This Past Sunday, 3/27/2022 I Found Myself In A Holy Spirit Adventure In Madison, TN. It Inspired A Word Of Warning About Being Easily Deceived.

I knew 1 thing on Sunday, go to a Dirt Cheap store to see if I could find another ceramic bunny cupcake platter for my Katie. I bought 1 for her the other day and when I was taking it out of the bag I dropped it and it cracked off into 2 pieces. I didn't want to throw it away so I glued it together again. You can see where it cracked though. I told my daughter about it and how I thought if she used a paper doily over the crack you could still use it to serve a small cake, cupcake or small pie. I have one more thought about this. What if I found some cute design contact paper and covered the entire top? So, I searched and there was a Dirt Cheap store in Madison, TN. I don't think I have ever been to that city before. I took a brief cat nap and was refreshed when I woke up and felt this prod by Holy Spirit to still go to that particular store.

In the mean time at another Dirt Cheap I found 2 adorable glass Pyrex covered dishes with bunnies etched on the side. Perfect for making tuna noodle casserole for both my daughter and niece. They both like it and I told my niece I would stop in Cincinnati heading back home to bring her some in this adorable Pyrex. How funny is that? My nephew, her husband, is a well known Executive Chef and Auntie Kim is making tuna noodle casserole and dropping it off to her. I think that is funny to me. So, as we were talking the other day she told me it is the 50th anniversary year of King's Island. He is the executive chef for this amusement park. I told her biblical wise that is very good to be in a 50th year of jubilee, very good.

I did not find a replacement bunny platter but this is what I did find. I bought 1 because it reminded me so much of the Starbuck's You Are Here coffee mugs. I really did think they must have been made by the same company that makes theirs. It must have been a buyout from Great Wolf Lodge and they were really dirt cheap on Sunday. I paid $0.25 for that coffee mug. You look and decide which mug is made in China versus being made in Thailand. Also I know you cannot actually hold both mugs to determine which one is heavier and better made. Have a look and guess ok. I will reveal the answer below the pictures.

The better made quality mug is the one from Great Wolf Lodge. Look at the quality of even the handle thickness. Starbuck's mug is made in China, the other made in Thailand. I know I paid much more for the Starbuck's mug and it is an inferior product in the comparison of the 2 similar mugs. I was sent on this journey to remind you to not be so easily deceived. There are imposters out there that may look the part. They may even speak the right words but where is their origin coming from, from Holy Spirit or from some other foreign spirit not of God? Do not be deceived like the prophet in the Old Testament. He was given explicit instructions on the route to take back home after he spoke what he was to speak forth. He was not supposed to stop and eat with anyone. An older prophet flat out lied to this prophet. Instead of the prophet listening to the instructions given to him he chose to listen to the lying/deceptive prophet suggesting to him it was ok with God for him to dine with him. Guess what people, it cost that prophet his life. He never made it back home because he was killed. Search it out and read it for yourself in the bible. The deceptive prophet realized that the now dead prophet was a true prophet of God. In the times we are living in there are many voices out there speaking all kinds of things. I suggest you truly seek the face of God and be not deceived, for in the bible it states that even the elect will be deceived. Have fun today and if you want to take the mug challenge for yourself, get a You Are Here mug from Starbuck's then go to the Dirt Cheap store in Madison, TN and purchase their mug. There were only a few left on the end cap shelf where I found the mug. Even at the checkout one of the employees told me it was a good quality mug.

My "High 5" Results From Taking A Strength Test Recently. Would You Like To Know The Results?

I completed a few days ago a "strengths" test. It was suggested to those watching/participating in a recent Joan Hunter "Unleashed" conference. The female speaker suggested taking a "Strengths Test." I followed through and took a test. I recall taking this type of test many years ago. I should try to look for those results in comparison to today's results, that would be interesting if I didn't throw away the results from years ago. I am copy/pasting the actual way the results came to me from the test results ok. Not my words but those of the findings after completing 100 questions in the test. You will see " " marks at the beginning and the end because they are not my words, but the results given from the test.

"SELF-BELIEVER

• Your objective is to radiate confidence. You are not worried by what the future holds and, deep inside your heart, you know you will get through no matter what happens. Your inner confidence and self-motivation allow you to take risks, face new challenges, stake claims, and most importantly, deliver on your word. Your confidence applies not only to your abilities but also to your judgments. You seem to make the right decisions in all situations, which, for others, creates a sense of trust and security. This feeling of certainty is crucial for driving the decision-making process in any team.

• COACH

• • Your goal is to develop people’s potential. You believe that, contrary to what some might think, everybody has the potential for development. No-one has ever reached the ultimate level of excellence — there is always room for growth. It is your personal mission to help others realize and use their potential to experience success. As a result, you always look for ways to facilitate their learning, from challenging their thoughts in a discussion to creating environments that facilitate progress. As a leader, you truly care about the development of your team members, and they respect you for that.

  • • TIME KEEPER

      Your objective is to set timelines and deadlines. Surprises annoy you, so you prefer to plan everything. You don’t necessarily need full control, but there must be order and predictability in the world around you. You unconsciously impose structure into everything by setting up routines, timelines and deadlines. If you make plans, you follow them thoroughly, no matter what. In a team or project environment, your need for structure and discipline are extremely valuable in maintaining progress and productivity.

    • • DELIVERER

        Your underlying goal is to take responsibility. If anyone is emotionally bound to following through on their promises, it’s you, the Deliverer. Your strong ethical principles don’t allow you to simply write off missteps with excuses and rationalizations. And this holds true no matter how small or large the issue. Your name and reputation depend on you being responsible for your commitments. That’s why people love to have you on their team. You’re the first person they turn to when assigning new responsibilities, because they’re 100% sure that whatever needs to be accomplished will get done.

      • • OPTIMIST

          Your mission is to bring in a positive spirit. You believe that the glass is half-full instead of half-empty. You always find a way to make things more exciting, whether it’s a work project or an everyday situation. You infect others with your enthusiasm, and that’s why they love being around you. Sure, there are people who don’t buy your positivity, but does that stop you? No way! Your optimism simply doesn’t allow it. In a team environment, you are grateful for people and circumstances, generous with praise and quick to point out the positive side of every situation. This is key to motivating people and mitigating conflicts."

        • There is an option to pay for the full test results but I have no interest in doing that. Now this is interesting, they allow you to send the results via email to people you submit their email to, to get their opinion. No interest in that either. I find it interesting in the word choice of me being rated as my 4th ranked  strength, deliverer. Now, I know they mean it in 1 way but I am trained in deliverance ministry. How cool is that? I think the natural is lining up with the spiritual in my life. Have a beautiful day and bless those around you ok. I am blessed to be a blessing to bless others are you too? 

Yesterday's Adventure With Holy Spirit, Fun, Fun, Fun. It Started The Night Before Watching Old Time Movie, "Gigi." Miracle Baby Girl Came Home From Hospital, She Reached 5 Lbs.

This adventure actually started Friday night, March 25/2022. When I want to watch an old-time movie, I will search through classics in HBO Max under that category. I have done this before, and the movie "Gigi" would pique my interest but not watch it that night. It was Friday evening it stirred inside of me to watch it and I did. Never realizing it was the start of my Saturday adventure, so much fun in my life. I was up most of Friday night and would sleep off and on again and I seldom do this, I actually did not get up until 9:30AM. One of those moments I woke from a dream and heard specific words in a brief statement. I knew they were important, so I wrote them down. I knew the direction I was to take that day. Go to the nice I larger in size Dollar Tree, Kroger's, Sprouts Market, Dirt Cheap. I was heading back, and Holy Spirit says to stop @ Dillard's and from there to Marshall's. 

I found out recently that the miracle pre-maturely born baby girl was finally released to come home when she reached 5 lbs. I saw her mom yesterday and she said she is up to 7lb.'s. Praise God for the miraculous because she was a little over 1 lb. when she was born. It is important that I now knew her size so I could buy a little welcome home baby gift for her. I remember years ago when our 2nd child was born, and people were so kind and thoughtful when they would come to visit. They brought a gift for our son, but they also brought a gift for our first-born daughter too, so she did not feel left out. Isn't that a sweet and lovely idea? It stayed with me throughout the years and so I did the same. I found a cute outfit for her and a little something for her big brother too. I did not want to decorate it overly little girl style since there was also a gift tucked inside for her brother. I will give it to them the next time I see them. Oddly enough, I know which apartment building they live in but not their actual apartment number.

So, I think the movie, "Gigi" was from 1958, the year this little girl was born, imagine that! If I lived in that era I would have done quite well. Meaning to be taught proper etiquette, how to pour tea/coffee, properly carry yourself when you walk. Wearing elegant gloves to go with your beautiful & fine quality clothing. How to serve your guests. Things like that. I think I may still have 2 or 3 etiquette books I use for reference when needed today. It is important to set the table properly be it a buffet or elegant setting. How to properly consume certain items at a dinner party etiquette wise I mean. The importance of how to properly hold a cold beverage in the hand so when it comes time to shake hands with another it is done just right. I loved playing with my Barbie dolls and Little Kiddle's, along with Chatty Cathy too.  I really am a girly girly type of woman. I like nice things and surroundings and making people feel welcome when they come to visit. I will not apologize for this either because God placed these qualities inside of me and I celebrate them. I always remember my mother telling my sister and I that "Simplicity is the height of elegance." I prayed for miracle baby girl again this morning for creative miracles to continue in her life. To God be the glory, Amen.

Gigi (1958) - Thank Heaven for Little Girls

The brother's gift intrigued me; I would want to play with that even though I am 63 years old. Why didn't they make fun things like this when I was a little girl? 

Did you notice the pink pacifiers and bottles on the decorative ribbon?

One more thought. My former husband and I sent both of our children to manners/etiquette class when Dillard's used to offer them years ago. Why do they not offer this in school? They should.

I Was Searching For A Particular Blog Entry I Published Around 2009. For Some Reason This Blog Entry Stood Out To Me About CREATIVITY & May You Be Blessed With It. I Wrote This September 13, 2009

What you may not know about this blog I am sharing is the woman who gave her heart to Jesus had Alzheimer's pretty bad. Most times she would sit in her wheelchair and not speak, and we somehow stumbled upon the song I share about. There was something when we played that song that would cause her to light up. Me, my friend Mary and another roommate in her room would sing this song to her and then we would clap after we sang it. In the moment she accepted Jesus into her heart she was in a miraculous, fluid state of mind I do believe Holy Spirit set up just for her to receive Jesus. Isn't that beautiful. Here is a picture of the strand of pearls I re-strung & gave to my mother. She recently gifted them back to me. You will also see the new set of pearl earring I recently purchased along with the broken pair of pearl earrings I wrote about in another blog entry. The broken 1 was the genuine quality 14K yellow gold along with the cheapy one next to it. I also included 1 of the bracelets I made for myself back when I was making them.

Creativity Led To Salvation At A Local Nursing Home Today

I just wrote about salvation and accepting Jesus into your heart yesterday. Today, I will share with you a writing on creativity. This writing released in me a creativity to create bracelets. I do not sell them. As the Holy Spirit leads me I create and bless a person with it. In our youth group at church I learned the ABC's of Salvation. I wrote it down and I tag the bracelet with a simple message:
ABC's of Salvation
Accept
Believe
Confess
I then plant that bracelet into their life as a seed for the Gospel to go forth. I had one of these bracelets in my purse for a few days now. The Holy Spirit prompted me to bless a roommate of a lady that I visit at a nursing home. Every time I visit my friend when I leave we usually sing the song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." I know that is a song her roommate likes to sing. We then clap for her after we sing. I had the tag on the bracelet and I went to give it to her. I asked her if she had Jesus in her heart. I explained salvation to her and asked her if she believed that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and that he died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. She said yes. I asked her to repeat after me a prayer to invite Jesus into her heart. She did. When we were through I told her about how all of the angels in heaven rejoiced and listened to her say that very prayer. I told her the bracelet is for her and to celebrate the day she said this prayer. I wrote down today's date on the tag and gave it to my friend to hold onto for her. Thank you Lord for the free gift of salvation. A gift freely given so no man should boast. Holy Spirit seal the words upon her heart that were spoken today. Reveal yourself to her ever so clearly and bless her days. Also, bless my friend for her faithfulness in reading the word of God and sharing with the people around her. Bless all that she places her hands upon.

April 18, 2009 CREATIVITY

For the word Creativity the Holy Spirit is showing me to enter the words to represent the first letters in the word. Usually when I am given an explanation of a word I start with the first letter and proceed down. On this explanation I am to reverse the order:
Created
Royalty
Enriched
Are
That
Instilled
Values
In
Today
Yours

When the interpretation is presented, the reader must read the words in the opposite direction like this:
Yours
Today
In
Values
Instilled
That
Are
Enriched
Royalty
Created

In the first interpretation the letters that represent the word creativity are colored lavender. This belongs in the color family of purple. Purple represents royalty. The second color reflected is sky blue. When I use to create banners, I used a Banner Colors sheet with the explanation, meaning, and scripture behind the various colors. I am to incorporate the colors represented above at this point.

Purple: Royalty, Kingship. Honor. (Luke 16:19; Judges 8:26.) The mediatorship of Christ (primary red [Warfare. Blood Covering. If we warriors are covered in red, the Blood of Jesus, the enemy cannot see our wounds!] and primary blue come together to give us purple.)

Since the color represented (sky blue) for the letters written in the opposite direction is not listed on the sheet. I am going to combine two colors, blue and light blue.

Blue: Grace. Hope, The heavenlies of the Holy Spirit. The divinity of Christ. Remembrance of God’s Commands. (Numbers 15:38-39.)

Light Blue: Grace. Mercy. River of Life. (Psalms 19:1.)

The three Scriptures that are used are Judges 8:26, which will be the God’s Word interpretation; Numbers 15:38-39, which will have The King James Version; and Psalms 19:1, which will be the God’s Word interpretation.

“The gold earrings Gideon had asked for weighed 40 pounds. This did not include the half-moon ornaments, the earrings, the purple clothes worn by the kings of Midian, and the chains from their camels’ necks.”

“Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go awhoring.”

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.”

As time marches on and onward, the creativity of the Father is released through the Holy Spirit onto the people that are postured to receive. There is a condition to the one that receives at this time, as you know it. They must be walking upright with the Lord following the commandments. I examine their heart to see if it pants after Me, Me being Christ Jesus. Man looks at outward appearances such as are the nails finely manicured and clean or are the shoes polished. I look at the transparency of the person’s heart. Is it pure, clean, and longing to move forward in the plans and calling I have pre-destined them to fulfill? When I can find a heart that is rightfully prepared to move forward that is when I download their spirit and mind with the creative ideas to flow in. To advance not only them but also the kingdom of God. I am not looking for a poor and weak church or remnant of people. I am looking for a rich and strong church and remnant of people.

It takes finances in your economy to take the Gospel forward. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I already see it created in the finished mode. That is why the true explanation of the above word is to be read in the reverse of the letters of the word. It was already spoken and into existence. Once the creative ideas and strategies are released into this group of people the rest will just flow into place. Do not fret or worry over the economy or your circumstances. Your job is to keep your heart pure and clean before Me and My Father. I will take care of the rest. A pure heart is a heart that easily forgives others that have wronged you or your family. A pure heart seeks after the heart of God and the word of God. Keeping the commandments. Even if a person thinks of lust in his heart it is as though he acted in the act of adultery. It is very important to keep your thoughts captive now and do not let the enemy deluge you and bombard you with his thoughts to cloud your judgment and plant a seed of doubt in your heart. It pleases My Father when His people walk in faith.

There is a group of people that were born with an inward witness and longing to walk in royalty. They feel at ease when they are amongst the rich and famous and know that they are called to be there also. I have instilled this in them and they are being raised up to be put into places and to be the voice of My Father to reach this group of people that search for Me but seek worldly things because they do not know how to attain true happiness and peace through Jesus. As I care for the widow and the orphaned, I also care for the affluent. I shed My blood for all to have eternal peace with Me. Man and the church have told you that it is godly to be miserly and humbling to be poor. That is not so. I came to set the captives free and to walk and fulfill what the Our Father prayer states:

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory now and forever and ever and ever and ever Amen.

Poverty, sickness, and disease do not exist in heaven. If you faithfully pray and believe with faith of the above prayer to My Father then all of your needs are met. Rest in that. It is not some complicated formula, it is the simple act of faith with expected anticipation coupled together. Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action (that quote came from a piece of artwork I have.) I have two stepping-stones outside that state “Believe that faith can move mountains.”& “Love one another with grace and gentleness.” I am reminded of the meaning of grace:
God’s
Royalty
Administered
Creativity
Encountered
As a side note, after completing this writing the Holy Spirit led me to take my strand of pearls (that my Father purchased for me years ago in Hawaii) that needed to be re-strung and I went to Michaels. A very kind and talented young woman assisted me with getting the proper string to use and a beautiful Swarovski crystal toggle. I went home and re-strung the pearls with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the girl’s words. I then blessed my mother with them. She loves them. I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics on Monday and a woman showed me how to re-string a bracelet that the toggle broke off. Several times my mother or I when in Atlanta have to take the bracelet to the store that created it and they re-string it for me. I then re-strung that bracelet on Monday and added a Swarovski crystal to that. From those two acts of faith, I have continued to create several bracelets. People have told me to sell them. I told them they are not for sale but I am to bless people with them and use them as a seed planted for the Gospel to go forward. At the youth church service on April 22, 2009, Pastor Josh taught the youth (pre-teen and teen) the ABC’s of Salvation:
Accept
Believe
Confess
That is the tag that I attach to the bracelet that I bless someone with.
Holy Spirit you are so awesome and you never cease to amaze me with your creativity. Thank you for flowing through me.

Update From Yesterday 3/23/2022

When participating in the webinar about dreams I did not submit my question. Reason being up front at the beginning of the webinar they stated they will not be interpreting dreams. The webinar is to prepare one to look into their own dreams and equip you with the right tools. I felt the question I was going to ask would have gone against their instruction. See, I do yield when it is appropriate. During this webinar things spoke about started to sound familiar here and there. I checked and sure enough I already took this class prior (the full class that is being offered.)  Maybe it is time for me to re-visit the class videos at this time in my life. You know, I could possibly glean a bit more in this season of my life. Sort of like I learned when I took the class, but now different aspects may pop up to help me now. The golden nuggets have been there all along, but there may be more now that speak to me in this season that perhaps didn't speak to me when I last took the class. Sort of like this analogy, when reading the bible, you perhaps know a scripture verse for you have read it many times but there is that 1 day when it just becomes illuminated to you.

Right after the class I had to go into Franklin to return a few things to Marshall's and then off to Brentwood, The Fresh Market, to be exact. I saw a decaf coffee the last time I was there that intrigued me, it was a Spring featured coffee. Well guess what, it was not that flavor but the decaf Wild Blueberry Pie I ended up purchasing. They really do flavor their coffees nicely. I do not mind spending the money because they really are yummy if you can describe coffee like that. I brewed some today and it is good. I actually added a bit more cinnamon to my coffee cup, even though cinnamon was 1 of the ingredients in this flavored decaf coffee. After there I stopped at the TJ Maxx/Homegoods store, and nothing really intrigued me. I get on the highway heading back home. I begin to cry on my journey home. I heard a testimony that made me feel sad for this person and I began to cry and cry out to God to help them in their life. I would call this weeping intercession. I knew to not continue on the highway and to take the Arno Road route back to another connector highway leading me home. Good thing because I was really weeping/crying hard. I know this route very well since I worked for a few years in Franklin and knew this familiar route home. Good thing I knew it because I was crying, and it was sort of driving on familiar roads and not having to concentrate if taking a different route home. The crying/intercession subsided then onto praying/crying for a situation in a cousin's family members life. Then it turns a bit from that, and I find myself putting demands on God my Faher in heaven while I am still crying hard again. I was saying to Him You showed me this and that and these dreams and these words You spoke to me, and I am placing a demand on them now, no more waiting. I was not looking for or seeking the things He showed me when He showed me at the time He showed it to me, and I wanted to know why He gave them to me. Then it subsided as I was nearing home. My crying/interceding session lifted from me.

When I woke up this morning, I asked God to forgive me for ranting and raving last night and placing a demand on what was shown to me. He is so loving and kind to me He told me it did not bother Him that I shared with Him what I did, for that's what friends do. He was not offended by my words. Amen and Amen. When I cry heavy like I did last night I may tend to wake up with sinus stuff going on from the heavy crying. I was prepared this morning. I drew a hot bath with a combination of Dr. Teal's foaming bath scented eucalyptus & spearmint mixed with a sprinkle of peppermint twist bath salts. I then used Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle shampoo that has peppermint, tea tree & eucalyptus. Are you following my pattern? Utilizing scents that will open up your sinus'. I followed up with a body creme that does the same. I wanted to take it a step further, my aromatherapy scent was Deep Breathe blend of peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil & lavender oil. That is my remedy to combat sinus stuff. Utilize items that will open up your sinuses, it worked.

This is kind of humorous to close out this blog. Years ago, I used to create and mix up my own scents of anointing oil to use for prayer and to add some to bath water too. My how I have grown out of that phase. If I should ever get a nudge to start it again at least I kind of have an idea how to do it.

What Is The Purpose Of Me Remaining In TN When My Heart Strings Are Trying To Pull Me Back Home To Ohio?

This has been sort of a struggle for me off & on for a few years now. I find contentment for a season or two living in TN. I then get restless and want to RUN back to Ohio. Why is this? Is it because I find comfort in knowing places & people along with familiar sights, sounds and scents too? I felt led last night to play softly the song, "Wonderful" continually throughout the night on the other side of my apartment, quite honestly in the bedroom I thought was my main bedroom. Until I realized the comfort in sleeping in the guest bedroom. I get up this morning with a question I want to submit in a webinar I am going to participate in about dreams. I have done this before, and I hear Holy Spirit when He helps me compose the questions I submit. They don't get selected in the Q & A portion of the webinar. A friend of mine told me months ago that it could be the questions that appear to be selected may be pre-planned and set in place for the person conducting the webinar to answer. I do not know the answer to that simple question. It could be that maybe my questions are not broad range enough to answer for the many people to relate to.

As I lay in bed, I begin to compose my question for today. If you consistently have dreams about remaining where you currently live in a region, but your heart is drawing you back home to another region of the country. Will God's blessing remain upon your move, meaning doors will open for you or is it better to seek wisdom in a dream showing you what awaits you in the region you want to move back to, be it good or bad? That is my question. I then arise and walk into the living area of my apartment. No sooner do I open up the door to this area I smell a beautiful scent in the atmosphere. Like the scent of fresh linen or fresh laundry. I then get my book that explains the meaning of scents one may smell. It was a cross between 2 things listed. There was not an explanation in the book for the 2 scent choices I smelled. Here are the explanations: "SOAP-Cleansing; WHITE LINEN PERFUME-Clothed with His Righteousness." I knew to then draw a bath trying to emulate the scent I smelled. I found a combination of Santorini Vine & Neroli Iris. As the bath water was running and I went to check on the water level in the tub I walked right into the same scent I smelled as I arose this morning. Only God can do that right? I wonder if the author of the book wears White Linen Perfume because the Estee Lauder scent I wear "Knowing" is not listed in the same book. If you lined up a few scents of perfume and White Linen was 1 of the scents, I feel pretty confident that I would be able to pick it out. That is because of the years I worked for Estee Lauder and became familiar with the perfume scents I sold to customers. Maybe I should go to an Estee Lauder counter in a department store and smell a whiff of White Linen. May be the start of another journey for me?

 

Tandem Bicycle, Very Interesting Word Given To Me Yesterday 3/21/2022 While Sitting On The Grass After Finishing A Book BY Jennifer Eivaz, "Prophetic Secrets Learning The Language Of Heaven."

I sat on the grass in the green space yesterday and read from this book on my lunch break. I knew 1 thing after work, go on the opposite side of my apartment building and sit in a chair on the grass and finish reading the book. I sensed to bring a little notebook of mine because I knew Holy Spirit was going to speak to me through writing. That is exactly what happened. It was around 5:25PM when I received the words. Before I share a portion of the words with you let me explain that while I sit on the grassy areas near my apartment Holy Spirit shows me things and speaks to me. If you are a friend of His, He will speak to you if you are willing to be open and listen to Him speak. I happened to be on the side not far in distance from the community pool. It was peaceful outside with hearing people talking to each other inside their apartments because they had their door open. Even with background noise you can still receive from Holy Spirit. It is as though I hear the outside noises, but I hear Holy Spirit stronger if that makes sense.

He started out asking me a question about why I vacillate when it comes to divine destiny. My response to Him was I am hypersensitive to my surroundings & I see, I observe, I pick up in the spirit & I see details that others may not notice. I went on to share with Him that all in all I am a detail-oriented person. He then responded to me that I am made in His image & did He not pay attention to details when He called forth things like day & night. He corrected me with saying for me to not look down upon myself or criticize myself when He placed within me the ability for details. He then spoke something more detailed and pertains to my life. Then He went on to explain the tandem bicycle built for 2. Is it not easier when both pedal together then 1 taking on the entire burden of going from point A to point B. I am dealing with something in my life now and He told me it is He pedaling with me on the bicycle built for 2. I am to relax and let Him help me get to where I need to go to receive the abundant blessing. Prizes so big & grand it will fill me with joy unspeakable.

Last night before I went to bed I received an email from Kathie Walters ministry. I briefly read it then read it again the next morning. As I was reading it I kept thinking to myself, yes, this describes me. "The fanatic in the attic is your best friend" You either listen to the fanatic in the attic that represents your spirit man or the other choice is to listen to the "fella in the cellar" which represents your mind realm. It was so good that I ordered the CD teaching on this. As I got out of bed this morning I sought Holy Spirit for scripture guidance. I hear Him say Isaiah 2: 10 and I read it. In this chapter in my bible it mentions arrogant people 3 times and several times it references (4 times) about people being humbled. I think that could probably preach pretty good if you did a word search about these 2 words in this chapter.

I found another song on the Christy Nockels CD I played in "repeat" mode for many hours today. I may play it throughout the night too. This song is beautiful and it is titled "Wonderful." Enjoy it and may it bring peace be still to your home & heart.

I Recently Saw A Video About Double Yolk Eggs, They Really Are Not That Hard To Find If You Search In The Right Places. I Feel Led To Re-Publish A Blog About Them I Wrote 10/20/2012 @ 6:25PM

I recently saw a video on double yolk eggs and how it is unusual to find them. I began to think back, and I used to purchase them when I lived in GA. I then began to think maybe there is something to the video I saw, and I called Jaemor Farms in Alto, GA to see if you can still get them. Yes, you can, a local farmer brings them into the farm market. You can get 1 dozen for 4.99. That is a good deal. They are not duck eggs either, but they come from chickens. I would take the time now and then to drive to Alto GA from Flowery Branch GA in search of these eggs. If you are ever in the Alto GA area, I recommend calling them @ 770-869-3999 to see if they have any double yolk eggs that day. If they do don't wait too long because they tend to sell out. Sometimes I would then go to a small Amish goods store I do believe it was called Katie's and get a few bulk items that are packaged in smaller quantity. It was great for getting ingredients for baking. On occasion, the owner would bring back fresh Gulf shrimp and he would put it in ice for me to travel back home. They were huge in size and then I would make my shrimp with pasta dish for the family. Then I would head up to the mountains in Helen GA for my time of refreshing. It really is beautiful in the mountain region of GA.

I got up today and followed Holy Spirit direction to go to a particular Kroger's. I run into a co-worker and then I recognized a former co-worker when I worked at Cracker Barrel. Now I want you to pay attention to the Holy Spirit connection ok. I knew she was moving to a new place, and I would often pray for her when I would go past it while driving somewhere. I had no way to get in touch with her, but I liked working with her. I say to my co-worker oh I got to talk with Peggy. I look at Peggy and say her name. Here we are talking in between the frozen food section and the dairy section. She moved from that location, and I told her how I would pray for her when I would drive by the other location not knowing she moved. She is living with a child on a piece of property that has land. See, she used to have chickens before they sold their home when I worked with her. Still has chickens so I asked her if she has double yolk eggs. She knows how to tell which one's are double yolk. I asked her if I could buy some eggs from her. She wants to give them to me and not pay for them. We exchanged phone numbers and she gave me her address. Is that not God? Yes, it is. I heard, I went and found friendly faces of people I know too. God is in the little things too, not just the big things in your life. Yesterday I had to purchase some more communion sets at a local Christian store. While there I browsed through the CD collection and found Christy Nockels "Into The Glorious" for only 2.00. I purchased it and found a song I like. I know I will find other favorites on the CD but I have to continue on with this song in "repeat" mode. I think it is a beautiful love song that is touching the strings of my heart. I know how Holy Spirit works with me, there will be other songs to play in "repeat" mode after this one. How do I know, I already listened once to the songs on the CD. May you enjoy this song.

Love Can Build A Bridge

Be blessed with this oldie but goody re-post that I titled " Where do I go when I want a touch of home? The Mountains of course. Look what I found on my trip there today." :

When I get an urge to go back home I travel to the mountain area where I live currently. It was a gorgeous day today with the sun shining and the leaves are starting to change colors now. I got in the car with the sunroof open and off to the area where I have clarity to think and beauty surrounds me. Being in settings like this cause me to be most grateful to God of all the things He does for me. It is away from the hustle and bustle of traffic. One of the stops I went to allowed me to purchase double-yolk farm eggs. They are delicious. One thing is that you have to clean them off when you get them home. They come from a farm so you need to clean the outer shells before you consume them or place them in the refrigerator. Picked up a few apples and some garden tomatoes too.



See the difference between a regular egg and the double-yolk egg.



Not the best picture since it was taken through my windshield but it is just a hint of what I get to enjoy on my little excursions.

Next stop to the store that so reminds me of home. They carry Amish goods so similar to a place I use to shop back home. On one of my trips I brought them one of the items I purchased from the other store to show them how similar their packaging and labels are. I even tell them that when I need a "shot in the arm" of home I travel to this store because they carry products also from the state I use to live in. For a few brief moments I feel like I am back home. Why do I miss home sometimes? I guess that is natural when you were born and raised in one particular state or region, it is who you were. While I was driving this thought came to me. I was thinking about having to clean the shells of the eggs when I got home and I then began to think about how we all had gunk and dirt and stuff like that on us before we accepted Jesus into our hearts. When we invited Him into our hearts and lives it was the washing of the word of God that cleansed us along with the blood of Jesus that He shed so we could live a life with Him. Not just here and now but for eternity too. Heaven bound that is the place to be. Maybe I yearn for something more because I will not be completely satisfied until I reach my true home which is heaven. The things of this world can tend to bog you down at times and thinking about heaven and the work we will have awaiting us when we arrive there makes me real happy. Do not let the things of this world bog you down but lift yourself up read the bible and surely something there will lift your spirit. There is so much wealth of wisdom in the bible that it should cause you to want to get away sometimes and just soak it in.
Heaven is for real and we will all be somewhere for all of eternity will it be heaven or hell? Only you can answer that question. If you would like the opportunity to select an answer right now and it is for heaven then let me lead you in this prayer that will take you on the start of your journey. Pray this prayer with me, "Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please forgive me and wash me clean from the sin and filth in my life. I try daily to live a good and clean life but I always seem to fall down. Pick me up and wash me clean and enter my life and heart to make me Your child. My sins are forgiven through You and what You did for me so I could live with You for all eternity in heaven. I believe that You were born and walked this earth. You chose to come to earth through the womb of Mary Your mother and live and walk this earth. You also chose to die on the cross and accept being beaten and receiving the stripes on your back. You suffered, died and three days later You rose from the dead. You are not dead and buried somewhere right now but You are alive and interceding for me right now. Thank you for that love that I could probably never re-pay You and for the gift You so freely give to me to allow me to change my life; live for You and with You with the help of the Holy Spirit. When I take my last breath here on earth I will be with You forever and all eternity in heaven. I am so grateful that You gave me this opportunity today to accept You into my heart. I love and trust You with my life. Amen"
Holy Spirit I ask you to seal the very words upon the heart of those that pray this prayer and invite Jesus into their hearts. Comfort them and teach them the things of God. Help direct them to a church that teaches the true word of God and will allow them to grow in the things of Christ. You are so awesome Holy Spirit and I am most grateful that you direct our paths and lead us to a safe place where we can invite Jesus into our hearts. That was my prayer for you. Did you know that the moment you invited Jesus into your heart that angels in heaven rejoiced? They rejoiced over you and your name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life. That is real important because one day it will be checked to see if you will enter into heaven. Congratulations and welcome to the family of God.

May I Share This Recent Family Story With You, It Is Endearing I Must Admit.

This past week I received an email from one of my cousins. An email that caused my curiosity to be sparked. She wanted my address because she was going to send me an item that my daughter, Katie made for her father, lovingly referred to as Uncle Bill. I had to think back because I just could not imagine what the item was. There was no mention in the email of what it was, just that she thought I would like it. My daughter is 36 years old presently, so I was guessing it was something she made when she was a child. My uncle is deceased, and I am guessing she was going through some of his things and found this. My sister said it must have touched my uncle that he kept it all of these years. Imagine that!

The package came in the mail, and I opened it up to find this pillowcase in which she drew pictures on it. I examined it closer, and it looked like some sort of pillowcase in which you would do some type of embroidery or sewing design with little patterns outlined here and there. She drew pictures on this, and it was apparently for Easter. It sure did touch my heart to see my little Katie did this and it remained in my uncle's possession for years. So sweet, do you agree.

Perfect timing to be receiving this because I will bring it to her when I make the journey back home to Ohio for a visit. It is good to go home and be with both of my children. My son is also coming to Ohio during this time. Oh my gosh, I guess we are going to go to all the familiar places we enjoyed throughout the years we lived there. Let's see, Corky & Lenny's Jewish Deli. I know Nashville has Noshville Deli but it is not quite like a Jewish deli I am used to, just no comparison. Gee, it is so close in distance to my alma mater, John Carroll University that I have to drive through the campus for old times' sake. Then I want to stop at the Lourdes Shrine sometime because it was a place of retreat for us during the hard times in the marriage. The nuns were so kind to me. They showed me how to pray for the children at the Catholic school that had some fear. I followed their instructions they gave to me.

Christopher wants to go to Dubrovnik Gardens restaurant, a Croatian restaurant. I have to stop at R & D Sausage for the good stuff, kielbasa and they also make smoked dried sausages too. He packs them so I can travel with them. My family growing up used to purchase and eat their rice sausage and blood sausage too. Endearing ethnic comfort food until I figured out what was in the blood sausage. I remember the best way to prepare those particular sausages was in a cast iron pan in the oven. You flipped them over halfway and the outer part of the sausage had a wonderful crispness to it. Maybe I will get some for when my mom and sister come for a short visit with me in May.

Then we have to go to Little Italy to Presti's pizza/bakery. Then Kuhar's to-go restaurant for Slovenian type. I guess there will be not much cooking for me to do on this visit. Off to Vermilion to visit my spiritual mom and view the eagles and go sit by the beach I used to write by. I do plan on going to church @ CNC where I used to attend and truly did receive much bible training in the word of God. I was trained in Evangelism Explosion and deliverance ministry. I also sang in the choir there, I was an alto. I wonder if the kind usher, Hanz is still serving there. He would always get me a good seat when he seated me. Do you think I can play the rain stick there? Now silly, I know enough to ask and get permission before playing it there.

I have been intrigued with the Bob Jones Gulliver prophecy lately and will probably stop in Cincinnati and Columbus on the way either there or back home. I will be in Cleveland. So, I have had some connection in my lifetime with 5 of the cities mentioned in this prophecy: Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Atlanta & Nashville. Do you think I have to pay attention to this prophecy?

My dear sweet Katie has a bunny on the pillowcase. She currently has 2 bunnies as her pets. This is kind of funny. I have to see if I still have plastic Easter eggs to put bunny treats in. She said if they can smell the treat inside the eggs, they will figure out a way to open the eggs to get to the treat. Imagine that the grown kids don't want to have an Easter egg hunt with money in the eggs, but I guess the bunnies do. So much planning for me to do. As a mom I love doing this.

I got an idea, when my mom & sister come for a visit, I just have to make a grandma family favorite cake for them to enjoy. Graham Cracker Nut cake with orange buttercream frosting. I know without even asking them about it they will like my selection. As we enjoy the cake it will be like grandma is sitting with us at least in spirit as her recipe lives on amongst us. How sweet, how sweet, indeed how sweet. I hope you enjoy my daughter's little piece of artwork; it sure does warm my heart.

One more stop in Ohio. I have to see if I can connect with my dear college friend, Marybeth. We go back many years and when we get together on the phone or in person we sure do laugh a lot. Now, that's friendship do you agree.

I would be remiss if I didn't include making time to visit with my former mother-in-law, I love her.

I Went To TJ Maxx & Returned The Items. It Was A Great Experience, May I Share.

I was at TJ Maxx right when the store opened today. I spoke with the manager and the items were returned along with the 39.99 item that was never wrung up yesterday along with the pair of earrings. I did ask him if he would contact the other store manager to let them know about the mix up. Thank God the dressing room was opened today because I tried on a few things. I found one item that is interesting, I think it is supposed to be a beach cover up of some sort, but I see it through the eyes of creativity. I am not quite sure, so I asked the person running the dressing room if it looked ok with a top underneath it. I told her to be honest with me even after she told me it looked fine. Then she said something pretty profound, "Don't doubt yourself." She is right, why do I tend to doubt myself sometimes when I have a flair for putting together outfits. Oh, I purchased the pearl earrings and when I got home, I cleaned them before putting them in my ear lobes. They have a tropical look to them and will go fine with this top. I already started to put together items in my wardrobe that will work with this new addition.

I had a good pair of fine quality pearl earring studs. I lost 1 of them a few years ago so this was my simple solution. At the time I was working at Cracker Barrel, so I had my employee discount. They had a cheapy pair of pearl earring studs I bought. I would chuckle sometimes when I would wear pearl earrings because I guess you probably could not figure out which one was authentic and the other not. I knew the difference because the good quality had a 14K yellow gold earring post. The other day I went to wear my pearl earrings and the actual post that goes in your ear lobe broke right off. I could have purchased another pair of pearl stud earrings, but I found a pair of pearl drop style earrings. I will not lose an earring post back and lose the earring because there is an enclosure so as to not lose the earrings.

Why was I doubting myself today to begin with? I did the just and honorable thing this morning with returning items not wrung up back to the store and then purchasing the one item, the earrings. See, God had a special surprise tucked in this journey today. I do love nail polish too. Found a new soft lilac color of nail polish. I had to get it when I saw the name of the color, "Purple Palazzo Pants" so me isn't it. I already polished my nails with it, and it is a soft, feminine color. Who said femininity went out of style, it will never go out of style? At least in my eyes it will not go out of style. God created woman to walk in and enjoy her femininity.

A Wink & A Word Is An Apology, Let Me Share How The Revelation Came To Me If I May.

Late this afternoon Kynan Bridges prayed a prayer that I participated in. No sooner did I do that, and Holy Spirit released in me the power of an apology. When I forgave others and did not hold back on forgiveness, I was able to see forgiveness that was extended to me a few weeks ago. When one likes to follow rules that sort of limits opportunities that just may be missed because your rule following can put constraints on you. Learn to flow more and expect to expect the supernatural, when you do let go you will be amazed at how free your life can be.

I am always learning, and I am glad that I still can be open to receive and not close off learning. After work today I had to go into Franklin to see if a couple of cute tops I saw on Sunday were still @ the TJ Maxx. I also had to return a couple of items too. The 2 particular tops I was going to buy last Sunday were not there anymore. That is the chance you take when shopping at this type of store. The checkout line was so long on Sunday that I just left my cart with the items I was going to buy and went home. No items were worth waiting in such a long line. I felt compelled today to go back to that particular store. I found a few items to try on until I was informed the dressing rooms were closed. My first inclination was to ask if it was related to covid. The response was no but it was because they do not have enough help/people wanting to work in the store to keep open the dressing rooms for the rest of the day. At first, I was a bit miffed and said I have to buy all of these items and take them home to try them on to then return them if I didn't like them? That was pretty much the only choice in this matter.

I returned the 2 items and then purchased 5 items. Should have been an easy transaction, right? Guess what, it was not. I just don't understand people not feeling the need to work which pushes extra work on those that do show up for work. I thought it was not enough as a total with all the items I had in my cart. I even inquired are you sure you rang up the pearl earrings. The employee assured me they rang them up. I am leaving the store and I see the one older woman that I may have been a bit miffed while talking to her about the dressing room situation. I knew in my heart to apologize to her for the way I acted. I thanked her for showing up at work to do her work. I saw empathy for her having to be older in age and extra work put on her. We both agreed that our generation are the people that go to work, we show up at work when are supposed to be there and we do work. She shared how her back was hurting her after her work shift. I think I told her to be blessed or something to that affect and she thanked me.

Yes, Christians that maybe don't get their own way sometimes can raise their tone with others. If in those moments, you take the time to hear the full story you would then not raise the tone in your voice. I remember the days when I worked retail and not my back hurt, but my feet would hurt after a long shift. When you worked for Estee Lauder back in the day there was no wearing tennis shoes with your uniform. Maybe flat shoes but the cute shoes really were high heels of some sort. When we would have executive visits to our store, I would wear the cute shoes to match my uniform and felt the aftereffects while driving home and that evening. Achy feet.

I get home and the only item I liked was the pearl earrings. I then began to examine my receipt and the return receipt. It is pretty not accurate and now another manager at a local TJ Maxx is going to have to deal with this confusion. I was never charged for the replacement pair of earrings like the employee assured me it was an exchange. I was charged for 4 clothing items but not correctly charged. I was charged 2 times for the same item @ 19.99 each and not charged for 1 item that was 39.99. Oh my goodness that is about 50.00+ something dollars that I was not even charged for on the bill. If I was not a Christian doing the right thing I could have looked at it like a blessing to me. That is just not right to call human error a blessing is it. Tomorrow I will go to the local TJ Maxx to return 4 items and explain 2 were rung up of the same, 1 was not even charged for, along with another item too. Could this have all been spared if they would have had enough employees to keep open the dressing rooms? Yes, people get out and work ok so the burden is not just placed on some people.

Was A Bit Disappointed On Sunday When Attending Ken Fish Church Service.

I was up early Sunday morning to get to the first church service in Nashville. Even though I got home a little late the night before when I drove about 80 miles to attend a Joan Hunter service. He shared and I did take notes. I believe he called out 3 words of knowledge but none of them were geared towards me, so I did not come forward. He did not get off of the platform to minister to the people, but the local church prayer team did the ministering to the people. I contacted the church that was hosting this to see if Ken was going to bring ministry products for purchase. They did not know so I reached out to Ken's ministry, and they thought he would be bringing with him his products bag. After the service I inquired and there were no ministry products for purchase. Guess what? I actually fell on the cement sidewalk while walking to this church that morning. I picked myself up and kept walking to the church. I started thinking maybe I am not supposed to be here today after the fall. Apparently, this church merged with another church, and this is the location where they meet. I don't know, now that I have been in both church locations now, I think the other church location is much more beautiful, especially the stained-glass windows, pipe organ and small chapel that was on the lower level. I think I felt a stronger presence of angels at the other location. I am just sharing my observations. Both churches have those old stone type of steps you climb to get to the church door entrance.

This was my opportunity to ask the one pastor why I never received a correspondence response from their mother-in-law about deliverance ministry when I sent an email as I was directed the last time Ken was in town for a conference. You know what the answer was? Covid first then it was followed up that the tornado hit Nashville. I never waited on them for deliverance ministry because it was quite obvious, I was not going to get a response back then. I sought out the ministry in Tampa that trained me in deliverance and was a part of an online meeting deliverance via computer. I get a little impatient when ministries don't follow through. How hard was it to send a brief response to my inquiry? I seemed to have misplaced my car keys while at the church and began to walk to my car and discovered I couldn't find them in my purse. Sure, enough a kind volunteer approached me from the church and asked me if I was looking for them. I was most thankful when he told me a kid found them, so he began to walk outside to see if anyone was looking for their keys where they parked. I thanked him for his kindness. I had a scraped knee from falling and I really did not feel like back tracking and climbing all of those stairs again to see if my keys were in the church.

It wasn't a total disappointing day though. I went to the deli to drop off a small pastry plate for last weekend's waitress I met. This time she wasn't working so I sat at the counter and ordered breakfast. I sat on the end stool and a man came in with his teenage son and sat next to me. I struck up a conversation with him about the one waitress that sang an Ohio song last weekend. Comes to be, this is an eye doctor. I share about my most recent eye exam. His credentials were quite impressive. It all started out about Ohio. He went to Case Western Reserve University and went back home after 2 weeks. He attended another college, then further education and became an ophthalmologist. He was also at one time a professor at a prestigious university but has a practice now. I asked him if people from Murfreesboro comes to his practice. He responded in a modest manner that people come from other states and other countries too for him to do eye surgery on them. He told me about eye lenses replacements and the procedure takes about 5 minutes and the follow up is not hard just using eye drops. I had to ask another question since he frequents this deli. Does anyone else that is known come here. Well, when Vince Gill is not touring with The Eagle's, and he comes to the deli. He sits in the very seat I sat in. How interesting is that.

I get home and call my friend that could not make the Ken Fish church service in person, so they viewed the live stream @ 11:00AM. I heard Holy Spirit say don't stay for both services just the 9:00AM service. Now I knew why, sounds like he preached the same message he preached at the first service. Even the same golf story example was shared at both services. I think my mission that day was to go and bless the waitress with homemade poppyseed walnut cake and triple chocolate mint cake too.

My Saturday night mission was to bless Joan Hunter and her team that night. I prepared a pastry tin for them to enjoy after their time of ministry. I also enclosed a copy of the prophetic warning dream I had about the covid vaccine, since I make mention of her in this as she was used as a confirmation that very day, I had the dream. I was blessed with being able to purchase ministry products that night. I met the most delightful baby boy that evening. He and his mother sat next to me. Did you ever communicate with a baby just through your eyes and smiles too? He did not speak yet, but I sure could get him to giggle and smile. I think even a baby can see Jesus in the eyes of another just like an adult can see Jesus in the eyes of a child.

I Have Had Very Active Dreams The Last 2 Days. Do You Think I Should Sleep In My Other Bedroom Tonight So As To Not Have This Sort Of Dream In My Sleep Time?

You know by now I am a very detail-oriented dream person right. I had 2 detailed dreams 2 days in a row. Both dealing with some sort of violence or threats in the dreams. First dream I saw a huge white multi-level box type of house. I was outside of this house but was able to know what was going on inside. There was a car parked outside a bit away from the house. I heard a couple of women fighting on an upper level of the house. It sounded like it was going to get violent, maybe one of them had a knife (after the dream I heard the words "cutthroat" describing the type of fight they were having.) A cutthroat type of person is one that will do whatever it takes to get their way, at the cost of no matter what. I was sense seeing this outside of the house. There were actually 3 women in this house somehow connected but 2 were definitely fighting. They heard me say even though I was outside that I am going to leave and tell on them. I see the car and go towards the car to get in, I was in a hurry to beat them to the car before they would try to stop me from getting in the car to go and tell of this happening. It was like instantly they heard me & were chasing after me to try to get in the car 1st before me. How that happened I don't know. I must have somehow got in the car to go & tell. Next scene I am in close proximity to the person I was to go & tell what happened. It was an outside scene. This person was outside on the grass. I didn't want them to see me as I was sitting in a circle type of section in the same grass not far distance wise from them. It was pretty and was as if I was sitting in the center of this grass section. It was all flowers from the center outward in this circle were flowers each were concentric colors of the rainbow starting from the center outward. I was sitting in the very center. It was the style of circular rows with each row being individual colors of the full rainbow section-not mixed colors amongst them, but each section was an individual color of the rainbow spectrum in flowers form. Then I looked up and a woman was elevated above the scene looking down on this scene and she was seated. Next thing I had a handful of feather plume type (the style like a plume pen but without the pen portion of it.) They were all light beige in color & I searched through them & found the fullest looking 1 & handed it to her. She did a gentle wave motion with it. Next thing I see in digital block type style I saw MARCH then in digital style 25 & 26. It was revealed to me who the 3 women were that were in the house. The 3 were fighting amongst themselves over a person.

Today's dream this morning 3/16/2022 I was in a smaller sized room with 2 other people. One of them was a woman for sure and they both had European type of accents but spoke broken English in this dream. First, I am shown 2 wasps moving around on a wooden type of wall. Not wood paneling but actual wood sections (rows) side by side to create the wooden wall. As I am seeing the 2 wasps the one woman told me they were going to kill me (meaning the 2 people in the dream), I responded No you are not. Then the woman said in her broken English manner of speaking that they were going to kill my boss. I thought for an instant second and realized it was not my immediate boss but the main boss over me. When I realized how high up this boss was in authority (which my knower just knew), I responded in a firm response No you are not! They then left and the dream was over. I rose to the occasion in the dream and took authority in both threats attempted to be spoken to me and it caused the threats to dissipate. If you walk in the authority Jesus gives you in the natural, it will rise up inside of you even in dream time.

Uh Oh Baking Anointing Came Upon Me Today.

Yep, it sure did come upon me today. I was inspired to make the triple chocolate cake. Instead of adding chocolate pudding to the mix I had to make a little St. Patrick's Day spin on this recipe. I added York Peppermint chocolate pudding to replace the recipe ingredient of chocolate instant pudding. I also did a mixture of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips too. I then made my homemade cocoa buttercream frosting in which I flavored with peppermint extract to just lightly frost the top of the Bundt cake. This recipe is quite a moist tasting cake. People always like it when I make it. The cake is out of the oven now cooling and I will frost it later. Do you think if I should get married someday this baking anointing will lift from me? What if my husband to be does not like their wife baking or cooking? I have to think about things like that now and then. Oh my, I think I bake now to occupy my time because I do not just want to sit idle if that makes sense.

I pray, I write, I do creative projects. I like creative sort of projects because that releases the creativity inside of me including my patio garden and feeding the hummingbirds. I am thankful that the sun is melting the snow on the sidewalks by me. I still have 2 more projects I have to work on today. Did I tell you my life really is fun, it is?

My 1st Allegiance Is To God Almighty, Not Man, Woman Or Even A Child. I Have To Follow His Voice This Weekend. True Test Of Faith In My Very Life.

There are 3 possible events going on this weekend. 2 I am permitted to go to, 1 am forbidden to go to. I stopped whining and complaining in this area of my life. I can honestly say this if I may. A year ago, I would have chosen 1 of the 3 over all of the choices. I am seeing that I truly am yielding to the will of God in my life. I am most grateful as tears well up in my eyes as I share today. The day I drove to Manchester/Tullahoma I heard the voice of the Lord where not to go this weekend. Holy Spirit knew my heart of sympathy was going to try and let me think it was ok to go even though I heard the voice of Holy Spirit. It was on the day of fasting and praying that He quietly spoke to me again, do not go. I will not go. See, I have faith enough to believe He could send my angel to that gathering in place of me physically going if He wanted to.

I am a person drawn to things by my heart, you should know that by now. I gave my word about something, and I cannot draw back on it. My hands are tied so to speak and until they are untied, I have to stay clear if that makes sense. A wink and a word will not take the place of an apology. There comes a time when one must be humble and actually apologize. I so easily forgive others, but I have also grown in wisdom of the Lord this past year. I am not walking into a situation in which intercessors are there to pray against the love of God in my heart. The glory of God that shines forth because I love, trust and obey Holy Spirit. I am sorry if you do not like what I have sacrificed for in my life to let my desires be put on hold so to speak to go on journeys with Holy Spirit. I have cultivated this freedom because I was set free from the bondage of being controlled by others years ago. When I am somewhere and I see or sense this certain group of women it tends to be, it is like a spirit of lack of freedom blankets the atmosphere. I cannot explain it but let me tell you I have experienced it and know what I am talking about. This time, Holy Spirit is not allowing me to sit under this attempted bondage. Maybe you do not care but I certainly do. When I have experienced this by 5  (why does this number keep increasing instead of decreasing?) particular women intercessors over a period of time it causes me to wonder. I see that they are gaining more and more control that is given to them. I have experienced each one of these women giving me not very nice looks when I see them at events. Why? I struggled with this for a long time and would ask my friends why do they give these looks to me. I am filled with the joy of the Lord and for some reason the anointing spills forth when I am at where I am supposed to be, where Holy Spirit guided me to go. I think they may not like the freedom I flow in or maybe I am trampling on their hidden desires within their very hearts. It is the look like "What is she doing here."

I am sure Jesus must have gotten that look plenty of times. Guess what He did, He continued on in being there and did not let the naysayers cause Him to back down and back away right. I tend to do the same thing. They give the nasty look to me and I shut my eyes and worship Jesus. If He calls me to interact with another I do so. I am sometimes a bit uncomfortable in doing so in the waiting moments leading up to the interaction but when the moment is there all the apprehension melts away and the purpose is done. To bring glory to God and that is why I yield, the greater glory truly does go to God and not man.

Yesterday on my lunch break I sat in the green space where I reside to absorb the warmth while reading. I paused and followed instruction by Jennifer Eivaz in a book I am reading. I followed instruction and I saw Jesus by the water on a beach and He was beckoning with His hand motion to me to come to Him as He was cooking a meal over fire on the beach. I went and we talked. Right there, outside on the courtyard area of where I reside. I asked Him a pertinent question and He re-assured me once again even though it looks so impossible in the natural right now. I even told Him that. I have to trust in this matter. So, as I am heading back inside I see Phoebe, the most adorable little dog of neighbors of mine laying in her bed outside on the patio just resting. I say hello to Phoebe and talk to her like she knows what I am saying to her. She gets up from her bed and walks to the patio fencing to greet me. No barking just her wagging her tail. Her owners shared with me how she really likes me because she only gives her paw to someone she really likes. She did that the other day when I was visiting with them. You know what, I sang her a lullaby the other day, the very one I made up years ago and used to sing to my children. Yes I did. Her owners tell me she wants to go to my apartment I respond it is because of the angels that are here. Animals are very sensitive to the presence of God. I tell my neighbors all the time I am really not a pet person and I am not good at training them either. Too much work and I like the freedom of picking up and just going and not having to worry about what am I going to do with my pet. It is that freedom within that I do not want to be tied down and constrained by surrounding circumstances holding me back from freedom to go. For some reason I am drawn to little Phoebe though. You know sort of like being a grandparent. The children come for a visit and you can indulge them but when the visit is over they then go home for their parents to do all the work portion of taking care of the children. Grandparents have the luxury of having fun and playing but not the work we all did when we were active parenting the children's parents. Does that make sense?

I went to the eye doctor yesterday and all is well with the health of my eyes. I do not even have to upgrade my prescription. I have a great vision insurance plan and what do I do with my 1 allotted pair of frames and lenses covered for the year now? I brought them some of Grandma's poppyseed cake recipe I made the other day for the office staff. I made a small corned beef the other day. I know I have a free 1 pound of deli corned beef waiting for me to pick up but there just is something about fresh made corned beef you make at home, do you agree? I went to bed last night knowing there would be snow coming during the night. I got up in the middle of the night and saw it coming down. I went back to bed. I pulled all of my plants off of my patio rail yesterday and covered them with a towel last night. I had to protect the tender, growing plants from the harsh outside conditions heading my way. Before I went to bed last night I checked on them. The wind was whipping up pretty good and I had to re-adjust the towel and anchor it with a folded patio camp chair to secure them from the harsh winds and soon coming snow.

Are you protecting your tender heart from the surrounding voices speaking into your life? You should be. My act yesterday was a parable maybe to share with you. The seemingly good ones you allow to speak into your life and heart just may be the very ones out to get something from you. Be cautious of ulterior motives of others under the guise of them praying for you. There comes a time when you have to pull back and not rely on the voices of others but only yield to the voice of the Father. You know better don't you but you feel like maybe it is time to let others do the thinking for you. Don't give in because your miracle is right there, see it, do not let go of it ok. Your miracle is closer than you may sense, don't let go of it. 

I was shown in a brief dream the other day that someone is going to be taken advantage of their good heart/nature by those they trusted. It is not a hopeless dream I had, oh no quite the opposite. I saw this person all by themself is a wheat field with the golden sun shining behind them. No one was behind them because this was a time of personal ministry to them for healing and restoration from this hurt. They were standing with their arms raised up in a light green tee shirt (with no writing on the tee shirt, it was not quite mint green color, but I heard a pale colored fatigue green color.) They had on khaki pants. Then the scene was pulled back a bit to see a person from behind ministering to this person. I was not shown who the ministering minister was in the dream, just that the person was being ministered to. I knew as I woke up that all would be well and someone was sent to minister to the need of another. Not before a crowd of people but personal one-on-one ministry.

As I began to write today, I looked out my patio door window to find a little bird underneath my plant stand. By the time I got my phone to take a picture the bird flew away.

Just before publishing this very blog, I just sang Psalm 36 & 37 out loud to the tune of "Amazing Grace" over this very blog entry today 3/12/2022.

What To Do If You've Had An Evil Impartation

Another Update For 3/10/2022. Lunch Time Is Rest Time With Jesus, Do You Agree?

What a wonderful lunch I had today. I knew to rest and pray in the spirit while I rested. Very interesting how Holy Spirit had me search out a few candles to burn. It is rare that I burn candles anymore because I like the wax melt method. I can create my own scents by mixing this scent with that scent etc. I had to look around because I knew I needed to have the leather scented candle as part of this fragrance atmosphere. I thought to myself, did I give it away to someone? I had it stored in another area then the other 2 large candles. So, all at the same time I had burning these candle scents: At the Beach, Woodsmoke, Suntan and Leather. I laid down and prayed in the spirit then got on my exercise bike and also prayed in the spirit. That was my lunch today. So, in Kathie Walters book, let's see the meaning behind these scents ok.

"Leather: New wineskin being made or needed, luxury"

The closest I could find is "Tanning Oil: Resting in the Spirit, laying out, enjoying basking in His glory"

"Woodsmoke: Burning, cleansing fire of God, Faith"

There was not an explanation for At The Beach.

God is ever so faithful isn't He. I have a fun life in the midst of a regular day do you agree. When I had free time after dinner today I picked up the open bible I shared about in an earlier blog today. I then sang to a simple melody Psalm 37 then Psalm 36. Praise God from whom all blessings flow do you agree?

God Is Moving Rapidly Upon My Fasting & Prayer Today. Let Me Share.

I was guided to get on my exercise bike and pray in tongues. I did. I then feel compelled to get a cup of coffee and get a particular bible of mine that was sitting on my couch. I did but this is interesting. He had me go to a section that actually had a space in-between and go to that page. Easier said than done though. I had to have precision in this particular direction given to me. You know why? He directed me to Psalm 37. I began reading it and tears began to flow. Not sad tears but tears of rejoicing because God is speaking to His people, and He does not forget us. Tears of gladness and rejoicing, not of sadness and slumber. So, then as I finished reading Psalm 37 with tears flowing Holy Spirit says read Psalm 36. I did with tears of rejoicing and with a thankful heart the tears continue to flow. Imagine the rest of my day of fasting and prayer if this is what happened at the start of this new day dawning. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

I could do the easy thing and take a picture of the scriptures I just read. Not today, you have to start to learn how to look up scriptures yourself and read them ok. Seek and you will find. Be open to Holy Spirit teaching you and not just teachings from a university per say.

I Am Called Today To Fast & Pray For TN 3/10/2022

There is so much going on here, there & everywhere quite frankly. You hear the cries of people to fast & pray for the Ukraine, and rightly so. I thought when I woke from a dream today about waste & spending where I work that I was being called to fast & pray in 1 direction, but Holy Spirit pointed me in another direction. Let me share about a recent experience in renewing my license plate tags. I was informed that being a resident in the state of TN that I did not have the option to keep my current plates and I had to trade them in for the new, not so nice looking license plates that were ordered by the current governor of the state of TN. Apparently, he wanted us to have new license plates is what I was told and I could not keep the plates with the old design. They were light in color and much larger print on the plates that stated In God We Trust. These new license plates are dark in color, and you have to request the plates that state In God We Trust. Governor Lee, I voted for you because I was told you are a Christian and you would be good for our state. Remember on election night, I met you @ The Factory and you allowed me to pray a prophetic blessing prayer in which you responded Amen to that blessing prayer?

What happened? I hope you did not give into the establishment out there. Please tell us why something that is so near and dear to a Christian was diminished in size on the new license plates, In God We Trust? Are you changing your religious beliefs in subtle ways to be politically correct now? I would hope not but I have a few questions for you today. I contacted a senator and point blank asked a few questions about these illegals that crashed our safe country illegally from all over the world and are being secretly released into the great state of TN. I was given a response that did not point-blank answer my questions. What percentage are resettled into the county and city where I reside. When speaking with another official in Washington I was told they may not have been able to answer my questions with a percentage number because they are not being told the actual numbers. If I recall correctly, I was to contact the governor's office. Months ago, I contacted your office and basically was not given answers then either. If you didn't want these illegals to resettle originally in our state, then why are you letting them now. You have to stand up and take a firm stance on this matter.

We want to know who, where they resettled from originating country, are they criminals out to harm our communities, and why do they get free housing in apartment communities with brand new furniture given to them also. We love people in the state of TN, but we are not ignorant to the fact that people doing illegal acts to begin with (crashing our southern border illegally and with disregard of our laws) are now flooding our communities with unknown diseases inclusive of physical, mental and spiritual to be quite honest. We want answers, how many are in our state and where are they heavily populated in regions of our state? A breakdown of each city, county and totals in the entire state of TN. Who is looking out for us? We are working and paying taxes and how much or our income is being used to give these illegals all the free perks they are receiving. These are not unreasonable requests of the taxpayers that voted you into office and those that did not vote you into office. You represent us all.

If one has a credit monitoring system in place that notifies you if a sex offender lives in your area, then why cannot the citizens be notified the same if there is a potentially dangerous illegal that is located in your surrounding area? These are grave concerns I have. I am only one voicing these very concerns so I can just imagine how many others are thinking the same thoughts but maybe aren't bold enough to ask the questions I am asking today. Do not grow weary in doing good and stand up for us as the governor of this state. I am one voice crying out in the wilderness whereas you are one loud voice that can take our concerns to greater levels to get answers for us collectively. Stand up for what is right in the eyes of God, not the eyes of man. There is still time to make a shift in our state to bring great glory to God.

I find this interesting that yesterday I felt compelled to pull out a copy of a recipe my grandmother used to bake, Poppyseed Cake with Walnuts. I have looked at this recipe several times now off and on and would just put it back in my recipe folder for another day. Yesterday was the day I actually baked it. I had this desire to somehow connect with one of my grandparents and I found comfort in seeing my grandmother's handwritten recipe and baked it in my residence. Oddly enough, this is 1 of 4 grandparents that was born in the USA while the other 3 immigrated to the USA. All four have the same rich heritage. The other 3 immigrated to our country the legal way via Ellis Island, they did not illegally force their way into our country and get lots of perks for doing so either. They were hard working people that assimilated to the American way. They ran from socialism to live in the freedoms the United States offered them. I find this interesting, this very grandmother of mine would write letters to my grandfather's family for him. When I was a member of the Croatian folk group, and we were getting ready to go to Croatia in 1976 for a convention and then tour the country and perform also as we toured. This very grandmother reached out to my then deceased grandfathers relatives, and they came to meet us for the first time. They brought gifts and treated us wonderful. Many miles away from us we were able to see family resemblances of these relatives across the ocean from us. That is what family is about do you agree. I am going to share Grandma's recipe with you today. I do not know who the people are listed on this recipe. I would guess they must have been good bakers because my grandmother was a wonderful baker and excellent cook too. She probably trusted their baking to write down their recipe do you agree? Now I have to see who Holy Spirit wants me to share Grandma's cake with? I had to adapt it a bit for I did not have a tube pan. I used a Bundt pan and there was so much batter I then filled three smaller sized loaf pans too.

One final thought ... God miraculously opened a door for me to move to TN. Do you think it could have been just for today to fast and pray for TN?

Uh oh I think I see a typo in Grandma's recipe, did you catch it too?
