A Life Dream Begins to Come to Pass

On Saturday, April 14th, at our District 01 Republican Convention in Tulsa, Amanda Teegarden graciously placed my  name in nomination for Republican National Delegate.  I am pleased to report that I received an alternate delegate slot and I will go to Tampa Florida in August.  I will be asking the state convention in May to upgrade my status to delegate and we will see if that can yet occur.  I would appreciate your continued prayers on the matter.

Thank you Amanda Teegarden for nominating me!

Because of the time allotted to all the candidates to speak and because of my wanting the speech to NOT be read,  here is what was ‘planned’ but I cannot tell you what was actually said.  If I get a video link, I will attach it later to this post for you:

I am Sandra Crosnoe. I am from Washington County. I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you today.

I appreciate you being here today to make decisions for our district and for our party. I know you sacrifice time from your family with every moment you spend on political matters. I appreciate that sacrifice.

I know because I have served with many of you on committees and on various projects. I have served as a Republican precinct chair for over 30 years, first in Texas and more recently since I came to Oklahoma in 2005.

You may be aware of my work online with blogs and communication networks, with social networking, with organizing rallies and teaparties, with speaking and mentoring and training in person and via Skype.

Through it all, I have encouraged people to get involved with their local Republican party, serve in volunteer roles, and talk to their representatives in order to really make a difference.

You did and you have and you are. You are here today. Some of you are serving in office and others are now running for office. We have more work to do together!

What draws us together as Republicans are our core principles and our shared values:

We are for limited constitutional government and for free markets and yes, a lot less government.

We support the second amendment — the right to keep and bear arms.

And yes we are prolife — because every life is precious and a gift from God!

I know that together we must hold our leaders and ourselves accountable to these principles. I know that we are a party that believes in the rule of law AND promotes grassroots activism. I believe that every voice is important. I will work to make sure that things are done according to the rules. I will insist on openness and fairness to make sure that everyone has a chance to participate. If you send me, I will go. I will continue my work to get our message of Life and Liberty out across the Land. This election is about more than the just the presidency. It is about promoting people of principle who will make a difference. Together we will Restore the Republic so that future generations may live free and prosper in this great Nation.

I pray God’s blessings on this District, this great state of Oklahoma and this Nation.

I would appreciate your vote for Republican National Delegate!

Yes Sandra Crosnoe wants to serve as a Republican National Delegate — Congressional District 01 votes on Saturday April 14th in Tulsa

Here’s an open letter to share with friends going to the Republican Party District 01 Convention in Tulsa this weekend.  I am asking for your vote and your prayers and your support in this effort.  Thank you for all you do for life and for liberty in our land!

Dear Republican Friends/Leadership,

Most of you know me from things we have worked on together or via websites/blogs/emails/ and our mutual efforts to get our country back on course. I would love to represent you and serve in the capacity of a delegate to the National GOP Convention this year. I believe my experience serves the party well in this role. Most know that I have worked tirelessly to move the ship of state in the ‘right’ direction. I place core principles and operating philosophy above party, because I believe that is what will best grow our party and solve the tremendous problems we face. While Christian values will always trump party politics, I think that is what makes our party the hope of the nation — because we do honor ethics and values in our party.  Sure we need to do better and we will as we challenge one another in the process and as we shine the light on matters.

We as a party must now come to a consensus and work together in the days ahead not only to defeat Obama, but to elect principled conservative, Republicans up and down the ladder.  You know me and that  I will continue to work to get out the truth and build our party around core principles.  On that you can rest assured.  In addition to that, I will continue to work to keep people involved in productive ways. There is much we all agree on and much left for us to debate as we work toward difficult economic solutions ahead and get our businesses set free from over-reaching regulations so that they can truly prosper and innovate and create jobs.  We need less government — a lot less government!

Through the years I have served on most committees and in most volunteer roles available in campaigns and relative to issues advocacy in the Republican Party both in Texas and now in Oklahoma.  In recent years, I have focused on communications networks and mentoring future leaders.  I appreciate the many people and the countless hours that go into making our party great.  You are a part of that process.  Thank you!  Together, we must hold our own people and our own party accountable to our platform and core principles even as we challenge our opponents on substantive matters.

It is important what we say and how we say it. The message and the actions must line up!  I helped with some of the original teaparty efforts and rallies and became widely known for social networking;  training and mentoring others all along the way.  I will work with you to continue to grow our party and I believe that in doing so we will all help to Restore the Republic in the process.  This will cause others to join us and actively engage as they see that we mean business and we mean what we say.

I ask for your support to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention to be held in Tampa later this year. I will do my best to represent you well and will work with with others to reach consensus on what is truly best for our party and our nation.  We will achieve our common goals together.  We must.  The very future of the nation depends upon us doing so.

Vote Sandra Crosnoe for National Delegate for Life and LIberty in our Land

with Republicans in office working to Restore the Republic!

My exhortation for how to live comes from Micah 6

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?                Micah 6:8 (King James Version)

Sometimes we think that things are overwhelming and life is too complex and the problems are too big.  I learned this verse growing up as a song.  Don’t you love the way scripture set to music embeds in our memory and pops up exactly when we need it!  God has much to say to us in scripture about just weights and measures and how to treat our fellow man and it boils down to rather simply this:

DO JUSTLY

LOVE MERCY

WALK HUMBLY

Think about the order of the items with the action item on top.  Do justly or as we would say today ‘act justly’.  But in doing justice, have a heart for mercy.  While demanding justice, be ready to extend mercy appropriately or with sacrificial love and hope!  In the midst of acting justly and extending mercy, above all walk humbly.

Our great example in all of this is Our Father in heaven.  If He could risk it all for us by sending His own Son to die in our place do we really have any excuse for not doing the same.  What if by modeling justice and mercy and humility to others, I could effect positive change in my family, my church, my community, my city, my nation, and my world?

Worth a try don’t you think!  Did I forget to mention that we are going to need His help to do so?  Tis true and He is able to help us if we will but look to Him in all matters.  He wouldn’t have told us to do it and sent us a Savior if it wasn’t what He wanted us to know and do now would He!

May you walk humbly, love mercy and do justice as you model His great example before others.  I think you will see Him smile and feel His presence as you do so!

Blessings,

Proclaim Liberty – Ring the Bell and thank David Hall and his family!

I salute you from afar David Hall! I especially thank God for placing the bell in your hands so that many could ring the bell and learn about what real freedom is indeed! Thank you for placing the bell between the Ten Commandments right where it should be.

To be free from the bondage of sin and death; what liberty is that?

Almost incomprehensible to our human minds, but our spirits soar with the knowledge of His rescue and Life in our midst. May you know Him and His resurrection power and His Life everlasting!

The Cost of War: The Texas Toll

Proclaim Liberty – Ring the Bell for more information and to contact David Hall

At the time of this post over 46,000 people have viewed this video. Countless more have actually seen and rung the bell as David Hall and his family have made an effort to honor our fallen heroes whenever he could be there with the Liberty Bell. Please thank him in person or online and help him in this important calling where your paths cross with his.

I mourn with David at the recent loss of his mother, Vivian Hall, a lady who knew and loved the Lord and her family well. Vivian raised them to walk in His footsteps and do great things and touch many in His service. I celebrate with David the blessing of her life and treasure moments with the entire Hall family through the years.

Blessings,
Sandie

Amazing Grace is more than a song . . .

From Anita Schneider via email and shared with permission because as she said – “Yes, it is to be shared!!!”

Thought I should share a portion a Bible study with you as it ministered to my heart greatly about my own “complaints”.

***I have been meditating on Numbers 11 again, and I just wanted to share with you how I’m constantly amazed at God’s unmerited and unearned grace in this Bible account.

One of the things that the Israelites did repeatedly when they were in the desert was to complain. For example, when God fed them with manna from heaven, some of them said, “We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!” (Numbers 11:5-6)

It was as if they had forgotten that God had delivered them from slavery and the whips of their harsh Egyptian taskmasters. Instead of appreciating the manna from God, they despised it and longed for the foods that they had eaten when they were slaves. Yet, one of the most touching things I found in this passage is that when they went to sleep, the manna fell – “when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it”. (Numbers 11:9) In other words, God kept on providing the manna despite their complaining!

You may have been complaining a lot lately. Perhaps it’s because you are going through a tough time. And because you know that your attitude toward God hasn’t been very good, you believe that God is ignoring you. My friend, I want you to know that like the manna, His mercy drops are still falling on you regardless of your attitude! (God’s blessings are based on Jesus’ finished work alone – this is indeed His amazing grace!)

Also, notice that the manna fell during the night. The night speaks of your darkest moments. In your darkest moments, YOU ARE NOT ALONE – God is right there caring for you, watching over you and working things out for good!

Whatever the trial that you’re going through, know that God is able to work all things out for good, an that His Father-heart desires to give you good things. (Romans 8:28, Matthew 7:11)

As God’s beloved, you have a different spirit today – you have the Spirit of Sonship, and you are an heir of God through Christ! (Galatians 4:4-7)

God wants you to look to Him, and cast all your worries and cares to Him, for He cares for you! (1 Peter 5:7) You Father is infinitely ineterested in your total well-being!***

Be Blessed and Know that we serve a LIVING GOD!
Your Sister in Christ,
Anita

[Editor's note: Anita and I met years ago and grew up in the Lord together. We've laughed and cried and prayed together through the years. She is faithful to call us to prayer and unite us in prayer often even now and from a distance. She is a prayer warrior for sure. But I must tell you that no one can sing Amazing Grace like she does with her voice and with her life. Blessings dear one and thank you for sharing this call with us and for letting me share it with everyone here. May God give it into the hands and hearts who need to hear it both now and evermore! Lots of love/Sandie]
