2021 is Winding Down

Only a few more weeks to find out the true transformation that has taken place during this year.

What have the trials produced? It is really true that hard things that we go through will make us stronger in the long run. Even if it’s not something that we want to hear or even think about. Life is just not always going to be smooth and easy on this earth.

Some seasons will be smoother and more joyful and others will feel like trudging through quicksand. One thing is for sure, they both pass. They do move on to the next season.

It was quite unbelievable that today there were several “suddenly” things that happened. Like several things that were just amazing miracles. An auto that had been sitting in the back yard that sold. A grandchild that had been suffering a heart defect healed. My husband told by the Veteran’s Administration that they were doing a back pay on all money that he had spent on medication back to a certain point! And last, all of his tests came back great after having Covid earlier this year.

Last week I was seriously starting to feel like things were getting hopeless. That is ALWAYS a lie! Things are NEVER hopeless, no matter what! The battle is usually in our mind and lies that we believe. If we are not feeling well, we are a little more vulnerable for falling for lies. Falling into negativity is a slippery slope.

There are many things to look forward to in our lives. Picking out the word for 2022 is something I look forward to. That’s a tradition for me… I’m thinking about my word now but haven’t settled on it 100% yet. One thing that I do know is that Marty and I have been reinvented this year and the main thing is eating more healthy. I think we’ve had some mindset changes also. We’ve had many things be a SLOW process when we would have liked to move a little faster… that’s okay though….sometimes:

I remember about thirty years ago hearing Joyce Meyers husband making that remark at one of her conferences and it stuck in my mind.

That has seemed to be a true statement this year about many things. I don’t think I have ever had this certain thing hit home as much as it has this year. It’s seemed like all of the things that used to work in the past changed and there were new rules to the game and I had to adjust.

I am adjusting and I am moving forward. One thing that I will not choose to be and that is stuck. Whatever I have to go through to be unstuck will work for me.

The next few weeks I’m praying and seeking my word for 2022 and I’m dreaming about the days ahead and seeing what God wants to happen in my life next year. I’m closing out the transforming that took place in 2021 and I’m grateful for the wonderful miracles that all happened in one day this week.

•We never know what can all turn around in just one day!

•We can’t listen to lies in our mind…we have to fight for truth!

•Reach out and talk to someone if you are sinking, we are never really alone!

•Do you have a word for 2022? Sort of a theme for your life next year?

•There is ALWAYS hope no matter what!

•I’m here if you need me!

See ya’ll next week!

The Pause

Well it has hit our home, the dreaded COVID-19. Marty tested positive and I tested negative. Today is the third day that he’s had it and he’s not doing too bad.

His fever is down, he’s still trying to do a few things because everyone said, “Try to stay active.” We are on our third day of quarantine.

How am I doing? Well me being the extrovert person that I am, I instantly canceled a speaking engagement, canceled a hair appointment, canceled two lunch dates, a meeting I was supposed to attend and decided to settle in.

The first day I was a little sad and angry. I just went with that feeling and let myself feel it. Then I decided I may be being a little selfish and started giving more compassion to the one not feeling well.

The second day I asked my great friends from a recovery group (we do a group text everyday) to let me have a phone meeting with them the next night. They all kicked in and started showing the love…They made me cry!

I also got to make a video on my business page about self care and practice what I was saying. I have a checklist that I’m doing everyday. We got a sweet FaceTime from a granddaughter checking on Papa, I got many phone conversations with people that I don’t normally talk to and sorted out some things in my life.

Third day…which is today. Marty still holding fever down, many people letting us know that they love us and checking on us, some even bringing little gifts to us. We are finding out how many people love and care about us.

This has been the theme of my life and I’ve checked into survival mode now. Using all the tools that I’ve been given.

Gratitude is the next one. What do I have to be grateful for?

1. God and my faith.

2. Marty not being severely ill.

3. My mother still being alive and all of our family.

4. So many wonderful friends that love us and care about us.

5. Prosperity and provision.

6. America and the blessings I have had growing up here.

I will keep working on this list.

I have a friend flying in from out of town and we get to talk today.

Let’s always remember to take a pause and remember what we have. It might just help us see things from a different perspective.

Blessings to you today!

Always fight to stay positive!

Never give up!

Have faith, hope, and love always!

You deserve the best of everything!

If you need anything let us know! That is my favorite thing that people keep saying to us!!

See y’all soon!!

Focus

There are many voices fighting for our attention today. Because I am in the place of helping people get healed of trauma, I have to be focused.

I have to be focused on my Father❣️ My Father in heaven that is. My Father that is placed above all things in heavenly places.

I have to spend time with His presence which gives me peace. I have to read His ancient words that bring me peace!

I have to stay away from anything that would condemn me because that’s not His voice. There may be things that sound like that in His word but that is not my Father’s heart speaking to me.

This is what He’s speaking to me right now:

“That evening, the disciples gathered together. And because they were afraid of reprisals from the Jewish leaders, they had locked the doors to the place where they met. But suddenly Jesus appeared among them and said, “Peace to you!””
‭‭John‬ ‭20:19‬ ‭TPT‬‬

That means PEACE to us right now! That is what I am supposed to be helping people receive in the earth today, “Peace!”

I have to stay away from certain things right now in conversations like prejudice, politics, hatred and such because I am a conduit of Peace!

Whatever we go through in our life leads us to our identity and destiny! My life has had me in a place of loving the ones that seem to be marginalized! I can’t fit in the other boxes! I’ve tried! But that’s not my identity!

It’s taken lots of focus to not get pulled into wrong thinking and ideas. I’ve also had to come to the place of more confidence! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and deserve just as much love as people that share my opinions!

This isn’t always the norm today. It’s become my norm and I’m helping others have it as their new norm! Boxes are boring anyway! I urge you to get out of boxes and find your identity!

Identity is freedom and powerful! If you’d like to learn more, connect with me and we can help you handle things in your life.

Love never fails❤️

Boxes are boring❣️

Our lives matter❣️

Our voices matter❣️

Don’t give up❣️

Live life with purpose❣️

See you soon…jill 🌸

Healing From a Not So Merry Christmas!

As a child I had such wonderful childhood Christmases with my immediate and extended family. I remember going to my grandparents’ house with all my many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

These Christmases lasted on up into my adult years until the time when my father left my mother after forty four years of marriage. I had gone through a divorce also just a few years before. I still remember the Christmas Eve that I had to go visit my father with his new wife and without my mother.

It was hard breaking free from their home to get to my mother’s house and I also had to deliver my two daughters to their father’s house afterwards to see him. So the ideal Christmas was just not happening to me that year.

When I got to my mother’s house she was so upset because I had spent more time with my father and his new wife than her. Then when I took my children to their father’s house he jumped on me for having them longer than he got to have them. I left there in tears, I thought I would never enjoy another Christmas and my world was falling in.

It felt so impossible and out of sorts! Through it all, my faith in Jesus grew stronger and stronger. He was all that I had and I grew closer to Him. He actually used all of the sadness and trauma that happened in those times to equip me to have a life of helping others walk through such things.

He has given me a new husband and family. I now have four children and nine of the most beautiful grandchildren. My life is filled with vibrancy and excitement. My father just recently passed away, September 1, 2020. I had always hoped that my dad would outlive the woman that he married and he did. He even got to come visit me at my knew home and spend time as a family there with my mom joining us also.

I also got this beautiful nativity scene that he had carved and it was so special for me to receive that when I didn’t expect to get anything and really wasn’t expecting it.

So many things have been restored and now I can enjoy my Christmases again. Though my father passed this year, he lived 97 years and was such an amazing WWII Veteran.

Now that I’m older and understand better, it means so much to me that he had a very large part in saving the Jewish people from Hitler. In fact it affected his life and when he left my mother he said, “Blame it on the war!” We didn’t understand what he meant at the time but now that I have been trained in helping others, I do understand, because he was never given any counseling or help after all the trauma that he lived through.

God showed me after my father passed, that just like he helped bring the Jewish people to freedom, that Marty (my husband) and I are bringing many people now to freedom! Freedom from past traumas and disappointments.

He earned many medals and we are now waiting to hear when his funeral service will be held at Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C.

I’m so grateful to still have my mother that is 93 and I’m so grateful for all of the restoration that my Heavenly Father has given me in my life.

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

I’m grateful for the life that I’ve been given and the legacy that my past generations have left behind.

I’m grateful for all of the imperfections because they shaped me and made my story to be what it is today.

There is always hope!

Forgiveness and love never fail!

Merry Christmas to you and may you have hope and goodwill!

Reach out to us if you need anything!

Next time jill 🌸

Destiny Scrolls

There are actual destiny scrolls written in heaven about our purpose and identity here on earth.

“You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:16‬ ‭TPT‬‬

TPT means The Passion Translation version of the Bible. I love that version because it speaks in simplicity and clarity to me!

At the beginning of the year I have been bringing together a group of women that write out our visions on vision boards! I have learned that this helps bring about a course for our life and makes impossible things actually become possible.

There are many things that happened this year that were totally unpredictable… But God! He’s above everything… He created everything! The ancient words that have been printed still shine through no matter what. Our purpose and destiny still shines through no matter what!

With the end of the year here I’d like to present my latest book that shares how to get to our place of destiny. It may be something to share with someone that you care about so that they may find identity and destiny!

http://Shift Happens: Restored to Bloom https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578604434/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_W3n1FbPV5XA2R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have realized just recently how important the information in this book really is. People have lost hope, gotten discouraged, and distracted! But the one that created us and formed us before we were here has not moved! He’s not mad at us, He loves us!

There are many people sitting with messages and voices that need to be heard in the earth. That can be frustrating! Your voice and purpose needs to be released!

We would love to do a call with you to help you find your divine destiny on earth! There may be people waiting to hear your message and voice! The cost is FREE!

It is time for your voice to be heard!

It is never too late!

You are qualified!

You have permission!

We will help you!

Love and hugs!
