Sharing The Eulogy/Salvation Message @ My Mother's Celebration Of Life Mass Did Come With A Slight Cost To Me. May I Share ...

Things were coming along just fine over a week ago. Great car ride back home. Attended my home church in Lorain on Sunday and was able to see familiar faces at church. Visited with my former mother-in-law with my children and some of her family that day. That evening we had Buc-ee's BBQ beef brisket (which my son stopped to get on the way to TN for us (it was a special request of my sister-in-law) and we enjoyed each other's company. The next day I got ready for the day and came downstairs. My sister-in-law wanted to show me something in her bedroom and as I was walking into the bedroom, I had on a pair of walking shoes in which the tread on the bottom was warn a bit. I tripped somehow and went down. I was trying to brace myself so as to not hit the wood on the bed with my head as I was falling. I thought I just fell on my one knee but not so. It was my right side and the moment I fell and got up I knew I was out of alignment and needed to see a chiropractor for this. I think I twisted somehow in the fall and thank God one of my family members is a chiropractor. This was just the beginning of the week, and I was already thinking to myself how I am going to be able to walk to the lectern to share the eulogy on Friday of the same week.

I also planned on visiting an aunt of mine that week also. My daughter came out one day to take me to see my aunt and then to the chiropractor the same day for my 2nd visit. I ended up going to the chiropractor 2 times that week. He did let me know that an adjustment would be in order especially after driving 9 hours in a car because that can put strain on your body. Each day I would get around but there was a bit of soreness when I walked on the right side, but I kept getting around to get all our errands done leading up to Friday & Saturday. My sister-in-law was most kind and did all the driving around and she would drop me off when we were somewhere and park the car to join me at our destination. I remembered to use ice packs and I did that when resting at her house. I then realized after the first 24 hours I should have been alternating cold and heat to the bruised area and then switched over to that later in the week.

Heading back home I shared some of the driving with my son off and on again so he could rest when I drove. I was fine driving. I knew one thing though, go see my local chiropractor on Monday since the long drive and me taking a tumble from tripping earlier in the prior week. I did and was amazed when he showed me standing up how my right side was positioned before he adjusted me. I had no idea. I am all unpacked and laundry was done and put away basically between Sunday evening and Monday. I got lots of errands done on Monday since I drove back to town where I used to reside and just kept going all day long until I arrived back home around 5PM. I had an ice pack and just kept applying it to my lower back while driving. I brought home with me desserts from our celebration along with walnut/raisin potica and poppyseed potica. I made up 3 dessert plates to distribute on Monday. One to the office of my chiropractor; 1 to the kind lady that helps me when I have to mail things at the local substation post office and then 1 for my former neighbors that I dropped off to them. It was a busy day.

I reflected on this and wondered why the fall in the midst of the week being at home? I prayed the right prayers, did the deliverance prayers also. Blessed family. What went wrong in this picture? Holy Spirit spoke to me and gently reminded me of Job and how satan wanted to go after him and limits were placed upon satan. I was bringing the gospel message of salvation to people not just in the Catholic mass but around the world to those that viewed the church service "livestream." Sometimes we can prevent something from happening and I do recall that morning looking at a pair of slippers I have (Muk Luks) in which there was tread on the bottoms, but I thought to myself wear the walking shoes instead since I was ready to go do things that day and not have to go and get the shoes before we left. It was partial my not following the small inkling inside of me to wear the Muk Luks not the pink walking shoes. Well, I survived and needless to say I threw those walking shoes in the garbage and never wore them again.

I received so many compliments of how beautiful the words shared in the eulogy were just right. My sister was watching Father's expression on his face as I shared, and she said he looked a little nervous or anxious at times. Hey, I offered to share the eulogy with him in advance to follow church protocol, but he told me no need, so I followed his instruction. Catholic's shared with me how they thought it was beautiful and someone actually asked me if I had Holy Spirit in me which opened up an opportunity to share a bit of my testimony with them. Since my sister saw the expression on Father's face that day, she inquired of our Catholic cousins to see if what I shared was out of line in the Catholic church. They both responded it did not go against Catholic beliefs and it was fine. So, lesson in all of this is to trust Holy Spirt because He composed the eulogy with me and who in their right mind was going to go against Holy Spirit inspired words to share with hurting people. Words of encouragement and hope, heaven is the ultimate goal in life through Jesus to be with Him for all eternity in heaven. Also, follow gentle Holy Spirit nudges He gives you in life on a daily basis to save you from missteps or hiccups in your daily walk.

Do You Believe In Divine Destiny? I Do

I want to share something I found this evening while going through family pictures.There was an envelope of newspaper articles published when my brother died in 1976. For some reason for years now I have had this churning inside of me to write a book about my brother's death when his body was never recovered in the ocean after the ship wreck in 1976. I always thought he wasn't wearing a life jacket but in the coast guard report he was. The coast guard report is catching my attention since I recently read it. I stumbled upon a few of my brothers things related to his death like several newspaper articles. I found this rather fascinating in one of them they proposed a question as to why it was ever in print BEFORE his next of kin were ever notified of his demise, meaning his body was never recovered.

When my brother left on that trip he stored his bedroom set at our grandmother's since he was planning to be gone a year and then return back home. I found a note he wrote to her on a piece of newspaper. Nothing outstanding per say but it was the date above that captured my attention. March 24, 1976. Exactly 47 years to the date we celebrated our mother's Celebration of Life. Divine confirmation that the day we selected was all in the scope of God's hand upon our mother even in our planning the day we selected. A hidden golden nugget to be found and then in the finding seeing the date. Only God only God is all I can say. I even found the pictures of my sister and I when we were in the Croatian debutante ball the same year. Literally maybe 2 months prior to our brothers death. Since 2 of us were being presented by our father we had to have another be able to dance with us at one point in the presentation. It was my brother Ricky that danced with me. Never pass up golden nuggets Holy Spirit strategically placed for you to find. Why does this subject fascinate me so much.

Pictures From Yesterday 3/24/2023

Part 1 Of Our Mother's Celebration Of Life Was Yesterday, March 24, 2023 It Was Beautiful. Praise God.

How can I cry heavy tears

when I know my mother is in heaven? I did get a tear or two while they played the song, "On Eagle's Wings." The mass was beautiful and even family back in Croatia were able to livestream the mass. I also heard from friends that are old and new in friendship telling me that the mass was beautiful when they participated in the livestream of the mass. They also told me the eulogy I presented was beautiful also.

See, Holy Spirit & I composed the eulogy main portion on 1/21/2023 between 5:09am-5:23am. After sharing it with my sibling, son and sister-in-law on the way back to Ohio we added a few more finishing touches to complete it. Please know these added touches were also Holy Spirit breathed upon. See, He does and continues to work through others also if you see the golden nuggets presented to you.

I will share bits and pieces with you today, 3/25/2023. Two of my children read on the altar. One read a scripture reading, 2 Timothy 4:6-8 and the other read Universal Prayer with response "Lord, hear our prayer." Along with 

other family members participating in this touching mass for our mother and the grandchildren's Nana.

My eyes were drawn to the ceiling area near the altar as Father was participating in the mass around 9:45am. When this happens to me and my eyes are drawn upward that means I am sensing angels are there. God is faithful and angels were there. Behind the altar is a stained glass window and the first section of wooden type ceiling is where I heard the words I wrote down in one of the booklets. " I looked up behind the altar above the stained glass window on the altar angels were there & heard Holy Spirit say she is looking over the balcony in heaven with a huge smile on her face as Father prayed @ the altar praying @ the altar before communion." I knew right then and there Holy Spirit had in place the moments following communion the eulogy to be shared was holy and pleasing unto God.

Well, you all know I am not currently a practicing Catholic so just maybe I was a little rusty on timing when I had to go to the lectern for the eulogy. Once on the altar I noticed they were still finishing up altar post communion to prepare for the closing moments of the mass. I looked over and then Father nodded @ me to go ahead. Hey, I am not a preacher behind a pulpit all the time but you gotta give me some credit here that I was not operating like a runaway train. I knew protocol enough to not just advance not within the order of the mass right.

The 2 "live" Croatian songs played @ the mass were beautiful. The same combo played at the luncheon that followed the mass. There were several of us in the family that performed in the tamburitza group with the members of the combo when we were in grade and high school and we all had a group picture taken of us all together. In the event there would be a tamburitza reunion one day we all jotted down our contact info.

At the close of our mother's luncheon our friends called my sister and I up to where they were playing to share a special song they selected just for us. I have a copy of it sharing the words both in English & Croatian. They are beautiful words that will touch your heart also.

I think that about covers everything except 1 more thing that took place that day. When we were in high school we had to purchase books so us cousins that attended the same all girls Catholic high school would share our books. While cleaning out an English book she found my notes I took for a class on Hamlet the play. It also had 1 of my graded tests. Thank God I received an A on that test. I was joking with my cousins how bad it would have looked if we shared that and there would have been a bad grade. I think the teacher of the class while grading the test circled a word I spelled wrong. It should have been supposedly and I wrote it as suppossedly. Do you see where I get my passion for spelling correctly when I write. No problem though because I picked up a bonus point by finding in the test itself the misspelled word. The misspelled word was "sololiquy". Treasure moments you have with loved ones and always treasure those valuable memories tucked away in your heart ok.

Smooth Travel Back Home. Guess What Greeted Us Close To Our Destination? Lake Effect Snow & Winds.

My son and I drove to our destiny because we were bringing items for our Mom/Nana celebration of life service that it would have been hard to travel with via flying. His BMW suv was a comfortable ride for us too. I like the comfortable ride of this much better then when he had just a BMW sedan. The ride was smooth sailing and then the lake effect snow started to kick in the closer we got to our final destiny which was on the Eastside of Cleveland, better known as the snowbelt. Started to experience white out snow conditions off and on. See, I grew up here and it didn't surprise me in the least bit because I always remembered there would tend to be once last snowstorm usually around St. Patrick's Day. At that point in time in the season it was never that big of a deal because we always knew it would melt fast because Spring was right around the corner.

The plan was for my daughter to drive from the Westside of Cleveland to pick me up early Sunday morning and bring me back to the Westside so I could attend church @ the church I attended when I lived in Ohio, Church on the Northcoast. Well a light dusting of snow as I went to bed Saturday night turned out to be maybe 3 to 4 inches of snow as I woke up and wind howling throughout the night. She drove from no snow into snow roads/highway to pick me up to take me to church. That is love it truly is.

She dropped me off @ church and was going to spend time with family while I was @ church then pick me up. We were going to then join my son and all of us were going to visit with their grandmother and my former mother-in-law who I still love and remained friends with throughout the years. We did and I even brought her a piece of my mother's craft class creation for her to have.

So good going to church with sweet familiar faces to greet you and they remembered you too. There is just something about going home to church to visit where they taught you the word of God in the Bible. Yes, about heaven and hell, no sugar coated words but scripture truth. Where I had freedom to worship, sing in the choir and most importantly where I learned to evangelize via the class, Evangelism Explosion along with being trained in deliverance ministry too.

I took a few pictures and I asked and still had freedom to worship with my little percussion shaker instruments and I could still find a seat in the front row to sit in. I found a seat in the front row to the left in the center section and went to the altar for praise and worship.

Pastor Troy preached on JOY and I took notes. I am coming back home for a celebration of life for my mom and yes I have the joy of the Lord which is my strength. I couldn't help being reminded of the time I attended CNC when my father went to be with the Lord and I fought for the right to be able to get one of his license plates that simply stated JOY. I wanted them because I had the joy of the Lord. It was odd though because when people I went to church with saw my license plate they would refer to me as joy even though I thought they knew my name was Kimberly? That baffled me a little. As it was time to renew the license plate Holy Spirit asked me a simple yet poignant question Who gives you the joy Me or the license plate? I got the message and realized I did not need a license plate to advertise joy and it was time to let go of that object in my life and gave up the plates and went back to regular license plates when it was time to renew them.

Holy Spirit will give you a season in your life for things of this nature then when that season is up He will present to you a choice but ultimately the choice is for you to make if you will or will not follow His lead. I am so glad I followed His lead in that. The joy of the Lord truly is my strength and it does not come from a license plate stating it. Who will you choose to follow this day? Holy Spirit or your own agenda, the choice really is your own and choose wisely ok.

I Will Have My 1st Overnight House Guest In My New Place.

Things are all put away, organized the garage and preparing for my mother's Celebration of Life which is coming upon us soon. I know you may think this is a bit silly but to me it makes perfect sense. In my garage I store several wreaths I use throughout the year. I figured this out years ago to make it easy for me to go to the wreath I want by hanging them on the walls in the garage. I hang them according to season/holiday and then I just retrieve what I need when I need it. It is very simple and makes the garage look festive too with these creative wreaths on the walls and not taking up space in a closet somewhere.

I have all my baking done that I planned on making for the luncheon and stored to travel with. I made everything but the kitchen sink (not sure if I have the title correct but you get the point right) blondies. Peanut butter cup blossoms, chocolate mint cookies and my famous butterball cookies (half regular and the other half I have tucked inside a piece of dark chocolate) I found the best non greasy mini muffin cups for baking with @ JoAnne's the other day. I selected 2 complimentary colors that spoke of springtime and used them to bake a recipe of cookies. I bought enough in mini and regular size of the same colors so my sister-in-law may want to bake with them or use them when plating up dessert trays. I spoke with the priest the other day in regard to the details of the mass. I have to see if my sister agrees with me on this, but I think it would be lovely to livestream the mass. My mom was able to see the mass of a dear friend of hers via this avenue since she lived in another geographic state than where the funeral mass was taking place.

It will be good to see family and friends. My son requested me to make my homemade spaghetti meat sauce because he would like that for dinner when he comes to get me to go to Ohio and I went and purchased the ingredients to make it. I still have some homemade spaghetti pasta in the freezer I will make to go with the sauce. I will also make a few ricotta meat balls for the sauce. Imagine that, the one who loves when I make corned beef Reuban sandwiches around St. Patrick's Day chose my sauce over that meal! A nice salad will round out the meal too. I made the sauce and meatballs, and I will freeze them now so they will be fresh as a daisy (as the saying goes) when I serve the meal.

I have dear friends that are planning to come to the region this Summer and hopefully will stay with me for a little. A friend coming to TN for a woman's conference in May and we will stay at an Airbnb during the conference, but she will spend the last night in my home. I also recently invited a college friend to come for a visit the next time one of her children comes to Nashville. I think this home is a place for refreshing for family and dear friends what do you think? My heart is filled with joy at the prospect of seeing family and friends I have not seen for some years now. I cannot be a gloomy type of person at my mother's Celebration of Life events because I know she is in heaven, and I just love to share the joy of the Lord and peace and encouragement to those around me. Father shared with me that the latest thing people tend to do @ church with the urn of the beloved's ashes is have a fresh floral ring made to go around the base of the urn. I like that idea. Place them at church, then take them to the cemetery to place around the urn for the funeral rite @ the cemetery. Yes, I do find myself at times having tears well up in my eyes when I come across something of my mother's or I think of something about her, but I then quickly tell her she is in a much better place now in heaven then all of this going on in our world now. She really is.

I have to go and run a few errands today. Did I tell you that Jesus loves you, He really does so go and take Him with you wherever you go today. Spread the joy of Jesus with others today. You can be the sunshine in their life if it is a rainy type of day ok.

I received this card in the mail from a dear friend. Isn't the sentiment so very true and lovely at the same time. They enclosed a gift of money for us to remember our mother any way we please to. Also, enclosed in the card was a notecard my mother sent to her years ago. It must have been pretty special to my friend to keep it for years now. She thought that I just may enjoy it since it was from my mom sent to her many years ago. This is the part I liked in the note that she wrote to my friend "Kim is so blessed to have you for a forever friend." isn't that lovely.

See, this can be used as a dual word of encouragement. The life my mother lived and the life those that carry on and still remain here as a word for you too.

While Some Seem To Be Pre-Occupied With Revival Here, There & Everywhere, Why Am I Getting A Warning Word Spoken Ever So Clear To Me This Morning @ 5:05AM?

I do not understand this and try not to even figure it out but continue to trust God and Holy Spirit speaking to me. Please do not be caught off guard when trouble hits because of being pre-occupied elsewhere. I am so not against revival and moves of Holy Spirit. I was there and experienced the moves of God when Jennifer & Munday Martin had their white tent revival in Smyrna, TN. I even went to celebrate with them the 1-year anniversary of that very tent revival. I do not see any on the schedule this year to commemorate that anniversary. Was that just a fly by night move of God or did it fizzle out somewhere or morph into something else? It is fine to attend the outpourings it really is. I had an invite to go to The Send that recently took place in Nashville, but I was in town that day closing up my former apartment and going to an appointment and attending to other commitments. I live in a somewhat rural area now and I am not that experienced yet to take the shortcut roads, which are winding and dimly lit in the country dark. I was most thankful that I arrived back home just as dusk was about to turn to nighttime. These roads are scenic during the day but if I had to, I would drive them in the night. 

I fell asleep watching PTL with Pastor Rod Parsley sharing on The Bakker Family show. Maybe that is why I woke to hearing words of warning early this morning. I did a word and scripture study after writing them down and even found some meaning of a word spoken to me in Dr. Barbie Breathitt's dream interpretation book. For now, I must keep the words tucked away in my heart until Holy Spirit releases me to share them. Sometimes when this happens, He somehow builds upon the interpretation in the days that follow the study started.

I felt Holy Spirit unction to search out today Ryan LeStrange and see what he has been sharing on. I think this is an important video you should view. I originally listened to the longer version, but I am sharing the shorter version here today. Be careful who you are allowing into your life, it really does matter.

Dating Delilah: EXPOSING Purpose KILLERS

Something Is Not Settling Right With Me After Viewing A Recent Plea Video To Pray & Fast For "The Prophets"

Maybe I am going against the grain in this one but why do well known prophets feel they have the right to put a plea out there to pray for them are they an exclusive group amongst themselves and who they choose to list under their category. When viewing this recent video something inside me wanted to scream how arrogant that you all feel so darn important and the rest of us not under your exclusive category don't need prayer or fasting. You know, there are prophets & spiritual leaders out there that are following the will of God in their lives and hear and see and sense the presence of God but may not be on some sort of grand platform and they don't count, really!

It was not an inclusive list shared, but it made absolutely no sense that they are pleading their case for prayer and fasting for prophets and spiritual leaders that died younger then should have died. I get the point a little better if more recent names were shared and not including people that died years ago. What in the heck is that all about. How would prayers and fasting now in 2023 help them that went to be with the Lord years prior. Bring this into the now realm and quit harping on the past. The past is done and dealt with and look to the future and do not stay stuck in the past ok.

It to me gave an appearance of arrogance in one sense this recent video. Like they are important because of their stature in the church/ministry world. So, why a plea now to the nations when I would think each minister has a group of dedicated intercessors praying for them a lot? Maybe they should exam just who is on their intercessor teams and possibly weed out those who are not being effective. You know, praying prayers of their own with a possible ulterior motive on their part and not with a pure heart towards the minister they are interceding for. Just because someone gives the appearance of being holy and prayerful does not always mean they are when you take a closer look at them. Where is your discernment quite honestly or why is it not picking up on this sort of thing amongst your very own people? Even the very elect in the days in which we live in will be deceived. Please I ask you to do a ministry check within each of your very own ministries. You know, people giving the appearance of being a team player just may be playing your kind heart and sympathetic nature to weasel their own way in to sway you to fulfill their very own agenda under the guise of being a holy, prayerful person. Reaching out to the world just opened up a door further for the enemy to infiltrate your request. Are you naive enough to think that only Christians view your ministry videos? Take an accounting of the times you may have placed a plea out there for prayer for a certain situation only to find it did not turn out like it was intended to and went the opposite direction. Use wisdom, honestly, use wisdom ok.

With viewing the recent video asking for prayer of the elite segment I can honestly see why God will not allow familiar faces and names to run His revival. He chooses the nameless and faceless, so no one gets or tries to take the credit for His moves of God. I am sorry I should even have to be writing on this subject today considering these are seasoned spiritual leaders this is addressing. Grow up and not only think of your inner circle but expand it to all that are under Holy Spirits anointing and may be hiding out in that cave so to speak under His shelter so as to still do His bidding without taint. Just saying. Do not think of yourself so highly because it just may be a door open for pride to creep in and then comes the tumble. Walk carefully and do not think you are above God's correction. Even the best of the best seems to fall on occasion. I was a few years ago at a church and this well-known spiritual leader for some reason began to confess his problem with pornography before us. I did not go to that church that night to hear his confessions I really did not as a woman want to hear that confession and maybe wisdom would have been better used if he chose to confess to the elders that night and not innocent people in attendance. To this day this man is still celebrated and elevated.

Why does the elect in the church world pick and choose who they think have been restored and not others to be? That appears to be double minded, this one was restored but close their minds to another one being restored. God is watching all of this, He really is.

This morning Holy Spirit took me into Job 32, and this is what I underlined and then wrote in the margin of my bible on7/12/2014. This is Elihu's discourse to Job. "I thought Age should speak, and experience should teach wisdom. However, there is in humans a Spirit, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. People do not become wise merely because they live long. They don't understand what justice is merely because they're old." I then went on to see Job 32:13 "Let God, not humans, defeat him. Then the final section underlined was Job 32: 17-20 " I'll tell you what I know. I'm full of words. The Spirit within me forces me to speak, my belly is like a bottle of wine that has not been opened, like new wineskins that are ready to burst. I must speak to get relief."

I then wrote in the margin this, "This is what happens when God puts a word inside of you to speak forth - there is no rest until the word from God is released & spoken forth."

All Moved In, Spent The Day Unpacking Wardrobe Boxes & Organizing Closets. What A Delight To Live Somewhere & Not Deal With The Noises Of Others Hallelujah!

My moving date was actually 3/2/2023. Yesterday I was up early doing some organizing before I left to return to my former apartment to clean. If you know me at all then you know I left it spotless, I really did. I cleaned for a few hours before and during the high winds and storms in the area. I even got my car washed before the rain came because I wanted it clean, and I vacuumed it also. I then had to pause to go to a hair appointment and then returned back to the apartment for 1 last vacuuming of the floors and retrieving my cleaning supplies and then drop off my keys and final paperwork @ the leasing office. I also dropped off my ATT internet equipment to be returned to them. As Iwas driving home to my new location, I wanted to beat it getting dark outside because some of the lovely during the day scenery roads are dark and winding and I didn't want to drive in the dark. I spoke with a friend of mine that I will be attending a women's conference in Nashville with, and we adjusted our plans. We booked in February an Airbnb in Franklin, and we added on another day. This location is not far from the Cool Springs Mall and both of us know the area pretty well considering we both worked there in Franklin at 1 time.

I am an organized person by nature, and I had to be like a watchdog with the movers and remind them to read the explicit labels I made with masking tape to show them where to place that storage box/container and wardrobe boxes also. All in all, they did an exceptional job except they have to come back out because they put the footboard to one of my wrought iron beds on backwards. I only discovered it today while sitting in a chair in that room talking on the phone and noticed something looked odd. The pattern was not facing the way it should and was set up backwards. I have used these movers now 3 times because they are that good. I gave them a cash tip also that day and gave them an excellent review also.

Now I have to figure out a way to break down the wardrobe boxes (I am saving them in the event of a future move so I will not have to purchase anymore, smart thinking huh) to store. I am thinking to use 1 or 2 of them still intact and break down the others and store in the empty ones in the garage. I was busy all day long today organizing, and I even ran the vacuum too. It is such a feeling of accomplishment when you see empty boxes and containers because you found a place for the items contained in them. Lovely having a closet big enough to store all of my clothes in and shoe/boot racks too. I stored my purses and craft related items (like card making, jewelry crafting, notecards, scarves and other items in the smaller closet). I found a lovely surprise this morning as I was working in 1 of the bedrooms. I had a few containers on the bed and finished storing serving items in the serving cart. I am creative and used a serving cart with a square crochet table topper on top to then place the tv on in that room. As I finished up storing items for serving in the cart, I noticed on the bed a note from my mother. I stopped and read it and began to cry a little because she encouraged me to keep writing cards with words to encourage others.

My sister is heading on a mission trip, and she shared how she found in her mission storage box (items she uses on this particular mission she goes on in a storage container) a 20.00 bill in which my mom attached a note for the next time she went on a mission trip, and she will follow through with our mother's request with the 20.00 bill. See she gave this to her the last time she was scheduled for the mission trip, but that trip got cancelled. Isn't it amazing how both of us are still feeling our mother's presence even though she is in heaven.

Pretty soon I will be travelling back to Ohio for our mother's Celebration of Life service & luncheon. The next day to the Catholic cemetery to entomb in the niche she purchased her cremains. I bought a new windchime to then place in the tree where she had planted when my brother Ricky died, and his body was never recovered. I cannot believe it will be on April 9th this year 47 years since he died. I watched a lovely video a bit ago on the JFK Jr. wedding to Carolyn Bessette and how much my brother resembled him feature wise and even hair color and style. I told that to my sister-in-law and she shared with me how both her and my mom said there was such a resemblance of the two when they would talk. They truly seemed like a couple that loved each other very much so and I was so glad to view that video I happened to stumble upon one day.

There will be 2 "live" songs played by tamburitza @ the church and then they will also play @ the luncheon. Family favorite Italian restaurant are actually the caterers at the venue we selected. Would you like to know the menu we selected?

Cavatelli with homemade meatballs; marinated chicken breast; parsley redskins; green beans and carrots almondine; Caesar salad and cucumber, tomato and onion salad. They make homemade yeast rolls too and you have to select a dessert choice even though we will have a pastry table set up with family/friends baking for us. I and my sister-in-law and my daughter and great niece will also be baking too. Our family has great bakers in it, we really do. A little bit of a challenge especially since I have been keeping away from sugar but that is ok with me. We will be able to come in the day before and set up the celebration of our mother's life memory table also and bring in fresh flowers. Favorite spot to buy them is Trader Joes and that is what we will be doing. When our mother entertained, she knew how to and passed that onto us. I was also an event planner so paying attention to even small details is what I tend to do pretty good. I am not bragging I am just sharing a strong point in my life, attention to details why do you think I get very detailed prophetic dreams when I dream, because I pay attention to details.

Speaking of a prophetic dream I had one on one of the last few nights at my former residence this is what the dream was. After seeking Holy Spirit for divine revelation, He shared with me one day when I least expected it that the dream took place in a prayer closet. Imagine that! I was on my knees on the floor and concerned that a prophet was going to trip and fall, and I noticed their one shoelace on their right shoe was untied as they were facing in my direction for me to observe this detail. I said I was there clearing the way of the floor so there was nothing obstructing their way and to clear the area so as to not trip and fall. For some reason this prophet shared with me that they announce who they are when they speak so people know who they are just before they were about to speak, and their back was to me as they were about to exit to speak. I was on my knees on the floor cleaning the space, and they were standing. It made sense when Holy Spirit dropped the explanation in my spirit that the smallness of space was a literal prayer closet.

Even in the midst of the busyness of getting ready for my move Holy Spirit gives me a prophetic dream. He is very much so a huge part of my life adventures and quite honestly, I would not settle to marry another if they wouldn't allow my Holy Spirit adventures to continue. My desire is for both of us to go on daily Holy Spirit adventures and share our prophetic dreams with each other. Why would I ever settle for anything less than that.

Please know if you ever received one of my handwritten or even typed notes with words of encouragement, they are Holy Spirit inspired words, and I will continue to send them as Holy Spirit leads me to. It is so lovely having peace and quiet and on occasion you can hear the train passing by in the distance.

Do you think my brother Ricky had a slight resemblance like JFK Jr?
