STONE THIRTY-TWO: A STONE OF SUFFICIENCY 2 Corinthians 3:3-5 God commands us to leave “an inheritance to our children's children” (Proverbs 13:22) I want to leave an inheritance to my grandchildren of knowing God and loving God and serving God not just a financial inheritance. May God supply their needs as He did our for college educations, newer cars and needed repairs around the house. I want to leave my grandchildren an inheritance of faith in Jesus Christ who has always been my best Friend, my help in times of trouble, my Healer, my Deliverer, my Redeemer and my Salvation from all the trials I have had to face in this journey of life. Through this book may they know me, My God and how believing, obeying and trusting Him is the answer. God has blessed us to bless others.
When we moved back to Tyler I met a wonderful lady, Judy, whose faith stretched my faith to the limits. She needed a couch and prayed God would supply one. Wow! I was mad at times because my husband was not buying this and that for our new home. She just prayed, and asked God to supply. I have learned I don't have to depend on my husband or anyone else to supply my needs but to go to Father God who supplies our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
My son, Kevin loved David Graham and he wanted to get an autograph the next day at the Eisenhower Golf Tournament held in Tyler. Pros came to help raise funds for scholarships. I said, "Kevin, God knows the desire of your heart to meet Mr. Graham so I know He will answer your prayer. I asked God to give you favor today. I took him to the golf course. Now you are not going to believe this. Kevin is standing in the crowd, all the sudden David Graham turns around points at Kevin in the crowd and says, "Come here young man and take this shot for me off the 1st green."

About the Book
Life gives us choices. When we know what’s right, JUST DO IT! These forty “stones” help you find that the right choices in life are much better. Wrong choices can keep our lives in turmoil and nothing will seem to ever go right.
This journey through my years of raising my children and growing up will help you too as you share my “stones”. Some “stones” will seem rough, others smooth and then there are those “stones” which will bring hard changes in your life. But if you throw down your stones, God will begin a work in your life to help you be who you were called to be.
There were times I felt like I was being stoned. Then other times I could find rest and peace in receiving these “stones”. Yet in all these “stones” you will see, as I did, that when I made the right choice to let God be God, I found these stones easy to lay down before a Holy God, knowing that no matter what was happening in my life God would be with me all the way.
God promises to never leave us or forsake us. Through these years and years of learning to walk in obedience and sacrifice I have grown up and found that God’s ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. It was not always easy, but it was a journey of a lifetime for me, with a God who loves me so much that He gave His life so we can all be over comers and not be overcome!
Now, follow me down this less-traveled path to find peace, joy, obedience, and sacrificial love, as you too begin to…..THROW DOWN YOUR STONES.
About the Author
This is my third book about my journey with God. I have now published three books. “TO KNOW HIM IS TO KNOW HIS NAMES” will teach you to know WHO GOD is to YOU! God tells us throughout scripture His names and attributes and this book give you 1,550 names and attributes. My second book is a Russian Phonics Song book for mission teams.
Now I am giving you a glimpse into my personal life as you read, “THROW DOWN YOUR STONES”. The years of raising my children, (and growing up myself!) touched the lives of many of my close friends. The things I‘ve learned and taught my children have helped us to grow up together and it will help you.
I teach a weekly Bible study in our local community. The first night we prayed that God would help the ladies get their kids fed and be able to faithfully attend the Bible class. God answered our prayers when the owner of “Wing Stop” provided free wings for us each Tuesday! God has been faithful through these past two years to answer many prayers. We serve a Faithful God! This group was the first to go through THROW DOWN YOUR STONES and even the teenagers started coming to share how it was helping them face another day at middle school, where kids are not always treated fair.
I also teach the International Sunday School Class at
OUR GOD WANTS US TO KNOW HIM!
