Here Are 2 Very Important Videos Addressing Hell Via Darlene Bishop Driscoll Preaching & Not Holding Back. Do You Think The Church Just Might Need This.

I knew of Darlene Bishop years ago and her marvelous healing testimony in her life. I think this connection goes way back to my days living in Ohio. I stumbled upon her preaching on the subject of hell a few weeks ago and feel led to share with you all. Really, there are only 2 places you will reside for all eternity when you draw your very last breath here on earth, heaven or hell. Look around and see the times in which we are living in, and I would highly suggest taking a personal look at your life and the decision you made/make to live in either place. This is a sobering type of blog entry but Jesus cares that much for you than you care to realize. Choose wisely, the choice really is yours. You know there is also the eminent reality of Jesus returning to come and claim His people here on earth. That is biblical and the bible states that when he comes to get His people the trump will sound and the dead in Christ will come up and then the believers in Christ will rise up in the air to join the dead in Christ. Please be prepared in your life for either situation.

I have been blessed by Darlene & Phil Driscoll's church recently. Their Christmas church concert was absolutely beautiful. I even watched last night, 12/27/2023 the Wednesday service and even one of my children commented how she is the real deal is what they said to me. Let's explore the realm of hell okay.

I Highly Recommend Going To See A Delightful Movie @ The Movie Theatre...

One of my children saw a movie trailer for the movie, "Wonka" and treated us to an early afternoon movie @ a local theatre on Christmas Day while dinner was cooking in the oven. We had a delightful start to the day with communion and prayer. I was pleasantly surprised how good this movie actually was and, in the end, the good people win out. People need to see things like this movie to lift your spirits and see that good people truly do triumph, they really do. Go see it and explore the creativity on screen through this movie. So many people feel like we felt that this movie is so much better than the original Wonka movie made years ago.

I just kept thinking to myself what a delight this is, what a delight this is. Yes, dreams given do come true. Follow the dreams in your heart and never give up on seeing them come true okay. I had brisket of beef slowly cooking in the oven while @ the movie. The whole house had the wonderful scent of brisket cooking in the oven. Then I steamed some fresh broccoli and squeezed fresh lemon on it while it was steaming. Sliced raw carrots and after pulling the beef out of the roasting pan I then placed in the natural juice the carrots to cook. You really have to make mashed potatoes using a pressure cooker instead of boiling on the stove top. There just is no comparison of flavors cooking this way and then don't just mash the potatoes but put them through a food mill and you will have no lumps in the mashed potatoes whatsoever. We made a cucumber, tomato & onion vinaigrette salad and Publix potato rolls heated in the oven. This year instead of serving the sliced brisket and placing in the natural juice I made as a request by one of my children. To actually make brown gravy using the Gravy Master recipe on the bottle. It turned out lovely. Oh, I did slice some beef to go in the refrigerator in case someone wanted to make a beef slider type of sandwich with the potato rolls.

It is good to spend Christmas with family, especially if a dear loved one went to be with Jesus, and you can't help remembering they were with you meaning being alive this time last year. Oh, you know what I did this year. I pulled out my mother's gift-wrapping container and used one of her sets of scissors and actually wrapped presents with her paper and ribbons also. I put on each card a little memo letting them know a bit of her was with them this year as I wrapped their presents with her wrappings. Isn't that a clever Holy Spirit idea. He is so creative, and I forever love His nudges, I truly do.

Blessings of joy and great joy with you today.

Nashville's BNA Airport You Really Need To Fix Your Serious Traffic Control Problems Entering & Exiting The Airport. Why Don't You Hire People To Direct The Traffic.

Yesterday afternoon later in the afternoon I had to pick up one of my children from the airport. I knew of the traffic backup problem @ this airport when I dropped one of my children off for departure flights in October. That was pathetic then the long line that started once you got off the highway for that exit. I had no idea that I would be experiencing the same problem going to the arrivals exit off of the highway. Why can you not alleviate this traffic mess with hiring traffic directing personnel. This is not a complicated thing to resolve. Get physical people at busy times at the airport to direct the traffic flow. You know, like when a traffic light is malfunctioning, they then place officers at the intersection to direct the traffic flow. How hard is it for you to be pro-active to alleviate this very big problem. My GPS said I would arrive there by 4:17pm and I was sitting on the highway just to get off the highway and then you have to merge once off the exit, and it is quite pathetic the line you are sitting in, and it is moving very, very slow. I sat there in traffic, and it was 4:45pm when I actually got to the arrival area to pick up my child. Then, we literally sat in the same traffic jam problem trying to get out of the airport to the highway. Put a traffic director out there to control the traffic. Better yet, you have to be making lots of money @ this airport with the amount of people I see coming and going so put that money to good use. Pay extra dollars to speed up your construction projects so the construction is done faster and more expedient to get this done once and for all. Instead of seeing this or that road closed with barriers up, traffic lights not working, etc.

This is not rocket science and if I, being a woman, can see how to solve this problem then what are the high salary executives doing to work out this problem. Maybe fire them and say we do not need your services anymore and hire women that think with sensibility to solve this problem that you created. Get the job done so we can enjoy visiting with family/friends and not have to sit in traffic either picking them up or dropping them off. I have a credit voucher for an airline I really do not want to use it until this airport gets fixed. Why should anyone that is local have to consider staying overnight at a hotel so as to not have to deal with this traffic backup the day of travel. FIX THIS BAD TRAFFIC FLOW PROBLEM okay. 

They travelled here from GA, and they said there was no traffic problems/traffic jams at that very large airport they flew out of like we just experienced.

Last Saturday 12/16/2023 Great Holy Spirit Adventure. Involves Going To Crumbl Cookies, Cemetery & Einstein Brothers Bagels in Franklin, TN. Want To Hear About It ...

This past Saturday was one of those divine destiny days if I may say so myself.  I had to be at an early morning appointment in Murfreesboro. I saw in advance a portion of my day and agenda to be fulfilled. I knew a few things, get Crumbl Cookies to bless the cemetery office team with for their kindness to me this past year when I would inquire if the grave marker for Jeff Jansen had been ordered and placed @ the gravesite. I had to go to The Fresh Market to get some decaf peppermint cream coffee and to get bagels for when one of my children comes for a visit. That is all I knew pre-trip. See, when you allow Holy Spirit to direct your steps He does.

Never tire from learning regardless of your age okay. I knew to bring with me a Christmas card so I could fill it out to give with the cookies to the cemetery office personnel. I did fill it out. At Crumbl Cookies I was going to get as one of the cookie selections the red velvet sandwich type of cookie until the older in age server suggested not to get it. She tapped on the display cookie for me to see it was a hard and not soft type of cookie and it was not selling so well and not good reviews on it from people that purchased it. Lesson learned was to take the advice from a person who deals with this situation all day long. I go to the cemetery and sit in the entranceway and share my faith seed journey the past year of coming to the cemetery periodically to check on status of grave marker. It really is a testimony to bring great glory to God. I shared and blessed them with the cookies and then felt led to actually go and see the temporary grave marker until the permanent one is put in place. I share and call this my Christmas miracle prayer being answered; indeed, it was.

From there off to The Fresh Market in Brentwood for the coffee. On my way there I stopped @ Bruegger's Bagels but they were all sold out for the day even though the store was still open for business? I went and got the coffee and while in the car I called Einstein Bagel's in Franklin at a location that was not closed yet for the day to see if they still had fresh bagels. I inquired and said if they were not going to be fresh since they were made earlier in the day, I could just go to Publix early the next morning when those Einstein Bagels are delivered to the bakery department. This is when I learned something pretty valuable. Just because you see the name brand and placed out each day does not necessarily mean those are fresher than purchasing from the actual store. I found out the Publix stores are getting corporate Einstein Bagels, and they are frozen then thawed out if I understood correctly. Wow, see you just never know something until inquiring. So, I let the manager know a few flavors to put aside for me that I was heading back to Franklin from Brentwood.

Hang in there with me okay. I was closer to heading back home but something inside of me just wouldn't let go of me going to get bagels. I walk into the store and recognize a prophet and his wife at a table, and I inquire excuse me are you ... I recognize you from the Fusion Conference in Nashville. I am so candid and just assume prophets prophesy wherever they go so I asked are you here prophesying to everyone @ Einstein bagel. I think I may have mentioned that another time also. I shared how they prophesied over a well-known prophet @ the conference, and I then stood in line to get a book signed by that prophet. I made mention to the prophet that I did not know they were going to be prophesied over in the meeting and I already wrote up a card with a donation inside the card that sure did correlate with the word just spoken. I also commented how his wife was on a interview with Mike & Cindy Jacobs recently. She responded that they both just taped an interview with them, and it will air I believe it will be 12/28/2023. See, follow Holy Spirit and He never lets you down or disappoints you. All I knew was to get bagels to take home and individually wrap each one and place in the freezer. I stumbled on this one, take the frozen bagel and place in microwave about 30 seconds. Slice the bagel and place a little butter on each side and put in the air fryer for about 5 minutes and you have a delightful, toasted bagel. I let them know my child said not so much for the everything bagel, but I sure was on target for the other bagels I selected. Guess what, the everything bagel was already in a bag, so the manager said to the staff person waiting on me to just give that bagel to me too.

I then run into Publix, and I am going down an aisle and I hear a man on the phone asking is wax paper the same as parchment paper and I know they are not, especially if you are going to bake with one. I gently said they are not the same as I walked by. Apparently, the person they were talking with needed parchment paper and Publix was all out of it at the time. I did use their restroom while at the store and commented to the front desk that the Publix where I live has a much nicer/newer restroom and is a much smaller store and maybe they need to do a restroom remodel. Do you think I need to place filters on my thoughts or just speak the way it is. My suggestion may just be heard and acted upon someday.

Oh, there is more to this adventure. Remember when I placed the 20.00 bill into the hands of one of Jeff's sons and found out Jeff's birthday was going to be that Tuesday? In the mail on that very birthday was an unexpected check in the amount of 11.35 for me. I reached out to a very wise man that I don't know why I do but refer to him as a pastor to pastors and shared about the check amount. I searched in Isaiah 11: 35 there was not scripture, and I searched the reverse but nothing to be found in regard to the meaning of the dollar amount and Jeff was wise when it came to biblical meanings of numbers. I heard Isaiah. He then shared the numbers added up equal 10. Sure enough, Holy Spirit wakes me the next morning to go read Isaiah 10 the entire chapter. Then He speaks something pretty sobering to my heart about this chapter. He shared with me that what is located in this scripture is referencing the USA and the enemies of Israel, both groups. Do not worry if you are a true born-again believer in Jesus because He watches out for and protects His own and the country of Israel also. Be encouraged and do not fall for enemy chit chat okay and follow Holy Spirit guidance and you will be just fine. Never tire of sharing your testimony with others because you just never know how your testimony may encourage another or be used as a confirmation in their very life. Jesus is Lord and never forget that. All is well, all is well with my soul.


Temporary grave marker until permanent one is placed there.
 I was glad to see that someone is coming to visit the gravesite and pay respects because I did not place these flowers here and they had fresh flowers at one time when a picture was sent to me. Yes, visiting a gravesite can bring healing to you also. Jesus heals the broken hearted and never forget that.

May I Share My Sunday Holy Spirit Adventure, This Is An Answer To Prayer & Monetary Faith Seeds I Planted. Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.

It all begins with a seed faith word Holy Spirit places inside of you. When He does that don't be surprised if He has you walk it out in unique ways, He most assuredly will. I have found that to be so evident in my faith walk with Jesus throughout the years. I have shared on my blog the strong prompting by Holy Spirit to see one day a grave marker for a minister that flowed in signs, wonders, miracles and salvations for Jesus on an international level. Remember those journey's when I would go to the cemetery and place monetary seed offerings tucked under the plastic grave marker? I then moved out of the area, and it was not so easy to go to the cemetery to see in faith if the grave marker was in place yet. You know, everyone should have a grave marker to commemorate a person's life here on earth if they are buried at a cemetery, do you agree.

I think it may have been 3 times I placed flowers at the grave and one of them was a Fall artificial flower bouquet I made to place by the grave. I am not one of those people that goes to a grave of a preacher and rolls around and tries to get some sort off anointing from doing so. I was every time very respectful of the grave and would try to not walk on it and figured out a way each time to graciously place the seed faith monetary offering tucked under the plastic grave marker. Through my visits I did find out the cemetery itself does not place I like to refer to them as cheap plastic frames to mark the grave. Funeral parlors that handle burials provide them if the burial is not done through the cemetery itself. I also found out that through things like weather or mowing of the grass those plastic frames could somehow not be there on a visit.

My very last visit to the cemetery a young man helped me find the grave since the marker was no longer in place. This young man was a Christian and while we were at the gravesite, I shared how I believe everyone should have a grave marker to recognize their life & death. I even shared that this was a man of God that international led people to Jesus. At that visit because I really did not know where the grave was situated, I stepped on the grave and felt so bad and may have even expressed that as I said God bless you Jeff, but I was looking down at the grave then I said while looking up in the sky to heaven God Bless you Jeff. If I recall it went something like that. I corrected myself because he is not in the ground he is in heaven and one day I will see him again. The young man said amen and gave me his business card if he could ever be of further assistance to me.

People you have to understand me, I am not one that goes to cemeteries to visit gravesites, I don't even do that when I am back in Ohio and drive the distance to Kirtland, Ohio where my family is buried, I just don't do that but will visit family graves when at the cemetery for a funeral. I am not cold hearted or anything like that, I just know they are in heaven and not in the grave anymore. Does that make sense to you. For some reason, Holy Spirit placed this within me to step out in faith in reference to Jeff Jansen and I chose to follow through. I gain absolutely nothing from being the grave marker advocate so to speak other than following Holy Spirit fast & obedient to His beckoning's. A wise older gentleman I like to refer to as a pastor to pastors many weeks ago suggested to reach out to his children that attend a church nowhere near, I live now and see if the grave marker had been ordered. It was not right timing inside of me though. Holy Spirit showed me getting a 20.00 bill to take with me but on Sunday, I did not feel the unction to go that day and did not go then. I planted that 20.00 bill into someone else's life. Why, it was all God's timing. See, the seed thought was planted for the time to take action. Does that make sense.

All I knew was Jeff's birthday was sometime in December and it had a 2 in the date so when I went this past Sunday, I thought his birthday already took place. It wasn't until late the night before Holy Spirit drops it inside of me to take 20.00 as a seed offering to bless the older children of Jeff's family the next day. I did not have a 20.00 bill on me so I was up early @ Publix to buy Einstein bagels (that dog gone impulse buying got me to buy G.H. Cretors cheddar cheese popcorn too) and then increase the sale by 20.00 to get the 20.00 bill I needed for this mission adventure. In order for me to arrive at the church I had to allow myself 1 hours' drive time to get there. I get to the church, and it was filled with cars in the parking lot. There was a Christmas pageant/play that took place that day. I was seated and there was a little scene that brought tears to my eyes, and I had to use a Kleenex. I remembered what one of Jeff's sons looked like, but I was not sitting anywhere near where they were seated. Church was released and they were having a dinner, candy station and ornament making areas to for the guests to partake in. I was going to leave because I do believe in God's timing until, I spotted one of his children with his family and then I walked down the stairs to greet them. I gotta tell you this about me and what about you too ... isn't there a little hesitation when you are approaching someone you really don't know, and the words could become jumbled, or presentation is not the way you thought it would be? Don't let the enemy distract you and stop a moment with God do what I do. I ask Holy Spirit to let me step aside and His words flow through me. I sometimes visualize from my heart to my mind to my ears to my mouth if I am speaking or to my hands if I am writing and I let go so to speak and let His words minister through me. Oh, another important thing. Holy Spirit will show you in advance talking points and He will make sure you cover them all in the conversation. Be sensitive to His leading okay.

Remember how I shared it was all about God's timing, He will confirm something to you, He really will when you step out in faith. The words just flowed, and I gave his son a 20.00 seed faith offering for Jeff's family. I shared a bit and then did confess I was the lady that would place monetary seed faith seeds at the cemetery with the plastic marker and I was respectful of his father's grave also. I shared that I kind of know a little what they are going through since my mother had a stroke last year and 1 month later, she went to be with Jesus. I shared how his father was a good man also. So, the grave marker has been ordered and I said oh will it be in place next Spring and he responded it will be there sooner than that. Answered prayer, do you agree. What was more touching was when I said isn't your dad's birthday this month and he replied it was Tuesday. Not past Tuesday but the Tuesday following the Sunday, I handed them the 20.00 bill. I went to my car and began to cry how faithful God is to see prayers answered. I like to call it my Christmas miracle prayer answered. I planted this seed offering for a very specific thing Holy Spirit placed upon my heart. That is known as stretching your faith big time. To God be the glory. Oh, I also left a voicemail msg for the older wise man that planted the seed thought weeks ago and even in the msg I had tears in my eyes. My work was done for this Holy Spirit project, onto the next one now.

Lesson being taught today ... when you hear Holy Spirit voice do not turn away from Him but draw near to Him and He does share secrets with friends of His, He really does. With an overwhelmingly heart filled with gratitude I submit this blog entry to you all. Seeds of kindness never drop to a fallow ground but a very rich soil to receive the seed and let it grow and prosper.

Don't Sit Around & Mope, Bless Others Even When You Feel Like Not.

I was in a sort of mope type of mood today. Like I didn't want to do anything today, but I knew I had to pull myself out of it and bless others and that is what I did. I baked peanut butter with mini chocolate chips and mini-Reese pieces in the mix cookies. I also baked red velvet with cream cheese baking chips cookies too. Oh my, I had a few miniature Reese cups today & a few Hershey kisses too that were left over from making the Christmas trees. I had to nip that in the bud so to speak. How did I do that ... I bagged them up in a cute Merry Christmas zip bag to take into work to give to a co-worker. In the event she wanted to make those Reese Christmas trees.

 I pulled up CNB radio music and played Christmas music and paused to listen to a time of ministry this afternoon with Dr. Aaron Winter's ministry. See, to get out of a certain state, you operate in the reverse and pull yourself right out. Yep, I filled out Christmas cards, packed up some home-made cookies and chocolates from Waggoner Chocolates out of Canton, Ohio. I have them ready to go out in the mail to bless those that have blessed me. I really wanted to go into town which is about 35 minutes away to look at a larger tv for one of the bedrooms that I have a 32" tv in that room. I just didn't want to go today so why sit around and do nothing. I at least changed the bathroom shower curtains to the Christmas one's I have and put up a few Christmas decorations. Hey that is a start right. Sometime, I still have to make butterball cookies, and Christmas Crack candy but in a slightly different version this time. Using ritz crackers not saltines and after the chocolate chips melt on top of the toffee portion, then you spread on top of that Heath bar pieces and chopped pecans. Oh my, I can only imagine the calories in a piece of that.

So, lesson learned ... don't sit around and mope even though you may feel like it. Others are out there ready to receive the blessings that can only come in the fashion you send forth the blessing. Sure, people bless others all the time, but do they bless in the manner that is your personal style of blessing. Be adventurous and bless the one you really want to bless in your heart. I can guarantee they will not turn down or turn away that special blessing coming from you. If you don't bake, then how about sending fresh flowers to them to be delivered to them @ their home. Just a thought or two.

I Made Reese Cups Christmas Tree Treats, Too Much Work For Me But Hey I Made Them @ Least Once.

I saw this adorable recipe and it looked to be pretty simple to make so I purchased the ingredients and told a few people about this fun recipe. I began putting 1 together thought it did not look in proportion to the rest of the tree. I am a person that will find a solution if I don't like something or something is not working the way it should. The recipe just says a Reese cup as one of the ingredients. I double checked the recipe, and it does not say to use either regular or snack size Reese cup. It does tell you to use Reese miniature and Hershey kisses but not specification of the size of actual Reese cup. I made both and let me tell you it is nicely proportioned as a Christmas tree when using snack size Reese cup as opposed to full sized Reese cup.

Then it showed using that frosting in a bag you can get down the baking aisle. Well, it worked at first then it stopped coming out of the tip on top and came out of a seam in the bag, I used some as the glue needed to put the pieces together to create the tree. The recipe actually called for melting some chocolate chips to use as the adhesive. I tried both and guess what? One of each came unglued while decorating the trees. I still decorated the 2 trees and then re-glued the bottom miniature Reese cup back to the tree. I like to get creative so I thought I would like decorating with my home-made butter cream frosting, so I made some and colored some frosting red and some green. Then I had some decorating sprinkles already but found a really cute sprinkle combo @ Michael's craft store and utilized that also. I was shopping at a grocery outlet, and they had sugar cookie Hershey's kisses, so I bought a bag to change the style of some trees. How fun is that. When I first saw this recipe idea, I shared it with a co-worker and on my lunch break I went and bought some of the ingredients I could find and then came back, and we tried to see if it would actually work. That is called trying out a rough draft before delving into a project.

I tried decorating the first tree I made with the frosting in a bag and did not like the look so that is when I began to think what it would look like with my home-made frosting. Well, let me tell you this there really is no comparison of the taste of frosting in a bag/tube compared to the flavor of my frosting. That is personal preference, and you may like the flavor of one over the other. This is America and that is the beauty in living here we have choices to make. Do not let others try to coerce you into something when you just know deep down inside of you that what they are trying to force you to do, say, think is just not right. I call that Holy Spirit guidance/direction, or you may refer to it as deep down inside of you, gut instinct.

So, the disproportioned Christmas trees I have some miniature cupcake liners and it fits perfectly in one, so it now looks proportioned.

I saw another intriguing recipe and I think I may want to try it also, Menorah shaped Challah bread. I do not think it is a complicated recipe. I may make in advance and freeze for Christmas dinner. Can you tell I like creative projects? Oddly enough I found a mistake in the recipe. It states as an ingredient water but the actual direction states in step one "in bowl of stand mixer, combine yeast, milk ...."

I am not just like this in my personal life, but it spills over into my professional life also. I saw something not working like it should and I reached out to the creator of the program and inquired. Guess what? They found a fix for the glitch I happened to find while using the program and they fixed it. I was most thankful for the assistance. I do not need recognition for this, but I do wonder if/why others using the same program didn't catch this? Maybe that is because I have this attention to detail built inside of me. I just finished reading another ministry book and sure enough I think I found a typo error. I think this book was self-published and I am not going to reach out to this minister. Time is too short, and I think there are other much more important things in life to deal with and prayers that need to be prayed and fasting coupled with that prayer also.

As each day gets closer to 12/14, I wonder now and then if my mother knew she was going to have a stroke and then die 1 month later. I think about random things like that. This time last year I was getting my place ready for my mom and 2 children to come and visit and spend Christmas with me. It never happened and I know my mom was excited to come and spend time with us together. Instead, she laid in a hospital bed and then off to 2 different rehab type of places to assist her in recovering from the stroke that kept her left side from full functioning. She was a food snob (in a good way I mean this) she knew a lot about cooking, baking, and how to make something taste wonderful when she cooked/baked. She still in my opinion made the best ever pie crust. With this new place in her life, she was now not able to eat without someone assisting her and not regular food we may eat but food that when she swallowed because of the left side of her body from the stroke it also affected her left side of swallowing, she did not choke. How can a wonderful cook be brought down to this in her life?

This morning in time with Holy Spirit I inquired of things like this. He so lovingly assured me that her 93 years living here on earth are just a drop in a bucket compared to the glorious life she is living in heaven for all eternity. There is no comparison of time like we know it here on earth. I asked Him why she had such a hard life here on earth and He assured me once again, that time on earth is nothing in comparison to the wonderful life she lives in heaven now and that is for eternity, not just a mere 93 years on earth. My mother was a giver, encourager and she knew how to love. See, what you do on earth for others with a heart filled with love really does matter when you invite Jesus into your heart to be the love of your life. He died for you and me so we will not live in a living hell for all eternity but in heaven with Him for all eternity. The choice is truly yours, really think about this most important decision in your life that you will ever make. Choose wisely because once you draw your last breath here on earth there is no going back on that decision. You decide where you will live for all eternity, either heaven or hell. There is no in-between limbo/purgatory like some would like to think. No, if you choose to take innocent lives and think that is your grand prize when you draw your last breath, you will be sorely surprised when you meet the fate of your final demise in hell. Do not listen to the lies out there being told to people. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus into your heart and to cover your sins with the precious blood He shed on Calvary for you and me.

I have been burning the candles each night of the Menorah. Last night I tuned into Marty Goetz and his wife. I wonder if when I attended my university right in the heart of a large Jewish community if Marty still lived in Ohio during those years with his family. Imagine that a Jesuit university that welcomed Mother Teresa on a visit to the campus while I attended the university right in the midst of a Jewish community. Only to find out my true heritage a few years ago. Do you think that was a design in my life by God Almighty. That is not a coincidence but called divine destiny. So, I love the way they sing, pray, worship together as a couple. I would like that in a marriage. Where the couple genuinely like/love/respect and treat each other with loving manners and words of love. You can tell they really like being together. Isn't that something worth waiting for in a marriage.

I Prayed & Fasted Last Week On Behalf Of Another. That True Prophets Would Pick Up In The Spirit Truth That A Minister Is Being Deceived Big Time By Trusted Staff Pilferage From The Ministry.

You know there is only so much prayer & fasting to be done and when you don't see the results it is time to move on. I have shared how I had 4 dreams in reference to 2 people within a ministry that have been cooking the books so to speak and being very clever @ hiding it. I asked Holy Spirit for a 5th confirmation dream weeks ago and never did receive it. When I least expected it He gave me the 5th dream it may have been last week. Why 5 you may ask, the number of grace and 5 is a pronounced number in my life.

If it was not for Holy Spirit interpretation along with Him giving me scriptures to confirm them, I may have passed by these warning dreams. I have already prayed that when the truth is revealed in its fullness there will be those to gather around the main minister to help them in the restoration process and especially in the portion of feeling betrayed by those, they truly trusted. I am a pretty peaceful person in my life so when I see controversy my 1st initial instinct is to run away from it so as to keep the peace in my life.

I had a recent opportunity to speak forth something to this effect You will be okay when you find out they have been pilfering from your ministry. In that moment Holy Spirit only allowed me to speak forth the portion that they will be okay. I wanted to blurt it all out at once, but Holy Spirit pulled me back, so I honored that. Why is no one seeing this deception but a woman who is not gaining anything from seeing this quite evident truth? Baffles me, it truly does. So, when I least expect it, Holy Spirit gives me the 5th in a series of dreams pertaining to this. I sense in my spirit to hold back on sharing the dreams with the minister and trusting my 5 dreams will only be used as a confirmation once the information is revealed. You know I mentioned of a possible opportunity, and I even took with me the journals in which I had bookmarked the 4 dreams at the time. I felt Holy Spirit say to me to not bring them with me and I did not. Do you know how frustrating it can be at times when Holy Spirit shows His friends details, and you have no microphone to share it in its fullness. I prayed so many times that when this takes place there will also be restoration right there at the same time. It is terrible to feel the betrayal of those you so deeply trust.

I wrote this 11/22/2023 but kept it in draft form until now when Holy Spirit says to share it on 11/26/2023. 

The Other Evening, I Was On A Prayer Call Meeting To Pray For Israel. This Is The Piece Holy Spirit Gave Me That Night For A Prayer.

During this prayer call gathering as I was praying in tongues, this is what came forth to pray for a prayer. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your faithfulness:

"Father release glory & a huge glory cloud to cover Gaza & send in your warriors with exact precision to go release the captives & a release of the presence of God in the entire region."

I believe that was Wednesday night. So, last night I was scrolling through on television options and literally stumbled upon Marty Goetz's livestream. I watched the entire broadcast, and it was most tender and beautiful at the same time. His daughter and family were in town and a sweet & tender part of this particular session. I saw the challah bread they were to partake in and thought to myself, I just baked challah bread and brought it to the conference I attended last week. I still have some left in my freezer from when I made it last week. His little grandson is a mighty prophetic inclined insight child that brought forth incredible wisdom for such a young age and a most powerful prayer to go along with the insight. The words of truth really do come out of the mouths of babes, they really do. May I encourage you to seek out the 10/27/2023 replay of that session. It will touch your heart, it truly will. I could not help thinking on and off again of how Marty originates from the community in Ohio where I spent 4 years while attending college in the midst of a Jewish community. I then wondered to myself that why did I not know back then as a college student of my heritage, and it was saved for me to find out when in my 60's. I would guess that is one of the mysteries of God in my life.

The Importance Of Hearing & Following Holy Spirit Guidance, Every Sacrifice Matters To Him, It Really Does.

If I may share a brief testimony with you today, 10/31/2023. I little bit ago I attended a conference in Nashville/Brentwood. It was powerful, insightful and a mighty refreshing to my body, soul & spirit. It was just what I needed in that moment in my life. I was shown weeks in advance to start gathering items to place in a "thank you, hospitality gift ensemble" to bless the ministers of this conference. I kind of had an inkling to bake challah bread but I dismissed it until ...  I believe it was the day or 2 before going to the conference and I had this heavy nudging to bake challah bread. Challah bread is not some easy 1, 2, 3 and then it is done type of making bread. You have to prepare the dough, let it rise, punch down the risen dough, roll into ropes, braid the bread, let it rise again then place egg wash on top and sprinkle with sesame & poppy seeds, then you bake it. I was shown to make a round loaf and then a regular loaf braided. You do get 2 loaves of bread out if the recipe. I was on the hunt to discover a new way to braid and make a round loaf to try and make. I found it and, in this recipe, you make 6 equals in length ropes and take 3 places of them on the baking sheet, then weave 3 the opposite direction with the 3 already in place. There is left over in 4 directions, and you braid these tails of the bread and then tuck them under the dough and that creates the round loaf of bread. This is kind of funny, this dough requires about 8 cups of flour (I used bread flour) and at 1 point you just keep incorporating flour into the dough and somehow, I had a fight with flour that seemed to get everywhere in the kitchen. Think of a light dusting over items in the kitchen. I had to clean it all up. I was using the regular mixer attachment as this was happening and then switched to the dough bread kneading attachments and that seemed to reduce flour getting here, there and it seemed like everywhere that day. I baked the 2 loaves of bread and trusted Holy Spirit to bring with me this unique host gift to a ministry. I wrapped it up and place it separate from the other items with a short note stating Holy Spirit had me bake this in the event they all wanted to partake in communion while the conference was going on. I did my part in all of this as Holy Spirit nudged me to do.

The first night of the conference I found the kindest contact person I had been communicating with via email prior to the conference and gave her the gifts for their team/ministers. I thought nothing about it once my portion was done. I received an email thanking me since they had some of the baked goods, I also tucked in with everything else. They did not have time to go to dinner that night and so they enjoyed some of the items in the gift set and was going to give the thank you note and everything else to the main minister the next day. It was mentioned that someone suggested they did not do communion and they wanted to. Imagine that, Holy Spirit truly does know situations and what to do in them doesn't He.

I received an email the other day and sure enough, the loaf of challah bread was used for a group communion. See, no matter how odd or unique a nudge from Holy Spirit may be follow His guidance for others will truly be blessed with the follow through okay!

This actual conference I received a prophetic word from one of the lead people in the prayer team while standing in line to get a book signed by a prolific author. They kept mentioning how they saw the color green around me and spoke about it. You may think to yourself no big deal, but it was. That evening unbeknownst to me the main platform spoke about the color green. I was on a mission to find this person to tell them the prophetic word spoken was then spoken on the main conference stage, imagine that! I found this person the last day as I was leaving. They were outside praying for a person that had a curvature of the spine and as I was waiting, I could actually see the back straightening out. I briefly shared with them how I was witnessing the power of God with restoring this person's back and then I shared about the color green they spoke over me. Apparently, the green cape is pioneer covering.

One more experience I still need to somehow connect with another author/minister for further insight let me share. There was a younger in age prophetic person that I met a few years back in Gatlinburg for a retreat I attended. I knew then this person was honest, and truth came forth from them. I was thrilled to see them ministering at this conference, so I bought a book of his and waited in line for him to sign it for me. The night before there was a mighty move of Holy Spirit, and he released a word about dreams and things of that nature that people were going to experience. No dream but it was somewhere between 3am-4am this happened to me @ the hotel. I had on a pair of lightweight walking type of socks on, and I woke up with my right foot right big toe burning sensation. Almost like my big toe was on fire if that makes sense. I removed the sock and eventually it dissipated and subsided. I felt led to share how the word he released had this happen to me. You will never believe his response ... the exact thing with same foot and big toe happened to him as he was preparing to come to this conference. He was going to seek out further insight from one of the other prophets about the meaning of this.

As Holy Spirit leads me maybe I will share a bit more at another time.




Sorry, I did not take a picture of the round loaf of challah bread I baked.

I Am Ready To Share Now ...

I week ago, on Saturday 10/7/2023 I had a lovely day filled with peace and joy. The weather was beautiful, and I started my day out early. I had to be at an appointment around 9AM and then I went into Franklin & Brentwood. I found a really good pair of walking shoes and at that establishment in Franklin they actually did a 3-dimensional foot measurement. Amazing. They showed me how to tie the shoes a certain way so as to not let the shoe be loose around the ankle area. I followed their example when I got home and tied my other pair of walking shoes like they did. It really works.

I went to Trader Joes to get some fresh flowers and fresh eucalyptus. I went to Brentwood to an exercise equipment store to inquire about a certain type of exercise equipment. The manager was so knowledgeable and actually showed me a few tips when using a particular piece of exercise equipment. The model they carry is much more expensive than what I am looking for. They actually are supposed to carry the piece of equipment I want. Not on display though so I will have to go directly to the maker of the equipment to place an order. Oh, the entire day I had the song by Cody Carnes & Kari Jobe "Blessing" on repeat mode all day long.

I get home and never did I realize what was going on in the world. Israel to be exact. I began to watch the news and I kept thinking this is like 9/11 all over again. I cried, cried and cried some more. As it was unfolding, I kept thinking how other human beings could do this to another human being. Including innocent children, babies and the elderly amongst all that they destroyed. Never in my lifetime did I ever think I would be seeing something like this actually happen.

I eventually fell asleep on the couch and then woke up to go to bed. Well, I could not sleep, and I think I then fell asleep around 3AM or so. You know when King Xerxes in the book of Esther and he could not sleep, he asked to see the daily records/journals? That is what I felt to do, and I began to read my journals. So many dreams and prophetic promises yet to be fulfilled. It was sweet re-visiting prophetic dreams and words Holy Spirit spoke to me about. One of those writings in a journal of mine I read about waking up from a dream and it was May 15, 2021. Holy Spirit was speaking to me about Hamas back then. Imagine That! It sort of shook me then and even now since what is actually taking place in 2023.

I had days this past week in which I would just begin to cry with thinking about the horror of one group of people having so much hatred for another group of people that they would actually go forth and destroy the lives of them. I prayed. I cannot imagine the sheer horror in the homes of these families as they were slaughtered. There were times when I just could not watch more news and news updates and had to watch something pleasant like Paula Deen cooking or the yankeeinthesouth videos of their travels. Maybe tonight I need to watch a Doris Day movie or something like that.

October 3rd was the anniversary of my father going to heaven. On that same very day was the first day I noticed the hummingbirds were no longer partaking in the nectar. I still kept up the feeders a few days beyond that in the event there was one that did not begin their journey down south for the Winter months. I cleaned the feeders and began to prune my outdoor plants and it was time to pull out the tomato plants and discard them. Getting ready for Fall & Winter. I am thankful for being able to sit in the sun a few more times this past week. I did put the wind chimes away for the winter also.

A few weeks ago, I went through a powerful deliverance and that was a prayer answered since about 2009. God is faithful and He knew the time and connection I needed to fulfill this.

Today, I was sitting on my back porch and realized the great importance of the tree in the backyard. I wanted it gone in the beginning of the Spring but there is great purpose in this tree. There are berries on this tree and not only are the squirrels enjoying them, but I see birds eating of the berries also. The hummingbirds would rest in that tree while they were here.

I keep praying for the mighty angel army of God releasing His mighty angels watching over and protecting Israel so the testimonies will come forth like they did in other times of need in Israel. I have great faith to wait with expectancy to hear these great testimonies of the enemy not advancing because they saw the mighty angels there and they then backed off or saw the hand of God. That is called holy fear.

I found a beautiful blue colored hummingbird-stained glass type of wind chime today and I will save it for next year. I am keeping 1 or 2 outside through the winter so I can hear the winds when storms or snow stuff might happen.

Do you think I should make some challah bread this week to bless others. I am getting pretty good at making this. Well, it is so similar to the recipe my grandmother used to make. A braided bread but the only difference in the recipes is grandma used sugar and challah uses honey and then sprinkling sesame seed or poppyseed on top before baking it.

I composed this on 10/14/2023 because it took me that many days to feel I was able to write and share about what took place in Israel. I did make challah bread last week and created a braided round loaf to take and bless a ministry @ a conference I attended. I also made the 2nd loaf and put that one in the freezer. This conference in which I attended was one of the most timely and powerful conference I had been to in quite a while. I knew I was supposed to be there, and it was a true time of refreshing and encouragement for my life.

My daughter flew in and spent time with me at the 2 different hotels I booked. She wanted to come and relax and didn't mind at all that I was attending the conference. I did sneak away Thursday night and we went to dinner together and visited. That one church they were holding a few evening services at was way too many steps here there and everywhere it seemed like, I did it the first night but not that 2nd night. I did also meet a few friends, (and my daughter) and we always wanted to go on a particular tour of Nashville probably since 2019 and we did just that Friday morning. We all went on the tour, and I must admit my favorite place to stop on the tour was seeing the old train station. How beautiful, how beautiful the stained glass is. It actually matches the pattern in the floor tiles. My one friend remembered coming to the train station years ago when it was just that and she gave us a few insights about it. I think the tour guide stated the rooms at that hotel are around 300.00 a night. There was also the Hermitage Hotel in which the room rates range anywhere from 500.00-800.00 a night to stay there. When the tour started in the morning hardly anyone was on the streets of Nashville. When we returned from the tour going into Brentwood & Franklin those same streets were then filled with people. They were on those crazy peddling bars; how and why would people even want to drink that time of the day let alone on a peddling bar? Do people have such little regard for their lives that they think drinking alcohol is the in thing to do. Did you ever wonder why some bars refer to the term of liquor as "spirits?" Why would you even want to knowingly partake in drinking something referenced as "spirits?"

Well, that is the update for now.

She Loved Well, She Really Did. Mrs. Honeybun Went To Heaven Yesterday 9/25/2023

One of my children had 2 pet bunnies and she loves them well, she really does. She had BunBun first then adopted a 2nd bunny companion for BunBun. She named her Mrs. Honeybun. My daughter has a tender/compassionate heart and adopted an abused/pretty blind rabbit that inflicted that abuse upon her by her prior owners. My daughter loved and nurtured her to the point where she felt comfortable and loved with no more fear of abuse in her life. Well, Mrs. Honeybun went to heaven yesterday due to medical complications. I can testify how not only she, but my son loves and have compassion for their pets. They try to call me grandma to their pets, and I draw a line in that. A grandmother is to children not pets is how I see it. Even though, I still get treats and things like that for both of their pets. I pray for them also when they need prayer too. The bunnies loved sour flavored golden raisins I would send as a special treat for them. Cat toys for the other child's pet I send to them. I also do find gifts with a bunny or cat theme like dish towels, etc. for them. 

This is kind of funny. For some reason when my daughter would take the bunnies to visit my former mother-in-law, they would call her the bunny whisperer. The bunnies would hop on over to Grandma sitting on the couch and sit/lay by her like if they were a cat or dog that sits/lays by someone. She just had this way with them, and they really would sit by her and from what I understand that is not regularly known behavior of bunnies, but they did for Grandma. So, I am sure by now Mrs. Honeybun already found Grandma in heaven and is visiting with her. The pain of losing a loved one is real; it truly is even though you know they are in heaven.

The other day I was at a store in which I used to purchase Amish books for my mom to read and she loved reading them. I have to think to myself how when I walk by, I no longer buy those books, except ... When finished with her books and Reminisce magazines I would pass them onto my friend's mother to read. Well, I bought an Amish book along with a word search puzzle type of book to also bless my friend's mom with. I was sharing that with my friend and how I miss things like that with my mom no longer here on earth and she replied to me that her mom could also be my mom too. Now, that is a true friend isn't that. Only regret we both have is how we wanted each of our mothers to meet each other but that never happened. When my mom would be here for a visit her mom wasn't so they never met this side of heaven, but I am most assured they will meet one day in heaven and then we will all be gathered together in heaven when Jesus comes to claim His people. Be watchful and prepared so as to not miss the trump sounding and the eastern sky to part for Jesus to come and get His people. The dead in Christ will rise first and true believers in Jesus will join up to meet them. How glorious that will be how glorious that will be. Do not sleep or slumber but be forever watchful for we know not the day and time this will take place. The signs are pointing all around us that it just may be sooner than one thinks. Stay prepared and look with anticipation for the return of Jesus.

So Refreshing To Read A Book Not Riddled With Endorsements & Forward By Well Know Ministers, Thank You Jesse Duplantis For Concluding Your Book With A Prayer Of Salvation.

I was up early this morning, and I was in the word of God because something I was reading in the book by Jesse Duplantis sparked me to read Genesis chapters 1-4. I finished reading the book today because I told one of my hairdressers, they could read it once I was done with it. They had an interest in reading it when I was last in the shop getting my hair done. I have baked goods I baked in my freezer so I think I will drop off for them along with the book 4 strawberry margherita (no alcohol in them) cupcakes, maybe there are some more hidden treats I tucked away in the freezer I just may add to their little pastry plate.

I was so inspired by reading the book, "The Hidden Help The Mysterious Work Of Angels In The Bible And In My Life." I must admit, Jesse was not looking to find readers by riddling the first few pages with endorsements from this one or that one. Also, no big-name minister/preacher writing a forward recommending the book. I see it like this, why are you trying to impress someone to read your book by getting this one and that one to endorse it anyway. If God placed that book in your heart to write, then who cares about whom you are choosing to endorse your book. Is it done to sell more copies of the book. I often wonder if some of the people that endorse books actually read the book all the way through anyhow. Do they just skim through the pages enough so to then be able to write an endorsement. If I were to write a book I might just go off of the beaten path and have people that know me that you may not even know share their thoughts on the book, only if they read it all the way through. Yes, even friends and family I would kindly ask a few questions to see if the book was read. Holy Spirit is so creative I just know He would give me the right questions to ask each individual.

Why do you care anyway what others think about your book just trust in God Almighty and leave it at that. It was so refreshing the way this particular book was written. I am going to share with you the dedication page to Jesse Duplantis' daughter and the closing pages of the prayer of salvation. Maybe more preachers/ministers out there should get back to the basics. How many of you out there writing your books are placing a prayer of salvation @ the close of your book? You should be because that is how I got saved. Sitting in a food court on my lunch break reading the book by Benny Hinn, "Good Morning Holy Spirit." Tears streaming down my face as I read the prayer of salvation in his very book. That book inspired me so much I purchased another copy of it long with another book I read of his about the blood of Jesus (do not recall the title right now) and actually donated them for the public library in the city where I lived at the time. Sad thing is that I was still Catholic at the time, and no one told me I was born again or what that even meant. Then there was a day a friend's brother invited me to a Pentecostal type, non-denominational church and bit by bit found myself going there more and more and less and less to the Catholic church. This is the church I was raised up in to learn evangelism. Thank God I was journaling back then, and I am able to pull a journal to pinpoint the weekend my life changed because this back then this Catholic woman wrote about it in my journal.

May I encourage you Christian authors out there to drop the pretenses to sell a book and get back to the basics. It would be nice to see a Prayer of Salvation somewhere in your book regardless of the Christian content in the book. If Holy Spirit breathed upon the writing of your book with divine insights, then why not offer the prayer of salvation to your readers so they will be in heaven for all eternity. There I go thinking out loud again. I will not apologize for that, I will not.

I highly recommend buying this book and maybe buying two at the same time and blessing someone with the other copy you bought. I hope this is okay to share excerpts from this book because this is a beautiful example of how a well written book is presented. Also, I found not one typo in this book, now that is a miracle in itself, someone actually proofread the book before publishing it, Imagine That!

I Baked A Few Flavors Of Rugalach's.

Last night I got this idea to start baking rugalach cookies. I had a couple of recipes already, so I read through them. I used a little bit of this and that from a couple of recipes. One called for using store bought Pillsbury pie dough. Last night I tried my had at baking some with the pie dough then I used the filling of another recipe mini chocolate chips with golden raisins, chopped walnuts and some brown sugar. I think that batch was my tester one and they were a little bit darker than I like. You actually put sugar and cinnamon on the board first before placing the pie dough on top of it. I put the filling in it and rolled it up length wise and then you cut slices to bake them. 

I am not a quitter, so I continued to bake more today. I was up really early today and gathered my ingredients to make the cream cheese dough. I like to make 1/2 recipes in case I don't like it. I had 1 more premade pie crust, so I placed raspberry jam with a little bit of rhubarb jam and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips. I had. Then the sugar, brown sugar finely chopped walnuts and golden raisins. This time I cut it into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter tool and you roll them up and place on the parchment lined cookie tray. With the homemade dough I followed the same in regard to cutting them in triangles and rolling them up. The same sugar filling plus I used rhubarb jam. Then I had another homemade dough to rollout, and I wanted to make a different filling since I has some cream cheese left over in the refrigerator. This was mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, kosher fine salt and vanilla. You spread that on the dough, and I thought it needed more than that since you do not put the sugar, raisin, walnut mixture on top of this filling. So, I plumped some golden raisins by placing them in warm water to plump them up. I created the cream cheese filling then scattered golden raisins in this batch. This is not a 1 2 3 type of quick recipe. If making dough yourself, you then have to refrigerate it before working with the dough. Once you make the cookies you then place that in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking them. Oh, there is an egg wash you brush on the cookies, and I had some decorative baking sugar, so I added a little of that on them also. I did need to bake these at least 2 minutes longer than the max time listed in the recipe. So, all in all it was a good day with my kitchen smelling wonderful.

You never know who you will run into in the grocery store do you. I was talking with the manager then this man says hello to me that he is the bee man. I looked at him like I need more info. He was the beekeeper I met at Publix one day. So, I tell him how I had to go to another city to get some of his honey and they only had the large size not the smaller size. He asked me what I paid for it @ the co-op. I told him 21.00 something. He looked like he was surprised at the price and told me the next time I need more honey that his phone number is on the bottle and to call. He said his wife is out here in my area a lot and maybe I could get some from them.  Now it made sense when he said he was the bee man.

Good Christians Be Careful Of Zoom Calls, Part 2.

I finished eating breakfast on my back deck, cleaned the hummingbird feeders and filled them up with fresh nectar I made this morning. While I was doing that, I was humming out loud the song, Jesus, I Love you and then I add words like Jesus, I love you, I really do and then hum it over and over again because it is the song within my heart in the moments and I really do love Jesus. Holy Spirit reminded me of something uncanny when you think about it. A few nights ago, I had a dream, and it was sent from the enemy, and I dealt with it at the time. Did you know a witch or warlock can come to you dressed in the guise of someone else? Get real people it really does happen even in dreams. That is why it is most important to take caution when discerning a dream and never be afraid of testing the dream and discussing it with Holy Spirit, He never lets you down when you do. That should be a part of your everyday life walk with Jesus and not just relegated to dream life okay.

Remember, on the zoom call I was in my kitchen just a short distance away from where the location was in the dream. So, in the dream a prophet disguised by a witch or warlock was trying to cross the threshold into my kitchen and before they tried to advance words came forth from the prophet look alike saying stop prophesying and you will not prophesy anymore. I then commanded it in my dream to not advance into my kitchen for they were trespassing. They froze and could not cross the threshold into my kitchen and then I dealt with severing their silver cord from their body and they will never go back to their body again and I also removed any mist or residue that that impostor brought with them. How ironic is that I had the dream, I dealt with the dream last week and now I am sitting almost near the threshold to the kitchen and the glory of God enrobes me. Stay safe and be wise in the days in which we live in because it matters, it really does.

Oh, today I brewed decaf coffee flavored Raspberry Vanilla Almond from The Fresh Market their springtime collection and it was a delight to sip that outside with a little honey and some plain half&half.

Good Christian's May I Warn You To Stay Away From Zoom Calls, This Is What Happened To Me.

Have I not been telling you all along the potential danger in participating in a zoom call. Yes, I have and here is a great example of what I am talking about. I was invited to a Zoom call, and I pondered on this subject for quite some time now and said to myself maybe, just maybe it may be safer than a class per say since this was a smaller group of people on the call. During the call time I was safe and surrounded by many, many angels and what I experienced was the glory of God in my own home in my favorite place to be, where I bake sweet delights to bless others within the form of baked goods. You know, cakes, cookies, brownies etc. That place where the anointing rests upon me when I am called to bake for others to bless them. I mean it, the glory of God was in my home on that call. That is the very importance of walking closely with Holy Spirit and living a good, clean life on a regular basis. It is His protection and when you are in that glory cloud darkness cannot penetrate it. Now, afterwards is a different story and that is where the warning comes in. You think everyone is well meaning, well intentioned that is on the zoom call with you. Look at some of their expressions on their faces when a newcomer comes into the circle, they are so very comfortable being in. They can't attack you per say right then and there because when Holy Spirit says to be somewhere His anointing and protection is with you. Can they conjure up their so called, well-meaning prayers to throw at you as let's refer to them as fiery darts but not in the good connotation way that is. 

Let's go over this again because I think you are not quite getting this. If someone is not right in their heart with either you, or God, or praying to make their own agenda fulfilled and not necessarily Holy Ghost agenda being fulfilled it then becomes a Charismatic Christian word curse that is being hurled at/to your very life. I have found that my God in heaven I serve is much greater and bigger than those non-essential prayers being prayed. Of course, they will tell you in the name of Jesus. Please do not be so naive in this day and time in which we are living in okay. Mature Christians should be mature enough to not fall for that trick the enemy is using. I was strategically placed there that day to share few words in the chat section while on the call. I trust Holy Spirit and shared what He was showing me to share. Yes, I am part Jewish by birth and my family bloodline. I was at a Jewish holiday gathering last Friday night and it was outstanding standing on top of a hill and blowing the shofars in all 4 directions N S E W. I did have 2 dreams in which each dream I was shown just before waking up me, looking at me in the dream. I saw it ever so clear not just 1 but in 2 different dreams on 2 different days. It was focusing on my brown eyes looking at me in a serious type of manner. I had no glasses on in both of the dreams. I did some research on the meaning of seeing brown eyes in a dream. Do you just maybe think Holy Spirit was letting me know my sharpness or keenness is being heightened via my spiritual eyes because I had no glasses on in the dreams. No barrier per say, of wearing glasses that are supposed to correct vision in the natural world. Guess what, on that zoom call I was not wearing my glasses because I find when doing computer work, I see so much clearer when not wearing my glasses. Isn't that interesting.

I was experiencing the weightiness of the glory of God the entire evening and even through the night with the glory cloud resting on me. You know, that feeling of beauty surrounding you with incredible peace also. It was the next day something shifted. It was not on my part this is where those unbalanced, well-intentioned people think they are praying the right things, and they are actually praying against God's will and desire for my life. Don't these people have anything better to do with their lives then spending time trying to disrupt other's lives. What about reaching out to the lost and dying with the great news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Offering others, the plan of salvation. From what I understand some of these folks are in ministries, imagine that. So, during the night I had a dream and let me tell you this was a dream sent to me via the enemy, and yes, Christians can delve into this arena also so put up your spiritual antenna okay. A dream with snakes flying. The dream representing the fiery darts being thrown in my direction. God is bigger and greater than that people and it is time now that you should be seeing that in your own lives. Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. I do not like to place accusations out there but hey, this stuff is real, and people are delving into this sort of stuff and the church needs to be cleaned up and exposed and expelled of some of this witchcraft stuff going on in the church. If the church would ever get on the same page as God's timetable, we would not be in such a mess that we are in right now. Holy Spirit expose and expel this stuff now in the name of Jesus. Let the blinders and scales come off of the eyes and hearts of elect ministers that are being sweet talked and deceived mightily by others that are really coming in disguise to get their own agendas fulfilled at the expense of kindhearted, and even hurt ministers out there. Quit stealing from them and let that be exposed in a grand manner now in the name of Jesus. What I just prayed is not a selfish prayer but a prayer of deliverance because sometimes a minister cannot even see what is going on right under their nose per say when they are caught up in this massive lie of deception. People pray for the ministers out there so deception is no longer controlling their lives and ministry which could then affect their family life and their divine destiny also. The church needs big time cleaning up. This should be a time of church refreshing and renewal and not so much about cleaning up and cleaning out churches, we should be well past this by now. Only You Holy Spirit can sweep clean the church and expose falseness and deception in such a manner that it will sweep across the USA in one big sweep to get us back in line with God's timetable.

Oh, the other night I woke from a dream in which I was eating rugalach cookies. That dream was right after the ministry I attended Friday night. A start of the new Jewish calendar year filled with sweetness and fruitfulness. That dream caused me to search out my recipes to make rugalach cookies in the kitchen. Amen and sweet Amen to that.

Lesson learned, use extreme caution when joining a zoom call unless you know every single person on that call and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they do not have ulterior motives especially against your very life and they are walking very close with God in their lives.

Talking about sweetness in life. It is time that I fix some more sweet nectar for the hummingbirds to continue enjoying. You know, this time of the year they may be sensing it is time to make their journey southward for the winter months. This is when I cut back the recipe to half of what I normally make during the summer months while they reside here. I used 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water as opposed to 1/2 cup of sugar to 2 cups of water.

If You Ever Want To Be Around The Kindest, Most Sincere Group Of People, You Should Attend A Caleb Global Gathering. A Friend & I Did Last Night For Yom Teruah, It Was Stunning.

Last year was the first time I attended this gathering and was so very touched by it I just had to go again this year. I shared with a friend of mine about it and we both went. This land is so beautiful on the top of a hill where they gathered and there is much peace and presence of angels. It was beautiful again and what I love is families gather together and bring their shofars with them to blow when that is the designated time to do so. They face all 4 directions N S E W on the top of this hill and blow the shofars and trumpets if you have them. What I really like is if you do not have a shofar, you then take your hands and form like a circle by your mouth and you then become a living shofar with the noise that comes forth from you. All done in unison. Then you face each other, and now blow the shofar or you as the shofar and I said to my friend doesn't it sound like it just seems to get louder. I just wonder if that occurs with the help of angels. Then you dip an apple slice in honey and say a Jewish phrase and it is about a sweet and fruitful year that just started on the Jewish calendar. We met a young man that has been to Israel I think he said 10 times now and he had his 2 little sons bring over their shofars and then told us where he actually purchased them for them in Israel. He also encouraged us to go on a trip to Israel and suggested who we should consider going with since I told him I looked into a couple different trips, but they were like anywhere from 5,000.00 to 7,000.00 to travel with preachers I knew of.

Last year I felt led to bake an apple pie type of cheesecake to bless the ministry and this year I baked oatmeal, cinnamon chip raisin bars for them. We then went out to dinner afterward to a restaurant in Franklin, Mooyah. It was very good. I ordered my cheeseburger without a bun, and it was lettuce leaves to take the place of a hamburger bun. I was telling my friend about the cinnamon chips and cream cheese baking chips so I will go today and pick up a package of each for her to bake with. This is a dear friend that I would have never met if I did not walk through an open door presented me to move to TN with knowing not 1 single person or having family in this state. I am telling you to not be afraid to walk through God's open doors because He just may have friends as a surprise waiting for you to meet once you say yes to walking through that door. Some of these friends I met while working with them still remain in TN and another one moved out of state a few years ago. If you do not learn but 1 thing from reading my blog entries, I implore you to learn this, TRUST IN GOD. I think that is a solid theme that is the connecting ribbon throughout my blogs. Trust because God is ever faithful, He truly is. Let go of yourself and receive Jesus into your heart. He will cleanse you of all past sins, renew you and you will have a life filled with stepping out in faith because he is always faithful to walk with you, He truly is. Can you tell I flow from a grateful heart filled with the love of Jesus. I truly do and it does not even matter to me if you agree or not because I love Jesus and trust Him completely.

One more thing to add to yesterday's adventure. The night before and even the next morning I could not get my car to start. I still prepared during the day as if I was still meeting my friend that evening. On my lunch break the car started and then it did when I had to leave, stop to get gasoline on the way and park my car at my friend's house when we went to the gathering. Then it also started when I had to drive back home. When God via Holy Spirit sends you on a journey, He sure does supply doesn't He. See, there was a special blessing waiting for us at that very gathering.

This is what I have been sharing about. Now go find some and start baking to bless others okay. You will find the recipe for the red velvet cookies on the back of the package of the cream cheese baking chips.

Sometimes You Pray For Many Hours In Tongues & Interpretation From Holy Spirit It Was Something Short In English Words He Shares What You Prayed About.

I have this song rumbling inside of me by the Katinas. I love the musical beat to the song even though I have no clue of the words sung by them in the song mean. Last week it was the song I put in repeat mode, and it played over and over again. I even felt inspired to play it on lowest volume throughout the entire night. When I listen to it, I then begin to sing in tongues because I have no clue what language they are singing words to so that is how it works with me.

So, the melody is now inside of me and at times I begin to sing in tongues to the song melody inside of me. That is the melody I woke from playing inside of me and still is as I am writing this now. The difference being I sing in tongues to the melody playing inside of me. That always seems to amaze me when Holy Spirit uses music like that in my life. There must be some importance on this very song even though I do not know what the words of the song actually mean in English. I have a concern on my heart right now and I think to myself I was surely praying for that, so I ask Holy Spirit for the interpretation early this morning. Thinking He will give me some sort of guidance of what to do in regard to the concern I have.

Well, all those hours in singing in tongues and He reveals to me a simple translation. I did not even pray for myself, but I prayed the entire time for another's need. Someone is having a hard time with today being a significant day memory wise that is. I prayed for them today because I was never in that situation, so I do not know what it is like to love someone so dearly to miss them so much (excluding siblings or parents.) That is what I prayed for apparently as Holy Spirit shared the interpretation. I commented to Holy Spirit how nice it must be to have someone that loves you so much and then to deal with the being gone from your life. I asked Holy Spirit to bring someone into my life that would love me like that, and I would then love back like that to know that kind of true love.

When you pray what is on the heart/mind of God our Father, He surely does take care of you. Lesson taught, in the midst of the busyness in your life yield to Holy Spirit for that is the safest place to be. As you lift up prayers in the Holy Ghost heavenly language, He will have others praying on your behalf when you least expect it but truly need it. God is good all the time and He is most faithful also. Take the time today to reach out to someone with the kindness of God living inside of you. I baked the other day a new recipe. It I think is so good I broke my staying away from sugar to try this one. First of all, Cinnamon flavored baking chips by Hershey's a good little something sweet to try by themselves. Then I tried the cookie bar batter and that was yummy, and the best part was when the bar cookies were done, I did try them. I would highly recommend this recipe that can be made in cookie or bar form. I gave a couple to a neighbor; made up a container and attached the recipe with decorative ribbon to give away and have a few in a sandwich bag to give to a friend of mine, I froze the rest so I would not be tempted to snack on them and will be used when I put together a thank you gift future tense that is.

The recipe if you search for it is Hershey's recipe Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Raisin Cookies (Bars)

I Am Not Afraid To Admit When I Am Wrong, How About You.

Well, a few blog posts ago I mentioned a song sung and how I thought the worship team were singing the wrong words. Well, I heard the song yesterday. Here is the correct song, and yes, they were singing it the right way. Needless to say, if I recall correctly, I was singing come baptize me come baptize me while they were singing come baptize us, come baptize us.

One more thing if I may share. I become frustrated when I see things not so kosher going on in the church community and I may at times call out ministers as to why they are doing this or that. I repent of that and have to remember that God will take care of that and handle it.

Went On A Wonderful Holy Spirit Adventure Yesterday, 9/9/2023

Yesterday I was on a Holy Spirit adventure. I found myself going to Cowan, TN to an outlet grocery store where they sell Amish products also. I am in search of items to make a thank you host gift basket for a ministry. I found buckeye candies, Amish individual serving sizes of fudge, sour jelly pumpkins, small box of Harry & David's Moose Munch popcorn, cinnamon puffs, butter mints, also snack size of Diamond brand almonds: whole natural, salt n vinegar & wasabi & soy sauce. I already purchased containers, plates, napkins and items to decorate the package when I put it together. I am still feeling I should bake something also. Maybe Oreo brownies and red velvet cookies? What do you think. I do this out of a grateful heart to extend kindness to those that have extended kindness to me also. It is my great pleasure to thank someone that is bringing a great ministry opportunity to the region I reside in. A grateful heart just can't help extending a grateful heart back, does that make sense. Oh, I also have some Twinings pure peppermint herbal tea packets.

I then want to explore a bit more of this quaint city so down the road is a local farm stand. I pull over to see what they had to offer. Oh my gosh I could not get over the beautiful vegetables they grow and the price point. I purchased 1 ear of corn, 1cucumber, 1 large tomato and 1 red onion all for only 3.00. I told them a little about me and even though I was a city girl raised I tend to find country type of settings for places to reside. I asked if it was okay to give them a 1.00 tip and they accepted it. I also shared how they were underselling the vegetables, but they responded they like sharing the fruit of their labor with the folks and that is why they keep the prices low. I inquired of a restaurant in the area for lunch and they told me they sell their vegetables to both Mexican restaurants in town. Are you seeing the connect the dots yet to this adventure? They also shared how there was a beautiful university in the area, and I should go and see it. The man shared how his grandmother had land and gave it years ago to the University of the South. I now need to decide which restaurant and I see people coming out of the one across from the railroad museum and I asked which Mexican restaurant they would recommend; they said that one was they found to be the most consistent of the 2 in town. That is where I went. When not sure about things like that ask locals. I get seated and order and then a larger party of 6 are seated nearby. For some reason Holy Spirit is highlighting to me the word BEAUTIFUL in reference to the children seated with them. I even tell them the children are beautiful. Here comes the next step in this journey. As I am enjoying my lunch Holy Spirit speaks to me to ask if it is okay to bless the 2 children with the last crisp, new 2.00 bills I had in my wallet. When my meal was done and I was presented with the check I then got up and said excuse me, may I share something with you. They listened when I shared how my mother used to always give 2.00 bills to my children and sometimes us too. I said she died in January and Holy Spirit was showing me to bless the 2 children that are beautiful with one for each of them. They accepted them and I said I think Holy Spirit is going to do something wonderful in their lives. Oh my gosh, my mother is still living on today with simple acts of kindness she planted in us with kind acts shared with others. Thanks Mom.

Next stop, in search of the Sewanee: The University of the South. I found it and such a beautiful campus filled with stone architecture buildings. I drove through and then was heading back home. There are some places I stopped at along the way but be careful and not deceived by the name of a business okay. I see a small cabin type of structure that has Hallelujah Pottery on the sign. I enter the store and I am seeing things like dream catchers, etc. but am thinking to myself the sign says hallelujah? I inquired in a tasteful manner as it if it was a Christian store since I saw dream catchers, etc. I was told the place has been there for maybe 50 years and the name on the sign, but it was a little bit of everything. I graciously left the establishment. Next stop that intrigued me I think it was called Hippie Amish or something like that. They said they sell Amish soap but that was about it. The hippie title seemed to fit it but hey, clever attention getter in their name do you agree.

Heading home I felt led to stop at Cracker Barrel and that is where I found the sour pumpkin candies. Time like this is when I miss working Cracker Barrel in the gift shop as a small side job along with my fulltime job. The 35% employee discount. I then got home and made some dinner and watched the Jon Voight's "Land of Israel" premiere on Newsmax, it is a beautiful show, I wonder if it will be shown in series or episode format. Simply beautiful ending to a beautiful yet full day.

This was the stained glass inside the restaurant. I think it depicts the train museum across the street.

Found another praise instrument @ Cracker Barrel to add to my praise instrument collection.
