This Is A Good 1, Where I Reside, We Were Informed Yesterday That We Are Forced To Not Only Use But Pay 30.00 A Month Added To Rent For Valet Trash Removal.

The leasing office sent out an email announcing valet trash removal starting 1/1/2023. Mind you, we only received this news on 12/29/2023. Oddly enough it does not list the monthly fee the tenants are to pay. How do I know it is 30.00 a month? They finally released a few months' worth of water bills (August thru October) for us to pay, finally. I noticed the 5.00 trash removal fee was not listed on the water bill along with 3.00 pest control that were always listed on the bill. Pest control was still there but no trash removal fee listed. I went in the office to thank them for releasing water bills to us and then inquired that trash removal was not listed.

I was given the info via the assistant property manager. I inquired if we had the option to not participate and still take out trash to the compactor. I was told no to the inquiry. So, apparently it will be added onto your monthly rent. This is so ludicrous to only be told not even a week or 30 days prior notice that you will have to participate. I then sent a reply email inquiring why they did not list the monthly cost to the tenant and if it will be added to the water bill. Also asked if one did not want to basically sanitize the trash can and then store it in their apartment when it is  ot trach removal day. Of course, they will ignore that email and not respond. They tend to do this frequently. Residents who pay a premium to reside here are treated not as good, pay on time guests that choose to live here. Not some dead beats.

So, I just killed a spider in my apartment and will this trash removal stuff cause more critters to appear in apartments now. I quite honestly am very fussy about germs, and I do not think I should have to pay to sanitize my trash can that was touched and handled by others and who knows if they even sanitize their hands, gloves in between touching other trash cans. They should be sanitizing these for us with the hefty 30.00 a month fee we will be forced to pay. Quite honestly, I will not use this service and continue to take out my own trash. Why don't you get pest control taken care of before venturing out into other territories.

Since President Trump's Tax Returns Are Being Released Today, Whose Will We See Next? Possibly Nancy Pelosi. The List Can Now Be Expanded. Maybe Dr. Fauci Will Share His Tax Returns With The American People. I Am Sure The People Would Like To Have A Look At Them.

President Trump hang in there and be encouraged this very day. For many months now I have been praying the daily prayer for the President of The USA but oddly enough without a name attached to it. Until today, Holy Spirit released me to place a name with the prayer and Holy Spirit prompted me and chose your name to pray this prayer on your behalf. I prayed this same prayer faithfully for both you and President Obama when he was in office. For some unknown reason I was kept from placing a name attached to this very prayer for quite some time now.

So, since they opened up the can of worms so to speak about showing the American people President Trump's tax returns then I would think it is only fair and the right thing to do is show the people other well-known people their tax returns. When can we expect to have them, all presented to us. Amazing to see if it will go silent on this simple request. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Take all lids off and let's start sharing those tax returns. Oh, if you have nothing to hide then this simple request should be an easy request to fulfill. How many years of tax returns, oh 6 so let the general public see what you have reported on your tax returns. There I go thinking out loud again. If I am thinking this, then how many others are thinking along the very same line of thought.

Biden Administration You Are Missing The Mark On This One. Don't Send The Single, Illegal Males To Nashville, That Is A Democratic Mayor. Why Burden Him & Send Them To Governor Lee's City Where He Resides?

I think you missed the mark on this upcoming opportunity Biden Administration. Why would you saddle down a Democratic Mayor of the city of Nashville with this influx of male, single illegals? If you want to draw a point across then send them to the city where the Republican Governor resides. He is a governor that I have found to not really have a strong backbone or strong constitution for defending the citizens of TN. He could choose to send them elsewhere and does not so let him have the blessing of receiving them into his community where he resides. Just thinking out loud again.

The Words Of Comfort Holy Spirit Gave Me The Other Day Were More Prophetic Then I Realized. Just A Few Hours After Sharing Them On My Blog I Received A Phone Call.

I composed this over a week ago, but it sat as a draft because another testimony needed to be added to this and you will find it at the end. Throughout this time span I have been burning my Hanukkah candles in my menorah each night and praying too. Last set of candles are all set for me to burn this evening. There is something beautiful about the glow of the flames coming forth from the candles, peace, peace and more peace.

I thought the words I received from Holy Spirit interpretation given to me from praying in tongues was marked from a prior event in my life. Not so much so I come to find out. Literally, a few hours after I published that blog entry, I received a phone call in regard to my mother. I am not sharing what it was about, but I knew what to do, what I am called to do best. A prayer of agreement with my sibling. I step aside and let Holy Spirit flow through me with the exact words He knows what will cover the situation placed before you. Guess what? I reached out to my spiritual mom in Ohio and asked her for prayer. As she prayed, I am noticing the majority of what she prayed was what I prayed with my sibling earlier that day. I shared that with her, and she responded that her praying was a confirmation of what I prayed.

I have things going on in my life right now that I seem to be leaning toward not going to Atlanta to see my mom next week. The original plan was she along with my 2 children were coming to TN for Christmas because of these things going on in my life that I was not going to go to Atlanta this year for Christmas. I did not ask anyone or solicit from them to come here instead. They chose to make that decision and then let me know. I have time to take off with pay and I was going to use that when they came for the visit. Things are looking like that plan is being altered a bit. One of my children will be going to Atlanta to see their Nana and the other one lives there. They are urging me to go to Altana, but I do not feel this unction at this time to go. I am not comfortable driving in my car for 4 hours there and back because of feeling cramped and aching after a long trip like that. Then I am not in my own bed, and I cannot soak in the tub also while there. I know what works for me in my own setting at home. My children are considering driving to TN to spend a few days near Christmas with me and I also told them my blessing was with them if they could not get to TN too, to do what they need to do.

I prepared food and it is in the freezer, and it is a bit too much for me to lug all that stuff with me to the car to then take to Atlanta. Have to load up my car with luggage, gifts, food, cookies I baked and have no one to help me with this. That puts strain on my physically and then have to get in the car and drive for 4 hours. A bit too much for me at this season in my life. I then have to have the gas money to get there and back home. I have to follow Holy Spirit in this because He sees the whole picture not just maybe a portion my children see. They said they do understand if I do not make the journey.

When I received the phone call the other day, I did what I do best, bake. That day I baked Reese peanut butter cup cookies, and another cookie recipe which you make a cocoa dough and wrap it around a Hershey's mint truffle candy and bake them. They sort of look like butterball cookies but with cocoa and no walnuts in them. I also made the cookie dough for butterball cookies and a cream cheese butter cookie with sprinkles. I baked them the next day. All baking is done now.

The other day it was exhausting with getting the phone calls and then updating people on the phone too. I was tired and just wanted to rest a bit that evening so I stumbled upon World Outreach Church Childrens Christmas program and found delight in viewing it. Amongst all of this I am working some overtime too. I have a pretty full plate so to speak and I have found God is faithful in all things He really is. Oh, on occasion my car fob does not turn over the engine to start the car, so I keep both sets of keys with me. I cannot be on the road away from home and get stranded because there really is no one to come and rescue me. When you are single you learn to adapt and do what is best for your life, you truly do.

There is one thing that stayed with me throughout the day. Go to my car and bring into my apartment the song by James W. Goll, "Miracle Hymn." It was like Holy Spirit was wooing me with that particular song to calm me down inside and release into the atmosphere the expectancy and anticipation of miracles. That is how it works with me. He nudges me and I then have to choose to follow through in His gentle nudges.

It was the other day I felt Holy Spirit wanted me to bless 2 children of one of the leasing staff in the office where I reside. I went in search of 2.00 bills at the bank and I was able to buy 4 of them. This is terrible, we are no longer in covid mode so why are there restrictions still in place and they blame it on covid. The bank used to be able to order 2.00 bills until covid changed all of that. So, it truly is a blessing when you can find some at a bank anymore. I knew where 2 were going but not the other two. Here is the testimony ... I am standing in line @ a Dollar Tree Store because one of my children likes pretzels, so I bought the bag of snack sized pretzels. I struck up a conversation with the young mom ahead of me in line and her young son, Josiah was such a delight. There was a display of reading glasses, and he was telling his mom a color of one of the glasses. I then said do you see the orange one, he pointed to it and a few more colors he also pointed to when I asked him if he saw that particular color, I asked him about. It was in that moment that Holy Spirit wanted me to ask if it was ok to give her son a 2.00 bill for snacks. When I pulled it out of my purse, she got tears in her eyes. She began to share how her Grannie gave the same to them and she was in heaven for about a year now and her birthday would have been on Christmas. She thanked me and I said thank Jesus it was a gift from Him not me. She carefully placed it in her wallet so as to not fold it. I am standing in line and somehow, I noticed 2 lines long with people behind us. Holy Spirit set up this event to witness to listening ears that Jesus does give gifts. I shared how my 93-year-old mother always did this for the grandchildren when they were young. We went about our day. Oh, I thought to myself while waiting to be next to check out I said to Josiah in the beginning the money was to get a snack. Oh my gosh, I had a pretzel snack in my hands. I asked his mom if it was ok to give him the snack, I mentioned to him. She said yes and I gave him a bag of the pretzels snack size. As we were in line, she also shared with me that when she was pregnant with him, and they were having an ultrasound his dad heard the words to name him Josiah. Don't tell me God does not speak still today because He does.

After that I dropped off 2 more of the 2.00 bills in the leasing office for her children. I don't do this without asking the parent first if it was ok with them. So, one more remains, and it is going to my mother in her Christmas card along with her Christmas gifts. My children when visiting with Nana did Face Time with me so I could see and talk to my mother. I shared the 2.00 bill stories with her because she was the one in our family that started the 2.00 legacy/tradition with the children in our family. That brought a smile to her face. My children will be coming to TN for a short visit with me. I baked early this morning pepperoni 3 cheese homemade bread, made sour cream french onion mixed with some ranch dry dip mix to make a chip dip for them. Tonight meatloaf (my sons request), tuna noodle casserole (my daughters request). I made a side of cornbread stuffing and will make roasted broccoli with lemon infused olive oil and seasonings and salad also. Christmas dinner will be stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers and all the side dishes to go with that also. My son requested if I could make mish mosh one morning. I boil a few gold potatoes to chop them up and in butter along with bacon, sausage, I have some fresh spinach too and onion you then add eggs and of course cheese to finish it off. I told them I have pub style cheddar cheese with horseradish that might be a good choice to add as the cheese. I also thawed out some of my homemade Challah bread for them to enjoy too.

Of course, what mom doesn't get snacks to have on hand also and my baked cookies too. Even in the midst of what is going on with my mom she still requested I send with my son for her the 3 Sarma's I froze for her. Oh, there may have been adjustments to our original visit plans, but we will still go and see the Frank Lights in Franklin since I literally bought the ticket moments before I received the phone call about my mother. God is good all the time and ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD.

Hang In There President Trump. You Must Be Doing Something Right That They Keep Coming After You. Remember, Listen To "Miracle Hymn" By James W. Goll.

Well, it appears to be that President Trump is definitely doing something right since man once again is trying to come after him with accusations. Hang in there President Trump because man's attempts will only be thwarted by God's protection and divine destiny being fulfilled in your life. When things tend to look bleak around you that is when He does His greatest work and miracles explode, they really do. Seek out that song and music video too of James W. Goll singing "Miracle Hymn." Play it or review it several times because it cleanses the atmosphere where it is played. I know this because I have experienced it several times now. While it is played in my home or car. I think I need to get it out again today and play it in "repeat" mode. I will probably start that up once I post this blog today. I just gave that music CD with that song on it as a gift to a medical office yesterday.

Be encouraged because when it is the darkest it seems to be around you is when the light and power of Jesus permeates the surrounding. Who is fool enough to mess with a fight with Jesus himself. Oh, I have the answer to that silly question. It is satan and his minions but guess what that is just a tiny hiccup in the moment. He knows his time is very near and soon when Jesus will come and claim His people and he will be locked up for the 1,000-year reign when Jesus will be ruling and reigning here on earth with us. Praise God for that bright glimmer of hope promised to us in the bible. Read it in scripture for yourself Revelation 20. My bible translation has the heading in this chapter "An Angel Overpowers the Devil."

Years ago, Holy Spirit showed me something and it is a great and powerful image for you to see in your mind. Holy Spirit showed me that satan may seem to have this really big bark or appearance of having power but what I was shown will give you a glimmer of hope today. He showed me the power the saints of God (meaning us here down on earth) have over him and likened it to a very tiny pea, you know not even a regular garden pea but petite sized pea, the minnie version of a pea. Visualize a pea that tiny on the ground ok. Then step on the pea with your foot. It takes no effort at all when doing that to crush and smash the pea does it? Pretty simple. Pray, read the bible and even if it helps you read some of the scriptures out loud and let that permeate the atmosphere along with playing that song too. All is well, all is well because God is on the throne. Like I have told you all so many times before, He sees all, He knows all, and He is in all places at the same time all the time. When He has enough, He will stand up and speak forth the words of life and even 1 word from God will cause the deer to give birth and strips the forest bare.  Read it in Psalm 29. He is God and God alone that will not be mocked or made fun of.

People, if you are doing that in your very life I would repent while there is still time to do so. You do not want to remain here on earth during the times of tribulation, read about it in the book of Revelation in the bible. Repent and ask forgiveness of Jesus. Let the blood He shed on Calvary wash you white as snow and He will forgive you. Just ask Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life. He will, try it. I can attest to the fact that He did that very thing in my very life. Jesus is not dead and buried in some tomb somewhere. He rose from the dead 3 days later after he died and is in heaven seated at the right hand of His father. Holy Spirit cleanse the hearts and bodies of those that are turning to Jesus when they read this blog and their heart begins to beat to the wooing of You drawing them to Jesus. Seal the words upon their hearts once they give their heart to Jesus. If you just responded to the invitation know that the angels in heaven rejoiced at your decision to give your life to Jesus, pretty amazing isn't it. Living with Jesus is better than any sin you lived in your life prior to having Jesus in your heart, welcome to the family of God.

President Biden What Is Your Plan For Us Having To Deal With Non-Speaking Venezuelans Keeping Us Up With Their Loud, Boisterous Party Noise?

The non-speaking Venezuelan neighbors were at it again late last night and into the early day today. We are instructed where we reside by the leasing office to call the non-emergency police phone number when dealing with loud after quiet hours residents that are having parties. This happened again. This time I placed the call, and the police came out the 1st time and the noise echos into the surrounding apartments and they answered the door with the first words that they don't speak English. I think the officer maybe went into their apartment and then left. Even with that they kept up the loud noises again, so the 2nd phone call was made to the police department again. The police came out a second time. A noise call like this is such a waste of the officer's time when they are dealing with big time things that police deal with on a regular basis, to have to add in noise complaint visits in the midst of their work.

I also took a short video clip and sent it to the easing office asking what they will be doing to correct this situation. I then sent a follow up email to them letting them know the police were called out 2 times for this issue. If people are going to come into our country, then the least they can do is respect rules and regulations where they reside.

President Biden and your administration, if I am experiencing this then how many others are experiencing like situations in our beautiful country The United States of America. There I go again thinking out loud.

More Lovely Songs To Share, Compliments of CBN Music Radio. Thanks CBN.

If you all knew the extent of things going on now actively in my life you would think, how can she find the time for music. Let me share something that popped into my mind just yesterday. You all think people in the ministry are sugary sweet, kind and loveable because of appearances given when you may see them on a platform, social media platform or even listen to their Christian music projects they produce. Not so, sad to say, not so. A story that is of truth and not hearsay was shared with me months ago that sort of had my heart sink when it was shared with me. People in the ministry are not poor financially speaking so they have money to buy the best of the best when it comes to maybe court cases and things of that nature. More in a financial position than let's say the average person may have.

Why don't we hear about these things in the Christian circle of news because they somehow tend to keep them hush hush when if the world knew of them, they would not be so happy hearing what is reality going on in their personal life. Sad to say but that is the reality of this all. Why are not these things found out and for all the world to hear. I really was shocked when the story was relayed to me.

I have to be careful so as to not give too many details because it is not my place to expose another. I am just sharing with you so you cannot become naive as I have become throughout the years. I tend to trust people so very easy and when I find out things are not so, it could be a not so gentle let down. Never place anyone on a pedestal so high up because the only one that should be elevated is Jesus, not man, woman or even child lifted up above Jesus. If one needs to go to court against another, please know you can see the true human, fleshly side of another and it just may not be a pleasant picture. It may even have you wondering to yourself what one would be experiencing seeing this other side of the person not portrayed in their sheltered life existence. You know what, if these Christian ministers would only let down their true guard, then we would possibly be on the same playing field so to speak.

There are ministers out there sad to say that maybe create a realm of getting their followers on social media to feel empathy towards them and that could be unfortunately a ploy in regard to raising money for the ministry. Women be cautious of male ministers that tend to pull on the sympathetic side of your nature. Men also be cautious of female ministers that do it in the same manner but maybe package it a little different. Hey, everyone be cautious be it a female or male minister because both can do the same. Either way it is not truthful and there is some deception going on there and quite frankly it is time for this garbage to be exposed so innocent people are spared from getting the true identity let down in their lives. Listen to Holy Spirit here and when to place offerings into a ministry. Not all aspects of a ministry may be where you plant seed offerings. Maybe one area is pure and other areas a bit tainted or in some cases one thing went wrong within the ministry and all areas are tainted.

Sometimes I struggle with this aspect because I at heart am truly trusting of others. Now, I am not a fool and once I have been shown truth may be questionable my discernment antenna goes up and WARNING is all around me. As hard as it may be, trust those gut instincts because planting financial seed in one of the tainted areas could be the possible stop or hold up of miracles and blessings in your life from flowing. When you figure it out stick with giving into the areas that produce open doors and blessings in your life.

Don't know where that all came from just now because I thought I was just going to share beautiful Christmas music with you. Especially during the holiday season when people tend to be a bit more giving in their nature, pause and seek Holy Spirit when and where to give. Let's move onto the main thing at hand, beautiful Christmas music I heard played on CBN Christian Music Radio. Here are my finds to share with you today:

President Biden Thanks To Your Administrations Leadership Skills I Am Looking @ A Potential 300.00 Each Month Rental Increase Where I Reside. You Are Doing 1 Heck Of A Fabulous Job @ Looking Out For The Citizens Of The USA. Kudos To You & Your Administration.

When do godly and even ungodly folks that live in the USA say we are not too happy with the way things are being run in our country? This is not the country I grew up in this is like we are living in some foreign country that has crazy rules and regulations that the majority of citizens are not giving their stamp of approval to. Meaning things are getting passed and put into law and spending bills we did not elect officials to go carte blanche spending with our hard-earned money that turned into tax dollars. Unfortunately, how the old mindset went is our money is being stretched thin but not for our good but for the good of those in Washington spending our money out of control. Causing us to truly have to find ways to survive on the earnings we make and find places like stores that purchase buyout goods. Meaning things others purchased and then returned that are then being re-sold at other stores. Even at that the deals are not so good deals out there. Why would you pay a certain amount of hard-earned dollars to purchase a beautiful leather electric powered recliner chair with a gash in the leather on one of the recliner arms of the chair? People do though. This is not a hidden blemish but a blemish right there for all to see it.

Maybe what our country needs is a good old fashioned government shutdown to bring us springing back into reality. I know it would be tough on people for the moment but if that is what it takes to stop this crazy spending then just do it. We are not electing people to go to Washington with the attitude and actions to have a free spending without constraints on things hidden in bills being passed by our elected official's way of taking care of the people. We are allowing unknown people with unknown problems, disease, and ill will that they wish upon our beautiful country to infiltrate our communities across this beautiful land of ours. Land of the free because of the brave that so diligently fought and still do fight for our freedoms in all the branches of the armed service in our great nation. You do not have to be a person of a certain high intellect to see these things taking place right in front of your very eyes do you.

Lord Jesus in all of Your mercy and compassion bring forth the angels that will and do hold back the forces and winds of destruction upon your people, upon your land. Let not our country be destroyed by a seemingly greedy group of people that have ill will and not the best intentions for our country and our people. We have become the laughingstock around the world, and we need to come back to being a nation with high standards once again. Raise up the people Holy Spirit that can run for government positions to take us back to the high standards this country was so well respected for not too long ago that was. Holy Spirit put urgency within Your people to get out and vote these people into office. Bring in creative miracles and blessings abound to our great nation and smile upon us once again and not frown upon the blatant and rabid sin so frequently being taunted before the very eyes/ears/lives of Godly people. Turn that frown upside down with a mighty move of God sweeping across our nation with the true Gospel being preached and true worship also being sung throughout the land. Freedom, freedom, freedom to worship God as free people do, in spirit and in truth. A people that fears the Lord and respects human sanctity of life. Both inside the mother's womb and outside the womb too. That is my prayer I present to you today Holy Spirit and I say amen too.

Allowing deadly drugs to flood our country from evil ones bringing it into our country is destroying people's lives. Probably too numerous to keep up with the number of contacts to parents letting them know their cherished child/loved one died of an overdose dealing with fentanyl of some sort. Is this America or Sodom & Gomorrah. You decide because what if it is a bit of both. Why are Christians and better yet, pastors across America not praying/fasting in fervent prayer to take back Godly ideals we used to have in our country.

No one likes to be the butt of a bad joke, but we are being that very thing to countries across the world. How sad is that, how sad is that.

The Venezuelan neighbors of ours are quite rude and do not seem to have consideration for those that live around them where I reside. A few of us neighbors figured this one out. They don't reside in the apartment now during the week but use the apartment as their party place on the weekends. They are loud, play loud music and think the breezeway is their own personal phone booth so to speak and get away with all of these antics. What I mean about the phone booth comment is they place their phones on speaker phone mode and talk in a foreign language for all to hear. Isn't that just rude, not respecting the rights of other neighbors to live peacefully within their unit. Who wants to hear other people's conversations in your own unit let alone jibber jabber in a foreign language. Why are they not attempting to assimilate to our country's ways. When the opportunity arises, I will let them know that that phone booth mentality is not practiced here in the USA like it may have been a custom to do so in the country in which they came from. A neighbor told me that when walking their dog one-night that apartments blinds were open and there was no furniture in the apartment? What is that all about. When you inquire about different people coming and going in that apartment and having safety concerns do you know what the leasing office tells you? "Guests" are allowed to stay in any unit for 48 hours or something to that affect. Meaning these strangers have a right to be there. No background checks being done on these so-called guests so who in the heck are these people living amongst us?

So, Mr. President I present to you this quandary. Looks like I will have to take out a loan against my hard-earned savings in retirement to be able to allow me to have money set aside as a security deposit, moving expenses and have in reserve the added finances needed to be able to compensate for the lack of financial income to find a new place to reside and meet the monthly rental fee. A quiet place that is without having to deal with the disturbances of others I have put up with recently. I am willing to even move to a new place that I would even have to consider driving an hour away to get to and back home from work.

Do Not Let The Words Of Others Bring You Down, You Are In Control Of What You Choose To Believe And Receive Word Wise In Your Very Life. May I Share ...

It took place the other day. Holy Spirit had me compose a correspondence and I sent it off. After I sent it off I in the meantime began to speak forth declarations and proclamations out loud. That is not unusual for me to do as Holy Spirit leads me to do this from a book I have of Cindy Trimm. What was unique this morning is I began to cry during this time, and I never did that before. At times hard tears as I was speaking forth beautiful proclamations. It was almost like I was sensing an attack of some sort was about to come against me, like being spiritually blindsided if that makes sense. Sure enough it happened a bit later and at first, I thought is this set of words going to take the wind out of my sail. I paused and sought Holy Spirit and He gave me the very words to respond as He so wanted me to respond.

I chose that very day to not allow this to bring me down to the level of oh poor me, but I rose above it for the entire day. People, if you are not in accordance with God and the scriptures, I don't care what you believe but you would not be able to flow in creativity. I flowed in creativity that day and baked 2 new dessert recipes. Oh, some will tell you that the gifts of God given to you are not revokable and I agree with that but flowing easily in them is another story. To have no hinderances and move in grace and love is a God thing, it truly is. As I was speaking forth the proclamations, I felt this sense of also needing to get out one of my deliverance manuals and pray the daily warfare prayer. That thought stayed with me throughout the day. I went to bed that evening and I sensed 2 things Holy Spirit wanted me to end the day in: pray that daily warfare prayer and then pray in tongues.  I did both as He beckoned me to do, and I received the most beautiful words of interpretation I wrote and received from Holy Spirit in a journal @ 12:19AM now it was 12/12/2022.

May I share bits and pieces of those words with you, maybe they will bring hope and comfort to you. Know this, when God sends you and sends you forth, He is with you, and He is your protector and the defender of your very life.

"As time progresses you will find yourself stepping into glory & the glory cloud. I know you don't see but sense things of this nature & that is how it makes your testimony & faith true faith. As you sensed to look upward if you only knew the # of the cloud of witnesses present & cheering you on. You have no idea as to the great magnitude of powerful prayers being prayed on your behalf. You are not afraid to follow my lead when I guide. You pause & step aside to let Me step into the situation and guide your very words. Do not doubt that you hear what you hear & write down for in these moments you will cause even the toughest of tough to fall to their knees & ask repentance of Me, Christ Jesus & in pure humility they will rise up from off of their knees in humility & compassion for soon and very near the books will be opened & examined and exposed will be the lies & deceit and a cleansing of the house with purity & life. Abundant life @ that you will see this before your very eyes. Do not give up hope but rejoice that the angels are forever always there to assist you & your needs. Refresh & restore I speak to your life this very day saith the Lord of the host - the mighty warring angels released to you & the cheers of the cloud of witnesses. I hear them Lord cheering me on & loud whistles they are whistling. Thank you, Jesus, my Lord, life my everything Amen & so it be this 12th day of December in the year 2022 Amen."

I humbly submit this writing to you all this very day 12/14/2022.

When Is Reverse Discrimination Towards People Not Of Color Going To End In Our Country, USA? No One Seems To Talk About That Subject.

I can attest to this happening because I have experienced it. I was perfectly fine living in Ohio in which I did not see discrimination of any sort whatsoever including me attending a multi-cultural, multi-racial church. I did not see color in people I worshiped with at all. I saw the love of Jesus in people I worshiped, prayed with and served the church community with.

It was not until I moved to the Atlanta region (a southern state) in which 2 times I can recall in which it as blatant and quite obvious that my skin color (white/Caucasian) was a factor in which I was well overqualified for two particular jobs I went on interviews for. I think somewhere in my blog entries I already wrote about this. I was basically at the hands/mercy of the people of color that were interviewing me at the time. When did race become a factor in a job interview. I wish I was a little bit more aggressive at the time in reporting this sort of stuff going on to someone.

My children would say to me Mom have a heart for those that experience this all the time because of the color of their skin. You only experienced this a few times in your life. What about them that have experienced this over and over again? Was I safer living in Ohio in which this was not a part of my world so to speak or was I called out of my safe space to experience what the rest of the country experiences? I do not know, and it would not be fair to say leaving Ohio was a mistake because I have seen miracles, open doors for me to walk through and beautiful moves of God in my life even though I experienced them in Ohio. I was experiencing them outside of the borders of Ohio. I do believe that once I decided to leave Ohio my faith level actually increased. I truly do walk by faith in my life. When others may be gifted to see in the spirit realm I only sense even though so many times I asked to see what I sense from Holy Spirit.

It was at a retreat a few years ago in Gatlinburg, TN that I experienced for myself supernatural happenings the weekend. I believe it was at the last session that Saturday night. I believe angels were there in that lodge where the meetings were held. The rest of the attendees were seated in front of the speaker that night. I for some reason chose sitting on the step leading up to the upstairs area as the spot for me to sit during this retreat. It was comfortable for my back because I brought a memory cushion type of chair pad for me to sit on while sitting on the steps. It worked for me.

I guess you could say I was elevated above others physically in the room because I would sit on one of the steps going up the staircase. The other thing to mention was I was seeing a side view as opposed to seeing the speaker facing the main audience. There were times during that session in which the speaker would turn their head in the direction of the stairs (there were a few other people sitting on the stairs also) as if they were speaking/preaching to me directly. On those very stairs I experienced 2 supernatural events in my life. There was a point in which we were asked to stand up and take a step-in faith. Quandary of some sort how does one do this being on a step, you only have the space that a step allows you. I followed through in the act of faith and found that somehow, I was gently pushed over downward in direction on that step. When I tried to get up upright again it was as if I was being held down by an angel and then I felt the release as I was unfrozen in action to stand up upright again. On the step location I was standing where my left shoulder was closest to the stair railing and so stepping out in faith as the instruction was given to us meant turning to my right on the single step to take the physical step in faith. That never happened to me before in this type of situation. In Ohio when I would be slain in the spirit at the altar, I did experience several times when laying on the floor resting in the Spirit not being able to just get up on my own. It was like I knew there was more work Holy Spirit was doing in me as I laid there. Then the release would come, and I knew my time to get up was then because the Holy Spirit work was done in me, and I was released to get up off of the floor and go back to my seat. There would be times as I laid there, I can only describe it as having moments of divine ecstasy if that makes sense to you. Not in a weird way but a heavenly way, this feeling of total and incredible love flowed in me, and I knew it was the presence of God because this deep-down smile would come on my face because of the overwhelming love of God resting upon me healing my heart. 

What I experienced in Gatlinburg was elevated from what I just described about resting in the spirit. The second supernatural experience took place at the close of this session. My eyes were supernaturally open to seeing in the spirit realm as if I was seeing what I saw in the natural realm. From where I stood, I actually saw a flame of fire. I thought to myself are they burning something in the area in which I saw this flame of fire. This experience caused me to be drawn to that very spot after the session ended to see if there was an actual flame of fire of some sort burning there in the natural. There was not in the natural, but I was allowed to have the veil pulled back from my spiritual eyes/vision to see the flame burning in the spiritual realm. I waited in line to speak briefly to the speaker, and they were ministering to another person. They briefly opened their eyes and when they looked at me for a moment, I also saw their blue colored eyes look like flames of fire in their eyes. Imagine that I was not even going to attend this retreat, but God wanted me there, so I went by walking in faith. My life was changed at that very retreat and I would never be the same again so to speak after my supernatural experiences.

Let me back up a bit to what took place earlier that day. I heard Holy Spirit ever so clear to wear my solid orange top that day. I did, and as I was getting ready in the bathroom of the air b-n-b I stayed at I saw a very large in size feather just gently float from the sky as I watched it. When I was walking to my car, I looked for this feather and it was nowhere for me to find that morning. I did inquire of someone at the retreat about that happening to me and they replied it was a sign from Holy Spirit that I was meant to be there at that retreat that very weekend. At the morning session the main speaker stated that they wondered why someone wore an orange top that day. Oh, how I wanted to spurt out because Holy Spirit told me to wear it, but I did not. After that comment was made I gingerly/discreetly looked around the room and I was the only one wearing an orange top. I have shared with you before that it is Holy Spirit that directs me what to wear and when to wear it because he is so much a part of my daily walk with Him. I do believe that even things in your daily walk with Him matter to Him. Listen to His still, soft voice because He is never wrong. Could it be that wearing the orange top earlier that day was the precursor to me seeing a flame that very night. I know this for a fact that someone in the audience must have been paying attention to me in the orange top. I baked like I so often do to bless hosts of events and I made the oatmeal bars and brought a plate for the host apostle to have. I also left a plate of dessert with the hosts of the place I stayed at along with a thank you note. It was an 1800's farmhouse that had individual suites. The most beautiful mural was painted on the walls in the hallway as you walked to your room. Recently I searched for that air b-n-b, and it must have been bought by new owners. Unfortunately, they did not have the vision to keep the painted mural scenes on the hallway wall. See, it was a destiny moment for me staying there when I did because it is no longer the same place today.

Back to the story now. That night I noticed the plate of oatmeal bars was still by the registration table and I inquired to don't forget to bless the apostle with them. No sooner did I say that, and a woman of color spoke up I guess on my behalf and said it was ok for them to give it to the apostle because I was the lady in the orange top. Was someone talking about me during the day? I have no idea because I did not stay at the lodge but rented my own place away from the city lights of downtown Gatlinburg, I believe I stayed in Sevierville. I enjoyed the drive back and forth to the retreat in between sessions. I almost don't want to go back to Gatlinburg because I would classify it in some respect as a holy weekend ordained by God for me to have been there. How could I go back when I had amazing things to experience at that retreat because I would not want to experience a letdown if things were not on the same level or even more so than what I already experienced that weekend.

Somehow, I am to incorporate into this blog entry that to people not of color in the USA watching what just took place in the exchange of prisoners with Russia does not look good. Why was one race chosen over another to fight for their release and not the other person not of color? It looks like blatant choosing to fight for one over the other. If you look at the facts one did do something illegal by taking in drugs to the country and the other was alleged of a crime, did they really commit it. Wrongfully being detained for a few years now. I do not only point this out to the current administration but also the former administration was offered a deal for a swap with Russia, and they turned down the deal. Well, did anyone ever think that the current administration should have negotiated a bit better like we are not taking 1 over the other because we have to face the American people with the choice we made, to choose one over the other. That is basic common sense. You stand firm and say both or nothing and walk away from the table and let them counter the offer if they really wanted the person they were placing before you as the swap in prisoners. Maybe they should have sent a woman that is a mother to negotiate that deal. A mother would not pick one child over the other. Remember the account in the bible when 2 mothers wanted the same child, and both claimed it was their baby. They went before King Solomon read it in 1Kings 3:16-28. The truth was revealed, and God will not be mocked. You chose one of His children over the other when He loves all of His children. You will be held accountable to God Almighty one day to hold accountability for your actions here on earth. We all will be held accountable for our actions here on earth when we are before God on that day. People repent while there is still time left because the time may be sooner than later that Jesus is coming to claim His people. Be ready for it could happen when you least expect it and are you in the group of the 5 prepared virgins in the bible or the group of the 5 unprepared virgins? Read about that also in the bible in Matthew 25:1-13.

Maybe there is a lot of overloads in this blog entry today, but it is something to think about. There I go speaking out loud again.

I Did Not Watch A Christmas Movie Last Night 12/11/2022 I Watched Something More Important. Jesse Duplantis @ Rodney Howard Brownes Church Gathering. Mighty Powerful.

I was beginning to search for a movie, but I had on the channel while finishing up baking Jesse Duplantis preaching/teaching/sharing. As I was beginning to watch as I sat down on the couch, he is walking through the aisle's ministering to people. How refreshing is that. A minister actually reaching out to the people in attendance and not just giving words to the main platform people and their associates. Isn't it how it used to be a bit ago. Not ministry to just those you know but the hurting people attending the service.

He paused when he got to a certain section of the room and came back to the front near the platform, and all of a sudden gave an altar call for people who hate their mothers. That is a pretty strong altar call. He said when he was in that section, he sensed the spirit of hate and from there Holy Spirit showed him which kind of hate. I guessed maybe a few people would respond to this altar call. There were very many people that responded. A long line across the front of very hurting adults both male and female responded to this altar call.

My heart was gripped as I saw him minister to these hurting people. I could not help thinking to myself what kind of mothers that are out there hurting their children so deeply. I began to cry as these people were getting restored and prayed for by Jesse. As it flows with Holy Spirit, there were some that were highlighted to him, and he would speak forth what Holy Spirit was saying to that particular person.

I still cannot get over the fact that there are mothers out there that did not so good things or said evil words to their very own children. They were hurt to the point that they hated their mother. The mother is supposed to be the nurturing one in a child's life speaking life and not evil words to the children God gave to them. Lord have mercy on those that had hateful mothers growing up with them wounding children growing up and the wounds still stayed with them as adults.

My heart ached for these that responded to the altar call. Lord bless these individuals in a mighty way and total restoration to each and every one of them. Lord touch those mothers and show them the way to bring life back into their child's life and total restoration of these once broken relationships in Jesus name I pray amen.

Did I Rest Or Did I Bake Today 12/11/2022?

I figure I will have time to rest when I retire in a few years. I chose to bake so I can bring blessings into work and some for me to bless others also. That is right I baked 2 items tonight. First on the list was York Sensational Brownies. I had York peppermint patties I bought to bake with. I found this recipe I cut out that came from a coupon flyer they used to put in the Sunday edition of the newspaper ad section. By looking at the coupon expiration dates, that was somewhere around January 1993. I cut out the recipe back then but never made them until today, 29 years later, imagine that. I tweaked it a bit though. I did not have 24 pieces of the candy because I took some of them into work for the snack drawer I created for my co-workers. I had to go to Kroger's to get a few items and as I sat in my car before going into the store, I asked Holy Spirit to set up connections for me in the store. He was faithful once again. I trust you are not surprised by that.

So, instead of making the recipe for the brownie portion since I had half the amount of candy needed, I improvised. I purchased Ghirardelli brownie mix. This was my plan, prepare the mix and pour half of the batter in the pan then press into the batter snack sized York peppermint patties and then top it off with the rest of the batter. I think they turned out ok. I ran into a man that was on the phone getting particular ingredients the person was telling him to get while at the store. I am about to get in line, and I noticed him in a line, so I got behind him. I then asked him if he got all the ingredients on the list he needed. That was just the opening to our brief conversation while in the checkout line. Come to find out he was getting things to prepare for a visit with his parents coming to visit them. I heard him when he was on the phone, and he needed to get certain items at the store. He checks out then I check out and low and behold, he is parked 2 cars away from my car. I struck up a conversation again with this younger in aged man. I said he must really like his parents since he was out getting things, they liked I think I said something like you must have had amazing parents that he showed much care in shopping with them in mind. He responded that he had amazing parents. I told him to enjoy the visit. On the way into the store was a couple with their young toddler in the shopping cart. The dad told the little one to wave Hi to me and he did. When you love Jesus, you spread Jesus wherever you go.

I bought a few weeks ago a Nestle Toll House mix named "Kitchen Sink Morsels & More". I bought it because I liked the easy recipe on the back of the package. Think of the mix combination of semi-sweet morsels, butter caramel pieces & pretzel sticks. The recipe I baked was Kitchen Sink Blondies. Easy recipe and I am glad I did not sit down and just rest this afternoon. You know for some odd reason there is an anointing on things I bake and bless others with. Before I baked, I finished decorating the picture windows with holiday stick on's and I also turned on my outside lights. I love the shade of green the flood light is.

All is well and God is good all the time. Even when the enemy tries to throw you off guard because there are always much stronger angels of God to lift you up higher for the higher purpose in your very life. So, when the enemy tries to come at you remember to lift up Jesus even higher and go out and minister to others with the love of God. Light always penetrates the darkness, it truly does. Rest in peace this very night and remind yourself that Jesus is Lord over all things. Have to go now to plate up my desserts to have them ready for tomorrow. I wonder if there is a lovely Christmas movie, I can watch this evening while relaxing, since my work is done for today.

May I Share A Testimony Of Me Praying For A Customer @ Kroger's The Other Day?

You know how I love sharing my testimony with you to encourage you. I do it to cheer you on and show you that it is not as hard as you may think it is. My forte at times is praying prayers for total strangers. I don't know them or anything about them, but Holy Spirit does, and I trust Him when He says speak and share, I do. It is that simple. Follow Holy Spirit leadings because He is always faithful, He truly is.

I was at a local Kroger the other day and I was in there not for weekly shopping or anything like that. I was there to return an item with the receipt I had and then just get a few things. I noticed going throughout the store I kept running into a particular woman dressed in a medical type of uniform. It seemed like everywhere I went she and I would be in the same place a lot. Like I am going down 1 aisle and there she comes up the other end of the aisle. So, I am at the self-serve check out after going to the customer service desk. And there they are, right next to me at checkout. I followed Holy Spirit lead and said excuse me, we kept running into each other in the store do you need prayer for anything. She responded that people can always use prayer. I then asked if it was ok to pray for her and she said yes. Right there at the self-checkout registers I stopped, listened and Holy Spirit fed me the very words for this very person in Murfreesboro, TN. I then went about the rest of the evening. This is so much a part of who I am. He leads, I follow until the next time He calls upon me.

I was at the TJ Maxx yesterday late afternoon in Franklin and as I am walking from my car to the store a lady says Merry Christmas to me as she was walking to her car from the store. I did not quite catch it at first and asked her to repeat it. She did and my natural flow that I responded to her was And A Blessed New Year. We both agreed. There is no labor or toiling when the Holy Spirit is in the exchanges, He brings you on. Trust me in this I would not share things to cause you to be a failure at evangelism. Listen, trust, act according to what Holy Spirit shows you and He is ever faithful.

I finished all of my painting projects so today I worked on refreshing furniture. As long as I can remember my mom always used some lemon ammonia water diluted with warm/hot water to wipe up the fabric material pieces of furniture and rugs too. You get a sponge and wring it out very good every time you place it in the cleaning solution. You do not want to saturate the piece of furniture but wipe the surfaces lightly. It brightens up the furniture and seems to put life back in the furniture. I also wiped up a few area rugs too today. I was with friends the other day and one of them update furniture pillows. She noticed before that her pillows she was replacing were the same pattern of the pillows on my couch. She sent me a picture of her pattern and we compared the 2. Her pillows were larger in size, and the pattern the same but less of a busy pattern. She offered to me if I would like them. I said yes. She is such a kind friend that she offered to fill them with pillow stuffer stuff for me. There were 5 pillows, and she had enough filler to fill 4.5 of them. She gave me the idea to fill the rest in the one pillow. I had two decorative pillows I no longer needed so I cut 1 open and filled in the section needed in the pillow. 

Good thing I showed the one pillow to a neighbor because I was about to open up the pillow to fill it up and then hand sew it back. She noticed the pillows had a zipper on it. It was so easy working on this project. Unzip the pillow, fill it up, then zip it back up.

I decorated my patio the other day and I wanted to place a flood light on the wreath I put on the outside of the center portion of the patio. I knew I had one of those outdoor extension cords somewhere. I did not want to purchase one since inside me I knew I had one somewhere. Sure enough I went through the totes in storage and there were the flood lights, an outdoor extension cord and another extension cord. The trick to this one is to turn the patio railing lights on and the flood light and then turn them off too. I enjoy decorating. I will show you the 3-tree grouping I put up. If you can see the tree skirt know I made it, ruffle and all years ago when I took on that project 1 year.

I made custom designed reversible tree skirts for so many in the family. A friend of mine at work taught me how to make & sew them. I coordinated the material on both sides of the tree skirt and took into consideration the persons personality and their interior home decor. I will probably not make them again because it was easy until you got to the part of making the ruffle portion. Hey, I did it. I now have in my possession two of these tree skirts. One I made for our family and the one I made for my dad. I have 2 children maybe this is the year to give my dad's to my son and our family one to my daughter.

I truly love my Holy Spirit adventures/encounters. Do you? What shall I do next, possibly bake something or rest.

I have a teal themed tree, brighter green themed tree and the flocked center tree with bows I made years ago to place at the top portion of the tree. My mother always taught us that simplicity is the height of elegance. If we ever overdid something decorating wise, she would tell us it is too gingerbread looking. Meaning maybe a bit too much and less was better so as to not take away from the beauty of the decorating.

I only put 1 ornament on each tree this year. I just gotta find a place on one of those trees to put my Liddle Kiddle's Kabin.

Here are the 2 pillow patterns. Do you think it was a gift from heaven via my friend?

If You Are Working On Any Creative Project, Do This It Helps Immensely. It Involves Listening To A Piece Of Music.

I have experience this twice now while working on a creative project. Go out and purchase "Christmas Wonderland Deluxe Edition" by James W. Goll. I was up early today 12/7/2022 before the sunrise (well it was raining here). I put on the song "Miracle Hymn" from the CD and kept it playing in "repeat" mode and it is still playing now as it is after 10:00PM. I not only painted a bedroom nightstand but also did as the creativity was flowing, cooking too. Yes, I did. I love the color of paint I selected it is called Dutch White. It is a very faint, subtle lavender. I went out and purchased the same color I painted my vanity table with but that was in satin texture. I wanted a little more gloss to it, so I bought semi-gloss. Well, I thought it was too shiny, so I got creative and mixed some of each paint and it tuned out nice.

While I flow in creativity, I have to capture the moment and just go on to the next project. That was preparing a few meals to freeze. Some in the family like Sarma (stuffed cabbage) but others like the meat portion but not the cabbage/sauerkraut. So, I made 13 stuffed cabbage and then 4 stuffed peppers with red peppers not green peppers. They just taste so much better than the green pepper flavor. I had to keep on going. I made a small meatloaf, and I cooked that in my air fryer. It turned out really good, I have to remember that for the future when making a small sized meatloaf. I will be meeting friends, so I set some stuffed cabbage aside for them to try. Oh, I also had in the freezer some of the Croatian sausage store back in Ohio's homemade smoked kielbasa. I had the Sarma baking for 2 hours then the last hour I added pieces I cut up of the sausage and baked it with the Sarma. It adds a great flavor to it.

All dishes are done from all the cooking. You have to use a large roaster to make the Sarma. I then cooked the stuffed peppers on the stovetop. They turn out really good, I think better then when I used to bake them in the oven.

There is something very special about this song, vocals and the background choir. It is as if it cleanses the atmosphere and permeates miracles in the atmosphere. I did much today so I am going to keep this blog entry a little short so I can relax now. Oh, I did the same routine when I painted my living room end tables the other day. I painted a chair the other day without this song playing and it was more of a challenge then the times when I play this song from this particular CD.

Go purchase the CD and experience the creativity flowing when selecting that song. There is also a music video of this song. Let me see if I can find it and then you can view it. Almost forgot another piece of this puzzle. I was listening to CBN Music Radio the other day and I selected the Christmas music category. It gives you the option to suggest a song to be played. You guessed right, I submitted this very song so others could find hope and expectation of miracles while listening to this song.

I Was Listening To CBN Music Radio & Discovered These 2 Christmas Songs They Played In Their Set List.

When listening to CBN radio music, I usually select the category of praise/worship to listen to. For some reason I selected the Christmas category the other day. They have a great variety mix of Christmas music. Tucked away in their mix were 2 songs that intrigued me enough to look them up. What do you think of them?

Ingrid Michaelson - "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" (Official Audio)

Harry Connick Jr. - When My Heart Finds Christmas (Official Video)

My Miniature Little Kiddle's Kabin Arrived In The Mail. Had An Early Morning Brief Dream 12/5/2022. Holy Spirit Speaks Through Dreams. The? Do You Pay Attention & Respond To His Call To Action?

That is a question I present to you today. Do you respond to the gentle nudge of Holy Spirit. It may take an in-face dream to get you to move in action. That is what it took for me today. I knew inside of me I should have sent an email over the weekend sometime. Maybe even on this past Friday. If you wait and wait and wait some more for the most perfect time to jump into action, you just may miss the moment. Well, if the moment is important to God, He will find a way to nudge you into action. He did that very thing for me today.

Literally a person's face was practically in my face space in the dream. So close in distance I was able to see a new pair of glasses they were wearing with great detail. They were a rectangle/oblong sort of shape. They were in sections clear translucent plastic amidst sprinkling sections of tortoise shell design/pattern/color. I told you I pay attention to details and in the dream, I thought this new look for the person was nice. Different than what you are used to seeing but a really nice, fresh look for them. That was just the intro portion of the dream. The person spoke with an excitement in their voice as they shared about something. They spoke as if they wanted me to see something they thought I didn't see yet. I had to state back in response in the dream that I was there when it happened, and I saw what they were speaking about.

I knew that the email was overdue, so I wrote it and sent it off early today. Apparently, this was important to God that Holy Spirit gave me the dream to not delay sending the email any longer. It is true when you hear someone say that if you don't catch on to an inkling inside of you then in the midst of sleep time Holy Spirit can give you the dream. Not distracted in dream time rest like the distractions of day-to-day happenings in life. I have some of that going on right now. Did you ever hear of such nonsense as this. There are new owners of the property where I reside, and this took over this place way back in August. I am hearing crazy stories from good tenants that are or have already moved out of this property with rental increases of 400.00 or more a month when you renew your lease. I know this place is nice but not that worthy of a hefty increase in rent with no new amenities to offer the paying guests. When you inquire about these amenities, they tell you they can't let you know for a couple of months and that everyone will find out together. I am calling their bluff because one of the incentives of renewing your lease has been taken away from the new owners. You used to be able to choose if you wanted your apartment cleaned by the cleaning company or your carpets cleaned. Well guess what? There apparently is a time frame I found out about today of only 30 days from your renewal for it to happen and you are not grandfathered in under your old lease agreement.

This is the real kicker in this story. We are billed our individual water consumption bills which also include trash & pest control from a 3rd party biller. The last bill we received was dated 9/1/2022. When you inquire as to when you will be getting your water bill which is now 3 billing cycles outstanding, they really don't have an answer for you. I contacted the water utility to see if I could pay them to be current and you cannot. Apparently, the owners pay up front so as to not collect individual amounts owed from residents. Basically, you can't even get any info when you call and inquire because you are not the owner the account is in. Reached out to the 3rd party biller and they cannot even tell you what your running total is because they only generate bills from the information given to them by the owners. I reached out to the corporate owners located in another state and they would assure me several times the bills would be released then. Then goes by and still no bills generated. Another time I was told it is not like buying a house and transferring things. It takes much longer even though the official sale of property was back in August. The leasing office sent out a monthly newsletter and made no mention of the water bill situation. When I spoke with corporate, they told me they have no control over what the property manager places in the newsletter. I inquired about that very thing tonight and was told by the leasing office that they can only place in the newsletter what corporate tells them to write. I think someone is not telling the truth here what do you think? I also caught the assistant property manager in a lie today too. I inquired a bit ago about upcoming rental increases and was specifically told that they occurred @ a 15% increase under the former owners. I then said but there are new owners now. They responded that the new owners kept what was in place when they took over. So, when I reminded this person of what they said to me they denied ever saying it and said they never said it. Something like it was my word against theirs. I do not like being lied to. 

I came up with a plan so as to not have a crazy 4 or maybe even 5-month worth of water bills I made a payment in faith and now I have a credit on my account to sort of offset the total bill amount when it is released to the residents. I asked what about them withholding the water bills from the residents is that the breaking their portion of the lease with us. I was told it is not. I further inquired if they would be evicting residents that could or would not pay the water bills once they are released and they said no. Apparently the way it was explained if they don't pay the bills there will be an amount owed on their account and when they move out if it is not paid it goes to the attorney at that point for collection. I inquired what are they doing about people letting other people move into their apartments are they going to do anything about that. The response is they don't have time to look into this and I believe they referred to it as it is illegal to stalk tenants to see who is staying in their apartments. Apparently, you can have someone stay over 48 hours and it is fine. I think just maybe my time may be coming to a close living at this once nice residence that is slowly going downhill. Such a shame, such a shame.

I know you may not like what I said next but just had to go there especially once I was bold face lied to. I inquired if the rental increase is due to me being a single woman that is heterosexual. I didn't even get to finish the part about my age, religion or color too. I was cut off and they placed their hands over their ears and told me this conversation was over and if I wanted to pursue that I had to have that conversation with the manager who was actually sitting at the other desk. If I am going to pay what the rent increase of what possibly it is going to be I mise well move to a place where I do not have to listen to people fighting; 80 lb. dog running around; loud parties by the pool and grilling area; bitten by spiders BUT in this place, there is peace in my apartment, and I have had powerful prophetic dreams and God encounter experiences here also.

Can you see why I may be a little distracted at times.
