You May Not Like What I Have To Say, But Here We Go. This Is To Joni Lamb, Quit Pushing Your New Husband Doug On The Audience. Can't You Tone It Down A Bit.

I am all for people finding happiness and a new spouse. That is not the issue here at hand. In this case it is the fact that Joni Lamb keeps trying to in a not so soft manner but sort of aggressive style pushing her new husband on the viewing audience. We get it, you fell in love and got married that is your life but when it comes to the ministry your deceased husband, Marcus entrusted to you, do not desecrate his memory with trying to push your new husband, Doug, on us in "Ministry Now" programming. Something just rubs me the wrong way in this picture, it really does. I try to watch but when you snapped at one of your children once on air because they said something like "Back to you Mom" and you responded back to them that Doug was there too, that is highly insulting, and I felt the pain of that child. You know Joni that God gave you and Marcus your children as gifts, and they should have precedent over your new spouse when it comes to the ministry that you and Marcus built up with the hand of God leading it. I am just speaking out loud and if I am thinking this then surely there must be others also thinking on the same wavelength.

You even try to push him on some of your guests too. Please back off a bit and have consideration of your children because it must be very hard for them to see another man sitting in the seat on the set their father sat in. If I may suggest something from 1 woman to another. It is okay that you fell in love and got married. I am sure that God did not want you to be alone in life. Why though force him on us. I in my opinion would have kept him in the background somehow and not thrust him on the people that so loved Marcus and then it gives the appearance of you replacing Marcus. Marcus along with you did all the hard work throughout the years and Doug comes along and places himself into Marcus' seat on the set. Not only his seat but trying to replace him in interviewing also. Something is off when I tune in at times to watch this unfolding. I think it is not being done in good taste. Please place your children before this man in your life. They were there for you and stepped up to the plate when Marcus went to be with Jesus, and it was quite lovely seeing them each come to the forefront in the ministry. Very endearing with them co-hosting with you. Please replace Doug with your children at least in this format of taping.

I get it, a new husband looks at you like a teenager in love because you are still newly married. I do not think it is appropriate for all the world to view when he does it on set. Please keep your new love to yourself and do not force this on the viewing audience. Oh, you get the well-wishers of how they are so happy for you and Doug but are you not sharing comments with the viewing audience of the ones not so supportive of this ministry change? Show both sides of this please. I can only imagine how hard this must be on your children and they are probably trying to figure out where they fit into this new equation, give them time and please don't thrust Doug in the ministry upon them so swiftly. It was quite evident how they all loved their dad and still do. The other day Doug referred to one of your grandkids as their grandchild was on the set with them. Does this man have an aggressive type of personality and is he calling all the shots now? Just wondering out loud.

Is there a reason your son, Jonathan did not walk his mother down the aisle on your wedding day? It was a pretty risqué in parts the wedding dress you wore. Maybe that could have been a bit more modest considering that many eyes around the world would be on you at one point. Maybe save things of that nature as private between you and your new husband okay, not for the world to see. I just don't think we are ready for that. Dress modestly in public is all I am suggesting. Enjoy your new married life but please do not push your new love in your life on us, the viewing audience. Maybe there could have been choices to subtly introduce him to the ministry. Please let your children go back to front and center in the programming. It just gives the appearance that this man wants to be featured front and center and you are allowing this. I noticed that you and Marcus were present at the wedding when Benny Hinn married his wife again, Suzanne. Where they there to reciprocate it on your wedding day to Doug, just wondering. 

I guess all I am saying is to have some "kind" consideration for your viewing audience and enjoy your newfound love/life but not so much on the set but in your personal lives together. It is a blessing for you to find love again.

1 John 19 Is What I Heard Holy Spirit Gently Speak To Me This Morning 7/27/2023

I rose this morning & knew what Holy Spirit spoke to my heart as a task to complete early this morning. I sought Holy Spirit further to give me a scripture verse. All I heard was 1 John 19. I looked it up in my bible. So, there are more than 1-chapter that has verse 19's. So, I read them all since All I heard was 1 John 19. Chapter 2: 19 "They left us. However, they were never really part of us. If they had been, they would have stayed with us. But by leaving they made it clear that none of them were part of us." Chapter 3: 19 " This is how we will know we belong to the truth and how we will be reassured of his presence." Chapter 4:19 "We love because God loved us first." Chapter 5:19: "We know that we are from God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."

"I am now sitting beside the lake the pictures are taken and you can see I was pretty near to the water's edge. You could get a camping permit if you wanted to camp there. I love the signs that say to not feed the animals. So iconic. Even @ the close of the day it is 93 degrees outside temperature.

I met a pastor a few months ago that was going to ordain me thru his church. No strings attached; no fees charged either. I submitted all the info he required of me as ministry background info I had. I actually created a "Volunteer Resume" years ago & I have used it along with my work history resume at times when applying for a job if I felt the further info would assist them in knowing who I am. So, there were 2 times this pastor said they would call me back & stated a day & 2 times they never followed through. It was yesterday I placed a phone call & thanked him for his willingness to bless me with ordaining me. In a nice manner I explained that I cannot be seated under a minister that does not follow through.

You may be thinking how harsh is that to judge even though it is said in a nice manner. Not so, if one is going to be ordained under a ministry then it has to be something in which you have equal ways of doing things. You know, if you are a person that follows through then be connected with one that follows through so there is not unnecessary frustration in your life. I graciously explained that if & when Holy Spirit wants me to be ordained, He will do it & guide me. I am @ peace; I am @ peace."

Some of the other pictures today are my makeshift garden because the deck was power washed and waiting to be painted. I had to adjust where the plants could be temporarily placed.

Since I took this there is now a 3rd gardenia that bloomed.

Doing my share to take care of neighborhood Japanese beetles.

Here is one of the leaves from the tree that is already changing colors. It is much more vibrant in person then what the picture portrays it to be.
Going to go pick the 4gardenias now so the fragrance fills the house.

Here Is The Tree In The Backyard I Keep Cursing It @ The Roots To Dry Up Because It Is Blocking My View Of The Sky. Well, It Just May Be A Blessing To Me In Disguise Come Harvest/Fall Time.

Yep, that is right I can be a petulant child that wants her own way when she wants it. In this case it is a tree that blocks my full view of the sky and I do not like that. I have prayed and placed my hands on this tree and commanded it to try up at the roots. It did not happen needless to say. I figured out why today as I looked up at the branches to see the beautiful & vibrant shades of red/orange on a few leaves changing colors. On occasion one of these leaves falls off the tree and when it lands on the ground it is the most beautiful shade of red orange. I can now learn to appreciate this tree now blocking my sky view because when the time is right in nature for it to display a beautiful vibrant natural picture for me to enjoy happens, I will love the vibrant colors the leaves will produce on this tree. Sometimes you have to wait for the perfect divine will of God in your life to manifest in a beautiful and vibrant way. Don't be petulant and try to scare it off but embrace the journey along the way for God surely does direct the steps of His children doesn't He. 

What Man That Is Running For President Of The USA Will Not Only Say But Back Their Words With Actions In Regard To Taking Up The Cause Of Senior Citizens? They Are Getting Ripped Off Big Time In Regard To What They Pay For Housing.

Yes, I did say what man that is running for President. I think a man can go places and usurp authority much stronger than a woman in that particular position. Sorry if you do not like hearing that but a man is who I believe our founding fathers of this country thought would be best suited for the task at hand of running our great country. With that being said and out of the way, now onto the task in which Holy Spirit is placing upon my heart and has been speaking to me about ever since my mother quite frankly moved into an independent living residence. This is the generation that worked very hard, diligent employees that showed up on time and actually worked when at work. They did not find excuses as to why they didn't have to work and just let our government take care of them. They saved money, bought homes and land, acquired nice things in life they worked so very hard to get, meaning they worked hard and then they had the finances to get these nicer things in life.

So, they are now retired and regardless of the finances they have or do not have they are being charged exorbitant fees just to reside somewhere and pay rent. I am sorry, no matter what executive chef you have working in a kitchen does not merit overcharging elderly folks. From what I understand there are independent living communities charging their residents up to 10,000.00 a month, yes, I said a month! That shocks and makes me not a happy camper just hearing about it. I do believe, in the drawing I just completed today, Holy Spirit is showing me He is raising up a group of both bold and meek women He will use to take on the role as an advocate to defend the elderly. You know one day you will be in that category, and can you only imagine what you will be paying to reside somewhere geared towards the elderly?

So here goes ... yes, you hear about Mama Bears rising up and going to Washington DC to defend the rights of children in our country. He is also raising up a group of women that are the daughters of elderly parents that already experienced this. are going through this currently or will be one day future tense. They will be both bold and some meek in their nature all coming together for a common cause. As one voice in agreement defending elderly parents, grandparents or even friends. Regardless of the personal connection in their lives they have a heart to reach out for the vulnerable that were once the strong backbones in our country.

The interpretation given to me by Holy Spirit 7/23/2023 @ 9:28AM

"The base of the tree is a strong tree with male type of colors. The healthy tree that stemmed forth from a main tree are colors of a woman that would tend to like. Some bold & softer hues of purple are also in this picture.  It takes a male & female coming together as one to create life. This is portraying women being birthed both bold & meek in their nature that are saying yes to take on the cause of the elderly generation. As you look @ the picture your eye is drawn in the motion as going upward, right. They stem forth from the union of man & woman - grow in a healthy atmosphere & then go forth to take on the cause of the generation that is needed for today. Go forth & spring forth success."

Scripture verse given to me by Holy Spirit is Luke 1:45 "Blessed is she who has believed." Here is another bible translation too, "You are blessed for believing that the Lord would keep his promise to you."

This Is How It Works With Me When I Create. Must Have Creative Settings To Paint In ...

I am inspired when in creative settings, I really am. So, I am going to work on my drawing today and this is the plan of action. I was looking at the fresh flowers and eucalyptus I purchased yesterday, and this idea comes to me. Don't just get out one of my vases but I looked around and saw a large storage jar. It had a label on it so first task was removing the jar label. I then began to place the flowers in the jar the way I liked them looking. I then added a bow to the look. See, I know me and if I didn't take the time now to make the bow edges look nice it would have bothered me while working on my project and probably would have stopped to make it look nice. So, I took care of that right up front. Oh, the eucalyptus smells wonderful in the kitchen. My plan is to create an even more creative space on the back porch/patio for me to create. I will take the tabletop grill off of the table outside and replace it with the floral arrangement I just put together. I will then share a simple picture of what I am starting to create. It first started out with regular pencil sketches and then it was like I was filling in the spaces with color. For some reason I am going to take water to it to see what happens and then paint of some sort. Let's see what happens.

You know I don't do this to please anyone. I do this for me and just because I want to create. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I do this as an adventure with Holy Spirit and He creates beautiful things from nothing and that is what beauty is all about. It is all about having fun creating from a blank sketch pad or canvas. Following His leading and then the follow-through is created. 

Kind of looks like some sort of tree within a tree now @ this stage. I think this is going to be some sort of prophetic drawing with Holy Spirit giving me interpretation somewhere along the way. I am not an artist by any means, just a willing vessel to hear and create at Holy Spirit beckoning me. It really is fun.

Yesterday Brought Me To Visit A Friend's Mom In Nashville. She Is My Friend Also.

I was up early yesterday morning 7/22/2023 and honored a commitment I made. Then I went and did a few errands prior to heading to Nashville. I was on a mission to get a wedding gift to drop off for a couple getting married out of town and gather a few items to take to my friend and her family. You may say what odd items you bought but not so quickly in judging okay. Let's see, fresh apples, Amish cheese bar (green onion) Amish fresh corn on the cob and a plate of their oatmeal raisin cookies, a package of Duke's sausages, that sums it about up and then I did find an air plant in the cutest slice of watermelon ceramic holder with a smiley face on it. I was going to visit my friend's mom at a place where she is residing now short term that is. I must admit when I walked through the doors of this facility it brought back memories of me visiting my mom after she had her stroke. For some reason it was as if I was walking down the hall to visit my mom. Maybe it is a bit still fresh in me but you know what, life goes on and there are others to see and visit and bless them with your smile and encouragement. I say go on living and don't look back. It is in the looking back moments that just may keep you from moving ahead in your life and God's divine perfect destiny in your very life. Choose life for time really is precious, don't let go of time to hang onto yesterday past okay. I am being honest with you all of how tender it may be a bit inside of me especially with it coming up on my mother's birthday 8/5. A year ago, I was with her on her birthday when we all painted a canvass picture together where she resided at independent living and now a year later there is no visit for me to make to see her on it would have been her 94th birthday. Treasure memories but still be open to creating new and loving memories for today okay.

I started a picture I am working on now. I am using markers, and so far, colored pencils. I only see a starting image I place on the paper and then it grows from that. I am curious to see how this one finishes. I plan on staying local today and maybe working on that picture some and maybe making salmon patties with a fresh red pepper I picked from my patio deck garden. Yesterday I found a praying mantis hanging around in a plant not far from the hummingbird feeder. My mission was to not let this one harm my hummingbirds. Google search to see how they wickedly prey on hummingbirds and then you will see my point. I would see this praying mantis and flick it off of my plants it was hiding in. Yesterday I was able to deal with it before it attempted to harm the hummingbirds. The hummingbirds bring such joy to me when I see them, I wonder why that is?

After visiting with my friend, I was not far from a Trader Joe's, so I stopped in there for fresh flowers. I was walking to the back of the store, and I noticed this strikingly handsome older gentleman who had on the nicest soft lavender (very faintly patterned) it appeared to be a crisp, starched type of shirt. I noticed him connecting with me eye contact wise that is. I kept on going to the back of the store to use the restroom. When I came out there, he was again. You know when you walk past someone and there seems to be like an instant type of connection, that is what I would call it. Hum, maybe I should have commented on how I liked his shirt he was wearing? This appeared to be a man of fine dressing or the stature of a man that is established monetary wise dare I say. See, maybe it was one of those divine connections I missed for ministry but held back because this man was handsome. I don't know because I never pursued striking up a conversation. I am so comfortable striking up a conversation if it is a woman, I keep running into at a grocery store but why am I a bit shy when it comes to the same situation but this time it was a strikingly handsome male? Holy Spirit forgive me if I missed an opportunity you tried to set up for me yesterday. No matter how handsome a man may be I cannot let that deter me from stepping out in faith. I wonder what that was all about. I was not dressed up in some sort of fancy type of outfit yesterday. Oh, maybe it was the anointing covering me because I just came from a ministry visit in the form of visiting with friends? I hear from ministers how the anointing becomes attractive to people when the anointing is upon them. Hum, I guess I will have to wonder because there's no going back to re-create that situation again. I know Holy Spirit, He will setup another opportunity for me and that time I will not be intimidated to speak forth. 

Mockers & Spoofers Quit Doing This To Will & Dawn Of "yankeeinthesouth" YouTube Travel Videos. I Would Guess You Must Be Pretty Miserable In Your Own Life To Be Mocking Others. Do I Detect You Are A Bit Jealous Of Them? I'm Just Saying ...

I stumbled upon a different video on the YouTube television channel (unsubscribed version that is.) I take a break from news per say and ministry videos at times and with doing so I discovered that there are people out there blessing others. I watched a video of a couple that lives in TN, and they do videos of their travels. They go to many local establishments in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville areas and then venture out on the road. What I like about this couple is they are a down to earth type of couple that share in their own way and style about places they take you via their video camera. I recently began seeing people that spoof and mock this couple's videos somehow begin to appear as suggestions when searching for updated videos. It just is plain not nice and in poor taste to be mocking someone or doing a spoof on them. All I can think, or wonder is their lives must be pretty empty/shallow or just plain miserable that they have to resort to making fun of others. If I can be candid with you, I believe they are jealous of someone getting the number of views of their videos and are taking advantage of people accidentally clicking on their making fun of videos. You know, you may be trying to build up your own platform of viewers at the expense of another by mocking them. Guess what, that does not work and quite frankly what you are trying to do is a lame example of what not to do with videos.

Making fun or people throughout the ages has never been the cool thing to do. It is letting others into an insight that just maybe your life is somewhat miserable that you take to making fun of others. Poor manners and quite honestly it is not the right thing to do. Stop it now because God has an eye on this and one day you will stand before Him believer in Jesus or not and have to account for your actions in life. No one will be there to defend you it will be you standing alone before Him and explaining why you chose to use mockery to attempt to hurt another. Isn't there something in your life that you can be thankful for and just call it a day. Take that negativity and turn it around and you just might find yourself being happy sharing the good things in your life as opposed to making fun of good people. Why waste talent on tearing down others. Again, I am saying mocking others never is in style, it never was and never will be so just stop it now. I recently viewed a video of theirs when Will takes you back to where he grew up in Michigan and let me propose this question to the mockers/scoffers, did you purchase your first home at the age of 19 years old? Will did so just leave them alone. It is refreshing to see unpretentious people out there sharing to bless others. There is no smut in their videos and foul language used and they always close a video saying that they love you. I think that is quite endearing and lets me see places to know I now have no interest in staying somewhere or maybe want to go somewhere because they are showing you a place with no pretense. One of those places is staying at The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island. I did not think it was anything spectacular per say but everyone seems to want to go and stay there.

That reminds me of the time my husband and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. Quite honestly, the atrium and lobby were nice, but I thought the room we stayed in was sort of dumpy. I would not stay there again unless they had a spectacular renovation done since then in the 90's. Oh they did have good rice pudding in a little cafe they had on site. Now, I do like staying at Ritz Carlton's and the Four Seasons in Georgetown are lovely establishments. I tend to like staying at bed n breakfast establishments and I have found I enjoy staying at Super Host Airbnb's too. How come when I search out bed n breakfasts anymore it seems to be there are less of them to choose from? I guess people are taking more to the Airbnb route. Bring back quaint bed n breakfasts for the traveler that enjoys a warm and comfortable stay along with a great breakfast to greet you each morning. There just is something endearing about them, there really is. Hey "yankeeinthesouth" can you take us on some bed n breakfast adventures in your travels?

Simple closing reminder, it is never in good taste and in fashion to mock others, it just is not. Here is an example of a video where He takes you back to where he grew up in Michigan. I would guess this avenue is kind of like me taking you on my adventures but minus the video camera.

My life story growing up in Brown City Michigan meet will from yankee in the south.

President Trump I Implore You To Not Take The Bait Of Chris Christie & Others, You Are Far More Above That Nonsense Than You Give Yourself Credit For. Holy Spirit Still Has Me Daily Praying For You.

Remember President Trump God's plan and divine/perfect will for destiny ALWAYS wins out and do not forget that okay. These are not long words but words of encouragement lifting you up above the enemy's (spiritual that is using humans sadly to say) threats. This is just another ploy/trap set up by the enemy (spiritual that is using humans sadly to say) to get you to debate these nasty people in a public setting. You were raised better than that and are far more above this then maybe you even realize. There are strong and mighty people in God's army here on earth and joined with the saints in heaven praying for you and that justice prevails here on earth. May I remind you that God's angels far more outnumber the fallen angels that roam the earth trying to disrupt God's perfect plans. How ignorant they really are because do they not know God wins, He ALWAYS wins. Hang in there and keep focus on your past track record of things/accomplishments you did to better our great country and the greater vision you have to bring us back from the dung heap we seem to have been placed upon. Peace in the name of Jesus I speak this day. When negative thoughts may try to flood your mind then counter it with blessing others. Holy Spirit will place someone on your path to bring a beautiful blessing to. You know, sometimes it may just be a simple & sincere smile given to someone that has not had kindness extended to them in a long time. Holy Spirit always shows me those to bless He really does if you allow Him to. Peace will come back to our economy and nation once again as the saints continue to fast, pray & do acts of kindness as we are taught in the bible how to live a godly life here on earth as it is in heaven.

Here We Go Again, Why Does The Lord Use Me To Weed Out False Stuff Going On In The Church. Sure Would Like To Get Continual Laughy, Happy Words All The Time. That Will Come After Church Cleanup Is Done Amen.

You all know that I went to a woman's conference that was held in Nashville the beginning of May 2023. I was only able to go for 1 day because of family obligations quite honestly that took precedent over me going to bless myself I thought. Well, why did I even purchase a ticket when I wasn't able to attend all sessions? They were kind in the respect that they would have refunded me the ticket amount, or I could have converted it into a livestream ticket. Holy Spirit had me keep the paid in person ticket and select a day in my life schedule that I would be able to attend. He also nudged me to purchase the livestream ticket so I could be a part of the conference since I would be travelling out of state near the end. You know I had a friend traveling in to attend this with me and I reserved a 2-bedroom Airbnb for us in Franklin, TN. They were most gracious and understood how family took precedent over me at the time and I did not stay at that rental location. We were able to meet up one evening for dinner with another friend near where I reside, and we did attend one day of the conference together. My friend went to almost all of the services since they were there to go to the conference. This was used as a growing curve for my friend who I cheered on to attend the sessions even by herself and that she could do it without me being there with her. I said you paid, you are here and just go. So glad she did go. I myself, am almost sorry I did go the day I went though. No one I wanted to hear spoke that day but oh well. I enjoyed the time shared with my friend and the worship was great for the morning (especially the morning session) and evening session. We had great seats my friend selected for us both and we did not sign up in advance for prophetic word time and we both did receive prophetic words that day. I still have mine recorded on my phone. It delved into another word given to me before about going into the creative realm with painting. I had faith enough to believe in the event the one speaker who was sharing about art and healing was there that day presenting I could talk briefly about art healing the heart with my recent mother going to be with Jesus and how we painted together on her 93rd birthday in Atlanta almost 1 year ago. I had my painting and the very 1st one my mother painted when she started to paint with me along with another smaller one the Holy Spirit gave me the design to in order to take back the rainbow as God's not to be mocked by some organization that can just go and steal it from God! That presenter was not scheduled to speak the day I attended, oh well.

While there lets touchdown on the subject of the rainbow now. See, God will not be mocked by such nonsense you do know that right. This particular group which is claiming the rainbow as their symbol of unity is a farce because they only use 6 colors in their rainbow symbol, and we all know there are 7 colors in God's given rainbow of promise to His people. Let's have a lesson now on that if I may. The colors of the true and not counterfeit rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Got it good! Gee, I count 7 and not 6 that alone should put this thing to rest. I guess they left out the color of indigo and refer to purple instead of violet. See, the enemy will use counterfeit to counter the true and powerful of God and what He does. God will not be mocked, He will not. Quit trying to shove the phony rainbow symbol down the throats so to speak of Christians around the world. If the figures are correct in polls, I do believe there are far more with us than against us in numbers alone. Not counting in the mighty force of angels backing us and are with us also. Your cause is slowly fading into the distance and the mighty army of praying people will be shown in mighty signs and wonders in the forefront of this big picture. Repent while time is still at hand and turn from those wicked thoughts and join the army of God. If you read your bible, you will see that His army wins totally in the book of Revelation. Exciting times in which we live in right now they truly are. Do not give up hope but stand strong for Jesus, and He will direct your steps in your very life to get you to His perfect and not permissible destiny in your very life. He loves the sinner but does not accept the sin they are functioning in. It is time for not only the world to clean up their act but the church also. I will share a picture of the day when Holy Spirit began to show me what to draw in regard to the rainbow. I also have a picture of what it looks like finished. I created this on 2/8/2020. I had to mix colors and had to research how to mix them to create the colors of the rainbow. In preparation for this painting, I had to figure out how to get the right color used for the background to represent fire, that is how the fire practice creation came to be on the acrylic artist pad I had purchased to paint with. God is so creative, and I love that about Holy Spirit. Oh, one more thought on the rainbow. I was sharing with my friend how I have not seen a rainbow in the sky when it rains, and the sun is shining somewhere at the same time. I have trained my eyes to look in the direction of where a rainbow would appear in a situation like that. It has been many weeks when I look and see no rainbow in the sky, I wonder why that is. There I go pondering out loud again.

Do you think I am getting this revelation today because I followed His voice yesterday? See, I was completing errands yesterday and I thought I was going to go into Franklin, but I listened to the small, still voice of Holy Spirit and He directed my path, He really did. First stop was the Christian owned grocery store I discovered the other day. Great music playing there because it was Christian music playing throughout the entire store. I found a few items, including fresh grown local produce and Mennonite farm fresh brown eggs. Maybe I am going to do something come Thanksgiving time because tucked away in a box on a lower shelf was Caspari brand of dinner and dessert/cocktail sized napkins. 2 for 1.00 that is really a great deal. I see this brand at TJ Maxx and truthfully it is nowhere near that price. As I am about to pull out of the parking lot do I head to Franklin or keep on going to Winchester? In that split moment He says head into Winchester, so I did. I stopped at a local co-op to use the restroom, and this was a really nice and newer looking store also. I needed local honey and then I found a little decorative plaque. Guess what, Christian music also playing in the store there too. Went to Bargain Hunt because I needed a new camp chair style chair, and I purchased the last one they had with the storage bag with it. As I am pulling out of the parking lot I notice a local vendor selling produce in a local church parking lot. I wanted to drive past it to see if they had zephyr squash. I could not tell by driving by so I turned around and then parked to see. He did not have any and they sold out of their fresh corn already. I did not purchase anything and while waiting to pull out in traffic Holy Spirit nudges me to give him 5.00. I heard it but did not at first respond and then He said it again and I knew to give it. I rolled down my window and motioned him over to the car and said farming is hard work as he shared that their work is never done there is always something that needs to be done. How when the corn is ripe you cannot let it sit there you have to get out there and pick it. I handed him a 5.00 bill and he thanked me and I told him it was Holy Spirit. This little old farmer man had the kindest looking eyes, he really did. Never grow weary of stopping on your journey to bless others. You do not do it to be seen by others for it is God that see's and knows how your heart will respond to His beckoning you. Follow Holy Spirit guidance and you cannot go wrong okay. See, I would have missed the blessing opportunity if I went the other direction that day. Heading home I would drive past a salvage type of store and sure enough I stopped in that store yesterday too. Guess what, great Christian music playing in that store also. I picked up a few snacks to bless co-workers with. An 8 oz. sealed box of Russell Stover assorted chocolates for 2.99 and a clear sealed bag of individual candies mixed variety for 2.99. That all sprung forth by listening to Holy Spirit nudges. I love my adventures with Him I really do. Oh, my journey started off yesterday by making up a plate of brownies and I took them to the local shoe store that has been most helpful to me finding comfortable and properly fitting sandals for me. The brand they sell also sells online a footbed cleaner and brush set to clean sandals like Birkenstocks, etc.  I purchased some and began to test it on my sandal footbeds I already had of sandals since my new sandals did not need it yet. Oh my gosh it works so I went to show it to them, and they took a picture of it and said they will be ordering it for the store. I will buy it again because it works. I think I should have been a person that gets paid to test out products because I sure do a lot of that don't I. I feel if something works why keep it to yourself and let others know about it also. Oh, Ollie's had a buyout of The My Pillow brand towels and I purchased a few to see if they really did work like Mike's commercials demonstrate they did. I washed one set and they sure do absorb water like he demonstrated in the commercial. Also found they must have had a buyout of "Lock & Lock" containers at a great price point. See, I have learned to hold off on sharing some things because when I go back to get something they are all gone. Someone must be reading my blog or maybe it is a coincidence.

Back to the story at hand now ... I must admit at the conference I met an older man of color pastor that asked my friend and I in the lobby if we were enjoying the conference. Being truthful, all I could respond was the worship was great and looking forward to the evening worship. That opened up a door to ministry time right there in the lobby of that church. He gave us his phone number to call him with updates in our lives. I sat on that for weeks before I felt led to pick up the phone and call. It was mainly about letting him know a minister used his example of him blessing them at the conference to take up an offering that afternoon. I was in Atlanta seeing that happen livestream. I then asked him if the 100.00 bill I blessed him with was the very same 100.00 bill he blessed the head of the conference with. Sure enough, it was. So I begin to share how Joan Hunter spoke with me in the bookstore that afternoon and what she directly said to me which quite honestly did not sit well with me. I had to ask her to repeat it to me again so I could write it down. I then put it past my spiritual mother in Ohio and we both agreed that God does not speak death but life over your destiny and I did not receive those words from her. Joan, you have to stop placing word curses on people to get them to come to TX to get ordained through your ministry. That is just not biblical at all and quit doing that because you will have to answer to God Almighty one day for that. 

When speaking with her she told me there was an assignment of death over or on my destiny until I went to get ordained through her ministry. Oddly enough, I completed all coursework in 2014 but never felt led to go to TX for ordination or I said I attend church on Sundays via livestream Jimmy Swaggart church in Baton Rouge and there is no pastor to get a statement from in regard to my Christian walk/ life. She responded that Baptists that get ordained through her ministry their pastors don't believe in certain aspects so these people cannot get a written statement from their pastors, so they expanded that portion of the application process to have a Christian friend that has known you for 3 years or longer write up their statement in regard to your Christian walk. Even at that you are still looking at just under 500.00 fee prior to you going to TX along with paying getting there and lodging too. As I am sharing all of this with the pastor over the phone he feels led to say he will ordain me under his church and there is no fee involved and how he had to wait and go through this and that when he got ordained. He told me to send my history of ministry info to him on a 5 x 7 card along with my name, address, etc. I told him I actually have a resume of my volunteer experience I had to print up and would then list names of people in ministry I was trained under. I finally did that and placed it in the mail. So, several times I reached out to see if he received it in the mail. We finally connected and he did say he received it and then I told him he was right when he said to me he was waiting to see how my ministry was about to take off and explode so to speak. I shared a bit on the phone with him and he said he would call me back that night. No phone call did I get and have not received since then either. Guess what, I am thinking I will not get ordained through this man of God because he does not follow through with what he says he is going to do (in reference to him calling me back) is what my mind set was. Today I will try to reach out and let them know I rescind my wanting to get ordained through his church. I cannot sit under a ministry or get ordained with one that operates like this. So, was this the enemy using this man or was he planted by another to see what my background in ministry really was. I spoke with him today and sure enough, the enemy plants things to happen to give the appearance that your mind begins to wander with thinking negative thoughts. What the enemy was planting in my mind to think was totally the opposite from what I was thinking. Forgive me Lord for almost judging another. I am still praying about this, and it is not for me to decide if one shares with a ministry what happened in that room or not. That is between the people that were in the men's ministry session. I think I was trying to look out for the women that could have potentially been harmed by that session if the man of God didn't stand up and say pornography is not good at all. Now that is to be commended that the man of God stood up and spoke truth to the other men.

One more reason I am thinking I will not get ordained via this minister is because of something he shared with us in the lobby that day at the conference. He was in one of the breakout sessions for the men and 2 local pastor/preachers connected to this conference and one of them had been on tv before is all he shared. They were telling the men in that room it was okay to participate in pornography and he said he stood up and said pornography is never right and it destroys lives and then that shut down further discussion of that teaching. So, we told him how in that very church we were there one evening to receive the word of God and at the time for whatever reason Lou Engle felt the need to confess to us his sin with pornography. We shared with him how we were women and that is not something we expected to hear that night Lou's confession to us all. There was an altar call and both women and men came forward with their problem dealing in pornography. I was sickened by that experience, honestly in the presence of holy ears of women they did not need to hear that. Why didn't he confess his sin before his congregation or in his city of residence, why Nashville? Even today that happening still baffles me. Apparently, all is good with him now because he is all around the circuit preaching. So, some men are forgiven for their sins and others are made an example of to the world that sure does not seem fair in the one looking in on this. If God forgives all when one turns to Him with a true, sincere repentant heart then who is man to go around judging others they feel they can use as an example. Be careful because the finger pointers just may see the fingers of others pointing on their sins and it backfires. All should repent now and ask God's forgiveness.

I point blank asked him if he ever reached out to the leaders of this conference and told them what happened. He responded no and another time I felt led to share that he should have an obligation to reach out to them because they may not be aware that even took place with the men that day. If he wasn't there standing up against pornography the men in that very room/chapel breakout session were thinking it is okay to dabble in pornography. I tried to tell him they need to look into these 2 that shared because the wives of the men in that room should be defended. After all it was a conference for women in which they could also bring their spouse to get ministry in these breakout sessions. I never thought I would see the day in which preachers/leaders in the church would say it was okay to participate in pornography. What a sin sick world we truly do live in. Church clean up your act, no more playing around and delaying this also. I would ask him 1 more time if he ever shared with the conference leadership what happened that day with the men's breakout session, if he responds "no" to me then I have no reason to be ordained under his ministry is my mind set. I will update you on all of this. So, I once again must repent because I was thinking so rigid. I am a cut and dry sort of a person but in reality, not everything works out like that does it. I am still praying about this ordination.

I Had A Dream In Which I Was Submerged In Water Via A Submarine This Past Week.

I believe it is time for me to share the dream I had. It was peculiar and took place somewhere in the Adriatic Sea. I knew it was okay to share now because I already sent off an email to Charlie Shamp's ministry sharing about the dream I was given. What provoked me to share with his ministry was him sharing a recent encounter with the eye of God and my ears perked up when he began to share about him being submerged under water. God can use something as simple as that to prod one on to share.

I received scripture confirmation about my prophetic dream. Then the next day or so I was watching a recent video where Benny Hinn was sharing about the anointing. Sure enough, the same chapter of scripture I was given he then shares but further down then what I was shown in the scripture. Then last night after watch Jessee Duplantis Visionary 2023 live I was given the personal interpretation of the dream that evening 7/13/2023 into the dawning hour of 7/14/2023. Be patient when receiving a dream of the Lord okay, sometimes it needs to marinate a little with layer upon layer added upon it for the right timing for the picture to come forth in entirety, not just in bits and pieces. I love my life I truly do. See, in the midst of all of this I sat outside early yesterday morning having coffee on my back patio/deck and some little bug bit my left ankle. I only knew that happened because I began to feel an itching type of sensation then my ankle began to swell up. I placed some witch hazel on it, and it did not alleviate the swelling. So, just before bed I took a little Benadryl in case there was an allergic reaction. Thank God the swelling began to dissipate and with a magnifying glass I did see an insect bite of some sort. Oh, the scripture confirmation connecting the pieces of the puzzle together for me from Benny Hinn video is 1John 2: 26-27 "I'm writing to you about those who are trying to deceive you. The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don't need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ's anointing teaches you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do."

I woke up today and knew it was time to bake brownies. During the day I made some and before baking them I spread some chocolate little bits and broken Oreo cookies to bake in the brownie. I am about ready to make some homemade cocoa butter cream frosting then decorate them with more chocolate decorative, edible pieces. I imagine it is time to bless others with them. I wanted to make them on my brother's birthday and did not so today I redeem that time. You know when I bake, I am a pretty good baker, right. Let me correct that, when Holy Spirit nudges me to bake that is. I just made the cocoa frosting and boy oh boy I so wanted to taste the frosting, but I did not. I frosted and decorated the brownies, and I am typing now while watching live Jesse Duplantis Visionary 2023 meeting tonight. Oh, I used some of the good vanilla my sister brought back from Honduras in the frosting.

"7/11/2023 around 4:00am

Must have been with family somewhere in Croatia & our Croatian relatives owned a pleasure type of boat - it was actually a submarine & some family boarded this submarine & it went under the water - I would guess the Adriatic Sea since it was Croatian family of mine that owned this vessel. I did not quite frankly enjoy this mode of transportation even though the interior had the comfort of home it was furnished with inside. I did not see any windows though in the section I was in & where the person was driving the submarine. I recall stating how the temperature got colder inside compared to the warm temperature outside on a sunny day by the Adriatic Sea.

I don't know if it was the drop in atmosphere changes going deep down in the water - in the dream I felt a slight/faint headache coming on. There was a point when the person steering the vessel walked away from the control panels & I then thought does this vessel go on auto pilot. There was light but not bright light in the interior but had comfortable features one would expect while travelling - couch - like living room setting & even soft music playing. In the dream I thought this is not my preferable way to travel & experience the water per say.

The next scene I am viewing this from above somehow-I see the submarine emerge to the surface by a pier - dock & the Croatian family gather to greet us from our underwater adventure. I had no desire to go into & experience the submarine adventure - not really. Scripture given to me by Holy Spirit 1John 2: 10. Very interesting in my bible margin, I notated 1 John 2:10 on 8/19/2022 1 day after my birthday that year & we came back from a trip to Atlanta to visit my mom & celebrate her 93rd birthday in which we painted with her that same day. Almost 6 months later she went to be with Jesus on 1/14/2023. Between verse 3 & 11 these are the things I already had underlined. "Those who say that  they live in him must live the same way he lived." "the darkness is fading and the true light is already shining." "those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. Those who love other believers live in the light. Nothing will destroy the faith of those who live in the light." "Those who hate other believers are in the dark and live in the dark. They don't know where they're going. Because they can't see in the dark."

Before I received the personal interpretation Holy Spirit had me break ungodly soul ties with a list of names Holy Spirit gave to me on 7/7/2023. I then drew a Jesus Christ bloodline between each individual and myself.

So, here is the link to view the Benny Hinn video on the anointing. It is very important for you to view.

The Mystery of the Anointing and The power of the Scriptures // Pastor Benny Hinn

I also viewed a video of Ryan LeStrange being interviewed by Jeremiah Johnson; he also interviewed Jenny Weaver in another video talking about witchcraft in the church and then still another video of Ryan teaching recently on closing demonic doorways. I have been filling up with lots of preaching lately.

Oh, I upgraded to a monthly partner with a ministry which allows partners to see conferences they had. I was intrigued to watch a conference Global Fire Church has around the church's 10th anniversary they were about to experience. I just could not understand what went wrong with that church because it surely did show Jan and Jeff looking to be fine together. I saw faces of people that attended the conference that I used to attend the church on Wednesday nights and some conferences. It baffles me what happened in this church mess that took place, my heart was a little sad viewing this because I can see what happened down the road just a few short years from then. I also watched Benny's wife preach at the same conference he was at and then I felt inspired to watch a video of their re-marriage to each other. It is a beautiful video. 

Oh, the Holy Spirit personal interpretation was for my life and that is why I am not sharing it.

Closing DEMONIC Doorways

Guess What Just Literally Happened While On The Back Patio.

I went to sit on the back patio while the pasta and sauce are finishing up cooking for dinner. No sooner did I sit down in my chair and a hummingbird came up close to me and fluttered around a bit. I did not move so as to not scare it away. It was so close to me in proximity that I literally felt a breeze from it fluttering its wings. That is experiencing God's nature firsthand and up close. I told you God is always good. I never experienced that before living in the bigger city in an apartment while sitting on my patio there. God's wonders never cease to amaze me, is it the same in your life also.

This Is How I Welcomed In My Day Today, 7/9/2023 ... Happy 70th Birthday Ricky.

As I sit on my back deck there is a welcome coolness in the air this Sunday morning. I arose this morning saying inside of me praise words from my heart to Jesus about who He is to me. That then progressed to singing words of who He is to me and from there I began to sing in tongues and my eyes were shut as I still remained in bed giving honor and thanks to Him. He says to me to open my eyes and when I did, He told me angels were all over and filled my room. In that moment I got a little itty-bitty revelation to bake Oreo brownies today and share them with people. Here is the insight, my brother Ricky loved Oreo cookies and my mom would even buy a package of them just for him. He was always slender and tall in stature, and she would buy them for him. He was older and was working at the time and my sister and I were still in grade school. I was the older of us two girls by 2 years and still am silly me. I knew I was going to share with you the picture I painted for Ricky's birthday, I wonder if he can see it from heaven. I go into the living room, and I purchased a week ago fresh flowers from Trader Joe's and placed them in front of a sculpture an aunt had made when he died at a young age, his early 20's. It is a mother holding a child near her heart with 3 children at her feet. Representing the loss of Ricky but us 3 remaining children still alive. I always thought it was a beautiful piece of sculpture and I asked if I could have it when our mother went to be with Jesus, and it is on a table with a little picture my mother had of him. Low and behold, the lily was in full bloom this morning facing the sculpture and the fragrance fills the living room. I placed the flowers there the other day not realizing the lily was going to full bloom on his 70th birthday, Imagine that!

Yesterday I went and did errands and while doing them I briefly spoke with a family @ Aldi's looking at celery like I was also doing. I commented that I didn't think it looked so good and there is only me and I would never use all that up before it went bad even though I still had a little bit of celery left in the refrig. I noticed there were 3 of them shopping with a baby too. I then got this great piece of info they shared with me. They don't buy it to cook/eat with but for the bunnies outside. I never knew bunnies that live outside like celery. I shared how I put out some flavored golden raisins because my daughter's domestic bunnies like them as a treat, but the outdoor bunnies did not eat them. So, before I sat down to write I cut up a few pieces of celery and placed them on the lawn, let's see if the bunny finds them and enjoys them. I also bought hot pepper bird seed ring and a holder for it and put that by the tree. It claims birds like it, but squirrels don't. I may bunk that theory because as I came out on the deck this morning there was a squirrel eating away at it! I then also bought a little deck shepherds hook so the hummingbirds could have space to enjoy the nectar and away from my other plants so the praying mantis will not have a chance to wait in my plants to go after the hummingbirds. My oh my there was much, much hummingbird activity this morning as I am sitting outside. I added to my plant's lemon grass, and it is doing nicely along with another small grape tomato plant that is growing too. I re-arranged the placements of my gardenia tree and 2 plants, and I think I found the right place for them and what they need to grow. Let's see only time will tell. The birds are active eating at my neighbor's bird feeder this morning. All is good, all is good.

I hear and see the small planes flying in the sky already and it is not even 9AM yet. Oh, give me enough time to explore and right timing and I do get answers to my inquisitive questions I have. I was curious as to how all the people parachuting jumped off the same plane at the same time when I would see them gliding in the sky. Well, I was near the place where they seem to land at after jumping out of the plane. They got a pretty lucrative business going on here if you like to sky dive or parachute out of a plane or whatever you call it. I followed the trail yesterday. I knew the local airport was close to a store I was actually heading to at the moment. I then thought to myself, I wonder where this street leads to, and I then followed it. Sure enough, in the distance I see the people getting close to the ground and landing from their adventure. I then drove a little bit further and turned left and parked my car and watched planes landing. From what I deduce it appears to be about 3 or 4 planes take loads up and they release them it is not just 1 plane releasing all these adventure seekers into the sky at the same time. Why does this fascinate me, I have no desire to skydive but do enjoy the benefit of seeing others though. 

Years ago, do you remember when Gevalia would advertise giving you a complimentary coffee maker when you purchased their coffee. They tended to advertise a lot in magazines. My mother participated in that, and she would make some really good, flavored coffees and also got a few of those coffee makers throughout the years. I think I had one of them she gave to me when she got a new one. She may have blessed me with one of the new coffee makers too. Well, oddly enough the other day there is a local grocery outlet store I stumbled upon, and I went there because they had that brand of coffee but not just regular roast type of coffee but flavored. I bought some chocolate mocha, and I am enjoying a cup of it now while writing this. A little bit ago I heard a train passing through town, do you think I should write as a marketer for people to come and enjoy country living. I planted the other day from seeds fresh dill and chives, and they are coming up nicely. Uh oh, here comes a squirrel again do you think it is coming to try the hot pepper bird seed? It jumped onto the tree where I have it located and then it thought elsewhere and just jumped back on the fence instead. A little brown colored bird just came up on the deck and perched briefly on the patio table sitting right next to me on the table leg under the table and there goes another hummingbird as I sit here. I think wildlife is enjoying the cooler temperatures this morning, do you agree.

I think I am going to make some ricotta meatballs today with hot pepper flakes in them and some of my fresh parsley I am growing. I really wish you could hear the many wonderful sounds I am hearing of nature this glorious Sunday morning. I have found the best way to make these meatballs is in the air fryer, yum yum. Pasta, sauce and meatballs are on the menu today. There go 3 geese flying by.

Do you love my at times whimsical format of writing. I jump from here there and everywhere but it all somehow comes together in the end to share the experience with you. To God be the glory. I can even hear the faint sound of a little lilac colored pinwheel rotating in the gentle breeze and the faint sound of one of the windchimes. Life is really good when you look at it through thankful eyes.

After painting and taking a picture of it, it reminds me of a hillside either with a sky in the background or water. I don't see that as I am painting though, I just get images of what to paint and color, textures to mix also. For some reason I keep sensing it is somewhere in Italy.

Here is the bloomed lily.

Here is the sculpture with a beloved picture of my brother Ricky my mom had. That picture was taken at my sister and I's Croatian debutante ball we were presented at in 1976, literally a few months before my brothers boating accident.

I Am Proposing To You, This Is A Humbled Man Of God In Jeff Jansen. Can You See Why I Defended His Name To An International Prophet In Which I Was Rebuked Several Times For Speaking Truth & Reaching Out To Them. I Forgave That Prophet Many Months Ago. I Was Caught In The Middle Of Crossfire Between Truth & Lies Spewing Forth. God Have Mercy.

Do you see what I saw. Oh correction, I was not at any of the angel series meetings when I checked my journal, I carry with me in attending meetings to take notes. Looks like I was there in September 2021 when he shared about insights for the Hebrew year that time, I think it was 5782. I spoke with Jeff on the phone a few months before he went to be with the Lord. It was a divine connection in which someone contacted him because I had a testimony to share about planting monetary seeds into his ministry and I wanted to plant another seed at the time. I continued to plant monetary seeds into his life even though he went to be with Jesus. I shared about the faith monetary seeds I would leave at the cemetery in faith a permanent grave marker would be purchased to validate his existence here on earth for he does not need one where he is now in heaven. His work here on earth brought glory to God and now he is in the presence of God Almighty. 

I recently went to the cemetery where his body was laid to rest. I called my friend while there to let her know I could not find his grave this time. My marker would be finding the little plastic grave marker and it was nowhere to be found. I knew I was in the right location because of the prior times I went there before. That day I was going to bring a little American flag to place by his grave. She was the one I was on the phone with when I heard his grave crying out "Justice" when that happened a few weeks after he was buried. We both agreed for me to go to the office to see if his grave was moved. They looked up in their system and he said Mr. Jansen is still buried there. I said the plastic grave marker was removed. He replied that maybe someone from the family took it away. They(meaning the cemetery) does not take it away until the permanent grave maker is put in place. Because of privacy all he could tell me was the family is in the process of getting a permanent grave marker. Please help out this family if the only thing that is holding this up is of a financial need. All of you that so wrongfully accused him of things maybe this is the opportunity being presented to you to make reparation for idle words spoken against him. You know God can change things around in your very life if you walk humbly, love justice and do good. It goes something like that I am not a bible scholar, and you should know that by now. Let me look up the scripture so you cannot accuse me of not knowing what I am talking about okay. 

Found it, Micah 6:8 "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."

The Early Bird Catches The Worm; I Wonder Why I Woke From A Dream w/ Jan Jansen In It Today 7/7/2023 & Why Did Pastor Jerry Bryant Give Me A Nasty Look When He Looked Directly @ Me As He Walked By @ A Nashville Women's Conference A Few Weeks Ago?

I woke from a dream early this morning with Jan Jansen in the dream. I could not go back to sleep and began to look to see if a grave marker was placed at the grave of Jeff Jansen yet. I could not find it online yet. Does that mean there still is not one placed to acknowledge this prophet's existence here on earth. When I go, I will update you if there is a grave marker in place or not. I felt led just a few weeks after Jeff was buried to go visit the grave and pay my respects. I was on the phone with my friend as I was there, and I began to cry with just seeing a plot and a plastic cheap looking grave marker. It looked like a cheap plastic small picture frame. In the moment I shared with my friend I could hear the word "JUSTICE" in the spirit crying out from this very grave echoing. I wonder what that was all about. If there were so many friends, prophets, pastors, ministers that Jeff knew throughout the years and I am sure they all have money coming in from their successful ministries, then why can't they pool their money and get this man a grave marker and while you are at it, why not order a bench to be placed by the grave too. Why has this become a task for me to see it through until a grave marker has been placed there, for some reason Holy Spirit is using me to be a voice crying out in the wilderness. I shared with you how I placed monetary seeds tucked inside the space of that cheap marker in faith for a season believing for a grave marker and that season passed in my life. The few times I visited the grave and brought flowers I wondered why no one brings flower to the grave?

So, in my search I came across this video of Jeff and I feel led to share it with you. If I recall correctly, I was at one of these meetings when he taught on angels. Let me tell you this, I only attended a very few of his meetings before he went to be with the Lord and I saw a humbled man, a truly humbled man. I can say that not hearsay but because I witnessed it myself in person. I am speaking this out now to those that pointed the fingers, judge not lest you be judged. There I go speaking out loud again.

This was on Jeff's Facebook page live November 28,2021.

This Is Peculiar. Holy Spirit Wants Me To Proclain My "New Adventure" I Had A Dream & He Showed Me A Piece Of This Beautiful Tapestry Of My Life. Let Me Share If I May.

You know, I have found out that Holy Spirit speaks to me in a variety of ways. Sometimes directly in scripture, through ministers preaching/teaching, billboards on the highway, music etc. One of the pronounced ways He does capture my attention is in dreams He gives to me. Did you notice I said "HE GIVES TO ME." You have to take caution when it comes to the dream realm and not be fooled into something the enemy wants you to believe was a godly dream. Test the spirit and the dream itself. It is okay to seek Holy Spirit and ask if the dream was from Him or not, I highly encourage you to seek out His wisdom.

Onto the dream now it was a little after 4AM this very day 7/5/2023. Oh, I just wonder if dream time was released because I sat on the back porch early last evening and painted on a small piece of canvas. That painting was in honor of my brother's 70th birthday we would have celebrated on 7/9/2023. When I tend to flow in things of creative nature Holy Spirit speaks to me in other facets of my life. He really does. While painting I didn't see what I then saw when I took a picture of it to send to one of my children. I now see a hillside with blue sky as the background. I thought the color combinations were unique. One direction on the canvas were blues and white combo and the lower section was red, yellow and green. How interesting is that!

In the dream I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I am on a new adventure. I knew I rented a luxury car and then the next close-up scene, view it was zoomed in on the rental agreement number of days the car was rented for. Even in the dream I remember saying to myself as I counted the number of days that most car rentals are for 7 days, and I counted, and it was reserved/paid for 8 days. Hello, we all know 8 is the number of new beginnings. Remember I shared that when my mother went to be with Jesus, she died at exactly 8:00PM and I took you into the number journey back then.

Let's see what Dr. Barbie Breathitt's "A to Z Dream Symbology Dictionary" has to share about pertinent items in the dream.

Strike 1 I could find nothing to explain a luxurious car rental so the closest would-be car.

"car: an individual, personal life and ministry, vocation or family ministry, small church, business or job; level of anointing; represents your present ability to influence and carry others along with you."

I was not shown the actual car make, model, year, color I just knew in the dream it was a luxury type of car.

I received the scripture verse the other day in hindsight looking back to confirm today's dream. I told you Holy Spirit flows in creativity. Quit putting Him in a box and let Him have freedom to create. Scripture Numbers 24: 9 " His people lie down and rest like a lion. They are like a lioness Who dares to disturb them? Those who bless you will be blessed! Those who curse you will be cursed!"

Must I remind you that I am part Jewish, and this speaks of those in reference to Israel. Do you see the big picture here, I sure do. Don't mess with God's people because His scripture states just what will happen. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God. Praise you always and forever Amen. So be it, Amen.

Today's Drive Had Me Explore A Park I Have Driven Past Before.

I went to my local Pop Shelf and was able to buy 4 more matching bowls to the 2 already purchased. I then went to Tractor Supply to get the 2 hanging hooks I needed. On the way there I went down a side street and was able to drive to the lake's edge. Heading back home I shopped at Kroger's and purchased a lemon grass plant and small grape tomato plant that already had a ripe tomato on it. I will plant it with my other cherry tomato plant, there is room to add that to it. There was a small city park and boy oh boy you can almost go to the lake's edge there too. Do you like the pictures I took. Oh, I did not take video last night of the fireworks but did take 2 photos. In person was much more spectacular than the pictures I did take.

I love my Holy Spirit initiated road trips because He knows exactly where to stop along the journey. Oh, this is important too. My little interaction at Whole Foods yesterday. I saw an older man with white hair as I was in the store. Holy Spirit prompted me to ask him how he was doing. He responded and then asked me and I also responded. Then he told me I had a beautiful smile. I then leaned in to tell him my smile was Jesus. I think I may have caught him off guard a little and he responded are you sure. I then said yes, I am sure and went about the rest of my shopping there. Am most disappointed that the pizza section does not assist you and you have to self-serve yourself even though there is a person standing behind the counter making a pizza. What is that all about. I thought people shop @ Whole Foods for their service and quality of items they sell. I went to the service desk to inquire if they could bring back the pulled pork and brisket they use to serve on the hot bar. She said they cannot ask that request and was told the cost of meat per pound is expensive and they lose money when they make it and put it on the hot bar for purchase. Imagine that.

I should almost be a tour guide because I tend to seek out things to do when I move to a new location. There is that inner urging in me to explore and so I do. Lots of pontoons out on the lakes in this area. Except for the people fishing they use a different type of boat. Also see a mix of speed boats too.

Tonights Adventure Took Me To Local Fireworks, Spectacular 🎆🎇

🎆🎇 

When speaking with my back porch neighbor yesterday they told me how nice the 4th of July fireworks are where I reside. I knew where they were being held (at the local high school stadium.) I then got in my car to find a parking spot near the high school since I knew that parking lot was already filled up. As I was driving down the main road, I began to realize just how big of an event this actually was. People in vehicles parking in all sorts of business parking lots with people getting out of their cars to sit in chair they brought. I went down from the high school and found a front row spot across the street and diagonal where the stadium was located. I let Holy Spirit guide me to the very spot. It sure was. When they began the fireworks, they were the good quality ones. You know, the fireworks that as they go off, they seem like they are coming at you. Spectacular display. Where parked and the location they were shooting them off at it was like me looking out my driver side window and I was positioned like it was the direction in which they were coming from that direction where I was parked.

The people parked in a truck to the right of me had a great idea. They backed their truck in the spot and had chairs in the back of the truck. 2 in the back & 2 in the front of the truck bed, they climbed up and sat in the truck and looks like hey had Chick fil a with them too. The family to the left of me brought chairs out and sat in them. I truly enjoyed this spectacular firework display. So glad I went.

Earlier in the afternoon I went into Franklin to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Marshalls & Pop Shelf. I picked up one of the Portugal bowls that will complement the 2 I bought the other day. They did not have the design I bought the other day, so I better go to the other store to get 2 more matching bowls. Sure hope they still have them. I found out that not all stores may get the same patterns of the bowls. It is hit and miss. The bird scene I bought today when I inquired if there were more than 1, they told me they just may have only received one of that pattern/style. God sure is good all the time and He is especially all the time good.

I was impressed with the fireworks that I took a video clip. Only thing is, the video just doesn't capture the spectacular view I saw with my own eyes. Got to go and get a hook tomorrow to secure to the deck to hang back up the wasp trap. Hopefully it will work in the new location. While sitting outside last early evening I was watching the birds eat at the bird suet I put out for them in the holder. See I bought an anchor type of hook and screwed it into the tree to hang the feeder from. I enjoyed watching the birds go back and forth from my neighbor's bird seed squirrel proofed feeder to my suet feeder. Variety can be the spice of life so to speak.

Moral to this story, just because you are not living in a big city does not mean you can only get spectacular fireworks in a big city. I guess it is fitting to not judge a book by its cover, I think that is how that expression goes. 

President Trump, Simple Request Of You When You Are Back In Office.

President Trump, I have a simple request of you when you are elected back to office as President of the USA. It seems like everyone, and anyone gets a month set aside for them and their heritage or sexual preference nowadays. Is it possible that a chunk of time can be dedicated, recognized and celebrated on a national level for heterosexual Christians. I think that would only be fair, do you agree. Uh oh, there I go thinking out loud again and outside of the proverbial box. What do you think.

You have not because you ask not. I wonder how many others may have had that thought cross their minds. "To life-to-life L'chaim, L'chaim, L'chaim to life."

Back Porch Neighbors Are As Sweet As Can Be.

This morning I was outside taking updated pictures of the plants I am growing in the yard. This has never happened before in TN. Now, this used to happen when I lived in the smaller community of Vermilion, Ohio. I see my neighbor out on the deck, and I said Good Morning. Then I shared how I went and bought doughnuts yesterday and would they like one. I told them the choices and maple frosted was the one selected. They then went and got the container I brought the rice dish to them to give back to me. Believe it or not they asked me if I wanted to sit down for a bit. Well, that brief little conversation lasted about almost 2 hours of neighbors getting to know each other. It was starting to get warm outside, but a gentle breeze now and then would pass through. I have found that if you let someone share, they have a story to tell you. I am blessed to have a lovely neighbor to sit on the back porch with. Let's call this a back porch neighbor chat. I think this is more common living in a small rural type of community as opposed to a larger city type of community, do you agree.

Do you like the updated pictures of how my garden grows? Quite honestly, this was a good change from watching livestream church today because 2 Christians gathered together and when 2 or more gathers isn't Jesus in our midst. There is only so much time you can watch ministry related videos and classes taken, there comes a time when you then take it outside of the walls in your home to your neighbors and neighborhood too.
