4 Oct 2026 A Manna Mindset

Hello to you. Today was good. I was happy to see Pastor Jason up and well after his accident and of course seeing and hugging my friends Jera, Cheryl, Mark, Barbara and Jeannie. I was blessed by interacting with Cheryl’s little sweety girl Eleyana (spelling). She has the most beautiful curly blonde hair!

Toby had a lot of food for us to process. For example “kids become what they see not what we say.” I highly recommend your watching this link:

Glad to see Pastor Jason is ok!

After church I decided to buy breakfast at the Sunrise and put off grocery shopping til tomorrow after our ladies gathering. I had a half pumpkin spice waffle – so good! Tasted just like pumpkin pie. I so dread grocery shopping!

Spin of the World Prayer Wheel:

Dear Jesus, help us to spread your fragrance everywhere we go.
Flood our souls with your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly,
that our lives may only be a radiance of yours.
Shine through us, and be so in us,
that every person we should come in contact with
may feel your presence in our soul.
Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus.
Stay with us, and then we shall begin to shine as you shine;
so to shine as to be a light to others;
the light, Jesus, will be all from you.
None of it will be ours.
It will be you shining on others through us.
Let us thus praise you in the way you love best,
by shining on those around us.
Let us preach you without preaching:
not by words, but by our example,
by the catching force,
the sympathetic influence of what we do,
the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear for you.
Amen.

28 Sept 2025 Baptism

I was so nervous doing this but God lead me through it!

Hello to you! I’m home from breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe with family celebrating a big milestone in my walk to Jesus – baptism! I was so nervous taking this step but God surrounded me with his people to help me through it. When I sat down in the trough the water was very cold. I was shaking as Diana read my testimony and a part of me did not want to do what I was about to do. I felt the enemy trying to tug at me and question my decision but Pastor Jason, Diana and Jim helped me stay seated and be in the moment.

My testimony:

I love Jesus and taking this step today is so special to me. I was raised Roman Catholic and have always believed in God but have never truly surrendered to Jesus. Since getting here to Idaho 5 years ago I have been surrounded with evidence of Jesus’s love for me. My family and both the Nampa and Middleton Grace church’s have shown me the way! God is good!
