BEGINNING AND THE END..

 I WAS JUST LOOKING AT FACEBOOK AND THE PICTURE OF ZOEY AND MAXWELL AND A REALIZATION JUST HIT ME.  WHEN I MET TRISTAN 23 YEARS AGO, HE HAD MAXWELL., AND LIKE I'VE SAID BEFORE, SHE WENT THROUGH THREE GENERATIONS OF GERMAN SHEPARDS. 

 WELL MAXWELL  WAS THE BEGINNING OF OUR RELATIONSHIP AND ZOEY IS THE END OF THE PUGS FOR NOW UNTIL GOD PUTS ANOTHER ONE IN OUR PATH.  THE BEGINNING AND THE END.. HOW IRONIC IS THAT.. THAT PICTURE SAYS SO MUCH AND IS SO ADORABLE AND I WANT TO HAVE IT FRAMED BECAUSE SHE TAUGHT US SO MUCH AS DID MAXWELL.  

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE, IT LOOKS LIKE MAXWELL IS TALKING TO HER AND TELLING HER SOMETHING. AND BEING STERN ABOUT IT.  I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE THIS ONE FRAMED AND ANOTHER ONE WITH ALL THE PUGS IN IT. TO BE ABLE TO HANG THEM ON THE WALL.  

ANYWAY JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS AS GOD IS SHOWING ME NEW INSIGHTS.. GOD BLESS. 

THE SABBATH

 ONCE AGAIN, GOD WOKE ME UP AND ITS A GLORIOUS DAY OUTSIDE.  I'M DONE MOURNING HER AND ALL OUR OTHER BABIES.  GOD IS BRINGING US INTO A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES.  WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO AROUND HERE.  IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. BUT I'VE NOTICED IN THE LAST DAY OR SO, THAT WERE NOT AS STRESSED AS WE WERE.  

  YESTRDAY I ORGANIZED THE BEDROOM A BIT MORE AND WORKED ON DOING SOME SURVEYS. I DID SEVERAL AND MADE SOME MONEY AND LEVELED UP IN SWAGBUCKS TO TOPAZ LEVEL.  I USED TO THINK THAT DOING SURVEYS WAS STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME, BUT A FEW YEARS AGO, I STARTED DOING THEM AND SEEING THAT I COULD MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH WITH THEM AND HAVE BEEN DOING THEM EVER SINCE.  IT'S HELPED IN HARD TIMES WHEN WE DON'T HAVE MONEY AND NEED TO GET STUFF FOR OUR BABIES OR FOR STUFF I NEED. 

TODAY I'M DOING BIBLE STUDY WITH MY FRIEND.  WITH THE SABBATH, YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK OR MAKE ANYONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD WORK OR ANYONE ELSE. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE A FULL DAY OF REST WHICH BEGINS AT SUNSET THE NIGHT BEFORE UNTIL SUNSET TODAY.  SO SHOPPING OR GOING INTO STORES TO BUY STUFF SHOULDN'T BE DONE. UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. 

Sabbath Regulations

Exo 35:1  And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them. 

Exo 35:2  Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. 

Exo 35:3  Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. 

Exo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 

Exo 20:11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

PRAYER FOR THE SABBATH

 How Great Are Your Works

Psa 92:1  A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 

Psa 92:2  To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 

Psa 92:3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 

Psa 92:4  For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 

Psa 92:5  O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 

Psa 92:6  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 

Psa 92:7  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 

Psa 92:8  But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 

Psa 92:9  For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 

Psa 92:10  But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 

Psa 92:11  Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 

Psa 92:12  The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 

Psa 92:13  Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 

Psa 92:14  They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 

Psa 92:15  To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 

A WEEK NOW. MOVING FORWARD WITH NEW CHAPTER..

 GOOD MORING, GOD WOKE ME UP AND I'M BLESSED.  

I'M OFF TODAY AND TOMORROW THE SABBATH.  TODAY IS MY SISTERS BIRTHDAY AND I HAVE TO CALL HER. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO HER ON THE PHONE IN OVER A YEAR, WE USUALLY JUST TEXT.  

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH MY RIGHT ARM BEING SORER THAN YESTERDAY. NOT SURE WHY IT'S HURTING SO MUCH. IT WASN'T LIKE THIS LAST WEEK.  BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT USING IT AS MUCH WITH ZOEY BEING GONE.  SHE WASN'T THAT HEAVY.  

YESTERDAY WAS A BAD DAY, AS I WAS EMOTIONAL ALL DAY AND HAVING MOMENTS OF MISSING HER TERRIBLY AND REALIZING SHE'S GONE. 

 TODAY IS THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING.  I HAVE TO STAY POSTIVE AND MOVE FORWARD.  I KNOW SHE AND ALL OUR BABIES ARE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE AND HAPPY AGAIN WITH GOD.  

LAST NIGHT WHEN I CAME HOME, I REARRANGED MY SIDE OF THE BEDROOM TO REMOVE THE HOLE IN MY AREA WHERE SHE USED TO SLEEP.  IT'S PART OF THE PROCESS OF MOVING FORWARD.  GOD IS WORKING WITHIN ME AND MOVING ME FORWARD.  I'M LETTING IT HAPPEN AS I SHOULD.. 

THAT'S THE GREAT AWESOMENESS OF HAVING GOD IN YOUR LIFE!! HE TEACHES YOU HUMILTY AND INTEGRITY AND RESPECT, GRACE AND MOST OF ALL LOVE!! 

I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS USING ME TO TEACH PEOPLE TO HAVE GOD IN THEIR LIVES AND HOW TO DO IT FROM THE BEGINNING, FOR PEOPLE THAT KNOW GOD, BUT DON'T READ THE BIBLE, AS I DIDN'T UNTIL SEVERAL YEARS AGO... 

WELL I HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO GET DONE, AND THNGS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT OFF FOR THE LAST YEAR, CLEANING, ORGANIZING., DUSTING.. OMG.. SO MUCH.. ALL IN GODS TIME!! GOD BLESS.

DAY 6

 

GOD WOKE ME UP AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY OUTSIDE.  I HAVE FED EVERYONE AND I'VE DONE MY SWAGBUCKS THAT I DO EVERYDAY.  AND THROUGH ALL THIS I'M STILL REMINDED OF HER AND MISSING HER. BUT THE IRONY OF IT , IS THAT I'M MISSING THEM ALL SO MUCH NOW THAT IT HITS ME HARD BECAUSE ITS SO PROMINENT WITH NOT HAVING A PUG IN THE HOUSE.  IT MAKES THE PAIN OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE LAST 5 YEARS SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL AND PAINFUL BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF HER. LIKE I SAID SHE WAS THE OLDEST LIVING PUG THAT WE'VE EVER BY OWNED BY .  WE DON'T OWN THEM, THEY OWN US.  THEY GRACE US WITH THEIR UNDCONDITIONAL LOVE AND HAPPINESS.  THEY ARE LITTLE ANGELS SENT FROM GOD TO MAKE THIS WORLD AND LIFE HERE ON EARTH SO MUCH BETTER. THEY ARE UNIQUE AND ADORABLE.  I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT TOWARDS ANY OTHER ANIMAL.  

WITH THE GRACE OF GOD WITH HIS PRESCENCE WE WILL GO ON, AND MAYBE SOME DAY A PUG WILL BE PUT IN OUR PATH. I'M LEAVING IT UP TO GOD. WERE NOT GOING TO SEARCH FOR ONE OR LOOK.. GOD WILL LEAD US THROUGH THIS.  I'M SURRENDERING TO GOD AND HIS GRACE.  

WE HAVE A GARDEN TO GROW AND A BACK YARD TO CLEAN UP .  WE HAVE A HOUSE TO GET IN ORDER AND A GERMAN SHEPARD AND A CHIHUAHUA THAT NEED OUR ATTENTION.  

OH AND GOD GAVE ME A GIFT YESTERDAY. I GOT A PAY RAISE!!! WE ARE GOING TO BE MAKING $13.00 AN HOUR IN THE DELI NOW!! GOD IS GREAT!!! I THANKED HIM AS SOON AS I WAS TOLD.. 

THE PHOTO I PUT ABOVE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW OF THE FIVE PUGS TOGETHER, THAT'S NOT THEM SLEEPING.  5 PUGS 5 YEARS OF HEARTACHE.. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE AT OUR 20 YRS OF BEING TOGETHER WE WERE DOWN TO WHAT WE STARTED WITH A MALE GERMAN SHEPARD AND A FEMALE PUG.  NOW THAT IS GOD DOING HIS AWESOME WORK AND LETTING US KNOW.  ANYWAY I HAVE STUFF TO DO AND ALL.  GOD BLESS AND GOD IS GREAT EVEN AMONGST THE HEARTACHE AND SADNESS I STILL PRAISE HIM.. SEE HOW THAT WORKS??? IT'S AWESOME.

DAY 5.

 WELL IT'S BEEN 5 DAYS NOW AND I'M FINDING THAT THIS WEEK IS GOING BY SO SLOWLY.  I MISS HER SO TERRIBLY BUT I KNOW SHE'S IN A BETTER PLACE AND WITH OUR OTHER BABIES.  I TOLD MY HUSBAND LAST NIGHT THAT I BET MY MOM AND ALL OUR RELATIVES ARE ENJOYING ALL OF THEM AND LOVING THEM TO PIECES.  

I SO LOVE THIS PICTURE.. I WANT TO GET IT FRAMED.  IT SHOWS HOW SHE WAS AS A PUG AND WASNT' AFRAID TO STARE DOWN A GERMAN SHEPARD TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED. SHE TAUGHT US SO MUCH IN SO MANY WAYS.  WE'VE NEVER HAD A PUG THAT LIVED TO BE 16.  I THINK BOBO WAS 14.  AND PUNKY WAS 13. 

I'M TRYING TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO CHICHI AND FALCOR AND GIVING THEM LOVING AND SPENDING TIME WITH THEM.  

I HAVEN'T CRIED MUCH, BUT I HAVE A BIT.  I JUST FEEL THAT IT DOESN'T HELP AND I'M TRYING TO STAY POSITIVE AND KEEP GOING. THE HOUSE IS SO QUIET STILL.  AND I KNOW THAT TRISTAN IS DEALING WITH IT IN HIS OWN WAY. LAST NIGHT I PUT HER/ BOBO'S COAT AWAY IN THE DRAWER.  MAYBE WE CAN GIVE THE ONES WE HAVE TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS THEM OR DOWN THE ROAD WE CAN GET ANOTHER PUG.  

BUT I FEEL THAT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO WORK ON THE HOUSE AND THE YARD.  WE WANT TO GET MORE CHICKENS.  THEY ARE ALOT OF FUN TO HAVE.  IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN.  AND PUT THEM UP AT NIGHT.  ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME. 

SO I HAVE FRIDAY OFF AND I'M GOING TO WORK IN THE YARD SOME AND MAYBE GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE.  NOT SURE YET.  GOD WILL LET ME KNOW.   SO I WILL END HERE AND THANK GOD FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT HE GAVE US WITH ALL OF THEM IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS. 

THE NUMBER 7

 I WAS READING ISIAIH 11 BEFORE GOING TO BED, AND IT LED ME ON A TRAIL OF DISCOVERY THAT I'M NOT DONE WITH, BUT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.  

THE SPIRIT MENTIONED IN ISIAIH 11:2 MENTIONS THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, IN WHICH THERE ARE ACTUALLY 7 SPIRITS. 

THE NUMBER 7 IS USED IN THE BIBLE MANY TIMES..391 TIMES TO BE EXACT. 

7 LAMPS ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD, I DID A POST ON THIS AUG 24TH 2022.  

THE 7 LAMPS ARE MENTIONED IN REVELATIONS.  THE PROPHETS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT REFER BACK TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, AS I'VE STATED BEFORE. ISIAIH THE PROPHET MENTIONS THE SEVEN SPIRITS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 

THERES EVEN 7 DEVILS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE THAT WERE THE EVIL SPIRITS THAT JESUS HAD HEALED MARY MAGDELINE OF. 

A Vision of a Golden Lampstand

Zec 4:1  And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 

Zec 4:2  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: 

Zec 4:3  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 

Zec 4:4  So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 

Zec 4:5  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 

Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 

Zec 4:7  Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 

Zec 4:8  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 

Zec 4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 

Zec 4:10  For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 

Zec 4:11  Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 

Zec 4:12  And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 

Zec 4:13  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 

Zec 4:14  Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. 

4 days later.

GOD WOKE ME UP AGAIN AND IT'S A COLD DAY, BUT A BEAUTIFUL DAY.  I'M UP AND SORE , BUT STARTING MY DAY.  IT'S ALSO IN THE 40'S HERE IN FLORIDA.  

MY FRIEND IN GEORGIA ASKED ME YESTERDAY WHAT IS UP WITH ME AND THE BIBLE LATELY?  I EXPLAINED TO HER MY TESTIMONY AND TOLD HER THAT IT TELLS YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE THROUGH GOD.  SHE DIDN'T RESPOND.  I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON THAT SOME MORE. I WAS AT WORK WHEN SHE MESSAGED ME.  WERE SUPPOSED TO SPREAD THE WORD AND WORKS OF GOD AND JESUS AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL.  

LIKE DAVID CROWDER PUTS IN HIS SONG "THERE'S  POWER IN THE WAY THAT HE WORKS"  meaning that for every loss that we go through, it's to bring that person, closer to God.  

There will be moments when the beauty’s gone

There is a power when we’ve lost it all

When we've lost it all, people cry out to God and ask him why?  Just like I did that day and he spoke to me.  He brings us to our knees, to get our attention.  He wants to have a relationship with everyone, all people.  He doesn't' want people sinning against him and his kingdom.  He wants to show everyone his unconditional love that he has for all of us.

just like he states here in the song..

Don’t be afraid of every crooked turn What sorrow plants in the graves and dirt Jesus uses all the pain and hurt There is power in the way He works

Some people don't understand or want to know the power that God holds. But he is in control of everything. In the end... God wins

I have to keep these short, as I have things to do and its been put off for too long.  I miss my babies so much.  The house is so quiet and peaceful, but it's a sad reminder at the same time.  First time in 23 years of not having a pug in the house is heartbreaking as they are little angels of God and they make you smile so much.  God gave me such a gift of abundance when I met my husband 23 yrs ago.  I thank him everyday , several times a day.  I love him and how he works. and I tell him that.  

Deu 7:8  But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 

Deu 7:9  Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 

Deu 7:10  And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. 

Deu 7:11  Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 

Deu 7:12  Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: 

Deu 7:13  And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 

Deu 7:14  Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 

Deu 7:15  And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. 

Deu 7:16  And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee. 

Deu 7:17  If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 

Deu 7:18  Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 

WAYS OF FINDING GOD...

WELL TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY.  I DIDN'T GET MUCH DONE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT AND RELY ON GOD.  I'M WORKING 6 DAYS THIS WEEK, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG WEEK BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL GO BY FAST. 

THIS MORING I LISTENED TO A ROBERT FERRELL VIDEO ABOUT HOW HE CAME ABOUT FINDING GOD AND HIS STUDYING THE BIBLE.  I WATCHED MOST OF IT, BUT DIDN'T FINISH IT AS I WAS TIRED AND NEEDED SOME MORE SLEEP BEFORE WORK. 

THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERNT WAYS THAT PEOPLE COME TO GOD AND BELIEVE. FOR ME IT WAS HEARING THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK TO ME AND TOLD ME TO " MOVE TO FLORIDA".  FOR OTHER PEOPLE IT MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A BAD RELATIONSHIP , OR IT MIGHT BE THAT YOU HAVE A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE LIKE MY FRIEND WHO'S TEACHING ME ABOUT THE BIBLE. (THERE'S VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND PROBABLY OTHER PLATFORMS THAT DO DOCUMENTARIES ON PEOPLE WHO'VE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, LOOK THEM UP.)  FOR OTHERS IT MIGHT BE THAT YOU HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD OR JESUS.  OR THAT YOUR BROUGHT UP WITH FAMILY BELIEF ALL ALONG.  FOR ROBERT FERRELL IT WAS SOMEONE TALKING TO HIM ABOUT GOD AND JESUS AND THAT GOT HIM THINKING.  

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER REALLY, THE THING THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU FIND HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS.  

GHOST

 I KNOW I'VE POSTED ABOUT THIS SONG BEFORE. BUT IT'S SO TRUE AND FULL OF GOD.  THIS SONG BY DAVID CROWDER  , WHEN HE CAME OUT WITH THIS SONG, I WAS SO OVERWHELMED AND KNEW THAT THIS MAN HAS BEEN A BELIEVER AND TOUCHED AND BEING USED TO HELP PEOPLE TURN TO GOD.  SOME YOU CAN SEE IN THE COMMENTS ON YOU TUBE THAT HAS CHANGED PEOPLES LIVES. 

THIS SONG PROVES THAT GOD IS WORKING THROUGH HIM AND TOUCHING SO MANY LIVES INCLUDING MINE.  WE ALL HAVE TO GET READY; WE ALL HAVE TO START BELIEVING AND KNOWING GOD.  THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO START READING THE BIBLE AND TRUSTING HIM.  I KNOW I DO. WE HAVE TO TRUST HIM. HE MADE US. HE LOVES US.  HE WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH US.  WE CAN'T LET THE DEVIL RULE ANY LONGER LIKE HE HAS ON THIS PLANET. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.???
