Just want to say how awesome my Daddy God is!
Many of you know how long I have been out of work, it has now been long enough to not have my unemployment ALL GONE, so you know where I am. While I am concerned, I must say I have an incredible peace.
It was on Monday that I realized that I had reached the end of my unemployment, I had thought so since my last check 2 weeks ago had been less than usual, but you just never know. Anyway, I had the assurance on Monday, no more funds coming in! My first inclination was to cry and say, why am I not finding a job, Lord, what is up with this? But I got myself quite and I let him minister to me and to let me know, I am not seeing the whole picture.
When Joseph was thrown in to the pit by his brothers, I am sure the thought crossed his mind, why me Lord? Why me? I have seen the dreams, I rec'd the dreams as mine, I know the plans you have for me are to prosper me and my family and not for me to rot in the pit. As I grabbed hold of this, things have begun to shift.
Tuesday, I was blessed with $20.00 for gas, then I was blessed with a Spag lunch served to me, then I was blessed with a gift card for $20.00 for gas or whatever I needed. This was very humbling for me, a giver! I kept thinking on Joseph and the bigger picture. Well, we aren't finished yet. Then I was given an opportunity to clean someones' home, what a blessing! All of this in less than 24 hours of having the image of Joseph in a pit and gaining a new understanding.
And, while cleaning that home today, I received a call today for a job interview @ Sacred Heart! Oh and when I got home today, I had received in the mail this beautiful picture, actually 2 of them drawn for me and $10.00 in cash.
So there! God is so Great, he IS my provider and will take care of my every need.
Thank you God, I love you and want the whole world to know how great you are.
Blessings to you all, and those of you who blessed me that receive this I pray God's unlimited favor upon you and your family always.
This was sent out around 4:pm on Wed afternoon~
About 4:30pm, I had an encounter with a Burglar, yes I stopped a burglar at my home. He was caught in the act on stealing a lawn mower from my side patio, which is pretty much enclosed except for the screen. He had to climb over a chain link fence and reach in and unlock the door to enter the patio area. It took telling him several times to needed to leave before he finally left and the Police came. He kept telling me it was OK, my husband said he could come and get the mower.(well we know that was a lie) The Police put a watch on my house. God had already put a watch on it though! GOD IS SO GREAT!
Thursday, my sister went to Emory to have her test to map out the 2nd aneurysm, and well this time God really showed off, for He did not just move it to a different location, He REMOVED IT ALL TOGETHER! I was able to share this testimony @ Girl Talk. The medical info is all documented!
And it continues.......
Friday morning, I had my interview @ Sacred Heart, I think it went well, the hours are great and the days are great, 4 ten hour days Mon - Thurs. My favorite shift! I used to work this when I was with 911 in GA.
After my interview I met with a friend at church and we had an incredible time of prayer and intercession at the altar for about 2 hours. It was great!
From there I went to buy some groceries with the money God provided from that cleaning job. While at the gro store almost everything I needed to get was reduced or on sale. More favor.
While shopping my phone rang and 3 guesses? It was Sacred Heart calling me in for my 2nd interview. It is Tuesday morning @ 9am so please keep me in your prayers.
Thursday evening I believe the Holy Spirit used my daughter and myself to plant some seeds in an Agnostic and it is my prayer the those seeds will be watered and then harvested for the kingdom.
Saturday, He comforted me and gave me rest the kind that you get only from him!
Today, Sunday at church, can I say we have an awesome Daddy God. He blessed me with a new outfit which when I saw the size I thought well I will be able to wear it soon, well sooner than I thought. It fits perfectly! And someone came up to me and said I found this in my pocket and felt God wanted me to bless you with this, yes, he provided me with some more cash.
All this is within seven days!
Oh and my daughter went to church with a friend of hers today and her friend sent a gift by way of my daughter for me. A Pampering Spa Set, all about feet! It smells so good.
He just keeps WOWing me!
When we leave it all up to Him, if we can just take a step back and let Him do what He does best, we truly have no worries. He takes care of all things.
He has provided money for gas for my car, he has provided food for my table, he has provided clothes for me to wear, he has provided something to pamper me as well. He provided a seed to plant and it was planted.
In all things, all glory was given to Him!
I pray this testimony of His graciousness will encourage you in whatever circumstance you are in and allow Him to move those mountains for you!

July 2, 2008
Well, I am guessing I will be claiming 52 Days of Miracles here! How's that!
For those of you that do not go to my church, Jubilee Intl., we have just stepped into a proclamation of "52 Days of Miracles" To get the main info behind this please read on Nehemiah rebuilding the walls of the city in 52 days!
I am claiming this for myself, personally! To claim anything we must walk in it daily! Just as we are to walk in the will of God for our lives daily! We must grab on to it with that child like faith we are to cling on to!
Many of you who know me know one of my greatest desires is to never ever lose my Child Like Faith I have in my Daddy God! I trust Him in all things and in every way! The other day someone made a comment about me being barefoot, not a bad one, just a comment, but it brought to mind something my dad had said to me one time that wasn't so nice in how he meant it, He referenced that I could wear an evening gown and I would still want to be barefooted. I had laughed it off, but I knew his intention behind the remark. With this fresh in my mind, I asked God, why is it I so enjoy being barefooted. He took me to the children, and I noticed, many running around without their shoes on, ever notice how it seems the little ones always seem to prefer to be barefooted. I just smiled!
Alright, so I believe the last information rec'd was Monday morning! Catching up through Sunday!
Monday~ We realized we needed to get groceries to last 8 days and understand this is a testimony of the favor of God not to boohoo at all, it is important to say some things in order to see His faithfulness. Me being without work has had an unfavorable affect on this household, especially with cars breaking down or being wrecked and having to be replaced and life in general, making an unexpected trip home for a family emergency etc.!
Well, I get to the grocery store with very little funds, and I was able to get get enough for a 3 day menu with lunches from leftovers. for $12.60. I found that to be absolutely great! Another blessings of favor from GOD. I am not talking about ramen noodles either! ;-) It isn't steak either! But good food!
Tuesday~ Even with all the favor I have been blessed with, I was a little concerned about 3 days of groceries not stretching to the 8 days we needed. I remembered I had a check coming to me for some child care and knew it would not be cut for another week but decided I would see if I could get it early, so I sent an e-mail, and as I was writing it, I felt in my spirit I should not send it, because God had provided everything for us. Well, I sent it anyway! Dummy me! ;-) ! Not five minutes later I rec'd a call asking me to do some work that day. God is so good. I was also blessed with a wonderful, wonderful lunch, a garden salad and a fruit salad, fit for a QUEEN!
And LADIES, here we go again, HE provided a new 2 piece blouse set for me. I love the color and it is so beautiful! It's brand new!
Also, I had my second interview on Tuesday morning! I know it went well! So continue to pray over this with me for favor. One person said I would know by the end of the week another said it would be next week.
Wednesday~ I wait in sheer delight to see what He has planned for today! I had the best sleep, I fall asleep praising and adoring Him for his great favor.
I am telling each and everyone of you to claim this time, the time we are in right now, claim it as your time of favor. Claim it with all your might. Praise Him for each and everything He does for you, no matter how big or how small it may be. Let someone know what he is doing for you! Boast on God! He is worthy of all our praise!
Many of you know I have had put before me 5 Designs for T-Shirts. It is my desire to go to Africa on our Medical Missions Trip this year in September. The Holy Spirit placed this before me as funding my way to Africa and to advance the Gospel. I have gone as far as I can, I had one shirt printed and was really disappointed with the quality of the shirt. I am wanting to have 3 dozen of the 5 shirts printed before the end of the month so I can have time to get them out and sold. Not working, I am in a holding pattern. I have quotes ranging from $900 to $1440 for the 180 shirts. I will have to sell each shirt and have more printed and sell an additional 18 or so shirts to make the $3400 for the trip. A good bit of the money for the trip is due much earlier than the departure date of Sept 18th. I have already missed getting in the $100.00 deposit. But as you can see from all of my testimonies I have faith that God will provide! He put before me the vision and will supply the provision! I would like to add that included in my vision for the shirts is to have to capability to support mission trips for others! One Day to support a whole team going out to spread and advance the Gospel of Jesus! That is my desire and my goal. I would like to mention a special thank you to the following who have helped in getting "2 Fish Ministries" off the ground, but not in any special order because you are all special, Andy and Beth, Bill, Cindy, Karina, Juli and to each of you who have prayed for us. Many many blessings and favor upon your families in everything you do! And of course, my Daddy God, Jesus who died for me and showed me all the love my Daddy God has for me and you, and the Holy Spirit for his constant comfort when everything around me seems to be falling apart, He gives me the comfort to always keep going.
Blessings to you all and stay tuned for the miracles of today!

July 4th 2008
Happy 4th of July and Happy Birthday America and Happy Birthday Greg, my brother!
My last writing was Wed morning looking forward with much anticipation and expectancy for the day!
Wednesday~I finished up on some work from the day before and was able to enjoy a day beside a beautiful pool. The temperature was perfect with the slightest breeze. The only noise heard was the song of birds busy about their day and a couple of small planes flying overhead having fun in the sky. What more could someone ask for?
I was loving being in the pool and relaxing and taking in the Beauty and the Creations of our Creator. The warmth of the sun, the breeze, the cool water, the song of the birds. Doesn't that just make your heart smile? And oh yes, the sound of the airplane every now and then. I add this because it is something I love to do and it brings much joy to my heart when I hear an airplane fly by. I look up to see what kind it is and imagine flying with whoever it is. You see, I use to fly quite a bit. There is nothing like it. The beauty of it all. Being able to fly through the clouds and see a sun setting. I guess though if you don't like to fly this part would be boring so I will move forward.
As I was sitting on the top step of the pool thinking on my God and wondering with a day like this my Daddy God, I have no needs and really no wants, what are you going to do today for me to boast on? I sat there already knowing He had given me the perfect day, that in itself is worth boasting on! Well, He blessed me to tears! He began an art show for me in the water of the pool. I can not begin to find the words to express the creations He performed for me right there in the pool. As I looked at the refreshing water and through to the bottom of the pool and felt the ever slight breeze, He began to create on the canvas located at the bottom of the pool. It is the most intricate designs I have ever seen. The swirls would form like ocean waves crashing in to each other and then come together like they were synchronized in perfect timing. Then it would all become still and motionless and then another little breeze would come and the art work would begin again. This went on for quite a while. Now this is something you have to understand. While I am saying there was a breeze, it was very slight, so slight that the leaf or two floating on the water on the pool was not affected by the breeze. So do you understand what I mean when I say this was an ArtShow from God? The pump was on in the pool but I have never witnessed what I saw from the currents of the water from a pool pump being on. The top of the water was completely still. This was so incredible, he blesses my heart so much. He wants to bless us all as we enjoy the things He has for us to make our hearts happy.
Are you taking time out to see what He has for you to enjoy each day? How much have you missed that He set aside for you each day and because you were too busy, you missed out on it? I am telling you all, it is in the seeking that you will find it all! Seek after Him, with all your heart, with all of your desparation, and not for a new out fit or money or groceries or things, but just for more of Him. He is so worthy just to spent time with Him like you would long to with a dear old friend. Pursue Him now! He has pursued you from the beginning of your time! How many blessings have you past by?
I have another thing from that perfect day but that is tucked away in my heart, it surpassed all things posted about. I give the honor of it all to my gracious Daddy God!
Thursday~ It is another day to take a couple of the kids out for fundraising to raise money for their trip to Kid's Camp. Picked up the Kids and we went out. Always praying for favor! The kids were great, being a brother and a sister of course they had their moments but all n all they worked pretty good together as a team. We had figured out what they still needed and I had been prepared to go out with them again next week to continue. We were only able to go out for a very short time in the morning due to "Girl Talk" a summer function we have at our church. I usually not able to attend because of working but with not working this summer I have been able to enjoy it. Well I have actually been to one for the whole thing and all the others I have been in the nursery with the little ones 4 and under! Many of you who really know me, know Gods' sence of humor really went to work on me in this department. I had originally said I would help one night a month in the nursery but only wanted babies. No 3 and 4 year olds, been there done that and was scared to death! ;-) Well, of course, the babies also include the 3 and 4 year olds. Yeah God! What an incredable blessing it has all been. They have all stole my heart! Now I have found my self getting invovled more and more with them, thus the every Thursday child care. They are GREAT, a little trying at times, but who isn't, right? I love them all!
OK, back to the fundraising and yes it was even in the rain, but we did not let that stop us, well in less than an hour we had all we needed, with a dear friend making it completed! The FAVOR AND BLESSING OF GOD IS UPON ME LIKE A SHIELD ROUND ABOUT ME!!!!!!
I telling you all, grab a hold of this, walk in this, grab it for your own! Watch and see what happens.
I rec'd an invite to go to music in the park and again a meal fit for the daughter of a King was prepared. The temperature was perfect, we had great parking, a great place to put our chairs and a wonderful meal, and enjoyed the people and the music. It was almost like a homecoming. I had been reminded about events around the 4th in my hometown, full of family events that gathered everyone to the park, fun by all. It was another great day filled with His goodness and graciousness.
Friday~ Well while the day is early, I will begin with this, I had an incredible night of sleep and slept in which I never do. I actually slept past 8am. I usually wake up before 6am with my back hurting, but not today!
This is our Nations 232nd birthday! I pray that each of you will take the time to pray over our Nation, all the Leaders in in our Government, that the Holy Spirit will pierce their heart to remember that GOD IS THE FOUNDATION of this GREAT LAND. REMEMBER ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR OUR PRECIOUS FREEDOM AND AS WE REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING, TAKE TIME TO REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE DIED AND THEIR FAMILIES. REMEMBER THAT IN OUR INDEPENDENCE WE ARE DEPENDANT ON THOSE WHO FIGHT TO KEEP US FREE. REMEMBER THE FIRST ONE WHO DIED FOR OUR FREEDOM, JESUS, HE DIED TO FREE US FROM OUR SINS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL ~
THIS IS jUNE 25TH THOUGH THE 4TH OF JULY!
YES THERE IS MORE
NEXT POST, LATER TODAY!
BLESSINGS~
