Hi Everyone,

A new beginning has arrived in my life. Over the years I have learned that opportunities are usually waiting around the corner of your obedience to God's call and will for your life. I have just written my first book and the exciting tales of God's love, power, and protection are being set up for printing at the publisher at this very moment. Some time has passed since writing on my blog but here I am once again feeling the excitement of accomplishment.  God is waiting for you and He will bless your obedience to the dreams He has placed in your heart. As soon as the book comes on the market I will let you know. Until then be blessed and discover the adventure that waits for your obedience to God's call in your life. Dale (tigi)

To be remembered well is a great thing. If there were an opportunity to write on my own grave site, the words would be like this. She lived her life for Father God.

"I would like that."

Life, I have come to learn, is a journey lived each day. It is made up of finding the way to overcome, press forward, move on from the past, as we make waves toward accomplishing new dreams and doing new things. However the roads and roadblocks we face during our trips can be rough and destructive. So prepare for the hard part of the journey and get on with it. Living for God is worth every trip you take to learn His ways.

A wise minister once said, "Don't live in the past good or bad." This stuck with me,but in a time of crisis I regret not being in the place to live by this attitude. So, after suffering pain almost too great to bear, I finally learned the lesson. Live for today enjoying it, let what cannot be changed go and plan for the future as you pray about how to move towards your dreams or repair the broken ones left in the after math of the storms of life.

My life with God and serving Him by serving His people and the desperate strangers in the world has been for me, a life of adventure. There was never a thing God asked me to do that I was trained for or not uncomfortable doing in the beginning. But, when I trusted God with all my heart and acted on what I believed, the experience of seeing God move in mighty ways to help me move in His path and power, overwhelmed me and others.

God is great and greatly to be praised. We are totally the sum of all we experience in our journeys. Physical, spiritual, and even emotional upsets are all included. In all ways we must remember, journeys have pasts that we can ignore. If we do, it is to our peril. Learn you lessons and move on, let go, and let God fix you. Life then becomes a discovery of journeys that change you into a better person.

Be blessed my friends. Take a journey. Remember well, today is gone when tomorrow appears. Make the most of where you are and live for Jeshua, He is our all in all. Dale Davis (Tigi)

Hey friends,

I am sitting in my office listening to the rain. Being with God today has been good. It is so amazing, when we focus on Him, we find peace and harmony to our souls.

It is my greatest desire that each one find what they are hunting in their lives. Sometimes the stress of life takes our strength, it is then that we must speak the Word as we walk in His plan for that day. Cease the moment folks. There may not be another like it. So enjoy each day, hoping for the future. Life gives us pain sometimes but God gives us power, love, and a sound mind. I challenge you to seek Him who made us with your whole heart. Knock on the door of God's heart He will hear you. He is more than able to bring us up to find the certain place where we belong. God bless you and be blessed. Tigi

This photo was taken at the place in Israel which is quoted to be the tomb of Jesus. Of course we all know that many sites in Israel could be, or are, perhaps? The thing is not that it is, but that it is similar to what Christ would have been laid in, only to rise from the dead to ascend to God His Father.

I am making this blog short today. I want to lift each one of you up by sharing this quote given to me by a dear friend named Sandy. My reason is to remember those whom God touched during my journey of life both here and abroad.

"May the roads rise to meet you, may the winds be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand!"

I have met so many people on my journeys in life and I must say my this quote as my prayer for each one, for they are important to God and to me. I love the world and all that God has given to me on each journey long or short, my life was changed in so many ways. I will not forget one soul touched by the love of God. To remember is good and to know that Jesus laid down His life and rose again for each one of us. May you find that faith in your heart to believe in the Messiah Jeshua Jesus Christ our Lord. Bless you all in His glorious name.

Wandering Rose,
Tigi

Well all you out there who read my blog, I am quite ashamed for not writing sooner but life has been filled with taking care of parents and my husband who has had both knees operated on since May.

It is quite interesting to see how time goes by as we move in the directions our lives take us, but know this; time will go by and time will tell what we are made of. We are living in a season where many of us find unsure feelings about the future. This I know as many of you do, we must look up to God who is our Lord and provider. He and He alone will be there for us in the darkest of dark times.

I have traveled the world in dangerous places and found myself having nothing more than God and His precious Word to rely on. Father God has never failed me nor will He ever, not be there for us. God is a Spirit being that we can touch with our spirits, the inner man. Take heart, all your out there and dream on and learn to trust Him with all your heart, leaning not to your own understanding, and calling on His name in times of trouble and also in times of good and plenty.

Proverbs 3:5-6 has always been my favorite scripture and has taken me in and out of places where God has had me, unhurt and filled with the joy that comes from being in His perfect will for your life. God bless and keep on preparing and praying and playing in God's timing. He is good and nothing can take us from Him, so do not move from that which He gives you, His Word.

God be with you always,
Tigi

When I think of painting I think of God. He painted the sky blue with puffs of white tinted with blues and pinks and sometimes grays. The rivers and the seas the most amazing greens, blues, and turquoises then touched the edges of the sea with white foam and graced the waves with a rolling white hiding underneath the greens we love.

Then he doused the flowers with the most amazing blends of colors and trimmed the plants and trees with green. Where in the world can we match God's colors? Do you think there will be many new colors in heaven? I often think this, for God is the creator. Perhaps it will be just deeper richer hues of the colors, but this we know ; it will be beautiful and beyond description.

I truly think that it will be the opening of our eyes to more than we ever dreamed when we get to heaven, for heaven is described as perfect and with no tears or fears or wars or pain. How can we imagine this world? Hard right? But what a wonderful place to be. All is well on the home front with a successful surgery and a lovely Christian Doctor who gives God the great doctor. He is creator, healer, and comforter. Come to Him He will give you rest.. I had to do that this week being a 24 hour caretaker of a man after surgery.

I thank God for all who prayed with us and for us. Bless you my dears and remember to paint the Word of God in your heart with the paint brush of life.. You are the canvas for God and He is painting your life with that which you seek according to His will. He will give you paint from His Word to paint your life.. so go to the Bible and find the way the truth the life and watch your life change before you eyes.

God bless from the wandering gypsy rose girl, Tig

Will you look at these lovely meals spread on the pit and the table, fit for a queen. Amen and amen. There is nothing more delightful than an amazing meal prepared in love for friends. Would you not agree?

The meal on the table was prepared by our natural family in the Alsace of France. The one on the pit was being prepared in Spain on a church picnic but it is the the one in France I will talk about tonight. Just wanted to tempt you with all this good food..

A wonderful story of the leading of the Lord is connected to this meal on the table and many more meals were served in our stay just like it. Delicious and shared by all in the harmony of good Christian friends who are sharing a common goal to take the world to its place in Christ. Is there anything better? Well, heaven will be but we are not there yet. So lets enjoy all we can while on earth.

Food seems to be connected to love in so many ways.
Food also gives one the strength or power we may say to make it through the day. God is good to give us food to eat and good food cannot be compared to junk food. By now means. So why do we try to get power in fast food? Of course food is not our greatest power, the Word of God and name of Jesus is the glorious power that changes lives. There is power in the blood of Jesus the Bible says and over and over again my life in Christ has proven how good He is and how much He loves His children. It was on a rainy evening that God helped me,through much determination, to find this champ d' hote ( a bed and breakfast we Americans call it). It would be here in this great house that I was to discover a great secret. Hidden away in this huge house which once was a bakery and later a restaurant, were people who had found the Spirit of God in a small Catholic village. They were praying for Christians to come by their home to share the gospel.

The small village was in an area torn by the second world war, yet so quaint. Who was to know that a phone call handled by a friend in Switzerland would lead me to find some of the family that had married into my family in the 1800's. And to make it more wonderful these very people were believers in Christ as Savior and were hungry to know more and offered their home to hold teaching meetings. IT was here that the call of God to preach in France came to pass for me. I was to meet my family and be touched by God's amazing way to take you from America across Spain in a rent car into Switzerland to minister then onward to France to find some of my fathers side of the family but to minister and find life long relationships waiting to surprise me.

I am often amazed when I find how easy it is to follow the spirit of God into the very deepest place He may be wanting you to go. He leads we follow, but if we do not obey then we miss so much. God never ceases to amaze me in the midst of the storms of life. He is always there watching and waiting for us to find Him and get whisked away in His safe arms. How safe I felt in that tiny village surrounded by lovely colored houses and gardens like none I had seen in America. Every ones house looked like a small park filled with lush flowers of all colors and arranged so neatly. It was here that I knew the love of flower gardens had come in my grandmothers.

Come away and spend time with friends over lovely meals.. oh how I wish I was there now speaking and determining how and what needs to be said in love.. love is a wonderful language and it speaks loudly when you give it away.. God bless you all and sorry have not been on line.. Roger my husband is having knee surgery and in six weeks will do the second one then we will be visiting the world together.
