The deposit has been MADE!

This week I was feeling pretty down. Felt like I was pouring out every ounce of energy I had in everything I was doing. . . I just needed to be filled up again.   

While sitting at a traffic light, I realized I just don't know if I have enough to give today.  The word came to me  - DEPOSIT.  I said Lord, that is it - that is what I need - can you deposit in  me right now what I need.  I felt an affirmation.   I will never be overdrawn.  

Later that evening I found this verse. . . I love it when His whisper will line up with His word and promises.


2 Corinthians 1:21-22 New International Version (NIV)

21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

 The first installment . . . the down payment on the agreement that HE means good for you and has promised to make good on every one of HIS promises.  Hold on to the promises of God.  He makes good on them. 

Love and hugs!

April 3, 2018 This morning I was thinking about how it is not Thanksgiving – but I am so grateful and thankful to God for the benefit of medicine and the intelligence He gifted to physicians.  I have seen great results in a treatment plan that is working for me. Thankful and blessed and rejoicing. Later, I went to search for a daily devotional.  I was sort of getting out of that morning routine.  I used to make sure that was something I did EVERY morning.   But the last three years I have been working full time and then came the onset of Psoriatic Arthritis.  Life got very busy y’all!  I still found time to connect with Jesus, still attending church, but to be honest – my private devotion time has been pretty slack.  So what did I do –  I Googled. A few popped up, I had read those before. Saw what I thought was a new one by Rick Warren.  Have not read many of his devotionals, so I clicked on that one. First paragraph read “Give th...

"These are a few of my Favorite Things" Royal Hojari Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) - imported from Oman  (I ordered from Amazon) So, these little nuggets are very precious.  No wonder the Kings carried it to baby Jesus.  But let me tell you what I like about them the most - the relaxation properties they have when you diffuse them.  Difusse this before bed in your home and you will sleep like a baby.  The best sleep ever.  It also has a great scent - I put a piece of the resin in with coconut or olive oil and dab a little on before bed if I am really stressed or in pain.  Do your own research and you will find many ways to use this resin from the Boswellia tree.  You can burn the resin and it has disinfecting properties when you do so.  I have tried that and it smells nice.  I would not burn this in my home as it smokes very badly.  I tried it on my porch.  I am excited to learn about new ways to use Frankincense an...

Two things happened on the beach that day

Two things happened on the beach that day. Sometimes the little things are the Big Things . Sunshine on my shoulders.  Oh how things change. I remember the days of sunning at the beach and staying out there for hours.  Of course, I did ridiculous stuff like only wearing Level 4 Sunscreen when I was younger.  Sometimes no sunscreen if I was tanning in the backyard with baby oil.  Really?  It was the 80's y'all - everyone was doing it! Still was so dumb though.  So as an adult I did become smarter about using higher strength sunscreen.  I used 30 SPF at least and sometimes higher. Since my PSa diagnosis and reading about Psoriasis you see so much conflicting information about sunning.  I have read - "Do not get burned - it will give you a flare - your body's immune system will attack" "Do get some sun - it's good for your skin" "Sun gives you Vitamin D - go outside" I could go on - but you have probably read some of the same a...
