Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Greetings in the Holy Name of Our Savior, Jesus, the Messiah!
What would you do if you learned you had just won a million dollars - no strings attached. A life changing free gift. It would be foolish to say No, I just do not want a million dollars and prefer to live my live as it is. Well you really DO have a free gift worth much more than a million dollars. Your Divine Creator, Almighty God has given you a free gift of Eternal Life through the shed Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus, the Messiah. The Bible tells us in Paul's letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 2, Verse 8, it says:
"For by Grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God".
I accepted Jesus and was born into the Family of God. You can too.
My childhood was for the most part a nightmare. I had to search and struggle on my own in my Spiritual Maturation. It has taken many years and much unnecessary heartaches and hardships because of my self reliance, instead of seeking my Father's guidance and advice through Faithful Prayer, Worship, and reading His word (the Bible).
Now I am an old woman. On October 9th I will be 62 years old. From reading this blog, you know that I am dealing with a plethora of health problems, including Cancer and of course, that fall I took in February leaving my right hand nearly unusable. I don't like to publicly lament my failing health and financial woes. However, last week I was diagnosed with multilevel Degenerative Disc Disease in my spine. I have been in excruciating pain for several months now to the point where I cannot get out of bed as I usually do. With all the other health issues I have, I just don't need more! Having to bear the burden of medical co-pays, etc., my meager SS Disability check does not cover all my bills & expenses. Every month I feel like a juggler, robbing Peter to pay Paul, so to speak.
So why do you suppose God is allowing me to go through all of this?
Why do true Christians go through pain and trials?
He is building our strength as His children so we can handle what is ahead. Our Gracious Father Blesses us for our Faithfulness and perseverance.
As you have read in this blog, He provides our every NEED. He has provided me with your Prayers and support to help me muddle through all of this stuff. I Pray for all of you, too. I know most of you are going through a lot as well. Don't give up! God wants you (& me) to succeed as His Faithful Children. We must continue to hold each other up to the Throne of God for His Mercy, Guidance, and Blessing.
We have this priceless Gift and Eternal life to look forward to. All of God's true Believers will be together for all eternity in Love, Happiness, Peace, and Immortality. There will be an absence of everything negative and painful. We will leave these old broken down, worn out bodies for new ones that will never age or fail! Let's rejoice in our Salvation! Don't let anyone bog you down with issues about things mentioned in the Bible that have nothing to do with Salvation!
Focus on the Gift.
Focus on the Love.
Focus on your purpose.
Be Blessed!

28th Entry - Under Attack
Dearest Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
First and foremost, I beg your forgiveness for not being able to post any entries for so long.
I have been suffering from the side effects of my medications which has left me very fatigued and in bed 14-16 hours a day. In addition, with all of the Physical therapy in my right hand (due to the fall in Feb) my mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome kicked into high gear. It seems like my pinky finger will never bend the middle joint again. I had to have surgery on it on August 5th. Things were coming along fine until on August 19th when I stepped on a patio stone between my driveway and the skirting of my mobile home. Well, there was nothing under that stone for 12"! I stepped right on that stone. My foot was lodged in the hole and I fell forward. Yes, I landed on the hand that just had surgery, skinned both elbows & right knee, got a huge bump on my shin bone where it hit the next stone still in place, and hurt my back!
Can you see how obvious Satan is?
Can you see how he is attacking me?
Do you want to know why?
As you know by now, God led me to move here and has been Blessing me. I joined a Bible Study group here at the senior mobile home park where I live. About 30 people gather once a week and we are led by a Christian Brother who has a heart for God. I have really been Blessed being a part of this group. I am finding out the I and my daughter are not the only ones God called to move right here. There are several residents here with amazing testimonies similar to mine. One of the Christian Sisters invited me to their ladies' group of other Christian women who support each other and grow in the Holy Spirit. I have learned and grown so much! Now this next bit may shock you, knowing how I feel about churches, but I have started attending a church and although I don't agree with everything, I really do enjoy the fellowship.
So can you see how upset Satan is?
The Evil One knows that this is one of my missions. People around the world know of my hardships, struggles, and Blessings. God is being Glorified despite rough times!
I boldly declare the Jesus the Messiah is the ONLY acceptable sacrifice for our sins, His Spirit lives within me, and has Blessed me with gifts of the Spirit. There is a Spiritual Revival of the TRUE Christians (The Body) in the world today, in this neighborhood, in my heart and in YOUR heart too!
I thank you for all of your encouraging messages, Prayers, and Faithfulness.
Learn from my experiences, good and bad, and keep serving our Loving God.
Speak to Him.
Listen to Him.
Exalt Him.
Be Blessed!

27th Entry - The Miracle of Prayer
Greetings in the Holy Name of Our Savior, Jesus, the Messiah!
Prayer is not all about telling God how sorry you are for your sins, nor is it all about telling Him your needs & desires, nor is it about telling Him you want to be healed, etc. Prayer is also about LISTENING. No, it is not wrong to tell God your needs, desires, repentance, etc. Successful, effective Prayers involve active listening to God and for His will in your life. When you ask a question or make a request, listen for His reply. Keep listening. Keep Praying.
Your Prayers have kept me on the Right Track in following God. I firmly believe that God led me and my daughter to this part of the country. We have found others with a similar testimony. We have joined a wonderful Bible study on Thursday mornings in the clubhouse where we live. We also found out about a women's Bible & Prayer gathering every Friday morning! What a wonderful Blessing! The Holy Spirit is not only moving in my life, but in the lives of others too.
I Pray for each one of you who take the time to read, follow, and share my blog. God wants to Bless you for your Faithfulness to Him and the true Church - the Saved Followers of Christ. His Holy Spirit lives inside of each member of His Church and desires for us to be happy and strong. Each day we are here on this planet we are one day closer to Paradise. How we live our Christian lives and walk our Christian walk depends on our Love for God and our willingness to serve Him. Would your family, co-workers, friends, neighbors, or casual acquaintances say you are a kind, loving Christian?
This month has been a very difficult one financially. About 2 weeks ago our car died in the grocery store parking lot. It was the alternator. We had to take the rent money to pay for the repair. So how am I going to pay the lot rent? I have NO idea! But God does! I really need you all to Pray hard for my financial needs. Pray that somehow, some way, God will provide as He always does.
As I encourage you to hang in there during difficult situations, I am hanging on as well. Isn't it wonderful to know that we are hanging on to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Holy Creator of all! You just can't get any better than that!
Please Pray for me.
Please Pray for you.
Please Pray.
Please Listen.
Please Praise Him!
Please Be Blessed.

26th Entry - Christian Maturation
Greetings in the Holy Name of Our Savior, Jesus, the Messiah!
When I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I thought life would be easier, nicer. Yet it seemed to be anything but that! I prayed, followed His directions (as much as I could) and tried to be Faithful. But it seemed that I was not progressing in Spiritual/Christian maturity. In my Prayer time I would ask God why He wasn't listening to me, etc. While awaiting His response, He zapped into my thick head that in addition to accepting His precious gift of Salvation, I must turn away from my old ways and habits. That means a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction! Oh, and this turning away is not just my actions, but my thoughts and attitude as well. In addition, I had to change my daily habits to include Prayer and Bible time with God.
Being a Christian in this world is NOT easy! We first start out as babes in Christ and continue to grow/mature in the Spirit. As we grow, we gain strength, knowledge, and wisdom in our Christian life and walk with God.
I Prayed for patience once. That was an eye opener. How do you learn patience? By having your patience tried, over and over again.
In the beginning of this blog I was at my wit's end. I asked God to deliver me from the burden of poverty for over NINE (9) years! Trust me, things got worse before they got better.
Praying for each other gives us strength in the Spirit as you have seen me grow and mature as a Servant of God. Your Prayers have helped me survive many difficult issues and situations. I hope my Prayers have Blessed and strengthened you too.
The Bible tells us "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint". You are witness to how I have waited on the Lord, and He has richly Blessed me not only with my needs, but with this worldwide Prayer chain blog.
Sisters and Brothers in Christ, hang in there. Don't give up! Walk in Love with your Creator and go boldly to His Throne in the Name of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. He said He "will NEVER leave us or forsake us". God never breaks His promises.
Walk with Him.
Talk with Him.
Love Him.
Be Blessed.

25th Entry - Bloom Where You Are Planted!
Greetings in the Holy Name of Our Savior, Jesus, the Messiah!
I saw this motivational poster which was a picture of a dry, rocky ground with a beautiful flower growing up through the cracks. It was flourishing in the most hostile environment! It reminded me of the scriptures about how if God feeds the grass in the fields, how much more does He take care of you!
Being sick, in pain, hungry, poor, homeless, rejected, abused, etc. can make you wonder how it is even possible to flourish in such hostile conditions. Should we just give up? Although some of us seem to endure more hardships than others, we MUST press on toward the goal of Glorifying our Creator and Savior. The hard times are when we are growing and/or learning the most. Since only God knows what is coming up in our future, we must trust Him to deliver us through the hard times.
I went back and re-read my blog from the beginning (again). Do you remember how desperate and confused I was? Do you remember how I wrote about having no furniture, etc.? Well, I would like to update you on that progress. We now have two (yes, 2) sofas, chairs for our dinner table, an small recliner, a microwave, toaster, mixer, refrigerator, and best of all, we both are sleeping in our own (not sharing) queen sized beds! Although we have been washing our clothes in the bathtub for the past 8+ months and desperately need a washer, we are grateful for all that God (and His people) have Blessed us with. We have learned to endure the hard times and wait on God.
Sometimes well meaning people will give us broken items and/or expired food from the food bank. We never disparage their well meaning efforts.
Because of your fervent Prayers for me and my daughter, God has heard you! He has not only Blessed me with my needs, He has Blessed me with this blog which has morphed into my Mission to serve and Glorify God.
No matter what hardship you are going through, God is there with you. Pray, listen, wait, learn.
Every day I bring each one of you reading this blog to the Throne of God for His Mercy, Healing, Blessing, Patience, and Guidance.
Take a deep breath.
God Loves you!

24th Entry - Unconditional Love
Greetings in the Name of our Savior, Jesus the Messiah!
Have you noticed that a lot of people who call themselves Christians apparently do not understand what God's Unconditional Love really is?
Most all "Religions" put conditions on God's Love. You can't be this or you must do that. How disrespectful to our Divine Creator and Savior! God tells us in His Word (The Bible) that in order to become part of His Family, you must accept Jesus' (The prophesied Messiah, The Ultimate Lamb of God) Blood as the only Sacrifice for redemption of your sins. With that, acknowledging that He was born of a Virgin, lived a sinless life as a human being, sacrificed His Perfectness for you, and arose from the grave in His Godly proof that He overcame human death and lives forever in Heaven. We can be a part of His family, enjoying the riches of His Kingdom for ever and ever!
NO WHERE in the Bible does it say that there any other conditions to becoming part of His family. Therefore He accepts criminals, mean/hateful people, unmarried cohabitators, and yes, even homosexuals! When church goers sing the invitation song "Just As I Am" it should mean just that. Get over your own prejudices and accept God's Perfect Will.
Have you ever wondered why Jews no longer use a blood sacrifice to atone for their sins? When did God change His mind? He didn't. No matter how you cut it, God has ALWAYS required a blood sacrifice from an innocent mammal. He came in the form of a human and sacrificed His Holy Blood as the only acceptable offering to purge our sins. He adopts us into His Family and NEVER reneges on His Promises. In Jewish law, a parent can disown their birth children, but are strictly prohibited from disowning an adopted child.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
John 3:16
If you are reading this post, that means you are still alive. That means that God's Perfect Plan is still working in your life. You still have something to do here.
It has taken me a long time to realize this and I now submit to His will with every beat of my heart.
Although I thought I started this blog as a cathartic attempt to preserve my sanity in difficult times, I truly believe that God inspired me to start and continue with it. I hope to encourage everyone that though we hit some very difficult situations in this life, God is always there taking care of us. We cannot see the future, but God does. It is impossible to figure out why and what He has in store for our future. We must have Faith like a child (His Child) and continue on our journey through this life. The relationship we have with God is very personal, unique, and intimate. As your Sister in Christ, I Pray for every one of you who is reading this. I also Pray for those who haven't made that leap of Faith yet. Remember what I said in an earlier post about if I am wrong about this whole God thing then poof, I turn into dust. However if YOU are wrong about this God thing, you lose your opportunity of eternal happiness and have sentenced yourself to the exact opposite, eternal suffering and pain. Is is worth the risk?
God is Good. God is Love. God is Patient. God is Kind.
These are the behaviors we followers of Christ must exemplify.
Be Blessed.

23rd Entry - The Last Week of the Month
Greetings in the name of our Messiah, Jesus the Christ!
The last week of the month is always hard for people who receive their income once a month. Food runs short, toilet paper runs out (we use paper towels, napkins collected from fast food restaurants, whatever works, etc.), and transportation funds have dried up. Budgeting, planning, and living within your means help alleviate this problem, but it is always tough in the last week of the month. Because of your Prayers and good wishes, the last week of the month is getting less and less stressful! In addition, I Praise God and you faithful Prayer warriors, that the mess with my food stamps has been straightened out (after 7 months of aggravation) and my daughter & I will be getting a reasonable allotment starting May 1st! Additionally, I have been approved for Long Term Home Care and my daughter/caregiver will receive a meager stipend (8 & 1/2 hours per week)! Although this is not much money, it is more than we have coming in now.
Can you see how God hears our Prayers and Blesses us? Has God been Blessing you or are you still in the "waiting on God" stage? The latter stage is always the hardest. We have needs and want it now! In God's Perfect Will your needs will be met and your Prayers will be answered.
Religions are man made and are the interpretation of what they think God is and wants. They create confusion. God clearly tells us in His Holy Word that He is NOT the author of confusion. Your relationship with God is intimate and personal. Judging others by their Religion cannot please God. We are only accountable to God, NOT man.
This life is not easy for the true Christians. God tells us in his Holy Word (The Bible), that He is NOT the God of this world. This Earth is not our home! Our Home is with God in Heaven for all eternity! Our Rewards will be given when we arrive at our True Home. God tells us that our rewards must go through fire before they are distributed to us. The deeds we did for our own gratification are like wood, hay, and stubble. The will be destroyed by the fire. However, the deeds we did for the Glory of God, with a true and pure heart are like gold, silver, and precious stones. Those will endure the fire and be given to you to behold for all eternity in Paradise.
Ten million thank-yous cannot describe the gratitude for your faithful Prayers and support you have given me. I have grown from the very depths of despair, especially in the first few posts, to God Blessing me and directing me to live according to His Will. He can and will do the same for you.
Be Blessed and know that you are Loved and Highly Favored in God's Eyes.
