Have you ever heard of Iraan Texas? If not let me tell you about it. The town of Iraan was named after Ira and Ann Yates. They were poor herders who lived outside of Pecos, Texas. The land they lived on was not fertile enough to grow crops, so they herded sheep and other livestock. They struggled year after year to keep their small parcel of land from going into foreclosure. Their land was barren and unprofitable, as…
This weekend we are celebrating two loves of my life, my pastor, husband, best friend, and brother-in-Christ Anthony’s (Tony’s) birthday and my sweet sister Tonyea’s birthday! I am so fortunate our Father chose me to be loved and adored by two amazing human beings ever; I wasn’t easy to love. Most of you have read my testimony, if you haven’t, please read my book, “My Return Home to Innocence,” found on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/My-Return-Home-Innocence Tony and Tonyea were given a…
(Repost from 2016) I had written a different blog for this week; however, I woke up this morning with this blog in my heart. The Lord knows someone needs this blog this week, enjoy! Have you experienced your day going just fine, your emotions, mind, and heart are at peace, then suddenly, you get annoyed, curious, lost focus, or distracted by something or someone and they take your soul away from your peace and rest with the Lord?…
Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter,And we all are the work of Your hand. (Isaiah 64:8, Amplified) The potter of the universe woke up one morning and decided he was going to make a beautiful vessel made from clay to water the flowers in his paradise of life. So, the potter went down to earth where he found dirt needed to begin the process. He filled his bowl with water from…
As we look back at our previous blogs, our Father has prepared and is preparing an eternal Bride for His Son, Jesus Christ! He has taken meticulous care to ensure that she is everything He has dreamed of. He has invited her to His Kingdom. He also has cleansed her, and washed her with His Holy Spirit, and the precious blood of Jesus Christ. THE WORK IS FINISHED! Earth, Our Dressing Room to Take Off and Put On…
If you recall from Part 1, we have been summoned, cleansed, and are being prepared for our Father’s purposes in the Kingdom of God. One of our most amazing summonses is to be invited to The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I am not sure if it is a literal or symbolic affair but which ever one it is, what a great honor and privilege to be called and chosen for this illustrious banquet. So, today let’s examine the bride…
When we think of being saved for a purpose, most of the time, we think of our purpose as “Doing something for the Lord.” We may think, God has called me to be a ________. So, we do whatever it takes to try to make it happen. In our temporal existence on the earth, we may do that thing or things, whatever they may be to make God happy. But may I ask you a question, what is our…
Repost from August 2017 When the darkness through the people around us tries to influence us and we become passive by keeping quiet to get along, don’t be afraid to speak up and challenge the darkness trying to suppress us. Remember, JESUS LIVES WITHIN US AND HE IS THE ONLY LIGHT THEY WILL EVER SEE. AND, BECAUSE HE LIVES WITHIN US AND THROUGH US, HE WANTS TO BE THE LIGHT IN THEIR WORLD. Here is a repost from…
(Heaven Serenades are poems written to be read or sung, called Psalms) If you recall from a previous blog, “In the Fullness of Time,” like our brother, Job, our Father uses everything in our life, especially suffering, for His amazing purposes. We also learned, He uses it to draw us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. One of my favorite scriptures says, “After you have suffered for a little while, the God of ALL GRACE [who…
I had a different blog prepared for this week but our Father wants to share His heart with us today. If you read the article by the Washington Post this week stating “74 percent of the new cases of the Delta Variant were of people who had been vaccinated for the COVID-19.” It continued by saying, “Even though they were vaccinated, there were no deaths reported only symptoms of headaches, sore throats, and coughs.” With this in mind, I…
