Yesterday Was A Beautiful And Sunny Fall Day Until I Received A Phone Call And It Then Changed BUT Today Is A New Day...

It was a gorgeous day yesterday where I reside. I was up early and I received another dream only thing is I do not recall the dream but I do remember it was a good, God dream. My son's prophetic prayer the other night is actively in "operating" mode for sure. I crated two more items for a card I will be composing. I created the Christian fish symbol and a cross also. This quilling stuff is a bit tedious but I am a perfectionist so I like this kind of work. I also vacuumed the floors and put up a few Harvest decorations outside. I do not believe in Halloween but I love Harvest. That is the time I like most, next to Spring. I guess it has to deal with the planting of crops and plants and flowers and then seeing them harvested. When I drive I pray that all the land I drive past is blessed and the farmers have incredible and fruitful not only planting of the crops but the harvest also. I guess that is why I am drawn to country type of drives.
I was on a mission yesterday and it was altered a bit so to speak. I was in The Dollar General Store in line waiting to exchange something and I heard my phone ring. I usually keep it on silence and for some reason it was not. I fumbled around in my purse and saw it was a call from my son. I really do not do this as a habit...I do not like to talk in stores when I shop. I think it is rude to a degree and I do not like hearing other people's conversations when they are on a phone while I shop. Do you ever notice that people do not filter their conversations when in public and talking on their phone's? Whatever happened to this nation? Private conversations now being shared with people surrounding you in public places, makes no sense to me at all. I graciously stepped out of line and went outside. Good thing I was wearing my really cute, fashionable prescription sunglasses to be able to hide the tears coming forth in my eyes. Even as I write this now my eyes fill with tears. I am miles away from my son and how can I comfort him? He tells me his cat has to be put asleep in about 30 minutes. I was shocked and saddened at the same time. I just prayed for his cat the other day when he asked me to for the vet visit on Saturday. I anointed this cat with the anointing oil that flows from the bible in Dalton, GA just a few short weeks ago when my children came to visit me for my 60th birthday. I  believe in creative miracles. You see, when he was given this cat over a year or so ago it had health concerns. Cancer in a paw in which it caused the vet to remove the entire leg. When I would see this cat my heart would go out to her because I kept thinking how she had to learn to walk on three legs but my son assured me that they really do not struggle with something like that they just adapt.
This is kind of funny. She wanted to go into my bedroom and I would shut the door. I told my children that was probably because that is where I pray. I found out Sunday morning that my daughter forgot to close the door and she snuck into my bedroom and they were looking for her and she was under my bed by the wall. Somehow she found a way to get into my prayer room. I praise God for that now when I look back. I think he asked me to pray for him and so I did right there outside of the store. I asked that angels go right then and also angels to take his cat to the arms of Jesus. She will be whole and healed in heaven and will run and jump. I also prayed that she will be there waiting for him in his mansion in heaven. I even tucked in a portion of prayer that she will have gifts for him waiting for him when he goes to heaven.
He was suppose to attend a family gathering last night for a birthday celebration. He said he called my niece to tell her to let them know he was not going to be able to attend. I spoke with him last week and he was looking forward to going. My Mom was a bit sad too because seeing him is like being home if that makes sense. She was around him growing up since a baby where we lived then. He asked me to call my sister and let her know what was happening and he would not be there last night. I called my mom and told her and then she told me that my sister and brother-in law and niece's dog was having to be put asleep this week. Sick with not getting better diagnosis and each time I would visit I prayed for this dog. He is a part of their family. It will not be the same when we gather for Thanksgiving, it just will not be the same. The last time I visited I had some of the same anointing oil and prayed for this dog and I even put a little on my hand and he licked it off of my hand. It is not a scented anointing oil or anything like that I was told it is a "living" anointing oil from God. Maybe my job was to anoint these two animals for the journey that awaited ahead of them.
I listened to "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" yesterday afternoon while in the car and not even that song could lift my heavy heart. When a loved one is aching it is a place that humbles you. You want to be there with them but I could not just pick up and drive there. The silver lining in all of this...it is now the next day and as I type this I am able to listen to the CD "Never Alone." and the sadness has lifted. I already started a project this morning before getting ready for marketplace ministry. I bought yesterday a wooden hoop designed with a bird on the front of it and I am creating a praise/worship item. I used to make a few of these years ago and it is now time to revive this as part of my praise/worship. As I was making it this thought dropped in my spirit...when you go to church this Wednesday night praise me with it because it will be praise going to heaven and both of those beloved pets will then be there by then and maybe they can then worship with me too. Well, update one will not be put asleep until the layer part of the week so I guess one will worship with me in heaven and the other the anointing will be sent to for their upcoming journey to heaven. The funny thing is that each time I would see these pets I would say to them "Where are the angels?" and each time they looked around for them. God is real, God is alive and yes pets do see in the angelic realm. They also see the not so good spirits too.
My day was altered and now it was time to find ways to bless people in my life. Found some Croatian favorite family cookies "Napolitanke," at all places I found them at Marshall's. I bought mocha and chocolate cream. Also found some coffee Keurig pods to send to my son and Maple flavored regular coffee I will share with my sister's family. I did the coffee test in the store I told you about in another blog writing. I gently knocked on the little area of the coffee bag and the flavor of maple was very inviting. If I did not already have Mackinac Island Fudge decaf mixed with Chocolate Mint caffeinated coffee already I would have brewed a pot of the maple coffee today. I will put together care packages for each one and send them off to them with a card and words of encouragement.
I then found an adorable outfit for my dear college friend's new granddaughter. I just love her name Sadie is that not adorable for a little girl? This is something I would have probably dressed my daughter in when she was little. We also have a standing thing about Cabbage Patch dolls and I found Sadie a Little Sprouts 4 pack but she will have to wait until she turns four to play with this. I just could not pass up blessing her with this. Now how can you send a gift for the new baby without forgetting the sibling? I will tuck in a little gift for the sibling also so they do not feel left out. So you see, when even though your heart may be heavy you can still choose to go out and find ways to bless others right? I know this blog entry seems to be all over the place it is because my heart is filled with so much. I share when it fills up so as to release it for more experiences with God to allow me to share again and again and again.
Well, Friday evening was the close of a chapter in my life and when I arrive at work on Monday a new chapter begins for me, how exciting that is for me. I learned one aspect of my job and I requested to learn the flip side of my job and that is now becoming reality. Praise God for He gets all the glory. This truly is a season of suddenly and my son shared with me that a good friend of his is going to go with him to the animal shelter to select a new cat/pet today. I did let him know to let Holy Spirit guide him in this so as to not get a wild cat and just the right one for him.

Isn't this dress, tights and coordinating beret adorable? Can you see the Cabbage patch toy too?

This is still a work in progress there is more to be added to this. Can you see my quilling cross and fish I placed on top of it to show you yesterday's work?

WhenYou Step Out In Faith To Bless There Just May Be A Prophetic Blessing Tucked Away Just For You.

This just happened last night. My son called me to tell me about a program on television he thought I may enjoy watching. Well, we ended up talking and he really wanted me to pray for his cat. I do not believe is praying at a later time I believe in praying right then and there. So I ask my son to place the phone by his cat and he does. First thing I do is ask his cat to look at the angels and my son tells me the cat looks upward. Praise God. Animals are sensitive to the presence of angels and the flip side of angels too. I then begin to pray and I let Holy Spirit flow through me as He always does when I pray. I am the open vessel to receive the words to speak forth through my heart and then I speak them forth. People have told me what beautiful prayers I pray and I respond it is not me it is Holy Spirit through me. Sometimes you just do not have a clue what someone it going through but Holy Spirit does and you then hit the mark on the target so to speak as you let His words of wisdom and knowledge pour forth through your voice. It is as though His words take flight in the spirit realm as you give voice to them through your voice and bringing them forth. Does that make sense to you?
Before he prayed for me we shared and I then told him about the prophetic word that came forth for our family and his and his sister's life. I tried sending the one of 4 video frames of the prophetic word that came forth and he told me it just sounds garbled if that makes sense. I have  to either figure out how to make it be clear in sound like mine is or I may just have to transcribe the prophetic word and then get that to my children. I have gone this route before because it is really good to get the prophetic word in written form and fashion so you have a copy of it to pray over. More importantly, you then have a copy to throw right into the face of satan and remind him that he is defeated and God wins and His word comes forth. He had concern for me when I told him how the power of God hit me so fast that they did not catch me and I hit the floor suddenly and my head hit the concrete. I shared how people kept coming up to me and telling me what an awesome word that came forth for my family. I also shared how I did not respond the next night when a word was coming forth again for me but I opted to not go forth with trepidation because I did not want to put myself in a position where the power of God came over me again and there would be no one to catch me, I told him I was still sore from the prior night's fall. I also shared how I went to the prophet the next day and let them know they did hear from God when they called forth that name I just did not want to fall again and not be catched. I also let him know since he knows who my spiritual mom is that I sought her advice in regard to this manner. I repented before God for not responding to the word being called forth and that He would redeem the blessing attached to the word that would have come forth.God is great, God is good, God is faithful and above all else God is love.
So then I shared with him my side effects I had to the vaccine I received and my broken blood vessel in my eye. I asked him to pray for me. Now his opportunity to pray for Mom. He starts off with saying something to the effect I don't pray like you do Mom and boom...the words begin to flow. Words of power and a prophetic word attached to this. There comes a time in your life that you pour into your children and then you step back and watch in amazement of God moving through your children in that instance or moment of time. Here is the young man that when I went to a Catholic shrine when he was a toddler I held him in my arms and in my own way not knowing the things of God I know now gave his life to the Lord. I may have been praying the rosary at that time in my life and thinking it was all Mary the mother of God that was moving in my life but it was God Himself moving in my life. You see back then I was so unaware of classes and videos and Christian programming that I can honestly say it was Holy Spirit teaching me what I learned back in those years. I still have my old Catholic bible and some great insights given to me by inspiration of Holy Spirit back then. The best teacher and the most honest teacher is Holy Spirit and do not stop there. Once He begins to teach you let Him continue throughout your life ok.
A relationship forms through Holy Spirit to get to know Jesus and that is the best relationship you could ever have. I often say to myself when I talk with Jesus that anyone in my current family circle and friends do I know of anyone that would lay down their life and die for me. Jesus did yes He did. I so look forward to the day when I can see Him in person. I have a thankful heart now and maybe that is why my love pours out of me and it is through worship and praise? Yes, I can say that with confidence that is how I can worship Him with all that I have because HE gave all that he had to give so I would not perish in hell for all eternity but I will be with Him for all eternity. PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.
Would you like to know my Jesus? Great it is simple how you can start to get to know Him. It is a gift freely given to us so no man or woman can boast and it is not a gift given by any works that you can perform. The only way I can describe this is it is a gift freely given are you willing to receive this gift? It is a beautiful gift and once you receive Him into your heart you will then begin to understand what I write about does that make sense? It is a simple yet profound prayer and I would love to share this prayer with you this very time that you are reading this blog entry if I may. Just repeat after me these words..."Father I am a sinner. I acknowledge the sins and sinful life that I am living. I want to repent of this life and my sins. I am tired of living this way and now I lay them and my life down at Your feet so as to receive new life when I join my life with Yours. I thank You that you chose to come to this earth as a baby and grow up and walk this earth showing the people of the power and demonstration of God flowing through You via Holy Spirit. Thank you for leaving the throne room of heaven to come down to this sin filled earth just for me. You shed your blood for me thank You for that and I ask You to come into my heart and reside there. Be the Lord and the love of my life. Teach me Your ways and how to walk with You. Yes, to walk with You not to ever have to walk alone another day. Thank You that I will fulfill all that You have for me to fulfill in my life and I look forward to the day when we will meet in heaven and I can see the beautiful splendors of Your love for me.." if you prayed this prayer you are now "born again" congratulations and welcome to the family of God. Holy Spirit I ask you to seal the very words upon the hearts of those that prayed this prayer and invited Jesus into their hearts.
Share this experience with someone and write down this date so you will have the day that you became a friend of Jesus. Did you know that your name was recorded in the Book of Life in heaven and all the angels rejoiced in the moment you spoke this prayer? Yes that is true and it is biblical to back up this truth. Get a bible and if I may suggest start reading a chapter a day starting with Matthew in the new Testament section of the bible. The stories in the bible are alive and real and they will come to life in your very life. I know because I was there and I am thrilled for you and for the life you will now begin to experience through the eyes of Jesus.
Have a blessed and glorious and beautiful day today. Amen.

Church Was Moving Tonight In Praise & Worship. You Will Never Guess 2 Songs That Ministered Unto The Lord. One Starts Like This "Somewhere Over The....."

Did you guess the one song. Let me give you a hint the missing word is
R
A
I
N
B
O
W

I love to worship and praise the Lord. Tonight was no exception. Of course, the rain stick and my little percussion shaker instruments were with me. I told the lady next to me the one song sounded familiar and I thought it was a song Kari Jobe and her husband recently did a debut of it. All I remember were the words that were repeated several times "over the earth over the earth over the earth." The lady said to me that they will put at the bottom of the screen who the artist is and sure enough Cody Carnes and another person wrote this song. So that was plus number one. Then we go into a more fun segment of worship a song about joy. I do not know the name of it but I really like it and I really do have more liberty and freedom when this song is a part of worship/praise. Then Pastor said everyone do something a little bit different then you normally do so we switched opposite sides  of the church from where we were seated when we came into church. Fine with me I do believe I now had an ever better seat then where I was seated.
I am telling you this, when I am in worship yes I am there with the congregation but I am also with Jesus too. I go into this realm with Holy Spirit and we create music is the only way I can describe this. So the praise and worship team start a new beat that I pick up on and it agrees with my spirit and I begin to use the small shaker instruments to the beat of the music being played. Then the most marvelous beat it almost reminded me or a reggae beat and then imagine this the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow to a reggae sort of beat it was awesome. I felt right at home, considering that is the song I tend to play in my car. You know the James W. Goll "Never Alone" CD in which this song is on it.
Do you think Holy Spirit is trying to tell me something? I do know so. Funny thing is I was not planning on going to church tonight. Until...Holy Spirit gave me the gentle nudge with gentle words go tonight and see something I want you to see. Well I believe it was to see that He cares for me and somehow Somewhere Over The Rainbow's musical beat began to play. When was the last time you heard that song sung in church? So do not close your heart and ears to Holy Spirit because He can and always does find a way to speak to you, if you only have the ears to listen and then acknowledge His love and concern for your very life, Church definitely moved tonight. I love moves of God like this. Do not put Holy Spirit in a box for He does not have liberty to flow when you try to confine Him. Let the earth be filled with the splendor and the glory of God. Let the light of Jesus that resides in you shine forth upon the people you interact with.

Went To The Eye Dr. My Eye Is Just Fine. Blood Red Color In Sections But Other Than That It Is Healthy. Yay To Jesus. Of Course A Song Too.

Well, with the encouragement of a co-worker I went to see the eye doctor the other day. It gives the appearance of looking much worse than what it actually is. I had the scan done on my eyes and everything is fine. A broken blood vessel is what is causing the red sections of my eye. Did you know there are eye doctors out there that are charging for you to have as part of your exam the scan instrument that takes, I like to refer to it as the 3-d image of your eyes? I know this to be true because I would opt for the last few years to pay $30.00 to have them scan my eyes is lieu of using the eye drops to dilate your pupils for the eye exam. Mind you, I would travel approximately 45 minutes to see this eye doctor and to pay the $30.00 fee. I have vision coverage that covers an eye exam but not the charged portion of the exam for the scan of my eyes. I would then go to a local eye doctors office for eyeglass frames and my prescription lenses. Until... the last time I was there and I was telling them of the poor quality of service I received at my last eye exam visit (this location has a new eye doctor and he did not even close the office door for the exam portion of my eye exam what is up with that? This is a new doctor and I did not like their attitude, I always received thorough eye exams from prior doctors that used to be there.) I had to remind this new doctor aren't you going to check the prism portion of my prescription the prior doctors always did? The only reason this new doctor did was because I almost insisted that it be checked and he then did it to appease me. Hello, a thorough eye exam is important do you not agree? They shared with me that they have a similar machine and it is part of their eye exams with no additional fee to use this as part of the exam.
I was told that some doctors use this as a tool to make extra money for their practice. It was this local eye doctor that squeezed me in for an appointment the other day and I am most grateful. I have been going to this location for approximately 4 years now. No longer will I make trips to the other location for eye exams when it is practically in my back yard so to speak. The customer service is outstanding here also. A tidbit of info I learned...if you should ever get a broken blood vessel in your eye do you know how the red portion that you see in your eye travels? It depends on the way you sleep. If you sleep on your right side it will tend to flow in that direction of your eye. Same if you sleep on your left side. Good thing I tend to sleep on my back so hopefully it is distributed more even so to speak. I was enormously relieved to know that my eyes are just fine. Now, I did get a little nervous heading to the eye doctor and your mind may start to wander what if...I heard the gentle Holy Spirit voice telling me it will be fine. Guess what it is fine. I am so happy to hear that I can still wear eye make up too since it is not an infection yay for small blessings like that. Do you count your blessings and acknowledge that God is faithful and do you thank Him also? I do. I also learned something else while at the eye doctor. I asked why my eyelid was a little tender each time I blinked my eye and that is because you need to look at this as a bruise and a bruise is tender until it heals. I do not have that tender feeling anymore as I am blinking right now as I write this.
So, lesson learned...ask your eye doctor if they charge to have this scan done on your eyes as part of your eye exam. If they tell you yes then confront them in a nice manner as to why they are charging you for this when there is another doctor out there that includes it at no charge as part of your eye exam. Wisdom can be a good thing do you agree?
The blessing does not stop here. I then went to a Christian bookstore in search of a book by Derek Prince and then found a treasure of books there. I purchased "God's Remedy for Rejection" by Derek Prince (I was actually seeking the book by him the story of God being the matchmaker in his life. I had that book and read it years ago and probably sold it at a garage sale or gave it away?) I then purchased two books by James W. Goll, he truly is a prolific writer.  My oh my how God uses this broken/pliable/teachable vessel to pour out His fresh oil and wisdom on God's people. Those that have an ear to hear that is and I speak life for those that will have an ear to hear also. I am almost finished reading, "Finding Hope Rediscovering Life After Tragedy" Wow, what a story truly pumping HOPE into the reader of this book. Thank you for being so candid with us and sharing your heart with us. Heart stories I find to be the best story to share with others. Heart stories connect with people and then they tend to lean towards a true heart story and glean from it also. The other book I purchased,  "What Love Looks Like" also by James W. Goll. Did you figure this out yet about me, I am an avid reader.
Let me see if I can locate the song that touched my heart yesterday ok.

What A Challenging Week I Had, It All Started With The Concept Of Quilling. Are You Familiar With Quilling? Let Me Explain About The Weeks Experience.-

I lived a week filled with challenges last week. Let me explain...It all started last Sunday. I noticed a Christmas card that was designed with quilling technique and I looked at the price of the card and said to someone I could make that I want to learn quilling. Keep that in mind because quilling doesn't come into play until later that week.
On Monday I received the 2nd dose of the shingles vaccine and the worst I expected to happen was a sore arm where the shot was administered. The arm really was not sore, not like the last time I received the shot. I forgot to read the full list of side effects though. I ended up getting chills and a fever of 100 degrees. That came into play the next day on Tuesday. The fever broke and I believe I was ok that night when I went to bed for the evening. Wednesday comes along and I hear a word that did not agree with my spirit. I labor over this word for it is troubling to me. I feel Holy Spirit telling me to cry out about what is on my heart and share it in the spirit realm if that makes sense. I begin to cry like a deep cry and ask if anyone is going to go and reel them is so to speak as an accountability concern. In my spirit I hear that they have already been sat down before in regard to this word. The next thing I am sharing about how I wanted to quit writing and run. You see, when I am close to a break through or a move of God in my life my old pattern is to run. I do not mean putting on a pair of running shoes and running around the neighborhood. My version of running is that it gets to be a bit too much and I want to revert to wanting to go back home where it was safe for me. I had the large body of water that I could go sit by and write and talk to Holy Spirit there. I also had the freedom of seeing eagles soaring in the sky. To me that is safe. I tend to whine a bit at Holy Spirit when things have been promised to me almost 22 years ago and I see them not in the natural but very much so in the spiritual realm that is. When I seek Holy Spirit I hear the word "TRUST." I then asked forgiveness of my whining and said I will continue to trust. Something spectacular happened to me that night after this experience...I felt incredible peace come over me and I felt heat coming forth from the souls of my feet and I slept wonderful that night.
Onto Thursday, while at work I am looking at my computer screen and I see an orange dot then the next thing I know it seemed to be coming from my right eye I started to see a series of zig zag shapes moving. They were black, blue and a silver color. Even when I shut my eyes I was able to see them moving. They were small in size at first then they grew in size and then seized. There was not pain associated with it. My co-worker said to take a break from looking at the computer screens and I did. I even asked this co-worker do you think it was a side effect from the vaccine. They said probably not. Friday and part of Saturday all of a sudden my car locks started acting up and like I would be driving and the caution lights would go on once or twice and that was it. I then switched ignition fabs and maybe that was the problem. It was fine today until...I was working on quilling this morning and did ironing also before church. While I was quilling I thought I felt something fall in my eye but I thought to myself that is impossible that did not happen. So I am getting ready for church today and when I look in the mirror I see this big red blob in my eye. I am thinking now Oh My but I know to still go to church and worship God. I went to church with semi-make up on just not eye make up. As I am in church I feel the nudge of Holy Spirit to go to the altar and worship with my percussion instruments this time. I hesitated at first then He kept showing me the very spot to stand and I did. When I am in worship I just really commune with Jesus. It is as if the instruments in my hands are just there being played via an open vessel. At times I hear how to strike the rain stick music coming forth along with the little percussion shaker instruments I have. I can hear what it is suppose to do. At times I am with the beat of the music playing. At other times I will sense just a shake at a certain time or a certain way to bring forth the music from them also. Today, this was the second time I was shown how to do this. It is as though I raise the rain stick up in the air and with my hand I hold it up and move it in a circular motion. Did I tell you I am a worshiper? I am.That is who I am and that is a part of me. A gift freely given to me and I freely give the gift back to the Lord when I worship Him.
I use to work for Estee Lauder and I know how to apply make up and things like that. I was trained by the best, I truly was. So for me to go to church without full makeup presentation is a lesson in humility. Holy Spirit reminds me that I go to worship Him not man or man's approval.
One day during this past week a song I played in repeat mode in the car was by Rita Springer that ministered to me in a mighty big way.
All's well ends well. I now have a brisket of beef in the oven and I will make mashed potatoes. I thought for a brief moment just boil the potatoes for the mashed potatoes and then I thought no, I have an electric pressure cooker and that truly is the only way to make mashed potatoes. You do not boil out the potato flavor and you actually taste the flavor of the potatoes when you use the electric pressure cooker. I like to add garlic or chunky garlic paste while they are cooking to infuse that flavor in them.
So if you should receive a card from me and you see a quilling design incorporated in the card you will know I made the design.
Back to last Sunday. When the idea was initiated about quilling Holy Spirit knew I would need it the later part of the week. I have found that instead of running when I get the urge to run back to what is comfortable for me I then usually take on some sort of creative project and that fills the void for me. Thank you Holy Spirit for loving me like you do and looking out for me too. What I am disappointed about today is that I was going to try to go to a church service this afternoon where Holy Spirit is flowing and I just did not want to go with this red blob thing in my eye. I believe it is a broken blood vessel is what I have been told. Hey I was not at a total loss though, I viewed the service live streaming so God did take care of me He ALWAYS does. Oh, did I tell you this? It feels really good to be back writing again and thank you for your prayers for they really did work with me not having a sore arm from the vaccine shot.
Quilling pictures. Now do not be critical I only started doing this the other day ok.

Look at the three flowers on top they are resting on a rainbow I made behind them. The pink flower is suppose to be a tulip but I wanted to see what it would look like if I added two green marquis designs on the bottom.

I thought it was titled, If You Say Go" by Rita Springer

Only One Song To Share From Today, But I Have A Song From Yesterday While Watching A Live Streaming Church Service.

Only one song from today. I am also going to share with you a song that touched my heart while watching live stream of a church service yesterday. It was anointed live worship and I got my rain stick and played that during this song and the presence of God filled the room right at home. That worship brought tears to me. Worship and Praise the Lord, there is no greater joy in my life then giving thanks and praise to my savior Jesus Christ. Even today I received a second shot for shingles vaccine. I usually do not do stuff like that but Holy Spirit spoke to me to get it so I did. I am most thankful that both shots were covered completely by my insurance. The only thing is my arm tends to get sore after the shot is given to me. I know enough to pray over the vaccine well before it goes into my body. Anything like that needs to be prayed over to give no side effects and will only be used for my good and no harm to come from it. I even had some anointing oil with me from the man that their bible is producing anointing oil. I anointed my head, heart and the arm I would receive the shot in. God is faithful, He really is. These are not just words I wrote down these are words from experience. I am sure that there is at least one thing you can thank God for today right. Hey, if you are reading this then you are alive and that in itself is reason to thank God.

You Are Good // Kari Jobe // Wake Up The World

From yesterdays worship Kim Walker-Smith - I Exalt Thee

Even with a slightly sore arm I still lift my hands in praise right now and worship again with my rain stick. Maybe rain stick worship is for me in this season of my life. Is anyone else out there worshiping the Lord using a rain stick percussion instrument?

I Was Given A Key To Unlock A Gift Inside Of Me By Holy Spirit.

I can only describe this as a gift given to me. It is as tough I pick up a percussion instrument and Holy spirit plays it through me. Recently I purchased a rain stick percussion instrument. I had one years ago but I blessed a Nazarene church with it for their praise team. So, Holy Spirit keeps speaking to my heart LET IT RAIN LET IT RAIN. No sooner than hearing those words the image /thought of a rain stick comes to me. I sought one out and purchased it. I take it with me to church and as Holy Spirit instructs me I play that instrument. At times it is the sound of a gentle water sound that comes forth. Other times it is a rushing sound of water that comes forth with power in the sound. I can only explain it like this...I am in worship and praise also with Holy Spirit it is as though I am here at church but I am with Him if that makes sense.
Twice now men have mentioned to me that there is an anointing when I pick up and play the rain stick. I get it, when women tell you that you think yes they are in tune with Holy Spirit. For men to share this with me that is a different subject. I guess I have to open my eyes to see that men are definitely in tune with Holy Spirit. We do not give men enough credit in this realm as we should. I was at a church gathering and I was a little worried that they would not allow me to bring in to this event at the door check my rain stick. I kept thinking they may not see it as a instrument. My friend I then asked if they could bring it in for me. She did and the person thought for a moment about it that was checking your belongings at the entrance and let us go in with it. Yay to Jesus. The person knew about rain sticks and commented that if it was a rock concert that they would not have allowed it in to the event. He also said for us to not hit someone on the head with it at that event. while using it.  I played that instrument during praise and worship. There was a young man that sat in front of me and we struck up a conversation. I noticed he was a worshiper. When you are a worshiper you just connect with other worshipers. I wrote down what he said to me, "it is a tangible anointing." In reference to me playing the rain stick. So after preaching we go back into praise and at that moment I tap him on the shoulder and ask him if he would like to use the rain stick. At first he hesitated then he took the rain stick and used it. See, what is freely given to you, you should then freely share with others. I never force things like this upon people. Holy Spirit gives the nudge and I respond. I also know that if the person rejects the offer I do not get upset about it I just move on.
Men I highly encourage you to follow Holy Spirit and yes, you do hear from Him. Such a blessing to the church, such a blessing to the church. Oh one more thing, when people comment on me playing the rain stick I point it all back to Jesus it is Him not me. Amen. A final thought I shared with my friend that God was going to really bless her for taking on the challenge of getting the rain stick into this event for me. She brought it in for me and I was able to minister with that very instrument.

I Humbly Ask Your Forvieness. Never Be Too Proud To Ask In Meekness And Sincerity Forgiveness And Admit You Were Wrong. There Was Not A Diamond I Was Given By God On That Choker Necklace, Let Me Explain My Recent Discovery If I May. First Of All Sincere SORRY From Me To You All.

I shared with you how I thought I received a diamond from heaven on a choker necklace I have. I believed it was a gift from God manifested in my life. I tested it on a piece of glass and it scratched it. There was a longing still inside of me to make sure that it was a diamond, that is just how I am. When I really want to know something I keep inquiring of God about it. A few days ago I was saying to the Lord "If I could just see a same choker I would be able to either confirm or not confirm". It was that soft yet gentle nudge to go back to the store in which I first purchased it to see if there was another one there. There was and I purchased a second one to keep as a testimony to me of how God answer's my silent questions I propose to Him. I will show you a picture of that one.

I will try to review the blogs in which I wrote about the diamond and edit them because I believe in correcting something when I am wrong. Back to my experience in the store. First of all it was amazing that the same choker necklace was even in that store let alone I could inspect it right then and there on the spot so to speak. On the back of the package the section I needed to see was covered with a piece of tape. My heart beat a little faster in anticipation to what I would discover once I lifted the piece of tape. Was a crystal stone there or not. That would be the deciding factor if what I had was genuine or not. I removed the tape to find that there was a stone there just like the one I already had. My heart sunk a bit in the moment and I said to myself "I must apologize to the world about this." That is what I am doing right now.

Now I do not want you to feel sorry for me though, there is a greater story within this story let me explain. Month's ago I saw a ring that had champagne, white and blue pave diamonds in it and it caught my eye's attention. Now when you see this ring you will see a blue diamond section of a bird with it's wings giving the appearance that it is in flight. That is what caught my attention but I do not see a bird in the natural, I see it as a symbol of Holy Spirit. I bought this ring months ago as a gift to me prior to my upcoming 60th birthday back then. I wear it the majority of the time with the Holy Spirit facing me (facing my heart so to speak.) On occasion He directs me to wear it facing outward and I comply when He does. Sometimes when I am sitting in church the diamonds just capture the light in the right way and they just glisten or I catch a single glisten of one of the diamonds and I am in awe and amazement of how this ring truly does bless me. This was not an expensive ring (meaning thousands of dollars I think it was under 200.00 because I waited for this ring to go on sale if I remember correctly.) It is not the value or worth of the ring that is important to me it is the symbol of what it represents to me. Holy Spirit is with me and He moves, He is not stagnant right. It reminds me to flow with Him and be on the move when He moves. We all should attain this in our lives.

Do you love a good story? There is more to this story if I may share it with you ok. 

When I was searching for the dream interpretation days ago in which I still never found it I might add. I came across a book a read before and I opened it up, by Derek Prince, "Blessings or Curse You Can Choose." I also had an August birthstone ring and I read on page 71 "The branch of the occult operating through physical objects," etc...listed in this category was the word "birthstone." Now, I did not have this ring a long time I just recently purchased this in the last few months so do not think I have kept this ring around for a long time.

I knew what I had to do, I had to throw it away until...Holy Spirit reminded me of a friend of mine that once commented how they liked this ring. Now, I am not going to give a curse to someone when I am trying to dispose of this in my life. So I asked them if their birthday is in August, it was not so now I can bless them with this. I did last night, yes I did. See, it is amazing when Holy Spirit brings to remembrance a prior experience to confirm what you should do. Many years ago when Holy Spirit started to speak to my heart about getting rid of objects in my home that should not be there I had at the time a scarab bracelet that I bought at a jewelry store. Well, this was an object I was to get rid of and I was just going to throw it in the garbage and be done with that until...Holy Spirit spoke to me that if another person found this bracelet why would I want them to be under a curse? So with His wise direction I literally took that bracelet apart before I threw it away. I remember saying to Holy Spirit but I paid and I told Him the amount and you want me to throw it away? I did in obedience.

So, I thought I received a diamond from heaven on the choker necklace I guess I have faith to believe that God does things like that but I already had a diamond treasure in the ring that I wear. Do you want to know what the true treasure for me in my heart is? It is Jesus and I love that I invited Him into my heart to be my Lord and Savior forever. Since that moment in time when I chose to do this my life has been a good and an exciting life with Him living inside of Me. How I love the hidden treasure that was revealed to me of Holy Spirit and praying in tongues. I had to drive back from an event I attended with friends last night. I forgot how dark these country roads are in the night because I have not travelled them in the dark for a while now. I returned safely home with Holy Spirit guidance and protection.

Do you want to know Jesus and have Him reside in your heart? It is a simple prayer that you pray and it is not of any works that you can do to attain this. It is a gift freely given just for you from Jesus. If your heart is right and you feel this is the time in your life then let me share my Jesus with you so He can then become your Jesus too. You know we are not promised tomorrow so make sure you are right before God today ok. "Jesus I am a sinner, please forgive me of my sins and wash me clean with your precious blood. You died on the cross and shed your beautiful blood so I may be with you for all eternity. Living in heaven and not hell for eternity. Come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. I will trust you and obey you and welcome a deep friendship with you all the days of my life. Thank you for coming into my heart this very day. Amen" Holy Spirit seal the words upon the hearts of those that received Jesus. You may say to yourself because of not knowing this how can He be alive? That is a simple answer to share with you. When he died and they buried him in a tomb three days later He rose from the dead. He is no longer buried in that tomb He is risen and in heaven interceding for you at the right hand of His Father. One more thing, I highly recommend getting a bible and start reading a chapter a day starting in The New Testament section of the bible and I will guarantee you that you will get to know Jesus via this act.

My Favorite Hymn Is Blessed Assurance. Also, A Second New Hymn I Recently Heard About, Down To The River To Pray.

I saw this question today in which the question was asked, "What is one of your favorite hymn's?" I would have to say I have two favorite's, with one of them being one I only recently heard of. Let me see if I can get the hymn's for you to listen to. Before I do that I must share this with you. I moved here from out of state to the state I reside in now. I knew no one and have no family here at all. My aunt told me once that I have my grandfather's sense of adventure. He emigrated here by himself when he was 19 years old and arrived at Ellis Island with $25.00. At one point my grandfather traveled and my uncle share's the story that my grandfather told him. He had a new Dodge four-door touring sedan and he left his railroad job in Great Lakes region and drove to California alone in 1923. The route taken was the new Lincoln Highway which was only 10% paved with the rest being gravel or dirt. He worked in CA and my uncle tells us that Grandpa met and befriended the silent film star Rudolph Valentino. My grandfather eventually moves back to The Great Lakes region and does not get married until 33 years old.
Back to my story of my adventure. Where God guides He truly does provide. I interviewed for the position I moved here for in another state 4 years prior. I did not interview at the location I was hired for. The first time I walked into that building was my first day of employment. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has continually been faithful to take care of me. I am not a teenager I was in my mid 50's when I took on this adventure.
I met some wonderful friends while working for this organization. Two of them, when we all started at the same time. My third friend I met when I went from one department to another department and we met in training. See how God works...you say yes to His lead and gentle nudge and He opens the doors for you. Do not be afraid of following His lead I would be more afraid of continually ignoring His gentle leads/nudges to be honest with you. These friends have brought much joy in my life. I tend to be a serious person by nature and they show me/bring fun in my life. Please know that Holy Spirit brought Christian friends into my life to fellowship with. We usually gather for dinner or lunch/brunch and we sure do visit a long time at the restaurant we go to. Going to be going on a new adventure to an observatory but dinner prior to that. When I knew no one when I first moved here I would venture out and explore the area. I stumbled on an Amish country tour and we are suppose to go on this tour in the near future. I went on this tour and I enjoyed it back then and how much more fun sharing the tour with friends now.
Point being if I would have never stepped out in faith and moved to a new state with no family, friends or familiar  people I knew I would not have met my new friends. I challenge you this day to step out in faith when Holy Spirit nudges you and watch how He is faithful. Please do know this, I used wisdom on this journey. I sought the Lord before I made this move and accepted the job. Use wisdom ok.

This Is Not Date Notated. I Can Guarantee You This Was Not Written In The Last 4-5 Years. I Found This In Storage Amongst Books And A Few Other Writings I Stored In A Storage Container. Holy Spirit Nudged Me To Publish It Today. Before Publishing I Received A SecondConfirmation. Please Look Beyond Citizenship In General Or You Will Miss The True Message.

So sorry this is not dated. I wrote this years ago and tucked it in a storage container with books and a few of my writings from 2007. I know citizenship is a hot topic where I live currently but this was written before it became such a topic of contention. Look beyond the words about becoming a legal citizen in The USA and there is a deeper message for you to receive ok. I read this a few times in the last few days and dismissed even publishing it until...Holy Spirit nudged me today and then I read something during the day and that was the second confirmation I was looking for to give me the green light so to speak to move forward.. Know that my heart is to bless people and not tear them down. Holy Spirit be with those that read this and comfort their hearts and enlighten them also. You cannot even tell that this was printed with blue ink. This is the best image I could get for you.

Today Around 1PM My Time I Began Feeling Heat In Both Souls Of My Feet. It Lasted About 30 Minutes. As I Type It Is Happening Now.

A normal day at work today. Listening to CBN praise music while working. There are a few song to share with you today. This heat sensation began around 1PM my time and it lasted about 30 minutes. I felt this warmth, heat in my feet. To be more exact the souls of my feet that is. As I was experiencing it, it almost reminded me of when I was really cold at the hospital with the delivery of my first born child. It was cold and I was cold but the moment the epidural was administered to me it felt like a warm blanket that covered me. Yep, that is how I would explain it today. Can that be the anointing? It subsided then a brief wave of it came again. Holy Spirit is real and tangible.

Rend Collective - Joy Of The Lord (Live At The Orchard)

My day started off early with a warning dream. I then went to Ezekiel chapter 3. Watchman chapter. Being a watchman on the wall is a very serious commission. If  Holy Spirit shows you to warn and you do not and that person falls it is now on your shoulders and you are held accountable for that person. Now, if you do heed the warning to the person and they then choose to not act upon it then you are not held accountable for that person. Take this very seriously, this is nothing to be toyed with. Something happened yesterday and I do believe that is what brought on the dream of warning. I then asked Holy Spirit for His timing to discuss this with someone. He is faithful and I shared and directed this person to Ezekiel chapter 3 along with anointing oil that was given to them weeks ago. This was an awful dream showing what the enemy did to disform a beautiful girl's face. It was as though the face was branded by some sort of instrument. All because the person in this dream called out the wrong of the enemy and stood up to them. I thought it was a dream from the enemy at first but in reality it was a warning dream. I had the choice to not speak and warn what I was to say and I chose to follow Holy Spirit. You know sometimes it is not easy to step out in this arena but always remember this...Holy Spirit guides He provides. He provides the wisdom, words and the exact timing also.
After this experience from the dream I then got into spiritual warfare mode and went after this spirit. I bound up all of the spirits together cut off their communication told them they will not speak, smell, taste, hear ,see, feel and write. After that I then send them back upon the spirit that sent them forth and I then do the same with that spirit and encircle them with the blood of Jesus and cast them to the dry, desolate, uninhabited places never to return. Well, today it was satan that sent them forth and I then reminded him of his final demise the lake of fire. When I get stirred up in spiritual warfare I am not this sweet demure woman, I go forth in the anointing that is given to me in this realm/area. Before I tackled all of that I then spoke forth a few prayers out loud from the book, "Accessing The Courts Of  Heaven" by Robert Henderson. Do not take this junk from the enemy you have a place of authority and do not back down. When I am in warfare mode there are times that I speak the name of Jesus and each time I tell the spirit (s) they have to bow at the name of Jesus. I then repeat His name a few times and they have to bow at His name. Do not be timid for the enemy is not timid and tries to taunt you. Years ago Holy Spirit showed me in a brief flash scene He showed me a tiny garden pea and you step on it with your foot. Not much effort to crush that pea right. Well, that is the authority you have over the enemy. Use the word of God, the blood of Jesus and there is power in your testimony.
Where did that all come from? Holy Spirit wants someone to know their authority in Christ Jesus.
Most important, I had to go to work after doing that spiritual warfare. The music I listened to driving into work that soothed my soul and brought me back into a place where I could focus again was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by James W. Goll. This music truly soothes my heart. Have a listen and you will know what I mean ok.

Songs From Today

Songs that touched my heart today. In a few short weeks I will be training on a new aspect of my job. I probably will not be able to listen to CBN praise music while I am training. I will miss it but look forward to the training completion and getting acclimated with this new chapter in my life then back to listening to CBN praise. I treasure this precious gift of listening to praise music while doing my job.

For Your Glory (feat. Calvin Nowell)

I am at my desk and the anointing is ever so sweet/rich as I listen to this song "For Your Glory" Free Worship featuring Calvin Nowell. Tears begin to fill my eyes and do you know why? At that moment I was doubting a little today in something. Then these beautiful words fill my ears and heart and all is well. "I put my trust in you oh God, I put my hope in you God, I put my faith in you God. For Your Glory. It is all for Your Glory." Touching my heart again as I write this. There are some worship songs at the very right time that touch the deepest part of your heart and then you just know ALL IS WELL and you ask forgiveness for even the slightest amount of doubt then ALL IS WELL.

Last Night At Church Holy Spirit Wooed Me To Worhip With Worship Flags, Have Not Done That In Years.

Holy Spirit has been wooing me to worship with worship flags. He puts the desire in your heart and gives the gentle nudge. The question is will you respond or not? Last night worship was great and the presence of God filled the room. I saw a woman that worships with worship flags and I asked this young child sitting next to me should we go worship with the flags. They responded that we have to ask the person if we could. So I love this child like faith of this child. I said will you walk over with me to ask the lady. They responded yes and we walked over and asked. I also felt led to ask if they would select the flags for the both of us to worship with. She handed me two similar flags that had the colors of the rainbow in them. It was a light and flowing material the flags were made of. We then went in the back of the sanctuary and worshiped Jesus. At one point I told this young person to dance with the angels with the flag. They did. Then there came a point in which I felt to go back to my seat and worship now with the instruments I had with me. This child still wanted to worship with the flags so they went and got their Nana and their Nana stayed with them to worship more.

Worshiping with flags is nothing new to me. I did this years ago. Even my spiritual mother back then was instrumental in helping me make a few flags also. I guess it was God's timing again to worship that night with the flags. You do know there are certain ways you worship with them that you are actually doing spiritual warfare. This spiritual mother gave me a diagram years ago of the different movements when worshiping with the worship flags in worship. I was truly blessed that this Godly woman and her husband and family were placed in my life.

I Did Not Find The Dream Interpretation I Searched For Into The Wee Hours Of The Morning The Other Night. I Am Ok With That. I Let It Go And Gave That To God. I Did Find Some Really Good Treasures In The Process Of My Searching.

I searched everywhere I could possibly think to search the other night I think until approximately 3AM. Found no dream interpretation of the dream I was searching for. Continued my search yesterday and to no avail. Look what I did find. I was reminded of the day my son gave his heart to Jesus. That date was 1/25/1998 I believe he was not quite 9 years old. When I was still Catholic I frequently went to a local Catholic shrine and I remember holding him as a child and I dedicated his life to God. I also came across the date I water baptized my son in Lake Hartwell. Same day his cousin kept saying I want the same thing he has. That date was 8/16/2001. So, I put a life preserver on and held onto the steps of the deck of the boat launch thing and water baptized him first. Then I led his cousin to Jesus and then water baptized them. Prophetic words of blessing came forth on each of them. I must  admit it took me about a year to share that with my sister. The whole family went into town and the only ones left at the lake house were us three. Know something funny, earlier that day we made a bees wax candle (I think it was a honeycomb type of wax we used for this project as a craft project. Thinking out loud now...Holy Spirit=light/revelation. What does a candle do=brings light. Holy Spirit coincidence I would like to think because there was no mention of water baptism when the candles were being made. After I water baptized I found out there were snakes in that lake and they would come up on the beach area. If I had prior knowledge of that I probably would have never even dangled my legs in the water.
This child was fascinated with building buildings, cities etc. He did a lot of this creative building with my mom reminded me a tan early age with Lego's then computer program Sims City if I remember correctly that was the title. He knew a city by the sky scraper overview of the downtown area. I.E. the Atlanta sky line overview of the city buildings. I said to him he should be an architect but he did not want to have to deal with the math requirements for that. That's ok there will be the 1,000 year millennial reign with Jesus and I can see this one creating and building beautiful architectural buildings/cities for the kingdom of God. What I am about to share with you does not have a date on it but look at the intricate details of what he drew for me, to be a creative instrument for me and my creativity in my own life. The note was what he wrote on the back of this picture. Such wisdom from a child. Do not tell me that we cannot learn/glean from our children because I will tell you yes we can and yes we do.

I Wrote This 12/16/2007. Prophetic Dream With Interpretation. It's Ok To Chuckle At My Eagle Drawing. I Am Creative Making Cards, Wreath's Etc. I Never Said I Was An Artist When It Comes To Drawing.

Did not find the dream I was seeking out to find but I came across this dream/interpretation though.

Still Did Not Find Dream Interpretation I Am Searching For But I Did Find This Song.

I searched the other night until approximately 3AM and still did not find my dream interpretation I wrote up on a dream I received years ago. I did find a few treasures though. I will share them with you at a future time. For now, a song I came across and I trust you will enjoy it. It is the song I have set on "repeat" in the car and I do not even know the word meanings but I know of the music artists and they are a Godly family/group. Enjoy "Collage" by The Katinas, the song is :

La'u Pele Ea

You know what would be a great sound added to this, the rain stick percussion instrument. I play my rain stick when I listen to this song.

Very Important Song I Must Share With You Now. I Was Searching For A Dream I Wrote About Me Walking Down A Country Road. Didn't Find It Yet But I Found A Letter I Sent To Carman Thanking Him For This Song That Inspired Me As I Was Assembling The Banner I Used At My Father's Funeral Mass.

"Jesus Is The Lamb" by Carman

This was another favorite song by Carman, "Prayer Anthem."
I may be all Croatian but my children are only half Croatian. They also have a blend of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English and German. When I would watch this video this was a little tribute to that side of their family heritage.
I have been searching for a prophetic dream I wrote down years ago. I came across this though. I wrote a letter to Carman thanking him for the song, "Jesus Is The Lamb" because that was the inspiration song I kept selecting repeat the entire time I assembled the banner that was then hung in my father's room at the hospice house and the funeral mass and then I gifted it to a church in Bradford, England. I am a person of detail and I kept my rough draft of the letter I composed 2/25/2001. Good thing I did because I remembered something when reading it over again tonight. Before I brought the banner into my father's room Holy Spirit told me to show it to another patient across the hall from my father's room I then showed it to Freida ( an older Catholic woman.)
The Lord put it in my heart, next, to use it at my father's funeral mass. The family gathered around my father's dead body mourning while we waited for my sibling to come from out of town. The Lord said to me do not mourn with them-rejoice- He's with Me and then He said go to Freida it is time to lead her to Me. I did in obedience and she gave her heart to the Lord. I often wonder if the Lord set that up to allow my father to see the truth in which I shared with him I told him that in the moment he gave his heart to Jesus his name was recorded in the Lamb's Book Of Life and all the angels in heaven rejoiced in that moment. Yep that was a portion of the letter I sent to Carman.
Please pray for me I really do need to find that prophetic dream. I remember walking down a dirt/gravel road in the country then I was in a room that was like a cabin type of setting in the country. Two people sat across from me at a table and one was an angel sharing with the other person that they were looking at a big stack of papers in front of them so high was the stack of papers that the person almost had to sit up straight to look over them across from me. The person was being shown the works that I performed and that I was a true Christian woman. I need to find this dream the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me the last day or so that it is fruition time now. See, we remember marker dreams we have but it is not until you review what you wrote down that jogs your memory of other important things contained in that very dream,
Case point, I remembered the creating of the banner but when I actually saw what I wrote about the music I played while assembling the banner it took me back to that time when I was in my kitchen actually creating this very banner. What about jogging my memory that I showed the banner to Freida prior to her giving her heart to Jesus. Have dreams, write down the dream because you just never know when they are in the fruition stage in your life. Please pray, this was a very special dream I had. If I remember correctly this may be the one and only dream experience I had in which Holy Spirit told me I would fall asleep and it was in the afternoon and I did go into a deep sleep and the dream came forth.

Amazing Grace Music Experience Today, To Be Followed By A Wonderful Yogurt Find By A Co-Worker's Suggestion.

Please watch this music video it moved me to tears while watching it. I had a very strong experience today while listening to "Amazing Grace." I went to search for a video of the song to share with you all and I could not search anymore  because this video compelled me to watch it. I did and there was no further need to search for this is the perfect one. Have a Kleenex ready when you watch this. This has anointing all over this song and the singer. Grace exudes from this young child singing this very song. Let Holy Spirit touch your heart ok. While listening to this song earlier today Holy Spirit spoke tenders words to my heart. I just love and cherish these divine moments when I am not even searching or looking for it and He blesses me immensely.

7 yr old Gospel singer Rhema Marvanne 

"It Is Well With My Soul." Gaither I tried looking for two other songs that touched my heart also today. I guess I am not very good at getting the catch phrase of the song to find the title and the song also. Maybe the notes I jotted down for the songs will bless you. "Why don't you join me on the mountain I don't share my secrets with strangers." The other song I searched for is "This World Is Not My Own." Hey I did find the last one on my list though, "It Is Well With My Soul." Be blessed. Now I must share with you about a yogurt a co-worker told me about. The average person does not do cart wheels over yogurt I have found to be the norm, would you agree with that? I tried "NOOSA Finest Yoghurt." One package label says "Aussie culture*Colorado fresh." From what I have found they have 8 ounce and 4 ounce sizes. This is not the yogurt experience I ever had before. If you get the larger size and you are watching your calorie intake then just eat half one day and save the rest for the next day. I have had the opportunity to try a few of the different flavors the past few weeks and each one is delectable. I have tried strawberry rhubarb; lemon; key lime; blueberry and I have not tried it yet but it was highly recommended, honey. I wonder if a fast of just yogurt would be good for you one day. Like eat yogurt for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then drink liquids in between? Let's see if Holy Spirit calls me to that new adventure. It is a bit more expensive in comparison to regular yogurt per say but it is worth selecting one to try it. You may just be glad that you did.

My College Friend Is The Best. She Hand Delivered 6 Boxes Of Count Chocula Cereal To My Daughter's Residence For Her Birthday. I Think That Is KindnessTo The Highest Degree.

I received a call from my daughter today and she told me there was she thought a knock at her door on Saturday and then when she looked later she saw 6 boxes of her favorite cereal , Count Chocula with a birthday card. That is a seasonal cereal and you cannot get it throughout the year. She said it would last her until next Halloween time. Isn't that funny how like minds think alike. We talked on Saturday on my little journey for the day. I told her I would see what they had at the candy store I was heading to and if there was anything good she would be getting a package in the mail. There were good treats I found for her and I did place a package in the mail. We were thinking alike. I gave her my daughter's address and then I suggested if she was going to be heading in that direction to possibly just drop it off and save on postage.
This is kindness to the highest degree. Way before we conversed she already found and bought the Count Chocula cereal for my daughter. If you have a dear friend like this that is part of your life I am telling you to cherish that friendship. Those are the God ordained friendships rich in blessing. Do you laugh with your friend, I do. Can you share serious moments in your life with your friend we do. Can we laugh again some more we do. Friendship is just as rich as golden nuggets of gold so to speak. You would not throw around a pure piece of gold and treat it as a trash item would you? No you would not, you cherish fine items like that. The same with a true and genuine friendship, cherish it and never take it for granted.

My Heart Is A Bit Sad Today. My Mother's Cousin That She Was Close With Died Today. Thank God My Mother Sent A Package To Her When She Was Prompted To.

When one gets up in age they start to experience friends and family dying. My heart just went out to my mother today. Her cousin that they have been good friends throughout the years just died today. My mother shared with me that she sent a Croatian CD for her to listen to and she got an email recently stating that her cousin received the package and they were listening to the music. See how important it is to follow Holy Spirit nudges to do or send something? If she would have waited would there have ever been the opportunity to enjoy the music? Timing is pertinent when Holy Spirit speaks to your heart. You know we are not promised tomorrow so make the most of the today's you have in your life. Is there someone you are suppose to converse with; meet; share the gospel with. Do not delay and follow through. If you missed the mark so to speak then repent and be a follow through person ok.
How appropriate that the song that touched my heart t today is Beulah Land. Let me share that with you.  Be a doer of the word of God and not just a reader of the word of God. Do not slack off in the one area because you are working on the other area do both.

My First Born Celebrates Her Birthday Today, 9/4. I Will Just Say She Is 30something. I Like This Post Enough So That It Is Worth Sharing Again With A Few Updated Pictures Too.

My daughter's birthday will be 9/4. Let me tell you a story about this birth. My former husband and I knew if I did not go into labor prior to Labor Day that year I would then have to go to the hospital very early the next morning to be induced. Our daughter at that point was 2 1/2 weeks overdue. We took the Lamaze classes had the hospital bag all ready to go and now I had to wait. They had me monitor for a few days the number of times I felt movement while at home. I was fine. At this point I was ready to give birth. We checked into the hospital and they started the dreaded Pitocin. The reason I  say that is because it kind of made you fearful if they had to use Pitocin because of the stories you heard when taking Lamaze classes. One thing I will say is that Pitocin was not as bad as they led you to believe when watching the Lamaze videos. Well, the only thing Pitocin did for me was cause my waters to break and then I was informed if the baby was not delivered within a certain period of time I would have to have a  C-section performed. There really was no active labor per say but I do remember that when I would get a contraction the peak of the contraction lasted a few minutes. I didn't know any better because I never delivered a baby before.

I checked into the hospital the prior day @ 6AM they started the Pitocin drip and the next day I was informed I had to prep for the C-section. I remember it being cold in the hospital and when they gave me the epidural it felt like a warm blanket that covered my body. I was mostly all protruded stomach with this overdue baby inside of me so it was a little uncomfortable getting into the right position for the epidural to be administered in my spine. I think at this point of no sleep and just wanting to give birth I was a little apprehensive because I was having to go through major surgery to deliver our child but relieved that the birth would soon take place. I do not like pain so I think I made the doctors test  a couple of times to make sure I was numb before any surgery began. I was numb. Our daughter was born 10 pounds 3 1/2 ounces due to being overdue 2 1/2 weeks. She was beautiful with so much hair it looked like she was born with a shag haircut. I thought she was stylish with that natural hairstyle when she was born.

We had a picture of her in the nursery at the hospital and she happened to be next to a baby I think the baby was 6 pounds, she even looked so perfectly filled out next to this other baby.  

This young woman is smart, kind, an avid reader for as long as I can remember, a goal setter/achiever, beautiful and still gives the best bear hugs when I ask. She is very responsible and when she recently visited she was the one that kept us on our time schedules so we got to where we needed to be. An example of her goal setting...she worked at an amusement park during high school and college Summers and then the weekends they would be open during the Fall. Her goal before leaving there was that she wanted to skipper the paddle boat ride and have to tell corny jokes at the same time. She did it and I sat on that boat ride enjoying every bit of it. She applied and was accepted to the Disney college intern program and she spent time there also during college. That was a great mini vacation we went on because of her great discount on property hotels and then passes into the different parks. She was assigned to work a new ride being opened at the park and she was able to see some musical personalities along with a favorite television star that was in a series she used to watch when she was younger. I can only imagine what it was like being there to experience that.

I am blessed to have her as my daughter and know that she will plow through anything because she accepts challenges and does not quit. One regret I do have is that we signed her up for horseback riding lessons and she loved it and she only participated for that session of lessons. She was pretty good at it also. I have a video of her riding the horse and something got caught and the next thing I knew she was riding upside down on the side of the horse. One of the instructors went to her and they did not allow us to go out in the arena to go and get her. The reason was if we did she would not want to get back on the horse again. She did get back on the horse. I guess I regret not being able to sign her up for more lessons because I think that would have blessed her with us going through with a divorce. Never the less I am honored to call her my daughter.

Look at this adorable shag hair style she was born with. I think she was either 3 weeks old or a little over that when she received her first hair trimming.

Christening day. My hand was bandaged because I was making formula and somehow scalded my hand it really hurt. Thank God I was not scarred from it. That was either mine or my sister's christening dress she is wearing.

Christening evening. We propped her up next to a doll she received and they both are sitting in the doll rocker.

Grown up and she still is a beauty and he is handsome. I may be a bit partial considering they are my children.

My mother was concerned about my health post surgery. My ankles began to swell sort of when a Dr. is concerned about a pregnant woman whose ankles swell during the pregnancy. I really could not see the swelling in my ankles I just came out of surgery and was laying flat in my hospital bed. It was explained that post pregnancy swollen ankles were not a concern as they are when you are pregnant. During pregnancy there is a concern of developing preeclampsia but my mother was assured by the Dr. it was not the same post pregnancy. They must have swelled up a lot for my mother to have concern. Thank God for caring mother's that still look out for the welfare of their grown children. Bless her Jesus bless her this very day.

When my daughter was a toddler my father blessed her with an overstuffed and big in size Easter Bunny. She named it Bun Bun and I think she still has it somewhere to this very day. Well, she added an addition to her household and it is a bunny. Do you know what she named this bunny? Of course silly, she named it Bun Bun. Look how adorable this bunny is:

Meet Bun Bun

Can you tell that I love my daughter? I didn't even eat dinner yet because I was determined to find more of my favorite pictures of her. Do you ever wish they would go back to being a baby again. I do but I know they can't because it is our job to train them up and then they get to experience God's divine destiny for their very own life. Praise God that He is faithful. Amen

Since I first wrote this, Katie added an addition to her household. A bunny named Mrs. Honeybun. See, grandparents out there you never know what gifts given to your grandchildren will have an effect on them in their life.

The first picture I added was one she took when working @ Universal Studios. Doesn't it look like it could be a postcard?  Mrs. Honeybun is the bunny that is white in color with the pink colored eyes. Bun Bun is the other bunny you see. Ben is my son's cat. I have never met yet the bunnies but one day I will get back home for a visit and have the great pleasure of meeting them too. Happy Birthday Katie.
