Good morning! And thank you to everyone that has requested to be my friend. I have not been on for a few months as I am dealing with eye injections and an upcoming cataract surgery. I look forward to it all being over! I know the Lord is watching over me and that everything will be OK, and I look forward to being able to see properly again.

‘tis the season of joy and love and celebrating our beloved Saviour!

I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and that as the family gathers to celebrate there is much love, and healing where healing needs to take place in every way.

With much love from Canada!

AUTHENTIC FAITH - comes!
Romans 10:17
" So then faith comes by hearing, and
Hearing by the word of God."
The saving work of Jesus Christ is BORN & then grows in the "heart" of a listeners Exposure to God’s word which brings authentic faith.
Biblical faith is not 'void or a false' belief.
In Scripture, FAITH is portrayed as a HEART CONVICTION OF TRUST GROUNDED IN GODS REVEALED TRUTH!
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.”
This assurance is Born in the heart and unhindered-confessed as one HEARS the truth of the gospel, --(which always reflects on God’s character as trustworthy and consistent.)
This is a bulwark againt ALL arguments!
Faith Grows & flourishes by trusting that God’s promises-recorded and preserved in Scripture are reliable and relevant to every individual.
He sets His Word above His Name!
His integrity to His Word is higher in importance than His name!
The WORD OF GOD creates the hearing ear!
Take it and read it everyday!!

More and more I am being impressed by the Lord ... "Be holy, for I am holy" is a biblical command from God, found in the Old Testament (Leviticus 11:45) and echoed in the New Testament (1 Peter 1:16). By allowing the Holy Spirit to move and dwell within us, we are more and more developing the Mind of Christ.

I am also being convicted about total submission to the Lord, to be still and wait and don't just go with what we think He is telling us, but to submit our will to Him in all things.

It has been awhile since I have been in and posted. The last few months have been hectic. A Lot of warfare, a closer calling to what God's plan is in my life. I am deeply humbled by things happening, even though it means even more warfare to persevere....but we know that the only way we grow in Him is through the warfare and battles...and every scar brings us closer to Jesus and the Lord's will in our lives.

And it is never quite the direction we thought we were to go in....He has such greater things for us....people to meet, people to testify to, things to do in the background that no one realizes was even us as we do His will....

When in doubt, stand very still, and wait for the still small voice that says, go this way, or go that way.....do this and that, and always always give the glory to whom it belongs, There is no "I" in God except the Great "I am..."

An update to the crash that it took the life of that little girl.

On the Sunday that I went to pray for Brandon, his mom got me into the ICU and I was told by the nurses I was not allowed to speak to him audibly. He was definitely comatose and had been for seven days.

I just very quietly went to his bedside and begin to pray quietly over him and I spoke life to his mind and life to his body.

His mom was watching all this, and talking quietly with the nurse, but she gave me the time that I needed to pray until I felt to pray no longer.. His mom and whole family were unbelievers . Had known each other and been friends for 20+ years. And she always told me you can talk about that stuff all you want, but I don’t wanna hear it. I don’t believe in it.

I really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit with me as I prayed over Brandon and then I went to leave, I wanted to go and pray over Julia, but her family was not allowing anyone in so I stayed out in the hallway and I told my friend I can’t leave yet no matter what I have to pray for her.

So I stood there and I prayed and we left. The added bonus to all of this, was that I had a chance to testify to his friends and family, and her family that were gathered at the hospital.

I come home and I prayed all the way home That the Lord wake him up …. About three hours after I got home, I got a freaked out phone call from his mother, and she was crying and told me “I don’t know what you did, but he woke up!“ It was only for a few minutes enough to blink his eyes that he recognized his brother and able to squeeze his brother‘s hand. And then he slipped away from us again.

Three days later I got a phone call that he was awake and he was off life-support. We are still praying because of the brain injuries, unfortunately, his significant other was taken off life support the next day and passed away.

The doctor waited a few days and then told him of his loss, but he did not comprehend what had happened, right now he has short term memory loss since the accident on July 6. He continually asked for his phone and tries to call Julia. He acts as though he has the phone in his hand and is talking to her.

As I continue to pray for him, the Lord has been showing me that inside his head, there are sparks, not unlike when you are trying to connect wires and a spark results.

On Sunday, his mom and I are going back in for me to pray with him again. This time he will be awake. Most likely. He is violent and acting out, and has restraints on him.

For those of you that follow my post, I am asking to you just to take the time to offer a prayer up for Brandon.

I do believe that God has a purpose for this young man, otherwise he would not have survived this horrific accident, and be the only one of his family to walk away. God would not have woken him up if he did not have a purpose for him. I really crave the prayers of people here, whether you know him or not or whether you know me or not,

There is so much power in prayer, and it’s not buy might and not by power, but by MY Spirit says the Lord

A week ago today there was a horrific three vehicle crash that took the life of a 10-year-old child. Both parents are in the hospital on life-support.

After church today, I will be going into the hospital with the family to pray over the parents. Dad‘s mother and I have been friends for 20 years and I have witnessed to her for every one of those years. I am praying that today will be the day that she sees a miracle and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour.

I would appreciate anyone reading this just for a moment and say a quiet prayer and agreement with me. Thank you.

A Prayer For The New Month: Dear God, thank You so much for bringing me into a new month. Every month You’ve given me this year has been a miracle, and I can’t thank You enough. As I step into this new month, I let go of everything that’s been holding me back. I move forward in faith, knowing that You are a God with all power in Your hands. I don’t know what I will face this month, but I do know that You are all I need to endure to the end. Your word in Job 8:7 says, “Though your beginning was insignificant, yet your end will increase greatly.” God, I thank You that I can hold on to that promise—not just for this month, but for the rest of this year. I give this month to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. -Matthew 7:7

Beautiful Beautiful words.....my heart is bowing to the Lord....

Dear God, thank You for another day that You’ve given me. The breath in my lungs is reason enough to give You praise. I’ve been feeling the weight of so many things, and that pressure has left me exhausted. Your word in Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.” I know Your word is true, and I believe that at any moment, You can shift me from waiting on it to walking in it. My job is to take care of the possible—and trust You with the impossible. I’ll trust You more and worry less about what’s ahead. Thank You for hearing my prayer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. -Psalm 56:3

It has been a trying week...and I was unable to get on as much as I like to read and catch up! For those who have accepted my friend requests, thank you. I love to read your stories, listen to your songs, and I especially love testimonies on what the Lord has done in your life.

For me the last few weeks have been exciting. I have had an offer to be a "Featured Breeder" on a website, and write an article for them. I am partway into preparing a course for people who would like to become responsible, knowledgeable breeders.

I was starting to research about becoming a non-profit for the Lords work in Kenya, however, right now in the midst of the Canadian election, they are trying to take away churches and charities non-profit status, so am praying heavily on that, not for me but for our churches and our most vulnerable people whom are helped by churches and charities. Please pray into that with us. Thank you and may God bless you richly this week!

Below my name is the quick post from Facebook and the pic

From Facebook posting:
"Churches aren't the only religious charities that could be affected by this change. It could also affect Christian summer camps, retirement homes and various other missions as well. Paying the revocation tax which is equal to all of the assets of the charities would likely kill most of them as it would include the value of the real estate. This is what the liberal government wants."

Today I received my Birthday present from the Lord. I was so privilaged to witness my youngest daughter Angela, son-in-law Mark, 2 granddaughters Jocelyn and Taylor(eldest), my eldest granddaughters fiance Xavier, and our great friend and neighbour Big Mark...go into the waters of baptism. This is a great and fabulous Easter! And the Grand River as I understand, was roughly about 42 F today....BRRRRRRRR

Dear God, thank You for the power of the resurrection. The tomb is empty, just like You said it would be. You are not here—You are risen. And because of that, I have hope, I have purpose, and I have eternal life. Jesus, You paid it all. You took the punishment I deserved, and You conquered death so I could walk in freedom. Because of Your blood, I am forgiven. Because of Your love, I am redeemed. You are the Good Shepherd who walks with me through every valley—and because You live, I never have to fear what’s ahead. Your word in Revelation 1:5 says, “To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood.” You didn’t just save me—you gave me a new identity and called me Yours. I’ll never stop thanking You for the cross, for the resurrection, and for the life You offer so freely. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. -Matthew 28:6

I Am Ready!

Dear God, thank You for being faithful through every moment, even when I didn’t have the strength to keep going on my own. Lately, it’s been hard, and there’s been so much on my mind. I’ve had days where the tears came easier than the words, but even in the silence, You were there. I’m asking You for strength that goes beyond what I can feel—peace that settles the storm inside me. This anxiety will not have the final say. Your word in John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Looking back, I can see how even the hard moments were shaping me. The pain had a purpose. My scars may remind me of what I went through, but they also remind me that I survived it. I’m still here, and that alone is a miracle. I trust You with what’s ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. -Colossians 3:2

Dear God, thank You for being the One who watches over me day and night. You’ve been my shield when I didn’t even realize I was under attack. I know the enemy is always looking for ways to steal my joy and shake my confidence, but I refuse to live in fear. Your word in 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says, “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” So today, I lean into Your strength. I ask that You cover me and my loved ones with divine protection. Silence every voice that tries to bring confusion, and expose every trap that’s been set against me. Give me discernment when I need to make decisions, and help me to stay grounded in Your truth. I know that no attack from the enemy can override Your promises. Because I belong to You, I walk in confidence, knowing that victory is already mine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. –Psalm 18:2

You & God got this!

Are you at YOUR threshold? Are you fighting, and wondering what is happening?

Dear God, thank You for the grace to step into a brand new month. I’m walking into this season with open hands and an open heart, trusting that You’ve already prepared the way for me. You’ve been with me through every high and low, and I believe You’re not finished writing my story. Your word in Isaiah 43:19 says, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Help me to release old burdens and make room for the new blessings You’re bringing. Let this be a month filled with peace, growth, and clarity. Strengthen me for whatever I have to face, and remind me that You’re walking with me every step of the way. I give this month completely to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land. -Isaiah 58:11

Years ago, I used to do gratitude journalling each day. I would write down five things that I was grateful for and five things I wanted to be grateful for. But had not materialized in my life yet. It could’ve been a battle I was fighting, or a need for my family or just something I wanna go to change in my heart. The scripture in Romans that says that God calls those things which are not, as though they were. As I thought on that scripture, I changed the way I was journalling and I began to write them down so they had already happened so I wrote them in the present tense. I began to notice that because of my gratitude and the way that I was praying and journalling that things began to change around. and I began to receive the things that I was grateful for, even though I had not seen them in my life before. I have just started doing this again because each day I am grateful for something even in the little things even in the things that are harsh and hard to handle there is always a blessing if you will just look at it in the right perception.

I posted my new puppies a couple of days ago and the tiniest one has not been doing well. I had to set my phone alarms to every few hours to get up and supplement feed to save this puppy life. So I am tired and at times I am discouraged, but I prayed over my puppy and I am believing God for her life and I am thanking God for her life. She is meant to be a blessing to some family who needs her.

So Lord today, I lift up my little Puppy‘s life and I say thank you for her life thank you that she will survive and thrive and become a blessing to whoever needs her. I trust you, Lord that no matter what happens it is for the right and in your will. Thank you for today.

Dear God, thank You for waking me up and giving me another day of life. Each morning is a gift that I’ll never take for granted. I’m so grateful for Your presence and the peace You give me as I face a brand new day. Your word in Isaiah 40:29 says, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Thank You for that promise. No matter what challenges I face today, I believe You will give me the power I need to walk through it. You’ve carried me before, and I know You’ll continue to carry me now. Strengthen me where I feel weak and remind me that I don’t walk alone. Thank You for being my source of hope and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in You alone. -Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭22‬

My heart is full of gratitude to the Lord this morning for the puppies that were born today. This is God’s business and I am always so thankful to him for these beautiful little dogs. They bring such happiness to the people who get them, and they fund the kingdom of God. So today my heart is full. If you look closely at the middle picture and see the very tiny paw of the puppy, smaller than even my fingernail or thumbnail. God makes things perfect and so amazing! My heart is filled with love and wonder at his marvelous works every time I deliver a puppy!
