It Was Stretch My Faith Day This Morning. Something That Stretches My Faith May Be No Big Deal To You. We Are All On A Journey. The ? Is Do You Respond?

I knew 1 thing today even before I went to bed last night. Try to be @ the pool when it opened up or close to that time. It was cloudy and a bit chilly this morning 5/28/2022. I even wore my Cleveland Indians windbreaker. I probably have had that for 40 years or so now. No sun @ the pool today. I started out with my prayers and reading my bible. Wait, before that I did use a sanitizer wipe on the table and chair, I was going to sit in. I played the water spirits video 3 times just to remind those water spirits to stay in the water and not come out. After my prayers Holy Spirit had me run my fingers over the pages of my closed bible and then He shows me where to open up the bible and read. Sometimes I hear ever so clear the bible chapter and then there are times when He does this with me. Would you like to know where Holy Spirit led me today, what scripture to read? It was Ezekiel 33. You know what that chapter is about. This is interesting, the notes I wrote in the margins. "This was spoken to me many years ago-that the Lord also uses me as a watchman on the wall. I ask you Lord to revive & resurrect this in me again. Thank you Lord. And I drew a heart with a smile inside the heart next to the last word I wrote."  On the next page margin I wrote this "Thursday 1/24/19 33:33. The word of the Lord via James Goll preaching for 2019 Fresh Bread video I just saw. Actually I heard the audio earlier today I already had these words underlined 11/25/2013 praise God." 

This is what I journaled between 9:57AM-10:20AM sitting poolside.

"As you sit in My presence do you feel heat on your face even though it is cloudy & cooler outside? Yes I do in the lower cheek areas of my face. You seemed a bit agitated the last few days. Give that to Me for I know your heart & your desire to do My will & My will alone. It actually took me a few minutes to actually lift both hands to the sky upward while facing 2 apartment buildings but I did it. I gave it to Jesus as He was speaking to my heart about not acknowledging Him before others & He would not acknowledge me. I had to build up my faith a bit in the simple act of surrender. He further compelled would I not do this if a few names He spoke to me that their lives depended upon it. He reminded me of the times when in church & I was not going to be pressured into giving an emotional offering & how He would have me close my eyes as the offering plate went past me. So, I closed my eyes & lifted both hands in the air to the sky. Even at my age & my walk with Jesus He can ask things of faith of you & the ? is will you respond to Him. He compels or encourages you along but the ultimate choice really is yours. Don't let your heart harden so as to not hearing Him whoo you. Todays act of obedience just may be the key to unlock tomorrows grand miracle. Thank you Lord for being with me & having patience as my faith continues to grow. 

After actually eventually lifting both arms up to the sky I did respond at first but in a sort of cowardly way. After writing this I then notated this in the margin of the page.... See, I responded with raising my hands while my arms rested on my notebook. No one could see that because I was sitting @ a table & they did not extend even above the tabletop."

Let me share a word of exhortation I listened to a couple of times that brought encouragement to me. May it bring encouragement to you also. I am sharing what was sent to me to view the other day. This ministry encourages one to share what was sent out with others.

Divine Intelligence

– A Word of Exhortation –

Video and Audio by James W. Goll

Do you want to grow in divine intelligence? You can! But first, do as well as you can in the natural setting you have in front of you. Be faithful in the sphere you have been given. Faithfulness brings increase. When you are faithful in little, God will give you more. When you are faithful in another's, God will give you your own. When you are faithful in the natural, God will make you a ruler of true spiritual riches.

Sometimes Holy Spirit Shows Me An Adventure A Few Days Prior To It. Example Of This Is Today's Early Adventure.

I saw this a few days prior to me completing this today. Here is how it works with me sometimes. Sometimes my adventures are spontaneous that day with Holy Spirit nudging me. Others He shows me working it out that I can see it prior to actually doing it. I may see a glimpse here and there, then insight with details. The question is, am I willing to follow the leads or just dismiss them totally. I am sure I have missed some along the way throughout the years. I know I have missed opportunities probably out of fear of trusting and stepping out in faith. Others because just because and believe it or not He will bring some of them around again so He can bless me. He is faithful always.

I saw this unfold the last few days. He knows I like sitting on the grassy area where I live reading. So, He challenges me if I will go to the community pool early Saturday morning. I said ok. I saw me playing the water spirits video I created and playing it by the pool to deal with water spirits in the pool. Then I had to have Him help me on how in the heck am I going to bless the water with salt and anointing oil. I thought that would be a challenge but with His wisdom it was not. I came prepared today. I place a little bit of Cassia anointing oil on the tops of both of my feet and on my left hand. A little anointing oil 1st then a little sprinkle of salt on top of that. So, how am I going to do this today. Bless the water first with the oil & salt. As I was looking around the pool I had to figure out the best approach for this adventure part 1. The easy part was part 2, while sitting in the chaise lounge I played the video 3 times. Father, Son & Holy Spirit 3 in one. Eureka, go to the steps that lead into the pool, use the hand rail and then gently place my left foot into the pool to see if the water temperature was warm. When I let the oil/salt on my foot touch the water that released the blessing of the water. I had no intention of going in the pool but to the other residents already at the pool early it just appeared as a person testing the water temperature. Isn't Holy Spirit so creative. I then did my morning prayers and read the book I am currently reading.

Does Holy Spirit stretch my faith sometimes, yes He does and this was 1 of those times. To God be the glory. Water spirits and blessing the water were done today. Second task today was to bake the Fresh Blackberry Cake with Blackberry Butter Cream frosting. I already know the people who will get this cake. When I bake it is done to bless others, it truly is. I saw myself baking this for a few weeks now but had to wait for blackberries to be on sale. They were on sale so I went and purchased what I needed last evening. 0.99 for each 6 ounce container, I bought 4 so I had a few left to decorate the top of the cake also. I was up early today so I separated or attempted to separate 4 eggs as the recipe called for. Wouldn't you know it, all 3 were fine until the last 1 and yolk got in with the separated egg whites. What to do now? I then put all parts of the 4 eggs together and made an omelet with fresh dill from my garden and chives, onions and mozzarella cheese. I divided it in half and now I have breakfast for tomorrow.

As I was sitting on my patio I was blessed to see a hummingbird try to come towards me but only comes so far then goes back to the feeder. I saw a neighbor this morning while on my patio, walking her dog. I called out to her to see if her dog wanted some homemade dog treats. I went and got them for her. I also asked her if she needed any herbs, I broke off some fresh dill for her. A local farm market owner makes these dog treats so I bought them last weekend and shared them with 2 neighbors dogs.  My 3 layers of cake are done baking and cooling now. I had to make a blackberry compote and it is cooling now before I puree it to make the frosting. All is well in my space where I reside, especially that a load of laundry is done too. I am composing this while sitting on my patio with the voices and splashes of water of children enjoying the pool as my background sounds. I am sure Holy Spirit loves to hear the sounds of children having fun, both young & old for we are all God's children. 

You Know There Can Be Negative Prayers Prayed Against You When You Reach Out To The World For Prayer, Right?

Use caution when reaching out to the worldwide audience when soliciting important prayers. Unfortunately, not everyone has your best interest at heart for your very life. When 1 is a bit vulnerable they may tend to listen to well-intentioned voices when seeking advice. Not everyone in your so-called sphere of influence may have your best interest in mind. There are those that sit amongst us that have hidden secret desires or influence that just may further their plans with using you as the catapult to spring them forward so to speak. When walking with people you think you know, they can even have off kilter days and speak not accurate to you.

If I would have followed a dear and trusted friends' advice, I would have never found out answers to questions Holy Spirit had me asking a few weeks ago. This friend even in our conversation spoke words against prophetic words I have received throughout the years. I was gracious while speaking with them and silently rebuking the very words they were speaking against one of the major callings in my life. They may have even been at meetings when the prophet we both respect spoke words contrary to the words they were then speaking to me on the phone. You are never too old or young or advanced also to hear Holy Spirit over human spoken words ok.

Let's talk about the deliverance aspect of this request. Not everyone out there that participates in a ministry is perhaps a friend but actually an enemy disguising themselves to be a friend. You know, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Use caution because your sincere request has now been an opportunity for cursing words to come forth spoken on your very life and situation. I trust there are those that know how to fight in the spirit realm to combat this nonsense trying to come forth. Blessings not cursing's. I know how to pray against this stuff and have recently done so. Just because a list is out there to sign up for prayer slots, do not disregard those that do not need recognition to pray prayers and have all along been praying, way before the events even take place. Holy Spirit directs His people and if they know His voice they respond to His calling into prayer.

A Few Days Ago After Work, Holy Spirit & I Went On An Adventure ...

 I was led by Holy Spirit 1 day after work to go down by the Stones River. I brought my video I made a few weeks ago about taking care of the water spirits. This time I was to walk along the river in the opposite direction of when I created the video. I just kept hitting replay for the water spirits to obey the command I gave them in the video in Jesus' name. You do not have to shout or rant and rave loudly because the spirits have perfectly fine hearing. Especially when you invoke the name of Jesus they have to obey. It is not me, but it is the power given to us by Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. When on the bridge I walked back and forth a couple of time playing the video to make sure each side of the bridge water heard it. Before I did that act, I was walking back from the bottom of the bridge, and I asked Holy Spirit to confirm something in my life that is His will for my very life. See, we have conversations all the time. I could be conversing with you and be having a conversation with Him too. You know, there may be a question or 2 about something in our conversation that I need to get verified or confirmed while our conversation is taking place. You understand right. 

So, I look up and see a deer standing in the grassy area. Then He shows me 2 more deer a bit beyond where the 1 deer is. I captured a few short video clips so you can see evidence of what takes place in my life. I do not make this up, but I share from my heart experiences. Why seeing 3 deer as a confirmation to me? Father, Son & Holy Spirit, that speaks to me. Especially when everything seems to be contrary to what He shows me is to come forth. Remember to take time out of your day to talk with Holy Spirit because there are lots of competing voices telling you what to do with your life. Do not listen to any other than His voice speaking to you. He also speaks to you through the living word of God in the scriptures.

I Finished Last Week The Book, "While You Are Waiting How To Make The Most Of Where You Are By Melody Barker. Started Reading A Book By A Local Pastor, Jeff Dollar. So Far, So Good.

I am an avid reader, I really am. I read ministry related books though. So much so that when my mom was visiting, she asked if I had any books to read. I responded I have ministry related books. Needless to say, I had to go to my neighbors to see if she could borrow a book to read until we went to the Christian Publishers Outlet to get some Amish novels for her to read. She is an avid reader also; she finished the book borrowed in a few days. She went home with 1 Amish novel to read in the car and 3 more for future reading delight.

The book I am currently reading is titled, "Letting Go Of The Need To Be Right Experience the Power of Humility." The author is a local Pastor, Jeff Dollar of Grace Center. I have been to this church a few times before. For services after experiencing prophetic team ministry. I truly smell scents (the presence of God scents) wafting in the church atmosphere when I am there and I sit in the back of the sanctuary. The presence of God is in this church. The prophetic teams always give accurate words to me. I may have even shared some of them on this blog. I probably am due to go for prophetic ministry sometime in the near future. As Holy Spirit guides, He provides.

You know I am at a point of not wanting to wait on marriage anymore even though Holy Spirit says it is there for me. Do you ever get like that? Waiting for over 25 years and you tend to say I will settle for something less just to go forward in my life or not get married at all. Marriage takes the connecting of 2 people not one on their own. So, if 1 is ready and the appointed other is not there comes a point to say forget about it and You are God You can send me someone as a replacement and I would be fine with that. See, this time it is not them waiting on me of all the women in the world selected. It is me waiting on the one God hand chose for me. I am the blessing to come forth and not just some woman waiting to be found as a prize. I am refined in my mannerisms, tempered by Holy Spirit grooming me. He teaches me and gives me divine wisdom even if I am going against the proven establishment ministers that have all the accolades and titles given to them. I do not always like standing out on the ledge there by myself proclaiming this or that but I guess that shows that I do not rely on a man to come into my life to give me boldness and respond to Holy Spirit nudges do I?

If anything, it may be a bit of a challenge to get used to a spouse and not just up and run when Holy Spirit says go here and there and do this or that. I sure hope a spouse will be able to accept me as God made me to be and not want me to change my spontaneity or not want me to severely change. I do believe he will be captivated by Jesus shining through me and I am perfectly fine with that. Where did all of this come from today. Maybe because Holy Spirit asks me lately if I will do His will. I respond yes to Him but I just want to go on in life, doing His will. No more delays, no more.

I Was Standing In Line Yesterday 5/14/2022 Behind A Young Father Searching For Baby Formula For His Child. He Shared None Could Be Found. I Said He'd Be Better Off Going To Our Southern Border & Getting The Baby Formula They Are Giving Away To Illegals Crossing Our Southern Border ILLEGALLY. What Is Up With That Scenario Current White House Administration? Sounds Perfectly Unbalanced To Me, Do You Agree?

When I hear about it on the news it is one thing. I still get upset at the fact of even thinking of how a parent will find baby formula to feed their child or children. This is a very serious matter to be dealt with. We are talking about nourishment for infants to be able to thrive and survive. This is sort of a sick and twisted scenario that people crossing our borders in an illegal manner are taking away from the very mouths of children born to tax paying, hardworking citizens of The United States of America. Something is very crooked in this scenario and needs to be straightened out and straightened out quickly.

I remember when my children were young, and they gave their Christmas list to me and my husband. Back then, there was no searching online or even ordering online. You had to wait for the weekly advertisements to come out in the Sunday newspaper and then go to the various stores that may have received in limited quantities of a certain toy. We would split up with one of us going to one store and another going to another store to get in line before the store opened in hopes of purchasing the toy on the list. We did that out of love for our children to see their eyes wide opened when they unwrapped the gift to find what they wanted from their list given to us to give to Santa was what they just opened up. I am sure some of you did the same thing. It is called wanting to bring joy to our children, right? I cannot even imagine today's scenario of parents running here and there along with frantically searching online to find food for their children. Such a dilemma for parents today. When we were searching back then it was for a favorite toy that seemed to be the favorite toy of many American children and parents were willing to find that toy for them. Today, this is a matter of life and death, baby formula. Apparently, the current Administration knew about this back in February and why were they not pro-active in resolving this back then? 

Do you think Jesus is going to tolerate this shenanigan much longer? I would venture to guess the answer is NO because He did not let even the apostles try to shew away the children that gathered around Him. In Mark 10:13-16 it states it like this:

"Some people brought little children to Jesus to have him hold them. But the disciples told the people not to do that. When Jesus saw this, he became irritated. He told them, "Don't stop the children from coming to me. Children like these are part of the kingdom of God. I can guarantee this truth: Whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child receives it will never enter it." Jesus put his arms around the children and blessed them by placing his hands on them."

I would not want to be in the shoes so to speak of those out to harm our children. Be it in the womb waiting to be born or outside of the womb waiting for Jesus' 2nd return/coming to claim His people. Repent while there is still time to do so. Turn from the wicked ways and pick up the cross daily in your life. Time is swiftly advancing and 1 day you will say to yourself I will make things right tomorrow. The bible says to make things right in your life today because we are not promised the tomorrows in our lives. That is Proverbs 27:1. Then you just may want to read James 4: 13-17.

The bible speaks clear about these things, they are not my words, but they are the word of God, the bible is written under the unction of Holy Spirit. 

Why can't some of this free spending money being sent to Ukraine be earmarked to take care of our own needs in the USA like a secure border and food for our children. I am sure there are many other countries out there that need to pick up the slack and give of their own money to the Ukraine crisis and not put the burden on us when we have our own issues to deal with back home.  People this is common sense stuff so why can parents see this ever so clearly and not those directing the directions of our own country see the same? Sure does baffle me, what about you?

I Went To An Asian Restaurant Last Night With My Mother & We Conversed A Bit With The Owner. Current White House Administration What Are You Doing To Help Businesses Thrive & Not Continue To Hinder Them With Outrageous Price Increases For Supplies Needed For The Businesses? Are You Planning On Doing Anything At All To Build Our Country Back Up & Not Help Tear It Down?

If I am wondering about this question, I am sure others out there are wondering also.  My mom and I went to an Asian restaurant last night. We struck up a conversation with the owner who was also serving our table too. I noticed as we entered the restaurant that there was a help wanted sign posted also. I think we were both in shock when he began to share with us the cost of supplies, he is currently facing in reality. A 40-pound box of chicken prior to this covid garbage they're still trying to peddle on us out there today cost $40.00. Do you know what he is paying today for that same 40-pound box of chicken? It costs him $150.00-$160.00 for the exact same item. That is outrageous, totally outrageous. He shared about the cost of oil too. Then how much more expensive it is for a business owner to take on more staff to help in the restaurant. Current White House Administration why are you putting such a costly burden upon businesses out there? Maybe send less money to Ukraine and let other nations kick in their fair share of some money to send to them and spend money on our own southern border to protect us. Better yet why not help and not hinder the small businesses out there trying to survive. Just me thinking out loud again.

We were at The Christian Publishers Outlet before dinner. My mom likes to shop there when in town. When checking out I mentioned how her purchase would go towards my rewards spending account along with my purchase. Well, guess what? No more spending rewards program anymore. When covid hit the price of books increased. The owner had to make a business decision back then. Either do away with the rewards program or keep the cost of the books down and not increase the book prices. They chose the latter. No business should have to be faced with these tough decisions. I liked the rewards program, for every $100.00 spent you then received a coupon or something like that, it was money off of your next purchase.

These are 2 examples of how local businesses have been disrupted in one form or the other. Will the current administration in The Whie House be reaching out to businesses to help them or are you deciding to be an active participant in the possible closure of their American dream? You know the dream, work hard and be diligent and you too can fulfill the American dream of owning your own business. Not only owning it but creating a legacy for future generations to continue on in the American dream?

I Told You Zoom Calls Are Not Good, @ Least From A Spiritual Perspective That Is. I Woke From This Dream Early Today 5/12/2022

I do not understand all the accolades when it comes to zoom calls. I participated in a "live" session yesterday afternoon ministry type of class. Again, I did not sign in via zoom link, just by calling in via the phone. When you choose this avenue to participate you really are just experiencing being on a phone and hearing everything. The only interaction is if you are in a small group break out session and you unmute yourself to speak. You cannot see anything going on and you trust the chosen group facilitator will call on you to share. Apparently, I only reflect on the screen as a telephone icon and phone number and that is it. So, 6 groups with I think 12 people assigned to each group.  The instructions are for each person to share in about 90 seconds each. People go way over the time allotment and just talk. It is like they want to just keep sharing on and on. A good facilitator would gently remind them to stick to the 90 second rule but I have not seen this take place. Either the groups should be made on a smaller size scale or extend the talk time permitted or the participants should stick to the suggested time frame. Then, if you are chosen as the group facilitator it is your time to shine and interact with the person who is conducting the class. Quite honestly, there is no vote taken to select a facilitator I have found out. Someone tends to volunteer at it.

There will be a future class I might be interested in signing up for but probably won't if they continue on the path of zoom call format. Why can't they go ack to the old version of a webinar? I think from a spiritual perspective it is much safer/guarded. See, you have all these people you do not know or know their spiritual walk with Holy Spirit, you can be wide open to attacks in the spiritual realm coming against you. It all looks fine and well on the surface but let me share a dream I had early this morning. When snakes are in a dream that cautions me that there are witchcraft/curses involved somewhere. Let me share this too ... in my sharing on the zoom call I shared about how Holy Spirit brings retrieval when He wants me to share from my journals. He shows me what time frame I wrote in them and then it is narrowed down to where to start searching in particular journals. I then find what He wants me to share with you all or on an individual basis with someone. I am sharing with our small group that I have been journaling and have dream journals since the mid 1990's. That is important to know in relationship to the dream I had today.

"I am walking on a swing type of bridge, you know, the kind that kind of sway motions as you walk on the bridge. There is a ravine below me, and I hear a man calling up to me from down in the ravine to be careful that there are snakes down there. He was hiking in the ravine. In the dream I think to myself that I have no plan to go into the ravine and have to deal with the snakes. The next scene in the dream is I see one of my bedroom quilts on a bed. Almost in the center or near where I would lie down to sleep is a light brown small in size snake coiled up and sitting on my bed." I know the man in the dream was an angel giving warning to me. Angels are real and most active, there are more of God's angels out there then satan's fallen angels that were thrown out of heaven along with him.

Do you get the message yet? I am a dreamer and shared that I have been doing this via journals since the mid 1990's. Someone in the group possibly did not like me sharing so an attack from the enemy is now out there. I will deal with this and believe you me I will demand 7 times back recompense from the enemy with trying to steal my dream time. He has to repay me since the thief has been found out. Use caution when participating in zoom classes. Very wise minister advised me to only participate in smaller scaled zoom classes that you know the participants in, and your gut instinct or discernment is giving you the ok. 

When I Planted Carnation Seeds Last Year, I Had 1 Request. To At Least See 1 Carnation Bloom. It Bloomed Today As My Mother Arrived For A Visit With Me, God Answers Prayers Doesn't He

When I planted carnation seeds last year I planted to see if they would grow. They grew but no blooms. Next step was to see if they would survive the Winter. They did. I saw my very 1st carnation bloom today as my mother arrived for a visit with me.

I don't want to pick the flower because it smells wonderful when I catch a wiff of its scent. God is faithful isn't He. He hears our requests. There are times you must be patient and trust during the waiting time. Then there are other times He answers your request almost instantly. One example is no better or superior to the other. The point in all of this is that God hears our prayer requests. Do you agree? In the waiting time continue serving the Lord and catching the waves of blessing others. Do good towards others and when you least expect it your answered prayer just may manifest.

There Are A Few "Elect" Ministers in The Region Being Deceived. How Do I Know? I Go, I Feel/Sense, I Ask Questions. You Are Picking The Wrong Side To Take Their Side. Whatever Happened To Not Judging Others?

There are a few elect ministers in the region I hate to say it like this, but they are being hood winked so to speak. They are taking one side and boy oh boy what I am finding out is not lining up with what they think is actually going on. Do not be deceived just because men tend to take the side of a woman and her words. Did you ever consider the spirit of Jezebel may be operating in a cunning way? Don't just listen to words spoken but use your gut instinct. If you continue on and truth becomes revealed you will look not so good with how the expression goes, with egg on your face.

I go and have you been in person to the other person's church service? You may want to consider going for yourself and see. While there, why not ask a few questions yourself. Did you consider asking why an appointed minister to be the new pastor left that position? Ask and you will be surprised. The presence of God is in the church because I have been there a couple of times and I feel the presence of God and angels too. There is freedom at this church, and I have noticed when I place an offering, I am seeing breakthrough in my own finances. Would that be happening if there was something sinister going on? When will you go for yourself to check it out? Don't be so gullible because you are men (there may be women too) taking the side of a woman.

I know these may seem like harsh type of words but sometimes you got to say what is inside of you and not worry about stepping on toes so to speak. Why does the elect think it is ok to point fingers at others? I would strongly suggest before casting stones to examine their hearts and ministry to make sure everything is above board at home before throwing stones at others. It tends to be that Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery just by herself did He. He addressed the crowd amongst her pointing fingers at her didn't He. He told her to go and sin no more and the finger pointers seemed to disperse when He spoke truth.

Just because one is not considered to be in the movers and shakers type of group in the church does not leave them out from receiving divine revelation and insight. Why do ministers tend to think that it is only them and their chosen sphere group of influence that receive divine inspiration and dreams too. God is pouring out His spirit upon all that yield and hear His voice and respond to His calling them, even in the night hours when He speaks. Do not elevate when God is the one that not only elevates or brings forth people, but He also sits down and brings people from positions of authority and has them sit down at times to.

Newsmax I Owe You An Apology, You Are Not Airing Prime Video Commercials, I Am Sorry For The Confusion

I usually watch Newsmax via Roku. Well, a few times I watched it not in Roku and it was listed under the program choice of news. It was only then when I watched Newsmax via that avenue I would see the Prime Video commercials. So sorry that I thought you were sharing those crazy commercials. In fact, I purposely went into Roku last night and watched Newsmax and none of those commercials were played. Thank you for keeping high standards in commercials you allow to air. 

How Does Your Garden Grow? Mine Grows With Love, Want To See How It Is Growing?

 I have everything planted that I want to add to my patio garden this year. I added yellow cherry tomatoes, baby eggplant and cucumbers, all made for patio gardening. I do enjoy gardening even if it is on a patio. I was pleasantly surprised that my hibiscus came back to life and made it through the winter. My honeysuckle also came back along with chives and parsley too. 

I was at Kroger's the other day and discovered gardenia trees for patios. I think they underpriced them, only 19.99 plus tax. I went and bought one for a housewarming gift, then went back and bought 2 more for a Mother's Day gift, and a friend of mine asked me if I could pick one up for their house (I offered to when I let her know the great value). I love the fragrant scent of gardenias and my patio is delightful when I sit outside. There is something peaceful and most enjoyable sitting on the patio early morning enjoying breakfast. I did not get one for myself since my garden is growing and I don't want to add more to my patio to overcrowd it.

Oh my gosh, this is kind of the same theme. The pattern on a purse I bought today, sometimes it is nice to treat yourself to a Mother's Day gift. I was out gathering treats/snacks for the snack drawer at work. I met someone I knew at 1 store that told me about another store location. I go to the other store location then feel led to go to Dirt Cheap. Oh my gosh, they had a designer purse buyout. 50% off of the ticketed price. They were not cheaply priced on a good amount of the purses. I saw 1 that caught my attention and looked at the price tag ticket. Then further searching through the large selection I discovered that just maybe this one was mispriced. I asked the person to get me the purse I wanted. Not only is it a beautiful Patricia Nash leather purse, but it also came with a change purse, a leather strap and a satchel type of bag to store it in to protect it. I mentioned it looked to be underpriced but their warehouse tickets the items not the store employees. She honored the price and I got it for half off of 100.00. Just for the sake of it I wanted to see if they had the same purse buyout at another location. Oh my gosh, the purse I purchase was definitely underpriced. I took a picture of the same purse price tag. Theirs was listed as 367.00 not 100.00. I would have never bought the same purse with that price tag even if it was 50% off of the listed price. I call that Holy Spirit hidden treasure tucked away for me to find this very day. When you see the pattern, you will agree it is so me. It is called Birds of Paradise and it has a little charm celebrating the 10th anniversary of Patricia Nash. I tend to like watches, purses and fashion ring jewelry too.

Radnor Lake Park Eagles, I do not know the people that were speaking in this video, they were just at the observation deck when we were there

I no longer need to go to Ohio to see the eagles since they are in Nashville. The eaglets are born and a few weeks ago when I went with a friend to see them they were still in the nest. I saw not 1 eagle on my recent trip to Ohio. Holy Spirit spoke to me that there is no need to go back to Ohio to see eagles when they are here in Nashville now
