1Cor 15:58 Let nothing cause us to sway from doing God’s work. Ps 29:7-11

He calms our spirit with his strength and then gives us the strength to persevere (my paraphrase) Times may change but God never does. I am still in awe that we are in God’s business for  8 yrs in a Domestic Violence office empowering the start of that program and 27 yrs   having designed Clear Dome Ministry=34 yrs total. God is amazing.

 

The year of 2016 for CDM consisted of Spiritual & physical miracles.

Some of our people seem to forget that it’s not God who causes the trauma in our lives; however, they get angry with Him instead of Satan. Satan is the one who confuses our thinking purposely to run/ruin our lives.

We all need to recognize God 1st and not be angry at Him, rather be angry at Satan and his powers and principalities.

Eph 6: 10-18. This will give you the power to fight the attacks, pray this daily and the trials won’t stop but will be much less. It continues to be a proven fact in all our lives that use this as a daily prayer.

 

In January of 2016 I resigned from my post as President of Missions throughout the 9 State areas.

 

I have been Conference President and VP for 19 years. I believe I have accomplished what God intended for me to do there. I have met many beautiful Missionaries and Conference people along the way and have made lifelong friends. God has blessed me in so many areas that I cannot even fathom However, I am still doing Missions Outreach for our Olive Branch Homeless Shelter in Chicago. I am the liaison to deliver many needed items to the shelter several times a year. Some things go to the shelter others go to Africa. It is a blessing to so many. I am also the local President for our Church’s Missions Outreach and am blessed by how God does so much with so little.

 

Missions

 

The same month after I share my resignation God had already set another plan in motion. I was introduced to local chapter for Concerned Women for America last winter.

CWA gives us a better understanding of how to pray for our State of Illinois Government as well as our Country. CWA is a National Association originally stated and run by Beverly LaHaye, until she retired. She kept an office in Washington DC to maintain lobbying for Christian Women’s issues. I believe Nancy Hance has taken her place. Due to my involvement, I have been blessed to share my Holocaust/refugee story to area Churches and at a CWA conference. Plus in my own garden and for the VFW; and also I have shared the Hungarian Christmas traditions with the Magnet School to 321 fascinated children. I will also be speaking after our Memorial Day parade next spring. I have learned and will continue to learn many things from this Mission outreach. Phil 1:6 God isn’t finished with me yet (my paraphrase).

 

In Counsel

 

CDM of course has all of our people with some type of emotional distress or trauma. Sometimes misplaced by using idols; such as cutting, actively doing drugs, sexual addiction, and hording from being raised poor. I have dealt with practicing prostitutes who needed to learn to trust God in order to get out of that lifestyle. Some need drama to gain attention while others need to learn how to be spiritual leaders. Some need to be empowered to be encouragers instead of take each other for granted. Some live in confusion and are constantly overwhelmed by everything in their lives and just need to head in a direction and have a plan of action set with them. While there are others running from life and need to recognize that God is always there within them and they have nothing to fear.  There are others that just need to vent and be heard and have stability in the Bible. Then there are some who are learning to deal with Attention Deficit Disorder with their children. Then there is the constant instability and domestic violence.

 

I have some that are ready for a nervous breakdown from free floating anxiety. There are also the ones who feel entitled and have no idea what hardship is yet feel robbed. Our Country IS so spoiled. I have teens that have been adopted and have no gratitude to their parents and are testing the waters by coming up with the idea of becoming a Satan worshiper or Trans gender. The parents become overwhelmed as to how to handle these situations. Through God’s word everything has to be handled in love, His love. Parents get angry but forget that children test them to see how far they, as children can go and get away with anything possible. Whether its children or adults all they want is to get a reaction and a sick pay off from their families. It’s up to God to direct the outcome. All of us need God’s love and need to know why Jesus came so that we can have life more abundantly. We need to love them where they’re at and steer them in the way they should go. The power of prayer is amazing but we need to leave it in God’s hands and LISTEN when the Holy Spirit is directing us.

 

In Closing

 

CDM appreciates all the prayers and financial support from everyone all over the country. You are such a blessing including our volunteers who give so much of their time to serve the cause of Christ; especially our tech, accountant and attorney. They work feverishly to keep us looking professional and also calm my spirit when I need to vent. You know ever us counselors need someone to talk with. I praise God for each and every one.

 

I want to make sure everyone is aware that CDM does phone counseling all over the United States, besides meeting people at the point of there need and driving to where ever the need is besides doing office appointments. We also share in conferences and for post Holocaust survivors as well. We share the victory of Jesus and how He protects His own. CDM is here for emergency needs when a client is in crisis.

 

We praise God for all of you and our financial books are open upon request.
