To the Most ONE-derful People I Know!
Blessings to each of you on this blessed day 11-11!!!! Many of you know my many 1111 stories and have some of your very own. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to write an update to you today and stay in touch. Since the numbers 111 and 1111 began in the year 2000, I have called it the number of alignment…being in the right place at the right time… extended to being with the right people for the right purposes and doing the right thing. Just seems like a right number. It is the number of oneness, unity, and wholeness. The number 11 is regarded by some as the number of the paradigm shift… not 10 with its measure of fullness and not 12 and its meaning of Divine government. Eleven is a number of transition and some of us feel like we are stuck there in the midst of change. Some we like and some we don’t.
Such change happened last week with the election of Barack Obama. I do not and still do not feel he was the right choice. Like others, I felt the people demanded a king and they have elected one. Race was certainly the big issue and isn’t it interesting that the man who represented race relationships was Martin Luther KING. With respect to my black brothers and sisters in the church, I feel they erred in voting their race and ignored the liberal platform. I doubt Martin Luther King himself would have voted for Obama knowing his stance on abortion and same sex marriage.
I was grieved at the results and still remain saddened that many were so vulnerable and gullible. Too much has been exposed and covered up to enable Obama to charm his way into the oval office. Yet, I do believe God has a plan. The liberal media and press would have been a torment to McCain and Palin. Personally, I believe one of the ways the judgment of God comes is to let us have our way and reap the consequences of it. We’ll see what happens in the days ahead and just know that those who stood and voted for righteousness and the unborn are marked with favor and blessing in the midst of confusion and calamity.
For a long time I have felt the church needs a change in strategy. At times many are unnecessarily confrontational and it only strengthens the resolve and determination of the opposition. I believe we will find better results when we go undercover and underground, and come under the radar. Erosion happens underneath, not on the top fighting with the big boys. Now is the time to pray for the strategies needed and use the surprise power of secrecy and stealth. The church underground has untapped potentiality and does not need to wait for persecution. We can become the persecutors of the persecutors thru prayer and prophetic declarations and love.
Last week during the elections I spent several days near Mt Laurel/ Marlton, NJ with Pastor Jim and Shelly Mandel and their delightful church family. You can find their website at www.glorytothenations.org. We had wonderful meals together, including a night to a famous Brazilian steakhouse in downtown Philadelphia. I think I gained several pounds hanging out with that group.
Today as I write I am in Gettysburg/Chambersburg, PA. I was in the area last month when I spoke and returned this past weekend to participate in meetings with David and Becky Van Koevering. They are being hosted by several groups in the area and I have adjusted my plans to spend the entire week with them learning more about the quantum realm and how it relates to faith and healing. We have been having some awesome meetings and the interest and joy of discovery runs high. You can go to their website at www.elsewhen.com. I highly recommend their teachings and books and know you will be challenged and cheered as we learn about the true force of power behind what we see and say. I first met them two years ago when they spoke at a Quantum Leap conference in Coeur D Alene, ID and last summer was blessed to visit them in their home in Cleveland, TN. I greatly admire David and his knowledge and application to practical Christian living. And I especially admire Becky, his wife, for her courage and devotion to a sometimes “mad” scientist. You will be able to download some of their teachings from Elijah List. David is a quantum physicist and musicologist and has a collection of 200 instruments, old and new. He invented the original synthesizers and keyboards and holds 600 patents. It is rare to see a man of such brilliance also a humble follower of Jesus and lover of those he meets. We will also be talking more about the waters and the memory encoded in matter as I seek the Lord on understanding all that has been accomplished.
Yesterday, I was so excited to drive to Shippensburg, PA only 15 miles away and talk with Destiny Image Publications about writing and publishing my book(s). I will be doing lots of writing in the weeks ahead to meet some deadlines and publish the many stories of travel and His faithfulness. The lady I spoke with was overwhelmed by just a few of the stories I shared in gathering the waters. You are the characters ( no pun intended) in the book!!
Next week I am driving to Myrtle Beach, SC to link up with Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov as they minister at Shiloh Ministries founded by Jack Frost. It will be a delight to see them again and also several ladies I met through divine connections about years ago. You can access the Ryabinov’s site at www.songofisrael.com. They have also spoken on the Sid Roth show as Alyosha has shared his testimony and played his wonderful music. Jody has been in natural health many years and has designed EMF cell phone and computer shields and pendants to block harmful frequencies. I have been selling them and wear my own 24/7. Ask me about them. This stuff works.
I am lingering on the east coast to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my handsome young soldier son, Josh. He is based at Ft Bragg, NC, and it will be a joy to have several days with him before I begin my drive back to Washington. Enroute I’ll stop in Anderson, IN where my daughter and family just moved and in Sioux Falls, SD to see my oldest son and family. My mom now lives in Neligh, NE, so I’ll make a stop there as well and hope to see other family in the area. It’s one of the perks of travel to see family as most of them are not able to travel very far with young children,school obligations, and jobs.
Thank you so much for your prayer cover and your kind words of encouragement and strength. Today, I have been ‘on the road again’ for 8 weeks and am feeling the effects of much travel. I have already come 8,000 miles in 8 weeks. Were it not for my being able to spend Thanksgiving with my son, I would be heading home. It was a month ago today, October 10-11 that I stepped into the waters of the far northeast corner of America at Eastport, ME. I am still in awe of that Divine moment and the wonder of the beauty of the northeast ablaze with color. As I’ve been on the east coast, I’ve enjoyed several weeks of colorful changes and varieties of foliage. You can access some blog newsletters on my website: www.carlareed.com if you want to catch up or refer others.
Your prayers for physical strength, stamina, and healing are still needed. As you can and desire, your financial support keep my boat afloat and will enable me to get home and begin to tell the wonderful stories of His Faithful provision and protection. I want you to be encouraged and challenged as you step into your own destiny and dreams and do what has been deposited in your hearts.
I am still having some mail forwarded, but a better way to contribute to the journey is thru Paypal.com or call me with a credit/debit card number. Funds are available much quicker. Thank you for your sensitivity and generosity. You are the finest!
I am attaching a file of some of my favorite 1111 stories. Some of them you will have already read and for those of you new people added to the email list, I think you will enjoy them. I’m sure one of my books will be on prophetic numbers.
Much love to all of you,

Dearest Friends across America
Blessings to all of you from Maine and Massachusetts where I've been staying the past week. I wanted to give you a short report tonight as I review the astonishing, amazing, delightful, intensely prophetic, declarative, and revelatory events of the past week. It was a week ago tonight on 10-10-08 that I arrived in Eastport, Maine after three weeks of fast paced travel across the county. I can only tell you my face was set as flint as I made my way and felt the compelling hand of the Lord upon me. I don't know that I have ever held such an important prayer assignment or felt the urgency of it. TO HIS GLORY, I arrived at my destination on time.
I was greatly blessed to meet with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland/Waterville, Maine. They are key leaders to the entire state and the hub of many timely conferences and networking with intercessors and pastors across the state and all over New England. We had immediate heart to heart connections and the Lord gave us several days of sharing insights, stories, and strategies. They had been given the key to Maine by USPN network, involving Chuck Pierce and Dutch Sheets on their 50 state tour and visit to Maine. They truly are KEY leaders.
The night I arrived on Oct 9, they invited me to share at their ministry school about how I had been gathering waters and what had compelled me to drive over 4,000 miles to pray at the far northeast corner of Maine at the waters. At the end they asked if they could see the beautiful gem I had brought with me and we went into another level of glory and impartation. That night to my delight, they honored me by presenting the Isaiah 22:22 key to Maine. They had me hold it while they prayed for me and told me to take it with me to the shores of Maine. I took a picture of that beautiful key laying in the waters and was so thrilled to have such a cherished key and such an open door into Maine. I was blessed to speak at their church on Sunday morning and a Bridge church group near Portland on Sunday night. The Lord graciously opened wide the doors to many wonderful friendships in Maine and I anticipate there will be many more. On Monday, we drove to Bangor where I was blessed to meet with more key intercessors and establish deep ties to Maine as we partner together for America. The drive across Maine was unforgettable in beauty as the trees decorated the landscape. The weather was perfect and I learned the foliage was at optimum color as many were taking their annual fall foliage tour. It was the perfect weekend for every connection made and only the Lord could have given me those dates several weeks ago.
The pictures will speak for themselves and I will try to write more later on. I'm limited at the computer tonight and was just able to download some pictures into an album that will be available for your viewing at www.kodakgallery.com. Log in my email address of selahministries@hotmail.com, and then the password which is also selahministries. That will give you access to the album without downloading them onto your computer. If you have trouble, let me know.
In my last email, I shared with you about the number 212 as it pertains to the boiling point of water and flash points of change. On the morning I left I stopped at a gas station and to my shock and delight, a little red car with the numbers 212 was on the Maine plate. As I entered the on ramp of I-95 north into Bangor and towards Eastport, I had come 212 miles from my last stop in Massachusetts. Then to top that off, enroute to Eastport, near Machias, my odometer registered 148,888 miles, which meant I had come 4,444 miles since mile marker 212 in Montana. So many little signs and wonders delighted me as I drove to Eastport alone. Because of her daughter's illness, Rainie was not able to go with me. However, it seemed fitting that the Lord would grant me the courage and honor of HIM being my only traveling companion on such an awesome trip across the country and to the fourth corner of America. I smiled and rejoiced every mile and minute at the wonder of such a vast endeaver and that I was nearing my destination. That night I treated myself to a Maine lobster (lobsta', here). They were 2 for the price of 1 and the perfect meal at the dock.
Tomorrow, October 18, I will be driving into Long Island, NY to see my friend, Irene, and share with a group tomorrow night. We plan to pray off the waters of Long Island on Sunday. On Monday, I leave for Milford, Delaware, and by next weekend, I plan to be in Moravian Falls, NC. I will be seeing Joshua at Ft Bragg the next week as he will be gone to some training in Arizona until then. I'll keep you posted on the rest of the trip.
I am still processing the intensity and immensity of the trip out here. I hardly know how to tell you what I saw and felt as I peered into the early morning dawn on Saturday, 10-11. To stand on the shores of the 4th corner of America and feel the honor of representing your waters and prayers and to bring so great a sacrifice before the Lord. There is a great sense of accomplishment and wonderment that has been overwhelming. I want to thank all of your for your part in the miracle of it all and I'm so grateful for your prayerful and financial support.
As I write tonight I am staying with my wonderful delightful friend, Rainie, who lives in Westborough, Massachusetts. The foliage here is also stunningly beautiful and I'm so grateful for the joy and privilege of meeting leaders and intercessors in this historic New England region. We are all rooting for the Boston Red Sox to win of course.
Your continued prayers are gratefully acknowledged and needed as I continue this life changing journey. While standing on the shores of Eastport, I did feel strongly to pray against the election of Obama and deeply felt the impending danger of hidden agendas. I'm praying and calling for an unraveling and exposure of who this man really is and who is really behind the scenes.
I pray that your are blessed with the photo album and that I can follow up with a more detailed journal of what happened on this remarkable journey and endeavor. Your prayers and financial support are needed and gratefully received.
TO HIS GLORY,
Carla

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to all of you across America!! I want to give you a road update on my travels and let you know I am doing fine, and the trip is going amazingly well. Once again, I have found the Lord faithful to keep me as I go and give me a supernatural strength and energy that defies logic. I left Spokane three weeks ago today on Sept 16, and have come nearly 4,000 miles, plus ministering several times and many changes of beds and locations. And yes, it does stretch me to the max, but I’m learning to lean into and on His strength.
As I write to you tonight, I am in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I left the historic Gettysburg area this morning after spending nearly a week in the area ministering and also going to the Harrisburg area. I’ve been with some longtime friends and also meeting many new people. A fresh wind of the Spirit is blowing in Pennsylvania and I have so enjoyed the incredible beauty of the hillsides and farmlands. Several years ago, I learned that my maternal grandfather had come from the north central PA area, so I have some natural ties to the state and many blessed friendships since first coming in 2000.
I am staying tonight in the area of the original Moravian settlement in 1741. I had first come in 2002 to pray at the waters of Monocracy Creek at the first established well, and decided to spend the night here before I leave tomorrow on my upward journey to Maine. Bethlehem is home to Bethlehem Steel and I passed nearly a mile of old steel buildings today in the downtown area along the Lehigh River. It is also known as the Christmas City, (wonder why)… The Moravian Star, which is used to top Christmas trees has the long pointed end. It is also part of the logo for Morning Star Ministries. This is a special stop for me as I will be leaving for Moravian Falls, NC in about 2 weeks and they are closely connected.
On Thursday, I will be meeting and staying with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland, ME. On Friday, I will be driving to Eastport, my far northeast destination. There has been much excitement and anticipation for this coming weekend, and I want to let you in on the journey and ask you to cover me in prayer as we seek the Heart of the Lord for America. I am hearing confirming reports of Glory portals opening into the nation. Surely it can’t happen at a better time. I’m beginning to see more realistically the urgency of getting to the 4th Corner before the elections. May the Lord have mercy on us!
Several amazing things have happened since I stepped out by faith to drive across the great expanse of America. I want to share one that is especially pertinent to encourage you that the Lord is directing this prayer journey and that He has a purpose on His Heart and Mind.
First of all, it’s hard to believe that a month ago on Sept 7, I was still in Seattle. I didn’t arrive back in Spokane until 9-11, when I attended the International Healing Rooms Conference. On Monday, Sept, 8, my special friend, Quaint and I went to the shoreline of the Puget Sound waters in the city of Shoreline, WA. We had a special day of prayer with several close friends and the day had gone by quickly when we slipped to the shores as the sun was setting. As we came to the shore, I looked into the beautiful sunset and was instantly reminded of three prophetic words given to me in December, 1999 by three different people in three different locations all having to do with a sun setting in the west. It was catalytic in my decision to drive with the Atlantic waters to the Pacific Ocean the summer of 2000. There Josh and I witnessed our first sunset off the Oregon coastline and it was a profound and holy moment. At the time, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime drive, never dreaming it would propel me into an eight year journey of several round trips across America.
As my friend and I stood on the shores, I was reminded of the confirming word of the trip that came from the lady who called me from Australia. She saw me standing on sand, stepping into water, and scanning the horizon. When I shared with her my intentions to drive to Maine, we realized how powerful that vision was. While standing at the Puget Sound, facing the west at sunset, I suddenly felt I should take some sand with me from the shore. I looked behind me at the dry sand, when suddenly I felt I was to take it from beneath my very feet and scooped up the wet sand in a bag. I plan to dump it out and stand on it when I get to Eastport, Maine.
On my return trip from Seattle on Sept 11, I turned 144,000 miles on my van. It was a wonderful moment of feeling the Lord has directed your miles and minutes and that is a great number!!!!!
After adding some more miles attending the Healing Room Conference in Spokane and attending church that Sunday, I registered some more miles before recording my mileage on Tues, Sept 16, the day I left for this trip. It was an intense time of preparation for several weeks on the east coast, open ended at this time. I drove across the beautiful neck of Idaho and entered Montana on I-90. You really must see the beauty of our great nation and the amazing northwest ruggedness of Montana.
At one point, I looked down and was surprised to see I had just registered 144,404 miles. I’d been so busy preparing I hadn’t even considered that I would come to 144,444 miles on my trip to the 4th corner of America. I’ve been telling you all about 4’s and doors for several weeks, including the sheet let down for Peter in Acts 10:10-11 which specifically mentions four corners. Remember, my target dates are Oct (10) 10-11, an amazing parallel.
At that point I began to watch my mileage closer and noting it, so I didn’t miss the big event. As I neared Exit 211 in Montana, I was at 144,443, so I pulled off the exit to enable me to stop and take a picture. However, somehow I had slightly miscalculated as it didn’t come to 144,444. So instead of going down some road, I felt the need to pull back on I-90. Just after passing mile marker 212, the odometer registered 144,444 miles and I pulled off the interstate, put on my blinkers, and snapped some pictures. There was a sudden overwhelming sense of the Lord’s Presence to so time my trip thus so.
After stopping a few minutes, taking several shots of my dash, I pulled back on I-90 with a profound sense of destiny knowing this trip is carrying far more importance than even I knew. It was then I saw the sudden profound significance of passing marker 212.
About two years ago, I began seeing the number 212 very frequently. That fall, I moved to 21200 E Country Vista Dr in Liberty Lake. Still I saw the number. One day as I asked the Lord what it meant, He reminded me that the boiling point of water is 212 degrees. With that I coined the phase that 212 represents the ‘flash point of change‘. It is when the visible becomes invisible as water boils out of the pan and turns to steam. About that time, Gateway in CdA scheduled a conference beginning specifically on 2-12-2006. It was meant to mark the anniversary of the great Latter Rain movement that began on 2-12-1948 in Canada. That movement restored the five-fold ministry gifts and spawned the great healing revivals of the 1950’s.
Also during this time, someone sent me an email with a website link, which I rarely ever, ever click on. This one was called www.simpletruths.com. As I did, the opening page featured a huge 212 number with several interesting comments. I learned it was an entire motivational series called 212, complete with books, DVD’s, posters, key rings and cups. Appropriately, it had to do with going the extra degree to gain accomplishments. The wording went like this: At 211 degrees, nothing happens. But, if you go the extra degree to 212, water boils, steam is produced, and steam powers locomotives. It was quite impressive and I ordered the book with great delight and told the leadership at Gateway in CdA about it for the conference on 2-12-06.
Now you can see the parallel that left me quite impressed with the Lord and how He orders our steps and stops. At Exit 211 in Montana, nothing happened. I had to get back on I-90 and pass mile marker 212 before I turned 144,444 miles. Since my entire focus right now is on water, you can see that the boiling point of water, the vanishing point is what is being profoundly emphasized. Selah.
I have many other stories just in the last three weeks of travel that I could tell you about, but they will have to wait. I want to leave you with a sense of awe and wonder that our Heavenly Father is orchestrating and designing a prophetic message with the waters of America that will be poured into the 4th corner at Eastport, Maine. With the Lord’s help, I will pour out your waters and prayers on Oct 10-11. I plan to be there that evening and if possible spend the night in my van praying. I want to be on the eastern shore at sunrise, just as amazingly as I was on the western shore at sunset. “From the rising of the Sun, until it’s going down, the Lord’s Name is to be praised!” … a quote from Psalms. I believe a NEW DAY is dawning on America. Surely we can all see we have reached the boiling point!!! Let us welcome the Rising of the Son of God upon the hearts and lives of men and women and children as we enter confidently into Kingdom purpose and destiny. Beloved, we have spent our lives being prepared for the days before us. Surely we have come to live in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Come to think of it, it is so appropriate that my first piano CD, is titled “Morning Glory”. The Glory of the New Day!!! Good Morning - Glory!!!
Change is happening. September was called the month of suddenlies and suddenly, Sarah Palin was nominated for vice president and suddenly the economies of America and the world are being shaken. Who could have imagined the events of September??
If you receive this email newsletter in time, please join me in prayer for America on Oct 10-11 as I stand and scan the horizon off the east coast of northern Maine. Pray for my protection as I travel north the next three days and also that I will be bold and declare and decree the words of the Lord for this nation. My greatest concern is that I not come so far with so great a sacrifice and miss the mark of speaking and declaring HIS Heart and Word.
Thank you for your faithful friendship, prayers, and financial support. If you find it in your heart’s desire to send support, it will be gratefully acknowledged and utilized. It has been a huge expense and undertaking, but the Lord is faithful. Should you decide to be a part of it, call or let me know. Let your gift be a joy to you to give and my joy to receive.
I will be following with some reports as soon as I am able. Be mindful that I can’t always check emails, but I do try to respond to each and every one and keep up with voice mail. So be patient with me if some time lapses.
Next week, I will be spending some time in Massachusetts and driving to Long Island, NY. That is another good reason to pray for me. The following week I will be in Delaware and working my way to North Carolina to see my son, Josh, at Ft Bragg and also go to Moravian Falls. I’ll try to keep you posted.
May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ fill each of you with confident hope and expectation as we become His lights shining in a darkened world.
My love to all of you,
Carla

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to all of you across America!! I want to give you a road update on my travels and let you know I am doing fine, and the trip is going amazingly well. Once again, I have found the Lord faithful to keep me as I go and give me a supernatural strength and energy that defies logic. I left Spokane three weeks ago today on Sept 16, and have come nearly 4,000 miles, plus ministering several times and many changes of beds and locations. And yes, it does stretch me to the max, but I’m learning to lean into and on His strength.
As I write to you tonight, I am in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I left the historic Gettysburg area this morning after spending nearly a week in the area ministering and also going to the Harrisburg area. I’ve been with some longtime friends and also meeting many new people. A fresh wind of the Spirit is blowing in Pennsylvania and I have so enjoyed the incredible beauty of the hillsides and farmlands. Several years ago, I learned that my maternal grandfather had come from the north central PA area, so I have some natural ties to the state and many blessed friendships since first coming in 2000.
I am staying tonight in the area of the original Moravian settlement in 1741. I had first come in 2002 to pray at the waters of Monocracy Creek at the first established well, and decided to spend the night here before I leave tomorrow on my upward journey to Maine. Bethlehem is home to Bethlehem Steel and I passed nearly a mile of old steel buildings today in the downtown area along the Lehigh River. It is also known as the Christmas City, (wonder why)… The Moravian Star, which is used to top Christmas trees has the long pointed end. It is also part of the logo for Morning Star Ministries. This is a special stop for me as I will be leaving for Moravian Falls, NC in about 2 weeks and they are closely connected.
On Thursday, I will be meeting and staying with Pastors Richard and Linda Brink of Eastgate Apostolic Center in Oakland, ME. On Friday, I will be driving to Eastport, my far northeast destination. There has been much excitement and anticipation for this coming weekend, and I want to let you in on the journey and ask you to cover me in prayer as we seek the Heart of the Lord for America. I am hearing confirming reports of Glory portals opening into the nation. Surely it can’t happen at a better time. I’m beginning to see more realistically the urgency of getting to the 4th Corner before the elections. May the Lord have mercy on us!
Several amazing things have happened since I stepped out by faith to drive across the great expanse of America. I want to share one that is especially pertinent to encourage you that the Lord is directing this prayer journey and that He has a purpose on His Heart and Mind.
First of all, it’s hard to believe that a month ago on Sept 7, I was still in Seattle. I didn’t arrive back in Spokane until 9-11, when I attended the International Healing Rooms Conference. On Monday, Sept, 8, my special friend, Quaint and I went to the shoreline of the Puget Sound waters in the city of Shoreline, WA. We had a special day of prayer with several close friends and the day had gone by quickly when we slipped to the shores as the sun was setting. As we came to the shore, I looked into the beautiful sunset and was instantly reminded of three prophetic words given to me in December, 1999 by three different people in three different locations all having to do with a sun setting in the west. It was catalytic in my decision to drive with the Atlantic waters to the Pacific Ocean the summer of 2000. There Josh and I witnessed our first sunset off the Oregon coastline and it was a profound and holy moment. At the time, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime drive, never dreaming it would propel me into an eight year journey of several round trips across America.
As my friend and I stood on the shores, I was reminded of the confirming word of the trip that came from the lady who called me from Australia. She saw me standing on sand, stepping into water, and scanning the horizon. When I shared with her my intentions to drive to Maine, we realized how powerful that vision was. While standing at the Puget Sound, facing the west at sunset, I suddenly felt I should take some sand with me from the shore. I looked behind me at the dry sand, when suddenly I felt I was to take it from beneath my very feet and scooped up the wet sand in a bag. I plan to dump it out and stand on it when I get to Eastport, Maine.
On my return trip from Seattle on Sept 11, I turned 144,000 miles on my van. It was a wonderful moment of feeling the Lord has directed your miles and minutes and that is a great number!!!!!
After adding some more miles attending the Healing Room Conference in Spokane and attending church that Sunday, I registered some more miles before recording my mileage on Tues, Sept 16, the day I left for this trip. It was an intense time of preparation for several weeks on the east coast, open ended at this time. I drove across the beautiful neck of Idaho and entered Montana on I-90. You really must see the beauty of our great nation and the amazing northwest ruggedness of Montana.
At one point, I looked down and was surprised to see I had just registered 144,404 miles. I’d been so busy preparing I hadn’t even considered that I would come to 144,444 miles on my trip to the 4th corner of America. I’ve been telling you all about 4’s and doors for several weeks, including the sheet let down for Peter in Acts 10:10-11 which specifically mentions four corners. Remember, my target dates are Oct (10) 10-11, an amazing parallel.
At that point I began to watch my mileage closer and noting it, so I didn’t miss the big event. As I neared Exit 211 in Montana, I was at 144,443, so I pulled off the exit to enable me to stop and take a picture. However, somehow I had slightly miscalculated as it didn’t come to 144,444. So instead of going down some road, I felt the need to pull back on I-90. Just after passing mile marker 212, the odometer registered 144,444 miles and I pulled off the interstate, put on my blinkers, and snapped some pictures. There was a sudden overwhelming sense of the Lord’s Presence to so time my trip thus so.
After stopping a few minutes, taking several shots of my dash, I pulled back on I-90 with a profound sense of destiny knowing this trip is carrying far more importance than even I knew. It was then I saw the sudden profound significance of passing marker 212.
About two years ago, I began seeing the number 212 very frequently. That fall, I moved to 21200 E Country Vista Dr in Liberty Lake. Still I saw the number. One day as I asked the Lord what it meant, He reminded me that the boiling point of water is 212 degrees. With that I coined the phase that 212 represents the ‘flash point of change‘. It is when the visible becomes invisible as water boils out of the pan and turns to steam. About that time, Gateway in CdA scheduled a conference beginning specifically on 2-12-2006. It was meant to mark the anniversary of the great Latter Rain movement that began on 2-12-1948 in Canada. That movement restored the five-fold ministry gifts and spawned the great healing revivals of the 1950’s.
Also during this time, someone sent me an email with a website link, which I rarely ever, ever click on. This one was called www.simpletruths.com. As I did, the opening page featured a huge 212 number with several interesting comments. I learned it was an entire motivational series called 212, complete with books, DVD’s, posters, key rings and cups. Appropriately, it had to do with going the extra degree to gain accomplishments. The wording went like this: At 211 degrees, nothing happens. But, if you go the extra degree to 212, water boils, steam is produced, and steam powers locomotives. It was quite impressive and I ordered the book with great delight and told the leadership at Gateway in CdA about it for the conference on 2-12-06.
Now you can see the parallel that left me quite impressed with the Lord and how He orders our steps and stops. At Exit 211 in Montana, nothing happened. I had to get back on I-90 and pass mile marker 212 before I turned 144,444 miles. Since my entire focus right now is on water, you can see that the boiling point of water, the vanishing point is what is being profoundly emphasized. Selah.
I have many other stories just in the last three weeks of travel that I could tell you about, but they will have to wait. I want to leave you with a sense of awe and wonder that our Heavenly Father is orchestrating and designing a prophetic message with the waters of America that will be poured into the 4th corner at Eastport, Maine. With the Lord’s help, I will pour out your waters and prayers on Oct 10-11. I plan to be there that evening and if possible spend the night in my van praying. I want to be on the eastern shore at sunrise, just as amazingly as I was on the western shore at sunset. “From the rising of the Sun, until it’s going down, the Lord’s Name is to be praised!” … a quote from Psalms. I believe a NEW DAY is dawning on America. Surely we can all see we have reached the boiling point!!! Let us welcome the Rising of the Son of God upon the hearts and lives of men and women and children as we enter confidently into Kingdom purpose and destiny. Beloved, we have spent our lives being prepared for the days before us. Surely we have come to live in the Kingdom for such a time as this. Come to think of it, it is so appropriate that my first piano CD, is titled “Morning Glory”. The Glory of the New Day!!! Good Morning - Glory!!!
Change is happening. September was called the month of suddenlies and suddenly, Sarah Palin was nominated for vice president and suddenly the economies of America and the world are being shaken. Who could have imagined the events of September??
If you receive this email newsletter in time, please join me in prayer for America on Oct 10-11 as I stand and scan the horizon off the east coast of northern Maine. Pray for my protection as I travel north the next three days and also that I will be bold and declare and decree the words of the Lord for this nation. My greatest concern is that I not come so far with so great a sacrifice and miss the mark of speaking and declaring HIS Heart and Word.
Thank you for your faithful friendship, prayers, and financial support. If you find it in your heart’s desire to send support, it will be gratefully acknowledged and utilized. It has been a huge expense and undertaking, but the Lord is faithful. Should you decide to be a part of it, call or let me know. Let your gift be a joy to you to give and my joy to receive.
I will be following with some reports as soon as I am able. Be mindful that I can’t always check emails, but I do try to respond to each and every one and keep up with voice mail. So be patient with me if some time lapses.
Next week, I will be spending some time in Massachusetts and driving to Long Island, NY. That is another good reason to pray for me. The following week I will be in Delaware and working my way to North Carolina to see my son, Josh, at Ft Bragg and also go to Moravian Falls. I’ll try to keep you posted.
May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ fill each of you with confident hope and expectation as we become His lights shining in a darkened world.
My love to all of you,
Carla

Dear Friends,
Blessings to all you!! I wanted to give you a quick update as I’m preparing to leave on Tues, Sept 16. I had hoped to leave tomorrow, Monday, but have too many details yet to tend to. Also, tomorrow, I need to have some additional work done on the Glory Van to assure it is in optimum shape for another cross country run. I’m estimating around 12,000 miles before I return home. At this time, I’m looking at the probability of spending Thanksgiving in North Carolina with Josh at Ft Bragg, before heading back home. He is scheduled for deployment again next year and I’d really like to max out my time with my young handsome soldier son. I’m planning to drive through South Dakota this week and see my oldest son, Steven, and family and also my daughter, Anne, and family, and at least 8-9 of my grandchildren. It will be a grand time!!!
A special thanks to you who have emailed or sent words of encouragement, and included financial support for the trip. You put the wind in my sails. It is impossible to go and do without the generosity and kindness of those who blow upon the coals of prayer and intercession and send me on my way. I’m honored and humbled by your love and concern for me and our great nation. I want to assure you that the one who goes and those who stay at home are laborers together with mutual rewards for all. I realize that many of you travel with me vicariously and I would so love to be able to take you along. I’m hoping to keep good records and get some photos to include you as much as possible.
After the initial stumbling and bumbling around over to go or not to go, I have felt the increasing confidence of the Lord that HIS plans are being carried out and He will guide me safely to the northeast corner of Maine, down the eastern coast, and back home again. It is on HIS Faithfulness to me in the years past, that I can step out by faith and trust Him to do exceedingly abundantly above all I’ve asked or thought. It’s hard to explain, but when I finally finished loading the van, start it up, record my mileage, and drive off, I enter into a zone like a Holy Ghost jet stream that propels and compels me forward. I feel His Hand and I feel His Pleasure that I am willing to go and willing to trust Him. Recently someone prayed over me and saw an angelic fire tunnel all the way across the country. In these most turbulent of times, that is a great comfort.
I’m reprinting my itinerary again, so you can pray and travel with me. I know there are going to be many Divine appointments along the way. I still have some open dates, times, and flexibility.
Here is tentative itinerary:
Sept 16 - Leave Spokane, stay near Gallatin Gateway, MT

Beloved friends, keep me in your heart and prayers. As the Lord leads you, call, email, and if you can lend a financial hand, it will be gratefully acknowledged. All mail and checks will be forwarded to me, or you can donate through paypal.com or thru credit/debit cards. I can also make my Bank of America account number available to you for a direct deposit and quicker accessibility. Just call or email me when you’re ready and able. Let it be your joy to give and mine to receive.
I've been battling some cold and lung congestion for about 2 weeks. Agree with me for my immune system to fight off any invaders and that I will be able to breathe freely and fully as I go. Keep speaking blessings of good health, wealth, and wisdom as I travel.
If any of you are interested in obtaining a small bottle of the gathered waters, let me know as well. We’ll work it out for you. I think it will be a significant way for all of us to participate and see into the unity of prayer, intent, and purpose as we continue to believe for restoration in our lives and in our country. Things are changing. I believe we have reached a critical mass of prayer and that we'll see many long awaiting changes come forth.
Today, the Lord reminded me of the book of Ruth. She gleaned in the corners of the fields … handfuls on purpose. I trust we too will glean in the four corners of America and find that our Boaz, our wonderful Lord, has been quietly watching us. As I prepare to step into the waters of the fourth corner in Eastport, ME, know you are truly with me as the Voice of Many Waters.
My love and admiration to the finest people in America. I’m sure of it.

Hello everyone!!
Blessings to all of you during these wonderful days of His Glory being revealed to and among His people. I can’t help but feel the SURPRISE of the LORD will bring the DEMISE to many stubborn strongholds that are crumbling around us. Much is being shaken severely and we are watching in stunned disbelief as political and national events are being paraded before us, principalities and powers are being shaken, taken out, and will fall.
Plans are coming along well for my trip to the east coast. Much has happened to confirm the Lord’s will and plan for me to go, and HIS purposes are unfolding as I step forward.
Thank you, beloved friends, for standing with me in prayer, encouragement, and financially. You’re the best of the best. I’m sure of it.
I apologize if I “troubled your waters” by anything I shared in the last newsletter. It is a delicate dance to be real without speaking that which has the potential to offend. We all disdain phony ministers and people, but I think we’re more afraid of those who dare to be real and vulnerable. Most of you know me well and I trust my heart with you and hope you’ll be patient with me during these turbulent and momentous times.
For those of us who live on the edge, we can get and sound a little “edgy”. I have just come thru an intense month of intercession and prayer and the burden of it has lifted this week. We sometimes pray and intercede for that which we don’t understand and labor in travail like a woman in childbirth. If you’ve ever given birth, or been with your wife, you know rationality goes out the window in the pain of the process. At those times we don’t need scrutiny and rebuke, we need comfort.
Thank you for your patience and kindness.
Now for some good news!
Yesterday, I received a wonderful phone call from Australia. I had met a lady at a meeting where I spoke in Seattle in June. She and her husband had stayed for several months in America, were from Australia, and on their way back home to Brisbane. She told me she wanted me to come and minister in her country and I agreed it would be wonderful…. Someday.
She called me yesterday to inquire about the Uri International products, the Feast, who someone had told her about. I shared the information with her and we talked for about 10 minutes. Then she called me back the second time. With that she hesitated, but said she felt the Lord had given her a word for me. I welcomed it as I don’t get a lot of words these days from people I hardly know.
She described seeing me in a vision of watching me standing on the sand, looking at my feet in the water, scanning the horizon and waters. She said the Lord wanted to teach me more about multi-dimensions and that a door was being opened. She said the Lord wanted to reactivate gifts I had allowed to go dormant.
I had to grin. She had no idea I was planning to go to the northeast corner of Maine, Eastport-al and stand on the seashore and put my feet in the water. I do believe this was the Lord’s gracious confirmation coming from as far away as Australia, that I am on course, and to proceed with confidence and expectation.
Later that day, she called me the 3rd time, explaining she has never called someone she hardly knows, 3 times in one day. With that she said she and her husband, a scientific type, felt they were to tell me to study the ocean currents. Australia has been on the cutting edge of discovery of missing links to the knowledge of the ocean currents that connect the world in the waterways. So many exciting discoveries!! Interestingly, the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Maine is well know for extraordinary high tides. So, I’m wondering if my praying off the coast of Maine will have world wide effect. God always seems to take you beyond what’s comfortable and do more than you can imagine.
Today, I called a pastor near Waterville, Maine, who I met three years ago. Back then, he was pretty surprised that a van with Washington plates was parked in his church lot as I was attending a conference in 2005. I have been “meaning to” call for a month, when today it came to me suddenly, “do it”, and I caught him on the 2nd ring. He remembered my coming and when I told him that the Lord was directing me to drive to Maine again, he welcomed what I shared and I will be meeting with him and his wife, and church while I’m out there on Oct 10-12. He and others have also done numerous prayer trips to Eastport and believes that the area is very key to the nation as well. They have recently renamed their church “Eastgate” Apostolic Center and it becomes official next week with a conference with Georgian and Winnie Banov. Their son just married the Banov’s daughter and they will be working together. He assured me that many prayer assignments have come together in Maine and that they understood the importance of what I was bringing.
This last month has been an intense time of prayer and travail in my soul for this very personal journey and the magnitude of what I am seeing and feeling. I am compelled by the Spirit to take the waters of America to the far northeast. This week more insight came regarding eastern gates as I considered the entrance to the Garden of Eden, the eastern gate of the Temple in Jerusalem facing the east. I believe it is the strategic time of the Lord to stand at the eastern gate of Maine, in the waters, and pray as the Lord directs me in proclamation and decree.
Who am I to do such a thing? I don’t know, except that I have endeavored to be obedient in every assignment and believe this is a crowning touch to the 4th corner of America. The lady in Australia mentioned a door or portal without knowing of my intentions. The 4th letter of the Hebrew, dalet, means a door. So does the 4th letter of Greek, delta, talk of an opening. Four is the number of creation and we also speak of the 4th Dimension. Surely we gaze thru’ a glass darkly, straining to see into the unseen, yet believing with all our hearts that He is leading.
Another picture I have had is the extending of tent pegs, an enlarging of territory as we call it. It feels like a tent peg is being hammered in the ground of this 4th corner. I truly pray we will come under HIS covering once again as a nation, in spite of the foolishness of our government and the wickedness that abounds. Where sin abounds, HIS Grace much more so abounds.
Thank you dear friends, for standing with me during these strategic days of prayer over America. Surely all of us are encouraged by the nomination of Sarah Palin as vice president. Who would have thought?

November is still being planned. I may go back to North Carolina and spend Thanksgiving with Josh before returning home.
That gives you a general idea of where I will be going. Your prayers and financial support are so needed and appreciated. Thank you for being faithful and generous.
If you read my last newsletter, you will remember that I am making a small bottle of the composite gathered waters of America available to you for prayer, anointing and as a point of agreement for the cleansing of our waters and land. We have so much to learn about it all. Let us honor the Lord and one another by acknowledging our waters flowing together in unity and purpose in prayer for our nation.
Also, I still have some of the David Van Koevering’s stones from Israel available to include as a gift to you with your donation of $111 for the waters. I'll include a listing of the waters as well. The last newsletter is available on the blog on the website: www.carlalreed.com and will explain what has been done and also my experimentation with the 528hz frequency that scientists use to repair DNA. It is the solfeggio frequency of Mi, a shortened version of the Latin word for miracles. Let’s believe for many!!
In all my traveling, I’ve never used a GPS, however, if anyone of you has one that I could borrow for this trip, I’d be grateful. When you get into the northeast and cities, it becomes more difficult to navigate with maps in heavy traffic. Thank the Lord for my atlas!!
Also, I’d really like a new camera. My trusty Kodak Easy Share is worn out and I have no flash. I had tried another Kodak, but didn’t like the way it handled and returned it. Perhaps someone would like to buy, donate, or loan a camera for this incredible journey.
Remember to get on the website to order CD’s. I just had a recent fun testimony, I’ll share here:
Hello there! It is always soooo good to hear from you.
I just had to share this happening with you I do believe it will encourage you.
On the morning of August 22 I woke up and was pondering on the day ahead and the date
8-22-08. I got up and was making my coffee and wandered into the living room to find a gift
from Daddy on the wall (there is a phenomenon in the heavenlies that is like a rainbow but
it is a circle of rainbow colors)
.
On the wall was a beautiful glory ring! I was so amazed that I just sat and stared and then I
began to find where it was coming from. I then noticed that the sun was shining through a
window and then reflecting off of a CD that had been inadvertently set up on its side. The glory of the Lord was filling the whole room with His presence. I ran and got my camera and then called some neighbors to come and see. What a beautiful gift on 8-22-08.
Oh yes the CD that was reflecting the sun and colors onto the wall was Morning Glory!!!!!
Love and Blessings,
Joyce
I will be leaving tomorrow for Seattle for about a week, returning for a couple of days in Spokane to attend the Healing Rooms Conference before leaving on Sept 15. All my mail will be forwarded and catch up to me on the road.
If it is on your heart to donate to the ministry and help finance this trip, it would be easier to have you go to paypal.com or call and email a credit/debit card number. It gets into my account reserve so much faster. About $1000 has come in for the trip expenses, but much more will be needed.
My love to all of you. Keep me tucked in your heart and prayers as I go and go with me. You calls, emails, and words from the Lord are welcome.

Hello everyone!!
Blessings to all of you during these wonderful days of His Glory being revealed to and among His people. I can’t help but feel the SURPRISE of the LORD will bring the DEMISE to many stubborn strongholds that are crumbling around us. Much is being shaken severely and we are watching in stunned disbelief as political and national events are being paraded before us, principalities and powers are being shaken, taken out, and will fall.
Plans are coming along well for my trip to the east coast. Much has happened to confirm the Lord’s will and plan for me to go, and HIS purposes are unfolding as I step forward.
Thank you, beloved friends, for standing with me in prayer, encouragement, and financially. You’re the best of the best. I’m sure of it.
I apologize if I “troubled your waters” by anything I shared in the last newsletter. It is a delicate dance to be real without speaking that which has the potential to offend. We all disdain phony ministers and people, but I think we’re more afraid of those who dare to be real and vulnerable. Most of you know me well and I trust my heart with you and hope you’ll be patient with me during these turbulent and momentous times.
For those of us who live on the edge, we can get and sound a little “edgy”. I have just come thru an intense month of intercession and prayer and the burden of it has lifted this week. We sometimes pray and intercede for that which we don’t understand and labor in travail like a woman in childbirth. If you’ve ever given birth, or been with your wife, you know rationality goes out the window in the pain of the process. At those times we don’t need scrutiny and rebuke, we need comfort.
Thank you for your patience and kindness.
Now for some good news!
Yesterday, I received a wonderful phone call from Australia. I had met a lady at a meeting where I spoke in Seattle in June. She and her husband had stayed for several months in America, were from Australia, and on their way back home to Brisbane. She told me she wanted me to come and minister in her country and I agreed it would be wonderful…. Someday.
She called me yesterday to inquire about the Uri International products, the Feast, who someone had told her about. I shared the information with her and we talked for about 10 minutes. Then she called me back the second time. With that she hesitated, but said she felt the Lord had given her a word for me. I welcomed it as I don’t get a lot of words these days from people I hardly know.
She described seeing me in a vision of watching me standing on the sand, looking at my feet in the water, scanning the horizon and waters. She said the Lord wanted to teach me more about multi-dimensions and that a door was being opened. She said the Lord wanted to reactivate gifts I had allowed to go dormant.
I had to grin. She had no idea I was planning to go to the northeast corner of Maine, Eastport-al and stand on the seashore and put my feet in the water. I do believe this was the Lord’s gracious confirmation coming from as far away as Australia, that I am on course, and to proceed with confidence and expectation.
Later that day, she called me the 3rd time, explaining she has never called someone she hardly knows, 3 times in one day. With that she said she and her husband, a scientific type, felt they were to tell me to study the ocean currents. Australia has been on the cutting edge of discovery of missing links to the knowledge of the ocean currents that connect the world in the waterways. So many exciting discoveries!! Interestingly, the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Maine is well know for extraordinary high tides. So, I’m wondering if my praying off the coast of Maine will have world wide effect. God always seems to take you beyond what’s comfortable and do more than you can imagine.
Today, I called a pastor near Waterville, Maine, who I met three years ago. Back then, he was pretty surprised that a van with Washington plates was parked in his church lot as I was attending a conference in 2005. I have been “meaning to” call for a month, when today it came to me suddenly, “do it”, and I caught him on the 2nd ring. He remembered my coming and when I told him that the Lord was directing me to drive to Maine again, he welcomed what I shared and I will be meeting with him and his wife, and church while I’m out there on Oct 10-12. He and others have also done numerous prayer trips to Eastport and believes that the area is very key to the nation as well. They have recently renamed their church “Eastgate” Apostolic Center and it becomes official next week with a conference with Georgian and Winnie Banov. Their son just married the Banov’s daughter and they will be working together. He assured me that many prayer assignments have come together in Maine and that they understood the importance of what I was bringing.
This last month has been an intense time of prayer and travail in my soul for this very personal journey and the magnitude of what I am seeing and feeling. I am compelled by the Spirit to take the waters of America to the far northeast. This week more insight came regarding eastern gates as I considered the entrance to the Garden of Eden, the eastern gate of the Temple in Jerusalem facing the east. I believe it is the strategic time of the Lord to stand at the eastern gate of Maine, in the waters, and pray as the Lord directs me in proclamation and decree.
Who am I to do such a thing? I don’t know, except that I have endeavored to be obedient in every assignment and believe this is a crowning touch to the 4th corner of America. The lady in Australia mentioned a door or portal without knowing of my intentions. The 4th letter of the Hebrew, dalet, means a door. So does the 4th letter of Greek, delta, talk of an opening. Four is the number of creation and we also speak of the 4th Dimension. Surely we gaze thru’ a glass darkly, straining to see into the unseen, yet believing with all our hearts that He is leading.
Another picture I have had is the extending of tent pegs, an enlarging of territory as we call it. It feels like a tent peg is being hammered in the ground of this 4th corner. I truly pray we will come under HIS covering once again as a nation, in spite of the foolishness of our government and the wickedness that abounds. Where sin abounds, HIS Grace much more so abounds.
Thank you dear friends, for standing with me during these strategic days of prayer over America. Surely all of us are encouraged by the nomination of Sarah Palin as vice president. Who would have thought?

That gives you a general idea of where I will be going. Your prayers and financial support are so needed and appreciated. Thank you for being faithful and generous.
If you read my last newsletter, you will remember that I am making a small bottle of the composite gathered waters of America available to you for prayer, anointing and as a point of agreement for the cleansing of our waters and land. We have so much to learn about it all. Let us honor the Lord and one another by acknowledging our waters flowing together in unity and purpose in prayer for our nation.
Also, I still have some of the David Van Koevering’s stones from Israel available to include as a gift to you with your donation of $111 for the waters. I'll include a listing of the waters as well. The last newsletter is available on the blog on the website: www.carlalreed.com and will explain what has been done and also my experimentation with the 528hz frequency that scientists use to repair DNA. It is the solfeggio frequency of Mi, a shortened version of the Latin word for miracles. Let’s believe for many!!

Water Listings and Pictures
These are the pictures of my vast partial assortment of treasured rocks, sand, shells, and waters across America. I poured out the most recently added waters into a large pan to boil. I then struck the 528 Hz tuning fork to let it ring as I dipped it into the waters to encode the frequency as water carries sound. The 528 Hz is used by scientists to repair and restore DNA. By faith, I believe we will see the DNA of America restored as we become the Voice of Many Waters speaking healing and mercy into the land and seas. After boiling the water to remove impurities, I filled small bottles and labeled them: 'America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee... And Crown Thy Good with Brotherhood From Sea to Shining Sea' The Waters of America Gathered by Carla Reed. For Prayer Purposes Only

Dearest Friends across America!!
Blessings and Greetings to all of you from Liberty Lake!! I trust you are enjoying these gorgeous summer days and already sensing the hint of fall in the air and the buzz of back-to-school shopping and expectation.
I’m choosing to send this out to you on 8-08-08 for the obvious reasons we all need some new beginnings and breakthroughs. It is a once in a lifetime date and I'm sharing a once in a lifetime open door.
If this newsletter gets long, take it in bytes. You don’t eat a whole pie at once, do you? Print this one out. What takes me hours to write you can read in minutes, so what’s the problem? If you are those who have trouble downloading, let me know and I’ll try to break it up for you.
As fall approaches I need to share something of utmost importance with you. I don’t know that I have ever shared anything more serious as our nation continues to totter on the brink of moral and financial disaster. The distraction of pending elections and financial survival keep us insulated from the fears and concerns we all feel. As with Queen Esther and the saving of the Jewish nation, when the enemy had a plot, God already had a plan in place. Let us not lose sight of the Hope of His Glorious Divine Intervention in the knotted affairs of men, politics, economics, and religion. Surely we too, have come into the kingdom for such a time as this.
For several weeks now I have been feeling the gnawing intensity of the intercession over America that started in 2000 when I began collecting and praying over the waters of our country. Not really sure why I was doing it, except that it gave us a prophetic picture of the unity of streams coming together in one mighty flow. Many of you participated in this amazing journey of gathering and pouring out the waters as we met in your cities and at the shorelines of rivers, lakes, and oceans. You have been with me in the mystic way of the Spirit that links us together even when we are apart. If you have been part of the water journey, this email will be especially meaningful.
Last month, I shared with you that I felt the Lord was speaking to me about going to Eastport, Maine. This is the far northern and easternmost city of our nation and the fourth corner of the country for me to stand and pray on the shores and pour out the waters. While I have always wanted to visit the beauty of the northeast in the fall of the year, the idea of going out, hanging out, and being out for several weeks was more than I could bear.
In June and July, I was in and out numerous times into Washington and Idaho stretching myself far too thin, and trying to do what it took to keep my boat afloat. When I returned last week, I was exhausted and upset. Offerings and honorariums are down and all the expenses are up. At one AG church is southern Idaho I ministered in two wonderful Sunday services. The church treasurer handed me a check for $75. I was heartsick as I had so needed the income for upcoming rent and other expenses. The beautiful couple who had arranged the meetings graciously met me at the door with a generous personal check, but I was still so grieved I didn’t want to ever subject myself to stingy church people again. In fact, I refused the check, something I have never done. It was not that they were poor, the treasurer was a tightwad. Why is it some people want the most from me for the least from them? This bargain mentality has so invaded the church that it has crippled and destroyed many genuinely anointed itinerant ministries willing to go to the small places and starved out the best of us.
Fortunately, not everyone is like that and if it were not for generous and gracious people like yourselves, I would have quit a long time ago. What has happened, however, is that my confidence in who I am and what I do has been badly shaken. I wonder if I’m just crazy and hearing God at all. The fact is, I’m so deep in debt right now from traveling that I don’t know how I’ll ever get out, unless He intervenes. It began for me when I moved to Moses Lake in 2002 and tried to set up housekeeping again for Josh and I. Before I knew what hit me, I was way over my head and by the time I left in 2005, I had more debt that I ever dreamed possible and since then, I've added to it. I know many of you are facing similar crisis and my heart goes out to all of those who are going and doing all they know and it still isn’t enough.
I’m taking the risk of being vulnerable with you that you might understand why I’m not in a big hurry to drive to Maine and stick myself out there again. While some of you may admire my gumption to drive across the country by myself, you haven’t seen me in my weak and lonely times when I wonder what it’s all about. At those times, I especially need to hear from you. If the Lord brings my name before you to call or pray, please do it. If He drops the idea of sending a check off in the mail, please listen. I can only interpret your silence as apathy or indifference. I send out numerous emails and hear from so few. Don’t worry, I still love you.
I understand that many of you are very, very busy, just making ends meet yourselves. I have stayed in many of your homes and heard your stories. I agree with you for financial miracles for you and your families. I want it to be a joy to give to me or any other ministry. And yes, all gifts are tax deductible. I can’t tell you how grieved I am when I “get dropped” as people tighten the budget or worse yet, stop because of other issues as they decide you don’t merit their donation anymore. That happened last year when I lost a major base of support because I didn’t bow to the pressure of denouncing the possibility of female-appearing angels. That little episode rippled out to several others who listened to a defamation of character without ever talking to me. How grievous that must be to the Lord when our love and friendships are so shallow.
As it has become increasingly hard to rely on offerings and donations, I have endeavored to do several other things. I still carry some jewelry, my CD’s, Akiane’s books, and most recently some excellent EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency) shields for cell phones and computers designed by my friends, Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov. Ask me about them. Also, I’ve been informing you of the organic whole foods produced by Uri International as I try to build a residual income. My other options seem to be to quit ministry and work for Walmart. Lord, help me. I hear some of you sighing like “Well, that’s too bad, but it’s not my problem.” And therein, seems to lie my problem. I’m not anybody’s problem. I’m far too dependent on the kindness and sporadic generosity of people and frankly, I don’t like it. Would you??
So, why am I even thinking of going to Maine?
I don’t know about you, but it seems the Lord gives me an impossible task at the most inconvenient times and when I already feel life is huge and impossible. I think it is His way of pulling us out of ordinariness and requiring us to lift our sights and our faith into the realm of the supernatural. And HE loves this country!!!
Last month I shared with you my previous experiences of going to Neah Bay, WA, Imperial Beach, CA and Key West, FL, praying at 3 touchstone corners of America. I also wrote to you of my first supernatural trip to Maine in Nov, 2004, and my second trip the next year, July 2005. I believe it is this third trip to Maine, specifically Eastport, that will top off the journey of a 48 state prayer journey. I just casually used the words “top off” and if you look at Eastport, ME, it is surely a top off place.
In mid-July as I was wrestling with the Lord over going, I happened to go to the office of the apartments where I live during the day. I usually wait until the office closes and go to the conference room in the evening to get online so I can utilize the wireless signal and it’s quieter in the evening. This particular day, I had an evening commitment so I went over mid-afternoon. I noticed we had a new lady manager, so I stopped by to say hello and ask about the former manager. The assistant manager, a man, knows I love the apartments and speak well of them. After greeting the new manager, I turned to leave. He quipped to the new lady, “Yea, she’s our main representative.” What an odd thing to say, I mused, as I started to open the front door. It was then I realized he had prophesied to me and didn’t know it. For in my spirit, I heard, “Yea, she’s our Main-e representative”. I couldn’t help but cast a smile upwards and admit the Lord got me right then and there.
In July, I spent about 5 days in the Tri-Cities area feeling hung out and strung out with a minimal offering to show for it. I was tired and grieved. On my way home I was determined NOT to go to Maine. I’m just not doing it!! And that’s that!!
The next night I went to the apartment office to catch up on emails. I also decided to call my friend, Susan East, who lives near Chambersburg, PA. I wanted to let her know that Kathie Walters will be coming to Spokane on August 22-24. I had met Kathie at a conference Susan had hosted in February and Kathie had prayed and spoken healing and insight to me after the Jezebel spirit ordeal in Nov and Dec. I hate to break it to you, but sometimes there ain’t nobody meaner than church folks who operate in a self-righteous spirit. If you’ve ever gone thru’ a church split, you know what I mean. And altho’ there was a split in my church following the attacks upon me and several others last year, I’m happy to tell you that the good guys stayed, and I’ve been able to return to the pastors, church, and people I’ve loved. I’ll leave it at that.
When I called Susan, her voicemail kicked in and I left a message. Awhile later she called all excited. She had been at a meeting near Gettysburg, PA at a church that is experiencing revival. She told me the location of the church was 7 miles west of Gettysburg on Hwy 30. I remarked to her that last year in August on my way back from New Jersey to Chambersburg, I had felt compelled of the Lord to drive all of Hwy 30 thru’ the Amish and Mennonite communities of Lancaster, PA and also historic Gettysburg. I passed that very church. Hwy 30 is called the Presidents Hwy because of Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address. I memorized it in 8th grade. Kind of interesting, I live in “Liberty” Lake and visited the Liberty Bell several years ago.
After the service, the pastor of the church had commented to Susan that he really wanted to keep the revival meetings going 7 nights a week. She told him she knew someone he should invite to come and mentioned my name to him. About the same time, she looked at her cell phone and noticed she had a message. It was me. I suppose it could be a coincidence. Ha.
She also told me of another man in Harrisburg who helps set up meetings for speakers and commented she thought I should come. I felt a shimmer of excitement in my spirit as she spoke and quickly tried to squelch it in the face of traveling that far when I had just made up my mind I wouldn’t.
However, I couldn’t seem to get Maine off the brain. Shortly after I had emailed you last month, I had even felt the Lord may have given me the date 10-10. I have been seeing 10:10 on my clocks all year attributing it to John 10:10, admitting there has been a thief that has come to kill, steal, and destroy. And doesn't that describe America? Killing unborns, stealing politicians and corruption, and the destruction of families? Yet, HE has come to give ABUNDANT life… then where is it????
On July 16, I tried to lie down for a short rest and to clear my head. I was packing up for a 12 day trip to the Boise and Twin Falls, ID areas, coming back thru’ the Tri-Cities and also Yakima, WA for a conference. As I tried to rest, there it was… Maine… on the brain again. This time I suddenly felt a tug to look at the scriptural reference I shared with you last month about Peter who went on the rooftop to pray and fell into a trance. Then a sheet was let down with four corners with all the unclean animals and the instructions to “Rise up, Peter, kill and eat.” Out of curiosity, I quickly rose up and grabbed my Bible. I was quite surprised and amused to find that the reference to the trance begins in Acts 10:10. AND in 10:11, I quote: “And he saw the sky opened and something like a great sheet lowered by the FOUR CORNERS, descending to the earth.” How’s that for confirmation?? Maybe God really is in this after all.
On July 17, I began my 350 mile drive toward Cascade, ID, north of Boise. I decided to call Susan again as the area code of Pennsylvania is 717 and it was 7-17 and I could wish her a happy 7-17 day! This number has also shown up repeatedly over a year, beginning with an unusual spiritual experience on 7-17-07. Last year, I even looked up numerous 7:17 scriptures. We talked for a short time as I was driving and she again mentioned the possibility of my coming to Pennsylvania. As we hung up, I told the Lord that it would be a very good day to hear from those PA folks if HE were truly leading me. After all it was 7-17. To my surprise, I got two more phone calls that day, both the 717 numbers of the pastor of the church and the area-wide meetings facilitator. Neither knew the other had called and Susan didn’t know either. The pastor called twice wanting to set up a time. I was feeling the Holy Ghost crunch of making a decision. In the next few days, they both called again to affirm their desire for me to come and set up some dates, now planned for Sept 28-Oct 6. I have always loved Pennsylvania and learned several years ago that my grandfather’s family came from north of Pittsburgh. But, that’s another story and a good one.
As I’ve been praying about all of this, I feel the Lord has given me a unique strategy to finance the trip and also include you on this monumental journey to the Eastport(al) of America. Considering Peter’s rooftop vision, I’d say Eastport(al) can be considered a rooftop and that Acts 10:10-11 happens to coincide with 10-10-11. As for the sheet, I continue to see the map of America before me and that our nation has many unclean beasts, creeps, and crawly things. I believe the command to kill and eat is not that we fight violence with similar violence calling down the wrath of God. I rather think the Lord is killing our prejudices (like tattoos:) and that He is taking the glorious gospel to the ‘gentiles’ of our times, the sick, weak, foolish, pierced, drugged, alcoholic, and immoral. Those who do not fit our religious paradigms and approval. Ouch.
Now it gets even better.
Right before my trip to the Boise area, I did something I had been meaning to do for a long time. I pulled out all the water bottles that were stored under my sinks, under the seats in my car and every other nook and cranny. I had felt the need to begin making the waters available to people for intercession and also funding. It was a strange sight to behold and I happened to take some pictures that I will attach. I emptied all the bottles and listed the newer waters as I poured them into a huge metal kettle to boil out any impurities. I wanted to put them in small bottles to send to people labeled: “America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee, and Crown They Good With Brotherhood, from Sea to Shining Sea.” There are about 200 waters involved.
Before filling the bottles, I felt led of the Lord to grab one of my tuning forks that is tuned to 528Hz. I have been studying light and sound for quite some time. About four years ago, I was introduced to the ancient solfeggio six-toned scale that was used in the ancient Hebrew culture and the early church until the 1300’s when our seven-tone scale changed things. You can verify this by looking up the individual syllables Ut- Re-Mi-Fa-So-La in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. I want to share more about it, but this is already too long. I rang 528 Hz and stuck it into the boiling kettle of water. The reason I chose it is that it is the frequency that scientists use for repairing DNA. And surely the DNA of our country needs that!! So, all of the water in the small bottles carry that frequency as water carries sound. If this is a stretch for you, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
At present, I’m planning to set up and teach a seminar on sound and light, quantum physics insights, and demonstrate the tuning forks and their unique frequencies that facilitate healing to the body thru the original frequencies of the scale that were used in King David’s day and the Tabernacle of David. This is not new age stuff. This is scientific and reliable historical fact that has been stifled by religious mindsets and picked up by some new agers who were open to it.
In May I was honored to meet Dr Len Horowitz in Vancouver, WA when he spoke at a seminar about 528 Hz. He actually lives in Sandpoint, ID and is a man of great genius, courage, and integrity. He has written numerous cutting edge books concerning public health. He holds a master’s degree from Harvard in Public Health and isn’t just mouthing off like some “experts”. He is also a Messianic Jewish believer, who openly confessed he knows Jesus as Messiah. He has been a key player in the restoration of the original scale and is also a personal friend and co-worker with Marsuro Emoto, the Japanese scientist who has studied water and the effects of speaking to it. You can get Emoto's books “The Hidden Messages of Water” or “The True Power of Water” at Barnes and Nobles. You can also go to Dr Horowitz’s website: www.tetrahedron.org, or just google Dr Len Horowitz. He is a brilliant man and I sensed a humility in his personal quest to challenge corruption in high places and educate the public regardless of the cost and attacks on him personally.
When I met him, he was very interested in my gathering and mingling the waters and what I have done across America in intercession. He understood it from a scientific logical point of view. I’m telling you this so you can see that it is going to be of great scientific interest beyond the initial purposes of prophetic prayer and intercession in the days ahead. You are part of it. In fact, he invited me to a symposium on water next year in Toronto, Canada. This could get very interesting.
This is where you come in.
I have decided to take my several gallons of precious gathered waters and begin to make it available to people on a donation basis only. In other words, it’s not for free. As I’ve prayed, I felt I was to ask a minimum of $111 for the small bottles. You will remember that is one of my most anointed numbers and it actually began the summer of 2000 when the water journey took me westward and I poured the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific. Come to think of it, 8-08-08 is 888 X 111, for multiplied new beginnings. I was also quite delighted to realize recently that it is the interval between the six ancient solfeggio frequencies as they ascend or descend. I have always thought it was a transitional number for an anointing that brings alignment or tuning. I will share more about this in the seminar teaching which I'm hoping to have ready before I leave in Sept.
If your mind is going tilt and $111 is too much for a little water, you haven’t comprehended what I am telling you. Those priceless gallons have cost me dearly. They represent years on the road, dozens of changes, beds, meetings, and thousands of dollars in gas and miles plus hours of driving alone time in prayer and intercession over this great nation. If it’s too much to ask, don’t go further with me and spare me the griping. I can’t understand why that which has cost me everything should be cheap to someone else. If this is just a little water, you’ll miss the mystic beauty secrets and coming revelation that will shock and surprise all of us. I’ve seen glimpses of it and I’m amazed.
If you find it is too much personally, why not go together with some friends at church or intercessors? I’m looking for those who will partner with me financially for this roof-top experience in Eastport-al Maine and also will pray for me and my friend, Rainie, as we travel up the coastline of Maine. I’m also seeing the possibilities of us praying at the same time across America, with the gathered 528 Hz frequency tuned waters in your area and calling for the healing of our nation together on Oct 10-11. Truly He can heal our land and waters. By the way the timing of this happens to be the day after Yom Kippur and right before the Feast of Tabernacles. And to add to that it will be before the elections.
To those of you quick to act, I’m going to send you a delightful bonus. As I cleaned out my van recently, I found the small Israel stones quarried from the Dead Sea area where Joshua said “These stones have heard…” Last year, David Van Koevering gave me about 35 small rectangular cut stones to give out as I felt led. I kept forgetting about it and think they have been reserved for such a time as this, in connection with the waters. He gives out these same stones with his Quantum Physics teaching manuel about matter and rocks retaining a memory. The stones have a hole drilled in them for wearing around your neck on a cord. Some really feel these stones are still recording. Scary, isn’t it?
You can order David’s teachings thru his website: www.elsewhen.com. When you couple that with Emoto’s internationally recognized and respected study that water retains a memory you can see that we have entered a dimension beyond our current understanding. You can also google Emoto or water studies and you will be quite surprised at what you see. You must know we are party to something HUGE.
As of now, I’m planning to leave on September 15. I will be making a few stops in South Dakota, Minnesota, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. I am pressed for time to get across the country and meet my friend so we can journey up the coast. I’ll be spending several weeks on the east coast again, planning to stop and see Josh at Ft Bragg, NC. I still have dates open and if I come, ask you to be especially sensitive to my personal and financial needs. I’ll need to lean on and lean into you for strength and help. If I cannot come on my way out, I’ll try to schedule in some meetings on my way back to Washington. Just get it touch with me soon.
It is not an easy thing I do. I’m not too happy to have to leave my apartment again, but I cannot bear the thought of letting it go and floating around the country indefinitely. I also hate to leave my beautiful piano that has brought great comfort to me and hopefully joy to you. It is NOT paid for and your gifts are appreciated, needed, and applied. Be sure and get on my website: www.carlareed.com to order CD’s and other products. I’m hearing wonderful reviews on the latest piano CD “Still Waters.” All the CD’s are only $10, so get your order in. Remember I can take credit card donations or orders or you can go to paypal.com. Call me if you have any questions or problems.
With that I close this long epistle to the chosen who have touched my life with theirs and trust we will continue to partner together as we see the Lord restoring this country.

Dearest Friends across America!!
Blessings and Greetings to all of you from Liberty Lake!! I trust you are enjoying these gorgeous summer days and already sensing the hint of fall in the air and the buzz of back-to-school shopping and expectation.
I’m choosing to send this out to you on 8-08-08 for the obvious reasons we all need some new beginnings and breakthroughs. It is a once in a lifetime date and I'm sharing a once in a lifetime open door.
If this newsletter gets long, take it in bytes. You don’t eat a whole pie at once, do you? Print this one out. What takes me hours to write you can read in minutes, so what’s the problem? If you are those who have trouble downloading, let me know and I’ll try to break it up for you.
As fall approaches I need to share something of utmost importance with you. I don’t know that I have ever shared anything more serious as our nation continues to totter on the brink of moral and financial disaster. The distraction of pending elections and financial survival keep us insulated from the fears and concerns we all feel. As with Queen Esther and the saving of the Jewish nation, when the enemy had a plot, God already had a plan in place. Let us not lose sight of the Hope of His Glorious Divine Intervention in the knotted affairs of men, politics, economics, and religion. Surely we too, have come into the kingdom for such a time as this.
For several weeks now I have been feeling the gnawing intensity of the intercession over America that started in 2000 when I began collecting and praying over the waters of our country. Not really sure why I was doing it, except that it gave us a prophetic picture of the unity of streams coming together in one mighty flow. Many of you participated in this amazing journey of gathering and pouring out the waters as we met in your cities and at the shorelines of rivers, lakes, and oceans. You have been with me in the mystic way of the Spirit that links us together even when we are apart. If you have been part of the water journey, this email will be especially meaningful.
Last month, I shared with you that I felt the Lord was speaking to me about going to Eastport, Maine. This is the far northern and easternmost city of our nation and the fourth corner of the country for me to stand and pray on the shores and pour out the waters. While I have always wanted to visit the beauty of the northeast in the fall of the year, the idea of going out, hanging out, and being out for several weeks was more than I could bear.
In June and July, I was in and out numerous times into Washington and Idaho stretching myself far too thin, and trying to do what it took to keep my boat afloat. When I returned last week, I was exhausted and upset. Offerings and honorariums are down and all the expenses are up. At one AG church is southern Idaho I ministered in two wonderful Sunday services. The church treasurer handed me a check for $75. I was heartsick as I had so needed the income for upcoming rent and other expenses. The beautiful couple who had arranged the meetings graciously met me at the door with a generous personal check, but I was still so grieved I didn’t want to ever subject myself to stingy church people again. In fact, I refused the check, something I have never done. It was not that they were poor, the treasurer was a tightwad. Why is it some people want the most from me for the least from them? This bargain mentality has so invaded the church that it has crippled and destroyed many genuinely anointed itinerant ministries willing to go to the small places and starved out the best of us.
Fortunately, not everyone is like that and if it were not for generous and gracious people like yourselves, I would have quit a long time ago. What has happened, however, is that my confidence in who I am and what I do has been badly shaken. I wonder if I’m just crazy and hearing God at all. The fact is, I’m so deep in debt right now from traveling that I don’t know how I’ll ever get out, unless He intervenes. It began for me when I moved to Moses Lake in 2002 and tried to set up housekeeping again for Josh and I. Before I knew what hit me, I was way over my head and by the time I left in 2005, I had more debt that I ever dreamed possible and since then, I've added to it. I know many of you are facing similar crisis and my heart goes out to all of those who are going and doing all they know and it still isn’t enough.
I’m taking the risk of being vulnerable with you that you might understand why I’m not in a big hurry to drive to Maine and stick myself out there again. While some of you may admire my gumption to drive across the country by myself, you haven’t seen me in my weak and lonely times when I wonder what it’s all about. At those times, I especially need to hear from you. If the Lord brings my name before you to call or pray, please do it. If He drops the idea of sending a check off in the mail, please listen. I can only interpret your silence as apathy or indifference. I send out numerous emails and hear from so few. Don’t worry, I still love you.
I understand that many of you are very, very busy, just making ends meet yourselves. I have stayed in many of your homes and heard your stories. I agree with you for financial miracles for you and your families. I want it to be a joy to give to me or any other ministry. And yes, all gifts are tax deductible. I can’t tell you how grieved I am when I “get dropped” as people tighten the budget or worse yet, stop because of other issues as they decide you don’t merit their donation anymore. That happened last year when I lost a major base of support because I didn’t bow to the pressure of denouncing the possibility of female-appearing angels. That little episode rippled out to several others who listened to a defamation of character without ever talking to me. How grievous that must be to the Lord when our love and friendships are so shallow.
As it has become increasingly hard to rely on offerings and donations, I have endeavored to do several other things. I still carry some jewelry, my CD’s, Akiane’s books, and most recently some excellent EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency) shields for cell phones and computers designed by my friends, Alyosha and Jody Ryabinov. Ask me about them. Also, I’ve been informing you of the organic whole foods produced by Uri International as I try to build a residual income. My other options seem to be to quit ministry and work for Walmart. Lord, help me. I hear some of you sighing like “Well, that’s too bad, but it’s not my problem.” And therein, seems to lie my problem. I’m not anybody’s problem. I’m far too dependent on the kindness and sporadic generosity of people and frankly, I don’t like it. Would you??
So, why am I even thinking of going to Maine?
I don’t know about you, but it seems the Lord gives me an impossible task at the most inconvenient times and when I already feel life is huge and impossible. I think it is His way of pulling us out of ordinariness and requiring us to lift our sights and our faith into the realm of the supernatural. And HE loves this country!!!
Last month I shared with you my previous experiences of going to Neah Bay, WA, Imperial Beach, CA and Key West, FL, praying at 3 touchstone corners of America. I also wrote to you of my first supernatural trip to Maine in Nov, 2004, and my second trip the next year, July 2005. I believe it is this third trip to Maine, specifically Eastport, that will top off the journey of a 48 state prayer journey. I just casually used the words “top off” and if you look at Eastport, ME, it is surely a top off place.
In mid-July as I was wrestling with the Lord over going, I happened to go to the office of the apartments where I live during the day. I usually wait until the office closes and go to the conference room in the evening to get online so I can utilize the wireless signal and it’s quieter in the evening. This particular day, I had an evening commitment so I went over mid-afternoon. I noticed we had a new lady manager, so I stopped by to say hello and ask about the former manager. The assistant manager, a man, knows I love the apartments and speak well of them. After greeting the new manager, I turned to leave. He quipped to the new lady, “Yea, she’s our main representative.” What an odd thing to say, I mused, as I started to open the front door. It was then I realized he had prophesied to me and didn’t know it. For in my spirit, I heard, “Yea, she’s our Main-e representative”. I couldn’t help but cast a smile upwards and admit the Lord got me right then and there.
In July, I spent about 5 days in the Tri-Cities area feeling hung out and strung out with a minimal offering to show for it. I was tired and grieved. On my way home I was determined NOT to go to Maine. I’m just not doing it!! And that’s that!!
The next night I went to the apartment office to catch up on emails. I also decided to call my friend, Susan East, who lives near Chambersburg, PA. I wanted to let her know that Kathie Walters will be coming to Spokane on August 22-24. I had met Kathie at a conference Susan had hosted in February and Kathie had prayed and spoken healing and insight to me after the Jezebel spirit ordeal in Nov and Dec. I hate to break it to you, but sometimes there ain’t nobody meaner than church folks who operate in a self-righteous spirit. If you’ve ever gone thru’ a church split, you know what I mean. And altho’ there was a split in my church following the attacks upon me and several others last year, I’m happy to tell you that the good guys stayed, and I’ve been able to return to the pastors, church, and people I’ve loved. I’ll leave it at that.
When I called Susan, her voicemail kicked in and I left a message. Awhile later she called all excited. She had been at a meeting near Gettysburg, PA at a church that is experiencing revival. She told me the location of the church was 7 miles west of Gettysburg on Hwy 30. I remarked to her that last year in August on my way back from New Jersey to Chambersburg, I had felt compelled of the Lord to drive all of Hwy 30 thru’ the Amish and Mennonite communities of Lancaster, PA and also historic Gettysburg. I passed that very church. Hwy 30 is called the Presidents Hwy because of Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address. I memorized it in 8th grade. Kind of interesting, I live in “Liberty” Lake and visited the Liberty Bell several years ago.
After the service, the pastor of the church had commented to Susan that he really wanted to keep the revival meetings going 7 nights a week. She told him she knew someone he should invite to come and mentioned my name to him. About the same time, she looked at her cell phone and noticed she had a message. It was me. I suppose it could be a coincidence. Ha.
She also told me of another man in Harrisburg who helps set up meetings for speakers and commented she thought I should come. I felt a shimmer of excitement in my spirit as she spoke and quickly tried to squelch it in the face of traveling that far when I had just made up my mind I wouldn’t.
However, I couldn’t seem to get Maine off the brain. Shortly after I had emailed you last month, I had even felt the Lord may have given me the date 10-10. I have been seeing 10:10 on my clocks all year attributing it to John 10:10, admitting there has been a thief that has come to kill, steal, and destroy. And doesn't that describe America? Killing unborns, stealing politicians and corruption, and the destruction of families? Yet, HE has come to give ABUNDANT life… then where is it????
On July 16, I tried to lie down for a short rest and to clear my head. I was packing up for a 12 day trip to the Boise and Twin Falls, ID areas, coming back thru’ the Tri-Cities and also Yakima, WA for a conference. As I tried to rest, there it was… Maine… on the brain again. This time I suddenly felt a tug to look at the scriptural reference I shared with you last month about Peter who went on the rooftop to pray and fell into a trance. Then a sheet was let down with four corners with all the unclean animals and the instructions to “Rise up, Peter, kill and eat.” Out of curiosity, I quickly rose up and grabbed my Bible. I was quite surprised and amused to find that the reference to the trance begins in Acts 10:10. AND in 10:11, I quote: “And he saw the sky opened and something like a great sheet lowered by the FOUR CORNERS, descending to the earth.” How’s that for confirmation?? Maybe God really is in this after all.
On July 17, I began my 350 mile drive toward Cascade, ID, north of Boise. I decided to call Susan again as the area code of Pennsylvania is 717 and it was 7-17 and I could wish her a happy 7-17 day! This number has also shown up repeatedly over a year, beginning with an unusual spiritual experience on 7-17-07. Last year, I even looked up numerous 7:17 scriptures. We talked for a short time as I was driving and she again mentioned the possibility of my coming to Pennsylvania. As we hung up, I told the Lord that it would be a very good day to hear from those PA folks if HE were truly leading me. After all it was 7-17. To my surprise, I got two more phone calls that day, both the 717 numbers of the pastor of the church and the area-wide meetings facilitator. Neither knew the other had called and Susan didn’t know either. The pastor called twice wanting to set up a time. I was feeling the Holy Ghost crunch of making a decision. In the next few days, they both called again to affirm their desire for me to come and set up some dates, now planned for Sept 28-Oct 6. I have always loved Pennsylvania and learned several years ago that my grandfather’s family came from north of Pittsburgh. But, that’s another story and a good one.
As I’ve been praying about all of this, I feel the Lord has given me a unique strategy to finance the trip and also include you on this monumental journey to the Eastport(al) of America. Considering Peter’s rooftop vision, I’d say Eastport(al) can be considered a rooftop and that Acts 10:10-11 happens to coincide with 10-10-11. As for the sheet, I continue to see the map of America before me and that our nation has many unclean beasts, creeps, and crawly things. I believe the command to kill and eat is not that we fight violence with similar violence calling down the wrath of God. I rather think the Lord is killing our prejudices (like tattoos:) and that He is taking the glorious gospel to the ‘gentiles’ of our times, the sick, weak, foolish, pierced, drugged, alcoholic, and immoral. Those who do not fit our religious paradigms and approval. Ouch.
Now it gets even better.
Right before my trip to the Boise area, I did something I had been meaning to do for a long time. I pulled out all the water bottles that were stored under my sinks, under the seats in my car and every other nook and cranny. I had felt the need to begin making the waters available to people for intercession and also funding. It was a strange sight to behold and I happened to take some pictures that I will attach. I emptied all the bottles and listed the newer waters as I poured them into a huge metal kettle to boil out any impurities. I wanted to put them in small bottles to send to people labeled: “America, America, God Shed His Grace on Thee, and Crown They Good With Brotherhood, from Sea to Shining Sea.” There are about 200 waters involved.
Before filling the bottles, I felt led of the Lord to grab one of my tuning forks that is tuned to 528Hz. I have been studying light and sound for quite some time. About four years ago, I was introduced to the ancient solfeggio six-toned scale that was used in the ancient Hebrew culture and the early church until the 1300’s when our seven-tone scale changed things. You can verify this by looking up the individual syllables Ut- Re-Mi-Fa-So-La in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. I want to share more about it, but this is already too long. I rang 528 Hz and stuck it into the boiling kettle of water. The reason I chose it is that it is the frequency that scientists use for repairing DNA. And surely the DNA of our country needs that!! So, all of the water in the small bottles carry that frequency as water carries sound. If this is a stretch for you, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
At present, I’m planning to set up and teach a seminar on sound and light, quantum physics insights, and demonstrate the tuning forks and their unique frequencies that facilitate healing to the body thru the original frequencies of the scale that were used in King David’s day and the Tabernacle of David. This is not new age stuff. This is scientific and reliable historical fact that has been stifled by religious mindsets and picked up by some new agers who were open to it.
In May I was honored to meet Dr Len Horowitz in Vancouver, WA when he spoke at a seminar about 528 Hz. He actually lives in Sandpoint, ID and is a man of great genius, courage, and integrity. He has written numerous cutting edge books concerning public health. He holds a master’s degree from Harvard in Public Health and isn’t just mouthing off like some “experts”. He is also a Messianic Jewish believer, who openly confessed he knows Jesus as Messiah. He has been a key player in the restoration of the original scale and is also a personal friend and co-worker with Marsuro Emoto, the Japanese scientist who has studied water and the effects of speaking to it. You can get Emoto's books “The Hidden Messages of Water” or “The True Power of Water” at Barnes and Nobles. You can also go to Dr Horowitz’s website: www.tetrahedron.org, or just google Dr Len Horowitz. He is a brilliant man and I sensed a humility in his personal quest to challenge corruption in high places and educate the public regardless of the cost and attacks on him personally.

Dearly Loved of the Father,
Blessings to each of you once again. It has been awhile since my last email letter, so I want to catch you up on all that has happened just in the last month or so. I never cease being amazed at the diversity of people, places, and events that can happen in a short period of time.
Many of us feel like we are in accelerated time, cramming more in a week or month than some people do in a year. I’m sure I’ve lived more than one lifetime already. I’ve certainly driven more miles than many people ever do in a lifetime.
So here goes… but first the “announcements.”
1. I’m resending the attachment for the new piano CD titled “Still Waters“. Some were not able to open it and I’m hoping that can be remedied. Those who have listened are enjoying it and I’m confident you will too. The CD’s are only $10. So order one for yourself and a friend. I know people copy CD’s (I’m guilty too), but I ask you to order for others as that is the way I make my living. Thanks for being sensitive. Also, get online and order any of the others that you do not have. The Mysteries of the Deep CD continues to be the most popular and I love hearing testimonies about it. Send me yours.
Remember, I can take checks, credit cards, or you can use Paypal. Call me. 509-599-0433
2. I’m hearing many fresh reports and concerns expressed about food shortages and the need to have resources on hand. As I hear about it, I’m compelled to once again encourage you to visit the website for Uri International. These are complete live organic whole foods that have been dehydrated, vacuum sealed, and packaged for optimum nutrition. All you need is water. What better way to get what you need! Visit the website to listen to the presentations and facts about our modern food supplies. The website is www.uriinternational.com/urisong. My member number is #24169. There is a one time $9.95 fee to sign up and you can order as much as you want every month without signing up. If you do, I strongly urge you get the one time - first time only package deals to fill your food reserves and make it part of your monthly food budget. I’m always amazed that people will spend $35 on one or two meals eating out and think it’s too expensive to buy a 30 day supply of optimum nutrition for the same amount. I have been absolutely amazed at how the products have revitalized my own health and to my surprise, changed a lot of my tastes. In fact if I try to put something in my mouth that isn’t necessarily good for me, I can hardly swallow it. My body is going: “Get that outta here!” I’ve even been able to lose several pounds ‘cause it’s so nutritionally satisfying without the calories and carbs. Give it a go.
The month of June was very busy. On June 6, I received an email in the evening concerning the death of a very special long time friend, Leslie Crevier, 58, in Elkton, SD. Leslie had bravely fought against a cancerous tumor and slipped into the arms of Jesus that morning. She had her husband, Marc, were mom and dad to my youngest son, Joshua, in the year 2001 when he stayed with them for several months while I made an extensive trip to the northwest. That trip positioned us for the following year, 2002, when we moved to Moses Lake, WA. Leslie was also my favorite hairdresser and no one could do hair like she did. For those of you who ever heard the story about my purple hair dream, she was the one who came to my rescue. Leslie had a way of working on your heart while she worked on your hair. She was a treasure to all who knew her.
I received word that evening at 8:00 pm and yearned deeply to be at her funeral, see all the Crevier family and many long time friends who would be there. Something about a funeral pulls us back together and puts things in perspective. At 9:00 pm, I closed up my computer and said, “I’m going.” With that I hurried back to my apartment, packed in record time and left the next morning at 7:00 am to begin the two day, 1300 mile drive to Sioux Falls, SD. Amazingly, my schedule was clear for about 10 days. There I was able to stay with my oldest son, Steven, and his family and able to attend the funeral on Monday, June 9 in Brookings, SD. While the reason for the trip was saddening, the scenery across Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota was breathtakingly beautiful and greenery at it’s finest. It was as if the Lord had laid out the green carpet across the vastness of the land. Due to all the rain, the landscapes were lush and dotted with wildflowers, trees, and bushes. It was exquisite to say the least.
Interestingly enough, I had been feeling very, very homesick for my family in SD. Because of the trip, I was able to see both my son and his family, my daughter and her family, both my mom and dad. All in different places about 150 miles apart. All in all, I was blessed to see 8 of my 11 grandchildren who live in SD and find out that #12 is on the way. I’m delighted and my grandma quiver is getting full.
My mother is living near my youngest brother in Neligh, NE. I was with her the night the tornado ripped thru a boy scout campground about 100 miles away in Iowa, across the river from Omaha, NE. Still too close for comfort. How fragile our lives seem to be. Let us celebrate life, friendships, and family as much as possible!! Truly, I celebrate each of you and how blessed and honored I am to have you in my life and know that the Lord has truly graced us to enjoy our days on earth together.
I returned on June 15, with a few days to regain my momentum, when I was blessed to host two wonderful Christian men from New Jersey, Pastor Jim Mandel and his delightful sidekick, Sam. They had desired to visit the Spokane area to meet with several people and leaders and see the beautiful northwest. I drove them across the state of Washington for a meeting in the Seattle area and we came back thru part of the beautiful Cascade mountain range and lush forests. Sam was sure beauty like this was only on postcards. I hope I’m enticing you to come out as well.
It was my delight to be with three wonderful New Jersey churches and their pastors in February and we began to see some wonderful manifestations in the Glory of the Lord’s Presence. You can access some excellent pictures at www.Glorytothenations.org. Be sure and look at all the pictures. One of them was taken of me as I prayed for people and a beautiful circle of light is at my side. Many feel that digital photography is capturing angelic presence and this is certainly an amazing picture.
This weekend, I am headed back to the Seattle area to some meetings that were scheduled earlier. I will once again drive I-90 across the state, praying as I go and enjoying the beauty of our Creator. To date, I think I have driven every mile of I-90 from Seattle, WA to Boston, MA. I like to think of Psalms 90 when I consider this major interstate ribbon across America.
Speaking of America, I must tell you I grieve over the insanity and foolishness of our government, judges, politicians, and media. But that is not truly the land of America, the Beautiful. We have arrogant men and women who have usurped, corrupted, and manipulated their way into leadership and who have lost touch with common people. I consider them trespassers and traitors, and I have never witnessed such fear mongering and tragedy across our country. I'm grateful for Godly leaders at such a time as this.
With that thought, I need to share something VERY IMPORTANT!!
Please bear with me to the end.
Beloved friends, I have an important prayer request. I’m asking you to pray and intercede for me as I consider making another cross country trip to the far northeast this fall. Ever since my trip to Florida and the east coast in Jan, Feb, and March, I have been stirred in my spirit about our nation. You may recall I was able to drive to Key West, Fl to stand and pray at the southernmost point of America. Those amazing pictures are available on my website: www.carlareed.com.
While there in Key West, the Lord reaffirmed my call to intercede and cover this land in prayer. He once told me I’d go to all 50 states, and I now have stood in 48 of the 50, with only Alaska and Hawaii remaining. Also, I have stood to pray in three corners of America. Joshua and I went to Neah Bay, WA, the far northwest tip of Washington state in 2002. In 2006, on a trip to southern California, I linked up with key leadership and stepped into our border waters at Imperial Beach, south of San Diego. At that time, we also prayed at Mt Solidad, the site of the huge cross that has since been covered up because it offends the ACLU. How ridiculous! In all three corners, I have poured out the waters (your waters) of America praying for our great nation.
At present, the only corner missing is northern Maine. I have been to Maine twice already in past trips, but not the far northwest region on the Atlantic Ocean. Since returning from the east coast in March, I keep feeling the need to wrap things up and get in that fourth corner. I’m not sure I understand completely why, but I know the Lord makes many things known as we go in faith. HE loves America too.
Today, as I contemplated the trip, I’m overwhelmed with the enormity and expense of another cross country trip, but also with the enormity of the honor and blessing to represent the Lord’s heart over this nation. I have tried to dismiss it in my mind as unnecessary, but it keeps surfacing in my spirit like a Divine indigestion. Just doesn’t seem to go away.
Also today, the Lord reminded me of the vision of Peter on the roof top of Joppa in Acts 10:8-20. Be sure and read it. He had a vision of a sheet let down from heaven with many unclean creatures in it. Then he was commanded three times to kill and eat. After steadfastly refusing to eat the unclean meat, the Lord spoke to him: “ What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding and calling common and unhallowed or unclean.”
I see America. It is a sheet full of unclean animals and people. Typically a sheet has four corners. I have a large map of the United States on my wall above my desk. It is full of pins where I have traveled. As I look up and pray over our country, I grieve over the terrible atrocities of abortion, pornography, immorality, drug and alcohol addictions, however, I’m reminded He still has a purpose and a plan. He sends us to those we call unclean and unholy. He wants to visit them too.
A few years ago I had another similar vision. I was sitting in a church meeting in Framingham, MA, where I had just met John Paul Jackson of Streams Ministries who was pastoring a new work there called The Bridge. Another lovely couple, Joe and Julie, had arranged for me to come and I was quite mystified how it came about. That was the year in 2004 when I flew into Boston to pray at Plymouth Rock and visit the Boston Statehouse. As I sat in worship, I saw another map of the United States. This time it was like America was hanging on a clothesline with the clothespins on Washington and Maine. At that time, I had not even considered going to Maine. Surely, America has been hung out to dry.
Within moments the thought went thru my head that I wanted to go to Maine. In fact, I specifically thought of Portland, ME as I had already been to Portland, OR. I seem to do many things in doubles. With that a desire rose up in me, altho’ I had no idea how it might happen.
After the meeting, a precious lady named Rainie came up to me. She mentioned she had heard what I did with water. She was from the coast of Maine and her family once had the purest water in the region, bottling it to send it all over. She handed me a sample of it. She wondered if I had any interest in going to Maine while I was in the area. Well, you could have blown me over. “I just thought of it“, I exclaimed!
She wondered if and when I could go. I said tomorrow is open and within 24 hours of my vision of the map of America on a clothesline, I was on my way to Portland, Maine and beyond. Rainie introduced me to my first Maine lobster on that trip and we prayed at the very springs her family had owned at Falmouth on Casco Bay. I marveled then at the ways the Lord speaks His directives to us.
The very next summer in 2005, I had driven to the east coast again. This time, I was blessed to visit Rainie, The Bridge, and many new friends in Massachusetts and also to drive up to Maine in the Glory Van to a conference held in Waterville (of course). At that time, connections were made in the Spirit from Washington to Maine once again, what I called the clothespin states.
This will be my third trip and far more extensive. I have always said if I go to the northeast again, I’d like to do it in the fall when the leaves change color. I guess that means change!!! I’m sensing this is my year to go. With gas prices continuing to rise, it doesn’t seem like a good time, but I doubt they’ll come down anytime soon and some predict continuing rising prices. I can’t seem to get rid of the nagging feeling that the time is NOW and ASAP. I would plan to be there before the elections. This might be one of the "maine" reasons I'm going.
The reason I drive instead of flying is simply this… the Glory Van is (tire)treading the land and every place I put my feet and my tires allows me to connect people, places, and prayers. We are linking hearts and hands across America and if you could see what I see, you would be so excited at how the Lord is laying such a vast network of His Divine connections. I wish I could take you all with me and I do in spirit.
I would not go unless I felt I was being sent. Peter in the vision was being sent to those he considered unclean and common. Three men from the house of Cornelius were waiting for him to accompany them back to Caesarea and there the Holy Spirit fell in unprecedented ways on the unlikely ones. By the way, I’m sure we’ve all noticed by now that the revival in Lakeland, FL, controversy and all, is being poured out on the unlikely ones.
Believe me, it is not easy to consider a trip of this magnitude in miles, expense, and mission. I’m asking you to pray about it with me and see what the Lord would have you do to help send me to this strategic fourth corner of America. At present, I’m anticipating leaving about mid-September and working my way across the country. I would be making many stops and setting up meetings to help defray the expenses of gas, travel, and keep the home fires burning. That means I will be driving mainly I-90 across the country with stops within reasonable distances of it. If you are en-route, get in touch with me. I can’t help but feel this might be one of the most important trips I’ve ever made and would ask you to stand with me in prayer and finances. Maybe your church would consider taking a special home missions offering.
In closing, thank you for your friendship, support, generosity and faith in me when I lose heart and hope. You are the wind in my sails and I need to hear from you. Please be praying about monthly support and being part of an intercessory prayer covering. I’m just me and I make no claims to fame, except I want to be obedient to His call:
“ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I, send me.” Isaiah 6:8

Dearly Loved of the Father,
Blessings to each of you once again. It has been awhile since my last email letter, so I want to catch you up on all that has happened just in the last month or so. I never cease being amazed at the diversity of people, places, and events that can happen in a short period of time.
Many of us feel like we are in accelerated time, cramming more in a week or month than some people do in a year. I’m sure I’ve lived more than one lifetime already. I’ve certainly driven more miles than many people ever do in a lifetime.
So here goes… but first the “announcements.”
1. I’m resending the attachment for the new piano CD titled “Still Waters“. Some were not able to open it and I’m hoping that can be remedied. Those who have listened are enjoying it and I’m confident you will too. The CD’s are only $10. So order one for yourself and a friend. I know people copy CD’s (I’m guilty too), but I ask you to order for others as that is the way I make my living. Thanks for being sensitive. Also, get online and order any of the others that you do not have. The Mysteries of the Deep CD continues to be the most popular and I love hearing testimonies about it. Send me yours.
Remember, I can take checks, credit cards, or you can use Paypal. Call me. 509-599-0433
2. I’m hearing many fresh reports and concerns expressed about food shortages and the need to have resources on hand. As I hear about it, I’m compelled to once again encourage you to visit the website for Uri International. These are complete live organic whole foods that have been dehydrated, vacuum sealed, and packaged for optimum nutrition. All you need is water. What better way to get what you need! Visit the website to listen to the presentations and facts about our modern food supplies. The website is www.uriinternational.com/urisong. My member number is #24169. There is a one time $9.95 fee to sign up and you can order as much as you want every month without signing up. If you do, I strongly urge you get the one time - first time only package deals to fill your food reserves and make it part of your monthly food budget. I’m always amazed that people will spend $35 on one or two meals eating out and think it’s too expensive to buy a 30 day supply of optimum nutrition for the same amount. I have been absolutely amazed at how the products have revitalized my own health and to my surprise, changed a lot of my tastes.

To My Very Dear Friends:
It is rare for me to pass along a video clip, but this is such a rare jewel among many!
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/374280
Yesterday, on Saturday morning and this morning in Lakeland, FL at the revival meetings, a precious woman of God who I consider a true friend and mentor spoke and ministered there. Her name is Dr Clarice Fluitt and some of you have heard me talk about her. Some of you may even recognize the impartation into my own life of rhyme and song and some sayings I've used. Now you know where my occasional lapses into a rap come from. By the way, ask me sometime to share about the time the Lord downloaded a rap on me when I spoke a black church in North Carolina. It is one of my funniest stories.
Having traveled far and wide and heard many wonderful men and women of God, I know of no other who speaks and ministers more powerfully in the prophetic song, word, and message. You will be delighted at what you hear and see. It will be the antidote for whatever is ailing you. I myself felt wonderfully refreshed after listening. This morning's message at Ignited Church as Dr Clarice spoke will also be available, but wanted to pass this one along first. Be prepared for FRESH bread with lots of butter and jam!!! How sweet and sustaining are the words fresh from heaven.
I've known Drs George and Clarice Fluitt since 1999 when I first met them at a conference in Belle Fourche, SD called 'Revival in the Heartland'! How I wish I could tell you what happened then. It's a grrrrreaaat story. The Fluitts have ministered several times and been hosted by my fellow South Dakota friends, Cliff and Chris Crago, who pastor New Covenenant Tabernacle near Belle Fourche, which by the way is the geograpic center of the United States - that is all 50 states. Check it out on Rand McNally. I was blessed to be with Cliff and Chris last summer when I shared about the gemstones. They have a real western ranch and real hearts of love for God and people
Two years ago in 2006 when I was in North Carolina, I made two trips to California. On both of them I was able to stop in Monroe, LA and spend time with George and Clarice in their home. We still talk on the phone from time to time, but she is in great demand and you will see why. I have recommended her ministry to several and will continue to be very grateful for those who mentor and teach us the deeper things of the Lord. In addition to my deepest love and appeciation for the ministry of Ruth Ward Heflin, more than any other, Clarice has impacted my life with impartation, wisdom, and excellence.
I trust you will not just get "touched", but will feel the radical and powerful transformation when she opens her mouth to speak and sing. Be prepared to laugh!! I know of no other like her. She has many humorous stories to share and you will laugh and love all that Father is doing in this marvelous hour of revival! What Glorious days, these days are!!
Let me know what you think and be greatly enriched and blessed in His Glorious Grace!!!
Love to all, Carla

To My Very Dear Friends:
It is rare for me to pass along a video clip, but this is such a rare jewel among many!
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/374280
Yesterday, on Saturday morning and this morning in Lakeland, FL at the revival meetings, a precious woman of God who I consider a true friend and mentor spoke and ministered there. Her name is Dr Clarice Fluitt and some of you have heard me talk about her. Some of you may even recognize the impartation into my own life of rhyme and song and some sayings I've used. Now you know where my occasional lapses into a rap come from. By the way, ask me sometime to share about the time the Lord downloaded a rap on me when I spoke a black church in North Carolina. It is one of my funniest stories.
Having traveled far and wide and heard many wonderful men and women of God, I know of no other who speaks and ministers more powerfully in the prophetic song, word, and message. You will be delighted at what you hear and see. It will be the antidote for whatever is ailing you. I myself felt wonderfully refreshed after listening. This morning's message at Ignited Church as Dr Clarice spoke will also be available, but wanted to pass this one along first. Be prepared for FRESH bread with lots of butter and jam!!! How sweet and sustaining are the words fresh from heaven.
I've known Drs George and Clarice Fluitt since 1999 when I first met them at a conference in Belle Fourche, SD called 'Revival in the Heartland'! How I wish I could tell you what happened then. It's a grrrrreaaat story. The Fluitts have ministered several times and been hosted by my fellow South Dakota friends, Cliff and Chris Crago, who pastor New Covenenant Tabernacle near Belle Fourche, which by the way is the geograpic center of the United States - that is all 50 states. Check it out on Rand McNally. I was blessed to be with Cliff and Chris last summer when I shared about the gemstones. They have a real western ranch and real hearts of love for God and people
Two years ago in 2006 when I was in North Carolina, I made two trips to California. On both of them I was able to stop in Monroe, LA and spend time with George and Clarice in their home. We still talk on the phone from time to time, but she is in great demand and you will see why. I have recommended her ministry to several and will continue to be very grateful for those who mentor and teach us the deeper things of the Lord. In addition to my deepest love and appeciation for the ministry of Ruth Ward Heflin, more than any other, Clarice has impacted my life with impartation, wisdom, and excellence.
I trust you will not just get "touched", but will feel the radical and powerful transformation when she opens her mouth to speak and sing. Be prepared to laugh!! I know of no other like her. She has many humorous stories to share and you will laugh and love all that Father is doing in this marvelous hour of revival! What Glorious days, these days are!!
Let me know what you think and be greatly enriched and blessed in His Glorious Grace!!!
Love to all, Carla

E-News- Recent trip to Beautiful Idaho & Pictures

Dearest Friends,
Blessings to each of you once again!!
I trust you are enjoying receiving the emails and I’m especially delighted to send you some magnificent pictures I took on this most recent trip. I think they will tell the story of our Father’s creation far better than I can paint with words.
I left on April 10 to drive 400 miles into the beautiful Idaho wilderness. Yes, some wilderness places can be beautiful!!!! I was blessed to speak at the Southern Idaho Women’s Aglow Retreat where we enjoyed the beauty of Living Waters Ranch and also the Beauty and Holiness of our Lord as we worshipped and fellowshipped with one another. We had a unique time of sharing and His Presence was sweet. Debbie James cooked up delicious wonderful meals for us and we feasted in many ways. You can go online to visit the site of this beautiful place at www.LivingWatersRanch.org. If you are needing a place for a retreat, conference, or get-away, this is it!!! You will be so blessed by the spirit of excellence in beautiful surroundings, generosity and hospitality offered by Christopher and Debbie James and their staff.
After the Aglow Retreat, I drove about 150 miles across Idaho to Idaho Falls and Blackfoot to visit several long time friends. The snow is still dusting the hills and beauty was everywhere. It’s a long drive across that part of the state and includes going thru a Nuclear Testing Site near Arco that has employed many in government jobs. It gets a bit barren crossing that area and you wonder what kind of stuff really goes on out there.
Toward the end of last week, I found my way across I-86 from Pocatello towards Twin Falls, ID then I-84 to a conference in Caldwell, ID. Mike and Ruth Lightfoot of Fathers House Ministries hosted a large gathering of many old time friends and new ones who came together in a special time of rejoicing and instruction.
Many have felt a fresh stirring of the Holy Spirit in the Boise and Nampa area. You might remember that is where Roland Buck first had major encounters with angels in 1977 or so. His book, Angels on Assignment, is a classic look at what happens when the supernatural invades the natural and how a church and lives are changed.
We will be seeing more angelic activity in the days ahead and I think it’s wonderful. Tho’ I have not yet seen an angel manifested, I have felt their presence about me. If you have had an angelic encounter, I’d surely like to hear about it.
Some of you may be aware that a major revival is breaking out in Lakeland, FL with Todd Bentley as the speaker. You can go to the Fresh Fire website www.freshfire.ca for information and watch live streaming from the meetings. This powerful move will surely affect America and our youth. I was blessed to be there at the Ignited Church in January when Kaye Beyer and Joshua and Janet Mills hosted a conference. Many wonderful ministries are based in Florida and the synergy will create and sustain the move of God we are all longing for. Let’s rejoice with them and go when you can!!!
Don’t forget to visit the website for updates, products, and pictures. I will be adding more as is possible. www.carlareed.com. You can also access all the previous newsletters and finish reading them if you didn’t have time or are new to the mailing list. If you change your email address, please let me know. That is how I lose people as emails are returned and I’d surely love to stay in touch with you.
Hoping many of you will also visit the website for the incredibly wonderful and affordable whole food products by Uri. Go to www.uriinternational.com/urisong for information. There is still a great Feast starter pack for new customers for $43.95. Be sure and call them at 1-888-940-4001 and mention the special code: MAG1-24169 to get the price. You can’t go wrong with a 90 day money back guarantee too.
Beloved ones, please continue to stand with me financially and prayerfully. You are each deeply appreciated and I’m so very grateful for the wonderful network of friendships across America. You support makes it possible.
There remains a large financial need to cover previous expenses and go forward. For any size donation, I’d like to bless you with the CD of your choice or “My Story”. For a $100 donation or more, I’ll be happy to send you Akiane’s art book. If you already have these items, perhaps you’d like me to send something as a gift to a friend or family member for a birthday or special occasion. Just let me know. You can see them on the website. Also be sure and visit Akiane’s website at www.akiane.com. You can send a check to me or use your credit card for a purchase or donation. Thanks so very much for your friendship and generosity.
I’d really enjoy hearing from you. I’m not too busy for a phone call or to read emails. I try to respond as quickly as I can. In a day when much is pulling on us, let us not be pulled apart.
My love to all,
Carla

Pictures from beautiful scenic Idaho! So much more to offer besides potatoes!

Dear Friends,
These are some pictures I took while traveling recently on Hwy 93 south of Missoula, MT into Challis, ID. The drive was like weaving your way thru a postcard folio. Several were taken at Living Waters Ranch near Challis and on my way back home from Boise to Coeur D Alene, ID via Hwy 95. Both live up to their 'scenic route' status.
Enjoy!
Blessings, Carla

__________________________________________
On Thursday, I will be leaving Liberty Lake to drive to Challis, ID and speak at the Southern Idaho Region Aglow Ladies Retreat. It will be a wonderful time of seeing many wonderful friends I’ve known for several years since first speaking at Aglow meetings in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Twin Falls. We will be meeting at the beautiful facilities and conference center known as Living Waters Ranch in Challis. Christopher and Debbie James have built and manage one of the most beautiful retreat and conference centers that I’ve ever seen. Add that to the rugged Idaho wilderness and it is a site to behold. If you are looking for a place to have a retreat or church camp, contact them. Their website is: www.LivingWatersRanch.org.
The drive from Liberty Lake to Challis will be about 400 miles and one of the most scenic in America. I ought to know. You drive I-90 to Missoula, MT and then take Hwy 93 south for about 200 miles into the Idaho wilderness. The drive from Salmon, ID to Challis has to be one the most beautiful anywhere. I’ve taken dozens of pictures on my way to or from, so it usually takes me twice as long to get there. Every turn seems to be a postcard as the highway winds along the beautiful Salmon River. Sacagawea of Lewis and Clark fame was born in Salmon, ID and a visitors’ center tells the story.
Just for fun, I’m going to tell you how I first met Christopher and Debbie. The year was 2001 and I was on my way back to the west coast shores to pray and pour out the waters of America. It was the first time I traveled alone. At that time, Josh, then 15, was getting travel weary and had an opportunity to stay with wonderful friends, Marc and Leslie, near Elkton, SD. It has been difficult to say goodbye, but knew he would have a good summer working with Marc on the acreage they had bought and were cleaning up.
That was the summer I spend two weeks in a Wyoming circuit that still connects me to many wonderful friends. I spoke nearly every night in a different place, but I saw the incredible landscapes of Wyoming and began to fall in love with the West. The first summer that Josh and I traveled west was 2000 when we drove via the southern part of the nation that took us thru New Mexico, Arizona and then to California to pray at the Pacific Ocean for the first time in San Juan Capistrano. I could hardly believe we had crossed the country by faith in that old white Plymouth Voyager that eventually wore out. I’ll never forget seeing the ocean for the first time in my life and thinking it was probably a “once in a lifetime” trip for Josh and I. At that time, I had no idea I would drive across America many times.
That particular trip set me up for some connections the next summer. We must see that our obedience in one thing paves the way and creates a grid of friendships that will allow us to build the net for the Kingdom of God. On the first trip in 2000, I received two invitations to Blackfoot, ID via an email correspondence. Neither party knew the other had contacted me and I had two excellent meetings. I’m very grateful for my friendship to Brian and Susanne Harrison who pastor Father’s House in Blackfoot and who first contacted me in 2000. We have maintained a valuable relationship and I consider Brian a true brother in the Lord.
Also that summer, I met a couple, Carey and Denise Warren of Idaho Falls, who invited me to come the next summer of 2001 and speak at a conference they were hosting. At that time I was sharing about the waters and spoke at their conference and my first Aglow meeting in Idaho Falls. Before I left, we prayed and poured the waters into the beautiful Snake River that runs thru the city and in the shadow of a huge Mormon Tabernacle. While there for several days, I kept hearing about a place somewhere called Living Waters Ranch. I had no idea where it was but every time I heard it, my spirit was quickened in curiosity. As I was leaving, I learned it would be on my way to Salmon, Idaho where I would be speaking at a home group. I decided to call and make a reservation for the night. The manager, Mark, told me about their facilities and made a lovely chalet available for me. It was gorgeous there!! It seemed fitting that the "waterlady" would find such a place.
I happened to arrive about time for the evening meal. Mark invited me to join him and the conference church group that was meeting over the weekend. After getting my plate and meal, a lady named Debbie came up to me. She said she realized I probably wanted time alone, but wanted to invite me to their church conference evening service and mentioned they had a wonderful worship team. I politely thanked her, but had no intentions of going to another meeting when my eyes could behold the beauty of the area outside a gorgeous chalet.
However, something in her invitation drew me and to my surprise I found myself getting ready to go to a meeting I had not planned to go to. I got there for part of the worship and just in time to see a couple dance together the most beautiful elegant dance I’d ever seen about the Bridegroom. It so touched my heart that I didn’t even want to stay for the rest of the meeting and quietly slipped out. I was just meant to see that dance.
The next morning, Christopher came over and offered to take me on a tour of the ranch. The church group was in the process of checking out and we stopped in one of the buildings long enough to meet up again with Debbie, the lady who invited me, and her husband, Rob S. They had just driven through South Dakota taking a daughter to college. I learned they lived near Mt Hood, OR and that many of the group were also from there. They invited me to come and see them if I got to the area. I took down their information and sure enough, I did get to see them and speak at their church near Welches, OR. I still maintain contact and relationships with many wonderful people who live on the mountain who I met by Divine Appointment in Challis, ID. In fact, I was just there last summer again meeting with these fine people of Church Alive.
Fast Forward: When I arrived that first time in Welches, OR in November, 2001, I heard the “rest of the story”. Debbie S had arrived early at Living Waters Ranch that previous August to help prepare for the conference guests who would be coming. She asked Debbie James if there was anything she could do to help. Debbie said they liked to put the names of guests on their doors and pray for them. She had noted my name had been hand-written in and added to the guest roster as I was not one of their conference attendees. She had put my name on the door of the chalet and prayed for me before I even stepped foot on the grounds. When she saw me enter the dining area with Mark, the manager, she thought it might be the Carla Reed she had prayed for. That is why she came over and invited me to the evening service. And, even tho’ I had not planned to go, I found myself strangely drawn by her invitation and had arrived just in time to see Bob and JoAnn dance their beautiful rendition of Jesus, the Bridegroom and the Bride.
Back to my first visit to Challis - or “Back at the Ranch…”
Christopher inquired as to what I did, and I remember wryly asking him: “Do you really want to know?” With that I explained what I was doing with water and he became very excited as he wanted me to pray with them at a well springs up the valley that they hoped to use to bottle water. He also took me back to the dining area to meet the couple who had danced the night before, Bob and JoAnn Rashford, who were working as staff.
As we talked I learned that Christopher and Debbie James had moved up to Idaho from the Tampa, Florida area and that Debbie’s father and step-mother also belonged to the same ministerial fellowship I did in Bradenton, FL, under Dr Gerald Derstine. Small world indeed. We became family. Bob and Jo Ann were in full time ministry and travel, working at the ranch that summer and traveled with Debbie’s folks, George and Barbara Ragland of Eagle Wings Ministry in St Petersburg, FL. In fact, to ‘Fast Forward’ again, I was blessed to stay with George and Barbara Ragland in January. I first met them in January 2002 and we have stayed in touch. Lots of connections sure came out of my stopping that August night in 2001.
The next summer of 2002, Joshua was traveling with me again and we were on our way to the west coast to pray at the Pacific Ocean at Astoria, OR, the end of the Lewis and Clark trail. That summer, we toured thru Yellowstone National Park and to pray at the Old Faithful geyser. After that, we made our way to Idaho Falls, so I could introduce him to my new friends. I also called to make reservations to stay at Living Waters Ranch as I wanted him to see that beautiful place.
When we got there, I leaned that Bob and JoAnn were working for the summer. I introduced Josh to them and we had a good time of visiting. That spring, Josh had turned 16 years old. We had been traveling for a few years and were both getting very road weary. He had taken his GED exam and easily passed, ending our home-schooling years of juggling travel and books. I had sometimes worried if he was learning all he needed to and then he sailed thru his GED tests. What a relief!! With that we wanted to start checking our colleges across the country as he wanted to study Aviation Maintenance. Since he was a small boy he has wanted to fly and learn how airplanes work. As we shared our intentions with Bob and JoAnn, they told us about Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, WA that was known for an outstanding program in Aviation Maintenance. They had lived in Moses Lake before entering the ministry where JoAnn had a dance studio. We took note of it with the idea we might try to visit the college on our way thru the state of Washington.
Within 2-3 weeks, we called the college and stopped in Moses Lake to check out their program as a possibility - some day. To our amazement, they would accept him at 16 years old and he could start that fall, about 6 weeks later. We learned that if I moved to Washington, the college would waive most of the out-of-state tuition. At that time tho' everything was in storage, we were still residents of South Dakota. However, Josh was still a minor and it would position us to have our own home again and allow him to fulfill his dream of going to college to study airplanes.
After several phone calls and much prayer, I knew that the Lord was giving us the direction we had been pleading for and that was to move to Moses Lake, WA. I had fallen in love with the northwest the summer and fall before in 2001 when I spent several weeks at another glorious retreat center known as Methow Valley Ranch near Winthop, WA. Check out that beautiful place at www.mvministries.com. So my idea of moving to Washington was mountains and rivers. I was in for a quite the surprise when we did look for a place in Moses Lake to find it was the center of what is called the basin and is the driest area of the state, about 12 inches of rainfall a year. I couldn’t believe it! We were moving to the desert!
The Lord graciously allowed us to find a beautiful condo for rent on Moses Lake which was our home for 2 ½ years until Josh entered the army in 2005. I loved it there even if it was on the 3rd floor with no elevator.
Joshua entered their AMT program in September 2002 and successfully completed five quarters of instruction in General, Airframe, and Power Plant, took all his FFA exams, and to the surprise of the department heads became the youngest person to ever enter their program and complete it before he was 18 years old. We celebrated his 18th birthday on April 1, 2004 with his receiving his signed A & P license. That fall he took some general courses to round out a two year Associate of Science degree. Then he entered the army in March 2005 and has trained as an Apache Helicopter machanic with the 82nd Airborne. He earned his Paratrooper wings in 2005. It was a joy to welcome him home on leave from Iraq last year at this time and in October, he came back after a 15 month tour to Ft Bragg, NC. Spec Joshua Reed just celebrated his 22nd birthday on April 1. If you remember him, you can email him at jreed_amt@hotmail.com, or call him at 509-361-3175. He will be based at Ft Bragg until further deployment possibly to Iraq in 2009.
I call this a Glory Story as I see how the Lord has woven so many of our lives and events together for His Kingdom purposes. It has been nearly 8 years since that first visit to just find out about it. I did not know that our move to Washington state the next summer would be build upon that simple act of obedience. Selah.
In closing, beloved friends, let us celebrate and remember how we met and know that the Lord introduces us for a reason. The Kingdom of God is being built upon relationships and love. Let us love one another.
If I can be of service to you or pray with you, please let me know. Let us cherish and honor our friendships and encourage one another as we watch the Lord unfold His plans for us in the years ahead. Connected on purpose, for a purpose.
Your prayers and financial support are so needed and deeply appreciated. Please continue to stand with me. I will go where I’m invited and thank you for sending me off with your blessings of finances and intercession. All gifts are tax deductible.
To the Glory of HIS Grace,
Carla
These are a few snapshots taken last spring on my way to Challis, ID. I have many more when I can find them.

On Thursday, I will be leaving Liberty Lake to drive to Challis, ID and speak at the Southern Idaho Region Aglow Ladies Retreat. It will be a wonderful time of seeing many wonderful friends I’ve known for several years since first speaking at Aglow meetings in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, and Twin Falls. We will be meeting at the beautiful facilities and conference center known as Living Waters Ranch in Challis. Christopher and Debbie James have built and manage one of the most beautiful retreat and conference centers that I’ve ever seen. Add that to the rugged Idaho wilderness and it is a site to behold. If you are looking for a place to have a retreat or church camp, contact them. Their website is: www.LivingWatersRanch.org.
The drive from Liberty Lake to Challis will be about 400 miles and one of the most scenic in America. I ought to know. You drive I-90 to Missoula, MT and then take Hwy 93 south for about 200 miles into the Idaho wilderness. The drive from Salmon, ID to Challis has to be one the most beautiful anywhere. I’ve taken dozens of pictures on my way to or from, so it usually takes me twice as long to get there. Every turn seems to be a postcard as the highway winds along the beautiful Salmon River. Sacagawea of Lewis and Clark fame was born in Salmon, ID and a visitors’ center tells the story.
Just for fun, I’m going to tell you how I first met Christopher and Debbie. The year was 2001 and I was on my way back to the west coast shores to pray and pour out the waters of America. It was the first time I traveled alone. At that time, Josh, then 15, was getting travel weary and had an opportunity to stay with wonderful friends, Marc and Leslie, near Elkton, SD. It has been difficult to say goodbye, but knew he would have a good summer working with Marc on the acreage they had bought and were cleaning up.
That was the summer I spend two weeks in a Wyoming circuit that still connects me to many wonderful friends. I spoke nearly every night in a different place, but I saw the incredible landscapes of Wyoming and began to fall in love with the West. The first summer that Josh and I traveled west was 2000 when we drove via the southern part of the nation that took us thru New Mexico, Arizona and then to California to pray at the Pacific Ocean for the first time in San Juan Capistrano. I could hardly believe we had crossed the country by faith in that old white Plymouth Voyager that eventually wore out. I’ll never forget seeing the ocean for the first time in my life and thinking it was probably a “once in a lifetime” trip for Josh and I. At that time, I had no idea I would drive across America many times.
That particular trip set me up for some connections the next summer. We must see that our obedience in one thing paves the way and creates a grid of friendships that will allow us to build the net for the Kingdom of God. On the first trip in 2000, I received two invitations to Blackfoot, ID via an email correspondence. Neither party knew the other had contacted me and I had two excellent meetings. I’m very grateful for my friendship to Brian and Susanne Harrison who pastor Father’s House in Blackfoot and who first contacted me in 2000. We have maintained a valuable relationship and I consider Brian a true brother in the Lord.
Also that summer, I met a couple, Carey and Denise Warren of Idaho Falls, who invited me to come the next summer of 2001 and speak at a conference they were hosting. At that time I was sharing about the waters and spoke at their conference and my first Aglow meeting in Idaho Falls. Before I left, we prayed and poured the waters into the beautiful Snake River that runs thru the city and in the shadow of a huge Mormon Tabernacle. While there for several days, I kept hearing about a place somewhere called Living Waters Ranch. I had no idea where it was but every time I heard it, my spirit was quickened in curiosity. As I was leaving, I learned it would be on my way to Salmon, Idaho where I would be speaking at a home group. I decided to call and make a reservation for the night. The manager, Mark, told me about their facilities and made a lovely chalet available for me. It was gorgeous there!! It seemed fitting that the "waterlady" would find such a place.
I happened to arrive about time for the evening meal. Mark invited me to join him and the conference church group that was meeting over the weekend. After getting my plate and meal, a lady named Debbie came up to me. She said she realized I probably wanted time alone, but wanted to invite me to their church conference evening service and mentioned they had a wonderful worship team. I politely thanked her, but had no intentions of going to another meeting when my eyes could behold the beauty of the area outside a gorgeous chalet.
However, something in her invitation drew me and to my surprise I found myself getting ready to go to a meeting I had not planned to go to. I got there for part of the worship and just in time to see a couple dance together the most beautiful elegant dance I’d ever seen about the Bridegroom. It so touched my heart that I didn’t even want to stay for the rest of the meeting and quietly slipped out. I was just meant to see that dance.
The next morning, Christopher came over and offered to take me on a tour of the ranch. The church group was in the process of checking out and we stopped in one of the buildings long enough to meet up again with Debbie, the lady who invited me, and her husband, Rob S. They had just driven through South Dakota taking a daughter to college. I learned they lived near Mt Hood, OR and that many of the group were also from there. They invited me to come and see them if I got to the area. I took down their information and sure enough, I did get to see them and speak at their church near Welches, OR. I still maintain contact and relationships with many wonderful people who live on the mountain who I met by Divine Appointment in Challis, ID. In fact, I was just there last summer again meeting with these fine people of Church Alive.
Fast Forward: When I arrived that first time in Welches, OR in November, 2001, I heard the “rest of the story”. Debbie S had arrived early at Living Waters Ranch that previous August to help prepare for the conference guests who would be coming. She asked Debbie James if there was anything she could do to help. Debbie said they liked to put the names of guests on their doors and pray for them. She had noted my name had been hand-written in and added to the guest roster as I was not one of their conference attendees. She had put my name on the door of the chalet and prayed for me before I even stepped foot on the grounds. When she saw me enter the dining area with Mark, the manager, she thought it might be the Carla Reed she had prayed for. That is why she came over and invited me to the evening service. And, even tho’ I had not planned to go, I found myself strangely drawn by her invitation and had arrived just in time to see Bob and JoAnn dance their beautiful rendition of Jesus, the Bridegroom and the Bride.
Back to my first visit to Challis - or “Back at the Ranch…”
Christopher inquired as to what I did, and I remember wryly asking him: “Do you really want to know?” With that I explained what I was doing with water and he became very excited as he wanted me to pray with them at a well springs up the valley that they hoped to use to bottle water. He also took me back to the dining area to meet the couple who had danced the night before, Bob and JoAnn Rashford, who were working as staff.
As we talked I learned that Christopher and Debbie James had moved up to Idaho from the Tampa, Florida area and that Debbie’s father and step-mother also belonged to the same ministerial fellowship I did in Bradenton, FL, under Dr Gerald Derstine. Small world indeed. We became family. Bob and Jo Ann were in full time ministry and travel, working at the ranch that summer and traveled with Debbie’s folks, George and Barbara Ragland of Eagle Wings Ministry in St Petersburg, FL. In fact, to ‘Fast Forward’ again, I was blessed to stay with George and Barbara Ragland in January. I first met them in January 2002 and we have stayed in touch. Lots of connections sure came out of my stopping that August night in 2001.
The next summer of 2002, Joshua was traveling with me again and we were on our way to the west coast to pray at the Pacific Ocean at Astoria, OR, the end of the Lewis and Clark trail. That summer, we toured thru Yellowstone National Park and to pray at the Old Faithful geyser. After that, we made our way to Idaho Falls, so I could introduce him to my new friends. I also called to make reservations to stay at Living Waters Ranch as I wanted him to see that beautiful place.
When we got there, I leaned that Bob and JoAnn were working for the summer. I introduced Josh to them and we had a good time of visiting. That spring, Josh had turned 16 years old. We had been traveling for a few years and were both getting very road weary. He had taken his GED exam and easily passed, ending our home-schooling years of juggling travel and books. I had sometimes worried if he was learning all he needed to and then he sailed thru his GED tests. What a relief!! With that we wanted to start checking our colleges across the country as he wanted to study Aviation Maintenance. Since he was a small boy he has wanted to fly and learn how airplanes work. As we shared our intentions with Bob and JoAnn, they told us about Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, WA that was known for an outstanding program in Aviation Maintenance. They had lived in Moses Lake before entering the ministry where JoAnn had a dance studio. We took note of it with the idea we might try to visit the college on our way thru the state of Washington.
Within 2-3 weeks, we called the college and stopped in Moses Lake to check out their program as a possibility - some day. To our amazement, they would accept him at 16 years old and he could start that fall, about 6 weeks later. We learned that if I moved to Washington, the college would waive most of the out-of-state tuition. At that time tho' everything was in storage, we were still residents of South Dakota. However, Josh was still a minor and it would position us to have our own home again and allow him to fulfill his dream of going to college to study airplanes.
After several phone calls and much prayer, I knew that the Lord was giving us the direction we had been pleading for and that was to move to Moses Lake, WA. I had fallen in love with the northwest the summer and fall before in 2001 when I spent several weeks at another glorious retreat center known as Methow Valley Ranch near Winthop, WA. Check out that beautiful place at www.mvministries.com. So my idea of moving to Washington was mountains and rivers. I was in for a quite the surprise when we did look for a place in Moses Lake to find it was the center of what is called the basin and is the driest area of the state, about 12 inches of rainfall a year. I couldn’t believe it! We were moving to the desert!
The Lord graciously allowed us to find a beautiful condo for rent on Moses Lake which was our home for 2 ½ years until Josh entered the army in 2005. I loved it there even if it was on the 3rd floor with no elevator.
Joshua entered their AMT program in September 2002 and successfully completed five quarters of instruction in General, Airframe, and Power Plant, took all his FFA exams, and to the surprise of the department heads became the youngest person to ever enter their program and complete it before he was 18 years old. We celebrated his 18th birthday on April 1, 2004 with his receiving his signed A & P license. That fall he took some general courses to round out a two year Associate of Science degree. Then he entered the army in March 2005 and has trained as an Apache Helicopter machanic with the 82nd Airborne. He earned his Paratrooper wings in 2005. It was a joy to welcome him home on leave from Iraq last year at this time and in October, he came back after a 15 month tour to Ft Bragg, NC. Spec Joshua Reed just celebrated his 22nd birthday on April 1. If you remember him, you can email him at jreed_amt@hotmail.com, or call him at 509-361-3175. He will be based at Ft Bragg until further deployment possibly to Iraq in 2009.
I call this a Glory Story as I see how the Lord has woven so many of our lives and events together for His Kingdom purposes. It has been nearly 8 years since that first visit to just find out about it. I did not know that our move to Washington state the next summer would be build upon that simple act of obedience. Selah.
In closing, beloved friends, let us celebrate and remember how we met and know that the Lord introduces us for a reason. The Kingdom of God is being built upon relationships and love. Let us love one another.
If I can be of service to you or pray with you, please let me know. Let us cherish and honor our friendships and encourage one another as we watch the Lord unfold His plans for us in the years ahead. Connected on purpose, for a purpose.
Your prayers and financial support are so needed and deeply appreciated. Please continue to stand with me. I will go where I’m invited and thank you for sending me off with your blessings of finances and intercession. All gifts are tax deductible.
To the Glory of HIS Grace,
Carla
