“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does NOT dishonor others, it is NOT self-seeking, it is NOT easily angered, it keeps NO record of wrongs. Love does NOT delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ]It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” 1 Corin 13:1 “We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.” 1 Corinthians 8:1

“Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.” 1 Corin 12:31 So Lord, we desire the greater gift, which is LOVE. Without love, we gain nothing. Paul writes to the church of Corinth to highlight. John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you MUST love one another. By this everyone will KNOW that you are MY disciples, if you LOVE one another.” Jesus led by example. Like a good Parent, Jesus patterned what love looks like. John 13:4 “So He got up from the meal, took off His outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around His waist. When He had finished washing their feet, He put on His clothes and returned to His place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” Jesus taught

“When you pray, do NOT be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in up in church and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly, I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” Romans 12:9-11 So then we read: Mark 7:14 Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen to Me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them. Are you so dull? Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come.” The devil lost today! Zero bitterness, all is well within my soul!

“God will repay you for the years of loss and suffering — you will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will My people be shamed.” Joel 2:25

Life is a garden that needs constant tending. From birth to death, everyone is on a wellness journey. The people we share the drops with need time to let the seed of hope germinate. Pray for them and wait for God to move. Maybe at that moment, they are testing the waters.  Some choose to just be a wholesale consumer, and we get to watch them bloom!  Water the seed, and God causes all things to grow.  Keep on sharing the Truth and in God’s own time and through prayer, the Holy Spirit will cause your garden to bloom. Our best buds will blossom in time, or not. By faith in He who abides within, we walk in the Spirit, and He leads us into pastures just outside our own fenced  yard. Let your light shine and bloom wherever God plants you. 🌺

I had lost my joy over world news. The church seemed to be apathetic in the face of so much evil. I felt lukewarm, and my lack of joy disturbed my spirit. March 1, 2025, I prayed to be renewed and healed at the beach. Feeling desperate, I chose to rejoice and bless the Lord. Phil 4:4 and Psalm 103:1-2 were written in prison. It is about rejoicing in the Lord. Life is about blessing our Lord with a grateful heart for what He has already done. Our natural tendency is to focus on the problems.  Thus, we fall into sadness and then forget about all God’s goodness. May God help us to command our souls daily to remain thankful! “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!’ Philippians 4:4

‘Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.’ Psalm 103:1 The Book that continues to inspire us with truth, gives us a path to walk on. The Word is living and active and it is sharper than a surgeon’s scalpel. It penetrates beneath our level of own understanding. It separates our biased mind from pure spirit. The Word gives us personal insights. Obtain divine wisdom and direction. SO EXCITING!

My guy, my gift from God! I’m so greatly blessed to have Michael on my team! At age 60 after 3 months of dating, we both agreed that God united us for His purpose. Mike is my partner and He supports my annual sabbatical trips to the beach. Manzanillo has very special memories for us. As a pastor, his friend Bob joined him on a missions trip to the Philippines. They also smuggled Bibles into China. My courageous, and faithful man is now excited to support me in my health journey and new business. As my husband for 14 years in November, Mike remains my cheer leader as I launch a new mission to help people and earn some travel money. PRAISE GOD for the plans that He has written down for each of us!

A soul transformed influences others by the light that silently permeates. It is not our words, it is by His Spirit. I am deeply aware that whatever my heart is full of, God knows, and He loves me anyway. I have done nothing to deserve His unfailing grace. My Father imparted His Spirit into me, to teach, guide, correct, and comfort me all the days of my life! Living with thanksgiving, His light illuminates that I may see what He sees, and it is glorious! Transformation
