts in one's life do arise; however, I never understood why some of my abilities could not be utilized within the framework of a certain group.  Also, at that time, I continued to realize that I did have talents and/or abilities even though I could not understand why my talents and/or abilities were not being utilized. 

 

In the 1980's I began to write.  The Christian poetry reveals some of the struggles in my life; but, most of all, my abiding faith in God and the thankfulness that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord that has paved the road to heaven.  [John 3:16]  I now realize, as a dear sister-in-Christ once stated, "not everybody is going to like you."  The question: "is Jesus pleased with me?"

 

One day while attending a Bible study in a church that was conducted by the youth pastor, Acts 2:18 became extremely real to me.  The Holy Spirit is an important great Person of the Holy Trinity.  His Guidance [Psalm 32:8] is ever so necessary for "the Work of the Ministry".  Through prayer and Bible reading, God, via His Spirit, does direct one's everyday life [referring to the everyday living that includes the aspect of the important spiritual life; namely, the relationship between God and mankind].

 

The Christian life is not always "a path strewn with roses" because the thorns, or pain in life, is experienced by mankind.  I gratefully continue with the awesome talent of writing that was bestowed upon me over the years and, perhaps, years to come.

 

What does the future hold?  I know who holds the future!  Heaven will absolutely be awesome!  Perhaps in heaven I may write more poetry?  booklets?  articles?  Whatever - remember, the Glorious Eternity is Forever!"
