(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!

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!

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…
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.

Their land was barren and unprofitable, as…

So, they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3 Over the past few weeks, we have talked about the seasons we all go through and the challenges that come into our lives.

See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the Children of God! And so, WE ARE! For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now Children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming].

I had a wonderful birthday on Thursday, celebrating 63 years living on planet earth with my beloved husband and my amazing sister-in-Christ, Diane Joffe. Since it was Veteran’s Day, and all three of us are Veterans, we went out to Applebee’s to enjoy our Veteran’s meal.
