This is what I love to do!! I can’t say that I always do it perfectly but it is my goal to find the gold and pull it out of whoever I am around.

I want to show Jesus to a cruel world that doesn’t understand who HE is. I am someone that needs lots of encouragement to keep going so I figure lots of others do too!!

Some people have only heard lies about themselves and we need to help them know the truth about who they really are. Sometimes we can speak what someone is into existence.

I somehow got this video the other day about a young man that was only 19 and dropped out of college because he wanted to be an entrepreneur and he didn’t feel like his professor  really knew how to teach him to do that.

Actually, the young man was right. He wrote a book and it went viral. He now has a Self Publishing School and helps many many folks write books and publish them in 3 months.

After I watched this, I got so inspired. I know that I have lots of words to help others. I started praying whether I should join his school because I need help in publishing a book.

I wanted to just jump in but I’m not really impulsive about spending money like that. It was around $300 to join. And that much 2 more times. I had a man that popped into HERRIN from France, a young man named Pasgal. Pasgal spoke over me that I would have many best sellers and even help others publish books.

Well how would I help others publish books if I didn’t know how to publish one myself? Prophecy is still real for today. You have to weigh it out and check it out and wait for confirmation, but it is a gift that is still in operation today. In fact, I have had it spoke over me many times that I would write a book.

It happened Sunday night, I got my confirmation. We go to a fellowship in Herrin on Sunday nights and Marty went out to get the car and bring it up to the door. I looked out and saw a guy out there talking to him so I waited.

Finally, the guy came in and I went out. I didn’t even ask for a little while what he said. Then I said, ” Oh, what did Carl say?” Marty said, “Oh! He said that someone was going to ask me for $300 dollars and I was supposed to give it to them!” Bingo!! You can’t make these things up!!

That’s all I needed to know that I was supposed to proceed on with plans!! Sometimes when something is spoken over us like that, we have to have faith to proceed on with walking it out! There is a price to pay sometimes!!

But why wouldn’t God want me to do this? It’s about HIM and not me anyway!! I joined yesterday!!

Books are coming❤

No doubts now❤

Finding the gold in others❤

Don’t give up❤

Get around the right folks❤

See you soon❤

This is an often not discussed subject. There are many roaming around with this life going on and not realizing it. From childhood hurts and trauma and pain they have learned how to live this way.

By learning Restoring The Foundations and walking people through these prayers we really are learning a new revelation of how this is happening. Many people had such an awful childhood that there was a time they actually divorced their parents or even whole family. This begins the cycle of an orphan lifestyle. Thank God it can be broken.

There is so much divorce going on in families that children figure if Dad doesn’t want our family, why should I? If Mom took off, why can’t I? I’m so excited to be able to be helping out at a place full of middle school age kids. Showing them Gods love and acceptance. I’m thankful to be helping adults also, showing them Gods love and acceptance, with our prayer sessions in our home.

I have to say, that if I hadn’t experienced all of the things I have been through, my heart wouldn’t  be so big for helping others. I’ve said before, we are surely not an island. We have to find SOMEONE that we can trust and talk to about things.

There are people in this world we can trust. If someone hurts you, it’s ok, just get back up and have a little more wisdom and trust again. I am not saying that flippantly, because sometimes people can hurt us worse than we can imagine! I’m just saying, work through it, take the steps you need to take to forgive, grieve it if you have to, and move on!! Don’t stay in that hurt and bitterness forever!! No matter what it is!

I am so happy to be so surrounded by so many people that I can trust right now. I did not do that, God did. I just had to persevere and stay in one place even though it took years to feel this way.

It’s so funny, I was being trained for ministry where I used to live and when I moved here one of the pastors told me that if I moved I was missing my purpose and calling. I knew that God put Marty in my life and that I was supposed to do it. Do you know how many days, months, and years it looked like he was right?

I had to hold on to the promises that God had spoke to Marty and I in the beginning when Marty had the dream and the man he worked with confirmed it. That’s what faith has to do. Persevere and hang onto the promises. Whew it is so exciting and fulfilling and bigger than anything I ever imagined!! Don’t give up!!

Most of it really had nothing to do with me! God literally made it happen! He’s just looking for a broken and contrite spirit that He can work through. Sometimes it only happens through the process!

Do not give up❤

He has a family for you❤

Keep persevering❤

Everyone is special❤

See you soon❤

 

Just want to talk about how important YOUR voice is. If you are in a group where you are invisible and never heard and never even acknowledged as being there, chances are you might be in the wrong room, or you might need to work harder at being heard.

That’s what I had become. I was around all young people with college degrees and such confidence. Now I realize… they need me, they need my voice, they need my wisdom, they need my love, and they need my input.

There is something about living a lot of days on this Earth and going through many experiences that just can’t be taught in books. Of course I have to throw in here, I know many young people have had as many life experiences and learned as much as I have in a few short years. I’m definitely not saying that I know more, I’m saying that I know something too.

I almost started getting intimidated by a know it all attitude. A haughtiness comes along with that. I am no longer intimidated by it now, I can see through it. I can see a hurt little kid that went through lots of different things in their life and has had to be so tough and bump their way through.

I see a nation full of these kids that haven’t got their needs met in many ways and shuffled through the system to lay down their true feelings and take on a false identity to fit in this world. I can see it because I even started doing it myself. Mine was by being quiet.

I am so, so grateful to get to be doing what I am today. My voice is back, it’s ok if others are confident because I am too. It’s ok if they have a voice, I do too. It’s really miserable being quiet when you have things to say. It’s really miserable being politically correct every minute. It’s just the pits!!

If you feel like you aren’t accepted for you… if the people around you aren’t celebrating you and you are getting overlooked and underheard. Start checking  that out. It could be something going on inside of you. It could be that you are around the wrong group of people. You do have a purpose and you do have a voice.

It’s so fun to be you and even encouraging yourself if no one else is around to do it!! Now I see the truth not the lies…helping others do the same❤ People need to be out of their boxes and enjoy what really makes them happy and what they are really meant for…. not just lost in the shuffle of busyness and systems that aren’t working!!

Keeping digging inside❤

Don’t get lost in the shuffle❤

Don’t give up❤

See you soon❤

Just thinking about honor today. That means honoring everyone on this Earth. Red and yellow, black and white, we are precious in His sight. That is totally true too. We are all loved by God.

We are all created differently, with different giftings and even a different message to tell others. It’s so wonderful to embrace our own unique qualities along with everyone else’s too. We don’t need to get angry just because someone is different!!

We can always learn from others. I believe everyone is put in our path for a reason. Some people are more of a challenge to us, and we learn a different lesson, like, “Wow that person is pushing all my buttons!” We have to learn why our reactor is reacting so badly!! Others are just a gliding easy ride.

I have found, that if I keep looking inward to what’s going on in me, that I can learn to honor the person that pushes my buttons, even if I have to handle it differently than the easy to handle ones.

I think the hardest for me is someone that is acting like everything is great in their life and you can tell something is going on. I know that everything does not have to be shared with me, but at least tell me you have something going on!! Even if you don’t tell me what!! Ha ha!!

Different personalities, different giftings, we all have to learn to work together and learn from one another. The comparing and thinking everyone has to be like us is hideous. It’s not good to back off from all the people that aren’t like us. Then we might miss a good lesson!!

It’s not always the easiest thing to do, but I think we all have to keep our reactors in check!! Find the good in others…just like you want them to find the good in you!! You can do it, don’t give up!! Love never fails!! We need to make a difference in this world!!

Give it your best shot!

Love never fails!

Blessed are the peacemakers!!

Hi, approaching this subject, I’m seeing how this has gradually become a huge thing in our nation, maybe world. I have to say, for me personally, all of the things I have been through have actually saved me from being self sufficient. There was no way I could do anything by myself, so I didn’t have any choice but to have faith.

There is scripture to back this up.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me,”My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast more proudly of my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest in me. 10. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Maybe you are thinking, that’s not very inviting. I don’t want to be weak. It’s not saying that we will remain weak, it’s saying that in our own weaknesses is when He becomes strong! America has been so strong that we are thinking we can do it without Him. Sorry to say but I think that is a delusion.

I didn’t stay in all of these calamities and weaknesses that I was in, but they were all used to shape me and mold me into a person that is not strong in any way unless Christ is working through me. I learned not to hold ANYTHING very near and dear to me accept for Christ alone. Then I was ready to share what I learned with others. I know for a fact that none of it has ANYTHING to do at all with any of my strength. The only way I was involved was to keep seeking HIM and to not give up or turn away.

Anything that we have, our abilities, our brains, our looks, our money, our job, that makes us think we are strong enough without Christ or makes us think we are sufficient without HIM, is lying to us and tricking us.

If there is anything that makes us feel strong apart the God, we are being deceived… period. There is so much deception now, that to make a statement like that goes completely against what most people think. It’s hard for me to even type that out because so much opposition comes against it. But it is true. I cannot prove it other than you being able to see the miracle that happened in my life.

Our country has gotten lost from this. How long has it been since you read the 10 Commandments? That was what our nation was founded upon. The first 2 talk about what I’m talking about. I have to be honest and say these things. It’s why God let me live when the man had a knife to my throat. It’s my purpose and what I was put on this Earth for. For such a time as this.

I know it can be quite sobering, but I have to keep telling my story because I can’t risk losing my voice again. I’m responsible to help the one’s that don’t understand and have lost their way. The enemy wants me to be quiet but I can’t…

Can’t do it by myself!

You Jesus, are the one with the power!!

I love you!

Tomorrow❤
