HOPE

I've been wanting to take part in Disciple story at the church for awhile now.. they have offered classes and held 2 day events but the timing was never right ..then my friend posted she is taking the class starting this wednesday and I thought "I could do that!"...So I signed up and they gave me about 2 hours of prework to do which at first was intimidating but it was quite enjoyable and makes you think back on your life ..kinda like a reevaluation if you will of your top ten high points in life and top ten low points in life..For me I started when I got married until now (back in 2002). My top ten high points was getting married, the births of each of my children, my girls graduating from college, my job in the ER, and some low points were my husband's unbelief, my mom almost dying, my father died, Covid and all the crazy mandates that I had to fight (even lost my job at first but was able to get it back thanks to our Governor). So through all this I was to find one word that describes all this...well this morning I Woke up and started talking to God about it and he gave me the word "Hope"...Someone acutally called me Hope as they thought that was my name awhile ago..then my dad is buried in the section of the Cemetery called "Hope"..one of my best friends gave me a cross on Sunday with the word Hope in the center..then I got to thinking well I had Hope that my marriage would be God centered, I had hope that my mom would live and she did all thanks to GOD who healed her, I have hope that my children will graduate from college and become great nurses, I have hope that one day My husband will confess his faith in the Lord again, I have the heavenly hope that my father is in heaven looking down on me, I have hope that God will heal all those affected by Covid and the Vaccine..and I could go on but I won't...I also was told the word "fair"..as that's what my name really means "fair one". I am a big advocate for being fair in life and standing for the truth as well. So my 2 words before even starting class is "Fair Hope". Maybe while doing the class those words could change But i don't think so..it's amazing I have the 2 words that describe my disciple story before even starting and that we serve such a GREAT GOD...I just LOVE it when he gives me what I need when I need it..

Be Ready!!!

Back on Dec 24th 2024 to be exact I was in the shower and the Holy spirit told me "Be Ready!"..I thought ready for what..your second coming, what could happen in the next few days in society, etc...what do i need to be ready for? Then an image appeared on my mirror of a snake head and then a cross next to it..and I thought maybe he wants me to be ready for the battle between good and evil (the final battle ) or even the current battle since we live in a fallen world...needless to say I was at bible study yesterday and we had a guest speaker and she spoke about Being ready...at first it didn't hit me but then a lightbulb clicked on in my head and the God said..remember when I told you to be ready..pay attention...She talked about keeping your lamps lit/burning, being wise, and looking for God and being ready...you don't know the hour on which he will return. God is SOOOOOOOO awesome as he ALWAYS reiterats or confirms what he wants you to know..it's so exciting when that happens..so no matter what we all need to BE READY!!!

3 signs

Yesterday was a hard day as it was the day my oldest went back to college..my youngest starts kindergarten tomorrow and my middle child will be moving off to college as well this upcoming weekened...As I was getting gas yesterday I noticed at the pump that I paid 33.31 cents to be exact and it filled 11.333 gallons. As you know from previous posts God gives me the number 333 to show me his presence or I should say to say "i'm here " or a God wink if you will..33 is age of Jesus when he died and 3 is Trinity. Then I go to work and one of my patients family members has a "Life is Good" shirt on and that was my dad's favorite saying...I then get home and sitting at kitchen table and I look down and there's a "heart" on the floor..It was actually a piece of tape but it was in the shape of a heart. God is awesome and I'm thankful that I can see all that he shows me..It's my hearts desire to not miss anything he wants to show me as I feel it's all a blessing from him. I then read in my book "Come away my Beloved" this morning.."The fool shall not discern the value, and shall cast aside great treasure. The practiced eye knoweth the true worth of a gem and shall not let it escape him. Thus shall ye be in spiritual matters. Train thine eye to discern that which is of true worth, and let it not escape thee." WOW!!! Amen and Amen! On a seperate note the Lord put it on my heart earlier this week to write on an index card "God loves you" and put a stone with scripture verse on it and give it out in my Uber delieveries...and this mornings message at church was "Come as you Are" and How God loves everyone no matter what..we are called to love others but not their sin! Amen!!

angels and rainbows

Before I started work yesterday my mom and I were having a conversation about having faith and how God gives us signs for those that believe and are actively seeking him..then met a patient that kinda reiterated the same thing and then as I was leaving work I saw a rainbow in the cloud and I took a pic of it and saw briefly an object to the right but thought i'll just look at my pic when I get home. My daughter Ashley also works where I work and she took a pic of the rainbow as well but she parked in different spot near front so she got a different angle..In her pic the flag is directly under than rainbow and on closer inspection there's an angel riding a horse or animal to the right of the rainbow and looks like a spear or sword coming out of it's mouth...she then asked me if there are any verses relating to a sword coming out of mouth and I said in Revelation 19:15 " From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron.".. Wow! I then looked at the pic I took and I saw an angel to the right of the rainbow as well but this one is sitting and looks like it's praying. So AMAZING!!! I know we all need to be in prayer for our nation especially as we enter this upcoming election. Things are crazy and will probably get crazier but we have to know no matter what God is in Control and He ALWAYS wins!!!!!!!!!

Prayer of Protection

Last week before I went to work I was feeling very overwhelmed by just a lot of things hitting me at once and feeling spritually attacked...a few weeks prior I had my refrigerator freezer go out and was told it would be cheaper to replace, then I was upstairs and heard dripping and realied my shower was leaking from upstairs and was told I will need to completely need to remove the tub as the seal was warped and there was decay underneath from the leak, and then I found out at my job that we were cyberattacked and now having to chart old school (paper charting) which was going to increase the stress dramatically...So I sent out a prayer request to my bible study group asking for protection..I then went to my bible as I felt there was going to be a word I needed to hear today from my daily reading bible...turned to the day's reading and one of the scriptures was psalm 59 "Prayer of protection"....WOW!!!!! God is sooooooooo Amazing and he does these things to let us know that he has it...Nothing is overlooked by him and it was a love tap from him! Another cool thing that happened this week as my 5 year old is graduating preschool is that my facebook memory feed showed that my fixing to be high school graduate gradated the same day 13 years prior that my now 5 year old is graduating preschool! AMAZING!!!

Butterfly

I went to a 3 day Lauren Daigle Concert in Miramar Beach this past week (It was amazing) and on the 3rd day I was so tired from the week and also from the day as we had to get up early to go to a women's Christian conference called e women in Pensacola for the day so I was almost not going to go to the 3rd night of worship but then I just perservered and went anyway and I'm glad I did..one of the opening singers was John Batiste whom I've never heard of before and his music was very upbeat. I was admiring the clouds as the sunsets had been sooo great...I noticed these clouds in front of me and it looked like angel wings..then john states he's going to sing a song called "Butterfly"..well you can read about my previous posts on the butterfly and it's significance but in a nut shell the Lord sent 3 yellow butterflies while I was walking on my dad's birthday a few years ago (he died in 2018) and So the butterfly has great significance to me and currently I'm actally hatching caterpillars that I got off of amazon to watch the transformation process which in of itself is a miracle. So while I'm listening to the lyrics of this song...I notice a butterfly forms in the cloud!!! It was so amazing and the lyrics are about your loved one flying to heaven ...The very next song he then sings is "you are my sunshine"..and my dad used to sing that song and he liked to call every female he me "hello sunshine". It was truly amazing and I felt it was a love tap from my dad. https//youtu.be/Jx813IBmzdA?si=NUQQaVoyxPMh2_jD

Rainbows and healing

This week has been Amazing with so many revelations from God as we celebrate Holy week (Good friday/and his Resurrection). It started Last Sunday (which was palm Sunday)...I was in the mountains in SC and there was this little white church close to my inlaws cabin that I went to and I've been there before..there has always been a great message preached every time so I felt this would be no different..When we got there one of the church members was teaching bible study on healing and laying on of hands..he was sayimg sometimes the healing doesn't come this side of heaven despite praying and if he healed everyone there would be no death/heaven..it kinda reiterated what I felt God has been convicting me on these past few weeks..he said instead of focusing on the problem I need to turn to God and ask him to heal my patients...When I did that I have witnessed multiple miracles so far (one guy had CHF and had bad oxygen level and I saw him come off his bipap and just 3 l via Nasal Cannula and then also weaned completely off his nitro drip (after praying )and wanted to go home ..he was later discharged the next day (and the Pastor told me he went and visited him and he recommited his life to Christ)..another pt had metastatic bone cancer and had changes in vision so I prayed for clear CT scan and it was clear! God is Always there waiting to be asked..sometimes I lose sight like I said was focusing too much on the problem and not on God. The preacher then Got up and talked about Not fearing which was very good message as well...We then went and hiked at a pretty waterfall and then took my friends back to their hotel so they could catch flight early next day..As I was saying good bye to them (which was very hard since I haven't seen them in 6 years and knew it might be awhile till I see them again)..I looked into sky and saw not one but 2 rainbow clouds and a Cross in the sky!!! It was a a great ending to a GREAt trip! During the week I attended our Mary night (basically a bible study once a month).. a time to cease doing and spend time with Jesus. Jill led and she reinacted the foot washing that Jesus performed for his disciples. It was so very moving..Jill spoke prophetic words from the Holy spirit over each of us and I was told to "be ready"...not sure what that means but when I look it up in scripture it says to be ready for his second coming...Which I do feel that I am! I later went to a birthday party for one of my friends and I shared mom's healing testimony with another lady there ..she then spoke a propehetic word over me (I do believe people have that gift from God) and she said she saw me driving a golf cart (I had just taken care of 2 golf cart injuries the night before..) and then she saw me in a pink c-130 plane and said "you are carrying a heavy load..and you have been gifting people with your presence and through your prayers (dropping little packages to people) and the Lord is pleased with your obedience and that I blessed her as well by sharing my mom's testimony..very sweet..and I defintely felt lighter.. Then today after Church as I was driving home my kids looked up through the moon roof of my car and said "there's a rainbow around the sun!!!".. I looked up and it was there!!! SOOOOO Amazing!!! God is so GREAT and I hope you all had a GREAT day celebrating our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
