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!
Querin Family Update
How do you breathe when the air has become so heavy? How can your voice be heard when the waves crash on the shore demanding to be reconciled with the sand? How could it be that when tears are spent, hope is gone and the flame of future has been extinguished, that there is still joy? Joy unspeakable and full of Glory! It is because He IS. The King of Glory is still the King. King of our pain, trouble, trial, healing, triumph and victory! The King of everything. We thank you Lord that our condition doesn't change Your condition. No, not for a moment.
Martin and I are doing very well. We are trying to figure out what life looks like without a son down here... but the Lord is our strength and stay in it.
Cynthia takes small bites of her pain and seems to be digesting them well. It is hard to lose a brother that was a soul-mate. Omar and Abel are her constant reminders that life, most definitely "goes on" and we are glad for that.
Amy... sweet Amy. Our gift from Donny and the Lord. She is moving "full steam ahead," afraid of nothing and embracing the challenges and opportunities that come her way. She is an amazing adventure to watch and love!
Here's a quote from Donny that may help those of you who are struggling with change. Life is full of change right now... for many.
One week before Donny left, he said, "The only unchanging thing in life is that life changes! It is ironic that tenacity and one's grip on
the future are so valued by our society when it is so obviously uncontrollable!"
Mother's Day was a wonderful time for me. I appreciate all the cards and gifts that were sent to me for Mother’s Day and for my birthday; you are all so amazing and precious; I appreciate you.
Psalm 62:5-7 "My soul waits silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense and I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my Glory. The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God."

Don’t Be Afraid
(There are endless stories of American courage and inspiration to share for Memorial Day, but this one remains a favorite war story. To all who have served our country, or lost a loved one for the sake of our freedom: THANK YOU!)
Whenever the king of Aram was fighting against Israel, he asked for advice from his officers about where they were to camp.
So the man of God would send a message to the king of Israel, “Be careful not to go by that place. The Arameans are hiding there.” Then the king of Israel would send someone to the place that the man of God told him about. Elisha warned them so that they would be on their guard. He did this repeatedly.
The king of Aram was very angry about this. He called his officers and asked them, “Won’t you tell me who among us is a spy for the king of Israel?”
One of his officers answered, “No one, Your Majesty. Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel everything you say—even what you say in your bedroom.”
The king said, “Find out where he is. Then I will send men to capture him.”
The king was told, “He is in Dothan.” So the king sent horses and chariots and a large fighting unit there. They came at night and surrounded the city.
When the servant of the man of God got up in the morning and went outside, he saw troops, horses, and chariots surrounding the city. Elisha’s servant asked, “Master, what should we do?”
Elisha answered, “Don’t be afraid. We have more forces on our side than they have on theirs.” Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes so that he may see.” The Lord opened the servant’s eyes and let him see. The mountain around Elisha was full of fiery horses and chariots.
As the Arameans came down to get him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike these people with blindness.” The Lord struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked. Elisha told them, “This isn’t the way! This isn’t the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you’re looking for.” So he led them into Samaria. When they came into Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men, and let them see.” The Lord opened their eyes and let them see that they were in the middle of Samaria.
When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Master, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”
Elisha answered, “Don’t kill them. Do you kill everyone you take captive in combat? Give them food and water. Let them eat and drink. Then let them go back to their master.”
So the king prepared a great feast for them. They ate and drank, and then he sent them back to their master. After this, Aramean troops didn’t raid Israel’s territory anymore.

Proverbs 30:7-9
"Two things I ask of you, O LORD;
do not refuse me before I die:
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, 'Who is the LORD?'
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.”

Queen Camp!
Queen Camp 2010 will be here before we know it! 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 now and start making payments of $80 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.
