Jesus is the Vine

     I have been enjoying Bible Journaling for the past year.   I will start posting some of my journaling to here so that you all can have some fun as well.  This is a 4 week series, however only the first three weeks are all that is done. Week 1    John15:1    “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Gardener:  "a nurturer of all life, protector, and planter, a designer, keeper, and pruner.  Concerned with life's flourishing's.  God is our gardener.  Jesus is the vine, we are the branches; grow and connect to him <foundational truth> < Our closeness to Jesus is important for us to keep this foundation.>   Week 2 John 15:9    “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. He has already pulled us to him, it is up to us to Keep God's love Week 3                              ...

I have always loved this park, very fond memories of going here as a child.  The winter of 2007 killed so many of the azaleas so sad as the whole park used to be completely covered.   These plants are still small but still beautiful, and not even at peak of blooming. Do you enjoy visiting things from your childhood?  My next place I would love to visit it my grandparents old homestead in east TX.  When my grandfather passed in 1995 the land was in the same name over 100 yrs, the family decided to sell it off :(  the old house fell in and looks very different now.  The people told us any time we wanted to come and go down memory lane we were welcome same with the people who bought my parents home. Today's bible verse Wednesday, April 26 Acts 5:20 20  “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”

  Wednesday, April 19 James 5:16 16  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Hi all, I hope your doing well with spring time my favorite time of the year as it reminds me how everything is renewed...Kind of like my faith, gets a daily renewal.   Let me tell you sisters, if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior now is the time to get to know him!   The end times are here and you do not want to be left and not knowing the Almighty King!   I have recovered from my depression thank you for the ones who prayed for me.    Mental health is very real, next time you talk to your friend, sister, brother (whom ever) and they mention depression, anxiety, fear, remember to tell them they are not alone and there is a lot of help out there today.  This is not a made up illness it is very real.   I suffer from depressio...

Holy Week

 I am sorry everyone for disappearing from blogging  I had to take a social media break.   Depression got ahold of me and wouldn't let me go.  I devoted more of my time to doing my bible journaling.   Reasoning for depression, the 28th of March was the 2nd anniversary of my husband passing.   I am not asking for a pitty party at all.   God got me thru it and out of the depression  HOSANNA to the KING in the highest  Thank you sweet Jesus for making this trip into Jerusalem and dying on the cross for our transgression and our sins.    How awesome it would have been to see Jesus riding the donkey colt into Jerusalem with the people putting the palm branches on HIS path.   Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King 12  The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.   13  They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna...

Thankful Thursday

These pics were taken 3/1/23 was a cloudy dreary day then I looked out my window and WOW Reminds me of Gods Creations daily.  The longer I was out the redder it got (Red sky at night sailors delight!)      Now to my Thankful Thursday     I am thankful everyday for the many blessings God gives to me and that he always has His angels of protection around me. This week has been truly a roller coaster *with a great BIG r*  Sunday it was 52 degrees outside (early in week they had said bad weather potentially)  living in OK we can have 4 seasons inside a few hours.   Around 9pm phones started going off warning of the tornadoes in the very SW part of OK which is 250 miles away, traveling toward OK City 105 mph  eek this is hurricane 1 wind speeds.   Then it takes the turn toward the Tulsa area glued to the tv (105 mph wind my little travel trailer or my friends mobile home would not withstand that type of winds and producing...

Happy Valentines Day

Something I made in 2014 thought you would enjoy This was our magical day July 14, 2018 we got married 36 yrs from the day he asked me to wear his classing and be his girlfriend.   Funny, we went to the same school he was a senior when I was a freshman.  Went to the same church back then the single boys sat on on side the married couples in the middle and the single girls on the other side.   We would catch a glimpse of peeking at each other.   We initially met at church camp Wed July 14 1982 also the day I accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior in front of 5000 other people oh what a day that was.   Life took us the full circle until we were back together in 2016 only to find 3 months later he was in stage 4 colon cancer.  We went thru chemo every 2 weeks wearing a 48hr drip, it was awful.   Gator (Gary) was truly a fighter all the way till the end.     This is my 2nd Valentine without him, I just try to ke...

Happy Friday

 This was taken a few years back but felt appropriate since we had last week Sleet, snow and freezing rain.  Thankfully the freezing rain stopped and we ended up with almost 3" of sleet.    Thank you for the prayers for my great nephew Justin, he got to go home but has a long road ahead of him.   We found he has no immune system at all and will be on Immunoglobulin for the rest of his life most likely.   He is a tough little cookie. Yesterday (Thursday) it was 60* out and today 36 feels like 28 I wish Father time would just apologize to Mother Nature and do those honey dos. I hope all of you have a blessed weekend. Do you watch the Superbowl?  Did your team make it?  if not who will you route for?  here the KC Chiefs are my team and they are Superbowl bound.  What traditions do you have if you watch it?  here making rotel cheese dip with chips and sweet tea.   I may make a warm soup depending on the weather.
