3 Bottled Waters, 1 Bag Of Ice To Cool The Water, 3-1 Ounce Sized Bags Of Chips =

Yep, that is correct. This little combination of blessing 3 people working hard in the heat trimming trees ended up as the end result of a blessing tucked inside of the day for me yesterday, 6/29/2024. I noticed the neighborhood behind me was having their trees trimmed the other day. They were down further from my dwelling, so I had this thought that day but did nothing about it. The next day I see them a lot closer to my home and I had nothing to lose by asking a simple question. How much would you charge me to cut down 2 tree branches (these 2 branches kind of block my view when watching the sky divers as they are released to enjoy sky diving.) They had to ask the female boss, possibly owner. She came over and asked me to show her the 2 branches I wanted to be cut down. I pointed them out to her, and I was so surprised and elated when she said no charge. In the beginning conversation I offered to get them some bottled water, but it was not ice cold from the refrigerator and they said they would still appreciate the water. I then gathered the water and placed it in a bag with ice so it could cool the water. I then got this idea to get 3 bags of potato chips to also give to them.

Let's back this up a little bit in time okay. Months ago, I paid a person to cut 4 branches from that very tree and they were branches hanging over into the neighbor's yard. I would have paid a little bit more if they would be able to cut down another branch. At the time they said their ladder could not reach with them on the ladder and their cutting tool. So, my blessing back then possibly blessed another person. Just imagine that. A simple kindness and also wanting the tree trimmed a few months ago ended up coming back around to me because that very branch was then cut down for no charge. God is good and He is always faithful.

Very Insightful Video Addressing Biblical Justice & Restoration by Steve Cioccolanti & Discover Ministries

I viewed this video earlier today, 6/30/2024 and it makes sound, biblical sense. To those that have an ear to hear, let them hear.

Here We Go Again With Another Updated Video. When Will The Church Clean Up & Walk Straight With Jesus.

Here is an updated video from Torn Curtain Ministry with Joshua Simone. I am most thankful for the people willing to share with us. How many of you out there if you were being truthful with yourself are having random thoughts if you were or are sensing leaders you trusted if there is something they are holding back on and not coming clean and not confessing sin. In some cases, they may have repented to God but what about confessing to the people and asking forgiveness from those that trusted you. Just be strong and confess and ask forgiveness from those that lifted you up in prayer and donated to your very ministry. Do you not feel compelled to come forward so healing, cleansing and restoration to peace within you can take place. Uh oh, there I go thinking out loud again.

Sometimes you may be around someone in which you want to trust them in a mighty way but there seems to be something inside of you wondering if they are holding secrets back from you. Follow the offerings you have given or are giving to see if the fruit is true in the spiritual soil, you are planting into. If you are not seeing fruit from these offerings planted, then seek Holy Spirit direction to see if maybe you are to place offerings in another arena within the ministry or possibly stop all together and Holy Spirit will show you fertile ground to sow your financial seeds into.

There are times in my life when I have experienced that very thing I am sharing with you. There are also other times in which I find if I keep conversing with or going places with even friends of yours and you feel a little depleted or your conversations seem to be one trying to outdo or feel superior to you then do a check. A good indicator to see if you were sensing correctly is to pull back from them and I can almost guarantee in those times you tend to grow spiritually. Test it out and see. If Holy Spirit is showing you someone in your life right now, then pull back from them and their influence in your life and you will see how you will grow and advance. There is a part of us that feels sorry for people and our heart wants to reach out to them again and sure enough, there goes the backward growth you were experiencing. Until you learn to discern this in your very life you will vacillate back and forth until you get it. Once you get it, you then realize this with others in your life future tense and hopefully you will not fall for it again or if you do, you will not let it linger as long in your life. True life experiences tend to stay within us, and no sooner do we see it again but with different faces and characters something inside of you wells up and you decide you are not going down that path again and you choose to distance yourself because the call on your life is so much more important than being a people pleaser. Trust and obey because that truly is the way when you follow Jesus and the word of God in the bible. Please use wisdom and don't be hoodwinked.

Robert Morris Latest News on Allegations & Scandal at Gateway Church

https://youtu.be/vk5QqPqPJUo?t=6

I Highly Recommend James W. Goll's Latest Book, "The Triumph Your Comprehensive Guide To Spiritual Warfare." I Thought About It & I Am Going To Share With You What Happened To Me In The Reading The Final Pages Of This Book.

This is an amazing testimony to share with you. I recently finished reading this book by James W. Goll literally last weekend. To be exact it was Saturday, 6/22/2024 @ 4:12AM.

There were sections of this book in which I found myself crying when reading the chapter about the power in the blood of Jesus that He shed that blood for us, and His blood speaks. It made it very real as I was reading it, and I really was crying just to imagine what Jesus went through for you and me. Then I found myself reading another chapter 2 times at 2 different times. The names of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. I placed an * by many of the names and when I went back to read it again, I found myself adding more *'s in front of other names that spoke to my heart. This name must have really spoken to me because I placed *** before it so let me share it with you. "121. Day Star (2Peter 1:19 kjv), Prophecies from God should be taken as a light that shines in the darkness--as a day star rises in your heart." Isn't that beautiful.

I had an experience once while at a cemetery as I stood there, I heard the words literally like screaming to me as they were coming from that grave "JUSTICE JUSTICE JUSTICE." I was on the phone at the time with a friend of mine as I am explaining what I was hearing, and I began to cry. So, I am reading the chapter in the book on Tuesday, 6/18/2024 and I get a Holy Spirit epiphany. Oh my gosh, what happened to me then was biblical because I am now reading before me these words in the book "the voice of your brother's blood is crying out to Me from the ground." What was Abel's blood saying? Abel's innocent blood was crying out for vengeance." Then a little bit more in reading and I underline this, "Perhaps Abel's blood was shouting, Vengeance! I want vengeance."

Amazing, and if that wasn't enough, I have words spoken to my heart just after reading page 273 in which the author states "Take a few moments right now to ask God for wisdom as you confront the enemy in spiritual warfare." I did as suggested and these are the words Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I wrote them right in the book @ 3:50AM on 6/22/2024

"Keep going forward my daughter-stand firm like flint & do not bend in this for mighty help is on the way & truth will expose deception rightfully so. I am not a God to be mocked & when my vengeance is released in its fullness there will be no sin left to penetrate the church & mock it. I am seeing a tidal wave coming towards the land as an example of the mighty cleansing of the church-a tidal wave comes with force & huge amounts of water as it approaches the beach/land & it is in this the cleansing healing power to remove sin & corruption & it also brings a refreshing with it when all is said & done."

Now wait, there is a little bit more to my reading experience with this very book. I turn the page I then underline a few more things "He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion. He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes. He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth." Then I then get my confirmation of what that brief image shown to me of a tidal wave was just confirmed that I heard from God with this: "For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the Lord." AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING. You will never convince me that God does not still speak to His people, for surely, he does. All I needed to see was the words flood tide and I knew within me the words spoken to my heart as a representative of meaning tidal wave. How cool is that. Now, please let me clarify that I by no means am saying an actual in the natural tidal wave is coming in the natural. He just showed me the brief image in motion as I was receiving the words.

This is kind of funny too but not a coincidence. At the very beginning of the Spring season, I begin to look for beach wear type of clothing because colors are so vibrant and so much like my personality and clothes I tend to wear. I found a sun dress and it literally sat in my closet with the tags on and that was about it. Well, this opportunity comes to go to a gathering where the author of this book will be there. I am going to show you the colors of this dress and then the cover of the book. I think God had a plan all along for me to read this very book and it was truly in His timing that I did. See, I had the choice to drive a distance to go to this gathering or not and I chose to follow Holy Spirit and go. I even asked a friend if they wanted to go with me and they said no but I have been to many adventures with Holy Spirit before and it was me going solo and this was just another one of those types of adventures with Holy Spirit. I could have missed divine connections that very night with people I needed to see and converse with, and I had no idea they were going to be there let alone I was going to have conversations with. There was 1 more person I was going to seek out to speak with but both times I attempted to speak with them they were ministering to others. I even searched the room 1 last time just before I left to go home and could not find them. I guess it was not God's timing for that conversation to take place.

Uncanny, absolutely not, but God's exact timing.

I'd say it is a pretty good match, what do you think?

Oh, one disclaimer, I cannot promise you that God will give you a similar experience when reading this book but hey, why not take a chance and get the book and read it. You will be glad you did.

Here Is The Birthday Card I Just Created. Love, Love, Love Anna Griffin Card Making Kits.

Yesterday I mentioned how I was going to create a birthday card for 1 of my neighbors. Here it is completed thanks to Anna Griffin and her creative card making kits. She supplies all the tools for you to create and you get the fun of being creative in the creation of the card. I trust my neighbor will like this card. What is an added touch is on the back of the card there is a section where you can add your name under the scrolled section sharing HANDMADE BY.

May I encourage you this day to create a gift for someone else and bless them. It is fun being blessed by others but far more greater when you have the opportunity to bless others than yourself. Doing good acts of kindness is so under rated today and it truly should be the reverse where goodness, and kindness should be more pronounced in the lives of others and just maybe we wouldn't see these messy things going on in the world and the church world as well. Less give me more, more, more and more of sharing the love and kindness of Christ with others. Oh, did I also mention that kindness begins in your own home and then the overspill into your neighborhood, region, state and country and well beyond the walls of your country into the nations. It all starts with 1 act of kindness and then watch it catch on. I always say I am blessed to be a blessing to bless others. I would think kindness fits under the category of blessed do you agree.

Here We Go Again. Another 2 Eye-Opening Videos, This Time Dealing With NAR's. People, You Better Open Up Your Eyes & Seek Holy Spirit Wisdom.

Oh, my goodness, I just cannot believe what is going on in the church world today. Quite frankly I NEVER understood that 7 Mountain Mandate mumbo jumbo is what it sounded like to me when I 1st heard it. When I 1st heard about it and now. For some reason it just never bore witness with my spirit, and I did not listen much to that concept. Where oh where is it in the bible stating these 7 mountain mandates. Maybe it is for you, but it never has been for me, I just never really understood this concept. People are gullible today and really need to pick and choose wisely if they are going to listen to people that will tickle their ears or the word of God. The choice is yours to choose for your life and you will 1 day be held accountable to God Almighty for choices you made in your very life and if you either led people towards Jesus or pushed Him away because of not so good theology you are teaching people.

So, this video is addressing the NAR's group. Very eye opening and how in the heck did I stumble upon this video. It is through the grace of God, and they do say when a student is ready a teacher does appear so I must be ready to hear these things now and not follow those that seem to tickle the ears of trusting believers. Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.

Since I found the 1st video, I then viewed another video today. This one is a video with Richard Moore interviewing Holly Pivec and that one took place around 3 years ago. Why oh why is everyone all a buzz with this NAR's stuff. Another club for the elite to join or be invited into created by man. Here we go again ... what can we expect next from man created rules, clubs, etc. Please use wisdom, that is all I ask for you to discern and seek Holy Spirit for wisdom and most definitely line it up with what the bible says and not what man says.

I then went into town today to deliver an heirloom cherry tomato plant I started growing in my Aero Garden. Over the weekend I saw the young woman that sold the Aero Garden to me months ago. When I go into the store, I would tell her updates how things were growing in it. I shared with her I was going to bring one of the heirloom cherry tomato plants I grew inside then transplanted it outside in a container made for growing tomatoes. I gave her a gift of a living, growing vegetable plant for her to enjoy the fruits that will come forth from a simple pod type of plant you place in the Aero Garden. I then went and purchased the chalice shaped type of daily communions for home. I had to stop in Cracker Barrel to exchange a tomato shaped pepper shaker because when I filled it up with black pepper the stopper fell inside of it, and I could not retrieve it, so they exchanged it for me. I also picked up a few items as a little birthday gift for a neighbor of mine. Oh, I also stopped at a local farm type co-op to purchase more bird seed for the birds in my area. I had to put up a Japanese beetle trap and so far, it is attracting the beetles as it so does.

I plan on making the recipe for shortcut carrot cake but make them into cupcakes and frost them with a buttercream/cream cheese frosting to take to a luncheon next week so I thought I would also set some aside for my neighbor in celebration of her birthday. I received in the mail the other day an Anna Griffin card making set and I just may make a card for her also. You know how creativity just bursts forth from me at times. So sorry to have to share this eye-opening type of videos with you but if they are being highlighted to me via Holy Spirit then I would think others may want to know of this stuff also. Seek Holy Spirit as to watching the videos and ask Him to speak to your heart also while watching and even afterwards. He is faithful, He truly is Amen.

The New Apostolic Reformation's Threat to Evangelicalism

CHURHCepreneurs: The New Apostolic Reformation with Holly Pivec

President Trump, As Holy Spirit Had Me Write 1 Day Before My Father's Birthday, He Gives Me Scripture For You 1 Day Before Your Birthday. Here It Is. Happy, Happy Early Birthday To You Dear Sir.

I usually write about someone's birthday on their birthday but not so this year for my father's birthday. I found it a bit odd to write about it the day before his actual birthday which would have been today, 6/13/2024. See, Holy Spirit operates in a different mindset then you and me. I suppose what I did yesterday was a prophetic act of some sort for today. Follow the pattern ... I write 1 day early for my father and then scripture is given to me 1 day early of President Trump's birthday. Dear Sir, I do believe things are going to be looking up for you as you seek the word of God okay. So, this is what happened today early morning that is.

I received an email yesterday in regard to a class that will be taught in reference to a portion of my family heritage oddly enough, on the weekend of my birthday this year. But not on my birthday since it falls on a Sunday. Are you seeing the pattern here like I am seeing it. It seems to be a pattern of celebration leading up to your birthday is what I am seeing. So, I had a dream early this morning that was showing me I was at a conference and in the dream, I heard the words KINGS WAY, and it was around the corner. That is the first indicator to attend this conference. So, if you know me at all you know I like to seek Holy Spirit for scripture confirmation. I open my bible to Isaiah 44: 21. I read it then go back to the top of the page and read that also. I then read on about Cyrus and Holy Spirit highlights to read the following scripture all of Isaiah 45 and is highlighting for me about President Trump and I then finally get the connector, chapter 45 and he was our 45th president of the USA. So, that is your birthday scripture gift to you from Holy Spirit.

I will purchase the ticket today on my father's birthday as a gift to me for my birthday. Oh, there is 1 more thing. So, I had the dream and dozed off a little bit and for whatever reason I wake with this song playing inside of me. A song my mother used to enjoy during the Christmas season by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, "Mele Kalikimaka." This is the same album cover she had also when she played this record.

See, I knew not to sign up for the big conference coming to Nashville in October for their outrageous ticket pricing they were offering because there was a more pertinent class for me to take with a ticket price way under 50.00. I think I may plan to stay somewhere in the quaint little town one of the nights also. Got to go now so I can get my ticket and then start searching for 1 nights lodging also. Isn't it fascinating how Holy Spirit works, I think it is. Happy Birthday Dad and Happy Early Birthday President Trump.

We Would Have Celebrated Our Father's 95th Birthday Tomorrow If He Were Still Alive, 6/13/2024.

My friend that stayed with me last weekend commented on my father's eyes in a pastel portrait I have of him when I showed it to her. Well guess what I have my father's eyes. Mine appear to be a deeper brown color than what is portrayed in his portrait. I also inherited the dimple he has in his chin and my son has that same trait with his being even more pronounced than mine. Isn't it interesting the different traits we inherit from our parents. That fascinates me of the creative power God has when He creates His children in the families, they are born into. Being born is truly a miracle and you should never forget that okay. Does anyone remember the actor, Tony Curtis? I think this portrait reminds me of him. My mother would have also turned 95 years old this coming August if she was still alive also.

There is not much to say this year because both of my parents are in heaven, and I can only imagine them having a much grander time there than any ole birthday party celebration here on earth. Do you agree. You know what I just did? I went through all of my blog titles I wrote throughout the years since 2009. Today, I went to Aldi's to look at a camping portable table. For heaven's sake, not for me to go camping but for my backyard when I am outside. I purchased it for only 14.99. It is made of that canvas type of material that outside camp chairs are made of. Too bad they didn't have them last week as one of their featured items because it would have been so nice to have had it in the yard when my friend and I sat in the sun for a bit and just talked.

I will show you a picture of it because it even comes with a carrying case if you decide to fold it up. It has two sections to it and would probably be nice to have if you have younger children or grandchildren since it has 4 drink cup holders. I called my friend to tell her about it because it would be just the right size for her grandkids to sit at and play a board game or even work on a small puzzle do you agree.

Oh, the other day when in the office I asked permission if I could call a meeting just to see how everyone is doing. I was granted permission then went to each person on our team to see if they wanted to meet @ a certain time to just see how everyone is doing. We all showed up and I asked if they wanted to do a potluck type of lunch and maybe do one quarterly. We decided on ordering from Jim & Nick's BBQ, and we set a date. You know I used to be an event planner years ago and I like organizing but my forte is not doing group emails with the details, so another teammate stepped to the plate for that, and I think another got pricing to order from this restaurant. I will probably bake something and another person on our team said they may bake also. I wonder if I should bring in something like sliced tomatoes and onions or pickles also? I can adapt this menu to how I am eating now so biscuits are out, but I can still bring in some pumpernickel bread to make half of a sandwich and I can make myself some vinegar/oil coleslaw and then bring in a protein bar for me to take the place of dessert, even though I will try to still bake something. It makes me happy when people gather to just see how everyone is doing and sharing a meal together. Oddly enough, food for some reason brings people together. I don't know the answer to why that is, but I do know people don't really like to be isolated, but I think would prefer to converse with others. Do you agree.

Here Is A Group Picture Of Friends Gathering A Few Days Ago. Much Fun We Had Remembering Good Times When Working Together.

So sorry the photo is so small in size. What I normally do to enlarge the picture when I select anymore just doesn't do that. Oh well, here we are after our about 3-hour lunch gathering. If I never would have chosen to walk through the Holy Spirit opened door to move here, I would have never met these friends of mine. May I encourage you to walk through open doors the Holy Spirit opens for you because there are delightful experiences for you to walk in. Only catch in all of this ... you have to know when the door is being open and then choose to walk through that door okay. 

Gee, No Sooner Did I Publish The Prior Blog, I Then Viewed This Eye-Opening Video. Much Wisdom.

Oh, my goodness, I just posted a blog and sure enough I then viewed this video. Please watch if you would like further wisdom. "A WORD TO THE PROPHETS" from Wanda Alger Ministry.

 

A WORD TO THE PROPHETS

2 Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Videos I Highly Recommend Viewing.

Yesterday, 6/8/2024 was an early day for me. I was up around 5:00AM and had a busy morning. All done prior to me going out to a local farmers market round 10:30AM. My friend was on the road heading back home by 7:00AM. In my kitchen @ the kitchen table ministry took place. Literal ministry with anointing our heads with anointing oil. I brought out my bottle of hyssop anointing oil to anoint and pray for my friend. At a point I bumped over the bottle, and it spilled out onto the table, and I said let's just take our hand and scoop it up and we each just placed the oil onto our foreheads.

Through ministry sharing I felt led for us to each pray out loud, not shouting or raising voices I mean, not inward silent type of praying in tongues. At a point we stopped as Holy Spirit led and I shared how she was to write down the interpretation of what she just prayed. She shared she never knew you could ask for the interpretation, so I shared a little to step aside and let Holy Spirit speak through her. I said just write down what she is hearing Holy Spirit speak. She wrote it down then shared the words with me. They were words for her and her family.

I then shared the interpretation I was given since mine was a word not just for my life. He spoke through me to stand like flint and do not budge when standing and speaking a word forth. Don't look at their facial expressions to cause you to not speak the words. Stand firm and speak forth what Holy Spirit is speaking through you be it a popular or unpopular word for those to hear. During our visit for some reason, I shared the Old Testament story of the old prophet lying to the younger prophet, and it cost the younger prophet's life taken by a lion. Disobedience to the word of the Lord's directions given to him cost him his life. I often wonder what ever became of the old prophet that lied, he lied, and it states it like that in my bible translation.

So, before I go to the farm market, I was determined to try making a homemade pie crust again to try and learn to make pie crust dough since it is something I can work on. I had a few of the ingredients still left from making the ricotta squash type pizza and wanted to make it again to take with me today to a neighbor's tea gathering in which we get together once a month with the ladies in the neighborhood. I ran to Publix to purchase more Crisco and ricotta cheese. I also saw in clearance a matzo ball mix and I picked that up too. I make a great homemade chicken soup and I could then make matzo balls instead of making noodles the next time I make chicken soup. I already had laundry in the washer machine and then into the dryer. I made the pie crust and rolled it out on parchment paper and placed it on the cookie sheet then into the refrigerator covered with waxed paper ready for me to assemble the ricotta pizza today and bake it and take with me. Oh, I was going to work on a creative project (meaning to try and make pie dough again) so of course, I played the "Never Alone" CD by James Goll as I was in the kitchen trying to create.

I put the freshly laundered items away and made the beds again with the freshly laundered linens all done before I ever left the house to go to the farmer's market. I purchased a few smaller sized yellow squashes in case I needed them for the recipe and discovered a table where the woman makes her own creative post it notes pad holder with a pen also. They were only 2.50 each so I bought 4 to keep on hand if I needed little gifts to give to someone. I also saw the woman from Owl Hollow Leather Co. and shared how the purple-colored suede leather earrings I bought from her last time matched perfect with the outfit I bought them for.

I am back at home and already ran the vacuum on the floors and was going to sit on the back porch with the birdbath fountain flowing. The noise is so peaceful when I turn the fountain on outside. I had a busy day so far and asked Holy Spirit to speak to me through my bible. I literally opened up my bible and right before my very eyes was 1 Kings: 13. I called my friend while she was driving and almost home by now and shared about the conversation we had about this very scripture. See, when you tuck the word of God in your heart it will come forth when needed. I confirmed with her how I mentioned it was a lion that killed the prophet right. She said yes, I did. I was just going to leave it @ stating the scripture where it is in the bible then I said would you like me to read it to you while you are driving and that is what I did. Amazing, of all the verses in the bible that I opened it up to the very story I shared over the visit. People, for Holy Spirit to zone in on this very scripture 2 times within maybe a day or so I do believe He is speaking caution to us.

Do not let your ears be tickled by tickling/flowery words they may be speaking into your ears because they are using those flowery/flattering words to dissuade you and keep you from doing all that God has planned for your very life. They are tickling the ears so slyly so then they can fulfill their very plans through letting you think what you are doing is the plan for your life but in actuality it is to fulfill what they want to do in their life. This is a sneaky/deceiving one and you better nip this in the bud or you just may find out your life and ministry could be or become compromised. Your first allegiance is to God Almighty not to flattery words being spoken into your life. Uh oh, there I go thinking out loud again. I then also sat on the porch and read a couple of chapters in the book "Triumph" or something like that as the book title.

I discovered the Joshua Simone video last night and then viewed a portion of it again this morning.  I viewed a recent video from Jennifer LeClaire's ministry also this morning. May you be blessed by them both. I wrote down some words of wisdom Jennifer shared in her video, "Bring this person to repentance or expose the evidence." Another piece of the puzzle given to me in praying the prayer that has now been tweaked to zone in on what I have been praying and fasting for all along, but these very words make it a more precise prayer to pray in faith now. I told you God is good all of the time. It was Holy Spirit timing to now give me a more exact prayer to pray. Let's see what happens. I prayed it today and spoke names to fit into this very prayer prayed. Amen & Amen.

Exposing Church Sex Scandals | Judgment in the House of God

It wasn't Moses she refers to, but it was Noah.

Yep, God Definitely Knew What He Was Doing To Open A Door For Me To Move To The Current State In Which I Reside In. I Knew No One In This State & Today Will Gather With Dear Friends We All Met While Working There. Imagine That!!!

I am having so much fun being a hostess to one of my friends that travelled from Knoxville to be with us as we gather for lunch today @ O' Charley's in the quaint little city, we all worked in together over around 8 years ago. So much fun. I am going to share with you a recipe I made last night as an appetizer. I used to make this when everyone was eating pizza with a crust made with yeast dough and I was not eating yeast products then. It is so so so good. Think of the crust as pie dough and I actually made my own single crust pie dough for this. Then the sauce portion is a combo of ricotta cheese blended with lemon juice, garlic, parmesan and mozzarella cheese and seasoning. Then you slice thinly zucchini and yellow squash and that is layered on top and bake it in the oven. Try this recipe it is that good. I made meat sauce with grass-fed beef and added sauteed onions, garlic and mushrooms to a jar of Bertolli organic Marinara sauce and I still had some homemade pasta in the freezer from when I went to the international market last time in Atlanta. I also made homemade meatballs from the grass-fed beef for the sauce. When I make meatballs, I use a large sized cookie scoop to form them and cook them in the air fryer to pull all the fat from them. I also made a salad too. I have a lovely back porch and I usually sit on it for breakfast, but we ate dinner out there last night. It is so delightful sitting out there while the birds are still chirping. I think I must be a people type of person because I do enjoy having guests stay with me. I adapt to a quiet life when they leave because I have been solo for well over 26 years now. Not including the years my children were growing up. But to give you some idea, one is in their mid 30's and the other will be turning in their 40's in another year so you figure out the math of how long I have been living solo. Nope, I live with Holy Spirit and Jesus in my heart and God's kiss of blessing on my life. What in the world was I thinking saying I live solo!

Back to my lunch gathering story now. So, we all applied for a seasonal position with a government agency, and we all were hired together. That is how we met being in training classes for many weeks before we were released to go on the phones and help the people that called in. It was a very micromanaged job that was seasonal. Meaning we were hired to get through the main working months of the year and then we would be furloughed but with knowing you would be called back the next year. We all qualified for unemployment when being furloughed. It happened to be that first year after all those weeks in training we were not on the phones very long because we were all called into a meeting to be told there was a budget cut and it never happened before with them laying us off as early as they did. Some of us came back the next year and some went on to get other jobs and didn't come back when they gave the phone call to report back to the office for the next season. Some actually moved up the ranks in the agency and then retired. I no longer work for that agency and have not for several years now. It was a true testimony to get hired to work there and then eventually meet my friends. I interviewed for that particular same job but back in Ohio 4 years prior. I must have been in the system somehow because I remember getting a call when I lived back in Ohio, and they told me I was next on the list back then to be hired but they had a budget cut, so I never really did work for them.

All of my paperwork was in order and in the system at the time back in Ohio and I completed the group interview and customer service testing. I was told that I scored so high on the customer service test that there was no expiration date for the test results for me. So, everyone else came to the office location and interviewed and took the customer service test also and had pictures taken for their badges. I arrived at the office and started talking with other recent hires and they shared how they had their interviews, etc. So, it comes time to get your badges and I tell someone I never was called for my picture to be taken yet for the badge. Guess what, the picture on my badge was from the picture I took in Ohio 4 years prior. See, God had a plan for me to move miraculously to this state because of the people I would be meeting not because I knew no one that lived in this state. Yes, take the opportunity Holy Spirit opens up for you with a huge door opened up for you to choose to walk through. When we were asked to share briefly about ourselves in the beginning, I shared how I was miraculously brought there to work.

In our group we were all kind when people called in and we were on the phone with them. We were trained well and let me tell you this was a truly detailed job. Even to the point of how you answered certain questions they may have and getting phone call reviews in which you were rated on a variety of things. It was good training, but you know me and my proofreading right. We would be in the classroom and for some reason I would point out typo errors on the slide. Oh, my goodness, oh my goodness. Not me, but I recently found out that one of us is working on a book and actually hired an editor, but we do not quite know what the book is about. Will find out more today I suppose. See, being retired and older in age should not deter you from doing what God has placed on your heart to do. I volunteered to proofread the book for typos for no payment, but they already had someone working on that aspect and hired an editor too.

I am here to encourage you to take the opportunity God gives to you to go where He wants you to go. He is faithful. There is still a book inside of me but mine won't be written or published until I get married. My story will be combined with my husband's story of how God miraculously brought us together because yes, God can be a matchmaker, He really can. See, I have all my prophetic dream journals and I suppose that if I go through them excerpts of them will be incorporated into the book. I am a prolific writer I would like to believe, and you have experienced some of this through the prophetic dreams and adventures Holy Spirit takes me on. So, I wait with anticipation when the joining or the union takes place and one day I will share with you all that I am getting married. Great works of God takes great works of faith so never ever give up hope okay. If He gave you the dream so big then contend for that dream being fulfilled because it was not you but God Almighty that placed that dream inside of you and enjoy the adventure on the way.

Oh, this is important to share. When you may be dealing with vertigo that is dizziness. I have found out that one of the reasons could be you are not taking in enough water daily so increase your water intake and that may help. Another important thing is I recalled Bob Jones teaching one on a video I viewed where he talked about dizziness is connected to witchcraft so be very careful whom you allow to place their hands upon you and pray for you. Yes, witchcraft they are finding out is infiltrating the church. Having a great resume does not always qualify you to bring someone into your ministry or church staff because you just may find yourself connecting yourself with a spirit that will begin to manifest so very slyly and when you open your eyes to the fact this subtly happened over some time the damage has been in operation already. As tough as it may sound, go through your ministry staff and fire or let go of the ones operating in this witchcraft spirit and your ministry will rebound and be fine again. Vertigo is real and it is just as real that Christians operating in the spirit of witchcraft are praying nasty things like this on godly people. See, this one is sly. They gently worm their way into the ministry, but their ultimate goal is for the main minister to be swayed to having their own agenda fulfilled under the guise of the ministry. Be very careful whom you hire and whom you choose to have speaking into your ears. Yes, even pastors out there will deceive other ministers for you to take their side on a situation. God sees all this going on and a person can be vindicated from bad lies being told on them. Yes, even when one has gone to the grave already God in a mighty way can vindicate them and clear their name to be buried with dignity and honor. God watches out for His own children.

For whatever reason that portion was added to this blog entry today on 6/7/2024. Gotta go get the decaf coffee brewing and prepare breakfast now.

Valuable Video To View, Part 1 So Far By Torn Curtain Ministry Joshua Simone. Highly Recommend Viewing It. Very Timely Message, Very Timely.

Oh my, I missed this video by 2 days since it was posted. Yes, witchcraft is pronounced and even so in the church. Church grow up, clean up your act so we can all bring glory to God and not glorify men/women per say.

The Other Day Worked On Another Creative Project, What Music Do You Think I Played?

Some may think this may not be a creative project, but I beg to differ with you. Ironing clothes that need to be ironed from doing laundry is a creative project. How many of you out there actually still iron your clothes? I do because there is just something about wearing clothes that do not look crumpled up with wrinkles. Take some care in yourself to present yourself as if you were standing before royalty. If you were would you not take the time and effort to present yourself in a presentable image. Well, hello, if you are a born-again believer you stand before Jesus all the time, think about that. Not just in words or deeds or actions but you yourself choose to stand right before Him. No need to discuss that anymore today.

That particular day not only did I do ironing, but I also discovered there is a certain brand which is made in the USA of decorative style scatter rugs that can be machine washed. I tested it out with a few and they turned out really nice, so I then adventured out to do another set of rugs washing. Only thing is even if you follow the dryer instructions may I suggest you still need to let them air dry a bit also. I also baked Lemon Cheesecake Crinkle cookies. I tested them a couple of times and decided I needed to portion them out in decorative bags and place them in the freezer so as to not be tempted by them. I brought some of them with me to a church in Huntsville, AL yesterday to bless the pastor's family along with a few special treats from a local chocolatier in my area. I have never been to this shop before, but it smelled simply wonderful when you walked into it. I selected their homemade popped popcorn drizzled in milk chocolate and spicy pork rinds also drizzled in milk chocolate. From what I understand both are good sellers for them. Oh, I also enclosed a brief note card handwritten thanking them for their continued kindness and a copy of the recipe also. Holy Spirit in advance of me attending this service also spoke to my heart to bring them 7.50 for them to apply towards their Honduras trip from what I understand it only costs 7.50 to feed a family for 1 week there.

It started off raining yesterday morning but by the end of the day it was sunny where I lived. So, when I go home, I prepped some fresh brussels sprouts and broccoli to make in the air fryer drizzled with seasonings and lime infused avocado oil. I also planted another tomato plant I was growing with the Aero Garden inside. It was time to transplant outdoor. Planted a few more petunias in another hanging basket and left room in the center to plant an ice plant when that arrives in the mail.

At church I sat with one of the pastor's parents, they are such a lovely couple and if they are there when I venture out to this church I try to sit with them. I asked if it was okay to use my little percussion shaker instruments and they assured me there is freedom to worship @ this church. Worship started and I  must tell you this young man and young woman and 1 guitar ushers in the presence of God in a thick and strong way. See, you don't need some big band/orchestra behind you when you love Jesus and live a pure life. Worship just seems to exude from you. The pastor's mom looked at me and motioned for me to go to the altar during worship and I did just that but not before offering them to select one of the instruments for them to use during worship. God is so good and so faithful in my life, is He in yours?

After the service I was able to shop @ 2 local stores before heading back home, The Fresh Market & Whole Foods. Oh, the music I listened to on the creative project day was once again, "Never Alone" created by James W. Goll. James Goll you really need to work on another creative music/vocal project, Pretty Please with sugar on top, is that how the old saying goes. At least how I remember the saying growing up as a child.
