For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”
Romans 10:13

Jacob got ready to return home to Canaan, to see his father and mother again after being away so many years. He put his wives and children on camels, took everything that belonged to him, and started back toward the land of Canaan, driving his sheep and goats ahead of him.

Laban was away when Jacob left, for Jacob had kept it all a secret. But three days after Jacob was gone, someone told Laban about it. Laban quickly took off after him. He was angry, for he didn’t want Jacob to go. But that night, in a dream, God spoke to Laban and told him not to harm Jacob or even to speak roughly to him.

It took seven days for Laban to catch up with Jacob, for Jacob had gone a long way-across river and through a wide, lonely country-to a mountain called Gilead.

There Laban finally found him.

He asked Jacob why he had gone away secretly, taking his daughters Rachel and Leah and their children, without letting him know; for he wanted to kiss them good bye before they left.

Jacob said he had kept it a secret because he was afraid Laban wouldn’t let Rachel and Leah go. Then Jacob got angry. He reminded Laban of the twenty years he had worked for him taking care of his sheep and goats, day and night, winter and summer, in the heat and cold. And now, he said Laban would of sent him away without paying him a penny or all the work he had done.

Laban replied, “Your wives are my daughters, and your children are my grandchildren. I would never harm them. Let’s be friends and promise that we will never hurt each other.”

Jacob agreed, and they made a huge pile of stones as a monument to remind them of their promise. If they were ever angry and came to harm each other, they would see that heap of stones and, remembering their promise, would go back home again.

Jacob then built an altar and offered a sacrifice. Afterwards he and Laban and the men who were with him ate together that night.

Early the next morning Laban kissed Rachel and Leah and their children good bye and blessed them. He went back home and never saw them again.

As Jacob and his family travelled on toward Canaan, some angels met them. Perhaps God sent them to help Jacob, for soon he would be coming where his brother Esau lived. Esau might try to kill Jacob or stealing his birthright so long before.

Jacob sent a messengers to tell Esau about all that had happened during the twenty years he had been away. He was afraid. Though it had been twenty years since he lied to his father and stolen Esau’s blessing. Jacob still remembered his sin and was afraid of what Esau might do to him in revenge.

Jacob’s messengers returned with fearful news that Esau was coming to meet him with four hundred men. Jacob’s heart sank. He divided all his flocks, herds, camels, and men into two groups. If Esau attacked one group, the other group might be able to escape.

Jacob prayed and asked God to save him from his brother Esau, for he was afraid Esau would kill him and his wives and his children. He thanked the Lord for being so very kind to him before. He admitted he did not deserve the good things God had given him. When he left Canaan twenty years before, he had owned only the staff he carried in his hand. But now, coming back, he had all these men with him, plus flocks and herds and camels. He had been very poor before, but God had made him very rich. He thanked God for this.

The next morning he sent some of his cattle as a present to Esau-220 goats, 220 sheep, and 30 camels with their colts, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 donkeys, and 10 donkey colts.

He didn’t send them all together, but put them into different flocks to send and sent the flocks one at a time.

His idea was that when Esau met the first flock, he would ask the man who is driving it. “Whose cattle are these, and where are you going?”

The man would say, “They are Jacob’s; he has sent them to you as a present.” The man driving the next flock would tell him the same thing, and this would continue until all the flocks had been given Esau.

Jacob hoped these gifts, given one at a time, would make Esau so happy that he wouldn’t hurt Jacob or his family or steal his flocks and herds.

Questions:

Why did Jacob keep it a secret when he left Laban?

What did God tell Laban in a dream?

How long did it take Laban to catch up?

Why was Jacob afraid of Esau?

What did Jacob send to Esau as a present?

 

As Jacob travelled, he had a dream one night. He thought he saw some stairs in front of him reaching to heaven, and angels were going up and down them. God stood at the top of the stairs and told Jacob about the country He was going to give him and his children. And God said He would be with Jacob and take care of him wherever he went and would bring him home safely again.

Jacob woke up, and was afraid because God had been there and had spoken to him. So, very early the next morning, he got up and worshipped the Lord. He called the place Bethel, which means “The House Of God.”

Jacob promised that if God would take care of him-if He would give him enough food and clothes and would keep him from harm until he got back to his fathers home again-then he would obey God and give Him a tenth of everything he had. Jacob meant he would help the poor and the sick with his money and would build altars and would sacrifice burnt offerings. That is the way he would give a tenth of all that he had to God.

Jacob kept travelling a long, long time until he came to Haran where Laban lived. He saw a well there in a field, three flocks of sheep lying around it, and the shepherds with their flocks. A large rock was rolled over the mouth of the well to cover it; when all the flocks arrived each evening, the shepherds would roll away the stone and get water for the sheep. Afterwards the stone would be rolled back over the mouth of the well again.

Jacob asked the shepherds where they lived, and they told him at Haran.

“Do you know Laban?” He asked them.

“Yes,” they said, “we surely do”

Jacob asked if he was well.

“Yes, he is,” they replied, “and look, here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”

Jacob went over to the well and kissed Rachel, then rolled away the stone and wanted her sheep for her. He explained to her that he was her cousin, her Aunt Rebekah’s son, and she ran and told her father.

When Laban heard that his nephew had arrived, he ran out to meet him. He gave him a warm welcome and brought him home. After Jacob had been there about a month, Laban asked him to stay and work for him.

By this time Jacob was very much in love with Rachel, and he told Laban he would work for him seven years if he could marry Rachel afterwards.

Laban was delighted. So Jacob worked for him the next seven years. Even though it was a long time, the years went by so fast they seemed like only a few days to Jacob because he love Rachel so much.

But when the time was up Laban would not let him marry Rachel. He said her older sister Leah should be married first, so Jacob had to marry her in  order to marry Rachel afterwards. He had to work seven more years for Rachel. This was very unfair of Jacobs uncle, but Jacob agreed to it because of his love for Rachel. So he stayed and worked seven years more, and both Leah and Rachel were his wives. Afterwards, he married two more girls, so he had four wives in all.

Jacob wanted to take his wives and children and go back home to the land of Canaan to see if his father and mother was still alive. He also thought that perhaps after all of this time Esau would forgive him for stealing his blessing.

But Laban wouldn’t let Jacob go.

Laban said he realized that the Lord was blessing him because of Jacob’s being there, and he asked him what wages he wanted in order to stay longer.

Jacob said that if Laban would give him some of his sheep and goats he would stay. So Laban did. Jacob’s flock soon grew very large. After a while he was rich and had many slaves and camels and donkeys, as well as large flocks of sheep.

One day Jacob heard Laban’s sons talking angrily about him. They said he had stolen their father’s sheep and that was why he was so rich. Jacob noticed that Laban was not as friendly to him as he used to be.

Then God told Jacob to return home to his father in the land of Canaan. God said He would be with Jacob and take care of him and keep him from harm.

Jacob sent word for Rachel and Leah to meet him out in the field where he was caring for his flock. He wanted to talk with them where Laban couldn’t hear what he said. He told them that their father wasn’t friendly to him anymore and that the Lord had told him to go back to Canaan.

Rachel and Leah both agreed he must do whatever the Lord wanted him to do.

What was Jacob’s dream?

What was the name of the girl Jacob met at the well?

What did Laban say Jacob had to do before he married Rachel?

Who was Leah?

Why did Jacob decide to return home to is father?

 

 

One time there was a famine in the land. A famine means that there isn’t enough food. Isaac moved back to Gerar, hoping to find more food there. Gerar was the city where his father Abraham had lived many years before, after Sodom was destroyed.

God talked to Isaac at Gerar and told him to stay for a while. He promised to bless him. So Isaac planted crops. When the grain grew and became ripe, he reaped a hundred times as much as he had planted, because the Lord made it grow so well.

The Lord made Isaac very rich and great and gave him flocks and sheep, herds of cattle, and many servants.

But the Philistines, the people who lived in Gerar, were not pleased to see him so much richer than they were. They envied him and wished they had his flocks and herds. Then the king of the country came and told Isaac to go away.

So, Isaac went away and found another place to live, a valley where there were some wells his father Abraham had dug when he was in Gerar. But the Philistines had filled them with dirt, so he couldn’t get any water from them.

Isaac took out the dirt, and his servants dug a new well too. But the Philistines came along and said the wells belonged to them and took them away from Isaac’s men.

Isaac told his men to dig another well, but the Philistines came and took it too. He tried once more, and this time the Philistines let him have the well.

Later Isaac moved to Beer-Sheba, another place where his father Abraham had once lived. That night the Lord spoke to Isaac and told him not to be afraid of the people living there. They would not harm him, for God would be with him and take care of him and bless him. Then Isaac built an altar and worshipped the Lord.

Soon afterwards the king of the Philistines, who had told Isaac to go away, came from Gerar with two friends visit Isaac. Isaac asked them why they had come, since they hated him and had sent him out of their country.

They said they wanted Isaac to promise never to harm them, for they saw that God was his friend. They knew this because of all the good things God had done for him. Isaac was nice to them and promised never to hurt them, and they promised not to harm him, either.

Isaac’s servants dug a new well at Beer-Sheba and found water. They were glad, because sometimes the water was very deep in the ground, and they had to dig a long time before they found it, and sometimes they couldn’t find water at all.

During this time Isaac’s son Esau had married two wives. Both of them were girls from Canaan. His father and mother were very sorry, because the girls of Canaan worshiped idols.

Questions:

What is a famine?

What did the Philistines do when Isaac built the wells?

What did God tell Isaac in a dream?

What did Isaac and the king of the Philistines promise each other?

Whom did Esau marry?

 

 

 

 

“Jacob Lies to His Father”

Isaac was getting very old and couldn’t see; he called his oldest son, Esau, and told him to take his bow and go out into the field and get a deer. “Then cook the meat just the way I like it best; then I will bless you.”

He meant that he would ask God to be kind to Esau and give him many good things. So Esau went out into the field to hunt the deer for his father.

Rebekah heard what Isaac said, and she wasn’t happy about it. She didn’t want Esau to get the special blessing from Isaac, even though he was her oldest son; she wanted the best for Jacob.

When Esau had gone to hunt the deer, Rebekah told Jacob to kill two lambs from their flock of sheep and bring them to her. She cooked them so the meat tasted just like the deer meat Jacob’s father loved so much. Then she got some of Esau’s clothes for Jacob to put on and she put goat skins on the back of his hands and neck. She told him to take the food to his blind father and say that he is Esau.

So, Jacob took the food to his father. His father was surprised that Esau was back so soon. Because he was blind, he asked if it really was Esau. Jacob said yes, and that he had brought the deer meat his father had asked for.

His father put his hands-on Jacob’s hairy neck-remember, Jacob’s mother had put a goat skin around his neck! – and smelled his clothes and was convinced that it was really Esau, even through his voice sounded more like Jacob’s. And of course, it was Jacob, and not Esau at all. Jacob had fooled his father. So his father ate the food and blessed Jacob.

This was a very wicked thing that Jacob and his mother had done; for though Esau had sold him his birth right, Jacob should not have lied to his father. As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had left the room. Esau came in from his hunting, with the deer meat he had cooked.

Isaac asked him, “Who are you?”

Esau answered, “I am Esau, and I have the meat you told me to get for you.”

Isaac began to tremble, “Who was it, then, “he asked, “Who was just here? I have given him your blessing!”

Isaac knew now that it was Jacob who had come in first, and he told Esau that his brother had been there before him and had stolen his blessing.

Esau cried and begged his father to bless him too. So, Isaac did, but he had already promised the best things to Jacob, and now he couldn’t take them always from him.

Esau hated Jacob for what he had done, and said to himself, “My father will soon die and then I will kill Jacob.”

Esau was not a good man; he did not love God. When a good man has done something wrong, he is sorry afterwards and asks God to forgive him and tries not to do it again. But when a bad man has been wicked, he does not repent and ask to be forgiven; he goes on and does the same thing again. Jacob did a wicked thing in lying to his father, but afterwards he became a good man who loved and served God as long as he lived, and God forgave him for his sin. But Esau was not willing to forgive Jacob; instead, he said he would kill him after his father died.

When Rebekah heard what Esau was saying, she sent for Jacob and told him to leave home and to go away to the country where she used to live, to the home of her brother Laban, so that Esau could not hurt him. But how could she get Isaac to agree? This is the way she did it:

She reminded Isaac that the girls of Canaan didn’t love God, but prayed to idols. She reminded him that Esau had married two of these girls; she said she would rather die than see Jacob marry a girl who didn’t love God.

Isaac agreed that Jacob must not marry a Canaanite girl. He called Jacob to him, blessed him again, and told him not to marry a girl of Canaan, but to marry one of his mother’s relatives who lived far away in another country.

Then Isaac sent Jacob away to that far-off land where his uncle Laban lived, to see if he could find a girl there who would marry him. It was the same land from which Isaac’s mother had come with Abraham’s servant.

Questions:

What did Isaac tell Esau to do for him?

How did Rebekah and Jacob fool Isaac?

Who did Jacob pretend he was?

Who got the first blessing from Isaac?

What did Esau say he would do to Jacob when he found out what Jacob had done?

Where did Jacob go to escape from Esau?

What excuse did Rebekah use for sending Jacob away?

 

 

After Isaac and Rebekah were married, God gave them twin sons! The babies’ names were Esau and Jacob. Esau was born first, and Jacob was born a few minutes later. So, Esau was the older.

In those days the oldest son in every family had what was called the birth right. This meant he got more of the money and property when his father died. In fact, he got twice as much as the other children.

In Isaacs family, Esau was born first and had the birthright.

When Esau and Jacob grew up to be men, Esau was a hunter; he went out into the fields and woods and killed deer and brought the meat hoe to his father, Isaac. How his father loved that meat!

Jacob stayed home and helped care for his father’s flocks and goats.

One day Jacob was at home cooking some especially good food when Esau came in from his hunting. Esau was very tired and hungry and asked Jacob to give him the food. Jacob said he would if Esau would give him his birthright! Esau didn’t care about it, so he told Jacob he could have it; then Jacob gave him some food.

It was wrong for Esau to sell his birthright. God had given it to him, and he should of not have sold it. It was wrong, too, for Jacob to take it.

Questions:

What did Isaac and Rebekah name their twins?

Which one was older?

What was a birthright?

When did Esau give away his birthright to Jacob?

Was this right?

 

“Rebekah Say’s Yes”

In the morning, Abraham’s servant wanted to take Rebekah and leave at once to return to Abraham.

But her mother and brother said, “Let her stay with us a few days at least, and then she may go.”

The man begged them not to delay him, for he felt that he should hurry back to his master again.

They said, “Well call Rebekah and ask her if she is willing to go to soon.”

She replied, “Yes I’ll go now.”

So they sent her to Isaac and never saw her again, for Isaac’s home was hundreds of miles away.

After many long, hot, weary days of camel travel, they came at last to Canaan just as the sun was going down. Isaac had gone out into the field for a walk, to be alone with is thoughts. Perhaps he wondered whether the servant would soon be back and whether God had helped him find a girl to be his wife. What would she be like?

Just then he looked up, and the camels were coming!

When Rebekah saw Isaac walking in the field. She asked the servant who it was, coming to meet them. The servant told her it was Isaac. Then she took a veil and covered her face with it. Isaac brought her into the tent that had been her mother’s before she died. And Rebekah became his wife, and he loved her.

Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac and died at the age of 175. He was buried in the cave he had bought from Ephron, where he had buried Sarah.

Questions:

Was Rebekah willing to go right away?

What was Isaac doing when he saw the camels coming?

What did Rebekah do when she saw Isaac?

How old was Abraham when he died?

 

It was evening when Abraham’s servant arrived at the town, and the girls were all coming out to draw water from the well. As the servant watched them coming, he asked God to help him find the right one to be Isaac’s wife.

How could he ever know? This is what he decided to do. He would ask one of the girls to give him some water from her pitcher. If she answered him with a smile and said, “Yes, and I will water your camels too.” Then she would be the one God had chosen to be Isaac’s wife. But if she was grouchy and wouldn’t give him the water, then she wouldn’t be the right one.

While he was still praying, a beautiful girl named Rebekah came, carrying her pitcher on her shoulder; she went down to the well and filled it with water.

The servant ran over to her said, “Please give me a drink from your pitcher.”

‘Certainly, sir, “she replied, “and I’ll water your camels too!”

She let down her pitcher from her shoulder and gave the servant a drink, then ran back to the well and began drawing water for his camels!

After the camels had finished drinking, the man gave Rebekah a gold earring and two gold bracelets. He asked her whose daughter she was and whether there was room at her father’s house for him and his men to spend the night. Rebekah told him she was the daughter of Bethuel and that there was plenty of room.

When the servant heard her say she was Bethuel’s daughter, he realized that she was a cousin of Isaac’s, for Abraham was Bethuel’s uncle. He was glad, so he bowed his head and worshipped the Lord, thanking God for helping him find the right girl so quickly.

Rebekah ran home to tell her mother that the men were coming. When her brother Laban heard about it and saw the earring and the bracelets, he ran to the well to find the man and to bring him home. After Laban had helped him unload the camels and feed them, it was time for supper, so Laban took Abrahams servant in to meet the family.

But the servant said he couldn’t eat until he had told them why he had come to their country. He said that he was Abraham’s servant and that the Lord had blessed Abraham and made him very rich. He had silver and gold. Flocks, and herds, camels and donkeys; God had also given him a son, Isaac, who needed a wife.

He told how he had come to the well that day and had prayed that God would help him find the right girl to be Isaac’s wife. He had prayed that God would help him find the right girl to be Isaac’s wife. He had prayed that if she was the right one, she would answer pleasantly when he asked for water. He told them that while he was still praying, Rebekah had arrived. When he asked her for a drink, she had said, “Of course, and I’ll water your camels too!”

Then the servant asked them whether or not they would let Rebekah go with him to marry Isaac. They said yes; since it was the Lord who had brought him to them, Rebekah could go.

When the servant heard this, he was very happy and worshipped the Lord. He brought out other beautiful presents, jewels of silver and gold, and beautiful clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. And he gave her mother and her brother presents too.

At last he and his men were ready to eat, and afterwards they stayed at Laban’s house all night.

Questions:

How did Abraham’s servant find the right girl?

What was her name?

How did she show that she was the right girl?

——————————————————————————————

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

Romans 8:14-19

Proverbs 17:22: A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Proverbs 19:27: Stop listening to teaching that contradicts what you know is right.

 

Do you remember that Abel sacrificed a lamb to God? Do you remember  how pleased God was with him for doing this?

We’ll one day God said to Abraham. “Abraham, take your son Isaac whom you love so much, and go to the land of Moriah and burn him as a sacrifice upon one of the mountains I will point out to you!”

Yes , Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac upon and altar just as Abel had to sacrificed that lamb so long before. How could Abraham kill his own dear son?

But God told him to do it.; Abraham heard Him speak. He knew that he must do whatever God said, and he knew that even if Isaac were burned on the altar so that nothing was left but ashes, God could take those ashes and make him live again.

So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey. He took two young men with him, some wood to lay on the altar, and Isaac, his son.

They started toward the mountain God had told him about. They travelled all that day and the next day and the next, before Abraham finally saw the mountain far ahead of them. Then he told the young men to stop and wait. He and Isaac would go to the mountain and worship, he told them, and then would come back to them.

Why do you think Abraham said that both of them would come back? I think it was because Abraham believed God would bring Isaac back to life.

Isaac carried the wood, and Abraham took some fire to light the wood (Since they had no matches). The two went on together.

Isaac did not know what God had told his father to do, nor why his father was taking him to the mountain. He knew they are going to offer a burnt offering, but he didn’t know he was going to be burnt up on the altar as a sacrifice. So as they walked along together, he said to his father, “Father, we have the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

Abraham answered, “My son, God will find Himself a lamb for the burnt offering.”

When they came to the place God had sent them to, Abraham built an altar and laid the wood on it. Then he tied Isaac and laid him on the wood, and Abraham lifted the knife to kill his son.

But at that instant the angel of God shouted to him from Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham! Stop!”

Then the angel told him not to hurt Isaac. Abraham had proved that he feared God. He had been willing to obey God’s command even if he had to sacrifice his own son.

Then Abraham noticed a Ram caught in the bushes by it horns. God had sent it there to be used as a burnt sacrifice (offering) instead of Isaac. Abraham killed it and burnt it on the altar.

God was greatly pleased with Abraham for being willing to obey. Then the angel of God spoke to him from heaven again and told him that God would bless him by giving him many, many, grandchildren and great grandchildren. His family would some day be so large, the angel said, that no one could even count them! And they would help all the other people in the world.

(The angel said this about helping other people everywhere, because the Savior of the world was going to be born into Abrahams family.)

Then Abraham and Isaac came back to the young men who were waiting for them, and they all returned home.

Sarah, Isaac’s mother, died when she was 127 years old. Abraham and Isaac came back cried a lot because she was dead. The Abraham asked the people who owned that country to sell him a piece of land where he could bury her.

In that country people were buried in caves made in the sides of hills. Then a great stone was rolled against the opening of the cave to close it. When anyone died the stone was rolled away and the dead person was laid inside the cave was shut up until someone else was buried there.

There was a man in that land whose name was Ephron, who owned a field with a cave at one end of it. Abraham wanted to buy this cave to bury Sarah in. So he asked Ephron’s friends to tell him that Abraham wanted to buy it.

Ephron said Abraham could have the cave without paying, but Abraham preferred to buy it. Ephron agreed to sell it, and Abraham gave him 400 pieces of silver for the cave and the nearby field and trees. So he buried Sarah there.

Abraham was getting very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.

Isaac was a full-gown man and wanted to get married. But his father Abraham didn’t want him to marry any of the girls in that country, because they all worshiped idols instead of worshiping God. He wanted Isaac to marry a girl from the country  where his relatives lived, where the people obeyed God and didn’t worship idols.

But that country was far away. So Abraham called his oldest servant, the one who was in charge of all his business, and asked him to go o that distant land where his relatives lived and to bring back a girl for Isaac to marry.

But what if I can’t find a girl who is willing to come so far? “The servant asked.

Abraham told him, “God will send an angel ahead of you to help you and the right girl to come and be Isaac’s wife.”

So then the servant loaded ten of Abrahams camels with beautiful presents and started off.

After many days of hard travel he finally arrived at the town where Abraham’s relatives lived. He made the camels kneel down by a well that was just outside the city.

Questions:

What did God tell Abraham to do?

What happen just as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac?

What did Abraham use as a burnt offering?

Why didn’t Abraham want Isaac to marry a girl from his own country?

What did Abraham tell his servant to do?

 

Yesterday I woke up, I have everything to be blessed about but still wondering in a precious Heavenly son who had everything to live for. He left this world with so much pain from others hurting him. Gang members caused his hurt of body and mind. In the past.  21 years ago, he left with loving everyone the night before happy with getting  love for someone back. Telling me he loved me before I left his friends home. Then one bottle of wine and a sawed off shot gun took my son’s life. They said suicide. Unanswered questions have left me breathless of why. One quick bullet. Why! I woke up at two in the morning with this song in my mind. Helped me to tell Bobby I love him and happy Heavenly Birthday and started to say May God bless you with many more and I said; Wait! You are right there with him and you don’t have no more hurt or worries. I woke up with the song of  Fortunately, this is usually a benign finding. Causes of Feeling With Your Heart in Your Chest. Ryan Stevenson ~ With Lifted Hands (Lyrics) ft. Martin Smith Remember, that’s where this organ is located. “Forceful beating of the heart and/or increased heart rates leading to palpitations may be caused by anxiety, stress, panic attack or fear. I continued to clean the house and mess up my photos I started looking at.  Made Walt’s breakfast etc. My son Josh came over. We spent some time.

Randy asked me the night before if I would be next door at 10 or 11 am, I said sure.  I went next door and saw Whizzy  knelling on the ground, with her hands, she was pulling weeds with her garden utensils. My heart wanted to get down on the ground and do it with her cause my soul was feeling the loss of my son not being here on his birthday. So I continued to the house and went in and started sweeping up the dead bugs from when I sprayed. Then I vacuumed the rooms and swept up the closets and bathroom etc.

So, Randy called and said that he was waiting for a man to come see the house at 12:45 or 1pm. So I went outside to talk with Whizzy , told her about a easier way to get the weeds. All and all I was thinking of her husband who recently passed, God was showing me that my soul {Father thank you for showing me that Your all I need} My soul was reaching out, I didn’t even realize it. This woman didn’t know my heart, but God does. He was with me through my confusion and yelling from inside me. I needed to surrender and let go again. My soul yesterday was out of the body, but was put back in its place.

 

Before that my son Josh and husband Walter went to what-a-burger got lunch, so I went back to the house to eat. Each time I went by Whizzy. She had done a terrific job getting those weeds on the side of the driveway. She didn’t even know she helped my soul to get back in order. When that man showed up I put my mind to what was happening cause I was back on track.

But, When I was asked for something I had sent to Randy that I was to give him. They gave me a ride and we went in the house, I looked at the mess of photos, my mind went blank.  My mind got lost back on my son Bobby. Well, they let me know they would get it later.  I went back to thinking of Whizzy and got her some flowering bulbs. She is an amazing woman and God put her in my path to realize her pain is still in that great person.  I started thinking of the song from Zack Williams, No Longer Slaves. I am always thinking or waking up to Christian Songs. I love music.  God has Bobby and he is safe. It is just the thought of missing him that always creeps in my soul when I least expect it or when I expect it. I thank God for all those who sends in my path each day and that He will never let me fall into stress. The mind can heal the body, but the body can’t heal the mind because God gave us His powerful mind and when our mind doesn’t think right. God is right here guiding it. Amen!

“God, even our own God, will bless us. And peoples from remotest lands will worship Him. Psalms 67:7 is what I picked yesterday.”

This is the chapter Psalm 67:

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us— so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us. May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

 

I don’t take messengers phone calls. Has nothing to do with you. I have had lot of people in the past be rude and vulgar. So I just text. Sorry. Lot of people who don’t know me don’t understand me and get mad and hang up! I get it! So they yell, scream and act weird! I get it! But as you can see. Must I say more. I am a business woman to those who call on me, not those who call and horas me. So I do most of my business and schooling online so people can see the real me that I am a real business woman trying to live life. I report those people wasting my time. But I have no time to do phone calls I am to busy doing this life and there is not enough time to sit there talking to people who don’t understand me anyways. I like talking to people face to face. This is how I am able  assisting people and guide them. Those who really need my assistance I do assist. I am not God!  I keep up with everyday demands. Only those God allows me to do. I love my job. Just saying. I love God and I love people and I am believing blessings over all those who understand this. Now I do poke those people who poke me on Facebook, because this is what I told everyone before. I can’t respond to everyone’s post and messages. I try! But to realize I do think of you and keep everyone special to me in my prayers. Don’t have to like my posts. Just poke me. I get to see everyone and poke them back. I do see a lot of posts in the little time I am on each day. The longer time is school work and miscellaneous  It may take about 2 weeks LOL! But if you went to church with me. Hmm! I would see you every week. LOL! This is how family’s and friends worked together in the olden days. If you know me and my qualifications when you call I will speak as well as I can. Just saying. Have a awesome Friday full of blessings, joy and love! To day is going to be your best day ever! I know it is my best day ever. 🙂 ❤
