Greetings everyone,
I wish everyone a bless day in the land of the living. I pray that this letter reaches you in good health and strength. Continue to pray for the children as for some has returned back to school while others await for there return. Speak the promise in each and every one of there lives. We must plead the blood of Jesus over them all because the enemy is trying to destroy the children at an early age. We can put a stop to it all by praying for them each and every day. If there is any prayer request please let it be known if you do not want to reply to this email then you can make your prayer request be anonymous on my blog page of www.soundthealarmoutreach@blogspot.com . I will continue to pray for each and everyone of you in general and allow the Lord to guide me in a deeper prayer life for you all. God has come to set the captives free and who the son sets free is free indeed.
It's time to Pray people the enemy is busy but God is the almighty one over the enemy.
Make your day be what you want it to be and SMILE!! :-)
Atara

Make it Happen
Greetings everyone,
Have you ever felt a place of loneliness? Have you ever been at a crossroad of decisions? Have you ever felt like nothing ever made any sense when you talk to your friends but you know what you are talking about? Have you felt like no one understands where you are in life?
Well my friend that is a great place to be with God. No one can comfort you like God can. God gives hope to the hopeless. Nothing just happens it is a reason for everything, just like it is a season and a time for everything.
Take a stand today to be all that God has planned for your life to be. Even if you don't see it, step out on faith until it manifest right before your eyes. God is not a man that he should lie nor is he a man that he has to repent.
Don't let your dreams die. Don't allow isolation to overcome you to where it kills your inner dream from coming forth.
Start to reach out to others. Begin to give where you can. Learn to receive when others give to you. Build a network of friends, not just colleagues. And above all, root yourselves in a group that nourishes you spiritually.
Hebrews 10:25 says Nor forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
We all have something to complete. What would that be?
I can only be transparent as you all allow me to be to you from my own life experiences. I have nothing to lose but so much to gain in God's kingdom. I have my own dreams to fulfill and I won't rest until I see that all that God has for me manifest for me. I pray that you all take the stand today with me and make your dreams come true. It's not about telling everything that you desire to people because we do have dream killers out here but know with all your heart that God has made you the way you are for the accountability for Him and it will be a great blessing to others. Walk that mission and let your actions speak for itself.
I hope that I have touched someone on today.
God Bless,

Survivor's Story
By Deanne Lane
A St. Louis man is spending the next 22 years in prison for attempting to kill his former girlfriend. Courtney Everett told Atara Estes to plan for a big surprise. But never did she expect what would happen next.
Estes was hoping for a ring or a new apartment to share with Everett and their baby daughter. Instead, police said, Everett blindfolded Estes, drove her to a field, shot her and tossed her near-lifeless body into the trunk of his car.
Estes said she tried not to focus on the pool of blood quickly engulfing her and panicking was also not an option.
“Blood is just flowing. I can feel the tingling in my body, numbness, a different sensation to whereas something is really wrong, feeling lifeless,” explained Estes.
She spent the next few minutes trying to disable the car’s rear lights, anything to draw attention to the vehicle and Everett, “Then I heard this voice say just reach a little further, reach down a little further.”
Sure enough, as Everett stopped to buy gas, the trunk popped open. Bleeding severely and partially paralyzed, Estes was still able to get out of the trunk. Everett didn’t notice and kept going. Estes says it’s a miracle oncoming traffic didn’t kill her.
Estes says it was her little girl that helped save her life and that voice she heard while trapped in the trunk. Amazingly, Estes has forgiven her shooter and says she prays for him.
This took place in 2002:
This is still out of hand today. Please sound the alarm on domestic abuse. We are losing our loved ones by the numbers. And families are grieving over that family members due to domestic violence. I survived and only God knows why. I am here today to share with you that no one is exempt from this. I know that if it isn't you personally then you know someone who is going through this. Get them the help that they need if you can. Every situation is different but help families to live and not to perish from this deceptive behavior. It has taken a lot for me to finally make my voice be heard and now I have a charged to keep and a God to Glorify for he has saved me from the abuse and now every week I get counseling to help me to be opened about what has happened and not to blame myself and to beat myself up for not recognizing any signs. Like I said every situation is different. We don't deserve to be abused in any manner. There is more to come with this topic but I want to be wise with what to say when I say it because I know that this will and has already touch many people. I am not trying to get applauds for enduring through this but I want to save someone from going through another death or abuse like I have experienced. Be looking out for more from me as the Lord gives me what to say I will tell it and shame the devil to the fullest. There is a reason that he kept me ALIVE.
God bless ya'll,
Atara

SEASONS
Greetings everyone,
Season: Deuteronomy 28:11-13 (New International Version)
11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
To everything there is a season: Eccles. 3:1-8
This passage teaches that there's a time and place for everything. On the one hand it's a sobering reminder that nothing lasts forever; but it's also encouraging to know that difficult times will eventually but inevitably be followed by times of peace. God is in control of it all.
Are you in the middle of a “dark season” in your life? Do you trust God to keep watch over you until you’ve made it through?
Just hold on and know that God is in the midst of it all. No one likes the rain but we all will go through storms but know that the sun will shine again. Keep me in your prayers God is in the blessing business. He delivered me from domestic abuse and now he has delivered and healed me from cervical cancer. I know that if I made it through this then you can make it through whatever you are going through. You might be in your sun shine season, if so intercede for others and store up all your prayers because there will come a time in your life that you just dont know what to say and those prayers will make intercession for you. I am not telling you what I heard but I am telling you what I know.
Keep me and my family in your prayers and I will do the same for all my facebook family. Let's sound the alarm people and raise awareness on domestic abuse and also educate ourselves and help fight cancer of any kind.
Thanks and regards,
