Letter to Mamaw

On By mygodroomIn gratitudeLeave a comment

Happy “non-100th” Birthday, Mamaw!

I drove by Tallent Drugs and imagined your time there in McCaysville this past weekend. It blows my mind that they have served the Copper Hill area since the 1920s! Praise God, they survived the Great Depression and the gargantuan struggles Georgia faced with boll weevils decimating the cotton industry.

Mom was spot-on about the importance of understanding history in context. You know God gave me my wonderful mom through you for His Good Purpose.

Your birthday is the perfect time for an exponentially long love letter! This will be Part I.

The quality time alone at the bridge dedicated to your Chief (and daddy) William T “Boss” Mull will become part of another book in the next 100 Days. Since compiling the Family Book 2.5 years ago, there have been babies, weddings, and a profoundly beautiful funeral for Marie.

For such a last-minute trip, I was blessed to spend time with Don, Marcia, and Johnny. I know you loved them and would have enjoyed the banter, laughter and of course, their spouses Betweeen the beauty, birdies and time on the water , I was turning cartwheels in my heart, before even getting to The Octogon! Oh, how you showed up in spirit We all love you. You were always beloved and remain so 💜✝️💜

If there is a next generation, the truth must be preserved. My personal “Ruby of the Day” was John 17 today. What a sweet and perfectly timed lesson on divining rods, dreams and deliverance.

It made me wonder if everyone “gets the memo” in Heaven about miracles as they happen. What qualifies as “news” or important info to share? What a fun question for me to ask The Boss’ Boss, too!!! Of course, I want to learn how Heaven’s “Not-a-jumbotron” message delivery system works.

Being with Jesus, you may or may not know about all “our Mull” Miracles in this generation. As much as I miss you and love Jesus, I am in no hurry to get that answer. 😜

God is still in the healing business, and that would be a ton of info. It makes my human brain hurt. Either way, please hug Jesus (for me) for the extra sweet teaching today. I am convinced the Mull Choir interceded with “Jesus & Georgia” for Johnny’s Miracle Healing.

Our Mull Family Tree

Finished the John 17 study and found the original video proving Johnny was released after those 94 days of COVID on a Thursday, January 14, 2021.

Scearce -Georgia Police Chief Confirmation

Divine humor is the best, of course! Chattanooga Friday traffic and January 15 were both “extra crowded”!!! So glad I shared “Aleen making the case to the Good Lord” with Johnny and Brenda on Sunday. There is no denying God’s timing was perfect…regardless of which side of Heaven was praying for Johnny Scearces’ miracle healing! James 1:17 remains Golden Truth.

Waking up from the dream of being in your kitchen and hearing Reba was confusing. Reba wasn’t popular in your lifetime like she is today. Most of my dreams are actual memories being replayed. I was grateful to be off work today to “pray and write it out”.

Message me or comment if you want to read the second part. It’s all about a dream God gave me with a certain country song made popular 35 years ago….and how it could not have been mistake 💜✝️💜

Sex Mystery Part 2

Wowza. I could write so many things which would not be received well. What I will say in response is that at 57, peri-menopause- post menopause is just a ton of syllables for one. Hell.

Hell on earth for most women But, a bearable and redeemable hell. 🤣🤣🤣 For any married couple, I would strongly encourage listening to this series. Just listen to what God says in His Word and understand the lens needs to be expanded from whatever we were taught or experienced before marriage. It’s on point, no doubt.

Going on a cruise in three weeks and I would prefer to not worry about sunscreen. My husband recommended these sun shirts and I dig the idea.

We were both a bit shocked with how big the medium was on me yesterday. God blessed me with a husband who truly wants the best for me. He took his time “off” this morning to return to Sam’s or Costco to snag this one.

Thank you, Father God, for the ways you are clearly answering so many prayers. Please keep me vigilant and on guard. I love you. In Jesus powerful name, amen.

Obedience and Gratitude

On By mygodroomIn gratitudeLeave a comment

Let love rule my life. Thank you, Jesus.

I heard the second half of this sermon on my way home last night. I asked Mark this morning if we could listen to the first ten minutes together. We did. We both listened while we worked.

Hope to hear the second part tomorrow evening.

When someone loses the weight I have lost, they desire new clothes, more often than not.

I just desire to keep the memories and preserve the dresses. Like my own heart which has been circumcised, now the dresses get cut, too. 😇

I am super excited to visit family in Blue Ridge this weekend. Lord, show me the way to honor my Mamaw.

We close at 8. I was closing up the shop when Rachel texted. I didn’t see it until after 8 pm. I just happened to still be there.

This is what happened next. Praise, praise and more Praise!!’ 💜✝️💜

Tuesday the 22nd

There is s a time to slow down and I am finally learning that lesson for the sake of those i love. For me to make effective changes, Quality Jesus Time is necessary. My home was incredibly peace-filled with my QTJ and the steam cleaning the upstairs. My evening with my husband was so sweet and lovely because I was nudged to intentionally save that energy. Turns out, foot rubs can really warm up frozen toes and human hearts. What another humbling lesson for me to just let Jesus lead me in everything in blind obedience.

It was a much slower “day off” for me, especially considering I was blessed with an empty house for the first time in five weeks. Normally, I would have gone “ninety to nothing”. Fun times, seriously! I could have cleaned out the entire bonus room if my left hamstring wasn’t being a bit of a wanker. I just knew that if I did everything I wanted to do, my energy would not be right when Mark arrived home. We have our Small Group tomorrow night and the last thing I needed to do was “over-do” anything.

Just me and Jesus, His Word, catching up on the phone and doing some steam cleaning. The biggest thing on my personal page was sharing Sweet Pea Salón Suites. Lord, please forgive the disappointment I felt in my heart that their church has somehow forgotten how to Love You and Love People. It is not my place to judge. I know better. You also know exactly what it hurt my heart to be the third person to like her new business page. Not a single member of the church, many of whom are clients, shared a single post from her new business. Thank you for listening to me beg for our mutual helper to “get poking” . 💜✝️💜.

Forgive me, Lord. I know they all adore her and her entire family. Please show me which beauty industry friends and customers I know who may benefit from the August 1 open house.

Looking at old photos today was very grounding for me. It’s a fun little part of how the Holy Spirit teaches me things. In this photo, my kiddos are on the left and I am seven in the photo on the right. old. My daughter is my mini-me in countless ways. She is even more exceptional in her differences. It’s sublime to be so understood on a deeper level than most parents by both of my children, in different ways. Grateful doesn’t scratch the surface!

Thank you, God, for the bajillion-plus time, for my children. Thank you for making it clear that I have never idolized them; I have always idolized YOU for giving me babies when doctors said it was so unlikely. My kiddos have always been Jesus to me. “Seek Sunshine” came from his lips first and Sunshine was her Fifth Word. +squee* I love you so much. 💜✝️💜

I could hear Morgan at seven with all her Sass. I wrote down many of the amazing things they did and said as toddlers and elementary school age back on MySpace 2004-2009. Fun expressions, outrageous humor and stupendous heart were evident to every person who ever met them. Some of those expressions replayed looking at the photos.

Only the Holy Spirit can retrieve post menopausal long term memories. 🤣. Thank you, Father God, for the tremendous joy and peace in my heart.

With it vividly replaying again as I type this, may I remember the innocence once again restored today on my spirit.

Yes, Lord. Thank you for reminding me of why you want us to love like children.

.

It’s kinda cute to me how after the big surges with the Holy Spirit, time is spent learning why and how so many things are interconnected. Oh, how I treasure my children ! However, it was made clear to me I have not idolized them. I have always, always, ALWAYS idolized only the Master of the Universe. There is no name higher than Jesus.

I also came across some photos of my bestie on the day Junior was born. 💜✝️💜. I can’t share a picture of my biggest Bible notes for the day because I wrote my besties new address, effective August 1, smack dab in the middle of the page. The stand out was Mary not belittling the gifts God gave her and how we should never belittle the same.

What stood out on our “Catch up call” was how Casey described the process of getting ready to move. “It has been good…but, it has been ALOT”. How apropos 💜✝️💜

Thank you, Lord, for all you have done, are doing and will do. I love you so very much.

Rest with Jesus

On By mygodroomIn gratitudeLeave a comment

Yesterday, I posted this to Facebook and did not mention it in yesterday’s post. It would be impossible to write down every single thing God does in our lives. The call to me is to write down some big things and some little things, too. It feels good to do what the spirit says in obedience and trust everything will come together in His Timing.

I have written about Nichol, Lila and Hailee here in My God Room. My prize before bed is getting to read the old posts to see what is clearer or not. It’s a fun little Holy Spirit game.

Today we listened to Part 7 of Let’s Get Healthy series by Waters Church. What an amazing message and completely on point for all I have experienced in the past two months. Thank you for that divine humor, Father God.

Resting with you can very much appear like not slowing down to the world. I love the six hours worth of rest you give me in a half hour of worldly sleep. I love, love, LOVE our relationship and seek to improve it daily.

While I poured out much love in several places, the biggest messages were on my Facebook Post from yesterday about meeting my Georgia Angels. No doubt, my three lessons before the sermon were fueling the love-bombing. Mark 11, Psalm 24 and Hebrews 4. 💜✝️💜

What is hilarious to me is I know we talked about the shared birthdays of my son and Johnny’s mama, Aleen , more than once. Still, the Holy Spirit reminded me of many connections and answered prayers of the past 60 days. I was called to “write it down” and it took ALOT. 🤣. Easier to read in text than from a photo.

Brenda Ware Scearce, Agreed!!! It is super cool to look back and see His Hand on all of it. We loved the special times we shared together , as well. I love that we were also able to have FUN over wings/beers, cleaning up the graveyard debris and celebrating together at your granddaughters birthday party, despite Mark being unable to make those trips.

Please know I treasure every minute, too. I just confirmed the party was, in fact, 2/5/23. That weekend at Donald Mull amd Jode Pottorff Mull’s was the exact weekend I texted Mark and told him we we needed to get to Italy before year end! So much more to the story…but connecting those experiences to the same weekend is very helpful to me, so thank you.

Dates do matter if a person has been called to remember them.

As far as getting Johnny’s Journey documented, start sending me a few pictures from your journal! The facts must be outlined and chronicled before filling in the details. October (what date) 2020, Johnny entered the hospital. Since the story is about the miracle delivered through his COVID healing journey, it seems vital to have all the medical minutiae outlined before then overlaying the personal story telling.

Just a thought…being shared 2.5 years after our first Godversation about the book on your hearts.

Lynne H. Van Atta, would Dale be able to confirm “best biography adjacent book principles” for us? Or, let me know if what was just placed on my heart makes good book writing sense for my cousin?

What say you, Katy Bowser Hutson? Is there a best practice to “PLAY” around with book flow?

Brenda, Mark and I have not been out of town together for even one full weekend since being blessed with three weeks in Italy( Sep/Oct 2023! Huge paradigm shift because politicians want people to return to cigarettes instead of vaping. So, we run bare bones staff these days.

Regardless, our last shared trip to Blue Ridge was the month prior for Marks birthday. My personal last trip was for Marie Mull’s funeral in 11/5/2023.

Hmmm. Birthdays and Funerals…

We just discussed this morning my heart to drive to have brunch in Blue Ridge. It is NOT ridiculous to drive three hours for love! 💜✝️💜 It just keeps coming up in huge ways. Mamaw Ruby would have been celebrating her 100th birthday on July 29, 2025, if the Good Lord did not call her home 5/8/81.

God Willing, I will be at The General Ledger for a late 2 pm brunch next Sunday, 7/27/25. I want to walk across the bridge named for my great grandfather in McCaysville and mosey over to enjoy our favorite local specials at The General Ledger with local loves. The hatch chile cornbread is on me. 🤣

It will not break my heart to also pick up dinner at The Black Sheep and smell it as I drive home. We can eat that meal while we both work Monday, July 28. Just a nifty way to extend the Sunday vibes.

Yeppers, that is the plan for me.

Open invite for anyone who has time to join me for a meal next Sunday afternoon in Blue Ridge, Georgia. Totally understand time is limited for everyone, not just us.

God bless and keep everyone!

Other than that there was a love bomb to The Murray’s. I think I want to pray more about how to “lovebomb” them better. They are so much more than a lovely family across the street. I delivered the cookies Rachel kindly baked with some goats milk soap , stickers for all six kids and safety matches as a reminder of how grateful I am for their spiritual support. This, after being delayed because I was writing in a card for them and visited the wife’s profile for spiritual inspiration.

I searched for “life verse” and got deluged with mutual love for Rich Mullins. This much goodness just needs more time to process.

Until tomorrow, I shall continue my sauna and be grateful for this glorious day. God bless and keep all who read anything in My GodRoom. 💜✝️💜

3G Text

On By mygodroomIn gratitudeLeave a comment

Because these women know I have written this exact text to them today and understand the purpose behind it, I am free to use their given names.

This was a simple text to Miss Eva this morning, sharing the products added from Miss Linda’s business. Her response was used mightily today! #WOJOY is my favorite new acronym. 💜✝️💜

Sent just after 11 am.

It still needs to be “cleaned up” to make it read “clean” to others. I am NOT sharing Linda’s beautiful and extensive responses. They are, however, confirmation of everything God put on my heart. it took four plus hours to rewrite and send to Linda and Eva. It’s now 8:42 pm, my hubby is soon to be out of the tub.

Obedience requires I share what the Holy Spirit ensured I wrote down today.

Linda, yay for the prices all being accurate! Super excited to share all your goodies and get more sold for you. I believe God has big things planned for you, Eva and myself to do together. No clue what those things may be, only that it would be a sin for me to not write it down the best I can. Lord, please help this flow in a way which makes sense to all three of us and honors YOU at every turn.

No rush or long response required. I do have one simple question at the very end…how should I refer to your late husband?

First things first, I praise God for gentle corrections, along with everything else. I see now why my excited utterances to Eva could not be sent to her three- plus hours ago. I was meant to wrestle with it for hours and be gently corrected by my First Husband. It was meant to be that I send it to you at the same time.

Now that we’ve established it takes me a long time to process awesomeness, I must write out a Godversation which includes your husband, Linda. You are ONE in my heart and I don’t even know the name you called him. I flipped to Psalm 65-66 this morning and fireworks ensued! .



The first thing I did after studying commentaries on Psalm 65 and 66 was to add 11 categories of products for Parham Farms. I shared the excitement with Eva and the same screenshot my husband sent you, Linda.

Eva texted something about our hearts for widows and orphans. I am certain we touched on the “widows and orphans theme”, last night, Linda. Eva and I have gone deep diving into the topic together. You are the first “technically a widow” person to have products in our shop. The Holy Spirit loves to teach me things through His People and I’ve learned a ton from you both already! Thank you, both.

As one does, I like to give nicknames to make things clear. Instead of explaining a thousand times what I mean by #WOJOY, explaining it once where we are on the same page is ideal. Lots of words to start, but far less words later.

At the heart, #WOJOY is about the joy which comes from the only religion God finds worthy…that which serves widows and orphans of many varieties. know I did not get into #WOJOY with either of you yet. How ? Eva’s text was the catalyst God used to put #WOJOY on my heart and WO(E) to anyone who chooses to not hear or see or causes any little one to stumble. #WOJOY was born today into our first mutual Godversation. When God gives me a word, I must share it. 💜✝️💜

So, #WOJOY is ablaze from Eva’s sweet text. Instantly, I googled, ” survived by Linda Parham” to learn your husband’s name. Powerful. My mamaw was 55 when she died, but it was 44 years ago this past May 8. Your husband would have been 44 this year….

May 8-July 8…Eva has heard countless God Moves Between May 8 and July 8. The Holy Spirit loves to give me “bookends” to remember what He has done.

I was shocked I did not ask his name yesterday- but we also had tons of stuff to go through and so forth. Make sense? But I don’t know if you called him Matthew, Matt, Keith or something else. So, please do share the best way for me to refer to your love. Feel free to talk about him and your favorite things that you miss. Like which was his favorite jelly? 💜

Weird or not…odd or God as our Eva says- the insta nudge obit said he passed June 30. My sister just celebrated her 60th June 30 and there are other powerful God stories tied to June 30. But I couldn’t send the message because it felt too long. lol. A lot like this one to you, NOW. 🤣

I was writing Eva a novel about the connections – and how I did not know what you called him. Matt, Matthew or Keith. It’s been hours and how every obit says June 28.

Today, I guess I need confirmation as to which date he passed and what name you most often called him. More specifically, what name would you like for me to call him?

Confirmation she called him Matt and he passed on June 28, not the June 30 date first returned to me.

Thank you, Father God, for constantly showing up and showing off for me. Thank you for slowing me down and teaching me so much through “”all my girls”.

Fourth of July Freedom

Listen. Linger Love. Check, Check, Check! ✅

I thought I would sleep quite late today. I was wrong. When the spirit guided me to the bathroom in the wee hours, I was guided to my memories on this day.

Becoming more intentional at reviewing something as simple as Facebook Memories has proven to be a blessing. I get to see all the “Jesus posts” of the past and praise God for all the ways He intentionally decided to grow me. I see old friends and recall those lessons and laughter, as well.

Floodgates. Again. Rushing waters representing the power of every genuine tear shed for loving Jesus and others as I do. It felt like I was being shown my “useless tears” fit in a shot glass. Shot glasses and streams are be beyond beautiful .

Everything you do in my life is beautiful, Jesus. Thank you! #ISWYDT

Anywho, one of the old memories is tied to one of my husband’s friends, Jared. Mark met him just prior to High School, To be clear, I have never met Jared. Still, he left a comment THIRTEEN YEARS ago on a music post about Collective Soul’s song called SHINE.

His old comment spurred the Spirit into action. Jesus has been carving out a sacred Fifth Quadrant in my Heart for the past three years. It’s a lesson and spiritual marker to remember where His Spur hits,

I feel that “giddy up” differently now. I can’t even type “giddy up” without remembering all God did throughout 2023 and Italy with horses!

He has ever-so-fervently told me, “I AM a Jesus Cheerleader and He is Mine”. Given that spirit and conviction, obedience required me to send a voice mail to 100 people. The voice mail message I was directed to share confused almost everyone. Regardless, it was a really interesting lesson on many levels.

The voice mail did not confuse My Roxann. In fact, she said in a responding voice mail that she sensed the message may have been for her. Her last name should begin with Summer and not Winter, as she is a ray of pure Sonshine.

Thank you, Jesus 💜✝️💜

Keeping it simple because the beauty and power felt on this day could never be put into words. It will always be best to remember the excitement in her voice message and to picture me chatting with my sister in Christ in our Master Bedroom.

We got downright GIDDY TOGETHER. The closest parallel is how it felt to get phone time back in the 1980’s. I literally felt like a thirteen year old talking to my bestie in the 7th.

This post is more than enough to bring the day back to remember His Hand on all of it. Right down to her pastor’s tragic circumstances and the beautiful way they honor “dollar” multiplication, Gods Way. God bless Andy, too. 💜✝️💜

Roxann and I met in Montepulciano nearly two years ago and have been Facebook Friends ever since. Miss RoxAnn is decades older than myself and yet we felt the same age on the phone. Oh, how I adore her precious heart!

We were both His Kiddos on the phone and it was glorious, indeed!!!

It’s rather perfect He sent me the absolutely most firecracker worthy Godversation possible on the Fourth of July. Only God. Only the Master of the Universe.

Oh, Sweet Jesus, how could I ever praise you enough?

Drowning in Joy!

Thank you, Lord! Wow. You literally use every little thing and make it be used for your good purposes. I see why you took me here to 2 COR super early.

💜✝️💜. Hands on your word = Electricity.

After the disappointing hurt of a certain situation last week, this text has lifted not only myself, but my husband. Thank you, again, Jesus!

Oddly did not see until after 12:30!

Leaving this here in My GodRoom for posterity.

For funsies, I don’t recall mentioning it in recent days, but NINE years ago, this photo was posted after Vans Warped Tour. As I opened the shop, the one song which will forever be a song between my daughter and I began to play and I was immediately transformed. I sent to her and was nudged to share the silliness to FB, too.

I see my Jesus with me and pray others only see the Jesus in me. He is all that is good or wonderful about me. Only Jesus.
