Welcome to the Abba’s Heart eBeat, the monthly eNews from Abba’s Heart Ministries and the Revival Center. Read on to be informed and inspired about what God is doing!
Happy Birthdays, Martin and Sandi!
We are sending out the eBeat a little earlier this month so that you will have an opportunity to send birthday greetings and blessings to Martin on the 11th and to Sandi on the 15th! Little Grandbaby Abel turned one on April 4, so there is a lot to celebrate this month.
Querin Family Update
We are all doing well. Very well. Continuing on. Missing our Dark Eyed boy, but content in knowing he is happily offering up his golden crown to The Holy One. This grief comes in waves... at times unbearable, but then the Lord comes rushing in and makes it all better. Thank you so much for your help; for all your wonderful help. I have gotten away to the beach a couple times and the pounding of the waves brought strength through their tumultuous display of yielding to God. We are all back to work and pushing through, thanks for the prayers... We are walking in the midst of them. All the notes of encouragement have been beyond incredible and truly have displayed to each of us the amazing power of a living God in people who will yield.
A viewing of Donny's memorial service is in the works for the website. We’ll send out a notification when it is available.

Mother's Love
Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them:
I loved you enough to ask where you are going, with whom, and what time you would be home.
I loved you enough to insist that you save your money and buy a bike for yourself even though I could afford to buy one for you.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a jerk.
I loved you enough to make you pay for the toy you had taken and tell the clerk' "I stole this yesterday, and I want to pay for it."
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children should know that their parents aren't perfect.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the penalties were so harsh, they almost broke my heart.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it. … Those were the most difficult battles of all. I am glad I won them, because in the end, you won too. And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.
Spiritual Body Builders
We are currently studying John 21 and Psalms 28-31. The first Monday in April, start reading Psalms 32-36. If you would like to be a Spiritual Body Builder, contact our office for a brochure with instructions, or download it by going to the link below. Recordings of many of the discussions are available in the Audio/Video Media System. The Body Builder scriptures are the basis for the Wednesday Night Bible Study, which is taught by Rev. Sandi Querin.

Matthew 6:28-34
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Queen Camp!
Queen Camp 2009 was amazing! We have opened registration for 2010. The cost is $395.00 per person, and a non-refundable $50 deposit will hold your spot.
We are anticipating a very special time again at the beautiful Tenaya Lodge. It is such a blessing to worship the Creator in the midst of all the natural wonder of that area. As always, the retreat will be filled with worship, life-changing messages from God’s Word, powerful prayer times, fun, great food, plentiful chocolate, and amazing interaction with godly women. Spend Saturday afternoon in a cozy fireplace area, getting pampered in the spa, riding horses, hiking, soaking in the jacuzzi, or enjoying a long, snoozy nap. Maybe you will be the Queen for a Day and get all the great benefits that go with that. For those building a library of Christian resources, we will have some inspiring books for sale, as well as your favorites.
Register early and start making payments of $65 a month so that you won’t have the “I Can’t Afford It Blues” on October 5 when the full amount is due.
To register online, visit www.abbasheart.com/registrations.asp, or you can call Dora in the ministry office at 559-897-9575, Mondays-Wednesdays.
