There Was Another Item Or Two In My Ministry/Praise Satchel I Brought With Me To The Event. I Kind Of Had An Inkling I Just May Run Into The Person I Was Behind Waiting To Turn @ The Light. This Is Amazing.

See, you did not know this but yesterday I also tucked 2 more items in my praise instrument satchel. One was a bag of assorted chocolates individually wrapped for my friend as a treat, Russell Stover's. The other item Holy Spirit directed me to also take along with me was a music cd. The worship cd you can purchase at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store gift shop. I can only share what Holy Spirit nudges me to do. I am bold but not brazen bold that is. I did not feel urgency to get out of my car while waiting at the light to tap on that person's window to hand them a music cd. I did not get that unction and I also knew I was not going to stay in the line going into the venue following the line. Remember I had to turn into a truck stop to connect with my friend so we could go to this event together like we planned. Oh the journeys Holy Spirit sends me on sure are fun. Are your journeys with Him fun too?
 Did I show you a gasoline price I saw the other day, this time $1.37 per gallon? What do you think about this, let the gas get as low as $0.99. When it gets so low we will all probably be released from being tied to home at that point. Time to go on family road trips what do you think. How beautiful that would be seeing families taking to the road with gas so low and enjoying a family adventure.
I was sent a picture of my family members mini golden doodle with her Summer time haircut. It sure did put a smile on my face. Can not wait to go see my family and this little one too. I am like an aunt that visits, has fun with the little one and then gets to go home and not have to deal with the taking care of the little one. All fun and no work attached. That is what makes it fun. Not having to worry about being tied down when I go on adventures. Trying to make arrangement for taking care of the little one while being gone. Not having to worry about feeding the little, bathing the little one or things of that nature. The down side can be missing the fun on a daily basis the little one does bring and the smiles too because they are just so darn cute.

Amazing Amazing Amazing Yesterday 4/28/2020 I Stepped Out Of My Comfort Zone, I Am A Worshiper ...

There are certain days, appointments in time, in a person's life that are marked as Divine Destiny. Yesterday was definitely one for me. Strategic planning/timing is all involved in this. Here is how it unfolded for me yesterday …….
There was an amazing event where many churches came together to produce this milestone worship/prayer event in my region. In advance I invited 3 people Holy Spirit showed me to invite. I am the sort of person that does not push ideas onto people in regard to an invitation. I share it and then they have to hear from Holy Spirit if they attend or not. I do not judge or put condemnation on them. One said ok and we planned to meet at a truck stop location at a certain time to follow each other for the venue was literally around the corner from this truck stop. Like I have shared all along with you, Holy Spirit gives me sort of like a timeline/table of content list when He gives me His directions. I knew this that I was to leave my house @ 3:00pm and heading to the venue get the car washed. There are several car washes where I reside but I had an inkling of one particular one. As I am turning down the street there was a new car wash built. He says go to that one. It was a great experience for me. Have you ever been to a car wash where it is made with glass type of walls so you can look out while having your car washed? Then I looked to my left and it was like it was a wall of a mirror so you could actually see the car on the outside as it was being cleaned. I will go back to this car wash, it was $1.00 more than other local ones but well worth the money for such a wonderful car wash experience. I did not have time to vacuum and the representative told me about the state of the art vacuums they have. Somehow 2 are connected to each other and they do not continually run all day long just while being used. I definitely will need to go back to experience this. Another thing I kept seeing the word Rainbow on little signs above you for it was like you drove under bows above you. Oh my then the thank you sign that actually posts thanks for the car wash you paid for, it is mentioned in the thank you sign. As you approach the end of the car wash a sign has two choices, the one states relax while the other one lets you know it is finished and you can drive forward.
So I am to make another stop on the way, The Fresh Market. I called in advance to see if they had 2 particular coffee beans to be ground. They said they did have one and told me about a chocolate raspberry and I should request that a person that works in the store has to grind it for you. I had the time to make this stop because I did not have to meet my friend until 4:30pm. I get there and I find Almond Amaretto coffee beans but I do not see Chocolate Cherry Kiss, that bin is empty. I only saw Chocolate Molten. I was willing to get them and mix the two and there was suppose to be a Chocolate Raspberry flavor also. The store rep. had to get someone from the coffee area to further assist me. She comes over and shows me the raspberry one was already ground in a sealed package. That was not going to work for me because it is the combo I first mentioned that really works great together. I think I discovered this combo when I was in AL a bit over a year ago when I had a break in between ministry sessions and I went exploring the area and stumbled upon a location of The Fresh Market and purchased the beans of this combo of coffee and ground the 2 together. With further discussion, I found out there will be a shipment this week and both coffees will be available for them to grind up my combo choice. I then asked if there was a rest room available and she directed me to the restroom. Good thing because I am not so much a porta potty type of gal and that would have been the only choice for me at this venue. Oddly enough, one was located in front of my parking spot there.
I get back on the highway and I am now heading to meet my friend. I get off at the exit and as I am waiting in line for the light to change and even after the light changes I think I recognize the person in the car in front of me. I am going to an event in which maybe 1,000 cars it can hold in their parking lot and of all the cars to be in front of me is someone I think I recognize and know? Just a little nudge Holy Spirit is saying I am right on track with me being at this divine destiny appointment in time in my life. I now can see where my friend is parked in the parking lot so I call to verify I am at the light and ready to turn in. She meets me as I pull in and I then follow her to our appointment with destiny. We are directed to a parking spot and we roll down our windows to talk and catch up with each other. She is an editor and we talk about a book she is editing for someone right now and is not charging this person anything to do this. I shared with her that of the books I read I tend to find more typo errors in books published by Destiny Image and self published books and hardly any at all with books from Whitaker House. I told her about what I thought I learned in regard to using ( ) she told me she would look it up but she thought I was doing it correctly the way I was doing it. She explained when you are suppose to do it like this ( ). to  me also.
You all know I am a worshiper right? So I brought along my ministry satchel. It houses my 2 rain sticks; plenty of pens to take notes in my leather bound journal; 3 percussion shakers; 2 bible translations; and my praise hand held banner I made. I knew there just may be an opportunity to worship here, at least in my car. I did just that. We had to tune into a radio station to hear the worship and the prayer portions too. I was worshiping in my car with all 3 instruments. Not both rain sticks for the Holy Spirit really likes the sound that comes forth from the blue rain stick I have. This venue was referred to as a field and remember when I shared with you, yes, there will be stadiums filled with worship is correct but He also showed me fields would be filled with worship.
I am living that right there. So the song Waymaker Miracle Worker starts and I feel this tugging inside me to get out of my car and stand by it with my rainstick in hand to release the sound of heaven into the atmosphere via worship. I hesitate at first thinking what if someone asks me to stop playing it.You know this has happened to me before in a few churches where it is not accepted as a form of worship. I seek counsel from my friend parked next to me and I share my concerns, she knows of them and she encourages me to follow what Holy Spirit is showing me. I step out in faith and obey and boy was I blessed. Good thing I was standing next to my car because there were a few times I wished there was a catcher there because I felt myself rising upward in a moment here and there and glad the car was there to brace me. I obeyed in the moment for that very song and then my stepping out in faith moment was fulfilled. I then returned to the inside of my car and continued on.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing is all I can say about this date with destiny day for me.

It's A Pink Color Day For Me Today. I Listened To This While Sanitizing My Home With My Haan Sanitizer.

020-03D The Perfect Storm by Bob Jones with Bonnie Jones Intro and Recap


I woke up today knowing it will be a pink color theme day for me today. It started off early and I combined pink tinted shower gel combo. I mixed Pink Grapefruit & Wild Strawberry scents. Thank God I did not run out of the coordinating body creams yet. I also mixed the 2 scents together. I have Tutti Frutti nail color on my nails. I purchased pink and white carnations also this morning. I have a pink tinged top ready to wear and with the weather we have today probably a pink turtle neck. I will wear my jeans that have the faux gemstones all over the front of the jeans. I even have a deeper tone of suede boots. It is not warm here to wear sandals or anything like that so it is about being warm.
Bonnie Jones does such a nice job in this video in the intro & the recap. Why isn't anyone bringing her into my region, she was his wife. Yes, I know there are many connected to Bob Jones but do you not think he shared things with his wife that maybe he did not share with others?  I think husbands do share things with their spouse that are not shared with others do you agree. Just maybe there is a hidden gold nugget or two waiting to come forth. Give her a platform to share what she has to share. She just may have missing pieces to the puzzle. Did you ever think of it like that?
I listened to this video while I was sanitizing floors and furniture this afternoon. I love the Haan sanitizer I bought a couple of years ago. You simply use water with this machine. It is maneuverable, meaning the main portion swivels to get in spots you may not be able to get at all the time. Under beds, chairs, tables. You know each time I use this sanitizer there is this refreshing scent in the air. I love this machine and I highly recommend it. They had a buy out a couple of years ago at Bargain Hunt. I knew of this brand before but it was too expensive to purchase when I first saw it. Isn't that funny that name brand stayed with me for years and then there it was at a great price point. I even told a friend about this then and they purchased one too.
Oh, pink spectrum type of ring & pink wrist watch I will wear and letting Holy Spirit pick the earrings to wear. He already picked the rest of the outfit so make it complete right. I even have a ruana  type of wrap that has tinges of pink tome in it. I told you it was a pink colored day.

Wonders Never Cease, I Saw A Gas Price Sign Today 4/25/2020 @ $1.39. How Low Can You Go. Went Walking Just Before The Rain Came In.

It was late in the afternoon. I was going to go walking earlier but I was intrigued with watching a Sid Roth interview. It was ok that I put off walking because I also did my exercise bike for part of the video then sat and watched the rest of the very insightful interview. I then felt in the atmosphere the winds of change like stirring of a storm coming in. Now, if I was back home in OH, I would have probably jumped in my car and went to the park by the lake to watch the storm come in. You know when a storm is brewing the wind picks up and the clouds get a bit darker. I just knew I had to go walk by the river. I drove there and had my umbrella with me in the event the rain started. It actually held off until I was back in my car.

I prayed in tongues while I walked and there was hardly anyone on the trails. I approach the bridge and I was literally walking over troubled water. It rained earlier today I think I may have slept through it if it rained during the night. I knew the river would be higher than usual because there are certain tale tell (is that how you say it) things to give you a hint at this. I approach the ramp to the bridge and I notice the water below is in a rushing current flow and did not see the huge amount of turtles I saw a few weeks ago. I walk across the bridge and as I am going down the ramp what do my wondering eyes see? The appearance of a section of newly laid cement. Hurrah, they repaired the bumpy part of the walking trail. I continued on walking and sure enough, the water was too high to hear the babbling brook. I turned around and heading back over the bridge I noticed only a few turtles here and there like they were getting a reprieve from the high water level. A few here, a few there trying to find space on a tree log that wasn't under water. As I am about to approach the down ramp the sun peaks out from the clouds and I hear the Lord say this to me "You did good work today you did very good work & the day is not done yet." The sun remained with me walking back even while the wind picked up. The rain held off until I was in my car. That is where I jotted down the words spoken to me.

Oh on the way to the park I noticed a man was walking and something fell out of his pocket and went on the ground. He kept walking and probably wasn't aware of it. I stopped my car and backed up a little bit and rolled down my window and let him know something fell from his pocket that was a green color. He then went back and traced his steps and I drove off to the park. It costs you nothing but a bit of your time to show kindness. I would sure hope someone would tell me if they saw something like that. Can you imagine getting home and realizing something was missing and then having to go back and re-trace your steps to try and find it. Or what if it was a bank card and someone else picked it up?

I finished my sun catcher project today and they are nicely refreshed and packed away. What is my next project? Remember when I shared the song, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" because I saw James Goll share about it with his daughter in a time of ministry? Who would have ever thought I would actually be walking on a bridge over troubled water today. God knew all along because He directs my steps.

Gas Price Lower Again; Easy Pre-Packing Chore For Today; Are The Tests Completed Now Or Near Completion?

The other day I snapped a picture of local gas price per gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline. Needs to come down a bit more to be @ $1.39 price point like the old gas station sign I took a picture of years ago. I have a simple task to complete today. Holy Spirit had me take down my sun catchers to Spring clean the glass and pack them up for the journey of a lifetime I am about to embark upon. I was up pretty early this morning.  I had 2 not God given dreams I had to deal with and cast off and then there was a God given dream. The order given to me was 2 not God dreams and then the God given dream. So like Him to answer me when I questions the 2 prior dreams. Holy Spirit confirmed they were not of Him. I actually sent them back to the originator of the dreams; cut off their communication; removed any remembrance from my memory; staved off anything that would have attempted to come at me from the dreams and cast them to the dry, desolate, arid, uninhabited places. Then I pondered a bit on the God given dream.
A room was being painted and it was being painted in anticipation of me going there. It was like they were painting it in a fast motion getting ready for me. I remember the color of the paint, like a turquoise deeper in hue blue paint. The people painting were making sure no spots were missed in the painting of the walls in this room. Kind of nice that they were paying attention to detail since I tend to be a detail oriented person. As I pondered on this dream and the color in the dream I was reminded of an accent lamp I have that would go right along with this color. Can this be a room of rest and relaxation? Like getting away to a tropical island type of place. Maybe, blue is known to be a soothing color. This paint color was more of a rich color of blue turquoise almost like the deep blue color of an ocean when you see pictures of the deep azure water. I do like the tropics, I sure do enjoy wearing 100% linen or cotton clothing. I think America needs to take back the clothing industry that was taken from us by the cheaply made clothing imported from China. It is that cheaply made, clingy sort of material that has a sheen to it. Stop bringing in cheap quality clothing item at a cheap price point in which the retailer marks up anyhow. I know we can grow our own cotton, harvest it and then sell it within the USA for designers to create clothing that breathes and not that cheap quality material used to make things.
You know what, while I am on the subject of items made in China. I loved buying unique platters, serving bowl, etc. made in either Italy or Portugal at TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Marshall's etc.. China is starting to imitate the type of design and I at first look at an item that catches my attention and think it is made in either of those places. I find they are not and you will see on the back of the item made in China. When did the USA give China the power to invade our country with their items? It is one thing if the product stands up to quality standards but imitating an item that doesn't produce the same quality standard I think is deception. Deception needs to stop now.
When clothing stores open back up what do you think we will expect? I wonder if the covid 19 virus was definitely around when people were shopping these stores prior to closing, if it is on items in the store? I tend to think of things like this. If that would be the case will they sanitize everything to be sold in the store. I don't want to try on yet alone buy items that may have traces of the virus on them would you. I tried to research this question but nothing really came up on my search.
The other things I wonder if we will see: 1.) price gouging to recoup loss of revenue with the stores being closed. 2.) drastically reduced prices on items that sat in the stores while they were closed (to move the current inventory to make room for the inventory that just may be sitting in warehouses now).
I have not so good news to share with you. I felt led one day last week to check on the status of the oil flowing from the bible in Dalton, GA. The ministry posted a statement on April 14, 2020 that they chose to dissolve the Flowing Oil Ministries. This came forth from some sample testing of the oil in 2020 time frame and in regard to a newspaper article that was published. They also state if you have further questions to contact them via email. Let me tell you my experience with the oil if I may. I was in there a few weeks after the oil stopped coming forth (I did not know about it at the time) and I did get a few vials of the oil. I have used that oil and it still works. Now I do not rely on the oil per say. I state when I place it upon my hands that the oil represents the blood of Jesus. I put my trust in Jesus not the oil, the oil is a point of contact. The oil was never about the oil but pointing people towards Jesus, the healer, miracle worker. I can only tell you my experience. Maybe people were getting a bit greedy and charging admittance to the oil event or taking up offerings and not letting the protectors of the oil trust completely in Holy Spirit to provide for them. I do not know the answer but I am most thankful for the days I did experience being the distributor of the oil. That is how Holy Spirit used me. I would freely get vials of oil and distribute them to people as Holy Spirit placed it upon my heart. Each time I would run out of vials I would get more on my journeys and then freely give forth again and so forth. Thank you Holy Spirit for the signs and wonders that came forth in the name of Jesus to bless the people. Do not put your trust in the oil itself but put your trust in Jesus, I do.
I feel like I have been in a series of tests for the last almost 2 years now. I trust I passed the tests, did I? It must be pretty important to go through so many tests for this next adventure in my life. I have been also putting out there tests to be passed and the majority of them have been passed. Praise God. Let me share with you about a situation that could have been awkward to handle but I did gracefully move through it with Holy Spirit direction. Oh before that, this is how I knew I was passing certain tests... at the very moment in God's timing the weight of the presence of God would come upon me and a person would pass by me and a gentle smile would come upon my face with incredible peace inside me. Sort of like an acknowledgement that another test, ok here we go again. See, not on all tests but some tests I knew by Holy Spirit insight I was in a test and just be me and that is what happened.
So I was at a ministry event and Holy Spirit really does show me what to wear and I obey and pack the clothes I need and wear them when He says to wear them. This was nothing unusual to me, on that day of me following His lead. He said wear the orange top and I dressed in the outfit He chose for that day. It is important to hear and respond in obedience even when He speaks to you what and when to wear something. Including (if you are a woman) makeup, fragrance, nail polish, accessories just do it ok. I did that day. I was there during the ministry time and the speaker mentions to everyone that they wondered why a person wore an orange top that day. I was in a solid orange top and I discreetly looked around the room and I was the only person that fit that description. I remained calm and everything inside of me wanted to respond/blurt out because Holy Spirit told me to wear it. I refrained and silently thought the response. I thought nothing of it but I guess there were others that must have noticed it. Later that evening, (I changed outfits after the morning/afternoon session) I was speaking with someone and another person came up and told this person she is the lady in the orange top? I need to get a bit more bold and should have asked why she referred to me in that manner. I think I did ok with not blurting out an unsolicited answer earlier in the day what do you think? Timing is everything so be very sensitive to Holy Spirit guidance and heed His voice when He tells you to move or act upon something ok. I will show pictures of my sun catchers and the gas price sign too.

"Prophecy Decoders: Charlie Shamp and His May 2018 Prophecy"

I Am My Grandfather's Grandaughter. I Like A Way He Would Consume Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup My Grandmother Made.

They called him Robert but his given (first name) Eastern European name was Bozo. He emigrated to the USA before he was even out of his teenage years. He was a bachelor and enjoyed the life of a bachelor from the stories told to his children. He had a great sense of adventure. My aunt told me once that I have my grandfather's sense of adventure in me. I do, I am a free spirit at times. I go here, there and then over there as the wind of Holy Spirit leads me. He takes me on many great adventures, Holy Spirit and I that is. I am getting that wandering spirit rising up inside me again.
It bubbles forth then it subsides but it is bubbling up again in my life. I made a commitment to a shorter than my usual 1 year lease and it is about due to expire. I keep searching online for a place to either rent or buy and nothing presents itself to me. I even go on rides at times a ride of faith to see if anything pops out at me for a home. NOTHING presents itself to me. Sometimes I think stay in this region. Then there are the times that I am thinking maybe nothing is presenting itself to me because there is nothing to keep me in this region. I told you I am a free spirit. How do you think I arrived in the state I currently reside in right now. Spirit led on an adventure even though I knew not 1 person in the state I moved to at the time. Where God guides He provides.
I am following Holy Spirit direction in my life right now in this faith area. He shows me to start packing up my possessions. Little chores on His list here and there. I like to make practical furnishings a bit prettier. I got this idea years ago when I was making jewelry. I created jewelry for my ceiling fans. I bought jewelry making stones and spacers and created a pattern with them on the pull chain portion of the ceiling fans. I got on my 3 step ladder and took them down and placed each set in an individual bag and then stored them all together in a larger bag so I will remember what went where. Next project … years ago I bought decorative switch plate covers for light outlets. I took the time when I moved here to take the plain looking one's off and put mine on. I am clever when I do things like this, each one was stored with the screws that came with them. I also packed away my decorative light switch plates. Onto the next project... remove all pictures, large and small from my walls and spring clean them. My little tid bit on this is when I remove the nail or picture hook from the wall that hung that particular item I then tape it to the back of the picture. Almost done with this project. I cannot quite reach one picture I have hanging on the wall above my tub. I did not want to reach too far and take a chance of losing my balance so I have to put a small step stool in my tub to reach this one. My father's portrait is still hanging up and I do not want to take that down quite yet. I only got it  a few months ago.
Next project … you know the soffit space above the kitchen cupboards area? I decorated that empty space with a few groupings of items. I removed and cleaned my crystal cake plate/dome and I had another crystal cake plate along with a ceramic bean pot used to make baked beans. Also displayed up there was a Waterford crystal sea horse figurine. Do you know how I attained that piece of crystal. An older couple were joined in marriage and that was a gift given to the guests at their wedding reception. Pretty nice guest gift what do you think? My china is Mikasa and I have service for 16 and that is stored in my closet in the boxes. I do not have room to display it. I have serving pieces also that match this set of china. I have my silver plated silverware also. Every single time I use it is like therapy. Cleaning silver can be like therapy because there is something about seeing tarnished silverware become shiny when it is being cleaned. Who knows what my next packing assignment will be. Holy Spirit knows and I am sure He will reveal it to me when He wants me to work on that next project.
Back to my grandfather now. My grandmother made a big Sunday dinner and whomever was there that Sunday would eat a feast prepared for a king. Soup with home made noodles, entrée and dessert of some sort. I can guarantee you it was not store bought dessert either. So, grandma would take the time to make home made chicken noodle soup and she would get upset with grandpa do you know why? He would put ketchup in his soup. For some reason some of us cousins tend to do that too. I am one of them. Sometimes no but sometimes a bit of ketchup sort of gives a tang to the soup. I think grandma would say to him if he wanted tomato soup she would have made it. I fondly remember grandpa sitting at the table and he would not only eat the soup but he would eat some of the vegetables from the soup. I thought that was yucky as a child but guess what I found myself doing today? I made homemade chicken soup and as I was straining the vegetables to discard, something nudged inside of me to eat the cooked cabbage, I did and that reminded me of grandpa. Hum, I wonder if he was thinking of me. He spoke a broken English accent and he could never call me Kimberly, it would come out like this Chimberly.
When my one uncle did a biography of our family based a lot on Grandpa emigrating to the USA he included stories the children were told when growing up. As a young boy my grandfather worked on the farm tending to the livestock and other typical hard labor farm chores. He spent many days alone in the pastures as a shepherd guarding the livestock. On top of that he was an altar boy and student at a local Catholic church/school. I did not know this about my grandfather until I read what my uncle wrote, "he remained religious throughout his life."  This is interesting too, their farm house was made of natural limestone. The family lived in one part of the house and some of the livestock in an adjoining section of the same house. Kind of reminds me a bit of  Noah's ark. He told them that the farm land had very stony soil and the only thing it was good for was raising goats and sheep in the distant pastures. The soil was not good for growing crops so they sold wool and livestock and traded for items also. His port of entry was Ellis Island and it lists him having $25.00 in his possession when he arrived. This is definitely an adventurous man how in the heck could a 19 year old plan such a trip by himself?
This portion I am going to share like it is composed by my uncle:
"He told a story about finding a payroll bag full of money along the railroad tracks, while working one day. He returned the money to the company and was well respected for that honest deed. Was there a reward? He didn't say. I believe that good gesture must have served him well, because he had employment on that railroad for some years after. He was eventually promoted and trained to be a professional mechanic and machinist, and relied on those skills the rest of his working career; I thought perhaps that training was his reward. He said his philosophy was to learn well and volunteer for the more difficult assignments, believing that would make him more valuable to the company and less likely to be laid off."
This is interesting, when he arrived at Ellis Island it stated his final destination was St. Louis, Missouri to join an uncle. This was possibly his sponsor when he came to the USA, for that was a requirement for entry at the time. We were not raised in St. Louis, not my family. Apparently in 1912 he was still 19 years old and living alone in New York City. Somehow he managed to find his way to a railroad construction camp in Pennsylvania and not St. Louis and was hired as a laborer. These camps were created into nationality groups, very interesting what do you think? My grandfather was very handsome and a fashionable dresser and they knew that because of photos they have of that time period. He was in Ohio and he owned a Dodge 4 door touring sedan and felt the call of adventure and left this railroad job and drove to California. Think of taking a road trip like that in 1923. No highways like we have now, that would truly have been an adventure. The highway was only 10% paved and the rest was gravel or dirt, wow what a journey.
He settled in Oakland, CA and worked for a transit company as a mechanic. This is interesting, if they could not fix the bus on the road he would wrap chain around the bumpers and tow the bus back to the garage using his own Dodge sedan. Now, that would be unheard of nowadays do you agree. I love this portion also. Because he had that adventure in him he toured California also. He tells how he met and befriended the famous silent film star Rudolph Valentino, they were about the same age. They met is Los Angeles or San Francisco. My grandfather did not get married until the age of 33 years old.
Then my uncle goes on to share of the adventures they had as children. My grandmother was a very kind person. Did you know she knew how to read and write Croatian and would write letters to Croatia for immigrant friends who weren't able to write themselves. My grandfather would butcher a pig in the basement in the autumn with the help of an uncle and they would separate sections of the meat and would also make homemade sausage. He had a homemade smoke house in the backyard also.
Also in the autumn he would buy a truckload of concord grapes and squeeze the grapes in a press to make wine. They also made sauerkraut in the autumn. My mom, aunt and uncles job was as children to step on the cabbage to compress it in the crock. So this is how it was done, placed cabbage into a 20 gallon ceramic crock and added water, salt and vinegar to it. Very interesting. They lived in a mixed Eastern European neighborhood that was about 1/2 mile from the lake in which they enjoyed swimming, sunbathing and even beach parties in the evening. There was a local amusement park not too far away I remember that and my mom tells us how they had dances in the hall there also. My grandmother canned fruits and vegetables and I do remember they always had a garden in their back yard. Pear trees too. Looks like the year I was born grandpa retired and he did enjoy his years tending his garden. He loved to tinker and create things in his garage. I fondly remember him relaxing on the front porch also. I do not recall this but my uncle shares that he continued to make wine still. He died at the age of 80.
Can you see where I get the adventure in me? I now know why I say yes when Holy Spirit says lets go on an adventure. You know me by now, I say ok lets go and we do go. I share many of my adventures with you all the time. Just when I think I am supposed to stay in this region the adventure inside of me rises up. This has happened to me on and off more so in the last year or two than I can ever remember it being strong. Let's see where Holy Spirit wind will take me. I know this for sure, I am to keep on packing up my residence for the great sound of lets go and I say ok lets go, show me where to go. You know He likes to lead me bit by bit by bit until I reach the final destination and then I sit back and say I see His handiwork in this.
Just before me sitting down to compose this I baked in the oven a cut up golden potato, sweet potato, carrots and onion slices seasoned with dry ranch dressing, fresh ground white pepper and a bit of garlic salt mixed with some olive oil. Side dish for the next few days. I have marinating in the refrig chicken breasts that I will make in the air fryer. I am tired now so I will end this and rest.

One more thought as I close this. I presented a question to someone a few weeks ago and never received a response. I trust Holy Spirit when He guides me to write a letter and send it. I do not sit there and try to think of things to put in the letter. It is as if He is hand feeding me the words to write as I compose it. I send it off in faith as He shows me to. My question presented did not receive an answer. Actually there were 2 questions in this particular letter. I need to start to be a bit more assertive and ask an explanation right then and there and not ask the question weeks later. Why can I be bold in some things in my life but I tend to be less aggressive in other areas. I guess it is I feel like I do not want to speak the question I am asking inside me when it happens. I need to vocalize the inside thought in the moment so as to not miss an opportunity. I tend to think abstract things at times. This is what I was thinking, in the bible it says the Gentiles are to provoke the Jews to jealousy. I understood that verse when I thought I was a Gentile. I now know I am part Jewish so my question is how and am I suppose to provoke myself now? I was the born again, spirit filled Gentile and then found out I am also the Jewish at the same time. A friend of mine that is a minister guided me to the scripture in the bible. I know how to look this sort of thing up. Do you know how I do it? I ask google where is the scripture verse in the bible and I read the verse. My friend was spot on with the scripture verse location answer given to me. See, I do not just take a persons word for granted, I did the google search also. I received my wisdom answer from Holy Spirit while reading it in The Passion Translation. Verse 15 was my answer, "For if their temporary rejection released the reconciling power of grace into the world, what will happen when Israel is reinstated and reconciled to God? It will unleash resurrection power throughout the whole earth!" I am going to be in a position to unleash resurrection power of Jesus through Jesus throughout the whole earth. Praise God.

While Going Through Books In A Closet 4/19/2020 Look What I Found Tucked Inside Small Notebook Where I Took Notes When My Pastor Preached. A Word Given To Me 4/15/2007 @ 10:30AM...

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to find this word dated 4/15/07 in a small notebook. I was rummaging through books stored in my closet to get organized with other like books/themes in a small book shelf in my bedroom. Holy Spirit says to take the 3 notebooks that were the same and pull them out. I sat in a chair in my bedroom and noticed 2 had nothing in them and I threw them away. The third one had notes in it from the year 2007. Beginning with March, 2007 and going through to July, 2007. This must have been the notebook I would take with me to church to write notes while Pastor Kayatin was preaching. Guess what? Also included in this notebook were notes in regard to our church setting up the deliverance ministry. I found myself to be like a traffic director in this set up of ministry. I was not in charge by any means. I was used as a connector piece to get the players connected to bring forth this freedom ministry. You are saying to yourself huh, what does that mean? I was already operating in deliverance ministry in which I served/volunteered on a ministry team at a church in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I volunteered and would minister when they had their monthly deliverance sessions. This is where I actually went through with my annual deliverance myself that was ministered to me. That was a requirement if you were on the deliverance ministry team.
I do recall this one, it may have been a Thursday night service when Pastor asked if there was anyone interested in being a part of the deliverance team. I have in this notebook the names and phone numbers of those that were interested. To be called when we would be trained. According to the notes in this notebook it looked like the training was scheduled for June 19 & 20th of 2007. I already had 2 pages folded in this notebook in regard to deliverance ministry related notes. It appears according to my notes my deliverance session was for June 19th. Part of this training weekend was the deliverance ministers were also to go through a deliverance themselves. I was ever so blessed to see this come to fruition in church. Since I was already operating in deliverance ministry outside the church I was also used to conduct one on one deliverance on others during this weekend of training. If my memory serves me correctly the trainees also were able to step out in hands on activation in doing ministry. The outside Pastor brought their team of deliverance ministers to assist in the training this weekend. I knew them because I ministered with them at their church.We were also under the training direction of Dr.'s Paul & Clair Hollis of Warfare Plus Ministry that came in from Tampa, FL. See how Holy Spirit orchestrates events in your life. When you least expect it, you are volunteering to help another church and are faithful in that. One day it turns around and a door is opened up for them to now come and bless the congregation you attend/serve. They announced it at church and people signed up for deliverance ministry. That was a highlight in my life, a dream come true that was fulfilled.
So tucked away amongst all my notes I stumble upon one, only one, that is word of the Lord given to me attached with scripture verses too. So you can follow a time line, this was 2007. I did not start blog posting until 2009. When I got up this morning I had a 2 part dream just before I woke. I am not to write about it but brew some coffee and share the word I was given in 2007.. Interesting enough I am looking at the coffee choices to brew and do you know what one Holy Spirit says to brew? This is not Fall season where I live it is Spring and He has me brew Joe's Harvest Pumpkin Spice. Do you think God has the harvest on His mind?

The scripture verse that went with this writing is Revelation 6:9-11. Let's use the Passion Translation if I may:

"When the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, I saw gathered under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because they had the testimony of the Lamb. They cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Sovereign Lord, holy and dependable, how long before you judge those who live on the earth and vindicate our blood to them?" Each one was given a glistening white robe. And they were told to rest a little longer, until the full number was fulfilled of both their fellow servants and brothers and sisters who were going to be killed just as they had been."

Followed by the words I received along with what I was shown as I wrote in this notebook:

"I saw many hands lifted upward as though they were reaching-they were in white-they were reaching up-they are the people that you read about that ask when will those be dealt with of those that killed these that died for the Gospel. They look upward with anticipation for My coming & they're (see I found a possible typo in my written word do you think it should be the word "their") final deliverance. Go forth in the deliverance ministry-get My people set free on earth-time is short & near-go get them-set them free in My name & power. It is not just for Lorain, Ohio take it to the nations - for that is where I call you & send you forth."

I am also to include in this writing the last page of notes I took in this particular notebook @ CNC 7/19/2007 Thursday Night church service:

"Hebrews 11: refer to it as the hall of faith chapter. With the race of faith-you have to have faith to be in the race. It takes words of faith to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. Everyone heard in Jericho the word-only 1 heard it & believed it. To hear the word and doubt will result in fear. To hear the word & believe will result in faith. Faith is not faith until works are added to the faith. Believing God is a "work." Mountains will not move unless they "hear" the word of the Lord. Sarah the 1st woman mentioned in this chapter. God is pleased with people that operate in faith. Rahab hung the scarlet cord on the outside of the window-get bold for God-don't keep your faith & boldness inside the church take it outside of the church."

I also remember notating in one of my bibles in the margin space by this chapter 10/5/13 one of my favorite chapters in the bible. Faith is mentioned many times. I have a check mark by each time the word faith is in this chapter. I counted them up and it appears 28 times in one chapter. I think we should probably pay attention to that what do you think?

Good preaching Pastor, good note taking I would say. I was taking notes in 2007 to bring forth 4/20/2020. Amen.

PBS What Is Going On? You Used To Show Family Friendly Programs. Why Do You Have To Show Programs That Could Be Good If You Left Out "Smut" Scenes?

You know I do enjoy watching programming on PBS, public broadcasting television channel. So they sent me a link to watch a new Masterpiece series entitled, "World On Fire." It is a historical type of show/drama and it could be really good except...why do you have to bring smut scenes into a potentially good series? I am talking about a white male and a black male that are obviously gay. I do not care to watch a program and have to close my eyes to avoid seeing smut scenes of men kissing each other. Also alluding to the fact that they are in bed together. I will no longer watch that program. I do not have statistics on this but I am pretty sure main stream, majority America does not want to see this or care to see this sort of programming on a public broadcasting channel. Take this sort of smut to a pay for type of programming channel. Better yet why is anything like this even allowed to be viewed at all. What happened to the days of wholesome television viewing programs? Maybe they need to be breathed life into and created.
Liberals do not push your agenda or your ideas on strong Christians that live their lives not of the world ways but the bible ways. Christians rise up and take a stand. Do not be passive but bring forth great programming. One step better, take it to public broadcasting channels and force/compel them to show programming that is wholesome and family friendly with values and not garbage values. I am passionate about this because it seems like everyone else in the world gets to have their programming on PBS what about Christians? Put those type of shows on your channel and just maybe you will get support not just in viewers but in financial support also.
You may not agree with my thoughts but I was raised with morals in my lifetime. What is happening to the world. What is wrong is now the new right/acceptable thing. What is RIGHT is now frowned upon as not being politically or socially correct. That garbage thinking has to go out the window. Right, biblical thinking must be resurrected.
There are only 2 choices at the end of your life. When you take your last breath you will either be living in heaven or hell for all eternity. Eternity is a very long time. That is forever and ever. You really need to think about the choice you choose today while you are still alive. Once that last breath is breathed there is no going back. Take this serious. Sin is sin and there are consequences to sin . Sin can be forgiven if you ask Jesus to forgive your sins. He died on the cross and shed His blood so your sins can be forgiven. If you call upon the name of Jesus and ask forgiveness He will forgive you. He will cleanse you with the blood He shed on the cross to wipe away your sins. Invite Him into your heart and let Him be the Lord of your life. I implore you to not choose hell. I was allowed to hear the screams of those that chose to live in hell years ago. It was so awful that the sound still rings within me. Pain and suffering sound that I never heard before that moment and have not heard that type of pain since that moment. I was in my bedroom praying and it was like the carpeting was rolled back and the floor boards opened up so I could hear this sound. I began to cry very hard in the moment because of the torment in the screams. It was not one person it was a group of people experiencing this hell in hell. They will be there for all eternity in that pain and suffering. There is no going back to make the other choice of heaven. Once you are dead and your life on earth no longer exists there is no going back.
While we are in shelter at home mode around the world take the time to read the bible. You will be reading truth. The truth will set you free. I encourage you this today to choose wisely, what you chose will mark your life. Do you enjoy when I share my journeys/adventures I go on with Holy Spirit? If so, you can have similar ones of your own. Invite Jesus into your heart and Holy Spirit will guide you.
 I am sorry I had to be a bit direct but this rampant sin out there needs to be brought under control. My heart is to see people in heaven for all eternity. Not to wonder when one dies if they will be in heaven or hell.

Did You Ever Enjoy A Comfort Meal @ Cracker Barrel Old Country Store On A Journey? What About A Gift Given Or Bought For Another @ Their Gift Shop? Now Is Your Time To Bless Them Back. I Blessed 3 Holy Spirit Inspired Stores Yesterday 4/18/2020. I Have A Grateful Heart For The 7 Years They Blessed Me When Working For Them. This Testimony Comes Forth From An Item I Purchased There Yesterday.

Yesterday I can describe as a day filled as a grateful heart journey to bless. I knew a few things Holy Spirit showed me at the start of the day. Venture out to go and bless Russell Stover Outlet store, especially when they were not in full operation during a big time of the year for candy sales, Easter. I was purchasing items to bless people with. The way it is working with them now is you need to go to their website and select curbside order and then select the store under that heading to pick up your order. I placed my order and I had a few hours before closing time to retrieve it.
I went to the Cracker Barrel store I used to work at. I ordered a dish from their limited menu selection. I was able to shop in the store while waiting for my meal to be finished. I found a set of adorable rooster themed pot holders. They were 70% off and you did purchase them separate not as a set, you made up your own set. I needed these for I have the square shaped William Sonoma now but that does not allow me to reach into the oven protected. I have also used dish towels as a potholder but if the dish towel is wet at all in some section from water then it goes right through to what you are touching with it as your pot holder. Not good. I was looking at the music cd's and I noticed 25% off  of the $11.99 Disney Mary Poppins Returns Soundtrack (it was the original motion picture sound track). I said no for now and then noticed SOZO Playlists "Top Worship Songs." That was the one for me today @ $11.99 with no discount. I began to listen to it in the car and looked over the songs on the backside of the cd. There were songs with a local connection so that intrigued me more to listen. Eureka, found a song that ministered to me amongst other songs also. I have been listening to it on "repeat" mode in my home currently. "Nothing Else" by Cody Carnes is the song touching my heart. I am on my journey and I feel inside me to go to another Cracker Barrel location on the way back home to purchase more of this very cd. I completed my transaction at Russell Stover's. When you arrive at the store you are to call them and they will complete the transaction and then with a mask on they unlock the door of the store and placed your purchased items in a bag on the ground for you to then retrieve. One suggestion, maybe place a table outside and place the purchased items on the table instead of the cement.
Go to the next Cracker Barrell and they have 2 more cd's of the same and I purchased them along with a 70% off ceramic flower wind chime. I purchased a red color and pink one also. I did not see the Mary Poppin's cd so I did not purchase that. Holy Spirit was already working on me to get that cd. Heading back home I then stop again at the store I used to work at this time to get that cd and see if they had any of the ceramic wind chimes. They did not have the wind chimes, they sold out. Onto my last or 3rd Cracker Barrell Holy Spirit showed me to bless this vey day 4/18/2020. I like the retail manager at this store, she is kind and funny too. Actually, this store is a more convenient location for me where I live. Many times I would say to her now don't tell my manager I was shopping here again and we would chuckle. I found out at the other store the wind chimes came in different colors. I then bought the yellow color version at this store along with a 60% off  bag of popcorn. I know this brand is quality because I sampled it with customers one day when I was working and they were enjoying this brand of popcorn.
You probably do not know this about me but every year I like to get a new Cracker Barrel wind chime. I do miss the generous discount I used to get which allowed me to buy a maybe more expensive wind chime. Please know this about me, I would usually wait until they went on sale so I would get it for the sale price plus my discount. I did pretty good yesterday for the sale price on the wind chimes they reduced to $3.00 each. I am not just sold on the price point. I also listen for the sound that comes forth from the wind chime. I do not care it was $1.00, if the sound pitch does not move me when I hear it I do not get it.
I am asking you today or this week sometime to go to a local Cracker Barrel and order a breakfast or meal for pick up and then shop in the retail store while waiting for your order. You do not have to worry about massive amounts of people or more guests than the safety guidelines gathering in the store. You may be the only person at times in the gift shop. Enjoy shopping without the crowds of people you may normally have to deal with there, not in the equation in the times in which we are in right now presently. Let me share with you that the 2nd song of the children singing is the one that touched this mother's heart, meaning me that is.

37 Communion Sets, That Seems To Be The Number For Me When It Comes To Daily Communion. Did You Know You Can Also Get Gluten Free Communion Sets Too?

I had my last daily communion yesterday 4/18/2020. Holy Spirit had me look @ a calendar and count the number of days until Pentecost. I did and it was 37 days. Something is up with this number 37. Remember the last time I purchased communion sets the number I bought was 37. Let me do a little research into this number 37 ok. Remember what is here today needs to be personified twice since it was used 2 times in this manner of the number 37 and communion connection also.

"A to Z Dream Symbology Dictionary" by Dr. Barbie Breathitt states: "first-born; my Beloved Son; prophets." in the Hebrew Alphabet & Numbers section of the same book this is what you will find:
"Lamed 30: Tallest letter of the alpha-beit shaped like a shepherd's staff so it speaks of taking control of a negative situation to bring deliverance by speaking God's word with authority. God's throne of Glory; teaching and purpose; quality of man's highest endowment; Christ's ascension back into heaven; Ox goad; discipline and chastening of the Lord."
"Zayin 7: Spirit; sustenance and struggle; center of peace (six directions of east, west, north south, up, down) plus the individual focal point; weapon of self defense under trying times; symbolic of a weapon of self defense under trying times; symbolic of a weapon to cut off the enemy Jael drove a tent peg in the temple of Sisera Jg 5:24-27; mental deliverance; sound mind."

James W. and Michal Ann Goll's book, "Dream Language" references it like this : "THIRTY-SEVEN - The Word of God."

I must share this with you all right now. As I am composing this I smell the sweet fragrance of flowers in the air surrounding me. Presence of God, yes it is. Thank you Holy Spirit I must be on the right trail we are trudging on in this moment in time, continue on with me Amen.

Wow, right now the sun is peaking through with a patch of blue sky in an otherwise cloudy sky. I am listening Lord speak to me.

"The Complete Guide To Dream Interpretation" by Marsha Trimble Dunstan lists it like this:
"30: to begin ministry (Genesis 41:46;Numbers 4:3;Luke 3:23);
return on an investment; harvest (see Matthew 13:8-32);
price paid for a slave gored by an ox (see Exodus 21:32);
time of mourning (see Numbers 20:29; Deuteronomy 34:8);
the mighty ones (see 1 Chronicles 11:15);
release; captive (see Jeremiah 38:10);
betrayal (see Matthew 26:15; 27:3-9)."
Same book, 7:
"perfection and completion; divine fullness ( see Genesis 2:2-3; 4:15; Leviticus 8:33; 23:6-8; Numbers 12:14-15; 1 Samuel 6:1; 10:8; 2 Samuel 12:18; 1 Kings 6:38; 2 Kings 8:1; Nehemiah 8:1 18; Ezekiel 45:21; Zechariah 4:2; Revelation 1:4; 4:5; 11:15-19; 15:1);
of God (see revelation 4:2-6);
good; victory ( see Joshua 6:4; Proverbs 24:16; Jeremiah 34:14; Hebrews 11:30);

Time to pause briefly now, as I was typing Joshua 6:4 the sun came out again for a brief moment so I need to look it up in my bible right now. This is what it states in my bible Joshua 6:4 "Seven priests will carry rams' horns ahead of the ark. But on the seventh day you must march around the city seven times while the priests blow their horns." Wow just as I was finishing typing the verse the sun peaked out for a brief moment. Yes, pay attention to this scripture verse ok. Back to the rest of the explanation in the book I am working out of now by Marsha Trimble Dunstan.

"covenant sign [Sabbath day] (see Exodus 31:13,17);
rest (see Exodus 20:11; Leviticus 23:3; Hebrews 4:4);
week (see Daniel 9:24-26);
a week of years, e.g., seven years (see Daniel 9:24-27);
cancellation of debts (see Deuteronomy 31:10);
to receive payback sevenfold for injury/theft you have endured (see Proverbs 6:30-31)."

I see how this is working today Holy Spirit. On a cloudy day when a shard of sun pops through while I am composing this that means to pay attention to what I am writing or what I just wrote. I get it, lets proceed.

"Understanding The Dreams You Dream" by Ira Milligan we will have to break it down in another manner. Let's look @ 10 but we will have to magnify it 3 times since there is no 30 explanation in this book.
"TEN - Measure (for purpose of accepting or rejecting that which is measured) Try or trial; test, or to be tested; temptation. 'Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten day...' (Revelation 2:10). Thou art weighed in the balances [tried], and art found wanting [rejected] (Daniel 5:27)."
"SEVEN - Complete: All; finished; rest. 'Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all His work which God created and made (Genesis 2:1, 3)."

I have one more but I am learning something today as I type from other author's books. I am not too old to learn something new are you? I have always typed something like this example (finished.) and would put the close of the sentence/thought within the parenthesis. I am seeing to finish the sentence if it ends in a parenthesis with the period, question mark, exclamation mark or anything like that on the outside of the parenthesis, like this (finished). I learned something new today that I will incorporate and take along with me on my journey. How come none of you brought this to my attention and I had to discover it on my own?

One last book to peer into to help us with the number 37. "The Divinity Code To Understanding Your Dreams And Visions" by Adam F. Thompson & Adrian Beale.
"Thirty: (1) right timing/moment to reign or minister; (2) 3 x 10 = 30 as such it carries the meaning of perfection or fullness [3] of Divine order [10] which marks the right moment.
 (1-2) Gen. 41:46; 2 Sam. 5:4; Luke 3:23.

Ok we need to pay attention to this one too, the sun just popped out in the sky illuminating this section. That is (2) rest. This one too (4) blessed. This one also (6) To swear an oath.

"Seven: (1) Divine perfection; (2) Rest; (3) Spiritual completion; (4) Blessed; (5) Full/satisfied/have enough of; (6) To swear an oath; (7) Seven items may = seven days or years.
(1) Gen. 2:2 (God rested because creation was full, complete, good, and perfect); Ps. 12:6; (2) Gen. 2:2; Ruth 3:15-18; (3) Rev. 1:4; 3:1; (4) Gen. 2:3; (5) The Hebrew for seven is shevah, from the root savah, which means 'full/satisfied/have enough of'; (6) Gen. 21:29-31; (7) Gen. 41:26; Dan. 4:16; Josh 6:4."

I learned something new today through researching books published by others, to correct an error I have made. I am most thankful they put the time, effort and studying into their books to bring forth amazing revelation. Thank you. Oh my, this was a challenge for me today to present this blog entry to you. So much attention to detail more so then others I write. I do believe I was able to compose this today 4/19/202 because I went on a journey with Holy Spirit yesterday. Away from the city lights/noises 4/18/2020. I will share with you about that adventure after breakfast ok.

I Just Watched Again The James Goll Video With His Daughter. Would You Like To Know The Boldness In Me That Came Forth?

Remember when I was sitting in my living room early one morning and I saw a very large python/snake sitting in front of a chair? I believe it was on Easter Sunday. I did deliverance ministry with Holy Spirit help and got rid of it. I then anointed the area of the floor with the anointing oil and made the sign of the cross 3 times on that area of the floor. The oil represented the blood of Jesus. I left this part out of the story. Holy Spirit was nudging me to then go and lay prostrate in the very area of the floor where that python/snake was at. I just did not have the gumption then to do that. I was still processing what was there a bit before we got rid of it. Just the thought of laying with my face down on the territory was a bit too much for me to handle at the moment. He nudged me more than once and I declined. Yes, I declined.
Well, after re-watching the video again just a few minutes ago. Doesn't Holy Spirit ask me if I am ready to lay prostrate once again in the same area of the floor. I said ok only after I asked Him if I could anoint myself with the oil first. He is such a gentleman of course He said to me. I anointed my forehead, heart and my hands. Are you ready, here I go and so I did. I placed my very head face down into the carpeted area in which there was that creature laying there less than 1 week ago. I was fine and I consecrated that area again. I found myself saying words of consecration and claiming back the territory. I am fine, I really am. What was I so afraid or apprehensive about a few days ago. Probably the fear of the unknown. Well with this prophetic act this night the fear is gone and it is no longer known as unknown because I championed it with Holy Spirit right along beside me. May I encourage you to be not afraid but go head strong and tackle the fear and release will come into your life and territory.
Task accomplished, a few days late but nevertheless it is finished. Amen.
Wow adding more to this now. just listened to the song again by Simon & Garfunkel. I brought out the rain stick and found myself in the crescendo portion near the end of the song positioning the rain stick above my head and playing it for the rain refreshing sound to fall upon me.

The Disney Sing A Long Program On TV Is Most Enjoyable, Are You Watching? 2 Music Videos To Listen To Also.

What a day today. I dressed as if I was going into work today, I wore one of my maxi dresses all day long with my over the knee suede burgundy colored boots. All dressed up and no where to go but ready if I had to. There was a time today that I thought I would have to go into work because of connection issues earlier today. It was a most kind and knowledgeable technician that was able to find the problem, fix it and connect me to the system today. I do not even know this person's name and how I would love to thank them. God used this very person in my life this very day to assist me. Holy Spirit you know who this person is, bless them in a mighty way.
I watched a video in which James Goll and his daughter were definitely flowing in Holy Spirit in a strong way. Great word and then 2 songs were brought up. Let's have a listen and may they sing to your heart. The one song was by Simon & Garfunkel. I know I told you of the time when the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame opened in Cleveland, Ohio. It was not on the opening day or anything like that. Our family was in town so we went to go experience it. I am not a rock n roll fan so I went through it and then waited in the lobby area for the rest of the family to finish the tour. I believe I was with my children there waiting and who walks in Garfunkel. I guess he wanted privacy and would not sign an autograph for the children.
Michael Bublé is singing right now on the Disney special I am watching now "the dream that you wish will come true." Is the last verse he just sang. "Your rainbow will come smiling through" another verse sung. Now this is the kind of tv programing they should produce more of.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Grocery Stores, Did You Ever Consider Setting Shopping Hours For Those That Are Working As An Essential Employee In That Category? Just A Thought...

I am considered an essential employee where I work. I even have an official letter stating this in the event I would be questioned if it ever came to a Shelter in Place mode. What I do find frustrating at times is when a person is still working their full-time job and they get off of work there tends to be items not available on the shelves when they shop. Let me give you an example if I may. I saw today the weekly ad for a local grocery store. I was planning on making baked Italian sausage with green peppers and mushrooms. I already had the sausage. I just needed to get the brand I really do like, Bertolli Vineyard Marinara with Merlot Wine to bake them in. I also needed fresh mushrooms and a green pepper. How do I make this, easy. I poke holes in the sausage so the juice bakes out and flavors the dish. I did sauté fresh mushrooms I cleaned and sliced and green pepper strips in a little bit of oil and near the end I had just a twinge left of white cooking wine I added to it. I placed the sausage and the sautéed vegetables in a baking dish and baked them in the oven on 400 degrees until they browned. You then pour some of the sauce over them and bake them until done. I also prepared a little bit of angel hair pasta to be the base of this meal. Good thing I stopped at Bargain Hunt I was able to get some sauce there, not Bertolli but Classico Organic Roasted Garlic (the hidden blessing was it was only $2.00.) I had to fix up the taste of that sauce a bit with seasoning and parmesan cheese to doctor it up. I made enough for 2 meals so no cooking tomorrow.
Back to the story main focus. I went specifically to this store to purchase a jar of the sauce it was on sale 2/$4.00. I figured I could also pick up the other 2 items at the same time. Guess what? The advertised item was bare on the shelves and just the sale signs were there. Really? People that are not working at this time can you please save a little bit of stuff for those that have hours they have to work and cannot be shopping all day long in grocery stores. I have been there before when I worked for an organization in which they would furlough us and we would be called back to work. I know what it is like having to go at the time and stand in line at the agency to apply for your unemployment. I know the feeling of applying for food stamps and being incredibly grateful for even the slight amount of monthly allotment given to me. I never qualified for receiving a cash stipend of any sort. I learned a great lesson in being humble. I really did not like having to go to local grocery stores where they knew me and then pay with the food stamp debit type of card. If I may be honest with you I would go to stores not near me and I would wait for the moment of opportunity when there weren't lots of people in the check out line to go through and pay with the card given to me. I learned to get over it and look at it as a temporary blessing bestowed upon me if I chose to apply and accept it. I even had a balance left on my card when they would call me back from furlough and I asked what do I do with it? The worker was most kind and said use it up that it was already approved so use it. I did.
I understand having time on your hands and wanting to get out of the house to go shopping. I get it but please leave some items for us that cannot shop during the daytime hours and have to rely on very early morning or after work hours or on the weekend. That is why I am not too pleased with Publix changing their opening store hours to 8:00AM. Not hours conducive to people working full-time (at least some of us that are already at work.) can you please go back to opening hour of at least 7:00AM?
Teleworking is great when it works. When the system stops and you cannot get back into it do you know what I am required to do? Try to fix it within an hour and contact your boss during that hour with updates. If it does not work then I have to drive into the office and finish my work day. Sometimes I do not mind it because I can actually get paperwork done that cannot be completed at home. So many are working in this capacity that I think it overloads and you can tell when others are coming into the system. I learned this early on to get ready in the morning as if I was going to work in the event I had to actually go to my work location. On the days when it runs smoothly it is so nice @ home. I think I drink more water then when I am at my work location. I have a nice sized patio window that lets the light in and it is really nice on nice days to open up the patio door and hear the birds chirp and sing off and on. I think I have to change my hummingbird nectar this weekend. I have not seen any hummingbirds yet so I need to make sure the nectar is fresh for my little friends when they do return. I wonder if they will miss me when I move. They will probably find another feeder with nectar in it for them to enjoy. What is really nice about teleworking is if I feel like laying down on the couch during my lunch I do, I rest and then refreshed when back to work. Sometimes I listen to the radio or music and I actually found it quite refreshing one morning to just pray in tongues (internally that is) while I worked.
We all have a part to play in this season of time in which we are living in. Take the time to bless others and not just yourself ok. I went out and purchased and brought in snacks for our snack drawer at work. It was looking petty lean the last time I checked on it. I also blessed a supervisor with a package of King Arthur Chocolate Chip cookie mix for their children to make as a project while home from school. I bought this before the safer at home stuff going on because I was supposed to attend a ministry weekend that was re-scheduled and then re-scheduled again for a much later date due to this virus stuff. I do not know if Holy Spirit will take me there for that particular weekend. My plan originally was Holy Spirit wanted me to bake the chocolate chip cookies for the pastors children to enjoy. What child does not like chocolate chip cookies? So, see in all of this there was purpose for me buying that cookie mix many weeks ago. Children will enjoy it just not the children I thought it was intended for. Do not get frustrated with the changed plans of God for there really is purpose in it and just go with the flow. Yes, you may be inconvenienced a bit but be thankful for the clerk when you inquire about hand sanitizer in the store. You are already in line checking out and they say they have some. They so graciously go and get the limited amount of two for you so you can then finish checking out. Hats off to Publix for that happened to me recently.
Do you know what I have found interesting? I have acquired and actually crave eating apples. I tend to like apples in the Fall or I make applesauce with them. Not now, I enjoy the crisp bite into an apple and savor the taste. I am also enjoying making a salad with dinner (I did this all the time when the children were at home with me), not a fancy one either. Romaine lettuce, Campari tomatoes, sweet onion sliced, avocado (sometimes I will slice fresh carrots in it too) and my homemade vinegar/oil dressing. Oh how could I forget the parmesan cheese I sprinkle on top. Do not ask me how I make it because I guesstimate how much garlic salt, pepper, vinegar and oil. I am running low on red wine vinegar and I had to use apple cider vinegar tonight. I have been making myself eat bananas too. I actually sliced some banana with fresh sliced strawberries a couple of times this week.

This Is Beautiful, My Cousins In Croatia Sent This Hallelujah Video To Us For Easter.

It is sung in English, I do not know what the Croatian written words mean. I do not speak Croatian, maybe you do and you will translate them as you view this.

Watching Resurrection Sunday Live Service With My Ohio Church Family.

This is Pastor Troy. You are reading this very blog today because this man of God encouraged me to write via a blog years ago. Thank you Pastor Troy for the many, too numerous to count blessings that came into my very life when I began to write/share with others.

Way early this morning around 5:00AM I woke up and while sitting in my living room my eyes were drawn to a section of the floor in front of a chair. I do not see like others may literally see in the spirit realm. I sense see if that makes sense. I was able to sense a very large python laying there. Oh it was deliverance time on Resurrection Sunday. Holy Spirit I beckoned to hand feed me the direction and words to deal with this one and get rid of it. We did this together. I made breakfast and I was sitting in the living room Holy Spirit guides me to now consecrate that very space in the room. Take back what the enemy tried to steal. I got some of my Dalton, GA anointing oil & placed it upon my finger and went to that very spot representing the blood of Jesus and anointed the carpeting with 3 sign of the cross movements. I said in the name of The Father, The Son & Holy Spirit.
The beginning of my deliverance ministry all started at this very church.
Let me share something really sweet that happened to me yesterday. I delivered one of the Easter lily plants to my neighbor. I went to the store, Sprouts market to get a few things and to the post office to get stamps and check on a package delivery and to but gasoline for my car. When I arrived back home there was an envelope by my door. I opened it up and it was from my neighbor with a sweet note and they also blessed me with 2 $10.00 bills. I told you to trust God and do not look for anything in return when He guides you to bless others. When you least expect it, there is the blessing waiting just for you. Praise God. I think I know just what to do now. Write a thank you note and how about me tucking inside it a $2.00 bill, does that sound good to, you?
Oh one more thing. I stumbled upon this the other day while @ Sprouts Market. There is a chocolate milk they sell that is great as a coffee creamer too when I make my Michigan Cherry decaf coffee. It is also good if you want a little sweet treat, heat some up in a mug and enjoy it like it is hot chocolate. It is Shamrock Farms Chocolate Whole Milk. Says on the bottle it was established in 1922. Do you know how I was drawn to even looking at it to begin with? The pretty green and brown colors on the milk container.

"Live right, love everyone, pray hard." Those are the words Pastor Kayatin always said and they are continued to be said even today with the new generation leading the church family.

How Low Will It Go & Other Treasure Thoughts Too. Blessed Resurrection Sunday To You.

I am going to touch a bit of this and that with this blog today ok. How low will they go? That is my question about the gasoline prices were I reside. I shared with you all the picture where the gas prices were at years ago. I drove past an abandoned gas station and had to take a picture of the sign because gas was much higher back then. Never did I dream back then that the prices would be near that again in current reality time. Amazing. I took just yesterday the picture of gas prices at 2 gas stations, literally pennies away from the picture of yesteryear. Wouldn't that be nice if they reached an all time low as we are coming out of this coronavirus hibernation to allow families to get in their vehicles and take vacations. The old fashioned road trips I am talking about. You know, stopping at places along the way to enjoy things you may not have enjoyed in a busier time in your life. Taking in the scenery. Stopping at local family owned restaurants to enjoy a family meal with all of you together on your family vacation. Try staying at Airbnb locations too to enhance your vacation. Not the typical hotels but staying in an Inn or family owned vacation rental. What about camping in an rv? I am not a camping in a tent type of person per say but a lodge would be lovely. Or even a nice motor vehicle home as an option. You do not have to own these type of vehicles I think you can rent them too. Gas will be low in price so there will be extra money to fill up these larger travelling homes per say. How about a tranquil time in a country setting or wooded area meeting with Jesus in a cabin or log type of home? What if it is located near a stream or babbling brook. Doesn't that sound nice? Dream and do not let go of your dreams for dream deep for your dreams precede the goal.
I received a beautiful Easter card from my mother. Do you know what caught my attention way before I ever opened the card? The postage stamp that coordinated with the envelope. It caused me to go on a mission in search of beautiful USPS postage stamps. I searched online first then went to my local post office to purchase what I found to be the prettiest of the choices given to me. One day I had a not so good experience with the USPS customer service person I spoke with. You had to wait about an hour for a call back given to you. I firmly believe in  track and confirming of packages delivery status. When I checked on a certain package because an unfamiliar update message of the delivery status showed I called for an explanation. This person was polite but not very helpful with giving me an answer other than what I already knew by checking online myself. I told them I would go to my local post office (where I get great, exceptional customer service) and have them check on the status. I then inquired if there were any nice and new floral postage stamps for sale now. This person could not even answer me other than I had to go to the website to view or order them. I questioned this person and said you cannot do this you work for the USPS. Now that I am thinking about this I just wonder if that person was actually at a location on site of the USPS or maybe they are contracted out work? They did tell me they work for the USPS. Great customer service is knowing your product line. To entice the customer to want to purchase products. I shared in the beginning of the conversation with this person how the USPS needs to lower their prices instead of keep increasing them because people will start to stop using them. I told them I continue to use the USPS and I search out nice postage stamps because I like them to coordinate with what I am sending to someone. I found the stamps at my local post office and purchased them. See, one item caught my attention and how nicely it coordinated with the envelope that it stirred inside of me to go and purchase postage stamps.
I received a card in the mail from my son. Inside the card were words that made me laugh and be grateful for the children God blessed me and my former husband with. They are really good kids (well grown adults now.) They are kind, loving, smart, talented, thoughtful and guess what? I get to enjoy this love no matter how many miles may be between us. In the picture my son was pre-school age and it was his birthday. See the blanket wrapped around him, that was his favorite throw it was a Crayola crayons themed item. He shared with me when we talked how the polo he was wearing was his favorite polo shirt. He wore that when he attended pre-school and he remembered taking his computer classes back then in pre-school that was. In his card he mentioned maybe we can celebrate his (31st, May 4th) birthday after the pandemic with ice cream cake and a dance the kids used to dance to when my father would sing a silly song. It made no sense the words but the tune caused them to dance to it.  He said the picture also reminded him when he cut his sister's Jasmine dolls hair. I told him a few phone calls ago he should look for one of those dolls and give it to her now that he is grown up. See, back when this happened my husband and I went out and purchased another doll and let our daughter know it was from her brother. She is not stupid by any means and quick witted too, her response back then was he didn't pay for the doll we did. See why it would be kind of funny now if he spent his own money and bought one for her? Would you like to know the answer to the riddle on the front of the card? Why did the easter egg hide? He was a little chicken! In the inside of the card it showed a little chick hatching from an egg. Both of my children were truly blessed with a great sense of humor. I am more of the serious natured of the two parents. I have to give this one to my former husband, he has the quick wit/sense of humor.
We are thinking of planning a delayed Easter celebration possibly the 4th of July. Like a mini family reunion. Sounds sweet to me.
One more update about my family sharing and making care packages for people on Easter. My son was one of those recipients, yes he was. He went there and kept the distances they tell you to keep and visited with my sister and brother-in-law on the back porch while my mom was in the dining room with the door open to also be a part of it. Boy oh boy did he go home with a great care package. Isn't that what family is all about? Bless those that bless you and are a blessing in your very life. Nana will be visited by her grandchildren from all around via face time I think today. The kids are coordinating that adventure. I do not think I have that capability to participate but knowing they are makes my heart sing and sing loudly at that.
The other card was from my nephew and his family.
