About Me:
I was born in NJ, lived in NYC for 35 years, married twice, divorced, no children. My ethnic background is Italian and I love to cook. I catered for 5 years and owned a deli on the upper East Side of NYC in 1996.

I took a leap of faith and moved to New Orleans in October 2006 to accept a position as Director of Transitional Housing at the New Orleans Mission. I was a former Design Director for 20 years in NYC, went back to college at 55 to get a degree in Office Technology so I could become proficient on the computer. I worked with Dare 2 Dream, a student run non profit club at TCI College, planned Christmas Events for children with termenal blood diseases, launched toy drives and food drives, successfully raised 5000 pounds of food for the Bowery Mission. As Katrina project Chairman, I launched a direct mail fundraiser targeted to their sister Gospel Missions and raised $23,000.00 to help repair their roof. God blessed me with a contact that helped send tons of women's clothing down to New Orleans to the tune of $274,000. Because of my successful fundraising, I was offered a job by the New Orleans Mission; however, once I was here I realized I was really called by the Lord to be His vessel helping to mentor homeless women. God gifted me with a wonderful talent to write resumes and develop cover letters for people. which has helped them get jobs and generated a supplemental income I needed to pay rent once I left the mission where I had free room and board. I'm currently writing a grant proposal to bring major funding into New Orleans. As Project Coordinator for the Nazareth Community Development Project, I give all the glory and recognition to God for planting this awesome vision into my soul. I need prayers and support to stay focused and clear as to what I must do to forward the project. The devil has come at me financially, emotionally, and tries to break up the relationship I'm in, but I have faith that God will protect me and guide me through the rough spots. I need all the prayers and support I can get to make this dream a reality and be able to bring a new Community health Care Center to New Orleans as well as affordable housing opportunities for Katrina victims.
Are you Saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ
I was born again on February 2, 2005

    Matthew 14:29-32...v.30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"



    A door opened and I was asked to speak several years ago at a High School in an auditorium of 1,400. Before leaving that morning, I started to pace the floors, arms a flapping (a works of the flesh moment :) ...Lord, who am I fooling that I can do this, Lord, what did I get myself into this time, why do I keep getting myself into these positions and on and on I went for a few minutes. When I finally grew tired and just dropped to my knees...the Lord whispered to me in the quietness...The answer to your problem is within your questions..."I". Your right Brown Eagle...you can't...but with and in Me you can. Keep your eyes on me. Heb. 12:2 Psm 141:8 Cor. 4:18


    Peter started to focus on the high waves. He started to sink because he took his eyes off of Christ. Taking our eyes off of Christ, we too are going to sink or backslide. During difficult situations we need to keep our eyes on Christ, rather then our inadequacies, circumstances, situations...whisper....and the "I"'s. In Christ, Brown Eagle

    I love the saying: "We need to put our problems into prospective: "Problem...here is my God!"

    Everyone either faces or is fighting some form of battle. Battles of fear, pain, lonliness, anger, temptation, hardships, difficulties, rejection...

    2 Ch. 20:15 b...This is what the Lord says to you; Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.

    We may not face an enemy Army, but everyday we face personal battles. When we pray and ask God to help us with these battles (struggles)...God "will" fight them for us. We need to realize our human limits...and that the battles are not ours, but Gods. "Let go...let God." We need to allow the Lords strength and power (Eph. 6:10) to work through our fears, weaknesses, and discouragements. During the most troubling times... claim the peace of Christ! (John 16:33b "so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Php 4:4-**7**)

    With the Lords strength, power, peace... we may face battles...but the Lord fights them for us. Whisper...we are more than conquerors...


    "THROUGH HIM!" (Romans 8:37)


    Eph. 6:10-19 1 John 4:4 Rom. 8:37 John 16:33 2 Cr. 20:15 **2 Cor 12:7-10** In Christ, Brown Eagle

    Natural Mountains turned into Spiritual Mole Hills


    Image and video hosting by TinyPic


    Natural roads are rough these days. Traveling is difficult and overwhelming at times. Direction grows blurry...getting side tracked makes getting lost much easier. Anothers map is ineligible in ones own personal walk. Depending on the season...roads may become dangerous...to others fatal. Mountain ahead...possible job loss, loved one walking out, worn out, illness, finances at zero... and a few find dead ends...miles still continue on.


    Open your map....Gods Word...for direction and guidance. (Isa. 48:17 Isa 58:11 Psm 139:9,10 Col. 3:2)

    Facing the earthly mountain.... Mount Job Loss. Spiritual map...Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Is that mountain starting to become a spiritual molehill yet... if not... press on...deeper. Phil 4:19 Psm 23:1 Luke 12:27-31 Matt. 17:20, 21 Ecc. 3:6

    We cannot control trials, sufferings or the mountains along our path... but our faith and walk must not be hindered by them. (Matt. 17:20, 21) In faith...tell those mountains to move. Whisper...If you are unable to do this, turn your eyes away from the mountain and look to Christ for a deeper faith. Whisper...More faith...until you are able to see natural mountains become spiritual molehills. In Christ, Brown Eagle

    PRAY THIS EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!! IT WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE. I started not to do this, but as I read it..... I understood God to say, 'You need a miracle tomorrow.... so here goes ... Prov. 29:25...
    You never know when God is going to bless you!! Good things happen when you least expect them to !!!!!!!!
    Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.
    And give the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace , love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
    I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it.
    God Bless!!!!!!!!!!! Just repeat this phrase and see how God moves!!
    God I love you and I need you!!
    Know that you are already blessed by the person who sent this to you !
