Had A Dream A Few Days Ago. Guess What, I Passed The Test. Do Wonders Ever Cease To Amaze Me?

 on 8/21/2022I had an early morning dream I will share with you.

"I was either in Cleveland, Ohio. Atlanta, GA or New York City, New York. I was in a van and somehow got lost & separated from my van. I trusted a man to guide me back & he left me in a city filled with lots of homeless & heavy crime. Then 4 wealthy women took me with them. I just kept thinking if I can get to this one area I could then know my way back & I also kept thinking if I could contact/call my sister she could come & get me to get me back home. I discovered I do not know her phone# by heart & it is in my cellphone, but discovered the cellphone was in the van.

The 5 of us are now in a restaurant & I sat on the edge of the bench seating (on the end). I was now speaking to 1 wealthy woman at the table. She was at the head of the table, and I was seated with the 3 other wealthy women on the bench. She had 2 grown children a daughter & a son. The girl was on the floor pre-occupied in a game or something when the son came in & saw I was seated in his spot. He began to get upset-like a hissy fit but as an adult & not a child. I then see myself speaking directly to the main woman, the mother of the 2 children. Asking her if they had these problems as children-she said no. Then I point blank asked her if she was active in their lives and had family dinners around the table. She told me no & I let her know that is why the children act like they do now. I then told her that she could fix them if she agreed to have a large family dinner for Thanksgiving-she said she would. Then I asked each one of the 3 friends would they commit to help her with the dinner. Each one said yes, they would.

The next scene we are in a room sitting in chairs in a circle. They then proceed to ask me if I knew I was in a test-I said yes that I tend to know while going through testing. That I know I am in a test in the midst of the test. They told me I passed the test with a smile!"

How Can A Lovely Place Be Run Into The Ground Only After A Couple Of Years, Being Managed By Original (previously owned by) Owners & Their Designated Leasing Company.

This is a true story sad to say but am living in this story, watching it unfold day by day. This truly was a hidden gem waiting for me to find when I found this brand new, lovely community when I did. Lovely and upscale sort of features that I find simply charming. Crown molding in the living room, dining room and kitchen. Actual wooden cabinets in the kitchen. Upscale type of blinds throughout the unit where there is no string apparatus to pull to lift up the blinds you just lift up the whole unit to the height you want the blinds lifted to. Nice, laminated wood flooring sort of in an ashen gray/brown color with good quality carpeting and carpet padding in the bedrooms. I was the first one to live in the unit I selected so no one even used the brand-new full-size washer & dryer. A garden tub that's not only deep in depth but also in width too. It takes approximately 15 minutes to fill it for a bath. Superior quality as the base of both tub/showers meaning whatever they chose as the non-slip/non fall texture is wonderful. One of my favorite features is the light that turns on in the freezer when you open it. There are nice quality large sized mirrors in each bathroom. The lighting is actually built into the mirror sort of like a frame would be to a picture. I was told if the light goes out there is no changing a light bulb, but a new mirror is needed to replace it. I told you quality upgrades here.

This is a lovely residence and I take care of it as if I owned it myself. I even requested some paint to use for touch ups if needed on the walls, they filled a little empty jelly jar I provided to maintenance with the matching paint color. Somewhere along the line they let the standards of becoming a resident here down. I was still under contract and had a typed rules pages to live here. It clearly stated no dogs 50 pounds or larger are to live on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It apparently didn't matter when they broke the current rules sheet, I had and let an 80 lb. dog move in with the tenants above me. When I inquired and brought in the rules sheet to the office all they said was it was updated and gave me the new one reflecting there are not breed/weight restrictions for dogs now and which floors they can live on. The ones that fight and disrupt not only those below but also the tenants above them. I asked the property manager at the time several times if they had this problem at the building they moved from to the other building. They assured me each time no and maybe I have sensitive hearing or that no one brought it up about them in the other building they transferred from. I would say I find that odd that all of the sudden they start fighting and never did in the other building unit they moved from within this community. Only to find out after this manager quit that I was told this couple fought like cats & dogs at the other unit they moved from. The best suggestion the office could only tell me was to call the non-emergency police phone number. How many times does one have to go through with this before it is addressed by property management? Just about a week ago the fighting started in the afternoon, so once again the phone call was made. 

Now, the update with my new neighbors that say they don't speak English. A little over a week ago I came home from a baby shower and that evening I was watching tv and dosed off. You know, asleep but not completely asleep. I thought I kept hearing loud music. I woke around 11:30pm only to find out it was coming from my new neighbor's apartment in which I could hear it in my unit along with loud voices talking too. I called the non-emergency police number since it was well after quiet time is designated here and the noise travelled to the bedroom area. I think the police came because it quieted down. So, I then go into the office 1 day and asked if the courtesy noise letter was sent out to them. The newer leasing consultant who can have a combative/defensive personality at times begins to say maybe they were having a celebration or celebrating something. I responded back, well after designated quiet time. I actually had to ask them if one of the reminder quiet time letters was going out to them. They did not give me a definitive answer and I said do you need to know their apartment number; they said no because they knew my apartment number. Do you get the big picture here? I had a local real estate agent share with me how this truly lovely community is known as the hood now because it is easy for anyone to rent here and guess what, it is now showing to be true.

We are apparently the word out there is if you are a person that gets a lease then it is ok to let other family/friends move in without placing them on the lease. So that is how paying the rent is affordable, splitting rent with a couple of families/friends makes it very affordable. Then the word is when a unit becomes available, they then move to that unit. Another resident told me of a unit in which bunk beds are set up in the living room area. So far me and my neighbors have seen well over the TN limit of occupants living in the unit happening. When you question this with the leasing office, they say well, when 1 moves out for a night and then comes back into the unit the time clock starts all over again. Isn't that crazy thinking? Who are these people and have background checks been done on them to know we that live in the same building are safe knowing they passed background checks. Then they bring in several vehicles also which take up parking spaces for the rest of the tenants to park. When you inquire about starting some sort of resident program like maybe 2 vehicle stickers per unit and then let the other vehicles park elsewhere on property this is the response from someone in management mind you. We do not have guest parking and it is a first come first served basis. I further inquire if all these vehicles are being registered with the lease/office and this person actually said they never updated the office when they got a new car/license plate stuff and they did it a couple of times so far. My response, aren't you still having the towing company patrolling the property to deal with stuff like cars that have not moved in days or expired license plate tags? I was surprised at their answer when they continued to say aren't you concerned your vehicle could get towed and they responded they were not worried about that because they move their car, so it does not just stay in 1 parking spot. So, you have someone in the leasing office that doesn't even follow that courtesy obligation to notify the office when vehicle or new license plates are on their vehicle. At 1 point the former manager was talking about the parking situation and was going to offer garages to tenants to alleviate the parking congestion, that never happened and when I brought that up the new leasing representative got a bit of a sarcastic attitude with me and said rent a garage for 100.00 a month. Then she spoke under her breath a comment and I asked her what you just said, and she said nothing. I heard them say get a garage. Whatever happened to customer service skills. Gosh give me about a month or so and I would get this place is high standards like it used to be when I moved in. Oh, when I asked when the last time was, they did a property drive thru checking on registered vehicles and not expired license tags was a response that they don't have time in the office and the maintenance person has access to all the info they had and why not have them do that too. Maintenance I believe should do maintenance related tasks and not take on the responsibilities of front office personnel. Apparently in May there was a contest for the best patio per building. The sign still stays up in the announcement area, but no one was selected yet. I inquired months ago about have the winners been selected and the response was it as to hot outside to walk the property to select winners. What were the potential prizes? Goodness' sake if there never was the intent to have a contest which encouraged people to clean up their patios and take down holiday (Christmas) lights etc. then why put up a flyer stating so.

Last night the non-speaking English that live in this property somewhere (I am guessing that also or are they living elsewhere or guests of tenants) must have been having a loud party/gathering after hours maybe by the grilling area and it was loud again. This time about 10:30PM I was just too tired to get out of bed to call the non-emergency police phone number. I just wanted to go to sleep. Apparently, someone else must have called someone about it because it got quiet outside. So, younger in aged kids were talking in a foreign language and it seemed like it was outside my bedroom windows why were parents not with them? Oh, here is the other scenario ... I asked Holy Spirit to reveal the mighty angels around me protecting me to someone in this rowdy crowd and they were shown them and not to mess around anymore and then it got quiet outside. You decide, was it someone calling someone to quiet them down or did Holy Spirit show mighty angels to them?

I have no problem with people moving to our great country because 3 of my grandparents did. They assimilated to our nations ways and were respectful of people around them and also learned to speak English, boy that is a novel idea isn't it.

All in all, I still love my unit I really do, and God gives me great prophetic dreams and insight right here in my abode.

Jesus Is Cleaning Up The Church In Our Neighborhood, Region, State, Country & Around The World. He Gave Me A Brief Vision While In Prayer With Another Believer.

This is how it works with me. In prayer I get this brief picture/image shown to me. Way back when I didn't know how to describe these things that would happen to me, I would call them a "bleep." Cuz it was here one minute in seeing it then it was gone. He always gives me an explanation of what was shown to me. People get ready because if you don't freely repent on your own, He will expose it for all to see so it will be cleaned up, to clean up the church. In the morning of this past Sunday, I was speaking with a friend of mine & when we were praying there was this moment that Holy Spirit presence rushed right through me when she shared that not only a local church but churches across the land & country & world will be exposed with the truth coming out for repentance & revival. There was a point in which I saw Jesus' legs and feet (large in size) place His 2 feet upon a big rock or boulder & in the moment He did I could see multiple cracks in this stone & about to break from the multiple cracks that spread throughout this stone rapidly.

I knew when I wrote the other day, I was to keep a blog up exactly 24 hours then delete it. I was to read the blog entry to my friend, and I did. I then noticed I put it up @ 9:02AM. I then knew when I saw the time while still on the phone to delete it & I did in obedience to Holy Spirit instruction. I was still on the phone with my friend when I deleted it exactly 24 hours later @ 9:02AM. 

Now Something Lighthearted To Share

My daughter sent me these pictures of her bunnies. I hope you enjoy them. I hope you like my 2022 hummingbird video. I can't believe I have not recorded them yet and their season is almost up in this region. The other day 1 hummingbird flew right up to me then dodged me while on the patio. I responded to it saying I am the one who feeds you not another hummingbird you are trying to shew away from the nectar. This is the part of the season they can get a bit territorial and dodge dart other hummingbirds away from the nectar. I see one sit in the crape myrtle tree trying to protect its territory.

My other child's pet is a cat has the most beautiful shade of green eyes.

On My Birthday, 8/18, I Choose To Share A Testimony That Sprung Up @ Jeff Jansen's Celebration Of Life Service. Believe It Or Not, It Deals With Something I Baked & Gave Away That Very Day. Imagine That.

First of all, let me share that the Celebration of Life service was beautiful. I had tears but then moments of smiles too. The worship was beautiful, and I find at times since the service I am waking up with some of the very songs sung during worship reverberating inside of me. Certain verses of a song sung I hear over and over again playing inside of me. As I am writing this, one of those songs is somehow playing inside of me. I hear the verse over and over again that uses the word "injustice."

This is a tale of how Jesus uses me through the simple way of baking sweets. I know, you are thinking what! It's true, I cannot explain it, but He opens doors through me baking and blessing others, here is a great example of that. Oh, the key point is to be willing and obedient when the voice of Holy Spirit harkens unto you. Do not dismiss His voice because the simple acts usually somehow open up a door for ministry opportunities. I have seen this time and time again. May I share with you about me baking Triple Chocolate cake with Chocolate Ganache frosting and brownies with dark chocolate chips with homemade Cocoa Butter Cream frosting, decorated with Kit Kat hazelnut candy too? I cannot make this stuff up even if I tried to because it is pure Holy Spirit working.

I go to the viewing of Jeff Monday evening with 2 items Holy Spirit showed me bringing. A 50.00 bill in a card with words of comfort shared as Holy Spirit gave me them to write. He also showed me baking the family the triple chocolate cake I just mentioned. The cake presentation was just as important as I had hearts design on cellophane type of wrap (you know the kind you use for making gift baskets, that kind.) I then tied it together with decorative yarn I had that coordinated with the colors of the wrapping. See prior to Jeff going to be with the Lord I was driving home from Atlanta that Monday before his death. Holy Spirit had been showing me the value in a few offering seeds I had planted into his life and ministry and how I watched fruit come forth from each one. He had me increase the offering amounts sort of as testing the fruit that would come forth each time. Doors began to open in my life, and I already shared about some of them before. Now to you the amounts may not be of significant value but in the hands of God Almighty it is all about hearing His voice and being obedient in responding to what He is prompting you to do. A 5.00 bill offering then turned into a 10.00 bill offering turned into a 20.00 bill offering with the final offering being a 50.00 bill. As I was driving back home on that day Holy Spirit was already speaking to me to plant 50.00 next and He shared with me to watch what He can do with that offering. I said to Him you know my financials and You will make a way for this to happen. I came home from Atlanta with a 50.00 check, but it was dated for my birthday 8/18 so I could not cash that to use as the offering. The money was to come forth from what I already had in my checking account, and I obeyed and got the 50.00 bill from the bank over the weekend before the Monday night viewing was to take place.

I baked exactly what Holy Spirit placed upon my heart to bake. Oh, when I found out the news about Jeff, I then said to the Lord what about the 50.00 offering you spoke to me about placing, he is now with You in heaven how do I plant that seed? He responded to plant the seed as one last offering into his life and ministry via his children, I said ok. I am going to be real with you all right now. I finally found a glory spout in which to plant good seed offerings and now Jeff was gone. Maybe that is a bit selfish on my part, but I was looking forward to keeping planting seed offerings to see the magnanimous way God would open up doors and increase in my life. You do know that not every single ministry you may plant donations into just may not be flowing in this realm right. It is basically by trial and error. What may be the blessing avenue for 1 may not be for another. Also, what used to be for 1 may have shifted in time and what was miraculous just may not be in the next season of your life. Truly be sensitive to Holy Spirit leading you in this manner also. He sees the inner workings going on behind closed doors so to speak of a ministry and He will let you know where it is good and even great soil to plant the offering seeds. You truly need wisdom in the times in which we are living in now.

I approach the entrance of the church with cake and card in hand. This church has an awesome group of younger in aged men that are the greeters. They noticed I had something in my hand (the cake to be exact) and I asked them to give it to the family. I did  not know if this viewing was going to have a refreshment area or even a comfort meal the day of the funeral. There was going to be a private family graveside burial and a comfort meal for them. They placed the cake into the refrigerator. I went into the church and gave the card to one of the spouses of one of the children. This is where the testimony begins to pick up now ...

As I am leaving the church that night the same greeters were there to open the doors for you. I joked with them and asked them if there was any cake left, did they eat it all? They asked me if I was going to bake the same cake for them and bring it to them. Well, guess what? Holy Spirit prompts me to go to a grocery store to see if they had some of the main ingredients needed to make this cake. I went to 2 different stores, and they did not have what I needed to make that particular cake. So, I am inspired to bake brownies for them in which I add dark chocolate chips to the batter. Got to make my home-made cocoa butter cream frosting too. I add extra Ghirardelli baking cocoa to this frosting to make it even more yummy. I needed something now to decorate them with. There it was sitting in a shopping cart, Kit Kat mini sized hazelnut flavor individually wrapped in a package. I had more than enough to decorate with, so I taped up the rest in the package to also give them too.

I see them the day of the Celebration of Life service as I approach coming into the church and they ask me what I bake that day. I responded how I went to 2 different stores to find the ingredients to bake them the cake, but they didn't have what I needed so I baked them brownies. I told them it was just for them (the greeters that is) and I also handed them the Kit Kats too. Oh, I was not shy in sharing how Holy Spirit prompted me to bake for them.

As I am leaving the church after the service, I asked them if they had any of the brownie yet and a few responded they did and how good they were. So, I am now outside of the church doors and there were several of the greeters almost lined up and I had a captive audience to share with them about the importance of being a greeter and I did just that. I shared how when I lived in Ohio and was a greeter at church it is an important ministry being a greeter. I was able to greet, hug, welcome, smile at people entering the church and to find out that very same day some of those I greeted with the love of Jesus walked down the aisle to respond to the altar call to give their hearts to Jesus. That is what I shared about the importance of being a greeter at church. Then I walked to my car for my assignment was now completed.

Jeff Jansen know that even in death God can use circumstances to bring great GLORY to Him in heaven. Job well done dear sir; job well done. Oh, someone has to really get those last 2 songs he wrote and sang published to touch the world, along with the final book he penned too. If I may share a bit more with offerings at this point. I had some cash left over from my recent trip and Holy Spirit prompted me to plant 10.00 into one minister and another 10.00 into another minister but they never showed up at this particular service so I could not follow through with it that day.

Thank you, my Heavenly Father, for selecting the date of 8/18 for my arrival on this earth, truly grateful, truly grateful. Oh, I happened to see Charlie Shamp that day and reminded him of a powerful word he spoke over my life @ Global Fire Church all based on the word he was seeking someone with the significance of 8/18. He and Jeff at the time were on the platform together and I was on the ground floor level. It was such a powerful word of God that the power of God hit me without anyone laying hands on me and I fell back and hit the ground even without anyone catching me as I fell. Hum, the dream his wife shared at the service also made mention of the number 8, do you think I should seek out more insight on 8 since it is in my birthdate 2 times, oh wait 3 times if you count the year too.

My Birthday Will Be Next Thursday, What Would You Think If I Asked For A Certain Amount Of Money Attached For Each Year I Have Been Alive? How About This ... Donate To Me Purchasing A Home & Moving Expenses? Absurd Isn't It, There Are Big Platform Ministries Actually Doing This.

I just cannot believe the days in which we are living in when I see with my own 2 eyes this stuff going on in the church. So, let's say I am turning a year in my 60's in a few days and I put out a request to honor me with all the years I may have blessed via this blog, personal prayer and deliverance ministry in your lives. Let's say maybe 100.00 for each year I am alive that would be a good amount of money to raise wouldn't it be? All because I was born and lived and did what Holy Spirit prompted me to do. How does that merit you giving me money to honor my life and furthermore, even for years in which I was not actually ministering while growing up. I think this concept is absurd and the emotional draw on all of this is they use words like let's "honor" so and so to pull at your heart strings.

I have also seen the pleas for certain anniversaries one would be experiencing in their ministry too. The latest one though has me a bit perplexed. So, you feel the Lord is directing you to sell your home and purchase another. Really, putting out a plea to donate to make this happen for the minister? I know this because I experienced the later. I was receiving in emails that were sent with ministry attached to the email. I ordered and paid for a ministry item only to find out it was no longer available. The easiest way for me was to just say instead of refunding the 10.00 just apply it towards the house. This stuff exists out there.

Philippians 4:19 KJV states "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." So why then pleas to people/followers to bring in funds to you if God is supposed to supply your needs and He is speaking to your life about direction/change in the ministry and your own personal life? Baffles me does it baffle you also? I just wonder if there may be a case of mismanagement of ministry funds that prompts these pleas to come forth, just saying? Maybe there are people within the ministry that are "cooking the books" or pilferage is going on within the ministry unbeknownst to the main minister? If I am wondering about such stuff, then I am sure others must be too. Another lightbulb moment going on right now, do they ever share the total amount of money that was actually donated/raised by the ministry. Why not, shouldn't you be held accountable to not only God but the very donors that gave to the campaign.

How does this work tax wise then, is it listed as a tax-deductible donation or a gift to the ministry? I think I have some good questions do you agree? Better yet ... does the money then go to the individual minister for their own personal needs or is it then placed within the ministry funding account? Why, why, why does the church have to get on the bandwagon of the world ways? Is it out of greed or mismanagement of personal funds of the minister. When I bring forth a prophetic word of encouragement or teach others via my own learning curves learned I do not attach a dollar amount to it. I do not expect payment in the mail either from sharing what I have within me ministry wise. It was freely given to me by Holy Spirit to share with others. If I am given a beautiful strand of pearls as a gift but never open up the gift, what use are they to me. A gift freely given for me to enjoy but I can't because I never opened up the gift to enjoy them. Hum sounds a bit like the free gift of salvation. Given freely to all that accept Jesus into their hearts so no man can boast about it. I know this is heavy subject matter to discuss today but someone sure needs to discuss this.

 I found this the other day and it now hangs on the window in one of my rooms, simply stated, "If you see something BEAUTIFUL in someone ... tell them!" I speak forth right now that even in death a person can be vindicated when wrongly accused of things. God will not allow His anointed ones to be blamed for things they did not do, and the truth will be exposed and expelled too to bring greater glory to God. See, the one you happen to be taking the side of over the other will also be revealed, exposed & expelled because God is cleaning up His church. Do you ever wonder if the blessing began to stop flowing and curses began to flow in your life from the moment you chose to take the side you took? I'm just saying. How can God Almighty bless deception and tugging at the heart strings because of the stories being told by a female person. I have had too many prophetic dreams exposing this sort of stuff and then receiving confirmation when sharing the dream without actually knowing the behind-the-scenes knowledge. Only God can do that, only God.

I gave away the other 12 stone art piece I had for this one is truly made for me, do you agree?

Can you guess which one is mine that I painted?

This Is Kind Of Fun. My First Painting And Below My Mother's First Painting.

I took this picture today of my first painting and my mother's first painting. I think hers has much more detail to it. What do you think? Sure is quiet around here with my guests already back home. I am fine with having quiet until I have visitors and then when they go home, I am left with quiet again. Maybe God will move in my life in a creative way. So sorry that when I found a glory spot to give offerings to is now not an option with Jeff Jansen going to be with the Lord. Literally I was thinking of how I could get 50.00 this time to place as an offering in his ministry. I truly saw miraculous increase each time I recently planted offering seed into his life/ministry.

Jeff Jansen You Are A True Prophet Of God. Miracles Blossomed When I Recently Planted A 20.00 Bill Into His Ministry.

Holy Spirit has been showing me the art of planting seed offerings into great soil. He keeps me at distance when I place one into a ministry or persons life. Time to test the soil so to speak. I know that a few offerings planted did not produce anything from placing the offering. Then there was one that caused miracles to blossom in my life recently. I hoped and wished the other offerings would have produced the same but nothing sadly to say came forth. Actually, I saw in a quick vision 1 day after placing the 20.00 bill into Jeff Jansen's ministry a folded like accordion style 20.00 bill tucked under a set of silver keys that were on top of the bill. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I planted excellent offering into very rich soil. This is my miracle story if I may share it with you all. See, maybe just maybe the elect ministers in this region get it wrong, get it really wrong and select the wrong one to stand with as opposed to the other one. Maybe it might be time to repent and ask God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ. I'm just saying.

This came about in less than 1 week's timing. I was talking on the phone with my sister-in-law and letting her know my mom probably wouldn't be coming to a trip to TN in September, so I felt led to drive to GA to celebrate her 93rd birthday. I planted a seed in saying if you get to Nashville you could drive with me to GA. Then the creating of thoughts and ideas began to flow. See if my great niece could go with her on this trip too. We were going to surprise Nana with her coming on the trip too. Next thing I know the flights are booked and yes, my great niece was allowed to join us on this trip. Then my sister-in-law says let's rent a car and she would pay for it.  Then she says she will book reservations at a Hilton, and I could stay with them while in GA.

We tell my mom we are coming to GA to celebrate her birthday. My mother's tender response was this was going to be the best birthday with her 3 girls there. As you would have it, my niece was shopping with her grandmother, and she was talking on the phone with my mom getting things she requested her to get at the store for her. She then tells her Nana she is going on a trip and my mom asked her where she was going. She responded that she was going to go see her. The surprise was now no longer a surprise because she was so excited to tell Nana. My mom then got teary eyed now that her 3 girls and great granddaughter would be spending her birthday together. My mom loves her 1 a month art class and asked if it would be ok for all of us to join her and we could all paint a picture on her actual birthday. I still think that was one of my highlights of the weekend.

I booked the car rental in advance and then my sister-in-law would complete the reservation when she arrived in town. I do not know how people get in and out of BNA Airport, sounds like I would want someone to drop me off and pick me up if I ever had to use this airport for travel. I picked them up late Wednesday evening because the flight was delayed due to bad weather in the country somewhere. I was up bright and early yesterday to take them back to the airport for their flight back home, 5:30AM to be exact when we were on the road to the airport. No traffic at all heading there and back, I was actually home by 7:00AM which allowed me to do a few loads of laundry and walk to the trash compactor too along with making breakfast all before starting work.

When God miraculously opens a door, He really does and that is exactly what happened. We kept saying all along that this was a divine appointment, God wanted us on this trip. See, it is not always about our desires being fulfilled but maybe, just maybe the secret desires of another being fulfilled because people are willing and obedient to go with the flow of Holy Spirit. My sister-in-law kept telling everyone how I was able to be calm and speak what I had to say, and blessings came forth.We go to pick up the rental car and we already knew they would be upgrading us from a full-size car to an SUV because they told me that when I was there the day before and asking got me a senior 5% discount on the rental. The person that started the reservation knew there would be 2 of us driving. We get there to pick up the vehicle and are now told 2 drivers is an extra 19.99 per day. Uh huh, I have the paperwork reflecting nothing of that nature at all. They honored the quote given to us and we already had the savings flowing on this trip.

We get to the Hilton and the air conditioner in our room is not working on a hot Atlanta night. I call the front desk and I am told there is someone that has to make a few more stops before they get to our room to see what is going on. They go swimming and I already sprayed the surfaces in the room with disinfectant while they were swimming and I call the desk again to check on when they would be coming to the room. I was uncomfortable, imagine a room air conditioner blowing hot, humid air instead of the cool air it should be circulating. The person at the front desk actually came up to the room and agreed it was not working. There was a room across the hall that had the air working, 61 degrees room temperature in that room. They come back from swimming, and they agree to move to the other guest room after I quickly sprayed surfaces with disinfectant. The front desk person also gave my niece snacks from the little store they have and a 10.00 voucher for her to spend there too and 3 breakfast vouchers also. Well, I was up and down throughout the night because it was that cold in the room.  I would set the temperature higher, and it barely moved to register that temperature in the room. It was so cold my nose was actually cold. The next morning after breakfast they came to look at the air conditioner and tested it out. When I come back from breakfast there was another staff person looking at the digital thermostat. This person had an accent when they spoke, and I think it was a case of not communicating what I was relaying to them. I never heard of such craziness as he was telling me to make the room temperature warmer to turn on the heat. I responded you don't turn on the heat in the middle of summer to get the temperature to regulate 72 degrees in the room. I asked him to please get the other man that first looked at it to come back. I heard in the hallway while waiting for him to come back, talking to the man with the accent and even he was telling him you don't turn on the heater to make the room temperature @ 72 degrees. He was actually working on the room that the air conditioner was not blowing out cool air.

I notice how polite and respectful this young man is and there was something about his smile. I asked him if he was a Christian and he responded yes. I then shared I see Jesus in his smile, and we began to converse (oh by the way, he switched out the digital thermostat and the air conditioner began to work just fine) and I felt led to give him my cassia anointing oil. I explained cassia was one of the fragrances used when anointing kings and priests in the bible. I showed him how to use the oil. I shared that he has a very important job because he is in and out of the rooms at the hotel and he should pray while in the rooms and anoint them with the oil too. I felt inspired to encourage him with an example. What if someone was going to rent a room because they wanted to end their life, but he prayed over that room and somehow, they were inspired to turn on tv and there is a preacher speaking to them to not end their life and they give their heart to Jesus. By an example I was trying to relay to him the importance he has in his job influence as a Christian.

In the lobby after breakfast, I noticed a gentleman and I heard Holy Spirit say to ask him if he is a preacher/pastor, so I did in a polite manner. He responded inquiring about me asking. When he said he was a senior pastor of a church I then shared Holy Spirit told me he was. I was to then ask him what he was preaching now and what was on his heart to share with his church. He told me Jesus is coming sooner than people think He is coming and to get ready for His return and to be right with God. There is only heaven and hell and no in between place to go once you die.

Are you seeing the big picture yet? Divine appointments all around me. We also got 3 more vouchers for breakfast to use another day. The desk was in communication with the general manager as to what compensation would be given to use with our 2 rooms air conditioner problems. I called the desk one evening to see if they received a response about our inquiry. They called and I let my sister-in-law speak since she booked the reservation. They relayed there would be 50% discount plus an additional discount, and it would be 98.00 something for our stay. The rooms booked for 150.00 per night. We were happy sharing the blessing story with family when we saw them. We check out on Monday and the invoice reflects over 400.00 and I said I think we need to see the manger because we were told 98.00. The manager comes to the front desk, and I let her handle this while I went to get the car and start loading the luggage. My niece still had to pick out a few things to use her 10.00 voucher, so I helped her pick out what she wanted while her grandmother was talking with the manager.

We were told the 98.00 amount was a discount for just 1 night's stay. Then she went on to let him know when she used the exercise room 3 pieces of exercise equipment didn't work and there was no sanitizer at all in the room to wipe clean the equipment she did use. She told him she had to go place her hands in the pool to clean them after exercising because who knows who used that equipment, germ wise that is. I mentioned the health department should inspect that room and the hotel should lock the room with equipment not working and no sanitizer either. That must have triggered something in him when he heard about no sanitizer that the health department could close them down for that. He was not too pleased with his staff with not conveying all that was going on in this situation. She told him that the customer service was excellent from the staff that helped us. She comes out to the vehicle and said the entire bill was only 74.14 for everything. Then I said my niece has to turn in the voucher and she wanted to see if she owed anything over the 10.00 amount. He told her to just keep what she picked out and did not figure out the amount.

We were then off to get my mom for breakfast before we drove back to TN. Had a lovely breakfast. Wonderful lunch at the Bosnian restaurant with shopping at the grocery store connected to the restaurant afterward. When the manager heard she was 93 he then blessed her with a Napolean pastry to take with her. Had a wonderful meal one night at my sister's house and went to a Mexican/Korean restaurant too another time. It was a busy weekend. Now don't get mad at me but I did not stay at my son's house one night because he wasn't going to accommodate my request. Have a friend take his cat for the night or put the cat in a pet carrier because it will jump right on top of you while you are sleeping, and I just do not like that at all. I spent the afternoon with him after we went to breakfast on Sunday @ First Watch. He picked me up and we spent good quality time both shopping and at his residence. We then all met for dinner and cake that night.

Do you see the miracle hand of God that blossomed forth when I placed the 20.00 offering into Jeff Jansen's ministry. I was already thinking of a way to place 50.00 into the ministry to see what would happen from that seed planted. I shared this testimony with a friend just yesterday and was trying to encourage her to place a seed offering into his ministry if Holy Spirit showed her to. I also shared that I   need to get some more money to place into the offering for more increase in my life. Well Jeff, I planted seeds as Holy Spirit showed me and now you are a part of the great cloud of witnesses in heaven, don't forget to intercede for us still left here and see you one day in heaven. Blessings of abundance to you always and forever.

So Much Fun On This 93rd Birthday Celebration Trip For My Mom

Oh my gosh where do I even begin. Art Class first. Completed my first canvas painting of a pear sitting on a table. Mine had a bit of an abstract touch that the art instructor encouraged me to keep painting. She said she liked my paint strokes/flair and what I was seeing as I painted. I said mine didn't look exactly like her painting example she showed us as a guide. 

She still encouraged me to paint what I was seeing in my creative realm so I did. So much fun, so much fun. At the end she commented about my technique in which I replied it was Holy Spirit guiding me to create what He was showing me to create. 

When I have more time I will share more because there were a few divine appointments Holy Spirit set up for me in the very hotel in which we stayed. Along with divine great values we were blessed with on this adventure. People be very cautious where you plant blessing seeds to be watered by the hand of God and grow. All of these blessings are coming forth from a 20.00 offering placed into a ministry in which the elect ministers of my region are being greatly deceived and picking the wrong side in which to stand for. Be careful and watchful too.

My hotel was about 6 miles from a campus of the former church I used to attend in GA, Free Chapel. I went there today and it felt like being home with a safe and loving friend. Worship was impeccable and anointed. Pastor Franklin preached live on the screens in the sanctuary. Guess what? Holy Spirit had me specifically place 4-$5.00 bills in the offering with notating them to go to his grandchildren. I think I did that on occasion when I lived in GA and attended the main campus.

What a coincidence that probably the last time I was at this campus I went to today was when I believe I went to the grand opening service @ this location when this campus opened up. Isn't that funny how Holy Spirit can bring things full circle back around. I thought to myself a few times why can't I go to a church like this that is alive in Jesus where I live now. I miss the anointed worship and peaching the word of God. Holy Spirit please guide me to a church that flows in You like Pastor Franklin flows in. I have been waiting about 8 years now.

Spent the afternoon with my son and we shopped @ the Dekalb International Farmers Market. We actually purchased cherry tomatoes from TN. I only bought a few items to take with me back home and he would not let me pay for them. Spent some time @ his place with his sweet cat, Ben too.

So much more to share but I am tired from all the things we accomplished on this trip. Will catch up a bit later. If you are in a church that is alive with Jesus be most thankful because not all churches are operating in this manner.

You can't see it clearly in the picture of the pear but I added golden tone flecks/flicks of paint scattered as the last step to the project. Oh correction, place your name on your work of art creation is the finishing touch.

Happy 93rd Birthday Mom, See You Soon To Join With You In Your Painting Class Today 8/5/2022

Dreams come true even if you are 93 years old, they do, they really do. See, less than a week ago I was talking with my sister-in-law letting her know a possible trip for my mom to come to TN in September probably wasn't going to work out then. I let her know I was going to travel to Atlanta for her birthday this weekend. When you are celebrating up in age years how could you not make an attempt to be there for that celebration. Even if the economy quite frankly is terrible and the American people are suffering because of very poor choices the current White House administration continues to keep making. They are only looking out for their own selfish agenda and not looking out for the American people that helped build this great and beautiful country of ours, the USA. Needless to say, finances are a bit tight but oh well, family is family and God provides where He guides.

One simple idea came to me while we were talking on the phone. Action steps then turned into reality. My sister-in-law and her granddaughter were coming to TN to spend some time with me and then off to GA for my mom's birthday. Little did we know that having her 3 girls and my great niece, Lola, would make this a great birthday for her. God knew and He opened doors no man could open for us. Instead of using my car we got an upgrade on a new SUV that still has the new car smell in it when you get in the vehicle. My sister-in-law went to the Slovenian bakery in Ohio to get some things my mom requested. She stopped @ Marc's to get some Giannio's chocolates for both my mom and me. She baked cookies too. She made the Italian dunker cookies, and they turned out wonderful along with another cookie too. We will be staying @ a Hilton too. Short but meaningful trip.

Guess what? On my mother's birthday she is doing one of her favorite things, it is painting class today. She checked with the instructor and my sister, sister-in-law, great niece and I are allowed to join her and paint a picture on canvas today, imagine that! Family dinner tonight and Bosnian restaurant tomorrow for lunch. She loves shopping at the grocery store connected to the restaurant for Eastern European foods. I do not know how anyone drives to the Nashville airport cuz it can be busy. Their flight was delayed the other night, but I was there to pick them up. Only thru the eyes of a child could this experience ever happen. Apparently on their flight there was some heavy turbulence due to weather. Lola thought it felt like being on a roller coaster and enjoyed the feeling in the plane turbulence like being on that roller coaster. She even said can we do that again. A child and childlike experiences may have caused other adults around her to take some comfort in hearing her sweet giggle, laughter.

We had a busy day yesterday, oh my goodness the energy of a young child sure can run you down. We started the day off with me making breakfast then off to the pool for swim time/sun time and fellowship. We had the pool literally all to ourselves the whole time we were out there. I gave them a tour of our leasing center facility and when my sister--in-law saw the hydro massage chair she told me I should be using that. Her husband uses one all the time where he works out and it helps. We did shopping, shopping and more shopping. This high heat combined with humidity sure can make you a bit drained energy wise. I promised Lola, I would take her to a candy store, and I don't think there really are any of them where I reside. I was telling my sister this the other day and I mentioned Sprouts Market. That was a great idea, Lola was able to pick out a few gummy type of candy choices and we combined them all together for the road trip snack for her. I then said let's not go out to eat I can make quesadillas for dinner, and I did. Before that I did say I would try out the hydro massage chair that day. After shopping they put on their bathing suits and off to the pool they went while I tried the hydro chair. I will be using this more frequently now that I experienced it once. There is no charge to use this, and it is only available during leasing hours. What a nice amenity for after work relaxation. Oh, while they were at the pool there were other kids in the pool this time, she had someone to swim with. She takes gymnastic classes and her arms sure do have strength in them. She doesn't use the ladder to get out of the pool. She uses her arms and gets out of the pool by lifting herself up.

It was now nighttime; Lola had her bath and off to bed for her and I still had to make the Dolly Parton Coconut cake mix as cupcakes. I was getting tired, so I put the ingredients together as my sister-in-law mixed the batter. The plan is to take them and then decorate them at my sister's home for my mom to enjoy and then share with people where she lives. I got really cute cupcake paper liners with 2 different sunflower designs on them. My sister-in-law filled the cups with the batter and into the oven they went. On the cake mix box it said to bake them 16-19 minutes. We had to bake them a bit longer than the instructions say to do if you are going to make them.

We are open to doing whatever my mom wants to do for Sunday. We hopefully will get some more pool time in the day we head back to Nashville and rest up for their early morning flight back home for them. I will try to take a few pictures and share on this Holy Spirit adventure. Yes, it is a Holy Spirit adventure because He planted the seed and watched it miraculously grow and flow. I wonder if this has anything to do with multiplication of blessing from recent financial seed planting on my part. You give to God what you have, and He blesses it and creates from nothing great blessings. Be very cautious where you plant financial seeds into a ministry. You better truly hear the voice of Holy Spirit in the times in which we live in. Some ministries may give the appearance of being good soil to plant it but there just may be some behind the scenes deception, take warning. Then, other ministries that may have the appearance of being the outcast amongst other ministries just may be more pure and rich soil to plant financial offerings into. Let Holy Spirit be your guide ok. Gotta go now but the sweet smell of freshly baked coconut cake cupcakes still lingers in the air by the kitchen. Thanks, Dolly Parton, for bringing a bit of whimsical fun to my mother's day.
