At some point in the middle of the night, I was reading fantastic articles on Answers in Genesis.
Huge problem with this article. I am to link it here .
This article is eight years old. However, it could be a stumbling block. For someone to see so much accuracy regarding Genesis in one place that ultimately reverts to “one pair of animals” is not an issue for me in my flesh.
All I know is The Holy Spirit is not letting me rest until I document the problem. I am deferring to My Boss.
Lord, it’s 6:36. Thank you for all you have placed in my path today, virtually or physically. Special thanks for answering Marks prayer this morning to send in less people with higher sales numbers. The first three sales all were about 400. No doubt it was you. We praised you, Jehovah-Jireh, together.
You know it makes me giddy to hear that “uplifting sound” in his spirit. Thank you, too, for Rachel’s passionate heart regarding your law. Thank you for every encounter I experienced with Jesus today.
Starting the day as we did, I am not surprised I was pulled over for a much-deserved speeding ticket. Thank you for Officer Mangrum’s kindness when I told him I was praising and failed to pay attention. My fault. He did not write me a ticket. Thank you, Jesus.
Miss Olivia was the first Godversation today. She was wearing a shirt for Chappel Roan. I spoke kind and positive words of encouragement without getting preachy. Then she told me she desperately needed it and I hugged her. Ultimately, her mother is heavy into an evangelical movement and speaking harsh words about various groups and pushing Trump as an idol of sorts. It felt good to just pour out love to her.
I shared the true gospel to the best of my ability and told her that I am sorry she is struggling with the example she has in her life.
Connor shared about Cheyenne. He didn’t want to date someone more than 100 miles away. She is just over 200. However, every important piece works together beautifully. He took it as a sign when learning she is to eventually inherit over 200 acres.
Miles visited with his grandmother. I congratulated him on his new job at Chick-Fil-A. I was nudged to “ooze respect” and did. Rather than rewrite all the details, Paige called me from her home in Waco, TX, to convey gratitude for how I engaged with her son. The Godversation was extended and ended with me giving her my personal cell phone number.
I asked my husband, Rachel and Joyce to join me in praying for Miles. They also asked we pray for Paige’s peace and joy in any circumstance. Lord, it thrills my heart when my husband prays with me. Thank you for him.
Miss Maddie visited and shared she will be moving to the Ozarks. Thank you for letting me encourage her with all the changes she is facing.
Jeremy- grateful for a restroom not being held back from him. Simple kindness matters.
Miss Anika shared about Tyler and we had a lovely conversation.
Big Gee- wanting a hug and praising God for it. 💜✝️💜
Zion returned and we enjoyed a high-spirited Godversation. I loved hearing him talk about how his pastor laid out the election. Forget the candidate. Look at the Bible and look at the agenda. There is the answer! Looking forward to meeting Miss Savannah and Navy Reign, their baby girl. As he travels for the funeral of his godmother and murdered friend, please protect him, Lord. I believe you have big plans for him.
I acknowledge you in ALL GOOD and this gloriously beautiful and productive day at the shop. I moved shelves, reorganized and cleaned out some old dust bunnies. It feels otherworldly to do everything, every little thing, as if I am doing for Jesus himself. Thank you, Father God, for an abundantly blessed day. I love you.
It will all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble, it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna make this place your home

Interesting choice , ABBA Oh, the thoughts which percolate when you get me out of bed super early with a song playing that clearly in my heart. Will google how old the song it later today for kicks and giggles. Yessir, I will read EVERY LINE of the lyrics.
What will it cause me to pray? Praise? oh! I love this game! Woo hoo, FIND YOU EVERYWHERE.
Yesterday, President Trump was declared the winner. Decisively. Thank you, God. Again. Thank you for hearing all the prayers from me and everyone else praying for it to be CLEARLY DECIDED and minimize CHAOS. As we prayed last light to heal our land and our people, i felt genuine hope for our country.
We did miss Brother Bob and Miss Tammy last night.
Miss Angel shared her pain as I was there. It was after the video, EXACTLY when I visited the restroom. Crop the photo later. Get back to bed.
It felt like it could be an attack of the enemy when texts continued. This is a customer and acquaintance. I have shared many Godversations with her . Learning she was so despondent over an election, it felt different. Did she reach out to me with something deceitful in her heart?? Please reveal the truth. She lives with her actual birth mother and I thought it was a work or mom conflict. Lord, you know my heart, my prayer Make it clear how to engage in future, please.
Search my heart and help me understand why I didn’t share the prayer with her as I did so many others yesterday? Yes, I will keep asking for the tongue to be controlled. Especially for President Trump, yet also me.
Thank you for the anointed journal entry Dawn shared with me yesterday. That was close to feeling like the HUG. 🤗
Jesus, oh how I love how you make me laugh! You put clean and hilarious jokes in my mouth last night. Brother Bill is going to get similarly roasted at our next gathering. Oh, the election exhausted you? Seriously? Forgive me. Lord, if there is some judgement not meant to be mine on my heart.
Ok, let’s get real. I think it’s fair to say I do question when anyone seems to be spiritually healthy and actions do not reflect that as truth. I always bring those situations to you in prayer. After nine years of doing life together, we have learned each other as individuals, as well. I’m human and bad habits creep in like snakes, right? So, if I am forming any judgement in this discerning process, I am asking for you to reveal it to me. Make it clear what I am called to discern and act upon
The Holy Spirit has been buzzing in my ear when speakers are bad for my ears, just like with Miss Melissa’s “prosperity recovery preacher”. That’s fantastic. But when language is course or ugly spirited and they do not care how it is perceived., it’s strange how people get upset. Please keep sharpening my sword, Lord. But don’t let me be like one who hears your word, yet does not do it.
Back to our Small group last night. It was extra special. When your gracious hostess prepares gravy, one does not even get to complain about not having butter on the table. 🤣 Terri baked scratch rolls and a phenomenal beef stew. Butter jokes for days because Jason is so dryly hilarious. There was gravy lovingly prepared and it was CUTE how we all joked with Jason.
Shared openly after study about where You have me on SEVEN FEASTS. Loving, Respectful and 200% SMILEY MC SMILESON.
Marty shared his Passover Seder experience as being truly beautiful. Said the family lived with their lamb in the house.
Methinks perhaps a Rabbinic rule?
Matthew 7 verse THREE times.
James 1-21 to James 2: 14. (Confirm)
This will be restructured and edited later. Go to bed
It is 3:18. Feels like more sleep than mere hours
Trump is shy three votes. YOU are still on the throne. I am sitting on the toilet in our bathroom! Thank you for our bathroom ministry. I am remembering how they started coming to me in bathrooms even BEFORE I “officially” came back you. You used the rape to prepare me for everything in this moment. The gravity of the weight of this truth is substantial.
I believe I have already repented for any time I was not open to LISTENING to EVERY PERSON. Please reveal to me any time I have failed to meet your standard. Like any child, I learn from making mistakes. Please keep growing me.
Forgiving others opens up more of this sacred quadrant in my heart with you. I love feeling this extra lobe in my lungs, too. May I always remember you changed “lobe” to “love” three times. You really are the Master Comedian, too. 🤣
Thank you, again, for putting Don Dickerman s Book in my hands. Oh, the PIGS! More Jesus and Less Carol is always the best math and the best recipe for peace. That was EXACTLY three months ago. Oh, how awesome you give me dates to remember! What an AMAZING PRIZE you gave me just before drifting to the sweetest slumber!!!
Lord, thank you for directing me to cling to the HEART YOU GENEROUSLY GAVE ME. Trusting you as my GPS is easier than ever
Spiritual training is like pruning any plant or tree. Only in the pruning is the sweetest fruit produced. Thank you for pruning me, Lord. You removed the obstacles. What you have taught me about false doctrine this past month was confirmation of many things with two of our previous church leaders.
Thank you, Jehová-Jireh! You always provide.
You gave me three Z’s and tuned me into minor prophets years ago. It all leads to this moment with you IN MY BATHROOM. It is always so sweet when you make me giggle. Zeph and Zach and…
This is how it feels when you are excited in my obedience. MAGNIFIED. 💜✝️💜
Lord, you know my standard prayer list. Praise abounds for all the confirmation and beauty yesterday.
Our Radical Rachel, my sister and your daughter, has shared more of the depth of her hurt with me. Lord, you know how deeply I feel the pain of others. Her specific pains have impacted me in my own path. You know I feel those shared experiences even deeper.
Yessir, I am writing it down. It is not asking or telling you my pain, it is describing the heart condition in coming to you. Being aware of YOUR PRESENCE , PROTECTION and PROVISION in all of it. I am bringing YOUR HURT under my heart, too. I don’t know how it is you let me feel pain as a blessing, I am just grateful. Small price for “added instruction”. 😇The HEART of the INTERCEDER matters to you. Of course it does! Duh, Carol!
You have never abandoned me. Never!!!
So, from that depth of depths, Father God, before these quickly forming tears begin to rain on my phone, because you are bringing me more of Rachel’s pain (happy tears), I plead for Rachel’s needs. If there were things her children were spared because of any physical separation…may those provisions become clear to her and may she thank you for hidden provision. May they read her messages and may YOU be planting seeds through those one way exchanges. May you guide Rachel’s heart and encourage her in any way she may need to CHANGE MESSAGE or FREQUENCY.
If restraint is needed, please reveal it to my sister. You know how much love you put in our heart for her! I believe you are going to deliver the victory in 2025. I sense this season of separation is meant to be extended as you prepare Rachel in your WORD and with YOUR SPIRIT. Oh, how she loves you! Help me love her the way she needs at this time. Let me be a blessing to her, Father God. Selfishly, you know how I love to witness such victories. I am asking in the name of your precious son, Jesus, and every drop of blood He shed for us. I love you so much. Amen.
Five minutes later, or less:
PS. You are leading me to feel like I am wrong to say “selfishly”. As always, you are correct. All of your kids should desire to SEE VICTORIES. I am listening. I just don’t deserve the abundance of Blessings you shower me with daily. Miracles! EXPERIENCES! Last night’s good night hug! My soul sister, Rachel’s angelic voice! Oh, my, I am going to go read what you gave me while Mark listened to the election. Praise Yah!!!
Father God,
As I sit here in bed with my husband, he is listening to the election returns. As his wife, he has honored my inability to absorb politics and news. He knows it makes me physically ill. Thank you for making me feel like I am floating elsewhere enough to mute the details. I am safe here with you.
I have no way to thank you for that surreal experience. After this most palpably present day, I was already overflowing and pouring over. So much goodness jotted here and so much left to share! How will I ever get all the testimony written? I feel like I am bursting into some type of rays of light or sparkles or confetti or something!
For now, I just have to fight these happy tears before they make it impossible to type on my phone. You know it it gets for me. I understand the source of these tears. I am so grateful for them and for you.
So please, please let me PRAISE, PRAISE and PRAISE you!!!! I am in awe of that hug from Jesus thru the video my daughter sent me of the VISION HOUSE!
What a GLORIOUS feeling of TOTAL COMPLETENESS. I think this is the gist of what you wanted me to write. Please wake me to finish if I fell short. I love you.
Obedience isn’t always pretty.
Instead of writing it out, screen shots are acceptable.
I shared my prayer for Rachel immediately after posting it. I had to get cleaned up to be in public. I went to our shop to sign the HELOC around 1:30, as I needed to deposit a check for our Elevated Table order.
As if this wasn’t enough, I received more confirmation from Sweet Sabrina’s husband, Stately Scott. lol. “Great Scott’s” will forever make me smile to remember what God did in our little shop. Blessing him was so fun because it lit up his face in a new way. .
Teacher Kelly and I prayed together for parents and kids and the entire world to stand ON THE ROCK💜✝️💜
Mighty Melissa visited and brought me a coffee cup, Summer Berry Lotion and some cookies. She is the young lady with four boys I took to Carmen’s Taqueria two Sundays ago. I don’t think I am supposed to share any of her personal business in a way it could point back to her. So, I will not post the photo I took during her visit. It’s not even of our faces, but our feet. Thank you, Lord, I will not forget our feet.
Given what the Lord has taught me through “Famous Amos”, the cookies she gave me are perfect. I don’t eat a lot of processed food, but these tasted like manna from heaven to me.
The way the Holy Spirit was moving was palpable. I ultimately knew she needed to give that cup and lotion as a gift to Miss Annette. Much later, she confirmed it was true. For Melissa to straight up ask certain questions and the way the Holy Spirit directs words is overwhelmingly beautiful.
For the Godversation to be at a GOOD STOPPING POINT so I could encourage her to get to the 6pm NA Meeting was PERFECT. Only His Timing is that perfect, never mine.
My husband texted that the dinner I was expecting is not possible. He knows the Oszczakiewicz in me is much like my earthly daddy’s use to be. Don’t tell me we are having BLT’s and prepare a filet mignon! interesting how the scrip got flipped with this morning’s prayer post being confirmed in several ways.
Because Mark knew I was up in the wee hours , I knew he would need encouragement that I was not “lost in time”. I was getting instruction for about twelve hours on Sunday, while he was away with friends at the lake. Monday was an exhausting day and today is Election Day.
Mark knows my relationship with Jesus is more important to me than my relationship with him. It can create issues if I fail to meet earthly obligations given to me from God. There is a balance to growing intentionally, especially with our spouse. We have to both grow closer to God to become closer to each other.
Jubilant Julie and Miss Verona , both from Egypt, visited. Oh, Lord, how they loved the Mervat story! Julie had gone to get her wallet and Verena told me , “God did that “. They are both Christians and they told me they attend church at St.Verena in Nolensville. I’m googled and only see St. Verena Coptic Church on Edmondson Pike.
Verena told me will be open for years to come. They called me CUTE in various ways. I see what you did there, you gave me a proper “night cap”.
Minnesota Spencer. 💜✝️💜
Georgia Chris and Cherie. (sure-eee). 💜✝️💜
Heavenly Father, thank you for the rest, whatever the hours it was delivered. Feasts, please! I would starve without your WORD. I would be lost without your law, precepts and direction. You ARE my “GPS” , Jesus, as you are God’s Perfect Son.
Thank you in advance for a smooth closing today on the HELOC for the obstacles YOU are removing through your past provision. The “He Is Loving Our Community” message comforts me, as we have opened our business on the Sabbath for eleven years. I trust you will make it clear IF our business hours are to change. Thank you for showing me the “reel” of the brothers and sisters who visit on Saturday. Our business is named Community because YOU gave us that WORD when we prayed about the business. You are honored every day in our business, perhaps more so on the seventh day.
Oh, yes, I see how you put the law in my non-Jewish heart. You drew me closer and closer to make it known in my heart that I am YOURS. It makes perfect sense to desire my life to look more like Jesus’ perfect example. You do not expect us to be perfect. You literally gave all your children a living, breathing example. You know the pain in my heart for those who deny your TRUTH.
What a clear answer. Praise Yah! When we encounter hearts of stone, we are to remember what you shared through Ezekiel. Those unwilling to engage in healthy discourse are not truly humbled and taught by your WORD AND SPIRIT They misapply the WORD without your SPIRIT.
Yes, the world would change for YOUR BETTER if every child woke up each day in a spirit of true submission to YOUR WILL. Sit in the bed or get on your knees…anytime, anywhere. Raise our hands to you and humbly praise you for the day before and pray for the day we face. COMPLETE SUBMISSION ensures we contend for our faith as you directed and clarified through Jude.
Thank you, Lord, for titling this post. Thank you for the bajillion things which rushed my heart as I greeted my day with you.
Oh, Yah, keep bringing your soldiers to my view!!! Let us armor up and march in unity. This is KEY.
Thank you for encouraging me to hang two different metals and remember YOUR WORD and your prophets and what you have taught me about dross and everything else. Thank you for reminding me yesterday, as I drove to my daughter’s earthly home. I love the armor you have given us. Okay, okay, I do love EVERYTHING about you that I know. I love what I didn’t know as well …love learning the HIDDEN THINGS.
Talk about CUTE 🤣🤣🤣. Yes, I see YOU are driving the perceptions of others when they have Godversations with me. When children are TRULY being CUTE, our hearts soften. You make me CUTE because that is what softens their heart to be open to truth. Thanks for helping me understand.
Sanctification is beautiful to you and confusing to the corrupted world. I hear you. I am listening.
I have zero clue why you have brought me, of all people, so close to you. I am beyond humbled. Yes, you are WITH ME and FOR ME. How could I NOT shout that praise from every proverbial rooftop!!!
I love you with all I am and will ever be. Thank you for “sacred bowls” and how you are weaving it all together at this precise time.
Overwhelmed in the best of ways, YOUR WAY, Jesus, is the only way that is LIT! .
Father God, I know you heard my massive list of prayers this morning. I know you have Radical Rachel in your palm. You clearly love her radical love for You, Your WORD and Jesus. I FELT the TINGLING and the POWER you so graciously give all who seek you.
I love her so much! Your word has burned in my soul to pray without ceasing. I know it’s only been hour, but as I close for now, I beg again for your angels to surround and protect her with the Job and her family reconciliation. Please remove the obstacles for her and may it be YOUR WILL. If that is not your will, may you bring Rachel a word to guide her. In this moment, it very much feels like the answer will be made clear sooner than later. Still, I will pray, as I promised YOU and Rachel I would. Bring the rain and open the floodgates, please, for Rachel. As I stand in this gap and lift her to you, you know this same prayer applies to others. I trust you completely and offer this humble prayer in complete submission. May it be so, in the name of Jesus and every drop of blood He shed for us on the cross. Amen.
It is now 6:26 and I have been up since about 4 am. What the Lord showed me between 4-6 am was priceless. In this moment, praying for a Texas Brother and one in Arizona. Praying for all who disagree on The Bible to approach it with Godly and healthy discourse The Lord expects us to wrestle with our faith. As we mature, we gotta get “in the ring” of truth.
My daughter adopted a sweet gray kitten and named him Anubis roughly two years ago. He was her “Noob” and they have probably a dozen nicknames for him.
Last year, they learned Anubis had kidney issues and feline leukemia. It progressively worsened. Last week, she took him to an oncologist and they as told her had maybe a month to live.
For days, we have cried and talked through various details. Ultimately, I went to her this morning and was able to hold her hand. The mobile vet, Allison, was quite possibly the answer to what I prayed on the way this morning. Thank you, Lord, for making the entire process beautiful and encouraging, despite all the tears. Thank you for redemption at the cross, through your precious son. May those tears cleanse our souls, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I spoke truth to my daughter in words she could hear. God willing, she will learn those words come from His Word. She has seen the changes in her mama the past few years. She knows why I count it all joy.
The details may be written later, but I needed to honor what God did for us this morning.
I thank God, again, for the five plus hours I was able to comfort and serve my daughter and her boyfriend. Beyond grateful for the healthy, loving relationships I am blessed to enjoy with my children.
Grateful Sarah could come cover the store today. Thank you, Lord, for removing the obstacle for us.
The shop struggled greatly before I arrived at 2:20.
First customer was trying to get in just as I pulled up. I had called Sarah and told her I was less than five minutes away if she needed to go pick up her kiddos. He was thrilled to see me pull in the parking lot. I am forgetting his name in the moment, but God knows every hair on his head. 💜✝️💜
Almost immediately after, Miss Pat visited. Oh, how I love picturing her being the adopted granny to the second graders. She is simply sweeter than honey. And, she knows how much I love Jesus. It was the perfect visit. Her purchases doubled the sales for the entire day at that time.
Bodacious Britney shared her Christian counseling sessions and the way God is moving in her journey to motherhood. When she told me her mom and lived with them the entire five years of their marriage, my heart hurt for them. It actually gave context to some issues they were experiencing.
Then, Britney told me the other day, her mom approached her and said it was time to return to NC. I praised God for removing the obstacle and she praised with me.
Tony, his daughter and granddaughter also visited the shop. It’s always good to see people who bolster our faith and build us up.
Unless God brings someone else in that He wants me to document, I am going to spend the remainder of tonight with Jesus. I need a fill up and The Holy Spirit is hungry for scrolls💜✝️💜
Good morning, mercy! Write it down. Pulled from slumber.
Sent my kids something funny last night about how my generation did not grow up with body wash. Sweet opportunity to share clear guidance given to me from The Bible. Not every conversation is required to be directly about God or scripture. I just aim to speak biblical truths in every day conversation because that is how YOU have directed me
Anointed Godversation with Mark last night. Thank you, ABBA!
After another door opened in Psalm 119. Awareness of post 6 pm time stamp. The hours with Him were defined to create a path for obedience? When faithfully following the narrow path and honoring Him daily, I TRUST the HOLY SPIRIT. I am not under the sundown or other time schedules. I work at ANY HOUR moved to work by Him. What a relief! Thank you, Lord!
I could not recall if sun was already set. Time warps and it feels light comes into our store I felt “sunshine”. Note the time. Romans 5:5 will be lesson while driving to see my son today. Yessir.
Because Mark was so moved by this prayer tied to Psalm 25 yesterday, I studied it while at work. Note for posterity. Studying, praying and praising with others is powerful. Yahweh deserves all praise and obedience. Holy, Holy, Holy.
I was blown away with how Jesus held my hand and nestled me between Numbers 11 and Exodus 17. Prime-prime has LITERALLY been a theme for two weeks.
Nudged to note the hour. At this moment 6:35 am.
Images of nestled birds (me?). 70 leaders given to Moses to share the burden. Jesus 70 – must compare the texts AFTER meeting obligations today. Return to bird and feather deeper dive. Jesus was with me reading Exodus 17. I know it is KEY. To the CROSS
I hear past lessons Yah taught me how being on fire 🔥 is, beautiful …obligations outside of praise, studying and worship to Him are also given to us by Him. We must meet our respective obligations. Those are different for each person. No one ought to judge another’s personal calling. Judge the fruits by THE FIRSTFRUIT. It’s ALL about JESUS.
Numbers 11 hit different, like a warm embrace.
So little sleep yet it was all with Him.
💜✝️💜
Jehovah-Jireh, thank you for the little ditty I sing and hum…the Lord WILL provide , be faithful, abide. So simple and sweet to sing it out loud. So beautiful how you change my singing voice when the spirit is moving. Thank you for this child-like wonder and utterly pure love for others. You just keep providing so much more than I deserve. Happy tears. Will hunt your Word for deep dive of Jeremiah’s tears, in your timing. No doubt, the lesson will grow me. You have heard all of my prayers, especially for my children. Thank you in advance for blessing my time with my son later today.
Woke in tears and ended up laughing. The tears were for many and the joke was between me and Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for my husband’s willingness to let me rest this morning.
Yesterday, I posted this note from 15 years ago on Facebook. Very much nudged to “share some silly joy” and break from the heavier lessons He was teaching me
Given the intensity of the past ten plus days, I should not be surprised with the “Jesus Joke” this morning.
It is well documented here that I am listening to the Holy Spirit redirect my testimony to become more mature. Every day last week, I was given another breadcrumb. Each breadcrumb is confirmation and encouragement to BE STILL for the next.
In obedience, I shared the silliness and joy. This morning, Jesus is basically thumping me on my shoulder, smiling, “Ha Ha! You did NOT see what I did there.”
Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit! You heard and answered prayers to guard my tongue. You directed the excited utterances all day yesterday! You humble me so sweetly. I love learning everything I can about you.
The image on my heart is my daughter twelve years ago. She taped her own mouth, joyfully.
Yessir, I was one of your happiest children yesterday. I will be today, as well, with your help. Thank you for showing me how you see me. With the utmost honor and gratitude, I will now add “Nicely played” to the list of phrases I use to acknowledge YOU are in my heart during a conversation.
This image also reminds me of many years prior and Morgan “changing up” your prayer. I no longer see an error, but the blessing. Instead of saying Thy Will Be done, she said “Thy WILL be dumb”. Everyone at that meeting laughed. It makes every person you send me in recovery smile. I see what you did there. I see it far clearer now, thank you.
Thank you, Jesus.
