8 September 2023 Give up one Word

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

If I had a word or phrase I could give up it’s “just. “ I usually use this word to make excuses for not doing something.

Deuteronomy 16:20New International Version

20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.

7 September 2023 Double Rainbow

It never ceases to be a thing of wonder when I see a rainbow. We got some nice rain yesterday and afterwards was a full rainbow and then when I looked closer it was a double!

Double rainbow

I think of all the claims made on this phenomenon and it makes rainbows so complicated and divisive. The rainbow is a phenomenon for all to see and appreciate. Whenever I see one I am filled with such hope and wonder! So it was a double dose seeing two rainbows shining together!

How is the formation of rainbow naturally?

A rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets, present in the atmosphere. A rainbow is always formed in a direction opposite to that of the Sun. The water droplets act like small prisms.

Insight into Your Spiritual Awakening : Prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors

Genesis 9:13-16

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 

15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 

16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

3 September 2023 Why Do I Blog

Why do you blog?

Hello to you. How is your weekend? I’m pooped. I went to church and got groceries and feel like I ran a marathon! I’m so out of shape! I’m looking forward to the Tai chi exercises through the VA starting on the 11th.

I have been blogging for a long time. All the way back to MySpace and Newsvine! The main reason I started blogging was to help people and get my story out in the world. I believe if even one person, even if it’s just me, has been helped by my messages then I have completed my goal.

Malachi 3:1-5New International Version

3 “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire,will come,” says the Lord Almighty.

But who can endure the day of his coming?Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.

5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.

2 September 2023 Deliverer

Hello there. How are you? I’m writing late today. I was really tired today. I’m trying my hand at a poem. Thinking of Jesus’s return.

Deliverer

Through the clouds I see his flame

Through the stars I hear his name

Yeshua oh Yeshua the deliverer is coming home

Foot fall on the Mount of Olives he does roam

Dressed in white the groom has come for his bride

All the trials of the world he will push aside

Peace flows amidst the wreckage we have made

Before us all there is coolness in his shade

The end to suffering is all he knows

The burning ceases and life giving water flows

Luke 22:39-44New International Version

Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt downand prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[a]

1 September 2023 Feeling

How are you feeling right now?

How am I feeling right now? I’m feeling ok. Trying to have a attitude of gratitude. Some days are harder than others to do that. I constantly have a weird pulling in my ears that makes me anxious. It’s very debilitating. I have some things I listen to on YouTube that help- Relax For Awhile with Joan and Jason Stephenson are my favorites.

31 August 2023 Daily Habit

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

The daily habit that improves my quality of life is walking. Each day I try to walk around the block even if I don’t want to. Taking a walk each each day is the one thing I have tried to consistently do. It’s not easy for me to do with the swaying issues I have going on in my head. Sometimes I feel like a shambling zombie I’m so stiff but I’m not giving up!

1 John 2:3-6

3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

30 August 2023 Last Online Search

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

The last thing I searched for online was a positive message of hope in the bible. The reason was to reinforce that no matter how things seem right now hope can be found. It’s kind of like when my ex and I lived in an apartment complex that got made into section 8. When we walked Sam there we always found the beauty. By looking at the pictures from that time you would never guess it was a dump!

As I’ve gotten older and been through some things I wish I hadn’t, I still try to find beauty where I’m at – hope. it’s difficult these days!

Hebrews 11:1-2New International Version

Faith in Action

11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope forand assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

29 August 2023 TV shows

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

Hello there. How are you? Todays prompt makes me think of watching Capt Kangaroo, Little House on the Prairie, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Sesame Street and Star Trek. These are just a couple of the tv shows I watched as a kid.

https://www.misterrogers.org/

Mr. Rogers
Bob Keeshan , Capt Kangaroo

Captain Kangaroo is an American children’s television series that aired weekday mornings on the American television network CBS for 29 years, from 1955 to 1984, making it the longest-running nationally broadcast children’s television program of its day.[2][3] In 1986, the American Program Service (now American Public Television, Boston) integrated some newly produced segments into reruns of past episodes, distributing the newer version of the series to PBS and independent public stations until 1993.

Little House on the Prairie

1 Peter 1:21New International Version

21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

28 August 2023 What’s Going On?

Hello to you. I’ve been surfing random news from various sources and it seems like something big is building. Everything from natural disasters, bank closures, human trafficking, aliens, a really bad President – conspiracy theories about what’s happening with fires. I saw even something about Old Faithful potentially erupting. On every front we are being corralled into fear. I won’t let myself succumb to it. We’ve been through times like this so many times before. We just didn’t have the internet to feed it to us all at once from so many different angles. I don’t believe these are the end times in the way people think. I believe we are having a revelation- a great reveal. Things that were hidden are being brought to light…finally.

Revelation 3:20New International Version

20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
