Subject: testimony
From: richard h baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> To my dear brothers of Christ and fellow laborers of the faith;
>
> Today, I want to give praise and glory to God for what he is doing in my
> life. For all of you are apart of my life. All of you have been praying
> for Kathie, I, and our family. All of you have received e-mail in the
> past. E-mail that has mention of heartache, pain, and victory.
>
> We serve an awesome God that never gives up on us. We serve a God that
> sees the most inner part of us. That even ourselves do not see. We
> serve a God that we can call Father. We serve a God, who loves us
> unconditional. He loves us so much that he has a plan for each of us. He
> sees the finish product. While we see failure.
>
> For past few months, the church we now attend. God has been giving the
> pastor messages to preach. Each of these has been hitting home to my
> heart. They are all meat and potatoes sermons.
>
> They are dealing with studying, praying, meditating, and listening to
> God. Just basic sermons, but much deeper. The last few have been on
> fighting the enemy of God. Meaning what is keeping me from drawing closer
> to God.
>
> This is also is dealing with stepping out of your comfort zone. Taking
> risk and just trusting in God.
>
> You see guys, I have been seeking God for direction about this home based
> business. I wanted to know if it is time to move. Like set up a tent on
> French and Indian War reenactment event to sell clothing. In return, God
> answered my prayer. He is still dealing with me about faith and trust.
>
> God has bought a couple of his feet into my life. A Christian bother who
> works in the same building as Kathie. Gary is a boss to several
> councilors. His team deals with people everyday. For the past months,
> Gary has been praying to be apart of some F&I event.
>
> We ran into each other at a wedding. I asked him if he wanted to come
> along. This guy is very organized. Out came his date book and he made a
> commitment to come along.
>
> Saturday, we went to Fort Niagara for the day. It was a 3 hour drive one
> way. God brought a person into my life. To help me deal with the scars
> of my past.
>
> At that event, I bought material to make Gary and I; our costumes. I
> paid for a sign. It is now in the process being made. The sign is a step
> of faith. It will have "Eagle Feather's 18th Century Clothing Shoppe" in
> black lettering on white back ground. Within that sign, it will have a
> Eagle feather painted with a red tip. The red represents the blood
> covering of Christ in my life. Hanging below this sign is "Custom
> Tailor".
>
> During this event, I past out several business cards. Many told me that
> they checked out my site. A Christian author was there from Virginia. I
> talked to him about my business. He saw the site. He said he knew about
> FCF and Royal Rangers.
>
> Brothers, I have been told by Christians. Who have visit my site. That
> they would rather support a person that is not afraid to promote Jesus
> out front. God placed a customer in my life. James is from Alabama. He
> and his family prays for me, my family, and my business everyday. He
> wants to support me, by buying my clothing. He also wants me to call him.
> He wants to know how we are doing.
>
> Back in Nov., a Christian police office from Pitt. surf onto my site. He
> and his fellow police officer was looking for someone to sew their
> Highlander regimentals. The reenactment unit lost their seamstress due
> to a car accident. He liked what he saw. He knew that God is in it.
>
> I made a promise to him, not realizing what I was getting into. I visit
> this guy back in May. He tried on a muslin pattern of the clothing I
> will be making for him. All that came out of his mouth was
> encouragement. He told me God gave me a talent. That God is not done
> with me.
>
> While I was down at Pitt.. I went to a reenactment for a day. God sold
> enough clothing to provide a car payment. And some left over for fabric.
> Two weeks later, I went to a FCF black powder class to sell. God
> provide enough to for one car payment and enough for fabric.
>
> Also at the reenactment event, I bought along the NY Distict Royal
> Ranger's British officer's dress regimental. God used that to get me the
> 77th Highlander business.
>
> Before I sold my costume at the black powder class. I took it to the
> 1650's French Mission Museum. I did not have to say nothing. My first
> project which almost done is a priest's black robe.
>
> YES, GOD IS WORKING ON MY FAITH. He wants me to move forward. I am now
> committed to Crown Point French and Indian event in Aug., along with an
> event near Pitt..
>
> A few weeks ago, God brought another foot into my life. I ended up
> talking to a Christian brother who owns GnG Dry Goods. He does American
> Civil War. His tents are much better than Panther and cost less. I ended
> up buy a wedge tent for the store. Much easier to set up. Cost only $155
> for a 7'x9'x9'.
>
> I ended up talking to Kenn a few times. He encouraged me about how God
> started his business. He encouraged me to get out and not worry.
>
> Lastly, through faith I am still learning to trust in God. Yes, the
> battles may come and go. But that will happen no matter what. As long
> as I have breath. There will be trials. God wants me to walk through the
> valley of suffering and not fear. BECAUSE HE IS WITH ME.
>
> When a Christian walks through this earth with eyes of Christ. You see
> people much different. Hate the sin, but not condemn the sinner. God is
> also dealing with a critical spirit in my life. He reminded me about how
> I was 20 odd years ago. How two different Christian men reached out to
> me. Both worked where I worked. They never met each other. Both 10
> year older in the faith and age. Different church and different color.
> But they had compassion of Christ to see past the faults in my life. I
> need to do that also.
>
> May God richly bless you all,
> rick/eagle feather
>
> p.s. There is no excuse now. I have made the commitment to go forward.
> God takes no pleasure in them that draw back.
>
> What Kenn mention to me. That the web site is all advertizing. But from
> time to time it should be updated(Jeff, may God bless you with time.
> time to do the changes I sent you). That I need to get out of my comfort
> zone. To get to a few reenactment event to sell and promote the business.
> And let God do the rest.
