Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
I GIVE UP. . .I QUIT. . .IT'S TOO MUCH. . .
Back in September when Jenna resigned as the office manager, I thought this would be a great opportunity. However, I quickly found it difficult to juggle research and other efforts I was involved in and have time left for my family. After less than a week I called several friends to say I didn’t think I would be able to handle working at the office in addition to my other endeavors. This weighed heavy on my mind for several days then one morning on my way to work as I turned on the radio I heard Charles Stanley say “You asked God to put you here and now your complaining; God did his part now you have to stand up and do yours.”
Yesterday I attended an event sponsored by Bear Witness; Agenda 21 Conference – Save the Republic. I learned more disturbing facts regarding the condition of our nation. How can I help with this effort too? What are we going to do?
I spent the night trying to digest all this new information and wondering how I could make an impact on yet another issue. This morning when I checked my email I had more than 65 emails to go through, ugh. After more than two hours I had finally finished going through the emails. However, had yet to begin looking into the information from yesterday. I was feeling overwhelmed and defeated.
It was time to put this on the shelf and take care of some family things, so I decided to head to the grocery store. Sitting in my car at the light, people everywhere, I felt so alone, defeated, and just felt like saying “I QUIT.” I don’t know what made me turn on the radio, but I did. Since I was using my husband’s car I did not know what station would come on, but as soon as I turned on the radio I heard “Don’t try to take care of everything, but pray for everything then ask God for what you need and listen, he will tell you what to do.” This statement was directed to me; I am trying to take care of things without knowing what the “big picture” is.
I finished the grocery shopping and got in the car to head back home. Thinking about what I heard just a short time before and realizing that with God everything is possible. Listening to the radio, I was at the top of the Buchman Bridge and heard this statement on the same station, “Coincidence is spelled GOD.”
The battle we are in for our nation and for those around the world depending on our success is in God’s hands and for that I am thankful. We cannot take care of everything, but we can pray for everything and seek God’s guidance.
There have been so many times recently when I feel there is no answer and no hope as we are up against so many obstacles, but each time I get to this point God reaches out and lets me know he is there. Thank you Father for your words of wisdom today, I feel much better.
All my love,
Debbie

Good evening Debbie
Your comments have opened the flood gates of patriots empathizing with you. The common thread of not giving up is heart-warming to read. A thought I 'd like to share that I reflect on regularly: "Through clouds and waves and storms............He gently clears the way." Our God is a great and caring God. He walks with us and knows our hearts. May we all continue to lean on Him as we work together and give this our all. We witness His presence with us by the amazing things that happen and the people who come to the FCTP at certain times with their gifts and their contributions. Know that you are not alone. He is working thru us and He has given us each other as we work together to honor Him and restore our great nation. God bless you.

Ephesians 6:11& 12 - "Put on the full armor of God so that you may take your stand against the devil's schemes, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

I just don't understand it.
Women are smarter then men [ I know and see God gave them a 6 th sense to protect their children and families.]
Them can multi-task better then men.
They can endure suffering better than men [Again a gift from God].
They are more logical and have more faith and hope than men.
They also have inspired and directed men to achieve ALL their wishes and goals, even in going to war for them.
How many women in Congress have a DUI,FELONEY OR A LEGAL CHARGE /ISSUE AS COMPARIED TO THE MEN ,WHO EVEN THOUGH HAVE BEEN CONVICTED ARE STILL SERVING ???
AND I BELIEVE A CONSERVATIVE RIGHT WING WOMEN PRESIDENT WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH WHATS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON and would put all the men and LIBERAL WOMEN in their place.
SO WHY ARE WOMEN SO AGAINST PALIN OR BACHMEN ???
WHY WON'T WOMEN STEP UP AND ORGANIZE TO SET THE DIRECTION AND THE AGENDA OF THE COUNTRY AND BACK A WOMEN FOR PRESIDENT AND IN CONGRESS !!!!!!
BACHMAN WAS TALKING FROM THE GUT AND HEART AND MEANT BUSINESS,NOT LIKE THE ESTABLISHMENT PUPPETS.
COULD being jealous and vain of another women be the weakness of our women having hatred towards another women ??
GOD GAVE WOMEN MANY MORE GIFTS THAN A MAN AND MORE COMMON SENSE.
COME ON WOMEN .UNITE YOUR POWER TOGETHER AND PUT GOOD WOMEN IN CONGRESS AND AS PRESIDENT .
REMEMBER.....BEHIND EVERY GOOD PRESIDENT WAS A GOOD WOMEN .THAT IS WHY HE WAS A GOOD PRESIDENT!!!!

Thanks for writing Debbie. Just want to let you know that it is indeed a tribute and reminder to all of us that we are only free through Jesus Christ our divine creator whom was first to define our inalienable rights. How can we not save our country without relying upon the one whom by His divine guidance created our nation? Although secularists deny that we are a theocracy, I thoroughly believe we are. My reasoning is because our Constitution was written on the assumption that there is divine guidance and that man is so fallible that that institutions are our government was designed with checks and balances to protect us from one entity from assuming the role of God’s mouthpiece. I enjoy Charles Stanley too!
God bless you Debbie!

Hey Debbie, Amen to Yvonne comments. The Town Criers are blessed to see the awaking of America. Providence has called and some have answered. I believe you're one who has been called. Those called will be given the strength necessary to preserve Liberty. You have no idea how much you are appreciated.

Beautiful Debbie. Thank you for sharing your soul with us. It is difficult to keep going and it is really difficult to keep going when we are attacked from within. I hope God will show us all how to win this battle and ultimately -- the war. This is a war of good and evil and I know you are on the right side. the Bible is filled with many stories of small people and small armies who went up against big people and big armies and WON! In my spirit, I know we will win. God did not wake all of us up to lose in the end. Trust in Him and everything that comes at you will be fought off by Him and his angels. God bless you and thank you for all you are doing for FCTP and for the country!

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." I understand how you feel and this quote from John Wesley encourages me but I also remember that even Jesus had to take time to "refresh" with His Father. It also reminds me that I am responsible for the actions, God is responsible for the results. I try and cast my cares upon Him and do things on His strength not mine or people and situations will suck the life out of me. "Not by power, nor by might, but by my Spirit sayeth the Lord." I will continue to pray for you.....oh and by the way, another ditty or two or three, to be effective, I must be selective, every "yes" is a "no" to something else, good is the enemy of best and I want God's best with my time so I am a good steward... Anyway, I love and respect you and thank God for you. Praying a fresh annointing, a God breathed breath of refreshing and renewing, and a determination to rest in Him. XOXOXO, my friend.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
