Favor

 You don’t have to sweat, strive, struggle, or suffer to experience, provision, favor in abundance. God has a better and higher way for you. It’s called his abundant unmerited favor! Through Jesus finish work you already have access to this favor. Put your faith and rest in Him today and continue to expect God‘s abundant favor. You’ll see His goodness and abundance invade every area and mark every day of your life! 

When you focus on His grace, His favor and His love for you daily, you’re putting a magnifying glass over your life, and allowing Jesus’ love to beam down upon you in all its radiance, beauty and warmth. No matter what may be happening around you, you’ll be anchored in the security of His perfect love hidden in the cleft of the immovable Rock of all ages– your loving Savior, Jesus Christ. 

The effective, fervent prayer of a child of God avails much. Your Father is listening! The best way to guard your mind is to fill it with God‘s precious thoughts towards you! It is so important for you to develop a favor, consciousness in everything that you do because our human tenancy is to depend on our own strengths to succeed. It’s so easy to revert to self effort– where we end up, striving and worrying – instead of depending on God‘s favor for a success in all areas of our lives. 

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Miracles happen when you keep your eyes on Jesus. Walk on the water like Peter but don’t take your eyes off Jesus and look at the wind like he did for then he started to sink. 

Beloved, as Jesus is, so are you in this world. When you keep your focus on Jesus, you are transformed into His image from glory to glory. 

Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. Lord is (present tense): He is our Shepherd now. Jesus is present with you, providing for you, watching out for you, and making sure that you and your family will have more than enough. Good success from Jesus will never take you away from your church. It will never take you away from your loved ones. Most of all, it will never take you away from yourself. Jesus is our good success. 

Faith does not come, just by hearing the word of God. Faith comes by hearing the word of Jesus His finished work. In the same way, meditating in God‘s word is about meditating, muttering and hearing about Jesus. 

Psalm 35:27 let the Lord be magnified, who is pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. Jesus delights in blessing us now. It is His good pleasure to see you blessed every year of your life! Now, don’t put a limit on His blessing in your life. The blessing of the Lord are not as some may believe just seen in material things. Jesus is infinitely interested in your total well-being. He is interested in your family, career, fulfillment in life, marriage, ministry, and boy, does the list go on! If it matters to you, it matters to Him. Jesus knows us yet still loves us. Any challenges, whether they are addictions, fears, sickness, or broken relationships Jesus, unmerited favor, will protect, deliver, prosper, bring restoration too, and provide for you.

Married 42 Years

June 29, 2025

 With our 42nd wedding anniversary coming up I was remembering two years ago when we bought the truck Butch said next year we upgrade the car. I guess he forgot. I reminded him today that two years ago he got that new truck around our anniversary. It’s funny how he never picks up on hints. Well I don’t want to buy a new car right now. However I do want to look around and know what I want when the crashes come. Then I will be ready. Yes they will come and prices will come down on everything Like they always should have been.

I recall our wedding day. It’s was humid. I could feel heat from Butch just standing next to him so when the pastor said take his hand I thought sticky. But as we leave the church and go to the reception we forgot about the humidity as now we’re in air conditioning. Now 42 years later. We are blessed!

Angels watching over us

Early in our marriage when we were living on Northern avenue we had a ledge in our back hall. One day when Butch got home from work he came in and opened his hand and said do you want these? To my surprise he was holding my wedding rings in his hand. I looked at them wondering why he had them. Back then I wore them all the time I never took them off. He told me I found them on the ledge in the back hall. Some would say it’s a mystery? Nope. They must of fallen off and I will always believe angels put them on the ledge. 

Yesterday when the kids were over when it came time to leave keys were missing. I did what I always do I said nothing hid that will not be revealed. Everyone was looking for them. I looked in places they really could not of been. I found myself looking through our small laundry basket. No I didn’t find them. But however when I lifted my head up from the basket there they were on the coat rack. Not hanging on it but sitting up on the ledge part of it. Not sure how they got there if they were set on there and forgotten or angels.

Psalm 91 where it says God gives the angels charge over us. Keeping us safe. Psalm 103 says the angels hearken to our words. I said nothing hidden that will not reveal itself. 

I have seen to much where I know God and the angels were there. Actually they are always there sometimes though you just know. God and the angels are doing such cleanup in our world too. I have been saying for years nothing hid in Jesus name. 

I plead the blood of Jesus over us and assign the angels every morning and night. They are at work. Blessings….

Happy Mother’s Day 2025

I love that I have the opportunity to be a mother. Our girls are grown now but many have heard me say I would take that time back in a heartbeat. I was a stay at home mom and we had plenty of time together.

However I do have that time back with grandchildren. Willa and Jordon have been a treasure. Maybe a handful at times but such a blessing. School is almost out and Jordon will be coming for the summer too. I don’t see Eden as often but we do have times together. I am thinking her and I need to do some more sewing together. 

I love being a mom. I will always be one as well now as a grandmother. Willa tends to make me think more of when our girls were younger. We will miss her in the fall when she goes to school. 

This might sound strange to some but I love looking at my hands. God says He will bless the work of our hands. Indeed in all these years He has. I look at my hands and think of all they have done and the people that I have touched. 

We ride by our use to be homes (started out in an apartment and now we’re in number six) and the memories made in them are all still treasured. Northern avenue where the girls were younger and the rides on bikes to the park Kim now lives down the street from. My favorite the three season porch where the girls played a lot. It was so cozy. Each home has its own memories but northern avenue has the most. 

God created man and woman. The woman’s job or responsibility was to be a nurturer. The world has a different idea but I am going with what God says instead. 

God has the role of the man and the role of the woman. Our world has switched them around in some families. The man is suppose to be the one that goes out and works. He’s not meant to stay at home. In fact it says a lazy man shouldn’t eat. I do know in some cases the position’s are swapped but there are some that it shouldn’t be. The Bible says the husband is to love his wife the way Jesus loves the church. Jesus loves the church - the believer’s unconditionally. The husband is to nurture her also. That is just a few things for the man. 

The woman’s job is much more. Like I said I love being a mom. The Bible doesn’t intend for the woman to go to work and let a sitter bond with there children. In fact you need to be careful who your children bond with. I myself believe God wants every woman to nurse the babies. It’s natural and He gave us that miracle. We need to teach them about Jesus and there is so much more that goes with that. I just loved being there for them when they were younger and now when they are grown. 

So which parent works harder. It’s equal. Most husbands/dads when they come home from work will help out in the home. Since Butch was gone two nights a week overnight he would come home and entertain the girls while I made dinner and such. 

Right after we married we gave our hearts to Jesus and invited Him into our marriage. I have to say way back when to me it was a simpler life. Not complaining now just saying. I once worked with a woman who said the more you have/own in this world the more you have to take care of. She wasn’t wrong and I think of her comment a lot when shopping as an example. 

Thank You Father for the blessings. You are so good to us……

Our Fury Pets

Our pets touch and change our hearts like no human can ever do. My family knows that since we have already had two that blessed us unconditionally while they were here. 

Our daughter and her husband have three dogs but sadly Shia one of them just had to be put to eternal sleep. The other two dogs are adjusting to missing her and it’s sad for them just like for us. Tucker the oldest dog has been laying in Shia’s spots on the couch and such. He goes outside looking for her. Isla the other dog isn’t eating. They know shes gone. They showed both dogs Shia’s body afterwards. Dogs know they say. 

Our dogs love us unconditionally. I think that is the first thing we miss. No matter what our fury little dogs are always there for us. We just got another dog and she follows me all over. 

God so love us all that He gave His only son to die for us. God actually came to earth as Jesus and died. That is how much He loves us. Since we can’t see God sometimes it’s harder to feel His love. However it’s always there if you are a believer. 

Gods Love*

 John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Fall in love with the ordinary. Dare to believe that the minor details of your life matter to God. You are much more than pretty…you are wonderfully made. You are much more than likeable…you are deeply loved. You are the spice of life, created to bring zest and flavor to the world around you just by being yourself.

I believe that people don’t know the love God has. We all believe in God in some form. You need to fall in love with the Word of God to see His love like never before.

In the bible is everything we will ever need to live in this world. When you know that God loves you it just makes your life different. Nothing can happen to you that God can’t handle. Thing is we don’t let Him handle it. We try to handle life on our own. That old saying let go and let God is so true.

Most don’t know either that the Creator of the Universe wants to take care of you. He says give Him all your burdens. When you give your burdens to Him though remember to leave them there don’t take them back.

If you are not convinced of His love just look at what He created. Watch a sunset it is beautiful.

My prayer for you is that you know His love and give Him all your burdens.

Talk to God from you heart it will heal you.

Noah’s Ark and Now*

Hebrew 6:13

Noah warned for about 125 years about a flood coming. At that time their was no such thing as rain. The mist would come up from the ground and water everything but rain never came from the sky. 

Noah is talking about a rain from the sky. He’s warning people of rain that they knew nothing about. They thought he was crazy. What's rain? What’s a flood? He’s crazy. They tuned him out. They mocked him they laughed at him. They ridiculed him. 

He was the prophet in that land at the time. He was there to warn a evil dark dying world that a flood was coming. What was the flood for? To destroy the evil that was there in the world but also to cleanse it of all the destruction.

 Right now God has been talking to us about shakings. Something significant is coming He says. He’s been talking about bracing for impact. He’s been warning over and over again. And just like the days of Noah the prophet’s are still mocked by some. Not just prophet’s but people too. We are told we’re crazy when we try to tell some people what’s coming. People didn’t listen then and some aren’t listening now. 125 years is a long time to warn about a flood. (Noah that darn conspiracy theorist. Lol.)

Matt 24:37 is a warning. 

We all have been eating and drinking and enjoying our life. But one day everything is going to change just like in Noah’s day. 

 Noah wanted to help these people. Even though Noah did what God was telling him to do the people didn’t listen. The only people saved were Noah, his sons and their family. 

People right now are blinded by truth. It’s right there in front of there face. The truth is out. It seems everything regarding truth right now is conspiracy. 

The Bible says in the last days good will be betrayed as evil and evil as good. If you can’t see that you are a sleeper. 

Romans 12:1-2 renew our minds. 

Without renewed minds we will believe anything we’re told. That is happening right now. Proof is in 2020 and the lockdown.

We’re living in a time where God is warning the world about something coming that will change the world. Just like Noah warned about a world changing event and no one paid attention. Right now there are people paying attention to warnings but not everyone. 

There is another world changing event but of course not a flood. God promised He would never flood the earth again and gave us the rainbow. Rainbow isn’t for what the world is saying. 

God says evil is coming down and His glory will fill this earth. Get ready My children for these great changes which are about to take place. God doesn’t tell us dates but He tells us seasons. We are in that season. Something is coming so big that the world will take notice that God is not dead. God is still sitting on the throne. He is still the judge over all the earth. Some in this world think justice is not being served but God says things aren’t the way they appear to be. 

God is bringing down everything evil. It’s in the news that our three letter agencies are corrupt and were never meant to be anyway God said. We have been living in bondage just like the Israelites. 

Pharaoh taxed the Israelites right into slavery. They came from the land of Canaan extremely wealthy. No one cared to find out why they came in wealthy and then they were enslaved. They had nothing. Sound familiar? What’s going on in this world today is nothing new under the sun the enemy just calls it something different. It’s the same strategy. Same tactic of war that he’s been putting on Gods people and the world for a long long time. Since Adam and Eve. 

He’s trying to overthrow Gods people. The serpent deceived Adam and Eve by making them believe that they didn’t have something they already had. Eat this fruit you will know something you don’t know now. 

Same thing now with the children of God. We all know what we have in Christ but the world wants us enslaved to their power.  They keep trying to take God out and His people. God calls them the Pharaohs of today. They are trying to take complete control of what they want upon this earth. 

God has a army. It’s us and our mouths. God has been giving us marching orders. Tear down with our words. We have learned our words are powerful. God has His military too. 

It’s time to continue to fight. Democrats- Republicans doesn’t matter. They have fooled us all these decades. There all the same. There are a handful of politicians that do work for us the people.

Everything is changing. Some people say nothing is changing. Complaining just like the Israelites in the Bible times. 

God has said whistle blowers are coming forth and they are. God says we will find out everything.

So be ready. Be prepared for this shaking God talks about. I can’t say enough that if the internet goes down it will be hard to buy anything since it all works together. Millions of us have been waiting for this and it’s here. Remember too that when God was delivering the Israelites from the Egyptians He locked them in for there safety. Yes He said it’s coming. God says not to fear. He warns us He says it will look really bad but He says things aren’t as they appear.
