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

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

Dearest Friends!!!
Blessings and Greetings from Liberty Lake!!! It is soooooo good to be back home again. I will never forget the day last year when I got home after a lengthy trip. I stopped by the local Safeway store to pick up a few groceries, and had been thanking the Lord for bringing me safely home again. You can imagine my wonder, astonishment, and amusement when I heard the store's sound system playing an old John Denver song..."Ain’t it good to be back home again? " I was pretty shocked. It was one of those eerie, but sacred moments when you know the Lord has read your mind and heard your prayer and followed you to the grocery store. Or rather, proceeded you there and had that particular song playing just as you walked in.
I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT….
That is a something I've heard many times as I drive across the country and keep up the pace of much younger folks than myself. It takes His special Grace and Anointing to travel like I do, but I want to share with you a practical aspect that can help you as well. I have been taking a product that has so revitalized my health that I felt I should let you know about it. I first put it to the test last summer when I was gone for 6 weeks, and now have given it the extreme test again being gone 12 weeks and 12,500 miles later. That just isn’t typical. If and when I have told people about it, they say what it has done for me sells it!! Many told me how good I looked for traveling like I do. (Wonder what that really means)
Before I do, let me tell you another story.
In 2005, everything changed. Joshua entered the military and both our lives were turned upside down in a few weeks. I moved out of my apartment in Moses Lake, WA where Josh and I had lived for 2 ½ years and put everything in storage. At the time, I thought it was for the summer or no longer than 5 months. However, the Lord extended my travels and after 17 months on the road, I finally got my things out of storage and relocated to Liberty Lake in Sept 2006.
During the summer of 2005, I had wonderful open doors to Moravian Falls, NC. In June - 2005, I met two businessmen who were interested in helping me write the water story. Neither of them were in a financial position to do what they had wanted, but I still knew that meeting them was Sovereign. One of them, Brett Rademacher, and his wife, Michelle, and family became close friends and we have spent many hours together. In fact, I spent this past Christmas with them as they had just moved from Moravian Falls to Las Vegas. They have an active household of 6 children, ages 14 to one month. And, Michelle is an amazing cook and a real saint, I do believe. Both of them are originally from Spokane, which is amazing as that is the area where I live now, but we met in North Carolina. Sometime the Lord takes you “there” to get you to “here”.
Brett was asked in September to become the Marketing Director for Uri International based in Cedar City, UT. They have since moved to Cedar City and the company is about to explode in growth. As a Spirit-filled Christian, He is leading the company into unprecedented gains and new territories, and it is the dream we talked about when all the chips were down and it looked impossible. I know several who can relate to that.
Brett is a unique guy. He began in Sea Silver ( a nutritional drink) several years ago and was a top distributor making over $300,000 monthly before the FDA came and shut the company down. He was personally fined a half-million dollars. His entire down-line crumbled and he went from being a millionaire to living in a cabin in Moravian Falls, trying to make ends meet for his growing family. The company owed him $1,000,000 when it went bankrupt and he probably won’t ever see it. Then the IRS decided to come after him and he was in more debt than he thought possible. Sounds like a bad dream. When you’re in a pit that deep, all you can do is ‘Look Up‘. Somehow the Lord takes note of our pits and is kind and able to bring us up and out!! What is impossible becomes His merciful way of deliverance as it is so beyond us to help ourselves.
What I like about Brett is his optimism in the midst of adversity and impossibilities. He determined to learn from the mistakes of a company’s careless non-compliance with FDA requirements and feels he has gained the insight and wisdom to lead Uri International into a global market. That has been his dream since we met and first talked about Kingdom resources. Brett is one of those guys who talks about millions like you and I talk about 100’s. He is just wired different and thinks HUGE. It’s been another stretch for me, but I like it.Brett has been a real brother to me. He really loved my Mysteries CD. He would spend hours listening to it with the Lord and get revelations and downloads from the Spirit. At one time, he told me he had never listened to a CD as often as he did mine. I’m pretty amazed at that. When I stayed in Moravian Falls, Brett and Michelle sponsored some worship nights at a local Christian coffee house and I would play and lead worship. He helped me record the ARISE CD right before I left the area in May 2006.
After the downfall of the former company, Brett began testing products and investigating markets and companies. He did not want to get stung again. Nor did he want to sell something that didn’t taste good. As he puts it, most green and health drinks are like licking a lawnmower. Can anyone relate to that?
A year ago, he discovered Uri International and the main product called The Feast. First he tested the products on his kids and they liked them. Then he tried it on other people’s kids. Same thing. If kids like a drink, it must be okay. The Feast is a unique combination of vegetables and fruits, which gives it a far better taste than a lawnmower.
He talked to Uri International, signed on, and began to implement some of the marketing strategies he had used earlier. Within a few months, he had so done well, the company noticed and called him in. With his background in software systems, finances, and marketing, they offered him the position of marketing director and gave him the opportunity to take a small scale company into global markets. The Lord has given him business strategies that will truly help turn over the wealth of the world into Kingdom revenues. When I returned to Spokane last fall, Brett and a co-worker, Frank, had just come to the area on a business trip and to see his mother. We all went out to eat and celebrate his promotion. Finally, moving up and out… Things do change.
I’ve watched Brett get Holy Ghost downloads of business systems and strategies. He has a fair complexion and is bald. At one time, I think he had red hair. To my chagrin, I’ve watched him get touched by the Lord, turn beet red until I thought he would explode. Sometimes he’d get the “jerks” and I’d wonder if I wanted to be seen around him. Ha. All that to say, the Lord has been preparing him to take on the leadership of a company that is offering optimum nutritional products for your money. We have been hearing much about market place anointing and money “coming” not just “going”.
FOOD!! The Feast is FOOD! Food, Food. 100% dehydrated foods at extremely low temperature to keep the nutrients. The Feast has 30 fruits, 30 vegetables, 11 seeds and sprouts, 22 probiotics, 83 enzymes and minerals and everything that can work synergistically to nourish you without preservatives or pasteurization. That is only one of several products in a lineup that will get you healthy and keep you healthy. Plus, the cost is so reasonable and could be part of your food budget... it is FOOD!
I began taking the Feast a year ago. In the summer, I cleared out most of my array of bottles of vitamins as I couldn’t seem to keep up with what, how much, how often. Studies are also showing the ineffectiveness of synthetic vitamins. You just can’t go wrong with organic whole FOOD like it was created to be.
Uri LeBaron and his family have been in natural health food and organic farming for 28 years.
“The URI drying facilities are located within a pristine mountain valley in Southern Utah surrounded by 4,700 acres of certified organic farmland where many of our whole food ingredients are grown.” (from Uri International website) (www.uriinternational.com)
The company is based in Cedar City, UT. For many years they grew all the greens used for AIM’s Barley Green, Juice Plus, and many others. They simply sold their greens until about 4 years ago when Uri decided to develop his own product line. Brett has spent many hours with this man sharing about the Lord and what they feel is a Divine Mandate to provide quality, organic, and affordable FOOD to a world market. Interestingly enough his name Uri, is a Hebrew name meaning light or flame.
To those of you who read on the current status of our food supply, additives, pesticides,genetic engineering and modification, you know it is a serious issue. People are eating more and getting less and less nourishment. It is inconceivable that people are actually being starved of needed nutrients while eating massive amounts of expensive food laced with additives.
The main product, The Feast , is the perfect answer either to supplement your diet, to take while fasting, or ‘on the go’ shakes. I love it that it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. Many times I have mixed up some of The Feast and what is called Beyond Berries in water, or juice and/or water. You should take it once a day or more, even have it at work. To regain my health and build up my immune system, I would mix up an 8 oz shaker cup at least twice and sometimes 3 times. Many times at the end of a busy day of travel and ministry, I would even take it at bedtime to rebuild while I was sleeping. I have also tried several other Uri products that are excellent. They have a lineup for everything needed for targeted needs and general nutrition. You will be impressed when you see all that is available and very affordable. Uri has trimmed the fat on costs and you will find it less expensive than health food products which aren’t nearly as nutritionally dense. You just have to look at the OREC values and the listings of all foods. When food is eaten, it works in the body as it was meant to, not isolated vitamins, hit and miss.
To those of you interested in a business, the company is poised to explode this year. For many months, Brett has worked tirelessly to create a marketing plan and system that is effective and innovative. They have just released what is called a “magalog”. It is over 20 pages of nutritional information in magazine form that documents the current food and health crisis and compares the nutrient rich FOOD that is in The Feast. You simply must check it out online or get a copy. I will have them available to send to you also.
The remarkable thing is that you can join the company and sign up for a ONE-TIME fee of $9.95. That will give you a Uri product catalog, informational CD about the product, your own website page for your orders and records, and ongoing membership discounts on products. You can go online at www.uriinternational.com to check out the site and listen to how the products are grown, dehydrated quickly at less than 100 degrees and packaged. You can also order The Feast as a Preferred Customer, but the costs are retail and somewhat higher. It makes more sense to me to sign up for $9.95 and get continual discounts. If you join, they will ask you for your social security number but I can guarantee if you like it and others sign up under you when you tell them about it, you will be building a down-line without effort and that will be reportable and residual income. If you are uncomfortable with giving your SS#, order what and when you want as a Preferred Customer. It is also wise to sign up for auto-ship as you won’t forget to order and keeps you consistent. You can go into your site at any time and change your order to fit your month’s needs or try something different.
I have been sharing about Uri and the Feast as I am able. I really want to see all of us healthy, wealthy, and wise. Just check it out. You can’t go wrong with FOOD, FOOD! There is no comparison to anything else out there for 100% dehydrated, organic, whole FOOD in powder form. There are many other good nutritional products on the market, but the Feast is the only one I know of that is FOOD, FOOD. Of course, as with anything, you must stick with it consistently to see full results.
I would also be happy to let you sample The Feast. I can send a packet and some information to you if you let me know. The products are also money backed guaranteed for 90 days as you order directly from the company. You can’t go wrong.
For those interested in storing up FOOD for future crisis, what could be better than this? All you need to do is mix it with water and drink it for instant optimum nutrition. It is pure, sealed and packaged, and easy to store, and better for you than rice and beans.
Whether you order or if you sign up, please be sure and enter my name or my member number # 24169. You will be helping me build a down-line that will help finance the ministry and pay off the indebtedness from past ministry trips. I’m also eager to pay off my piano and would love to buy my own home. It would bless me greatly to see all of you blessed as well. It truly is time to dream again and I don’t know of better people to work with. Honest.
Because I can tell you I personally know Brett as a brother and friend, I can recommend the company without reservation. His integrity, marketing genius, nutritional expertise, hard times and experiences will be the catalyst for a billion dollar global company. He has a website called: www.urilife.com. You can then type in my site name, UriSong and view several presentations. When you see Brett’s site or mine, you will realize the extensive training programs that are available. He is serious about making this a billion dollar company on a global scale and he can do it. Brett is a radical Sprit-filled believer and you will be blessed as he is blessed and blessing the company and the world through good FOOD. Now that’s a down line.
Thanks for reading along. If you’ve been “looking for something” to take for nutrition needs, or “looking for a home business”, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Had to let you know.
Blessing you with health, wealth, and wisdom!!

Neither of them were in a financial position to do what they had wanted, but I still knew that meeting them was Sovereign. One of them, Brett Rademacher, and his wife, Michelle, and family became close friends and we have spent many hours together. In fact, I spent this past Christmas with them as they had just moved from Moravian Falls to Las Vegas. They have an active household of 6 children, ages 14 to one month. And, Michelle is an amazing cook and a real saint, I do believe. Both of them are originally from Spokane, which is amazing as that is the area where I live now, but we met in North Carolina. Sometime the Lord takes you “there” to get you to “here”.
Brett was asked in September to become the Marketing Director for Uri International based in Cedar City, UT. They have since moved to Cedar City and the company is about to explode in growth. As a Spirit-filled Christian, He is leading the company into unprecedented gains and new territories, and it is the dream we talked about when all the chips were down and it looked impossible. I know several who can relate to that.
Brett is a unique guy. He began in Sea Silver ( a nutritional drink) several years ago and was a top distributor making over $300,000 monthly before the FDA came and shut the company down. He was personally fined a half-million dollars. His entire down-line crumbled and he went from being a millionaire to living in a cabin in Moravian Falls, trying to make ends meet for his growing family. The company owed him $1,000,000 when it went bankrupt and he probably won’t ever see it. Then the IRS decided to come after him and he was in more debt than he thought possible. Sounds like a bad dream. When you’re in a pit that deep, all you can do is ‘Look Up‘. Somehow the Lord takes note of our pits and is kind and able to bring us up and out!! What is impossible becomes His merciful way of deliverance as it is so beyond us to help ourselves.
What I like about Brett is his optimism in the midst of adversity and impossibilities. He determined to learn from the mistakes of a company’s careless non-compliance with FDA requirements and feels he has gained the insight and wisdom to lead Uri International into a global market. That has been his dream since we met and first talked about Kingdom resources. Brett is one of those guys who talks about millions like you and I talk about 100’s. He is just wired different and thinks HUGE. It’s been another stretch for me, but I like it.Brett has been a real brother to me. He really loved my Mysteries CD. He would spend hours listening to it with the Lord and get revelations and downloads from the Spirit. At one time, he told me he had never listened to a CD as often as he did mine. I’m pretty amazed at that. When I stayed in Moravian Falls, Brett and Michelle sponsored some worship nights at a local Christian coffee house and I would play and lead worship. He helped me record the ARISE CD right before I left the area in May 2006.
After the downfall of the former company, Brett began testing products and investigating markets and companies. He did not want to get stung again. Nor did he want to sell something that didn’t taste good. As he puts it, most green and health drinks are like licking a lawnmower. Can anyone relate to that?
A year ago, he discovered Uri International and the main product called The Feast. First he tested the products on his kids and they liked them. Then he tried it on other people’s kids. Same thing. If kids like a drink, it must be okay. The Feast is a unique combination of vegetables and fruits, which gives it a far better taste than a lawnmower.
He talked to Uri International, signed on, and began to implement some of the marketing strategies he had used earlier. Within a few months, he had so done well, the company noticed and called him in. With his background in software systems, finances, and marketing, they offered him the position of marketing director and gave him the opportunity to take a small scale company into global markets. The Lord has given him business strategies that will truly help turn over the wealth of the world into Kingdom revenues. When I returned to Spokane last fall, Brett and a co-worker, Frank, had just come to the area on a business trip and to see his mother. We all went out to eat and celebrate his promotion. Finally, moving up and out… Things do change.
I’ve watched Brett get Holy Ghost downloads of business systems and strategies. He has a fair complexion and is bald. At one time, I think he had red hair. To my chagrin, I’ve watched him get touched by the Lord, turn beet red until I thought he would explode. Sometimes he’d get the “jerks” and I’d wonder if I wanted to be seen around him. Ha. All that to say, the Lord has been preparing him to take on the leadership of a company that is offering optimum nutritional products for your money. We have been hearing much about market place anointing and money “coming” not just “going”.
FOOD!! The Feast is FOOD! Food, Food. 100% dehydrated foods at extremely low temperature to keep the nutrients. The Feast has 30 fruits, 30 vegetables, 11 seeds and sprouts, 22 probiotics, 83 enzymes and minerals and everything that can work synergistically to nourish you without preservatives or pasteurization. That is only one of several products in a lineup that will get you healthy and keep you healthy. Plus, the cost is so reasonable and could be part of your food budget... it is FOOD!
I began taking the Feast a year ago. In the summer, I cleared out most of my array of bottles of vitamins as I couldn’t seem to keep up with what, how much, how often. Studies are also showing the ineffectiveness of synthetic vitamins. You just can’t go wrong with organic whole FOOD like it was created to be.
Uri LeBaron and his family have been in natural health food and organic farming for 28 years.
“The URI drying facilities are located within a pristine mountain valley in Southern Utah surrounded by 4,700 acres of certified organic farmland where many of our whole food ingredients are grown.” (from Uri International website) (www.uriinternational.com)
The company is based in Cedar City, UT. For many years they grew all the greens used for AIM’s Barley Green, Juice Plus, and many others. They simply sold their greens until about 4 years ago when Uri decided to develop his own product line. Brett has spent many hours with this man sharing about the Lord and what they feel is a Divine Mandate to provide quality, organic, and affordable FOOD to a world market. Interestingly enough his name Uri, is a Hebrew name meaning light or flame.
To those of you who read on the current status of our food supply, additives, pesticides,genetic engineering and modification, you know it is a serious issue. People are eating more and getting less and less nourishment. It is inconceivable that people are actually being starved of needed nutrients while eating massive amounts of expensive food laced with additives.
The main product, The Feast , is the perfect answer either to supplement your diet, to take while fasting, or ‘on the go’ shakes. I love it that it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. Many times I have mixed up some of The Feast and what is called Beyond Berries in water, or juice and/or water. You should take it once a day or more, even have it at work. To regain my health and build up my immune system, I would mix up an 8 oz shaker cup at least twice and sometimes 3 times. Many times at the end of a busy day of travel and ministry, I would even take it at bedtime to rebuild while I was sleeping. I have also tried several other Uri products that are excellent. They have a lineup for everything needed for targeted needs and general nutrition. You will be impressed when you see all that is available and very affordable. Uri has trimmed the fat on costs and you will find it less expensive than health food products which aren’t nearly as nutritionally dense. You just have to look at the OREC values and the listings of all foods. When food is eaten, it works in the body as it was meant to, not isolated vitamins, hit and miss.
To those of you interested in a business, the company is poised to explode this year. For many months, Brett has worked tirelessly to create a marketing plan and system that is effective and innovative. They have just released what is called a “magalog”. It is over 20 pages of nutritional information in magazine form that documents the current food and health crisis and compares the nutrient rich FOOD that is in The Feast. You simply must check it out online or get a copy. I will have them available to send to you also.
The remarkable thing is that you can join the company and sign up for a ONE-TIME fee of $9.95. That will give you a Uri product catalog, informational CD about the product, your own website page for your orders and records, and ongoing membership discounts on products. You can go online at www.uriinternational.com to check out the site and listen to how the products are grown, dehydrated quickly at less than 100 degrees and packaged. You can also order The Feast as a Preferred Customer, but the costs are retail and somewhat higher. It makes more sense to me to sign up for $9.95 and get continual discounts. If you join, they will ask you for your social security number but I can guarantee if you like it and others sign up under you when you tell them about it, you will be building a down-line without effort and that will be reportable and residual income. If you are uncomfortable with giving your SS#, order what and when you want as a Preferred Customer. It is also wise to sign up for auto-ship as you won’t forget to order and keeps you consistent. You can go into your site at any time and change your order to fit your month’s needs or try something different.
I have been sharing about Uri and the Feast as I am able. I really want to see all of us healthy, wealthy, and wise. Just check it out. You can’t go wrong with FOOD, FOOD! There is no comparison to anything else out there for 100% dehydrated, organic, whole FOOD in powder form. There are many other good nutritional products on the market, but the Feast is the only one I know of that is FOOD, FOOD. Of course, as with anything, you must stick with it consistently to see full results.
I would also be happy to let you sample The Feast. I can send a packet and some information to you if you let me know. The products are also money backed guaranteed for 90 days as you order directly from the company. You can’t go wrong.
For those interested in storing up FOOD for future crisis, what could be better than this? All you need to do is mix it with water and drink it for instant optimum nutrition. It is pure, sealed and packaged, and easy to store, and better for you than rice and beans.
Whether you order or if you sign up, please be sure and enter my name or my member number # 24169. You will be helping me build a down-line that will help finance the ministry and pay off the indebtedness from past ministry trips. I’m also eager to pay off my piano and would love to buy my own home. It would bless me greatly to see all of you blessed as well. It truly is time to dream again and I don’t know of better people to work with. Honest.
Because I can tell you I personally know Brett as a brother and friend, I can recommend the company without reservation. His integrity, marketing genius, nutritional expertise, hard times and experiences will be the catalyst for a billion dollar global company. He has a website called: www.urilife.com. You can then type in my site name, UriSong and view several presentations. When you see Brett’s site or mine, you will realize the extensive training programs that are available. He is serious about making this a billion dollar company on a global scale and he can do it. Brett is a radical Sprit-filled believer and you will be blessed as he is blessed and blessing the company and the world through good FOOD. Now that’s a down line.
Thanks for reading along. If you’ve been “looking for something” to take for nutrition needs, or “looking for a home business”, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Had to let you know.
Blessing you with health, wealth, and wisdom!!
