Hello Beloved,
If you have ever read any of this blog then you know that I suffered for many years with depression.
I heard a preacher on T.V. today talk about darkness and then light. I want to tell you about my experience with darkness and light.
Before I fell in my bathtub in Oct. 2007, I had an experience that now as I look back on it had to be God. The month before I fell in the bathtub I lived in a dark, dark place.. I would go to work each day but I felt like a zombie.. I don't think I preformed my job well, my home life was horrible, nothing seem to matter or make much sense. I had Thursdays off through the week. I awoke one Thursday morning and laid in bed and was so cold. I could not think at all, nothing. I did not want to get up from that bed..... I wanted to just lay there and go to sleep never to wake again.... I can not even begin to describe how dark it was . It was like I was wearing it and nothing could break through. I don't know how long I lay there but I just didn't want to be anywhere.. I was so cold.. coldest I have ever been in my whole life.. I got up and ran a hot bath and set in it to try and get warm, nothing seem to help.. I got up and put clothes on and sat in the living room just getting colder and colder... I said to myself, just stop breathing.. So I tried that holding my breath. Darkness just seemed to be getting darker and darker all the time as I grew colder and colder.. I set there for such a long time... It was in the afternoon and something said to me " go to the store". What? " go to the store". So I got up and went to the store.. I was really like a zombie walking... I went in the store and people spoke and I tried to be friendly back( I think, I hope) I started around the corner to go into the second aisle and someone spoke to me; " hi, how are you? fine, thanks." I then moved on to the next aisle.. Same person, " Hi, how are you?'' again fine thanks". So I go to the third aisle and this same person comes up to me and says" I need to pray for you." I look at them and think are they talking to me? I look around and it is just me and this person.. This woman, grabs my hand and starts praying right then and there in the 3 aisle of the store! I do not know this woman , never saw her before.. She just starts praying for me and over me and it starts to penetrate through me... I had been living in the darkness so long... She prayed and prayed and as others came into the aisle they laid a hand on me and prayed too!! We stood in aisle 3 for how long? I don't know.. I do know that when she was done praying over me and for me I felt like a weight had been removed.. I began to see light shinning around me.. It was not me that was shinning but it was the LOVE of Christ Jesus shinning from this woman. I left this woman in aisle 3 and finished shopping with LOUD praises on my lips.
I went up to the front of the store and paid for my things and went outside to put things in my car. I saw this woman waiting by my car and she told me that GOD LOVES YOU.. and that was the last time I ever saw her.. I had never seen this woman before nor have I ever seen her again. I only know that in my darkness there came a light.... I still have moments of darkness but they don't last to long .. I have the Light of the world in me... JESUS CHRIST.

Feast of Tabernacle: Leviticus 23: 33-43
Good Morning Beloved,
Feast of Tabernacle . " The Lord spoke to Moses saying; 15th day of the 7th month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord." ( Leviticus 23: 33-34)
The 7th month is Tishri on the Hebrew calendar.( for Gentiles it is mid Sept-Oct) The # 7 is perfection or complete. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the 8th day shall be a holy convocation unto you, ( convocation: an assembly; an ecclesiastical or academic assembly)
The # 8 is new beginnings ( also on the 8th was the day of circumcision of every male born)
These are just my thoughts in bold. Maybe I am wrong but then maybe not. The number 7 is the # for perfection, right? Well, we all know that only one was ever perfect. Now for the number 8 , it is for new beginnings ,correct? Well when do we get that new beginning? I believe it is when we are baptized. We are circumcised at that time and grafted into the Vine.
This is when we become the sons of God .( 1 John 3:1-2)
Zechariah 6:12; " Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH." He will come from Israel and shall build the temple. Zechariah 14: 3-4 ,16-19. Please go and read right now....PLEASE go and read these passages. I use the King James Bible. I am waiting for you to finish reading.... Ready?
His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives. To do what? KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. This has NOT happened yet. 2 Peter 1:14 " knowing shortly I must put off this my tabernacle. ( his body) v. 16; Peter is telling you that it is not a fable , there were eyewitnesses to Jesus majesty. Now go to Mark 9: 1-5. PLEASE, go and read this ... It is about the Transfiguration.
Could it be that Peter saw into the future about the feast of tabernacles? It was a time of celebration of GOD tabernacling with His people. In John 8: 12, Jesus tells them at the Feast of Tabernacles that He is the Light of the world. The songs they would sing during this feast were from Psalms 113- 118 and on the last day of the feast they would do the " Jericho" march around the alter 7 times .. Now, go and read John 7:2, 14,37-38.. Please you must go and read...
During this festival people would sing Isaiah 12:3.." Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out to the wells of salvation." Yeshua ( is the Hebrew word for salvation) cried out to the people to " come unto Him to drink. John 7: 37-38.
Now to show you in scripture how Jesus was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. Lets start with John the Baptist. Go to Luke 1: 5,8-9. Abia is the 8th course. Check out 1 Chronicles 24: 10. Now the religious year began at the 1st of Nisan; 2 weeks before Passover, ( about April) and Abia was the 8th ( about 2 months April 1 to June 1) BUT ALL the Priests had to serve during Passover so that puts the 8th week to 9th week or 2 weeks of June and that would be the Feast of Shavot or Pentecost. Look at Luke 1: 10-11 So Zacharias served 2 weeks in a row. First week at The Feast and then he served his 8th week at the Temple. When he was finished serving Zacharias went home and his wife Elizabeth conceived . Luke 1: 23-24. So when Zacharias went home till five months passed would have been mid June to mid November. One month later an angel appeared to Mary ( Luke 1: 26,35-36. So Yeshua is conceived during Chanukah ( the Jewish Festival of Lights). Mary goes and stays with Elizabeth for 3 months. This takes you to the time of Passover, when John the Baptist is born.
So, Mary conceives in December and delivers in September at the time of The Feast of Tabernacles.
( Read Luke Chapter 2, it is about the birth of Jesus Christ)

Day 4 of My 30 Day Challenge
Good Morning Beloved,
Well today is my 4th day of the 30 day challenge. I get up and spend time reading God's Word and I write about it... I got stuck on one verse yesterday in James 1. It was verse 12.. Something had happened and I came home and was reading and it just struck me and I could not go on until I had a clear understanding of the verse..
TEMPTATION: SOMETHING THAT TEMPTS
TEMPT: TO TEST OR TRY; ENTICE; ALLURE AS TO SOMETHING IMMORAL; TO PROVOKE OR RISK
Everyday we are tempted in one way or another. It may be about money, children, thoughts, sex, food, something ... The thing we need to do is learn how to resist temptation.
RESIST: WITHSTAND; FEND OFF; STAND FIRM AGAINST
I am a work in progress and I needed this lesson .. I have to learn how to resist temptation and I hope that by doing this challenge I am...
This is what I did today when I was doing my daily reading.
I started my prayer and as I was praying this is what came from it...
Do you believe God created Heaven and Earth? The Sun, Moon, and Stars? Do you believe God created Man and Woman at the same time?
In Genesis 1:1 God.( Elohim means creator). Genesis 1: 3 God spoke...1:14-16; lights to divide day from night and stars. Genesis 1:26...created them.... male and female. Now, with that said go to Psalms 139. This talks about God knowing all about you while you were yet not born. He knew when you would sit down, stand up, what you would think and what would come out of your mouth. He goes before you and behind you. As imperfect as I am( we are) He wrote in His book all of my ( our) members ( every little detail of who you are). Your hair color, eyes, how tall or short you would be, the color of your skin, boy or girl. ect.... This is something to really think about..... God loves you so much that He knows how many hairs are on your head.. If you believe one thing about God's Word , you need to believe that it is a love letter written to you. It is filled with so much life, love and truth in it for you to learn .... You will never know it all not this side of heaven. In the last two verses of Psalms 139.
" Search me, O' God, and know my heart. Lead me in the way everlasting."
It is time to believe and ask God to Search me and lead me....... God did create all things , you included. Thank Him for that today. Remember to Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Day One : 30 Day Challenge
Hello Beloved,
Today has been a " just thinking " day. Thinking about this and thinking about that. Just think I will talk about my day a little.
I started a 30 day challenge this morning from something I heard from a preacher on T.V. yesterday.
The challenge was having a Personal Relationship with God. He gave four tips and reasons so I will show them here. He said that this is NOT the only way but it was his way of doing it.. So I say that again...THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO GO ABOUT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
1.) MAKE TIME. Matthew 6:33 " But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Psalms 119:18 " Open thou mine eyes"
If you have to SCHEDULE IT. Just put it on your calendar like you would any other appointment.
2.) READ YOUR BIBLE. This is the way to hear from God. Ask questions.
2 a.) What does this passage say?
2 b.) What can I take from it?
2 c.) How do I apply this passage to my life?
3.) RECORD YOUR THOUGHTS. Keep a spiritual diary. Write down what you are learning from each passage you study. Prayers you say and that are answered.
4.) REACH OUT IN PRAYER. Real prayer is hard work.. Make a planner for your prayers, ie... on Monday I will pray for people who are sick,. Tuesday I will pray for lost souls. Wednesday I will pray for .......... these are examples of how you can do it.... Do this for 30 days and see if you draw closer to God. I have accepted the challenge.
Well, this is how I started my morning off. I got up early and read in my Bible and I have prayed and I am writing down my thoughts.. So I did what I set out to do today.. Then came my first test and I do believe I flunked it.
I had to go and pick up grand kids for school. I called to tell them it was time to get up and they hung the phone up on me. Not a good way to start the day. Then when we are all in the car to leave, not one word was spoken to me on the 10 minute drive. Not a good way to start the day. So , they are off to school and I am on my own for a bit. I am so angry and hurt that I was ignored. I thought how rude and disrespectful this was.. I really was just beside myself with anger. I am driving along and talking to God about how this was just not right and guess what! BAM!! BAM! it hits me .Is this sometimes how God feels about us? Do we ignore him and hurt His feelings? Are we disrespectful and rude to God? This is not what I read about in my challenge today but I was challenged today. I have work to do LOTS of work to do before I can say I have what God wants for me in this relationship.. I am a work in progress. I will just keep on keeping on.....May God Bless your day with all you need .
Smile: it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet...

The Children's Living Bible: Romans 12
Good Evening Beloved,
I have been reading in Romans this past week and I am reading it from several different translations. This evening I am going to take from the Children's Living Bible. I will make direct quotes but I will highlight them so you will know it was from this bible. I will also paraphrase some too.
Romans 12:
Give your body to God, let it be a living sacrifice, holy , the kind he can accept. Don't copy the behavior of the world, be new and refreshing, different. " Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you." There are many members in our body and they all work differently and it is the same in the BODY OF CHRIST. There are many different members in Christ's body too, and we all need each other.
For example: I can not do what my husband does for our children, nor can he do what I do for them. We are the same , parents, but we have different roles with them.
God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.
So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, then prophesy whenever you can --as often as your faith is strong enough to receive a message from God. If your gift is serving others-- serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. If you are a preacher, see to it that your sermons are strong and helpful. If God has given you money , be generous in helping others with it. If God has given you administrative ability and put you in charge of the work of others , take the responsibility seriously. Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with Christian cheer. Don't just pretend that you love others: really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically.
Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always. When
God's children are in need , you be the one to help them out. And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or if they need lodging , for the night.
Don't curse others, pray that God will bless them. Be happy for others. If they are sad then share in their sorrow. Work happily together. Don't try to act big or try to get into the graces of important people. Don't pay evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible. Never avenge yourselves , leave that to God . ( DON'T TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS) . Instead , feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be " heaping coals of fire on his head. " Don't let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
This is written so that even a child can understand. Sometimes we miss out because we think to hard on a verse... This is really very simple.. I hope that it speaks to your heart the way it spoke to mind.
We all need reminders to do the right things.... I am going to pray for each one who reads this , right now.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Please forgive me and the one who is reading this of everything that we have done wrong today.. Thank you for being with us on this, the day You have made.... We are so blessed that we can have the Word of God before us...Thank you for Blood of Calvary. I pray Father that each one reading this would be blessed by your Word today . I add my prayers to theirs for Your Will to be done. In Jesus name. Amen

Double Portion
Good Evening Beloved,
I have so many things to tell you! I had such a great day today.. Mike and I went to a new church up in Lafayette. I had been invited by the Pastor from this church to come and visit, so we went today.
We went this morning to the regular church service and it was different from what we are use too. It was nice.. they had a guest speaker there today. We learned things that we had never heard before and that is always nice to do.... I don't want to mention names as I do not have permission to do so, but I can tell you this; this man was a good speaker.
We came home and found out that our church at home was not going to be in service this evening so we went back to Lafayette and I am so glad that we did. It was a amazing night of worship and prayer and teaching and healing.... I saw people go to the alter and say that they wanted to be free from smoking and this man ask them to throw their cigarettes away and to go and get them from their cars, lighters, matches, anything that had to do with smoking ; and they did!!! I saw people just fall down in the Spirit. I had something happen to me personally that I am still in shock about..
I had an accident on a motors scooter in September, 2011 and I have not been able to make a fist since then. This man said if anyone here has arthritis, it is gone.. I clamined it !! I can now make a fist, not with one hand but with both of them!!!! May not sound like a big deal , but let me tell you for me it was HUGE!! I can breath better too!! I know it was NOT this man but God who did this... I just am so excited it happened.
One week ago my oldest brother passed away. I am saddened by this.... I will miss knowing he is not in this world with us any longer.. BUT you know God.. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.... I was feeling pretty bad about my brother but tonight God gave me a very special gift. I met not one, but two new sisters!!! I got a double portion tonight when God put into my life two very wonderful, sweet , awesome ladies, Anna and Becky. We met and made friends right away.. I love it when that happens!!! I could go on and on and on but I won't ( at least not tonight :) ) I just had a great day today and that does not happen all that often.. I love to hear the Word of God come alive and it did for me at least on this day.. I don't mean to sound like it does not on other days but today was just kind of special... So, for tonight I will say this :
Smile: Remember it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless each of you . Tenderly with arms wrapped about you. Your sister in Christ Jesus

I have so many things to tell you! I had such a great day today.. Mike and I went to a new church up in Lafayette. I had been invited by the Pastor from this church to come and visit, so we went today.
We went this morning to the regular church service and it was different from what we are use too. It was nice.. they had a guest speaker there today. We learned things that we had never heard before and that is always nice to do.... I don't want to mention names as I do not have permission to do so, but I can tell you this; this man was a good speaker.
We came home and found out that our church at home was not going to be in service this evening so we went back to Lafayette and I am so glad that we did. It was a amazing night of worship and prayer and teaching and healing.... I saw people go to the alter and say that they wanted to be free from smoking and this man ask them to throw their cigarettes away and to go and get them from their cars, lighters, matches, anything that had to do with smoking ; and they did!!! I saw people just fall down in the Spirit. I had something happen to me personally that I am still in shock about..
I had an accident on a motors scooter in September, 2011 and I have not been able to make a fist since then. This man said if anyone here has arthritis, it is gone.. I clamined it !! I can now make a fist, not with one hand but with both of them!!!! May not sound like a big deal , but let me tell you for me it was HUGE!! I can breath better too!! I know it was NOT this man but God who did this... I just am so excited it happened.
One week ago my oldest brother passed away. I am saddened by this.... I will miss knowing he is not in this world with us any longer.. BUT you know God.. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.... I was feeling pretty bad about my brother but tonight God gave me a very special gift. I met not one, but two new sisters!!! I got a double portion tonight when God put into my life two very wonderful, sweet , awesome ladies, Anna and Becky. We met and made friends right away.. I love it when that happens!!! I could go on and on and on but I won't ( at least not tonight :) ) I just had a great day today and that does not happen all that often..

The Last Trump
Good Morning Beloved,
I am reading a book called " FOUR BLOOD MOONS" By John Hagee . On page
89 of this book, it starts talking about THE LAST TRUMP.
I write that to say this.. A group of woman from my church has been watching cd's on the End Time.
I saw these cd's and I looked up more by the person who was speaking on them and found one on " The Rapture".. Now to go on and explain why two different views.
The series of cd's person says that according to 1 Corinthians 15: 51-52 that at the last trumpet we ( the church) will go through the tribulation.
Now this is what John Hagee says in the book FOUR BLOOD MOONS, page 89-91.
The Bible tells of a series of trumpets is recorded in the book of Revelation and they are seven judgments coming on the earth. The first trumpet ( shofar) sound recorded in the Bible is where the children of Israel received the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai. The last trump is recorded in
1 Corinthians 15:52 when the church is raptured. The great trump is blown when at the second coming of Jesus Christ , as recorded in Matthew 24: 30-31 The sign will appear of the Son of Man in heaven.
We are to be watching for his soon coming to take the church..
There are so many different theories out there, we need to get into scripture and ask God to show us what we need so we can make up our own minds.. Please don't take someone at their word just because..... study to show your self approved like it says in 2 Timothy 2:15.
When we stand to be judged , we will be standing ALONE; so make sure of what you know.
I am sure that as I get more into this book I will post more.. I love the Word of God and I want to know more about it and what it is saying to us. Once again I am not a scholar nor a teacher just someone who loves the Word of God and wants to share what I am learning...
Remember to smile : It is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you. Tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie
