God chose to include us into His dream of having a huge family.  Our heavenly Father dreamt about being in a relationship with all kinds — for generations. His plan to birth nations full of unique peoples was made manifest through a dream God gave to Abraham. Today, I simply imagined how a candy striped rose came to be! My thoughts mixed with His and expanded onto a page.

With unlimited capacity, my imagination saw the blood of Jesus as a red rose that God created in the garden. As the Creator of all beauty, I saw the white rose as God’s own purity, His holiness. One day, the Gardner grafted the red rose into a white rose.  Jesus came down to earth and chose a dozen thorny oddballs to multiply and share God’s dream. God chose ordinary people to write down His dream for us. Isaiah, David, Amos, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. Truth Is Told

on Benjamin Holt Drive in Stockton, I painted my tiny fridge while dreaming of owning a brick home someday. WOW, what wonder working power God gave us to think, dream, and create.  A mind that has unlimited possibility with boundless creativity!  Our words and actions have a vast rippling impact! Go ahead and DREAM of your eternal destiny. Think of God’s glory, the light, colors, smell and taste! Write it down. A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan that submits to Holy Spirit is subject to change. Our choice to obey brings God glory and wonderful surprise! We discover, that our dreams often become even greater than what we had originally imagined.

Ahh, the dew of heaven, a longer life.  A sign that I still have a purpose to fulfill on earth. Dreaming once more, with an unknown measure of years here, I see God’s goodness exploding! More now than before, I treasure the ability to see and walk. A bit of blur in the eyes keeps me from seeing the impact of age. With a slowed walk, the more glorious nature has become. God graciously holds me in His steady hands and I am encouraged to employ the gift He has gave me. Being young is a state of mind, and I thank God that He looks at my heart and not my appearance. The plan God has for me ends in glory. I asked for wisdom, and God provided.  “Get wisdom, though it cost you all you have, get understanding.”

Wisdom costs us all of our own understanding. To submit all hypothetical reasoning to the Spirit within – is to gladly humble ourselves. The Psalms is our fountain of hope when we sink into our feelings. The Proverbs is where we obtain the wisdom of surrender. The Risen One in us gives us a vision, a word to speak, an idea! Embracing our victory in Jesus, we choose to run out of the grave and into the dream He has for us!  With a fresh anointing, we come fully alive as we trust the continuing breath of God.  We decree miracles with great faith, knowing that God is more than able.

Our words are the actual paint brushes of our future. Speak faith into your heart. Our words can also be the  weapon that destroys the plan God has for us. The Holy Spirit is our pilot light.  The exact representation of Jesus abides in us. Tap into the power of life “in Christ” and live redeemed from the dullness. Instead of hoping for change, be the change. Our ever present Provider, Source, Giver, and Healer is Imannuel, God with us. 

Use the gift you most enjoy. Life on earth is rough for many, so any obedient gesture of kindness will bless and lift spirits. Decide to be a streaming channel of God’s love. Just by listening, our silent witness, makes eye contact, a soul connection.   Some may deliver a word of hope, others a powerful sermon.  Sometimes, much is accomplished by just giving a drink of water to a thirsty soul. “𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘌𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥’𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴.” — 1 Peter 4:9–10

Be who God created.  Our best kingdom contribution comes out of a desire to serve others with what we have.  The enemy tries to stop us with thoughts of insufficiency.  With GREAT FAITH in He who dwells within, we crush evil by simply speaking the name of Jesus.  Our Savior has never departed.  He pours out His  GLORY as we “walk in His way.”  Believe in the power of God within.   Testify to His lavish grace, share your supernatural gift of faith!

Be content and cherish the plan God has for you. Our witness of goodness and mercy never insults a lack of understanding. We remain pure by His grace. We simply rely on the power of the Truth.   Open your gift of faith and delight as you unwrap it to discover truth. Focusing on self leads to a starving soul emptiness! “There MUST be something more!” The size of our body, our pedigree, certificates, or bank account will NOT determine our final, eternal destination. A personal decision to follow God, places the promises in the Bible our #1 priority. To submit to God, engages an exciting motivation. To know the depth of our Father’s love takes an eternity. We are blessed by His faithfulness and His desire for a personal relationship. The King of all rulers bids us to enter His throne room. Do we shrug such an invitation off? What pray tell could compare? This temporary world can offer nothing more thrilling.

We sacrifice very little to gain a magnificent forever, with limitless adventure. Listen to what the Spirit is saying and choose the narrow path NOW for the greater reward later! Read the Bible with expectation. The Spirit of God will deliver a personal word, a brilliant revelation just for you.

Be determined to finish God’s dream for you.  The long history of our family of God clearly tells of many who trusted His Way for a time. Waves of injustice do not overtake the faithful. Jesus came as the Finisher of our faith. He is the Star, the Hero of His Father’s dream.  Our loving Father created children in His image.  Resurrection day was not only for Jesus, we arose with Him. Our inner man came forth out of a tomb of unbelief. We are filled with the incorruptible seed of Christ! DREAM with God and be filled with hope to finish His dream for you!

Mitch Albom wrote a book describing folks who heard a dead loved one’s voice. After Jesus appeared in a vivid dream to me, I wrote Behind the Curtain.  “that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 We are the whosoever. “all the days of your life were written in His book before you were born.” Psalm 139. Trust the Word!

“The First Phone Call From Heaven” for me was on April 20, 2016. By the third ring, I answered and heard Aunt Sue get to the point. “Jason is dead.”  In shock, I ran to the bedroom and curled up and sobbed in disbelief!  The Lord allowed me to hear my son’s voice clearly say, “Don’t worry, mom! I’m walking with Jesus!” ❤️ All the days of every life were recorded before birth. An amazing truth to ponder deeply! To age is a timeless gift as one considers all eternity holds.

Imagine God’s dream for you? How He gifted you and why? Go within and turn your full potential on. A collection of poems dated 1829 was recently found. A kid with bad eyesight just 13-years-old etched out words on parchment. Charlotte Brontë’s passion to write was practiced until she published Jane Eyre in 1846. At age 14 Charolette enrolled in school at Roe Head. She left in 1832 to teach her sisters Emily and Anne at home. The three sisters attempted to open a school in Haworth but failed to attract pupils so they turned to writing. Dream along with God. Your victorious story was written down before you were born. Optimism exists because God is in control. A desire to represent Jesus by shining a light in the dark is done through hospitality, kindness, and listening.

As a little girl, I dreamt of living in a brick house one day. God suddenly changed my earthly dad’s heart, and with my inheritance, I bought a brick casa in Mexico in 2009. My Father placed another dream in my heart to write a book about His call, His authority, His perfect Way, and His dream for all. So today, after my sister Mary’s call, Kim’s card, and a royalty check, all 3 received on Sept 18th, I hear a voice say, just ‘Write.’

2023 Final Words a dream!

Growth 2024 Birthday Poem

A few words to lift up my quiet, but reflective, praying sweet husband Michael!  He is my all Amercican, Jesus professing, hot apple pie, all loving guy! He intentionally does the right best thing. He submits and takes up his cross to flex his FAITH IN GOD each and every day. Simple obedience: Mike begins and ends his day in prayer. He makes his bed, returns the shopping cart, calls his mom, and puts the garbage in the bin. He consistently chooses God’s Way, one choice at a time. Mike is ever grateful for God’s constant abiding. Our Guide is the Holy Spirit, and He never departs.  We are in alignment with the Promise Keeper who holds us all together. Our duty is to persevere as He leads. We make our life together a conscious prayer of gratitude to Jesus for His sacrifice. God is intentional with us each day, and we honor His vigilant care of us by our moment to moment submission.  ❤ Michael is my greatest gift from God.
