Gods Little Hummingbird

On By mygodroomIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Father God,

Thank you for all you have done, are doing and will surely do. You’ve heard my incessant praises and do not require them here. I praise you, as well, for making me flip open our Spiritual Warfare Bible at the shop today. I should not be surprised it’s nearly two full pages identifying the causes of curses just before Proverbs 26 begins. Powerful message, indeed. You drew me to the center and LYING/UNFORGIVENESS.

Melissa Schilling Smith continues to boldly lie to her followers. I did not know if you were clipping her “wings” by giving her the back problems immediately after slandering me. I heard her say something about taking on the pain of others, but it was so clear to me YOU gave her the pain for other reasons. It breaks my heart that she doesn’t see that she was also attacking truth you have given me. It was vicious, ugly and beyond slander. You told me to write in the letter something about not harming a Child of Yah without expecting some woe. I will go back and read it again for edification. Still, I would not wish that pain on anyone, including her. You know my prayers for her and her followers remain. It truly breaks my heart for you that such a good teacher in so many ways is hellbent on doubling down on her lies.

Perhaps the first lie she repeated about me on 1/4/25 invited a specific demon to Melissa’s homestead or to the entire group. It would make sense, as I have heard new and repeated lies for the past three weeks. The fact she deleted that “1/4/25 LIVE” from Facebook is a blessing for me, even if she only deleted it to protect herself. That is between you and Melissa. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable to watch her or listen to her now. I trust the discomfort I feel is serving you, Lord. I know you are growing me. I rebuke anyone calling me a Polish Witch or any other false statement.

My husband knows the guard you have had on my mouth. He knows I am only “that” quiet when I am with you. You kept me silent for three weeks after Melissa blocked me from her Facebook page! I sent the letter you commanded on January 4, 2025. I am grateful she took the direct encouragement to block our business pages, as well. I love the page you kept access available to me. Now it makes sense why I did not delete it last year! In your infinite wisdom, you knew it would be needed. As three more weeks have passed, it is clear I would have spiritually dried up if I remained in the stream of her teaching. Not only did she delete that ugly LIVE video, but she also ceased adding the Shabbat lessons to YouTube. THANK YOU.

Father God, you have shown me lies, slander, ugly hearts, distracted spirits and false teachings. You know the false teachings on pharmakeia, birthdays and lukewarm vomit are only part of what I have seen and heard for myself. I will stick to prostrating myself in front of you and your WORD. You are the best teacher, period.

Thank you for working through the issues with me in a way I could understand. You always seem to take me to a WORD you planted in my heart to answer a question. (ISA 63:7) Thank you for the deep dive lesson on water sources and pointing out Jesus says he would rather us be HOT or COLD than Lukewarm. It makes perfect sense we all need to be useful! Melissa keeps saying Jesus will spit us out of his mouth in vomit chunks. Forgive me, Lord, it makes me chortle under my breath with how Proverbs 26:28 concludes the topic: “A lying tongue hates those who are afflicted by it, and a flattering mouth works ruin.” Yes, she clearly has zero love for me, despite the words which come out of her mouth.

Apparently, you wanted me to share a few things here and specifically tag her name. I don’t know who you are sending to this Godroom, but trust your direction implicitly. May any who come to God’s Little Hummingbird on any social media site understand they should bring EVERY concern or question directly to YOU. May they know the TRUTH she does teach so beautifully and may the Holy Spirit convict them of the ERRORS and FALSE teaching, so they may all grow closer to you. Above all, Lord, I beg of you to convict those who are NOT LEADING WITH LOVE, in their written or spoken words. In Jesus name, I do pray. Amen.

88 and Counting Blessings

On By mygodroomIn blessings, gratitude, obedienceLeave a comment

Romans 8:8 tells us those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Powerful reminder to me this morning, as it is the very heart of where my LORD and SAVIOUR have held me the past several weeks. “Carol, you can not please me in your flesh. Do not worry what the world thinks.”

Kind of cool to see this on the scale this morning and share with my husband. Last night was a breakthrough for us in ways that I will not write about. Prayer is powerful, period. When prayer is answered in the spirit. it is a different type of ecstasy. It is a different type of beauty and peace. It all belongs to Him. Praise God, indeed!

This morning, we listened together to The Blessing and Numbers 6:24-26 just engraved itself onto my heart, over and over. Generations have been a huge theme the past few months. Thank you, Lord, for morning submission and revelation. Please, Father God, if it is your will, please bring both of my children back to your path. My heart breaks for them and yet I know your timing will always be superior. I do trust you to bring them back if it is your will. Please help me let go if it is not. I know I can no longer bow down to their fears or anything else.

You are ever-present in my life. What you nudged me to text my son about obtaining employment yesterday did create conflict. While I do not deny that pinch of conflict, I praise you for the PEACE you gave me in my heart in those moments of his conflict. Your word tells us we don’t eat if we are not willing to work. (2 THESS 3:10) I stand on YOUR word and YOUR direction for our lives. No mistake that passage goes on to say to never tire of doing what is good.

This morning was highly productive and blessed because you are with me now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you more than words could ever express.

Woo Woo Woo

In the past few days, I know I have mentioned, shared or commented how God woos me through Job. Yesterday was a wonderful day, snowed in with my husband and son. Mark and I cleaned out the deep freeze, tackled a few small tasks together and played cards. We both enjoyed long soaks in our tub. My prayers last night as he was still soaking were answered beautifully, as well.

This morning, my first thought was “obedience is greater than sacrifice”. 1 Sam 15:22. The principle conveyed by “Obedience is better than sacrifice” is not just about external actions or religious rituals but emphasizes the importance of a heart that is willing to submit and obey God’s will. From that same link: Samuel explained further: “For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry” (1 Sam. 15:23). Disobeying God is rebellion against Him, an act Samuel equated to paganism and witchcraft. In Saul’s case, it was also connected to his proud heart. Saul decided he knew better than God. All rebellion is idolatry, a form of self-worship. 

How perfect to see the idolatry pointed out to me over a week ago by the Holy Spirit in a certain 1:850 Tee Shirt. Complete and total idolatry, especially in conjunction with the way they chose to slander me as a “Polish witch”. Blasphemy!

Oh, Lord, how you do make things so very clear! I felt wooed. When Mark woke, I sing-songed, “woo woo woo” and asked if he recalled the artist. He recalled the song immediately, but neither of us could name the artist. I googled and found it was Jeffrey Osborne in 1986. You Should Be Mine is the title of the song. This preceded excellent Godversation about how there were ten generations between Noah and Abraham. We are both growing closer to the truth of how every man-made religion misses the mark God has established. The three major world religions all point to Abraham as their “Father”. Clearly, the translations miss something in each case.

Father God, you know I thank and praise you for all you have done, are doing and will surely do. Please keep making us yours. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Rebuke with Love

Father God, I could never thank you enough for ALL you have done, are doing and will surely do. I could praise you 24 x 7 and it would still not be “too much”. Thank you for those precious moments when I know you are hovering in, over and around me. What you gave us in the shop yesterday with Koi , Tracey Jamie and Miss Karen was so perfectly YOURS. Thank you for guarding my tongue the past 5-6 weeks. I see what you did there. Bringing Steven and Futina in today was impeccably perfect. Lord, hear Futina’s prayer 24 x7 and please heal Steven, in Jesus’ name. I see, too, why the letter must be written today. Please give me the words they need to hear and the wisdom to hold this lesson in that sacred quadrant you have in my heart and lungs. You know I ask this in Jesus/Yeshua’s name, Amen.

Deep breath. Amazing the clarity after three cleansing breaths. I am a Child of Yah and writing like a child is perfectly acceptable to my Messiah.

Shabbat Shalom, Brothers, sisters and others,

Since I know at least three of you receiving this letter are NOT my spiritual sibling at this time, I included “others” in the salutation. It is not intended to be divisive, simply the truth. I love you, whether you love me or not. I thank and praise YHVH for each and every one of you and keep you in prayer. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have missed studying and learning with you. If you are receiving this letter, it is because YHVH used you to teach me something, confirm something or we have prayed together outside of class in agreement. Because you were my key fellowship group, obedience requires I confess sins present or born while with you.

Like most of you, I instantly loved Melissa Schilling Smith and gravitated toward her teaching AFTER being negatively impacted by teachers of false doctrine. I must confess, the first three weeks of November were intoxicating to believe I found “my earthly teacher”. I was beyond excited to unlearn any lie taught to me over 56 years. Respecting Mel’s busy schedule, we still exchanged more than a dozen private voice mails and other messages as Facebook Friends. During this time, I was also nudged to find a Torah Study Partner and develop a close friendship with another Hummingbird Student, outside of the Shabbat study group.

It is my prayer in this moment you are recalling the excitement, power, clarity and the questions YOU experienced your first three weeks into Torah Observance. I respect the fact we all have PERSONAL and therefore DIFFERENT relationships with our Messiah and our YHVH. Snuggled in His Right Hand, Yah was teaching me about the geography of Israel, studying Biblical archaeology, Jewish history/culture and diving deeper and deeper into His Word. While there may be errors in the writings of these humans, there is also a treasure trove of historical information which help bring scripture to life for me. I confess, I can resemble a child “hopped up on sugar” when feasting on the meat and honey He gives me. I get ridiculously giddy and excited to share “my Yeshua” and how He connects everything together for me! In that spirit, I must ask you to forgive me for any time my excitement offended you, as it could be a stumbling block for you if you have not already done so.

Trusting this other Hummingbird Student, I shared a personal health issue with her on November 21. Since she had months of experience with the same prescription, I shared openly with her on the topic. Yah has been clear with me that rebuking others does NOT mean shaming them, so I will not divulge any other details. As the conversation continued, she told me Luke was not a doctor, according to Melissa. I encouraged this person that I would absolutely listen to Melissa’s teaching on Pharmaekeia. I confirmed I had learned MUCH from Melissa. The following morning, I was spiritually kicked (more than a nudge) to send her the “studying” link listed above. In humility, I asked Melissa to please send me her study on Pharmakeia, as I needed to understand the full teaching before praying again about the situation.

The situation is this student blasphemed the Holy Spirit and things YHVH has done through our business on November 22, 2024. Why? Simply because Yah has given me a word on Pharmakeia which does not align with the word given to Melissa. YHVH has been ULTRA CLEAR with me to NEVER allow anyone to detract even one word from His Word. “Beloved Physician” means EXACTLY what it says and focusing on BELOVED matters. Good medical knowledge, like setting bones (Eze 30:21-14) or using fig poultice (2Kings 20:7 ISA 38:21) came from our Elohim. He didn’t need the fig poultice applied to heal Hezekiah or add fifteen years to his life. It is not my intention to argue. I am simply sharing what Yah gave me so clearly: Satan has ZERO POWER to create BAD PHARMAKEIA unless YHVH created GOOD PHARMAKEIA. EZE 47:12 can not only apply to Revelation. (Malachi 3:6, Heb 13:8-16) I warned the student about elevating any teacher above the Word and what the Holy Spirit teaches you in that season. She rebuked me by extrapolating 2466 OFP (our business street address) equates to 666 and marks me as under the influence of Satan. Nonsensical and unbiblical rebukes should never be received.

It was painful to lose a friend, but I praise Yah for removing an unhealthy friendship. I received and studied Melissa’s study on Pharmakeia before sending her one of the links I had shared with the other student. My last voice message to her on 11/23/24 was in near tears asking to establish a time to talk. When she responded five days later, she said she would not be reading what I sent her because Yah had given her the lesson twenty years ago. I need to encourage each of you that in MANY people’s lives, more and more is revealed over time. Please never put limits on how YHVH can deepen your knowledge and bless you with deepened wisdom. He brings me knowledge in some very particular ways, often through what I have termed “stranger angels”. Discernment gave me a “red flag” hearing her last voice mail message.

Despite the red flag, I continued to join for Shabbat Zoom sessions. Melissa was my teacher; it did not matter that we were not in agreement on one topic. There is still much to learn, and I absolutely loved the Shabbat Zoom studies. That is, until I learned Melissa BLOCKED ME from her Facebook roughly three weeks ago. I freely confess it hurt me deeply and for a myriad of reasons. Again, I praise Yah for holding me close and keeping my tongue guarded. There are logical reasons to believe Melissa was deceived by whatever was shared from this other student. Still, I cannot assume she blocked me to make the other student more comfortable. I am not charging gossip or anything else.

I am stating a fact. A Torah Teacher took a questionable step when she blocked a hungry student.

Today, I humbly ask for you to ask Mel WHY she decided to block me. This is not for my edification, but for your own. You deserve to know under what circumstances and conditions your teacher could CUT YOU OFF. I know Yah did not tell her to block me. That would be lie straight from the pits of Hell. I would welcome hearing it directly from Melissa. For six weeks, I listened to “love you”, “this is a safe space” and countless other words which have proven to be FALSE in my experience. Please let her know I forgive it, but one does not block a Child of Yah without being subjected to some woe.

YHVH sees and knows the truth. It breaks His Heart to see the rotten fruit in Melissa’s public comment sections. What He gave me to share with Mel in my last voice message was how it breaks His heart when his children do not LEAD WITH LOVE. That came after praying with and for several of you. Please, I beg of you, quit throwing your families/others under the proverbial bus in such public ways. It does not honor our Messiah or bring anyone to knowledge of him. If the majority of your comments you make would make Yeshua smile, this does not apply to you. We all fall short, period.

In closing, if you want to remove yourself from my friends’ list, I will understand. All of you are on my prayer list, regardless. We do not have to be “Facebook friends” or real-life friends. If you need a warm bed and a meal in Tennessee, the door is open. I am going to continue to love you, no matter what. For me, the door is closed to your study group, and I accept it. However, I recently learned I can see Melissa’s page from our business account, so she may want to go block my business pages for whatever her reasons.

What Yah just showed me is REVOLUTION does not happen without Him and maybe everyone should consider why His Name, the name above ALL NAMES, is not on the T-shirt. Not HIS WORD and not HIS NAME. Ask yourselves does that T-Shirt invite an honest conversation? If you saw that shirt years before you came to be Torah Observant, how would YOU have received it? Ask YHVH to show you if pride, fear or anything else is blocking your spiritual eyes and ask YHVH to give you wisdom He surely desires to give to all his children.

Shalom,

Carol

It is now 7:09 pm and my heart is dancing after the confirmation from “Philippine Jamal”. As we were discussing the Torah and the importance of understanding The Bible is cohesive from Genesis to Revelation, Proverbs 18 came to mind. I found this article and it was used to nudge “the letter” I have been assigned.

“When one shows partiality to the wicked, they will overthrow the righteous in judgment whether they intend to or not. Each aspect of injustice is sin.”

“For justice to happen, the cause must be heard, not the person. Let the person be punished for his wickedness, not the wickedness be covered for the person’s sake. When one is partial to the wicked, the rights of God are despised, and the claims of his justice are thrown away.” (Bridges)

Proverbs 18:6 A fools lips enter into contention. His lips call for blows.

I could go on and on. Clearly, this was meant to direct my thoughts as I write.

Thank you, Yah!

The Rest of the Story:Pharmakeia

On By mygodroomIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

THE REST OF THE STORY 💜✝️💜

Exactly FOUR WEEKS ago, I was accused of being under Satan’s dirty claws because our business in the Boro is located at 2466 Old Fort. BLASPHEMOUS and SLANDEROUS words are beyond dangerous. (Matt 12:34-36).

In the wee hours, I was once again pulled from sleep to pray for this person, their Teacher and the entire class. The teacher states Luke was not a medical doctor, but a healer. Yes, Luke was a healer. However, I take God at the words He gave Paul in COL 4:14: BELOVED PHYSICIAN. No adding. No detracting. A fact which is readily confirmed through historical sources outside the Bible.

God clearly wanted his followers to know BELOVED PHYSICIANS are from Him. It’s easy to see when you consider the history of medicine in Israel. The teacher also says using natural remedies to aid in healing is also SORCERY. Tricky topic, as PHARMAKEIA is 100%defined as sorcery in many places in the Bible.

For me,the topic of PHARMAKEIA is like any other. There is GOOD KNOWLEDGE and GOOD PHARMA from God. There is also EVIL PHARMA and EVIL KNOWLEDGE from the devil. Satan copies and counterfeits EVERYTHING!!

THREE GODVERSATIONS in our shop yesterday were used in profound ways. I am beyond grateful for how the LORD used Ashley, Brittany and “CR- BROTHER to confirm what the Holy Spirit already taught me.

While much is bubbling in my spirit about the ABC’s and 123’s, and ORDER of GOD, I am being directed to share specifically about this visit with “Brother CR” We have been immeasurably blessed to witness his TRANSFORMATION in CHRIST over the course of a decade. It is exciting to watch others grow in their FAITH and KNOWLEDGE of THE BIBLE. Beyond edifying and encouraging, hearing the testimony of how God is moving in his life is always a blessing.

So, when Brother “CR” visited yesterday for a long Godversation, the topic of PHARMAKEIA was already settled in my spirit. He shared a painful story about a woman in recovery who was doing so well and developing in their faith. Someone in the recovery group took her for deliverance and she was very much in the spirit. Those people told her to refuse to take vital mental health medication which led to her stepping in front of a train.

A promising life cut short due to INJURIOUS WORDS. We both cried. Praise God, the heart of the whole topic is so clear. Let me ask you, did God EVER change his character? Of course not! Malachi 3:6 is beautifully etched into my soul after the removal of much dross.

EZE 47:12 ends with teaching us ALL KINDS OF TREES will be used for food and their leaves are for MEDICINE. God clearly intended, AT MINIMUM, some leaves of some trees are to be used for medicine.

From Genesis to Revelation, God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

It is my sincere prayer to our Father in Heaven that the person who needed to hear this today is blessed. 💜✝️💜

Posted and approved before sunset. ✝️💜✝️

two-week Hiatus

On By mygodroomIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Officially, it will be two weeks on Monday. It is 6:21 PM, after Shabbat has ended. While navigating the hurt and searching for the lesson for me regarding the Miss Plastic situation. I have not been writing here. It would be fair to say that is a healthy habit for me to refrain from writing when I have been wrestling with such matters. I do not wish to speak idle words, nor write them. However, I also have a duty to hold myself accountable. For the sake of balance and obedience, I need to take a few minutes to jot down a rough outline of what Yah has been doing as I look back.

First and foremost, YHVH has given us the best helper in the Holy Spirit. Ironic and beautiful that Israel means “he struggles with God”. Wrestling with the LORD isn’t about “winning” or “pinning” on points. For me, it is about asking my Sovereign Lord and Savior, to please help me understand whatever it is that is not making sense to me. Wrestling is a purification and sanctification process which inevitably leads me into more dependence and a deeper relationship with Jesus.

I started Genesis in my New King James Study Application Bible. We have continued in our study of James, as well. Plus, I have been listening to Gods Little Hummingbird lessons and having interesting tidbits and reels pop up on my phone. Because I was struggling to some degree from the Plastic Lover attack, I know I had to be grounded in His Word. Whatever evil power is working through her, I now see it as a blessing to have that relationship removed from my life at her discretion. Thank you, Lord.

My mom, sisters and all our kids gathered together for Thanksgiving dinner. This was the first time in nine long years that we have all been together. After years of praying for reconciliation between my sisters and mother, it was surreal to have us all together. There is never a cornucopia or other pagan nonsense at our Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you, Lord, for reconciliation, healing and gathering my family.

Many wonderful Godversations in the shop over the past ten days. However, as He is prone to do with me, there were certainly less of them, overall. I understand more of why it happens this way. People can be distracting, and all of our customers are people. Today, I am most grateful for the way Jesus hung out with my husband and I last night in our room. We had the best Godversation of the past two weeks!

The nutshell was “give him a different type of excitement”. The Lord knows my physical issues and that burden has lined up exactly with the Rachel situation. A negative double portion is one view. Twice as many opportunities to give everything over to The LORD is my view after wrestling. In this moment, I am thinking of what Melissa taught today about Leah and Rachel in Genesis. I am remembering the phrase in GEN 30:27 “To learn by experience” is from Strong’s H5172, Nahas.

In Gen 44:15, it means to practice divination, observe signs. According to the internet response, in every OTHER use of this word in the Hebrew scriptures, it is associated with witchcraft and negative. Still, I want to read all the scriptures for myself and see what the Boss reveals.

Monday with Futina

On By mygodroomIn gratitude, obedience, prayerLeave a comment

So much to share and document and feeling a bit “buzzed” with the Holy Spirit.

Futina brought me two poinsettias. She is still in grievous pain over her circumstances. I told her she can’t pay for anything from our store until her circumstances change “in a month or so”. She asked how I knew that and I told her I did not know anything in my own power. But, I trust what the Holy Spirit puts on my tongue. She then told me I was the third person in less than a week to state it as fact. We reached agreement through more prayer shared between the two of us.

Miss Eli came in from Rock and Roll Sushi. Her demeanor reminds me of my daughter in many ways. Boldly shared the miracle healing of 8/20/24 and she did not flinch or appear disgusted by hearing about God’s miracle healing. I had just shared it with Next Gen Contractor still at the shop and shared with her for context. I believe it was a seed planted. Thank you, Lord.

Somber Sully from Charlotte visited for the first time. Sadly, two weeks here and his wife and two babies (nearly one and 3) are remaining in Charlotte for “separation therapy”. He welcomed a zero nic device to his other our purchases, accepted encouragement about it well and was very open to me keeping them in our prayers.

Sean Box visited. He just moved here from Memphis. Fantastic Godversation about how he is reigniting his passion for the LORD at present. His girlfriend is named ELAINE. We chatted until 8:45 and we close at 8! When the Holy Spirit is active and palpable, it is impossible to pay attention to a clock.

Thank you, Lord, for this entire day and all you did in it for me, through me and with me. I am grateful and I love you.

Textimony

On By mygodroomIn blessings, obedienceLeave a comment

Just sent to my husband via text:

Bill from Cali returned. You met him some time last week. Huge Godversation. He wanted two new fifty bars and bought two geek bars for his wife. One was cherry bomb. Seeing strong men who remind me in some way of my dad break into tears is humbling. They lost a 30 year old son two years ago at this time to fentanyl/meth. He shared a lot about his church involvement and more. It was like being “in church”. 💜✝️💜

Amber from the vet came in to tell me our prayer was answered and her partner finally got a job! At the same time, new customer Myson (Tyson with an M) loved that I said he wouldn’t be able to “taste the China” in the Fifty Blue Razz.

I jumped in pure and utter joy like 15 year old Cheerleader Carol for Amber’s circumstances es to be changed. I shared last month she was working two jobs and insane hours to support her partner and his children. She went on quite a bit (especially for her meek personality) about how much it meant for me to pray with her last month.

Myson immediately exclaimed he understood exactly what I meant about not tasting the China…AND exclaimed he would love to have friends who cheered for his successes.

Of course, your wife told him to come back anytime he needed to be cheered on!

All this goodness from God on the heels of Rachel texting me this morning that I am letting Satan use me. Blasphemy! Only God and the Holy Spirit work through me…any bad thing in my character or actions is due to Human Carol, not Satan.

So cool how God answered prayer about stocking Fifty Bars (few are readily available with suppliers) by sending Ryan here today and blessing us with 250 plus in free product, while supplying our needs at such a huge discount!!! Then, He sends Bill, Amber and Myson to the shop to make certain I know He is WITH ME and FOR ME.

~~~~~~~

What i did not send my husband was all the extraneous details. For example, how Bill asked me to please share what God did yesterday in the shop. I shared all “About Bunny” and how god was removing an obstacle for us just by sending Ryan from Fifty Bar into our shop.

At one point, I reached over and placed my hand over his when I was assuring him I would be praying for his wife, Carrie. He looked like a power surged through his body. We agreed it is easy to feel the Holy Spirit. At that point, I went over to my desk area and grabbed this card to give him. I showed him the image, explained why I was not writing in the card and encouraged him to write something to his wife.

Immediately seeing the image, he burst into tears. I felt something in his spirit give way. I can not explain it better than that in this moment. I know the Holy Spirit is working through me. It’s humbling and may not make sense to others. It does not change the FACT it is Yeshua via the Holy Spirit and not Satan.

.

Father God, you have heard so many prayers from me the past eight hours. Thank you for answering so many so quickly. Thank you for answering my prayers for Amber and her family and for answering ALL the prayers you have answered. It’s overwhelmingly beautiful how quickly you take me from the depths of valleys to the peak of mountains. Please forgive those who do not truly know you and those who misapply your law and your lessons. I am standing in the gap, Lord, for all who truly are seeking you and forgetting they ought to lead by love. You have made it clear to me the law and my heart both matter and they are to work together for your good purposes. Thank you for being the literal salve to my wounds this morning. I love you more and more!!!

Lane or Highway

On By mygodroomIn blessings, Deut, obedience, prayerLeave a comment

I have always preferred the beauty of back roads and the scenery they provide. However, this morning, I woke with two very clear thoughts I would not typically expect. First, I was directed to read old birthday posts made for my earthly father. My dad has been gone from this world for over fifteen years. Instead of posting anything about his birthday being today, I remained peaceful in remembering him differently today. It’s been a strange and beautiful day at our store. My heart has been poured out and it’s only 7:09 pm.

The second clear thought was out of left field. I was very directed to call Pinnacle Bank and find out if a certain personal banker was still working at Pinnacle. I am to give Katrina a certain card and needed a way to reach her. Because the Holy Spirit was working, that was confirmed in one short call on the way to the shop.

Personal Banker called me back and we had two amazing Godversations. I shared that ALL I KNEW was Katrina’s first name, her family structure and that she considers herself a Black Israelite. From that one sentence, he confirmed he knew her. At that point, he started sharing about Noah’s three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth and clarifying how he was raised Church of Christ but has gone to Catholicism. I fully expect him to call me again tomorrow to understand Katrina’s reception. I want to ask him, based on his passion for history, his take on Constantine changing the Sabbath.

Our first customer was Korean Kunhee. Since these entries are about sharing how God is moving, it helps me remember various customers with descriptors. Kunhee told me all about his first 19 years in a Korean Baptist Church and his amazing close to Jesus encounter at nineteen. He is brother-in-law to another customer, Stephen, who attends Experience Church. Kunhee is now 35, calls himself an atheist and shared openly he and his wife of a decade have zero desire for children. He has attended church with Stephen in the past and clearly did not connect. He was moved to tears more than once when speaking of missing that connection to the Divine.

All I could do was encourage him and remind him that he is clearly NOT an atheist, no matter how easy that may be to say. Noone experiences God in such a powerful way and then denies Him in earnest. I saw him questioning himself a pinch after I said what I did. Father God, I felt the Holy Spirit’s power as I stood in the gap for Kunhee. Thank you for that confirmation and for ALL you have ever done, are doing and will do. I plan to continue to beg you to pull him back to you in some dramatic fashion. Please make yourself known and drive Kunhee to his knees. I know he still loves you. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Jubilant Julie returned again. We had a wonderful Godversation about her two daughters and sharing mom type things, too. It made me smile to know she attends ECC at 4 on Saturdays. Please keep her family close, especially the youngest daughter.

Personable Paul returned and spent at least an hour in Godversation with me. Truly, it was lovely to help him reduce his nicotine. However, it was more beautiful to encourage him regarding his wife. In short, to ask her for her help and humble himself. Get her to walk their two acres together to pick her brain on where to place the coops, create a positive habit, and be a good example. Essentially, I suggested OFCOURSE she is a phenomenal mother, and ANY good mother would desire to demonstrate a healthy marriage to their sixteen-year- old son, Noah. He lit up like a little firecracker and said that was a great way to get her to get moving! We all want to be good examples to our children. More importantly to me, I want to speak the words God desires for me to say. I want to be a good example of your love, Father God. Please keep helping me.
