Incredible Update on the Tyra Show Guest!

For those of you that have watched, (or are about to watch) the Tyra Show today, here is an update on the amazing woman you all saw on the show.

The night before the taping, I "just so happened" to bump into her in the hotel lobby. We spent some really special time talking and praying together. I was won over by her tenacious spirit and her heart's cry to leave a life of prostitution behind. I could truly identify with so much of her pain.

On the show, she agreed to go to a one-month program in CA and we were all happy for the bold steps she was taking in her life.

After the cameras stopped rolling, more of this incredible story unfolded. I was at the airport, getting ready to head back to LA when she called me, saying that she felt a strong connection with me. She said really wanted to go to a faith-based program and asked if I knew of any other residential programs that could take her.

I immediately called my friend Julie with Beauty From Ashes and we were able to secure her a spot at the New Life Center there in FL!!!! This is a long-term, faith-based residential program with an 100% success rate of reuniting children with their mothers when custody has been lost.

I am so thrilled to report that today, more than a month later, this incredible young woman is still in the program and thriving! The journey ahead of her will take commitment, but I am fully convinced that she is equipped, ready and able to conquer what lies ahead of her in God's strength! I know that He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask, think or imagine!

Love, harmony

Romance with the King

A Treasures for You: The Treasures E-devotional

ROMANCE WITH THE KING

Our King wants to romance each one of us. Are you allowing Him?

In Isaiah 54, the Lord proclaims, "For your Maker is your husband...for the Lord has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a youthful wife when you were refused."

Unlike man, He will never leave you or reject you. He is pursuing your heart and loves you just as you are…today…in this moment. He is not waiting until you are perfect to enter a romance with you and to pour out His love. He wants you just as you are, right now, with every concern, baggage, and worry.

Spend some intimate time with Him this afternoon. He wants to fill you with His goodness and loving kindness. Let's make today that marker of entering a romance with our King. Let's put aside all our distractions, worries and concerns, bring them to the foot of the cross, and worship the Lover of our Soul, for He is worthy.

Love you and praying that He whispers delightful promises of His everlasting kindness to you today!

Onward!
