Happy Birthday Yvonne !

Have a wonderful Birthday Celebration ! Love you.

Oh No!

Now if you ask me, this doesn't look all that serious of an injury. Rumor has it they are on the brink of deciding to write it off. This can not happen !

This car has been more my home in the last four years than the actual places I have lived.
This car is the inheritance from my time with my little Aunt T. It is precious evidence of the Lord's great provision.

If they take it from me what they consider it's worth is next to nothing, and whatever they replace it with financially will not be enough for me to purchase another.

I am begging them to please, please fix it. Don't paint it, I don't care if it's crumpled looking, that's a good style for me at my age.

So please pray .....it may seem silly but this is heart breaking for me.

And I do know He holds my every moment.... I just need Him to please hold me very close.

You Hold My Every Moment

You hold my world in Your Hands.

You calm my raging seas.



You walk with me through fire.


Jesus You're All I Need!

I believe that You're My Portion,
I believe You're more than enough for me.
Jesus You're all I need. I trust in You.

These are lyrics from a song that breathed life into me once again. Many times we all have days when we need to be reminded of these little / huge truths.

Yesterday I had myself worked into a dizzy tizzy during the work hours. There are elements of chemicals that are worked with here that can be toxic and sometimes my face and eyes tingle .

So I was freaking out with all the vain imaginings of a psycho woman. There is a ventilation system, but still many particles remain I am sure.

Anyway, I am steady once again thanks to the Truth . Though if my brain begins to shrink , and you find me wandering in the streets, you will all know why .

Something New, Something Fresh, Something Alive.

iBethel tv.


Bethel Church in Redding California is streaming free video of some of their worship and teachings.

I am so thankful. A wonderful way to spend an evening with the Lord after a tedious day 'out there'.

I was speaking with a good friend last night, and we were reminiscing of our early days of getting together and soaking in the Presence of the Lord.

Sometimes we were at Diane's , sometimes we sat wrapped in blankets in the front room at WCV when it was minus 40 degrees outside and we had one little heater.

Sometimes we went to Gail's house or Bevy's or mine.

When I consider those times I remember thinking it would always be like that, the ladies together, hidden, praying for the Presence of Jesus to come to our church and our city.

Never did I imagine we would all end up scattered across the country. But we are, and we must press on and press into all Holy Spirit would ask of us still.

I am so grateful for the technology of web streaming , the International House of Prayer and now I am enjoying the worship of Bethel Church in Redding, and I appreciate what Bill Johnson keeps saying....

' I've got Good News for you, God is in a good mood . Are you ready ?'.

Catching Up

Bringing up Zoey....This little lady gets a bit jealous of attention , especially when I am sitting at my computer.



Zoey !!! get off the table!

The look on her face says. You talking to me ?


Yeah, I guess you are....sorry.


The other day my sister had a little birthday dinner for me with her family. Ron decorated the cake, and I am glad they restrained from putting the accurate amount of candles on the cake since that may have set off the smoke alarm.



Sisters: Me, JoAnne,and Darlene



While we were all together we dug out our dad's saxophone. Today would have been his 88th. birthday .



Tomorrow it's back to work for me...I have had a nice long Christmas break.

Another Year Passes

2009...I wonder what the journey ahead holds .

Every year at this time, I reflect prayerfully on the last one, just to bring to mind how I handled my life and all that the Lord walked through with me.

Looking back I find that it was actually not as bad as it seemed at the time. I moved...twice..and now have my own small space which I share with my recent puppy addition Zoey who is a joy and delight to my heart.

The Lord provided full time employment, which gives me the opportunity to pay the bills as well as learn a lot in many other ways.

My time as a Care Giver came to an end with the passing of my dear Bertha last July.

Unfortunately had several really bad hair cuts....thank goodness it keeps growing.

Sometimes I struggle with the purpose for my life and since today is my birthday , naturally feelings of low self esteem try to ruin the day.

Tonight my two sisters took me to a movie.

Marley and Me.

It was such a good book when I read it shortly after my Sam died, and the movie makes you laugh as well as remember the pain of losing a really good friend after many years of loyal devotion and fun.



Tomorrow night my sister is having a Birthday dinner for me. Such a lovely thing to do . I am blessed.

All in all though, I imagine facing 2009 with a soberness in my spirit. The times we live in are challenging to say the least, and I am glad my future is in the Secure Hands of my Loving Jesus.

I wonder what He was thinking when He decided to create me ? What if my mom had found a way to end an unexpected pregnancy ? In her desperation she did try . Would my children have been born through someone else, or would they also not exist ?

When I think of the 50 million babies that are aborted in the states every year,( I don't know the canadian stats ) I wonder .... how long will their blood cry out for justice ? Kind of makes my heart tremble . I can't even fathom the trembling in the heart of the One who creates all Life and ultimately must let Justice roll.

Jesus, every breath, every heartbeat belongs to You. I love You. Thank you for my life.
