Before my journey last week to Ohio, I had a tentative appointment scheduled to get the thermostat in my car fixed/replaced. All of a sudden for a few prior days before that the Check Engine light turned off. I spoke with the mechanic, and we agreed to go on the trip with the warning light not being on @ the time. This is very interesting, if it truly is supposed to be the thermostat then I have none of the things happening associated with the thermostat not working properly. No overheating of the engine, temperature gauge regulated and stays in the middle mark section, the heat and air conditioning work normal when I use them, the coolant level is fine, so is the gas cap fine too. So, what can it be because it does frustrate me to see that warning on the dashboard screen while driving? I made the trip all the way to Ohio (NE) not southern Ohio that is. Did a few errands and out of nowhere I am at the Slovenian bakery picking up poppyseed potica for my mom and sure enough, check engine light comes back on? I will not let that stop the things I was brought to Cleveland to be accomplished. The next day we used my car to spend a full day of going places. I went to do things on my own for a day and the warning light is still on. Drove from Cleveland to Vermilion, light is still on. I then drove a few hundred miles from Cleveland, OH to Nashville, TN and arrived home safely yesterday early evening.
I had a song playing in the car on "repeat" mode for this journey back home on Easter Sunday, I found myself singing in tongues either out loud or internally to that song playing over and over again. I did take breaks to talk with family and friends on the approximate 8-hour journey back home. My mother used to like brick cheese and since we left Ohio you just can't find it down south. I found a Giant Eagle store in Columbus, OH and stopped to get some for her. I am beginning to see the big picture now, singing in tongues the many hours I did going to and coming home in the car was setting the ground so to speak for revival to hit Ohio. I keep being intrigued by the Gulliver Prophecy given by Bob Jones and Nashville, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati are all mentioned in that prophecy. Going to OH in 1 direction 5+ hours singing in tongues & coming home in another direction again singing in tongues many hours I just do it in faith people I truly do. I intentionally stopped again in Columbus & Cincinnati while heading back through Nashville. I do not know particular details I just know I did what Holy Spirit called me to do on this journey. Where He guides me, He truly does supply me with the needs being met on His journeys we take together. Amen.
While all of you were enjoying Resurrection Sunday family festivities I was driving and having church so to speak in my car. I was a bit disappointed to not be able to attend my former church service in Lorain but things on the trip were altered. Instead of leaving to head back home on Monday I left yesterday on Resurrection Sunday. One of my children became a little under the weather on this trip and they could not fly back home. They rested and the fever came down and they rented a rental car and drove back home which was even 2 hours longer than my car journey. This is a great testimony too. They were able to rent a car with 1 way drop off and unlimited mileage for only 70.00 plus tax. That is unheard of now a day if you have travelled and rented a car lately. People are paying exorbitant amounts for car rentals. My daughter and her friend both worked for a well know car rental company and told him to double check the amount of the rental was correct. It is more costly for the airport car rental company to rent a vehicle 1 way because that means they have 1 less car in their inventory to lease at their location. He double checked and when he went to pick up the small SUV the total cost was 90.00 plus change and that included the extra 10.00 insurance protection too. He arrived back home safely too. While looking at the weather forecast for yesterday and today 4/18/2022 it showed rain for today and not yesterday, so I left yesterday morning. It did not start to rain until the last 80 miles or so and no rain when I pulled into where I live. I was able to unload the car with no rain. I unpacked all my luggage and other packages too and even put 1 load of laundry in the washer too. I was home in enough time to relax and watch 2 programs last night on PBS.
My question that tends to perplex me a bit. In Ohio my knee did not bother me as much as it tends to do in TN. I slept through the night and slept for a much longer time frame then when I am home in TN. I kept telling my daughter how amazed I was sleeping the way I was sleeping in her house. Is it showing me to get out of TN and back to OH or quit living in an apartment community and live in a house where there is less noise and probably less spirits to deal with of others all living in one building? I really have to seek this one out because I experienced both. Sure enough yesterday when I got out of the car and began unpacking the car doesn't the knee want to act up again as soon as my feet touched ground. This morning I got up @ 4:30AM and in Ohio I would have still been asleep at that time. I need to find the connector dot in this scenario.
The bunnies at my daughters loved their easter egg treats. I bought plastic easter eggs with a few holes in them so they could smell the treats inside the eggs. She filled them with frozen blueberries, fruit punch sour flavored golden raisins and a rabbit treat too. They smelled them and tried to roll them around to open them. We just gently put a little pressure on the egg to help them open them up and boy did they enjoy those special treats. Mrs. Honeybun really does resemble the Cadbury chocolate Easter Bunny in their commercials when they had them on television.
I went where I was supposed to go, I did what I was supposed to do, and I prayed like I was supposed to pray on my road trip adventure with Holy Spirit. Oh, this is important ... 1 of the things on this mission was to place an offering into the church I used to attend, and I thought it was going to be in person at the church service. Well, early Saturday morning I placed the offering online. They were having a special offering to bring a family from the Ukraine to the USA and the funds were being raised to go to this family. See, I thought it was going to work out 1 way but in actuality it worked out another. Trust Holy Spirit and He will be your guide. I can confidently say He is my guide and I trust Him too. Oh when I came back home I checked and the dill seeds I planted are starting to grow now. I also planted 2 lily bulbs and still do not see them coming up yet but that's ok because they had to be planted at least 5 inches below the soil. I also planted 3 lily bulbs in my daughters backyard while visiting.
Oh my goodness, her backyard is so bountiful with a variety of birds she feeds with a few feeders. She sees deer that come in the backyard too. There are 2 sets of ducks living somewhere and we saw a female duck yesterday in the backyard. The other night when she came home she noticed the wild type of rabbits munching on some carrots she left outside for them to eat outside of the fenced backyard. People this is in Cleveland, OH not some country type of setting in Ohio, that amazes me. God takes care of all His creation. If He takes care of the animals He created then how much more does He take care of His children too. Something to ponder on today right. If you do God's work He takes care of your work so to speak. Get the picture?
