Lorey family update

Not Much new on our end it is geting cold here in iowa. our heat had stopped working but our apartment manger got it back on thank God becasue those days with out heat was very much cold LOL.

Christian and my self are doing ok For Christmas my husbands mother is coming back from AZ she will be moving back here to iowa and so for Christmas she will be spending it with just my husband,my self and our three wonderful Cats, it should be a good time and we are very blessed for all we have. God is a very Awesome God,

My husbands work cut hours way back so it is very hard for us to save for a car and the move to Spring Field MO we are so home sick and the reason i say home sick is becasue while iowa is where we was born and raised and is our Home, God called us to Spring Field Mo to be in full time Ministry me teaching the word and my husband in his music Ministry we have been down a few times and the people are so kind and loving there we long to be there big time and to get our place and set up his job and get every thing in order, We signed another years lease for this apartment but we hope we can get out of it by summer time and move to MO so keep praying over and for that.

As for the TTC news we prayed and asked God for a Miracle and still we havent had our Miracle baby it has been one big roller coster and battle for us but Gods in control and we need to keep the faith Always,

We have a new Niece on the way her name will be Sara gail she is due next year we are excited about her arivel.

That makes 6 of them three girls and three boys , Nieces and nephews 4 on my side and 3 on my husbands

Our three Cats Keep us busy and on our toes all of the time they are grate,

With out having a car we havent been able to get to church my husband has to walk every where in the cold please keep praying over a car for us we havent the money right now but we trust in the Good Lord for a miracle.

Ministry work is going grate as can be

You can check our ministry out on the web, http://www.rainbowkidsandbabys.org

And please pray for the kids with in our ministry thesse kids are troops for sure they are fighting Child hood illness's such as cancer, Hydro, heart defects ETC and more they are fighting each day to live and hold on to life and even in all of this they keep that smile on her faces we could all take a leason from them

and that is when life is hard you have to keep smileing and Praising GOD for every moment,

Life is a Gift for sure and it isnt to be wasted at all .

Anyways i will try to post again very soon

Giving God the Praise in time of Test

it has been a while since i have last update, if there is anything i have learned over the past few months or so is that we need to Praise God even when times of test and trail come our way, my husband and i have been in one big storm that we just can not seem to even get out of we are geting hit one after another.

the 1st big test of our faith is when i had got hit with the tumor in the Summer but as you also Know God cast that nasty tumor out and i had a word from the 700 club i would be heard PRAISE GOD when they went in they could not fine that tumor i was healed but that was a Big test to our faith,

as many Also Know God has been calling us to Spring Field MO to go in to Full time Ministry he is calling me a Shy person to come out of my shell and to teach and preach to woman, also my Husband in to full time Music Ministry. well not to long ago my mother inlaw who also seems to be having a very hard time and us thought we would go in to an Apartment together down in TX ( being selfish and knowing GOD did not call us to TX we tryed to move forward with that plan ) How ever long story short My husband got a Job interviw down in MO we jumped to fast and to soon he got the job and we was fixing on moving there on NOV 10th how ever before we even left MO our Van broke down we had no money to fix it and it would cost more then it was worth we took a gray hound buss back to iowa and with no car and no way to move we knew it had not been Gods timing we acted on our own Wants and Selfshness of wanting to get out of iowa and leave it behind and start our new lifes

we about lost our place to live as well, My husbands job cut his hours way back and our rent went UP we are having a very hard time and can not even save for a car yet my husband walks back and forth in the Cold and has to walk to the store no one offers us rides infect family dont have much to do with us any more.

it hasnt been easy my husband has been praying some one would have the heart to buy or give us a cheep car they do not need any longer or even a used 500 car i havent been praying this way but he has told me every day as he walks in the cold he prays he asked me if it was wrong i told him not at all becasue if God would lay it on some ones heart it would be ok then its not bad to ask God for things we need,

And of Course the test of us not being able to have our own child or to adopt due to the cost of money it takes to adopt.

Things have been a very hard road for us

sure i could say give up toss the towl in and who cares about the calling GOD placed over us, but the truth is that would be taken MANS WAY OUT no instead i will keep praising GOD in good and in bad times i will praise God in test and trail and with every strom that blows in to our life.

becasue it is in those moments we are hurting the most that we can learn alot from God he has showed me how short life turly is and that with each test and trail it is a chance to grow in our walks with Christ.

you see God don't want us to give up he wants us to stay in there and reach for that Goal he set before us and at the end his arms will open wide and he will say well done my child. those are the words i wish to here when one day i step out of this world and in to Gods kingdom, we need to stay in this Walk with God it takes alot of Faith and leaning on him and trusting in Him but God will always meet our needs one way or another we praise GOD becasue we know some how some where there will be a car for us and we Praise HIM becasue we trust my husbands pay will go up we will have a child and things will look better we praise HIM even if it dont but we trust In him for all things acording to his Will not our own.

may God Bless

We are moving to TX

Well our lifes is yet taken a turn we had planed to move to springfield mo and while that will still happen in a year or 2 years but God is opening a door for us to move down to TX 1st my husbands mom 1 of his sisters 2 of his brothers and some couisns and a aunt and uncle all live down there his mom isnt happy where she is in AZ and so moving to TX we are not happy in iowa anylonger, his mom and us will be spilting the cost of a apartment and living down there this will save us and her some money we can put back in savings and help us all since she and us is hardly making it but the bigest reason for this move is becasue for us and i think even her we need a big Change with in our lifes we are unhappy where we live now and also unhappy with the way our life is going. for my husband and i in Des moines iowa ( we have lived here all our lifes in iowa ) but since my dad died in 2004 and most all my husbands family moved to TX and my own family not speaking or having anything to do with us we are just un happy and we are not geting a head like we had hoped we are far from that we believe God has open up this door and we will be taking it.

While many people could tell us a thousons of reasons not to move i say why not take the risk why not live our life instead of always seting here stressed and unhappy ? as long as we live the life and take the path in life God lays out before us then we cant go wrong with that.

this move will happen june of 2009 to late may it depends on Gods timing we are saving the money and placen it back .

we are excited about this move

Please keep us all in prayer

thanks

Gods amazing designe

Our three Wonderful Babies Bell is the black and white cat she is 3 years old then there is Eli ( short for Elijah ) who is just now 4 months old then there is Ephron short for Ephram who is 4 months old No that is not the momma cat and they are not brother cats we got them all at DIF times they keep us bussy.

My husband took this photo of me by Easter lake when the sun was seting we love the sunset.

i took this of my husband

i took this photo of the sunset over easter lake i was speachless how could any one look at it and not believe that there is a God and that he was the one who made all of this ?

again i took this photo of the sunset at easter lake again God always amazes me/

How Could Any one Look at the above photos i was blessed to take at easter lake and say it just happen by the big bang and that there was not God ? when i stand there watching the sunset i am amazed and lost for words i get speachless and cant help but think Of how awesome our God turly is. ( i did add a few photos of our cats i could not help but show off our Kids they are just like our kids ) Anyways God is so awesome and every thing that he has made is wonderful he don't make JUNK. ALL things even people are made by Design ( God made them ) he is the gratest Designer i know i could be in a room with a million People who all Designed somthing and ask to vote im sure that all there designes would be neat becasue GOD made the person who designed what ever it is they designed BUT if i was asked to vote by far i would say GOD was the gratest designer ever look in to a newborn babies eyes and see how new they are ? or a child with a big smile on there face a old person who lived a very long life your self ?

Ever go to the zoo and see some amazing things ? the sky the heavens the green earth GOD Designed it all .

Once my husband and i was at the blank park zoo and this BIG lion kept looking right at me i was amazed and of course i snaped some photos but he kept looking at me ( i was amazed by this Lion and of course he was amazed by me ( or he was hungery and wanted Lunch LOL ) either way he was one awesome Lion i kept thinking of how GOD said the lion will lay down with the lamb i do not know why this played over and over again in my head as i looked in to the Lions eyes i also thought of JESUS our KING of KINGS ( this Lion was a KING there was to other Lions with him but both of them was girl lions and he was the KING he set up on this BIG old ROCK as if he was the leader i imagend jesus seting at the right hand of the father. and what it most be like or look like i dont think we turly could imagen that but i sure tried to .

While i was looking at this LION in such amaze my husband said Honey LOOK as i looked over there was another CAT in another area who also was looking at me now the zoo was ready to close so it was only my husband and i standing there being amazed by all of this again this BIG CAT kept looking at me to i was amazed so now i had a lion and another cat just looking at me was they amazed by me being a person ? maybe well then again maybe they was thinken they was hungery and wanted a GOOD Stake Dinner and if they could only get there hands ON ME they would be eating good HAHA LOL ok so maybe they was not thinken that at all in truth we just can not turly know what they was thinken who knows maybe they was amazed by me just as much as i was by them i did not want to leave that moment at all but it was time to go the zoo was closing before leaving we went past the grown HOG who at one point stood up on his behind lags and looked right at me in the eyes again i found my self amazed by all of this and i thought how could any one think they just came about one day from nothing ? they are GODS DESIGNES HIS ART WORK thats right they are and we are GODS ART wow there you have it

What is your thoughts on this ?

Enclosed below is a few photos of the Lion and the other cat who was looking right at me may you be just amazed as i was.

Here is the mighty Lion who kept looking at me the day

At the zoo his mouth is opened so maybe he did want dinner

Again the awesome lion he was so very neat and cool i would

take him home if i could haha

He was the King up on that rock by him self

you could just tell he he is a King

while looking at the lion this other cat was also

Looking at me i just happen to get his photo he

or she was also very cool

Gods Call on our life

A photo of my husband and my self with out our eye glass's on at easter lake Sep 2008

Many of you know that God has placed a big call on our lifes, Yes while i do run rainbow kids and babys prayer Ministry ( http://www.rainbowkidsandbabys.org ) and that has and will not change God is calling us to do big things,

My husband has a Gift to sing and write his own Music and i have a gift to teach ( preach ) God is calling us down to Spring field MO we wanted to move this year but God held plans off for a while so goal is 2009, Every time i would teach or talk ETC people told me i was like joyce meyers and could have a Ministry like hers one day of course i never listin to them thinking why would God use me in that way ? i kind of ignord it. Well one day God gave me a word and my husband asked if you can do this for me how come you are not telling others that ( well he said somthing along those lines anyways i cant remeber it fully ) but that is when it HIT me and God spoke to me that he had a much biger plan he was going to take ME Some one who is very much SHY and place me in to Ministry i am to teach the WORD i never Question GOD on this at all for a few years now he has been giving me teachings to write, but never did i imagen it would even get to the point he would call me to teach in a church, ( no i do not want the title of pastor ) i do not believe i could lead a church im not a leader more then i am a teacher of the word, i believe My Ministry could grow much like joyce meyers and NO i do not want to be Joyce meyers i want to be APRIL LOREY ( who God made me to be ) i do know of many other woman who is called to Teach with out being pastors , im excited on what way God Will take us in this Ministry, Gods Calling is strong and one that was not just thought of in a day God has been speaking to us since 2005 on the move we would make to Spring field at that time we did not even know WHY, it wasnt until this year that GOD SPOKE the reason for the move and that was for me to teach and for my Husbands music he showed us the church we would go to while down there ( Faith Assmbley of God church ) how ever we did not even know if it was a real church until we looked it up on the intetnet and contacted the pastor WOW.

Then God BACKED IT UP in his word , then he confrimed it in so many ways and people . With hardly Any support from our family And those who think becasue we have not yet made the move that we will never do it and that we was all talk IT STILL WILL HAPPEN and we still plan it but things came up this year like the Tumor Satan tryed to place in my tummy and GOD healed that then the flood came and distoryed our new car, You could Say satan was at work But GOD is much biger and his plans will happen in our life

We do not know where money might come from but my husband found out he may be moving up on the job he might be coming Manger about time and we thank GOD for this that means his pay will go UP PRAISE BE TO GOD, that means more money to save and put back for the spring/early summer 2009 move We trust in our Lord God .

keep praying and may GOD bless

you

until next time April and Christian Lorey.

Our miracle

Well we are once again trying to set up a blog, we use my space a lot but hey it would be fun to try to also use blog i think anyways. Not much new with us My husband and i been keeping very busy with work,Ministry and our 3 cats that keep us on our feet, we take one day at a times, we are a christian family who yes faces many tests and trails in our life, we have been trying for 3 years and 11 months since the day we was married to have our own child, alot of stress and heart brakes and many let downs and failed test,the doctor put me on some drugs to help us have a child claimed was one of them and we had no ideal at the time but the very drug that was to help me have our own child would leave my body in such bad shape but we would not come to know that for a while, after a while and even trying to look in to adopting and having that fail on us i started to give up my dream of ever having birth children and also adopting children the road is a roller coaster you have good days and then the bad days hit you hard, My Dad had past away in NOV of 2004 he was only 49 years old his birthday is may 22ND 1955 Every year since dads death i go to the grave and let go of balloons in his memory

On this day may 22ND 2008 i set in a waiting room of the ER waiting to get done a dye test done as my ovary's had been having alot of pain for the past few years i had to fight my OB even allow them to let me have this test done in my mind i hoped and prayed maybe after 3 years i would also find out the reason we was unable to have children my own mind i thought maybe one of my tubes was part blocked but not fully . Boy was i wrong nothing could ever prepare us for the news that was about to hit us ,

The doctor who did the dye test came in and said Your tubes are blocked and very badly damaged and you have a Enlarged tumor , my 1st Question as you can imagine is was this tumor cancer ? and thank GOD it was not cancer , but that is all i knew about the tumor at the time ,

after a few days or so we called our OB and gave us no info on the tumor gave us no hope and told us there was nothing she can do for us we had to go to a doctor that is not coverd and would cost tones of money , So we looked for a 2nd OB and GOD lead us to one he told us that the tumor i had was a fibroid tumor ( yes many woman can get these ) mine was not cancer Mine how ever was very Big and enlarged this meaning it could do alot of Damaged to my womb and other organs ( we did not have much family support ) no one to lay hands on us and pray or show they cared other then a few family members who happen to live in CALIF and not close by,

let me tell you when you get told you have a tumor i do not care if it is cancer or not this news hits you hard and it makes you take a long look at your life and how you have lived it and you have questions such as have i done all i can do for the Lord ? i never question GOD at all i put my trust in him and learned what it meant to 100% fully trust HIM because i could not trust the doctors at all i knew God if so could choose to heal me ,

my husband called Church's around the area who prayed he called ministry's like the 700 club and other programs to pray for us and he even laid his hands on me him self to pray i always felt such a heat go throw me. one day while watching the 700 club they had back to back words one was the woman who has a fibroid tumor is being healed the tumor is GONE i calmed it then the 2nd word was a woman's tubes are being opened and she will have a baby i calmed that to in July of 2008 my doctor wanted to take alook at the tumor so i had a sugary while i was in the recovery room he talked to my husband and told him

My tumor was GONE and my tubes wasn't BLOCKED the tubes was twisted and he went in and untwisted them he had no ideal how that happen but we did it was by the power of the LORD

We know and trust him now for our miracle baby and not just by birth we still would love to adopt daughters and sons from China and we trust that GODS will shell be done he didn't place being a mommy in my heart for nothing

I share this today with you because i hope it can bring some kind of hope to others facing the same as us ,

i will post as much as i can GOD BLESS

April and Christian from IOWA
