When Certain Prophets Speak I Listen. James Goll Is @ The Top Of My List

I was up early today. I put apricot preserves on 1 pancake & blackberry jam on the other. I had a cup of cinnamon/mocha coffee too. It was a little after 6:30AM that I sat on my patio and enjoyed my breakfast and coffee. As I was sitting there the hummingbird was active. Twice it flew within a few inches of me & I said good morning to it as it looked directly at me. I also said "Jesus" to it. I observed the pattern of this hummingbird this morning. It fed on the nectar a bunch then it flew to the Crepe Myrtle tree & sat on a branch in the tree stationary-it did not stay in flight motion per say-it looked like when a bird cleans itself. Then it came back for more nectar.

I have not seen the hummingbirds all Summer but once & the last few days I saw not 1 but 2 @ 1 time. They can be pretty territorial & aggressive with another hummingbird enjoying a drink of nectar. It swoops in and chases the feeding bird away from the nectar.

When I woke today I noticed James Goll had a God dream & I went and read the scripture verse he saw himself reading in the dream Isaiah 60:1-3. When I did my reading the bible through a few years ago I read that scripture on 8/22. I underlined several verses in that chapter when I previously read it. From there Holy Spirit enlightens me to search out the scripture I read on 8/29 & this is what I read then, Jeremiah 1. I have several verses also underlined. Then I jumped to 9/4 because that will be my first born child's birthday. My Katie will turn 35 years old that day. She was over 2 weeks overdue past my due date. If I did not go into labor by Labor Day I was scheduled to come in to be induced. Since she was that much past my due date I remember that last week I had to lay down & be still so many times during the day & count the # of times I felt her move inside me & track it and write it down and report the findings.

Inducing me did nothing other than "break the water" at that point I was tired. I went in the hospital @ 6:00AM & did not sleep through the night so when they said so many hours within a certain time frame passed & I had to go C-section route. I was kind of relieved even though that meant surgery with me being awake. I remember the doctor saying he was about to start & I wanted to make sure I was numb enough so I could not feel the pain. Apparently he tested me with a sharp instrument & I felt no pain & I felt ok to go ahead & deliver my sweet baby girl. I will share with you … I planned & participated in all the birthing classes & I felt cheated to not deliver in a natural sense that is. Also I went through a tiring process to deliver her & did not even get to hold her 1st my husband was in the delivery & he got to hold  her.

The Dr. explained to me that my body just did not kick into labor for some reason & if I was born prior to modern medicine & C-sections more than likely I & my child would have died in my situation.  I do not go into labor for some reason. Even with the birth of our son 4 years later we planned on natural birth with back up C-section scheduled if need be. C-section #2 but this time I did not have to go in to be induced with Pitocin. 2nd C-section was much easier because I was rested & I went in 5/4 early in the morning for my scheduled C-section.

I see a pattern here. Labor & Rest. There comes a time for busyness & labor but it is most important to couple that labor with rest. Even the hummingbird labors in the respect of it's intake of nectar for it's upcoming long journey. Even while it is consuming nectar it still goes to the crepe myrtle tree to rest a bit. Then it comes forth again to partake in more nectar.

Lesson learned: partake actively in the sweet nectar of the word of God along with partnering with Him in resting in Him. It is that combination that brings forth joy, peace, grace, love, miracles & above all THE LOVE OF GOD.

What A Great Way To Start My Day Today: Jennifer Martin with Steve Shultz on Elijah Streams TV: 'The Waves of God Are Here! The Rise of His Dark Horse Prophets!'

Jennifer Martin with Steve Shultz on Elijah Streams TV: 'The Waves of God Are Here! The Rise of His Dark Horse Prophets!'

Actually I was up @ 4:00AM. Listened to a video a ministry I am connected to sent me while I was ironing clothes this early morning. I then checked Elijah List for current words spoken and found this video. So very much so blessed me while getting ready for work today. Blessings of abundance to each ministry that fed into my life today AMEN.

It Was 11:40AM & I Was Listening To Daystar Live Today 8/17/2020. I Look Up And Outside My Patio Door I See A Hummingbird That Came To Visit Me.

 I only saw a hummingbird once this season until today. I think it was an early birthday gift to me from My Jesus. I had to look and then look again to make sure it was a hummingbird and not a little finch bird. It was a hummingbird and thank God I still had blossoms on the honeysuckle plant for it to enjoy the nectar. I already packed away my hummingbird feeders.

I think I may have figured out how to turn a video into an mp4 so I can share on the blog. I converted a little bit more of worship from Summerfest for Jesus. The video is not a good quality but listen to the words ok. Yes, singing at church and music filling the atmosphere of the neighborhood, that is such a God thing do you agree?

After work today I felt led to go to Mt. Juliet to see if they had a certain color throw rug I needed 1 more of. They did not have it and so I felt led to go to Bargain Hunt. I found something much better waiting for me. An area rug that was at a great price point. I also was able to get 20% off of the price since it is my birthday tomorrow.  It will compliment my sofa and love seat.

On my lunch hour I packed up my fine china and I also have a luncheon set for 12 that is made in Japan. My Mikasa service is for 16. I took a photo to show you a little bit of what I packed up today. I did not pull out all the serving pieces you get the picture right? I know how to set a table with china and I even have a couple of etiquette books that I reference when needed in regard to setting a formal table, a buffet set up etc. I promise myself that I am setting a table at my new location, it is time to celebrate and have people over.

I did take a picture of the hummingbird I circled it so you could see where it was. Not the best picture but I think I was a bit surprised to even see a hummingbird to begin with. Of all the blessings today I would have to say the one that was tops for me was seeing the hummingbird. Either it was here to say hello and happy birthday or it came to say goodbye to me. I just know there will be hummingbirds for me in my new location. How do I know that? I take good care of the birds that come to visit me at my residence. That means all the birds I feed, not just hummingbirds.





Summerfest for Jesus Chris McClarney




Who Said You Can't Sing @ Church? That Is A Bunch Of Garbage Dr. Fauci Is Peddling. Stop It & Step Aside For A Credible Dr. To Lead Us To Freedom Not Bondage.

 

I met a friend Saturday evening at Summerfest for Jesus at an outdoors church service. It was lovely even though the day was quite hot outside and inside too. We did social distancing and sat and enjoyed church worship. preaching and then a worship concert with Kristy Nockles and Chris McClarney. My friend even felt led to walk a bit away to receive prayer and she did. I sat and continued to worship, yes I did.

This church has it so right. Worship outside under the stars and gentle breezes also. I brought my little shaker percussion instruments and used them too. They do not even take up an offering at these church services. This past week they even added a screen for viewing to the hillside were I tend to sit. A mom and Nana & grandson sat in front of us more than the "politically correct" distance we are to keep from others. He would peek out at me and my friend and we would wave, smile and I even played peek and boo too. Such wonderful smiles came from this little toddler boy back to me that it so warmed my heart. Did you know that children can see and sense the love of Jesus? Yes they can and you do not even have to speak words it is shining through you to them and that is what they see, they do not see me per say. Oh did I tell you we had no masks on becasue we were at a distance between each other.

God will have His way in all of this junk they are creating and fabricating to scare the people. Do not fall for these blatant lies of the enemy. His(satan that is) time is near, and short and he knows what his final demise is for all eternity. Christians rise up and take your authority, this is no time to run around in fear but run with the wind of Holy Spirit and the God given authority He gave to you. Do not back down but advance in the kingdom of God.

I spent the day on Saturday packing and organizing again. I like organization and smooth moves I do. I worked hard and I like to turn up the air conditioning and keep the patio doors open while I am at home. Usually it is comfortable during the day with the ceiling fan on and I turn the air conditioning up to anywhere between 82-88 degrees. It was hot on Saturday and I did sweat while working. I still had to color my hair and take a bubble bath to be ready for church at around 6PM. God was faithful and all was accomplished I tend to cut it to the wire at times and I sure could have used extra time soaking in the tub but I had to get ready for church, oh for Jesus that is. Did you know He is my consultant when I get ready to go somewhere? Holy Spirit shows me exactly what to wear, including makeup colors; my entire outfit; jewelry and even how to style my hair at times. He is with me and walks with me in all aspects of my life. He even shows me which bubble bath scents to use and what coordinating creams to also use. He likes scents and He is creative also. Example: I used lavender mint and eucalyptus for soaking and then I blended together 2 different lotions/body creams as the layering of the scents.

I picked up my mail on the way there and there were 2 beautiful birthday cards for me in the mail. One from  my mother, the other my son. They know me and they were both cards with Christian scripture and sentiments. This touched my heart, in the card my mom sent me. She placed my name not only as the greeting but also before the other section of the card that stated "God not only loves you very much but also has put His hand on you for something special. 1 Thessalonians 1:4 (The Message.)" I turn 62 yeas old on 8/18. Do you think I qualify for any perks with turning 62? If I do I will somehow stumble upon them on my journey.

Last year on my birthday that was when I received the text message asking if I wanted either picture/portrait of our father. Do you know that all pictures and decorations of any sort are removed from my walls and packed away except the portrait of my father, that remains on the wall as a reminder of God's faithful love to me to even get me that portrait. Lets see what He has in store for me Tuesday, on my birthday. You do know my mother shares that she went into false labor 5 times before I was born. The number of grace and I think my middle name means grace as the definition behind the name. I will go into the office for a portion of the day on my birthday. I have stuff locked up at my desk for the snack drawer and I have 2 packages of Luigi's Italian Ice in my freezer to bring in to my co-workers. Who would not like a refreshing, frozen treat on a hot August day. Thank God we have a freezer so it will not melt when I bring them in. See, I can do this now because it is not a really far drive to work. When I move the commute will be about 70 minutes.

I got up yesterday and Holy Spirit says go to the church in Peytonsville and walk first .I did just that. I had a friend at that church I wanted to share the good news I was moving and the testimony that goes with the news about the song I heard being sung to me one day when I woke from a dream, "Take the Last Train to Clarksville." After church I went into Franklin to shop. I went to Pier 1 Imports and found a few scatter type rugs for the bathrooms. I then went to Bargain Hunt and Holy Spirit had me drive the same route home I took last Sunday. As I am driving I am being reminded that 1 week ago I was driving the same road and saying to myself, they have a home, they have a home and a place to live and I do not know where I will be living? I am now driving the same road thanking God for the doors He opened just for me this past week. He hears prayers but He also answers them too. Hang in there He is always on times and faithful. I told you my journey is like walking on the edge of a cliff but in my instance He always keeps me safe and secure in Him and it is a wonderful way to live our life. Always on the cutting edge with expectancy in your heart and open to follow the winds of Holy Spirit. I love it, I love it, I love it.

In Peytonsville I sat on the last row and I know I cannot play the rains stick here anymore so I still sang and Holy Spirit uses my hand gestures as if they are an instrument during worship. I do not need an instrument making sound for me to make sound in worship in the heavenly realm. He hears my worship and I am fine with that. I found it interesting though that the older gentleman that used to be on the platform that played the percussion instruments and the rain stick he also had was no longer there? His instruments were not on the platform and I did not see him or his wife, what's up with that? I spoke with the Pastors wife and assistant pastor and inquired of them if they knew of a church in Clarksville and they did not. I did gently mention it had to be a church that would allow me to play the rain sticks. They said I will find a church and I agreed that God always does for me. I also felt Holy Spirit nudge to seek out why no one sees the vision in this area to rent the Renaissance Festival land and Bonnaroo land and have an outdoor Harvest Worship Festival. Take back the land the enemy used and now redeem it with worship. One responded it was government regulations and I then shared about the Summerfest for Jesus I have been attending that is held outdoors. I even said their church had 11 acres they could have one right there. I tend to get Holy Ghost boldness at times and I even said you have worship connections (meaning there are so many worshipers and groups in the area of Nashville) don't you and they responded yes. Maybe I am just there to plant seeds of thought and it is up to them to run with the seeds if they so do choose to do that. I did say I would come back from Clarksville to attend if they had a Harvest worship festival or if Bonnie Jones was coming to the church to preach.

Lesson learned today, do not fear the enemy but sing, sing and sing loudly to let the rafters of heaven shake and send forth the wind of Holy Spirit in power and in might. With signs and wonders to follow. Amen and Amen to that.

I Have WAY Too Much On My Plate Right Now. WAY TOO MUCH. This Would Be One Of Those Times For The Old Commercial, "Calgon Take Me Away." I Am A Fighter & I Will Get Through This Because Jesus Is Pulling Me Through.

So much is happening at once in my life right now. I am almost there in signing a lease to move further away from the metro area and not closer to it. I will not be able to get assistance from my son for he will be on vacation the time I will be actually moving. I am pro-active and step out in faith I already booked the movers and I have not even seen the place in person yet. Just seen pictures and a video. This move will be sort of a give and take adventure. No garbage disposal, I will have to adjust to that. No linen closet oh my I will adjust again. No outdoor storage once again I will adapt. Those are minor things and I am a pretty flexible person by nature. I will come up with ways to make it work. See, I am moving from a 1 bedroom 1 bath to a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath and no one living above me. One will stretch a bit more to have quietness and not have to listen to the noises of another person living above you and people going up and down stairs in the hallway.

From what I can see so far it is in a nice surrounding neighborhood with walking trails not too far away. The patio has privacy on both sides and it is just a concrete slab but this location faces trees not another unit or someone's garage etc. Now the tough part is trying to get everything packed into 40 containers/boxes I think I will have to go up in the amount for the movers to take. Since I am not moving to the current neighborhood area it was suggested it is better for the movers to bill me not hourly but per items being moved. Oh I am a person of organization and having containers and boxes right now here and there is just not me but I will make it work. It is only me packing up this place and Jesus too. I can do this because I can do all things through Christ Jesus that strengthens me. I have before and I surely will again.

I think I have a lot of clothes what do you think? I at first panicked thinking there is not a lot of closet space and then I realized I will now have 2 bedrooms so I can use the second bedroom as storage for me if needed. I am the one that mainly travels to visit family so having a spare bedroom is not a big deal. I tend to travel there as opposed to them travelling to see me. If so there is a 2nd bathroom and I have a really good sleeper sofa also. I will make this work for I am a problem solver and great at solutions. I really do tend to adapt and make something sort of a silver lining in the cloud if that makes sense.

I went to bed last night after a very happy day yesterday. I woke with a Holy Spirit dream for me and it was confirmed by Holy Spirit also. I was floating on air so to speak when I woke from that dream. I then received a voicemail message from my mom and she shared with me she transferred money to my account to help me with moving expenses and to have some money to set aside for reserve if needed. 2 really big blessings right? A little disappointed in finding out I will have no help on moving day and I was getting that edgy/itchy feeling last night before I went to sleep. I asked Holy Spirit for some scripture comfort and no sooner than me reading this I fell asleep. Today is a new day and I will go and purchase more packing containers and keep on packing. I will take time out of this day to praise the Lord. Not just during the day but in the evening too. The church will have another outside Summerfest with Jesus and tonight they have Kristy Nockles and Chris McClarney. I will be going with a friend of mine that is the plan for now.

Take heed to what is written in my bible margin. This is not a coincidence, President Trump is for the American people and our freedoms we so deeply cherish. Do not let the enemy fool you into thinking socialism is the way this country should go it is not. We are a free people and we will remain a free people. I voted in early voting a few weeks ago I do believe it was the primary election. I love the sticker they gave to you after you voted. It was the 100th anniversary this year of the right for women to vote. Do not take this privilege of voting in an election for granted. Get out there and vote and do not be snickered into that crazy mindset they are trying to feed you to vote via mail. That is so goofy like so many other things the opposition party is trying to get away with. God is watching all of this and enough is enough. Play your part and get out and vote do not stay home in fear just get out and vote. God takes great care of His people ok.

Got to go for now I have lots to accomplish today.

A Successful Journey Last Night. Why? All The Players Responded To The Call. Not All My Journeys Are A Complete Success. Why? Not All Key Players Respond To Holy Spirit Call/Nudge.

I tried calling a dear couple that are friends of mine a couple of times with no answer. I went walking at the park and thought I would try once again after I finished walking as I was in the car cooling off with the air conditioning running. This dear couple is older in age than me. They are friends from Ohio but no longer reside there like I also do not reside there. This is the couple that got married at midnight at the turn of the century going into the 2000's. I remember this oh so well as if I was back there sitting in the church at their wedding. How many weddings are you invited to that start at midnight? The only one I can say I have been invited to like this. They were older in age when they got married to each other. What I loved … there was a song played during the ceremony and they actually danced with each other right on the platform. Not a crazy type of dance but a loving dance with them arm in arm, how romantic to dance before the Lord together as a couple dances together. Let's call it the dance of love. Done in beautiful taste I may add.

Just as we connect on the phone  I see a man walking with their little toddler heading to the parking lot. I think I recognize him from an Ohio church we attended. I tell my friends I think one of the ______ brothers is walking towards me. I put the call on pause and rolled down the car window. I then said excuse me , are you one of the  ______ brothers? He responded yes. I then told him I was talking with Jesse and Terry on the phone. Did he remember them. He responded yes so I put him on the speaker phone to say a few words. What are the odds of me speaking with friends from Ohio and another church member from the same church we all attended is just in front of me? But God, but God. They have the kindest parents and they did well in raising their children. Their father was an elder at the church we attended. He always had such a sweet disposition when I attended church. Such a gentleness about him.

Maybe a year or two ago a similar experience happened at Belmont Church. I saw one of the other brothers and inquired in the lobby area of the church. Sure enough another brother and he took a selfie type of picture and sent it to his parents telling them I said hello. Also at this particular church another Ohio connection. A pastor from an Ohio church is now on staff at this church. I went up to him prior to the service starting and asked if it was ok to play the rain stick. He gave me the thumb up and it was a glorious time of worship. I do long for the days of church gatherings where the saints gather for an event and worship together. Not via a computer but in person worship. There is a special blessing when the people gather to worship Jesus.

Let's now look at the flip side of journeys. What happens if the characters are summoned by Holy Spirit to go here, do this and show up and they choose to not respond? It is no less of a journey for the one that does respond but less of a journey and possible missed journey for those that do not respond. I recently experienced this the other day. I heard Holy Spirit ever so clear to go on this journey. I was to connect with another and it did not happen. I know this was Holy Spirit wooing me. On the journey there I was listening to praise music in the car and as I got closer to the region the Glory shout rose up inside of me in the car and I released it. I cannot explain it but it feels like love personified. I heard, I responded. I went here, there and all the places on the mental list Holy Spirit was nudging me to go to. I missed it but kept going on the journey, did not see who I was suppose to see on this journey. He even gives me 1 last round at this and has me swing around in direction and head to Kroger's. My chores were fulfilled and He was faithful to me on this half journey. You know the coffee I purchased at TJ Maxx? It has no flavor at all let alone Butter Rum. I have the receipt and back it will go to TJ Maxx.

When you are on a journey and it involves other people you really are at the mercy of will the others respond to that same call and then respond to Holy Spirit nudge. If they do not then one can begin to wonder if they heard clearly. In those moments do not give up HOPE and do not doubt what you have been called to ok. Do not let the vision/dream dissipate and go away. Still keep it tucked in your heart and move forward and not retreat backwards. Sometimes that is the struggle to want to let go of that dream. I must have been questioning Holy Spirit that I missed Him in hearing Him to go where I went with no meeting. He redeemed this journey for me. At TJ Maxx the clerk complimented me on my coordinated outfit I was wearing. Including the earrings and my mask all coordinated together. At Kroger's as I was heading out my car a shopper told me the flowers were beautiful. I talked with her and she told me she bought the yellow sunflowers. I encouraged her to go back into the store and also get the colored sunflowers I bought that they would coordinate nice together. I held them up to show her the yellow striping would compliment the yellow sunflowers. She thanked me.

It was the time after the journey that I probably asked Holy Spirit if I missed it. He so graciously set up last nights journey to show me I did not miss it and that last night all the players lined up and we were all in sync. Have I missed it before, probably. Will I miss it in the future, good chance I will miss it here and there. If I do I see that someone else may be relying on me to show up to encourage them or as a confirmation in their life also. Be tender to hearing Holy Spirit beckoning you and then respond ok. It is not all about you per say but possibly another person.

Do You Know Someone That Knows Someone And They Know Someone Else? Great. Shown An Idea Today Driving To & From Franklin.


It was a pleasant type of day today. I went on an early morning appointment. Then I was off to Franklin. On the drive there and coming home I was listening to August Rain, "Show Me the Light." Maybe the title is not quite exact. As I am heading towards the area where the Renaissance type of castle is located I get this thought …  they never had the Renaissance Festival this year and what about renting the outdoor space and have a Harvest Worship Festival. I went to Whole Foods and purchased the items I needed. I inquired while there about the local farm fresh brown eggs. Someone inquired for me and found out that the local farmers are having a hard time getting the containers to put the eggs in to sell them in the store. Inquiring minds want to know so they ask questions. I did buy some fresh eucalyptus also.

Next, to TJ Maxx and I found a flavored coffee "butter rum." I will try it out tomorrow morning to see if it is truly flavored or does the label just say it is. I then felt led to drive past the building where I used to work when I first moved to this state. Then I get this nudge to go full circle and head to the Kroger and pick up a few items. As I am heading there I was so happy to see Tupelo Honey Café was still open for business. I first went there in Chattanooga. On my list was flowers. I walk into the Kroger and see yellow sunflowers. I like really good deals so I searched out the reduced flower section. Nothing there today that I liked. I then went back to the sunflowers and approaching them from a different direction I see the most beautiful sunflowers of a different color: Fall red orange tone with little stripes of yellow in them. I bought them for only $4.00 a bunch. My mind was working, they would be lovely mixed with the eucalyptus.

As I am heading home I go past the Renaissance castle and the thought rises up inside me again, Fall Harvest Worship Event outdoors. I continue heading back home and see a sign to purchase tomatoes. I decide to go a bit further because I knew there was a local farmer that had a vegetable stand on their property. You had to go up a winding type of driveway. I get there and drive up to the top only to find there was nothing there for sale. Maybe they stopped selling produce? So, I turn round and head back to find the tomatoes. Found them and what a pleasant surprise. A little sign posted that the person who grows the tomatoes had won ribbons for them for several years at a local County Fair. I love this local practice, a container is there for you to put the cash into it for the produce you buy. Honor system still in place got to love that.

I was a bit tired when I came home so I laid down and rested for a little bit. Woke up refreshed and packed up my DVD's into a container. I found a Gary Oliver cassette tape and I loved listening to a portion of it. Maybe the rest tomorrow.


Oh Happy Day. Looks Like I Will Be Driving To Franklin Today. Whole Foods Is Setting Aside A Loaf Of Rosemary Sourdough Bread For Me.

 I have to attend to an appointment early this morning around 10:00AM. Then off to Franklin to pick up a loaf of bread they are setting aside for me. I rejoice in little blessings like this along with huge blessings too. A blessing is a blessing is a blessing regardless of the size right. Open up your eyes and you will see blessings abound all around. It is up to you to catch the vision and then capture the blessing and pull it in to your realm. As I am typing this I am listening to a video I captured last night at World Outreach Church. Summerfest for Jesus continues on. Last night Jason Crabb and Natalie Grant. I sat in a lawn chair in the great outdoors and worshipped Jesus. I felt led to bring with me my little shaker instruments to praise Jesus in the outdoors. You know you can charge the atmosphere with worship right. Well, a perfect time to bring the sound of heaven to the earth via a simple little percussion instrument right. The song, not sure of the title but the words are "He will take you through the fire again, just hold on. He never promised the cross would not be heavy. Just hold on our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again."

A lady kept taking pictures to the side of me. I happened to look behind me and this is what I saw. So beautiful. Worship in front of me and God's glorious sunset behind me. I see beauty all around me when I choose to see it do you? I tried several times to figure out how to upload the video but no success sorry. I do have a picture of the sunset though. I went to my car after Jason ministered and sat a few minutes as Natalie Grant ministered. How amazing in the times in which we live in that worship can go out into the atmosphere outside of the church. How creative. Is anyone going to catch the greater vision of renting out Bonnaroo land and having an outdoor Harvest Worship Gathering. I can only do so much on my end. I see and report what Holy Spirit shows me. We need a group of people to gather and bring this forth. Do you know anyone that may know someone and so forth to get this going?

I truly do need to get back to worshipping in person not all the time with online stuff. It is great and there is purpose but there is greater purpose when the saints gather in person and bring forth their worship unto God. I do not want to lose my worship rhythm in playing the percussion instrument's under the anointing of gathering saints in worship. Does that make sense?

Do you know that cleaning your home with packing containers and boxes filled all around can be a bit of a challenge? I tackled that challenge yesterday and so glad I did because I can go on a journey into Franklin today. Let's see what brings forth. Even though I tend to be content at home in my world of sharing via this blog I truly am a people person and enough is enough is enough of this seclusion stuff. I want to gather with the saints and worship and fellowship too. It is part of our calling to share our testimonies with those we meet. I may never meet any of you that read my blog in person and we will meet in heaven for all eternity. I am re-charged when I interact with actual people around me and we share our testimonies. It tends to ignite and stoke the fire inside me. Please bring back worship events in the great outdoors and the people will come. They truly will come to worship our Jesus.

Do you know Jesus? He is waiting to meet you and longs for the day you say to Him to come into your heart and live with Him for all eternity in heaven. It is a gift freely given to you so no man will boast about it. Just ask Jesus to cleanse you of all your sins past and present. He will and then invite Him into your heart and He will guide your steps and direct the path you are to take in your life. It is fun and it is serious at the same time. He died on a cross just for you and 3 days later He rose from the dead. Do you know anyone in your life now that would do that just for you? He did so you could chose to live with Him here on earth and then in heaven for all eternity. The other choice is very bleak for if you are not living in heaven for all eternity the only other place you will live for all eternity is hell. You do not want to go there. I was given an opportunity years ago to hear the sounds of those horrible, indescribable screams of those in hell. I was in prayer and it was like the carpeting and floor boards were opened up to allow me to hear those screams. I can still remember the moment that happened to me.

After worship last night I treated myself to a late dinner do you know where I went? Chick-fil-A for a kids grilled chicken nuggets meal. I enjoyed it and watched a bit of a western movie. You have to know that I was not always a western type of movies fan and for some reason I am captivated by them now. That movie clip I shared the other day with you all I noticed will be on GRIT tv this Monday night @ 8PM (not sure of the time zone the 8 refers to.)

Promise Me You Won't Laugh When I Tell You What Song I Have Been Listening To In The Car The Last Few Days. Promise!!!

 Ok, now for some reason I have been listening to  a song from the music CD of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. The song I have on "repeat" mode is, "We Are Santa's Elves." Why? I have no idea. I was at Cracker Barrel a few days ago and saw this music CD on sale for 1/2 off the original price. It was the picture on the CD that captured my heart. So endearing, the picture of the snowman and Rudolph. It is the music of Burl Ives & lyrics by Johnny Marks. So, yesterday and a little bit today I hear the song playing from Little Mermaid so let's have a listens to that one too. Enjoy. Remember you promised me you wouldn't laugh when I shared this with you

I Believe I Need To Take A Break This Weekend. Maybe Go Where Jason Crabb & Natalie Grant Will Be Ministering. What Do You Think?

I noticed that Jason Crabb & Natalie Grant will be ministering this weekend. I need to get away and enjoy ministry and worship also. I was looking forward to possibly taking time from my busy schedule to travel a few hours away to a ministry event. You know, stay at an Airbnb and enjoy life again in the realm of ministry. That idea goes out the window since they decided to have this event via the internet. I am not interested in this type of venue anymore per say. Enough is enough with this now. I get social distancing, I get even though I do not like wearing a mask possibly having to wear a mask. I long for in-person worship/praise not over the internet praise/worship. Who is going to get out there and start live, in-person ministry events? Just step out on the edge and do not cower back and retreat.

I think I am going to try to go to this event. I can find a place there where I am far enough away from the crowd so as to be able to breathe freely and not with a mask. These masks are awful, they really are. God did not create us to live with masks on our faces all day long. He created us to breathe freely through our unrestricted nasal passages. Not cover them up and have to be frustrated with not being able to breathe like He created us to breathe.

A word of wisdom to ministries that are beginning to host live events. God is watching you to make sure you are not gouging His people with costly event charging. Meaning, charging higher fees to recoup money that the ministry may have lost in the last few months. If you charged lets say nothing and a free will offering was taken up to bless the minister. Now charging lets say 30.00. Or what about if you may have charged 20.00 and now maybe charging 30.00 now what is that all about? Remember God is keeping a watchful eye upon ministries to see that they are not taking advantage of and gouging His people.

Another thought, why is a single person charged an event price at a higher rate then couples. That is not quite right. If you are charging a fee then charge it across the board. Think of it like this. A single person may have one income and a married couple just may have 2 incomes so can they not afford two tickets a lot easier then the single person with one income? Just a thought on common sense. What do you think?

See This Simple "Pinocchio" Plastic Glass. It Had Purpose For Many Years. Today Holy Spirit Shows Me To Use It As A Symbol As A "Pinocchio Award" Going To .......

This simple childs plastic cup has been used throughout the years as a tool used in the bathroom. You may say "what." Yep, it is used to rinse the tub out after a bath or a shower so the tub is clean. It is also purposeful for rinsing your hair when washing it while in the tub taking a bath. Today it is used for a third purpose. It is the symbol of the "Pinocchio Award" being presented to Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci you created enough potential damage to our country don't you think it is time to step aside now? Let someone that is credentialed and credible with true solutions step in to take your place. They will bring sense back to our country and not mayhem and confusion. Enough of this, it is now time to bring this country together with truth and no crazy concoctions that you seem to thrust on us.

Be thankful for the opportunity you had to guide us when you got it right and let the rest go. Please dear man, step aside so we can continue to move forward with truth, dignity and justice served for all. This is a short blog entry but I trust the point comes across loud and clear. TRUTH will prevail LIES will not.

In reality I was shown this the other day. It sat on a counter yesterday waiting for me to take a picture of it and being released by Holy Spirit to write about it. Have a day filled with fun and adventure ok.

How Many Of You Think Of R.W. Schambach As A Matchmaker? I Didn't Until He Came To Me In A Dream This Morning 8/5/2020. Of All Days, My Mother's 91st Birthday.

I double checked with Holy Spirit to make sure this dream was from Him and He assured me it was. I am going to share portions of the dream and then backtrack what proceeded me doing before I went to bed last night. I think this all ties in and you all are suppose to listen to a podcast that I have to listen to again after I write this because I dozed off twice while listening to it.
"I am standing by R.W. Schambach as he is sitting down and he is on a cell phone talking. I know who the man is that he is talking to. As I am standing there in front of Schambach right during his conversation with this man he all of a sudden hands the phone to me without making mention at all. It was as if it was thrust upon me to speak with this man. The man on the phone knows it is me he is speaking to and then there is the beginning awkward moment of dead silence for a brief moment. I knew I was not to be the one to initiate the conversation it was for the man to do. He catches on and he begins the conversation with "Hi" and then the conversation flows ever so nice until … I inquire as to why an upcoming ministry event was cancelled as an in person event and moved to a live streaming event. This man was not really thrilled with my question and I do not know the response he could have given to me because the dream ended before a response was given." All in all it was a pleasant dream filled with HOPE and anticipation of something good is just about to happen.
 Let me share with you what happened last night. I went walking. I then watched a really good John Wayne western movie last night on GRIT tv. I do not know the name of it but it had characters in the movie from both the Confederate and Union armies that meet. The Civil War ended but a group of ex-Confederate's and family members go on a journey. The two main characters meet and then they meet again and it is the ex-Union Yankee's that actually help out the ex-Confederate people in the end. It had seriousness in this movie and also fun at the same time. I sure do wish I looked up the name of the movie because it was that good. Even though the war was clearly over the ex-Confederate characters still forged ahead on their journey dressed in their uniforms. The ex-Union characters that are dressed in cowboy type of clothing actually sacrificed money they all labored in when it came down to it to let the money go and extend help to the ex-Confederates that were in dire need. If they did not bring horses to the Mexicans in control in Mexico the Mexicans were going to kill all their family and soldiers left behind.
Sort of reminds me of the story of Joseph in the bible when he discovers that his brothers that betrayed him are now in front of him asking for help. Doesn't he sort of hold hostage his one brother while he sends the rest back to their father to go and get him. What happens in the end. They are all united together and the entire family is blessed. If you are a preacher this just may be a sermon tucked in here somehow. Go ahead and preach it, I encourage you.

Found the movie you have to watch this. It speaks volumes. It truly does. John Wayne & Rock Hudson.

So back to my story. Last night I was tired when I went to bed. I knew though that I had to listen to a podcast on Hope Ambassadors before I fell asleep. I NEVER bring my cell phone into the bedroom, but for some reason last night I did. I played the podcast once and dozed off just before the question time and closing prayer. I played it again and the same thing happened around the time of question answering and prayer again. I woke up and shut off my phone and powered it off. I laid it beside me and went to sleep. I had the dream, what do you think about all of this?
I still chuckle a bit at the notion that God can use that mighty man of God, R.W. Schambach as a matchmaker. I just know him to be a fiery preacher that was not afraid of man and preached the true word of God.

You should probably listen to the podcast. I am going to listen to catch what I missed twice last night. Tried to search and upload it but not successful. This is what you search for ok. I found it just click on the link and listen. I sure did give you lots of assignments today didn't I. They will bless you immensely, they truly will. I do not know why but I am hearing these words so I will close with them, "Peace Out." Happy 91st Birthday Mom to a wonderful mother, friend and disciplinarian also. We were taught to live a life filled with love, compassion, servanthood and respect tucked in with etiquette too. This link is through Charisma Podcast.

I Woke This Morning Seeing The Interior Of A Kitchen & Hearing This Song Playing, "Take The Last Train To Clarksville."

I woke to seeing an interior of a kitchen. It was a kitchen of a place that was not occupied. Meaning it was ready to move into. I then hear the song playing the words, "Take the last train to Clarksville." I wake up and think it is a Beatles song and I search to even see if the city mentioned is part of the song I am hearing play inside me. Well, it was not a Beatles song but a song by the Monkees. I listen to it and sure enough it says Clarksville. Do you think this may be a big breakthrough just for me? I then did searching for some favorite stores I like to frequent and they are all located in this city. I remember my son telling me to check and see if there is a TJ Maxx, Marshall's etc. because he knows I like to shop there. They even have an Ollie's and Dirt Cheap too along with a Bargain Hunt.
Remember months ago when I did the prophetic act of placing some of the Dalton, GA anointing oil into the Stones River for healing the water? I remember I also researched back then where the river flowed into. Guess what? It flows into the Cumberland River and that is also located in Clarksville.


The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville 1966

See them shaking the maracas to the beat of the song along with the tambourine? This is bringing to my memory 2 different times I had a funny story connected to both types of instruments that happened in Ohio @ church. I was an on fire gal playing those instruments and I guess I could have been a bit zealous when playing them during praise/worship. I think this will make you laugh or at least put a smile on your face.
First story to share … I was sitting in the 2nd row, center section at church. I was standing behind the front row ministers and in front of me was Minister Clara. She was an older woman of God and she actually helped me when I took the class, "Cleansing Stream." I have my eyes closed when I am in praise/worship to follow Holy Spirit lead on how to play the instruments and I let the music flow through me if that makes sense. Oh my gosh, Minister Clara was sitting at the time I was standing and I hit her in the head with the tambourine. Yes I did and I felt so bad that that happened. I of course apologized and then I was a bit more mindful when playing the tambourine at church. I tend to find a seat at church where there is room for me to worship with instruments. I do not really use the tambourine much now a days but when I did I did like to sit in seats where I was in the the end seat of the row to give me a bit more space to worship. I always knew I could slightly step out into the aisle if I needed more worship space or go to the altar during worship.
The 2nd story to share this time about the maracas in church. Our church had a live Easter production, I want to think it was the Passion Play or something of that nature. We had live animals also in this big production. So, the worship band could not be on the platform for it was transformed into the major part of this production. They moved the band to the ground level and corded them off with pipe and drape type of stuff. You could see the band ministers but not the bottom it was with draping. So I am seated on the front row but to the section off to the left, not the center section. I am praising away like I tend to do and the next thing I know one of the maracas I was shaking let loose. The top portion of 1 maraca separated from the stick/handle portion and it went rolling on the floor and it rolled right to the band area. Oh my gosh no one ever said anything to me about that. Thank God. See, you can have fun in church even if you do not plan for it. I did not hurt anyone it just rolled on the floor ever so grceful. I was most thankful that it did not go flying in the air and hit someone. God is good, God is Great and God is faithful. May you have a sunny start to your day today and hopefully a smile on your face too.

Late This Afternoon I Drove To Franklin To Shop @ Whole Foods. What Do You Think I Bought?

I drove into Franklin to shop at Whole Foods. I ended up walking out of the store with buying nothing at all. They had no local farmer brown eggs or sourdough bread. What is that all about? While I am out in that area I then head to Tuesday Morning in search of notecards. They had a pretty slim selection but I found one of my favorite calendar designers, Lang. I bought a box of note cards designed by them. That store also looked depleted. I asked them if they were going to close the store since there was not a lot of merchandise. They assured me they were not closing and they just received a truck in. One more stop while in Franklin, Bargain Hunt.
I thought I was going to go to Franklin to shop but I do believe the real reason was to listen to my August Rain CD there and back home. I re-connected with another song, I hope you like it. As I was heading into Franklin the shout rose up inside me a few times and I of course released it. Then on a song I was doing my hand movements to the song beat. It felt good again to let that rise up inside of me. So what do you think about me moving to Clarksville? I seem to be open to places now and at times I sure do wish Holy Spirit would narrow down the choices so I could concentrate in a certain city to find a new place of location for this gal. There is always tomorrow to deal with this right. For now lets listen to another song from August Rain ok. First song was my travel to Franklin song. Second song was heading back home song.


August Rain (w/ Mac Powell): Show Me Your Light (w/ Lyrics)



We Praise You

Oh So Sweet To Be Reminded Of These 2 August Rain Songs I Like


SHOW ME YOUR LIGHT! AUGUST RAIN


I love the banjo in this song.


[You Are My] Friend


I am so glad I found this CD I had the other day. Truly blessing me this music.

Found Another August Rain Song, Was On "Repeat" Mode A Good Portion Of This Day.


Time


I am a bit tired now. I spent many hours in training today. I do love this song. I hope you do also. 

Tullahoma Still A Bit Too Rural For Me. I Do Love Sneaking Away To Shop There. I Found A Few Good Deals Yesterday While There. Also Including A Journal Entry I Wrote 6/30/2011 About Quilt Making Card Kit Journey I Was On.

This is a sample of quilt cards I made from the card kit I make reference to.
I trained in the morning for a seasonal job. Went home and then off to view a rental home in Tullahoma. It was a house built in the 1940's and the owner did a lovely job of interior upgrades. Apparently back then they would build 2 front doors on a house? One was to enter the home via the living room. The other front door led to the bedroom. Not comfortable at all having a front door entrance to the main bedroom, what in the world were they thinking when they designed this house. What caught my eye was the exterior picture of this stone house. When I arrived I looked at the rural type of driveway to the car port and asked if it was ok to park in the street. I parked in the street and asked how was it getting into the grass/stone/gravel driveway during snow. Response that there has been no problem. Can you believe this, the owner told me they had over 100 inquiries about this rental property. They only responded to those that filled out a further info gathering questionnaire. This owner was so kind and another person viewed the home prior to me seeing it and they were holding off to see if I would like it. The woodwork was beautiful. The beaded wood design ceilings were nice too. There was very little storage for clothing and other items also. No privacy fence either for the backyard but the plus is the owner took care of any yardwork. A very nice owner I met yesterday. I inquired if there was an Aldi's out there because brisket of beef was on sale this week.
I left the appointment and off to Ollie's where I found a few items. I was able to indirectly bless Israel becasue I found "Dead Sea Collection" antibacterial hand soap made in Israel for only $2.49. The scent is lovely, Coconut Lemongrass. Then there is McCafe brand of coffee I already tried cinnamon mocha. It was time to now try Chocolate Mocha and it is only $3.99 per bag of ground coffee.
Off to drive by another home, so glad I did not make an appointment to view that  house. Now onto Aldi's. They had the brisket of beef so I purchased it along with red wine vinegar. See, there are pluses to shopping in more rural stores becasue everything does not sell out on the day the ad starts. That tends to happen a lot at a local Aldi's. The people that are not working now I was told line up and wait for the store to open the day a new ad comes out. So when the working folks go to shop the great featured items have already been sold. I already divided the beef into 2 sections. One I will make in my electric pressure cooker today and the other went in the freezer for another time to make it. I have about 8 hours or so of training I need to complete sometime today.
I was up early today and sorting through my music CD's. In the midst of this I found a CD by August Rain and the song on "repeat" mode I am playing now is "Let it Rain." I also found a journal entry I wrote on a legal size note pad that I will share now. I penned this journey experience on 6/30/11. About my search for a card making kit to make quilt designed cards. This was a faith building experience let me share with you if I may .....................................
As I read this I knew exactly what TJ Maxx I found this at. Isn't that amazing how Holy Spirit refreshes you and brings to your very memory the experience all again?  I liked the card kit container so much that I use it this day to store some of my card making tools inside it.

"I was at the near end of my patchwork card making kit-it was stirred up inside me today to go & see if I could find another 1. Went to a few stores & could not find one. Then there was this thought that came to me-try 1 more store. I was heading to 1 location-then it popped into my mind to switch directions & head to another location. I did.
I began to peruse the store in search of it & I was in the stationary section of the store. Just moments prior I stood in the aisle & silently said to the Lord-if what You've shown me is truly faith & will come to pass then show me by letting me find this card set. I looked in all of the obvious places-no card kit. Then I looked up & behind some other stationary & there it was-1 card kit just like the other 1 & only 1 of them. I grabbed it & put it in my cart … now this is where the ministry comes in. I am silently thanking the Lord for the confirmation & it leaps inside me to share it with a fellow shopper browsing in the same aisle I was @.  I said excuse me & then asked her if she believed that you can ask God to show you a confirmation through something. I then briefly shared with her my silent ? asking for a confirmation & I then went onto to speak of His faithfulness.
This woman said she needed to hear an encouraging thought like I shared with her. She had a day when it was fine then all of a sudden the enemy came in & began to cause her to doubt. She didn't know where it came from.
Here I am in the stationary aisle of a store teaching about sometimes-Christian's can pray prayers with a wrong intent or their heart is not right with you or with the Lord & how it is now a word curse against you & when you feel that heaviness come upon you-Holy Spirit will assign & show you how many angels are around you/assigned to you & He will increase them by number when it is needed. Your job in all of this … In the name of Jesus you command them to go & send right back what is coming or trying to come against you right back to the originator.
God is good & ever so faithful … I could have chose to go my direction-but I chose to go in Holy Spirits direction today. Not only was there confirmation with a blessing all wrapped in 1 just for me. I chose to follow the nudge to share my witness with that woman & she was then blessed also for she was seeking an answer from God in her life. Holy Spirit then used her to share a brief word of confirmation in my life also.
Praise God always & forever-we shared that we will see each other in heaven & even Abraham & others will be asking us ?'s about what it was like for us living in the end times-not just us asking them ?'s."





Let It Rain



How about this sweet ending, this is the quilt my mother was making while I was growing inside her. Maybe that is why I like the color green. Yes, I have this quilt in my possession this very day

It Is Down To The Wire Time. I Have 1 Month To Move. Looking Bleak Moving Closer To Metro Area. I Am Going In Search Much Further Away From Metro Area.

I have been seeking the Lord on where is the location region to narrow down my search. I hear all the time TRUST to my inquiry. I know I should not purchase a home at his time. I trust my mom's intuition/instinct. She has been pretty on target throughout her life when it comes to this area. So the search is on for a home to rent. I am going pretty far away from the metro area today to view a possible rental. Why I am being pulled further away from where I live now I do not know but all I can do is trust. He has been so faithful in my life, truly faithful and there must be purpose to this. The one thing though, there was going to be a preacher I wanted to really attend in September to sit under their ministry. I know myself, I will probably not drive over an hour to attend this ministry event. I know me and I know it is too far away for me. So the search goes on.
Talk about timing being a bit off in my life. I was hired months ago for a seasonal job and because of this nasty covid 19 stuff it keeps getting pushed back and believe it or not, I am attending training today. I have about a month to continue packing my belongings; work this extra job and move. Why was timing so off in my life that I do not understand but I am still willing to go forth and train today. Then off to tour a potential rental home further away from where I live right now.
All the signs are definitely here to tell me to get out of this current location. Just the other day I woke to finding on the shrubbery an ashtray that had a picture of marijuana. I did not touch it but I did get a broom and pushed it off the shrub and scooted it onto the main sidewalk for the management staff to pick up this trash. There was an older couple that recently moved from our building. I do believe they used to look out for all of us. One of them would walk their dogs throughout the day and would inform me of things going on with what they observed on this property. So I see them the other day when they came back to get a few things left to pick up and I warn them to be careful to not trip on the ashtray on the sidewalk. It was a matter of minutes that someone from maintenance came and picked up that trash. I do not know this for sure but I do believe they contacted someone to pick up that garbage. They also informed me that the property had 25 vacancies and they were now using a realtor company to help them fill the vacancies. The reason being, it does not look so bad on their website with so many vacancies. They actually had a business card of someone that works at that company that told them this info. I then asked the property manager about this and they denied it. I was told there was only 1 two bedroom apartment open and not rented yet. Who is telling the truth? I do not know I just know that I keep getting very clear signs to get out of this region. What's a gal to do, I know 1 thing that is in my life and has always been there and that is to TRUST Jesus.
A good portion of yesterday 1 song was playing inside me and of course, I hummed the tune and sang in tongues to it off and on. I sought interpretation and guess what? My favorite word that I hear was the final word spoken in the interpretation, TRUST.
