As I was getting up this morning, I had a dream and in the warning dream I began to pray protection amongst other prayers in regard to the dream. I sought Holy Spirit as to if it was a dream given to me from Him and He shared it was a warning dream. I sought further confirmation with biblical reference. I knew to read not just a portion but the entire chapter of 1John: 2. I read it and noticed some sort of pattern as to when I would jot down in the margins prior times I was led to read this chapter. I noticed a slight pattern of for whatever reason they seemed to be in July other occasions I notated reading that chapter.
I do not think that is a coincidence that today a day in July, 7/25/2025, I am led to read once again this chapter in the bible. Take heed and read this in your bible because there are people out there that truly need to hear this message written in the bible and repent if anything within this chapter speaks to your heart and ask forgiveness while you are able to still ask for forgiveness. Does that make sense? I do believe Holy Spirit is trying to warn me of one to possibly pull back from that I am seeing a pattern with lately. Yes, anyone can claim they are a Christian but follow the fruit coming forth from them okay. Holy Spirit will give you that check within your spirit and may I suggest heeding the warning. Be around good, true Christians and not false appearance Christians, if that makes sense.
Onto happier things now if I may share ... After searching for a couple of years now I found a church with the prayer quilt ministry. I made a donation and requested for 2 quilts to be made for 2 different women of God, both in their 90's. I picked up 1 of them the other day and I also baked cherry pie bars to take to 1 of the women. This church not only creates the lap quilts, but they pray over them also before distributing them. The pastor also enclosed a handwritten not for the receiver of the quilt that I tucked it in with my own personal notecard. I will share a picture of the quilt.
You know that Amish family I have befriended recently? The one with 7 children they have, and they also have a farm in which I purchase their homemade goods from. I did not have to purchase anything the other day, but Holy Spirit nudged me to go and bring the family snacks, so I did. They are almost about to welcome their 8th child into their family. I always ask permission if it is okay to bring them the snacks and I do get permission from their mother. She shares with me how the children are happy when they see my car because they know I bring them treats. In the high temperature heat we are experiencing in my region I cannot grasp the idea how they have no air conditioning and still do their daily chores, bake, cook, etc. without the convenience of air conditioning. I remember years ago not having air conditioning @ college and we used the good old-fashioned fans to help cool down the dorm room. Or even to have the luxury in an apartment we lived in as newlyweds way back that we were so thankful to get a window air conditioner to at least run in an area of the apartment when it was hot in the summer back then.
I am learning things about the Amish with my short little visits to make purchases from their family farm. So, the women don't go to the hospital to deliver the babies, but birth them in their homes. Only going to the hospital if there are complications. Silly me, on one of my visits I purchased a quart of green beans they canned themselves. I noticed on that particular visit it appeared like pole green beans were growing on their front porch. From the ground up to the roof area in a few sections with each section having several rows. I inquired if they were beans and if they were the beans she canned. Well, they are not edible beans but used to grow on porches to help shade them and for cooling purposes. Sort of like a shade on your porch. That same visit I gave 1.00 tip to put towards the new baby's diapers or something needed. When I drove away, I thought to myself, this city girl was thinking like a city girl does. Just buy diapers @ the store. I am probably sure they do not use disposable type of diapers but probably cloth type of diapers. How silly of me. I remember with having a newborn and we used cloth diaper service back then (along with disposable diapers). The diaper service had the task of making sure those diapers were made clean. I would imagine the Amish do not hire cloth diaper service but clean their own diapers used.
That is a bit of my recent adventures I have been on lately.
