Embry is the newest rescue. His siblings and mother passed during labor on September 10, 2025. He was the lone survivor. To start with I was not sure how he was going to do because he didn’t want to take the bottle. I prayed over him and sang Jesus Loves Me to him. We had to get a preemie bottle with a small nipple to start with. It didn’t take too long for him to graduate to a bigger bottle and nipple. He loves jumping around and seeing how high he can jump. He loves going into the duck pin and chasing the ducks. Today he drank some water out of a water bowl. He brings lots of smiles.

Philippians 2:3–4 — “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” When most people picture leadership, they think of power, charisma, or control. But Kingdom leadership — servant leadership — looks different. It’s steady, faithful, and grounded in humility. Servant leadership isn’t weakness — it’s strength under submission. It’s the ability to lead with grace while standing firm in truth. It’s doing what’s right, not what’s loud. Think of Queen Elizabeth II. For seventy years she carried the weight of a nation with composure and faith. She never needed to demand attention — her quiet steadiness earned it. She modeled what it means to lead with dignity, consistency, and deep devotion to service. Or Ruth Bell Graham, wife of evangelist Billy Graham. She never stood on the big stages, but her influence shaped one of the most impactful ministries in modern history. Her strength was found in prayer, patience, and the quiet leadership of home. She reminded us that greatness often grows in hidden soil. Even in popular culture, you see this in women like Dolly Parton — a woman who built an empire without losing her kindness. She’s used her platform to give generously, educate children, and treat everyone like family. That’s servant leadership in action — using influence to lift others, not elevate self. And closer to our modern faith-based circles, Joanna Gaines models this beautifully — leadership through hospitality. She builds spaces where people feel seen, valued, and restored. Her design isn’t just in homes; it’s in hearts. Each of these women, in their own way, embody Philippians 2 leadership: valuing others above themselves, serving through grace, and influencing through love. That’s what true strength looks like. It’s not loud or self-promoting — it’s quietly faithful, grounded in character, and centered on purpose. 🎯 Challenge: Choose strength through softness today. Respond with peace instead of pressure.

Ladies I sure appreciate your patience this holiday season. Life became very intense for me in Az as I cared for my mom and then my Aunt getting in a car accident and also needing assistance. It was a test for me that I believe some days I did ok and other days I feel like I failed miserably. It was not on my bingo card but I had to learn quickly to play the hand I was given. I am still in Az for a few more weeks at least helping to get both ladies on the road to self sufficiency. Both are doing well. With that being said, I hope to be home sometime early Feb. I am debating revamping the Heaven Bible Study to a once a month Book Club and starting over so others can join in. The bible study “Hearing God” will be a 6 week study and I have the books with me here in Az now to mail out to those who are going to be participating and will do that this week. This will start also after I return. or feel free to dive into on your own. I apologize this didn’t get started in Nov. I am going to hopefully get back to diving into the community and posting more regularly after this week. A lot going on with a lot of driving. Thanks Ladies… I really want to start a coffee chat where everyone can hop on and meet everyone so we can connect with each other. stay tuned on that. Blessings, Becky
