Good Morning Beloved,
The sun is shinning in through the window on this cool day after Christmas.. Bringing with it hope for a new day. As I sat this morning waking up thoughts were popping through my head and I am going to share them with you , may be jumbled up a bit but please stay with me as I tell you about my journey in thoughts. Well, here goes!
I was thinking about first impressions. How we meet people and instantly we judged them. And right on the tail of that thought, Matthew 7:1 came into mind... " Judge not, that ye be not judged".
O' how many times have I judged on the first impression.. Everyday I have to ask for forgiveness for something I have thought.
Then I made the leap ( in my thoughts) to ; we are all the same in the way we are conceived.
It takes a male sperm and female egg to make a baby, doesn't matter if it is in a test tube or the womb. It still takes a man and woman to make the baby. So we all start out the same but we don't all end up in the same place. We all get to make choices though , all of us make choices. No matter where we come from or how rich or poor, smart or not smart , we all make choices..
Every nation on this planet has heard about Jesus Christ and it is up to that nation to make choices.. The people of these nations have choices to make too.
Let's take another leap in my thoughts.
We can argue and argue but truth is truth no matter how you try to spin it... Just like in Math,
2+2 = 4 not 5. We cannot change the truth. The truth is God and Jesus and Holy Spirit are one and the same.. John 1:1 God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for you so you could spend eternity in heaven with Him. It is so simple... So, here is my last thought.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ into your heart? All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you of all your sins and believe that He has. Then a change will happen and you will want to be closer to Him and you will change . It is so simple and yet we make it so difficult.. It is as simple as this:
Jesus loves you and He wants to be a part of your everyday life. I hope you make this decision soon because the truth is Jesus is coming back soon and you don't want to miss it...
I love you all and really would like to see you make a decision you won't regret..
tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

What Does Christmas Mean To You?
Merry Christmas !!!
Hello Beloved,
Today I received a text from my granddaughter wishing me a Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, so that is what I am wishing you today!
I stopped by to see a friend of mine this morning and her granddaughter was there.... She told me what she had planned for her family this Christmas and to my surprise tears fell from my eyes and I had to get up and come home.... I came home and had a message on my telephone and it was about two woman from our church who had been taken and admitted to the hospital. So many emotions went through me... I knelt down and prayed and while praying it came to me. " What does Christmas mean to you?
Well, this is what Christmas means to me....
It is not about presents under the tree, or food we eat, or the lights, or the carols or any of the things
of Christmas. To me it is about caring and sharing with those you love. I think back on Christmas and I see my brother taking the " wrap" for me when I was the one who had unwrapped all the presents under the tree or my sister working in a bait shop ( she hated worms!) and spending her money on me a baby doll ( which I still have!) or my nieces and nephew and I sitting in the floor telling silly stories. I cant tell you what many gifts I received but I can still see the faces of the ones I shared the day with... I love those faces.... I miss those faces.... My mama and daddy and all of my sisters ( I was blessed with THREE!! ) my brother and brother in law. O' how I miss those days.
Now I have my own grandchildren, two , a boy and a girl... I love them so much and love to see
the face of them on Christmas . I can not wait till that day when we will all be together....
I went to a play at church last night and it was a wonderful play.... All the little ones told the story of
Mary and Joseph and the birth of Christ.... They sang and danced and were so sweet and joyous.
No one got to open a present but everyone got a present.... it was the present of love and friendship and memories... I love Christmas without all the fuss and muss just family loving on family.
Who is our family, you ask. Well, who do you share your time with at Christmas? That is your family.
My friend's granddaughter , what is she giving for Christmas this year? A letter telling those who are important to her what they really mean to her... I love that... I did that for my daddy and when he passed , we found that letter in his wallet... It meant something to him.
Christmas means to me...... love, family, sharing our time together, telling those you love what they mean to you..
So my gift to you this year is the gift of love and friendship. You mean the world to me...God Bless each of you .
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!

Ugliness of Mind
Hello Beloved,
Today is a different kind of day.. I find myself in a negative frame of mind.
We all have them... I feel so guilty for mine.... As I try to grow in God's Word and change I am finding that the ugly in me is deep...... but I am finding that it is changing... It is not always easy to change , especially when the past comes at you like a roaring lion. We all have pasts and not all of them are pretty.. Everyone has a skeleton they would just as soon not come out.. Mine came out yesterday and it made for a unhappy holiday. My fault entirely. I am the one who chose to let the ugly leap out of me. I have repented and ask forgiveness from God..
Can I ask you a question? What would you do if your past came out at you ? As I ask you this question a scripture just came to mind.. I think I need to go and read it ..be right back.
Maybe you could go and read it too.. Acts 9. This is where Saul whom we came to know and love as Paul had his past catch up to him and how it was
dealt with.. Paul was converted in this chapter from a man who persecuted the church to one who ended up writing most of what we know as the New Testament. I guess I should be reading and not writing then eh? The more I read , the more I know I need too.. I don't want to carry the weight of all this ugliness inside me so guess I will go now and read and let the Word of God wash me some more.
Please forgive me if I have in any way caused you to falter in your walk.
tenderly, your sister in Christ Jesus

Thanksgiving Eve
Good Afternoon Beloved,
Today is Thanksgiving Eve. Thanksgiving is my all time favorite holiday.
It is a day when family and friends get together and tell each other how .
thankful they are for each other.. Why do we do that only one day a year?
I want to try and remember to do this more often this next year.. I want to start with today.
I am so thankful for each and everyone of you and all the joy you have brought into my life this year.. Maybe it was a joke or maybe a sweet story you sent, may have even been hug from you.. whatever it was I want you to know that I am thankful for it and you.
I have many things I am thankful for but none as much as I am thankful that I know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As you sit down to your family dinner tomorrow I hope that you will not forget to thank God for all he has given you..
Jesus loves you.
Tenderly your sister in Christ

Rockville part 2
Hello Beloved,
I just want to add some thoughts to the last post .... You know we are all at some point in time locked behind something... Whatever puts a person into a prison is something that they chose to do... It is really the same with what we do to lock our minds up too. We chose to do that...
These women had a chance to change the way they looked at themselves and the people in their lives. Family, friends, roommates, strangers ,,,, it didn't matter. They were open enough to let God come into their life and their heart, to change them. I truly hope and pray that these women will continue on the path of freedom from their pasts and grow and share the love that they found this weekend..... The love of Jesus Christ.
We all build walls and think we can handle it... Well, that just isn't so.... We all need Jesus in life.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I pray for my new sisters in Christ Jesus and that you will surround them with love and joy and peace and favor. I do not know their names nor do I know the circumstances of their lives.. I only know that You are bigger then all the problems they have now or that they will face later.. I know that greater is He that is in them, then he that is in this world.... I praise the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and give all glory and honor to Him.. In Jesus name. I pray your will be done... Amen

Rockville Woman's Prison
Hello Beloved,
I would like to tell you about something that I did yesterday. I was privileged to be invited to a very personal and everlasting moment of some young women who a lot of us would say don't deserve this post. I will strongly disagree with that..
I got to go and witness an amazing transformation at the Woman's Prison yesterday. I don't know why these women are in prison but I did get to see what the end result of three days with God did for them.. I saw lots and lots of tears and laughter and unity in God. It was very moving for me..
I must tell you that as I was admitted into the prison I had my moments of 'what are you doing here?" thoughts... some fear? yes.. The part that scared me the most was the locking down of the doors and knowing I could not get out again until someone let me out.....
I am not really sure what I thought I would see in there... woman to be afraid of or a harshness to the place, maybe just being ignorant of the place.
I know I came out with a different thought , then what I entered with..
I saw some pretty amazing things take place.... in me... I remember one young woman's face as they said, I would like to read her poem.. It was at first one of " o' no they will make fun of me that quickly turn to I am to embarrassed to have them here this, to one of one who had become humbled all in the span of a few seconds.. She was very beautiful to watch... Yes, I am speaking of one of the inmates ... but God had transformed her to His child and it was something you could see.. Beautiful, just beautiful.
One young woman got up to testify and what she said hit so close to home for me.... She said I want to thank God for this weekend . I was just off suicide watch and was told that my name was chosen to come on this journey.. She said " CHOSEN".. Her testimony said a lot to me...
It was something I am so thankful for ... I hope I never forget all the emotions I went through in such a short time... Panic, fear, anxiety, to acceptance, to calm, to freedom.
I thought about Paul and Silas while I was there.. How they were in a prison cell and they sang and the chains that held them were unloosed and they were free... I saw that in the woman yesterday . They would still be behind locked doors but they were free from all the burdens that held them prisoners in the mind. They were free .
Lord Jesus I want to thank you for allowing me the privilege of seeing
firsthand what true freedom is. I thank the women in this prison for not being ashamed of letting God's love show in them ... I thank my friend
Donna for inviting me to come and witness this beautiful and loving
tribute to our Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ.
tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus.

What to do, what to do?
Good Morning Beloved,
Today you hear people lamenting about the way of the world; the government, wars, health care, gas prices, ect.... Well , let me ask you a question. Are YOU doing what is right in your heart and mind? Do YOU trust God to take care of things for you? If you are having trouble seeing it all come together... Please, do yourself a favor and go and read Psalm 2. The last line in this Psalm says" Blessed are they that put their trust in Him." Are you doing that? Putting your trust in Him?
It will not make a difference if you are rich or poor, black or white, male or female, or if your from the USA or any other country; there will be NO difference..
In John 3:16 it says: " For God so loved the WORLD that he gave his only Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This is a promise.
So, are you trusting in God? Believing in God? Talking to God? Have you became a WHOSOEVER?
God's Word is really pretty simple. Put God first, love everyone, and believe and trust God, that is Faith. Then you live what you believe.
Time is really only this long -. So what will it be? Are YOU ready should Jesus come today? Please make your calling assured today.. Trust in God with all your heart, mind, and soul.
Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
tenderly,
your sister in Christ Jesus

Update on Matthew 6
Good Morning Beloved,
This morning I was reading in Matthew 6. I was reading and saying aloud the Lord's Prayer. I decided to look up some words I had written down in my bible beside this prayer... So, I would like to share with you what I learned.
Hallowed: to be made holy or scared
Worship: a prayer, a church service, or a rite showing reverence for a deity;
a intense love or admiration of any kind.
Loyalty: quality, state or instance of being loyal; faithful adherence
Ask: to use words to seek an answer to a question, to inquire
Forgiveness: a forgiving, pardon, inclination to forgive
Deliverance: a freeing or being freed; an opinion or judgment
So, after I looked up each of these words I thought about something I posted on here on August 21, 2013; LOVE OVERWHELMING.. I just want to let you know I DO NOT worship my grandson... Also on August 27, 2011, I posted one titled; PRAYER, MATTHEW 6: 1-18. If you read that one then use the words looked up today I think it would probably read something like this.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed ( to be made holy or scared) be
thy name. ( this is worship- to show in prayer a reverence and intense love and admiration to God our Father) Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.( this is loyalty- to be faithful) Give us this day our daily bread ( ask- to use words to seek an answer to a question) And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors( forgiveness: to pardon) And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil:( deliverance- being freed)
for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory ( worship - to show in prayer a reverence and intense love and admiration to God our Father) forever. Amen ( so be it or let it be so)
This was what I learned this morning.. Everyday I learn something new.. Even when I go over the same thing.. God is so good to me.. I awoke this morning with the breath of life in me.. I praise God for that.. I hope this will help you out today.. I know we are all on different walks and different timing but I praise God I for my walk , I hope you do too.

LOVE: Overwhelming
Good Morning Beloved,
Have you ever really thought about Love? What it means to love? How to love? Who to love? God's love for you?
This morning I went in to wake Michael up and I looked down and watched him move around then I leaned down to love on him to wake him up and the tears just started to fall ... I love this child so, so much. I had to leave the room for a few minutes it was just so over whelming.. I finally went back in to wake him and we were teasing each other and the tears just fell again , harder .. I was so very over whelmed with how much I really do love this little guy.
I was on my knees and I ask God , 'what is wrong with me this morning?
Why am I crying so hard ?' Then it hit me! This is how God loves me. When He sees me sleeping, waking up or wide awake God loves me.
Yesterday Michael was a little naughty when he came in from school and he got into trouble and had his favorite item taken away ... ( I pod) Later in the evening he comes up to me and puts his arms around me and says, ' I love you Grandma. I ask him,, what do you want? O nothing and I said your after your I pod, huh? He laughed and said yeah, can I have it back now?
I told him no,,, he had to think about why he lost it... and then we would talk... ( probably get it back in a few days). I told you this, so, I could tell you this. This must be how God looks at us...
When He sees us, He must be over whelmed with love for us too....( He died for us) When we ask Him for things , sometimes the answer is no, not today. No matter what Michael does, I love, Love, LOVE this child..
That is the way I think God loves us..... Everyday new mercies are there for us... Lamentations 3"22-23
I thank you O' Lord for new mercies and for ALL of my blessings and love everyday..

History Lesson : Are you ready for this?
Good Morning Beloved,
Are you up for a history lesson today? I hope so this one is going to be very interesting. I have been reading a booklet called " The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy by John H. Ogwyn , a friend loaned me the booklet. It goes through the history of Israel and brings it up to date.
I won't go through all of it but I do want to point out some interesting facts.... The Bible is a great book to read and try to understand.... It is full of historical facts that you can find also in secular history books... It is a book that has been proven over and over..
God made a promise to King David through the prophet Nathan. It is in
2 Samuel 7: 12-16. PLEASE read this for yourself.. It is about how the house of David and the kingdom will be forever established. The last descendant of King David to sit upon the throne was King Zedekiah.. In 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took King Zedekiah captive , burned the Temple, destroyed the city of Jerusalem.. In 2 Kings 25: you can read this for yourself... They killed the sons of Zedekiah and put out his eyes..
So, like the booklet asks: Did the promise to David fail? NO. Now please go and read Ezekiel 17, pay attention to v. 22 and 23. Now , the top branch was Zedekiah and the twig would be one of his children. We have seen that the sons of Zedekiah were killed BUT, it says a tender branch,,, Zedekiah's daughters. ( a high mountain is used in Bible prophecy to symbolize a nation) . So this would show that the daughter would marry and produce off springs and that the dynasty would continue.
Irish history records the rest of the story..... It tells of the prophet Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch coming to Ireland after the fall of Judah with a young princess and the coronation stone, called in Gaelic lia fail. In the ancient Irish records , the princess was named Tea Tephi. Now you can read the rest of the story here.....http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cnoelldunc/
Ancient/Tea/Al.htm Let me know what you think!
Smile: it is a free gift from God to share with all you meet.
God Bless. tenderly, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Going Through...... Psalms 23
Good Afternoon Beloved,
If you are going through anything, please remember you are not alone.
PSALMS 23
The Lord is my shepherd ( This is when He is leading us. Are we letting Him lead us everyday?) I shall not want. ( This is where He is the caregiver. Are you lacking in anything you want, food, clothes, shelter or love?) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. ( This is where I rest and grow) He leads me beside the still waters. ( This is where I reflect and find peace) He restoreth my soul ( He saved me) He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.( He leads: means He is showing me the way for His name ,Jesus Christ our good shepherd) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.( this is where I go through trials and fears of many things) I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.( No matter what valley you go through , no trial that you face, You are NEVER alone, because Jesus Christ is always with me.) Thy rod and thy staff comfort me ( this is where I get my support . He is always , always with me.) Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. ( This is a covenant between me and Christ Jesus, that He is before me always in the presence of my enemies.) (( I just need to remember this part)) Thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over.( This is where my blessings are poured out and overflow.) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. ( This is blessings) And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.( This is living with Christ Jesus for eternity.)
If you are going through anything in your life that is a trial , sickness, death, money problems, relationship problems, anything...... Please just remember that you are NOT alone.. Our Lord Jesus Christ is with you....
Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

What is the Mark of the Anti-Chirst?
Good Morning Beloved,
Well it is foggy and misty outside so that makes it a good day to stay inside and study God's Word. Here goes.. remember now if you don't agree with anything you see here , there is a comment line at the bottom and we can learn and study together, okay
Have you ever thought much about the " mark of the anti-Christ", and what it might be?
Is it sin? The Greek word, ' hamartano' and it means literally ' to miss the mark' and it is used in 2 Peter 2:4; sinning against God, by angels. Now the same word is used in Matthew 27:4 ( man, sinning against God) Judas says, I have sinned ( hamartano, missed the mark). So , could you conclude then that sin is " the mark of the anti-Christ? That would then be called disobedience, correct?
Now then what would you think that the mark of God would be? If sin ( disobedience) is the mark of the anti- Christ, then it would make sense that the mark of God would be obedience; would you agree?
Would you please go and read Deuteronomy 6:1-17 , pay close attention to v. 17,
" diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God". This would be obedience.
Look at Matthew 22: 34-40........ obedience to the law; Now, folks right here in Matthew 22:40 it says it all and it is just two laws! Obey these two laws and that is it, obedience . ( We can look at these laws in another writing)
So the question is: What mark will you chose, disobedience ( like the world ,sin) or obedience ( spiritual , like in eternal) ? It will be your choice. God has given us what we need to make the eternal choice , it's called The Word of God, ( Bible). We are man( human) and we will make mistakes but isn't it nice to know that everyday we have the chance to be renewed? Read Lamentations 3: 22-23 .. this is about the mercy that is renewed every morning.
Obeying the Word of God everyday is going to be what I chose to do...
Will I fall short? Yes of course I will and do, but I can get down on my knees and repent and ask forgiveness and know that with a right heart in asking I will be forgiven. When ever I read in the Word I learn something new... Today I have learned that I want to bear the mark of God and that it is the obedience of God and the fruit of the Spirit.
God Bless you and always, always check out the Word for yourself.....

Why Write a Blog?
Good Evening Beloved.
Do you know why I write this blog? I ask myself that many times.. I don't seem to have many
folks read it.... That's okay I guess. If just one person reads it and gets something from it then
I guess it has been a good thing to do.... I love words. I like to say them and I like to read them
and I like to write them also. I am not much of a writer but that too is okay. I like to write about
things I am thinking about.. mostly about what I am learning in my relationship with God .( The
Creator of all things)
I just started reading a booked call Ministering through Spiritual Gifts by Charles F. Stanley.
Lesson One.....
1.) Do you know what your ministering gift (s) are? How are you using them? Do you share with others these gifts?
2.) What are some of the things you like to do in the natural? Make a list of the things you are a
natural at.
Well, I have thought about it some.. I love words.. That comes to me naturally. So I would have to say that is one of the gifts I have received.
I love to tell people about Jesus Christ... He died for my sins a long time ago...... I love to tell people that if you are ever in a tight spot and need help all you have to do is call on Jesus Christ and He is always right there, right on time.... So I would say that words come to me naturally .
So, I am using my gift of words to tell you that God loves you so much and He just wanted you to know and today He used me to tell you...
Smile and remember that it is a gift from God for you to share everywhere you go .
God Bless you today and everyday.

Holding The Rod Up
Hello Beloved,
I heard David Jeremiah say something on the radio yesterday and it just struck me.
Something to think about it.... I only heard a little of it as I was driving and caught the last part of it. Anyway, he said ; " holding the rod up" . Then he talked about Exodus
17.. So I came home and read Exodus 17.. It talks about Moses and Joshua and the children of Israel and how they were thirsty. So Moses strikes the rock and out comes the water... Next comes Amalek and Joshua and his soldiers and they fight.. Now , Moses, Aaron and Hur go to the top of the hill to watch the fight... Moses tells Joshua
that he will stand with the rod of God in his hand. So, they are on the top of the hill and Moses, his arms start to tire and fall.... When this happened , Joshua and his soldiers start to lose the fight ... Aaron and Hur prop up his arms and they start winning again... So as long as Moses was holding the rod up they would win.....
Now, this is what I got from this.
When you are holding your arms up to God in praise and worship.... you are winning..
when you leave your arms down you lose. It is like prayer... You need to pray so you can have a close relationship with God... This is how we talk to God... Prayer is very important not just for yourself but for others around you... Your prayer may be the one that is answered for someone... Yes, one person can make a difference..
HOLDING THE ROD UP .. That is what prayer is to the church... Are you helping to keep it there?
I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone but me.. I need to change the way I go about prayer and holding the rod up.. We can not let what someone else thinks of us when we are praying... It is only God who matters.. This is my lesson for today for myself......
Remember to smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all around you.
God Bless each of you. Tenderly, your sister in Christ , vickie

Did You Let God In Today?
Hello Beloved,
I am just going to ask questions, okay?
Did you let God in your day today?
When you awoke this morning did you tell Him thank you for the breath you took? Was the sun shinning where you were today or was it maybe raining ? Did your
family awake all safe and sound? Did you have food to eat today? Did you have a
job to go to? What about clean running water? Did you have someone to eat a meal
with today? How about sharing some time with a friend, did you get to do that today?
Did you have a place to get in out of the sun? rain? Did you have clean clothes to put on today? Money in the bank and places to go and visit? Shoes, did you have shoes to wear? Can you read and write? Can you wrap your arms around your child today and hug them?
Did you let God in your day today?
Did you take the time to say thank you to God today for all the many things you have today? Did you take the time to pray today? Did you read from the Word of God
today? Have you shared God today with someone?
I want to do that just now...
God loves you so very much.. He sent His son , Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
He is making a place for us to live all we need do is accept Christ as our Savior.
Have you done that yet? You just need to ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins and let Him into your heart. Are you ready to do that ? We can do that right now.
Just repeat : Dear Lord, I love you and I need you . Please forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart and change me into the person you want me to be. I pray your will for my life. In Jesus name. Amen
If you prayed this or something like it then you did let God in your day today.
God Bless you and keep you. tenderly , your sister in Christ, vickie

Tithes and Blessings
Hello Beloved,
Today in church the pastor talked about tithing. Does your pastor tell you about tithes? It really
goes all the way back to Abraham in Genesis 14. Is it important to tithe? Well, lets look at
Malachi 3: 8-10. I think it is important. How many of us want to be blessed? How many of us are
willing to do what it takes to receive the blessings? I heard a testimony today at church from a lady
that tithes and it was so awesome to hear how God had blessed her. Sometimes the blessings we
receive are in the way we handle ourselves in a situation. That is how she was blessed and what
a testimony it was! We should allow God to use us so we can reach others and that is what this lady
did. She was a instrument that God used to show someone that God cared for them .... Wow!
In Sunday School class a man showed off his blessing from God( yes , he tithes too) and it was his
granddaughter and he told of her accomplishments in school. See God can bless you and it does not
have to be with money... Yes, sometimes it is money that you get because there is a need for it but
just because you do not get what you think you should does not mean you don't receive.
Do I think that tithing is important.. Personally, yes I do... Do I think ...you should tithe? That depends
on if you want to be blessed by God.. I figure it is all God's anyway and all he wants is 10% and you get 90% .
I have so many things running around in my head today ... Do you ever have that happen to you? Sure you do ..... Well it looks like some rain is heading our way and I really need to get started on the mowing so till next time. Please pray about tithing .. I know you only have so much money to go around but I can assure you that if you give to God what is His you will get back more than you can believe.. It has happened to me time and time again... I know it is true...
God Bless you and keep you.... If you need to receive Christ in your life.. I will be more than happy to help you right now...... Just say this prayer... Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner.. I know I need you in my life and I know that you came and died on the cross for my sins.. Please Lord, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart... I pray your will be done. In Jesus name. Amen
O' loved ones if you prayed that pray .. please write and let me know .. and welcome to the family.

Thinking Aloud on paper.
Hello Beloved,
I have been reading again.... I am rereading the Left Behind books. While I was washing dishes this morning I was praising God and singing songs and it hit me.... " What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?"
Have you ever read these books? They are so much better than the movies.. a lot more detailed.
While you may or may not agree with the writers, you can at least get a feel for what people may go through when the church is translated ( raptured). You should have your bible close by while reading them.... you can then check out what the scriptures say in your own bible. Just remember to pray first for understanding. What is in the books? Well, it tells you what might happen when the tribulation starts to take place.. ie.... Where will you be able to go for answers? Who will you be able to trust? How will you continue to make a living? Will you even live through the judgements that will happen? How will you keep from taking the mark of the beast? As I go through these questions and thoughts I wondered what am I doing for the kingdom of God?
Well, if you know me then you will know that I am a talker.. I love words. I no longer work in the public so I am not around many people anymore but I do like to write( I am NOT a accomplished
writer) I just pretty much write the way I talk .. right from the heart. I have been told that is not always a good thing..... but then that is who I am....
I do not know who may read this but I would like to tell you that God Loves You. IF you have not ask Him into your heart then I urge you to think strongly about it and then when you accept Him ... let someone know,,,, Me if you would... I would love to hear from you.
We all have gifts I believe that.. I believe my gift is one of love.. I can not remember a time in my life when I was not loving on people.... So that takes me back to the start.... What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?
Well I think I am doing that right now... by writing to you and posting this on the Internet. I am letting people know that God loves them and that we are here to help each other....
We might not all go up in the rapture and we will need to have a place to go to get information so I am letting you know that if you would read your bible you have the answers right there in front of you..... I will have thoughts again and write them again ..... Just know that God Loves you and I do
too through Jesus Christ. tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

I do not know who may read this but I would like to tell you that God Loves You. IF you have not ask Him into your heart then I urge you to think strongly about it and then when you accept Him ... let someone know,,,, Me if you would... I would love to hear from you.
We all have gifts I believe that.. I believe my gift is one of love.. I can not remember a time in my life when I was not loving on people.... So that takes me back to the start.... What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?
Well I think I am doing that right now... by writing to you and posting this on the Internet. I am letting people know that God loves them and that we are here to help each other....
We might not all go up in the rapture and we will need to have a place to go to get information so I am letting you know that if you would read your bible you have the answers right there in front of you..... I will have thoughts again and write them again ..... Just know that God Loves you and I do
too through Jesus Christ. tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

Is the Earth Groaning?
Good Morning Beloved,
My what a dreary day it is outside, oh, but, what a warm and wonderful day it is on the inside.
While it is to cold and wet to be outside it is nice and warm and dry on the inside and that makes it a great day to spend with God and His Word..
Can I ask you something? I hope you will take time to think about your answer, okay? Have you ever really thought much about what it will be like when Jesus comes back for the saints? Have you thought about how the world will change? How will people treat each other after the saints are removed? Can you imagine for instance what it would be like to say be in a car driving down the highway and all of a sudden the person who is with you in the car/ truck is just gone? What about being in a plane and the pilot/ co-pilot is just gone and the plane starts going down? Train, subway,
a bus? What about the mess that will come if drivers are gone and the traffic just goes awry? Have you ever thought about things like that? I do..
What about the children? Where would we be without them? What about a pregnant woman about to give birth, what if her baby is just gone? Do you think these things will really ever happen?
I really think they will and soon.
Have you been watching the news about earthquakes, floods, droughts, and what about the sink holes? Do you think it is the earth groaning? Do you ever hear about the ones who are being put to death because of the Name of Jesus Christ? What about not even being able to say the Name of Jesus Christ here in our own country? People are offended when you even mention the Name of Christ Jesus. What are your thoughts on all of this? Can any of it be backed up by scriptures? Yes, I believe they can.. Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. I think you will find answers there. I don't claim to have all the answers but I do believe what I am reading in God' Word. I see what is happening in the world.
Do you think it is important to go out and talk to people about the Love of Christ Jesus? Do you do it? Are you trying to live like Christ did, in love and forgiveness? Do you let what other people say to you or about you affect your walk with God? Do you think that the time is close at hand for the return of Christ? Do you even think of these things?
I am trying to get ready for the return of Jesus Christ. I have made so many mistakes with people, within my own thinking, in many other ways, but I am seeking and seeking to find my way to Christ.
Have I ask God into my home? yes. Have I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart ? yes, Have I been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ? yes I have. I have the blood of Jesus applied to my life and I am so grateful for that blood.. I can't earn my way into heaven but I know there are things need to do before I get there..
Smile: it is a free gift from God to share with all you meet.
Tenderly, your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

Stand, Armour, Praise : Part 2
Good Morning Beloved,
I was just rereading the last post on here and something struck me. So I am going
to see if I can make sense of it okay? In the middle part of the last post it went like this.
1.) Stand fast 4.) Peace 7.) the Sword- Word of God
2.) Stand in truth 5.) Faith 8.) Stand in Garment of Praise
3.) Righteousness 6.) Salvation
Now we know that numbers mean something in scriptures.. for example:
50 = Pentecost, 12= government so now we will find out what each of the above
numbers mean in scripture..
1.) Unity 4.) Creative Works 7.) Complete
2.) Double Portion 5.) Grace 8.) New Beginning
3.) Perfect Number 6.) Man/ Rebellion
So let's put this altogether now and see if it makes sense.
1.) Stand fast, meaning we stand in Unity with God.
2.) Stand in truth meaning we receive a Double Portion. Doing right and receiving a blessing from God ...
3.) Righteousness mean God the Father. God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
4.) Peace meaning being able to be to do creative works.
5.) Faith meaning the Grace of God our Father.
6.) Salvation is for a man in rebellion from God our Father( through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
7.) The Sword- Word of God.. means it is complete.
8.) Standing in the Garment of Praise means we have a New Beginning.
So if we put it all together like this . When we stand fast we are in unity and we stand in truth receiving a double portion from a righteous Father in peace being able to do creative works in Faith which is the Grace of our God who came all the way from Glory to save us the rebellious man with the Sword, the Word of God, in a garment of Praise so we can have a New Beginning.
It makes sense to me.. I hope it does you too..

Stand, Armour, Praise
Hello Beloved,
Today I awoke with a heavy heart, knowing that I was going to go into battle today. Burdens have a way of doing that to us, sending us into battle... I know I am not alone in this fighting battles, we all do it everyday. But today as I sat down to pray about it this is what came out of my pencil. I know that someone out there besides me needs to hear this.. Please just remember this: GOD LOVES YOU.
Are you facing something that is hard to face? Do you have trouble thinking straight about it? Are you at a loss of knowing what to do? Do you feel like your all alone and that no one understands ? Well, please remember this: GOD LOVES YOU.
When you go into battle remember you need to " stand fast" Jeremiah 46: 14
Don't forget to put on your armour; The Whole Armour of God.... Ephesians 6:14-17
Stand ; with your loins girt about with truth; have on the breastplate of righteousness, your feet shod with the preparations of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation and the sword, which is the Word of God.
You are almost ready to go into battle now, but you still have one more thing to do to be ready to face what ever you are coming up against..
To remove the heaviness you feel (like I did when I awoke this morning) you need to put on the " garment of praise". Isaiah 61: 3 So now you are ready to start the day and win the battle. All you do is : stand fast, stand in truth, righteousness, peace,
faith, salvation, and carry the sword, the Word of God and while you stand , stand in that garment of praise.
In Hebrews 13:5
" I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
So no matter what the battle is you know that God is with you always.
If God be for us , who can be against us? Romans 8: 31
Stand up and praise God today and everyday: the battle is already won.
GOD LOVES YOU.
Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Revelation 17: Theories
Hello Beloved,
Revelation 17, this is a interesting chapter in the Word. I want to write about two
different theories and then you see which one you lean towards.
THEORY # 1
The woman on the beast; Roman Church ( this would be the first 9 verses)
The seven kings; popes, starting in 1929 when they became a sovereign government.
Eighth king; the anti-Christ
Ten horns; European Union
THEORY # 2
The woman on the beast: All types of religions , not just one.
The seven kings; Seven different empires.( ie..... Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-
Persia, and Greece ( these would be the five fallen) ( one is ) Roman Empire, ( one not yet come) anti-chirst. ( this would be the 7th who will have just a short space of time, like maybe 3 1/2 years)
Eighth king: he and # 7 will be the same one , with one difference the 8th will be indwelt with Satan.
Ten horns: European Union
Both theories I think the anti- christ is going to wage war with the Lamb of God and
the war will be won by God.
These are just a couple of theories about Revelation 17..
I don't know the answers but I will be praying about it.
The Word of God tells us to study to show yourself approved unto God.. II Timothy
2:15 . So I am and I hope you will too.
May God Bless your day and remember to Smile: it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

URGENT! URGENT! Please read..
Hello Beloved,
Time is short... Time is short... I feel the need to tell you that Hell is real... Evil is real an d it is among us today.... I need to let you know that no matter what has gone on between us that today and everyday we need to pray for the souls of the lost... We may not always agree on things and we may have even hurt one other sometime.... Today is a day of forgiveness and moving forward... Please , if I have hurt you in anyway, with what I say or do , I am asking for your forgiveness.. I do not hold anything in my heart for you except love... So what I have to say to you right now is being said with love.
GOD is real... Heaven is real..... Love is real.... folks on the flip side of that coin is this... Satan is real .... Hell is real...... Hate is real.....
It is so easy to love the ones close to you and want only good things to happen to and for them..... that's easy...... The real trick is to love someone who has used you or hurt you or you may not even know but consider them your enemy anyway... That is the real test of love.... to pray for your enemies.... Talk to your enemies..... Tell them about the love of God..... Tell them that God loves them too...
Time is so short and we need to be about our Father's business of telling everyone we meet or know that God loves them and He wants them to be with Him...
I have just read a book called 23 minutes in Hell and you know what it scares me to think that anyone would chose to go there...
People ARE choosing to go there by not choosing to follow Christ.. It is my calling and you calling as well to let people know about the love of God....
I have made so many mistakes in my life and I will answer for them... I just want to let you know that no matter what mistakes you have made or how bad you think they are,
God still loves you and wants to be with you.... If you feel Him knocking at the door of your heart PLEASE let Him in.... No matter how bad you think it is, nothing is as bad as not knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ.... He died for ALL sinners...Yes, ALL.. People we don't know, from places we have never been. He loves us all..
Please if you need or want help in understanding this I am here... If I don't know I can always ask someone who does.... Please just answer the knock at the door of your heart and let Jesus in..... Time is so short.... PLEASE...... time is so short.
I really do love each one who reads this... I am praying for you..... Please accept Christ today.... right now...
this is a sincere letter to each of you who take time to read it....
Jesus Christ is the answer to all of your problems...

The Harbinger: Week Four
Hello Beloved,
Today we will look at the first five harbingers.
#1 The Breach: breach: this is a gap, or break in the wall
Ancient Israel had a hedge of protection around her, as did America.
hedge: a barrier; to guard as with a barrier
Isaiah 5:5
" I will take away it's hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down it's wall, and it shall be trampled down." .
It happened in ancient Israel and it has happened to America.. When? September 11, 2001. We had our wake-up call.
#2.) The Terrorist
In Ancient Israel it was the Assyrians who committed the public atrocities. Did you know that it was also those related to the Assyrians who committed them in America? It was not just spiritually but literally also those ancient Assyrians. The terrorist from 911 were from ancient Assyria, which is today modern Iraq.
# 3.) The Vow ( solemn promise)
Ancient Israel vowed to rebuild after the breach, so too did America and with the same words. " The bricks are fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stone: The sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars" Isaiah 9: 10
This was done right after 911 happened.
# 4.) The Tower
In Ancient Israel the tower was made of clay and straw, and they vowed to use something stronger; hewn stone. In America , we used the same words " We will rebuild". Just like Ancient Israel's vow to rebuild bigger, better, and stronger than before America vowed to do the same. In the aftermath of 911 on Ground Zero , rebuilding starts.... The Freedom Tower.
# 5.) The Gazit Stone
gazit stone: hewn stone, quarried stone, chiseled, and carved out of a mountain rock. Taken from page 41 of the Harbinger Companion Study Guide, by Jonathan Cahn.
As Ancient Israel did with the hewn stone ( symbol of strength and greatness), America did likewise.. Taken from upstate New York , a massive rectangular block of stone, the first act of rebuilding and it was taken to Ground Zero where the towers had fallen. America was also being defiant.
I pray you will go and read Isaiah 9: 8-21 for yourself... I pray God has mercy on this country, America.

Harbinger: Week Three
Hello Beloved,
Well this week is about America's Rise and Fall.
I want to start with a scripture: " Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34
We have seen how a ancient nation turned from worshipping God, to warring against Him.... Do you agree that America has done the same? The ancient nation was founded upon God' Word , as was America. The ancient nation of Northern Israel turned from worshipping God to doing their own thing, as America has also....
Let's look at Psalms 33: 12: " Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."
From them moment that this country America was founded it has been blessed, both
economically and militarily. We supported the Jewish people with a place of refuge and have supported a New Nation, Israel, and we have been blessed. God has honored his pledge from Genesis 12:3, "I will bless them that bless thee and I will curse him that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
What has happened? Somewhere we have lost the worshipping of God to warring against Him... Just like the ancient nation of Northern Israel did...
In 1963, the Supreme Court took prayer out of the schools, 1973, they decreed , it was okay to abort unborn babies..... We have since seen families change, more divorces, men and men, woman and woman marrying each other, babies born out of wedlock, pornography rampant, New Age Movement, these are just a few of things that have happened .. So as a nation, America has fell and is still falling away from the God who created us..... We say evil is good and good is evil. Just like the ancient nation of Israel. " I will curse him that curses you" Genesis 12: 3
Do you agree that we are now under that curse? Do you think we still have hope? What can we do as a nation to change things? Let's turn to the Word of God one more time. " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Is there still hope?
Remember to smile : it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
Tenderly with arms about you and in the love of Christ Jesus, your sister in Christ vickie

Harbinger: Week Two
Hello Beloved,.
Well, I hope you are ready for another round of questions... I really do hope that
you have started reading this book... It is such an eye opener.
Okay, let's go.. First I want to tell you ( really for me) what some words mean, so that when you read them it will all make more sense.
apostasy: abandoning of what one believes in ; as in faith
apostate: person guilty of apostasy; renegade
apostatize: to be an apostate; abandon one's faith, principles, political party
Now that we know what the words mean it will make more sense when we read.
The Rise and the Apostasy of Israel.. We are going to learn about the birth of a ancient nation and the fall of same nation.
I do so hope that you are reading all the scriptures that goes along with this book.. It will just make it easier to understand, please I will wait while you go and fetch your bible .... Okay you have it.. good.
Let me ask you some more questions.....
How was Israel conceived? Who was called to start this new nation and how was it to be done? Genesis 12:3 please read it , I'll wait.
What was the scared call ? Exodus 19:6 Remember this was for the new nation. Now , lets look at what happens next.. They are given laws to follow, right? Look in Exodus 20: 1-17; and Leviticus 19:18.
What happened? What made the people abandon their faith? What did they put their faith in? Well, we need to do some more reading , look at 1 Kings 11:7 I will wait.
Now, how do you think that God spoke to the people of this new nation? Through prophets, right? What do you think the prophets told the people? Did they listen? What happened next? Well, I hope you are as interested as I am and are reading along with this post..... Israel, this new nation was going to be judged , right? They had disobeyed and now they would pay the price for that disobedience..
Now, lets jump forward about 4000 years okay? Do you think that any of this applies to the United States of America? Have we done the same things as Israel and abandoned our faith? Do you think like Israel we will be judged too?
Have we driven God out of our lives, our schools, our government, our culture? What have we replaced God with? Look at Ezekiel 16:15 , do you agree with that?
When did we stop trusting in God? Do you think He has stopped loving us?
I really do hope to hear from you.. We may not agree on everything, but we can come together to help each other learn I hope from each other.....
Remember to smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share will all you meet.
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you in the love of Christ Jesus.

Harbinger : wk 1 continued
Hello Beloved,
Well I hope you have all had a chance to see the last entry on here.. It was about the new book I am reading " The Harbinger". I am just going to go on from where I left off and ask you some questions, okay?
First question is this:
Do you think it is a fair statement to say that America is in trouble? How do YOU think it all came about? What do you think should be done to help her out? Do you think that there is hope for America? Do you think that we can really find answers in ancient writings for America? What do you think is happening here in America?
These are just a few of the questions I have...Does God send warnings before he judges a nation? Where did you find the answers to these questions. Is there hope for
America? I have my own thoughts and feelings on this but I would really like to hear from you what your thoughts and feelings are. Please read Jeremiah 33:3 and then read Isaiah 55:6-11, and then tell me what you think they are saying.
Do you have a mission in mind for this week? Are you making plans for the future? your future? I sure hope you are . If you need help understanding or have any questions , please put them on here and we will discuss and we can always go to a Man of God and ask him to help us.. Do you have a pastor or teacher who can help?? Well then you think on these questions and let me know your thoughts and then I will let you know mine. Till I hear from you,, God bless and keep you and please remember to smile as it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Study of The Harbinger: Week 1
Hello Beloved,
I am so happy to talk with you today.... I just prayed a pray for you today.. I am praying that your day will be all it can be with God in it. Oh, I am so happy to be on here with you today! Praise God!!!!
God is love. 1 John 4:8 ( KJV)
God is Just. 2 Thessalonians 1:6 (NIV)
God does not lie... Numbers 23:19 (NIV)
God is righteous. Psalms 7:11 (NIV)
I am studying the Harbinger again... I now have a study guide from the author, Jonathan Cahn to study from... I hope I can do this to help not only you but myself as well... I hope your up to sticking this out with me.... Here goes.
First off , have you read this book by Jonathan Cahn, called the Harbinger? Well, it is a book about the mysteries of America, past and future... It is a good book to read and study if we want to see what has happened here in our own country, the U.S.A...
HARBINGER: a person or thing that comes before to announce; forerunner
So we know that the title of the book means that someone or something is about to announce what has taken place or will take place in or on America.
The book starts out telling about a ancient mystery that takes place over 2700 years ago.. It tells about what happened to Israel when the Lord's anger was against them.
You may be saying but, what has that to do with us in the U.S.A., right? Well that is what we will be learning as we go along . So I really hope that you will come back and stick with me on this journey into learning about the future of this country.
God Bless and remember to smile it is a gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
