Happy 47 Years of Marriage!

On July 30th 1966 my husband and I were married.  We were very young and so much in love and even today we love each other more than ever.  In three years we are going to renew our vows on our 50th year of our marriage. 

I met my husband at the age of 12 at Paramount Jr. High School. I was walking out of my home room and I saw this young man with who's smile left an imprint on my heart.  His sky blue eyes and black curly hair. Oh my goodness!  I never met him so I did not get to know his name.

He moved away and I moved away and when my parents moved to Rowland Heights, Ca. I was attending Rowland High School.   I was walking home from high school with my long time friend Henny.  I see this young handsome man standing out by the garage just smiling at me and my heart was singing out. I thought to myself, I have seen this smile, and his sky blue eyes and black curly hair and our eyes connected. Yep! The young man came back into my life that I saw when I was only 12 years of age! Our love together will be forever!!

We started dating and we were married a month after I graduated from High School in 1966. 
Happy Anniversary my love.  

More of His Love

This is a new day to a new beginning. In the early morning hours I open my day by giving thanks to my Lord Jesus! Every breath I take is for him. He is the air that I breathe.


Today is the present and Jesus, is the gift. I live my life through him. He is the reason for everything. I untie the colorful bow and open my present. I open my bible and read the scriptures. I pray to Jesus, and pray for my family, my church and I pray for others. What I do is unto Jesus.


I sing praises to my Lord in the spirit and in truth. I love to worship Him. I love to go to church and I am planted in my church. On this solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.


Life is not perfect but when your life is in Jesus,he will make your path straight. Jesus, is the only one that is perfect. He says that he will never leave you or forsake you. That is his promise.

My Journey

For we walk upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me. In Luke 10:19 Jesus, gives us the authority to walk upon this earth for nothing to hurt us.

Hanging onto Jesus and what is in your heart the mouth speaks. Even when there is bumps in the road and speaking the scriptures out loud and singing him a new song and this is what is going to get you up and over the bumps, and through the storms of life.

He will never leave you or forsake you; Hebrews 13:5 With all of this in your heart and suddenly you are in a storm and you need to take cover and suddenly what flows out of your mouth is singing praises to His holy name and when it is over hang onto him because our God is a mighty God and there is nothing to fear! Hang on and draw yourself closer to him.

Jesus called his twelve disciples and gave the authority to drive out the evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness Mathew 10:1.
You are his disciples, he has given you his authority, his word and his blood to do this. You have been called to do this, to read his word, stay in prayer, go to church and to serve him 110 % and give him your very best, he has already giving you his very best.

Love Warms the Soul

Love Warms the Soul

To be able to wake up in the morning and as soon as my feet hits the floor, I celebrate with giving thanks to my Lord, Jesus, for what he has done.

The sun rays beaming through the window shades is dancing upon the walls. My heart is singing with pure delight and I celebrate the morning with a song of praise. My soul is filled with pure love and warms my heart with a joyful sound. I sing for joy, at the works of His hands, forever I will love you. My heart is racing and I sing because I am happy, I sing and dance for the "Joy of the Lord is my strength."

My morning is being blessed by singing and giving thanks for, Jesus, is my heart. No one else can do the things that he can do. He, makes my life complete. He, has healed my body, He has made my marriage strong, and I know that I know he lives in my body.

I sing for joy, forever, I will love you, nothing will compare to the promise, I have with you. My Lord and Savior. The sun, is rising and my heart is filled with His love that warms my heart, deep within my soul.  

Special Day For All Father's

Happy Father's Day to the men in my life. My earthly Father is no longer living on this earth, he is seated in heavenly places with our Heavenly Father. Along with my mother, brother, and sister. 

On this special day we are honoring Father's. If your father is alive, go and tell him how special he is to you and that you love him. If you need to forgive him for what he has done to you, make the effort, before it is to late. You do not want to carry that burden in your heart of unforgiveness, grief or whatever it is. Life is to short!

My husband and I started our day with prayer, going to church, coming home and being blessed with our son and our grand daughters. Just sharing laughter and having a delicious fish fry. The time together was priceless. Sitting together around the table and making memories to last forever. Happy Father's Day!

                                             Straight To The Heart

                            

                                      

                                 Forty women attended the woman's advance in Anaheim at     

                                 the Hyatt Regency on the weekend of Friday on May 25, 26 of 2013 and we 

                                 left on Sunday morning ready to go to church at Gracious Living Church in 

                                 Upland, California.

                                 The Woman's Advance was incredible. Jesus, captivated my heart and He

                                 took me to His most high place.

                                 I now have a devoted heart and Jesus, is in the center and I lay everything at 

                                 the feet of Jesus. My hearts desire is to be more like Jesus.

                                 In Proverbs 14:1  says that a wise women builds her house. You also can tear

                                 your house down with your hands if you miss manage your home.  So be a wise

                                 woman and pray and go to church. Love your husband and let him be 

                                 the leader of the home and intercede for him that he makes good Godly                  

                                 decisions. Let Jesus, be in the center of everything.

                                 Teaching our children to do what is right in the sight of the Lord. Praying                                             

                                 together and taking them to church. Not letting the arguments to set in. You 

                                 can speak to it and it has to flee just by spiritual warfare. 

                                 Fight for your family by praying and interceding for them and by fasting               

                                 for them.

                                 This is what spiritual warfare is all about. Words of life.

                                  

                                 My hope is in Jesus! Loving and serving Jesus.

                                Isaiah 40:31

                                Those who hope in the Lord 

                                will renew their strength.

                                They will soar on wings like eagles;

                                They will run and not grow weary,

                                They will walk and not grow faint.

                                

       

                    

Sixty Five And Growing In Grace 

   

I was born on Mother's Day and my mother use to call me and I can still hear voice even today,  saying well your birthday did not make it this year on Mother's Day, but you still are my mother's day gift, that God gave to me.  

If your mother is still living give her a beautiful gift, a flower or a card to tell her how much you love her. Mother's are so precious, they are the gift.  I miss my mother so very much.

Now I am a mother and a grand mother and great grandmother and everyone of these children are precious.  I pray for them daily.  They are children of God.  I miss my daughter, she is living in ABQ. New Mexico, with my Grandsons and Great Granddaughter and soon to be born my first Great Grandson.  My son is living in California and he comes and visits me, which is a blessing.  My husband is a blessing, he makes me very happy.  So for going on 65, I am very blessed and Jesus, still has something for me to do on this earth and I am growing in His grace and life is very good. 

Under The Sunset Skies  

             

Life is beautiful when you are serving Jesus and having Him as your Lord and Savior!

Even when this not so perfect world there is peace where Jesus bounds.  He is my protector, my shield, my provider, my healer and he is everything to me. 

I have been a Christian for a while now,  and he has turned my life around for the better. I was going to hell in a hand basket and I knew that I had to make a change in my life.  The life I now live I live for Jesus. I am glad that I let Jesus, make all the changes in me. Yes there still can be improvements in me, that is why Jesus, is the potter and I am the clay, he molds me and makes me better each day. 

My marriage with my husband is totally awesome, I love him more today, than I did when we were first married. We are going on 47 wonderful years on July 30TH, what a blessing! With two children, 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.  The second great grandchild will be born in August this year! Guess what, there is going to be a third great grandchild!! Father Abraham!!

As we both maturing and well seasoned with our age, there is wisdom and understanding. Life is good and day by day it only gets better living under the sunset skies.

I Will Sing, I Will Dance, I Will Clap My Hands

Today is the best day because, Jesus lives big in me. He fills my heart with his love, over flowing and over filling me by his anointing power. I do not keep it to myself, I go out and pray for others and for their healing and to set them free. I cannot set them free, but in prayer God Set's the captives free.
I have one hand reaching to God and one hand reaching to the person that I am praying for.  I am just a conduit and leading them to Jesus.
I help to teach them that there is a better way. His name is Jesus, He is the one who died on the cross for our sins, and he is the only way, the truth and the life and without, Jesus we are nothing.
This is why Jesus, lives big in my heart. I will sing and I will dance and I will clap my hands, and I will let the king of glory walk right in.
The Joy of the Lord is my strength, He is the reason for everything. Early in the morning and when my feet hit the floor, I say good morning, Jesus, thank you for this new day a new beginning. Today is the present, it is a gift and I will untie the bow and tear off the wrapping paper and open the package to see what Jesus,  has in store for me today. Enjoy your day and many blessings to you.

 

No Child Left Behind

California, is the state where people's dreams become a reality. You can purchase your dream home in the land where it flows with milk and honey.
In this economy where jobs are hard to come by and in the State of California people have lost their dream homes and lost all of their possessions and moved on to who knows where they have moved to.
Now the schools have lost their funding due to the overspending and with all the cutbacks. The State of California has withheld 20% schools funding, to help balance their budget. As a result of the our school district we have lost the bus drivers-that means the children are walking to school which is two miles away. Not to mention the jobs that were lost, in our area alone there were 18 bus drivers in our school district. Plus all the maintenance workers.

The children that are walking to school are k-sixth grades and they have to walk in the conditions where there is no sidewalks and it takes the children over an hour to get to their school at Granite Hill Elementary. They are leaving their homes at 6:30 in the morning-just to be able to make it on time before the school bell rings.
This is a hardship on the parents because some of the residents have only one vehicle and it is very hard for the parents to get their children to and from school.

What is going to happen in the winter months with the wind and the rain? The Santa Ana's, winds blow "60 to 70 miles an hour" in our area.This is very dangerous conditions for the children to be walking in. The wind blows over high pro-file vehicles. Rainy weather conditions will make it impossible for the children to walk in because there is no sidewalks, curbs or gutters. Traffic conditions are a nightmare for people who are driving their children to school and letting them off and picking them up after school.
At a four way stop at Ben Nivea, and Cam-bell there is no crossing guard available. South side of the 60/freeway over-crossing.

The path of the children that the school district suggested-right now they are building a half way home for the parolees. If you go online their are several sex offenders and child molesters in our area. The state and the school are responsible for the children until the time they leave for school-until the time they return home.
The children really need their school buses back. This is for their protection, and for their safety. California has a motto "No Child Left Behind."

My Soul Mate

I was blessed with my soul mate, and we celebrated our 46TH years of our marriage. Each day is a blessing with each other. Living together and blessing one another is sharing and caring and of course we have our moments of disagreements but the love of Jesus, living in our hearts, we ask for forgiveness and tell each other how much we love one another and we never let the sun go down without saying I am sorry! A family that prays together will stay together.

 Happy Anniversary, my love and you have capativated my heart!
 We join together in one mind and one accord in Christ Jesus, who is our chief corner stone.

The Prayers of a Righteous Man

Times in life are getting harder and the stuff that is hitting your families that you have no control over and you are in the pits. You are saying to yourself, I cannot handle this anymore! Maybe it is time for a change. You have tried it your way. Maybe, just maybe there is a better way.

You have been through a divorce, or maybe a loved one has died and you are flat broke. You are deep in drugs and you cannot find your way out. Serving your time in jail. Whatever your situation is, there is hope. His name is, Jesus. He is your only hope. He is the way the truth and the life, without him you have no hope.

Confess your sins to one another and give your life to him. He will hear you and he will deliver you. It is simple as that.

James 5:16 Says the effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
God is very much for you and he loves you. He wants you to succeed and to serve him. To have his joy, his peace, his love, overflowing and overfilling you. To have a family that will love you, that will pray for you. For you to be able to have healthy life. To be able to have children that are obedient.

Jesus says " I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14.6
There will be bumps in the road, but life will be easier. Trust, faith, and have a clean heart and the prayers of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

The Wedding Ceremony

On a warm summers night of June, and we are on our way to Albuquerque New Mexico. Ridding the  Metro Link Train. We boarded our train, in Riverside, California and someone got on the train before us and they were drinking alcohol.
The lady who was taking our ticket, got into my husbands face and said "I smell alcohol" My husband said to her "I do not drink." She did not believe him. She looked at my granddaughter and said to her, "I smell alcohol." I told her that my husband and my granddaughter does not drink.
Then she was called upstairs. She found out who it was, he was causing a problem. He was threaghtening people and they called the sheriffis office and they put him off in Victorville, California. In the hands of the sheriffs.
 We all had a peacful ride and the next afternoon we were in ABQ. New Mexico. A lady got ill on the train and they had to call for an ambulance, and my daughter and grandson saw that ambulance, and they thought it was for one of us and when they saw us get off that train they were releaved.
That night the men went to the bachelor party and all of the ladies went to the pizza place. The next day we were getting ready for the wedding making the bows and the girls were making the wedding boutineers
Saturday came and the wedding ceremony was taking place, everyone looking so beautiful, and the bride is looking like a princess. The grooms eyes are on his beautiful bride as she is strolling down the isle with her father and her long beautiful hair gently blowing in the wind.

 The wedding officiate says who gives this Woman to be wedded to this man, and the Father says I do. The ceremony is beautiful as both of them alternate the pouring of the sand and saying to one another I am yours, you are mine together forever, and like the wind we are one. Taking the marriage vows and with this ring I thee wed. A beautiful prayer was said and when the officiate says you may now kiss your bride. He now announces to the guest, I would like to introduce to you all, Mr and Mrs Adam Clifford.

We all walk inside to the building where they have everything all set up for the reception.  They have it all set up with the flowers and all the tables decorated and with the music playing.
They bride and groom are dancing together their first dance as man and wife. Then it was father and daughter dancing to the tune of Daddy's Little Girl.  Tears of Joy and smiles from the dads face as he looked into his precious daughter's face.

We all ate together and laughed and cried and danced a merry dance with the bride and groom and we all blessed them for the money dance .
The cutting of the cake and as people were taking the precious photos and the tossing of the garter and the brides bouquet of flowers and the couple who caught them danced together.
I am sure everyone had beautiful dreams that night. The bride and groom were off on their honeymoon.
Congratulations to Adam and Erica, may you always have the love for one another, and let Jesus be in the center of your marriage. A family that prays together always stays together.

A Celebration for Papa Jesse Mason Our Pastor

May 5. 20012, on this day the church is celebrating the life of Jesse Mason, who was our pastor at Christian Chapel in Walnut, Calif.  Jesse and his wife Clare together they Ministered to many people for over 25 years.

Jesse Mason, loved God with a passon and he was a wonderful role model and a caring person.  Stan, said to me when the first time he met Jesse, our pastor and they shook hands, the next time we came to church, Jesse shook Stan's hand and Jesse, called my husband by his first name.  That stuck in Stan's heart and we stayed at Christian Chapel until we moved to Riverside and started attending Solid Rock Church in Corona.

One day at Christian Chapel, I had a pack of cigarettes in my purse and I heard a voice saying, give that pack of cigarettes to Jesse. So when chuch was over, I said to Jesse, "The spirit of the Lord, said to give this to you, and he said with a big smile on his face, "Thank you." He put that pack of cigarettes in his front pocket. From that moment on, I never smoked another cigarette again. But come that Monday morning I drove to the store and got out of the car and right in front of me was a whole cigarette right down by my feet. I chose to step on that cigarette and said to it, get off me satan, in the name of Jesus, I serve Jesus and only Him do I serve. 
Still to this day, I have never craved another cigarette.

Jesse and Clare, just celebrated their 60th, Wedding Anniversary.  What a blessing for all of us who attended Christian Chapel. Who got to know this loving couple who loves Jesus,  and now Jesse Mason who is dancing and praising, Jesus in Heaven. Until we meet again, Papa Jesse. I can hear Jesus, saying well done and faithful servant.

My Picture Was Posted On The BillBoard AT Times Square

I always wanted to visit New York, I never thought that New York would see my face, without me being there. Above the Golden Arches.
I want to go and to be able to see downtown New York, and to shop at the stores. Just to go and see the statue of Liberty. New York, New York!
Wow! I can only imagine what it would be like to go and see the Niagara Falls, and hear the roaring sounds of the falls.
Maybe one day, but at least my picture made it to New York. Thank you, Dove for choosing my picture and to represent California.

Prayed Up, Read Up, Geared Up

Do Not Leave Home Without Being Prayed Up, Read Up, Geared Up!

In the early morning hours, I will pray, this is the best time for me, to give thanks to my Lord, Jesus, and what He has done for us all on the cross.  The best thing, He did not just stay on the cross, He arose from the dead on the third day. He ascended to heaven and He is seated at the right hand of the throne of His Father.  He is praying for us.  How awesome is that.

You people who want to take God out of our nation, our schools, take prayer out of our Goverment, our schools and now look at you. You cannot even balance a budget, the teachers are going crazy. If you do not pray for your children they will stray and go down the wrong path. Pray that our country puts God first and puts prayer in our schools, and when the Goverment officials have their meetings that they will  pray first. Give us back our National Prayer Day!

Please remember, before leaving home, pray for one another, and your children and your nation, our leaders that they turn from their ways and turn to God! In God do we trust. God please, bless America.

Create In Me A Clean Heart

Just when I think I have my heart right, and doing all the things the right way. In your secret place is where, Jesus, is looking at, where you hide all the stuff that hurts you the most.  He brings this to your attention and He wants us to work on this.

Humble yourself, and repent and let Him make all the changes.  He will show you the way.  Open up the bible and the scripture will speak to you, and pray to Jesus, to create in you a clean heart and to renew a right spirit in you.

He will speak to you, and he will make all the right changes, and stay humble and pray, and go to church and join in the woman's group, locking arms with them.

You will be surprised what Jesus, can do! I am His handmaiden daughter and oh how He loves us, so!
He will massage your heart, and he will make you in to a new person!

Memories in the Makings

In this very moment, I am so very deep in prayer with my sister Sandy, who is fighting pancreatic cancer and she is in her last moments on this earth.  She was in a coma, the day before and she woke up with her son at her bedside, and she was asking for her daughter and her best friend which is her dog.  Jesus, has His hands on her and the angels are all around her.  She is in Kirksville, Missouri.  She was born and raise in California, and her later days, she moved to Missouri. Her two children and grandchildren are with her.  An, artist, loves music, crafter, and a beautiful handmaiden child of the most high God. Her beauty is inside and out.  Her last days with her husband was tragic, but God turned that around for His good.  With most of our family that came to her side and cried with her, prayed with her and we all loved on her.  With the smiles and her joy that was in her heart that we all saw was priceless. The circle of love.

She is leaving behind her two children, Johnny and Cheri, and Sandy's creative ability lives within her children and grandchildren.  Cheri loves animals and critters, and her ability to paint is incredible and her writing skills as she paints a picture with her words.  Johnny is about to marry in August and he wanted for his mother to see him marry the girl of his dreams. She will be there, with both of them,  in the spirit, along with his grandparents.

I will miss my sister very much, and my tears are flowing, but knowing that she will be in no more pain and suffering and knowing that she will be in heaven and she has giving her life to, Jesus, has put peace upon me.  She will be painting the heavens along with my mother, Bea who is an artist, and my father, and my brother who is a musician, singer and writer.

Cherish the moments with your loved ones. Time is flying by and the moments that you have together, will be memories in the makings.  Today is the present, open up the gift, and see what is for you today. 

Sandy has gone on to be with Jesus. The battle has been won! She will be laid to rest under the towering trees.

Dedicated to Sandy Mae East Johnson  05/28/1957  03/18/2012 

I Blog 4 Jesus

Together, Stan and I were at a GTT Event, and that is Geographical Training Time, in Upland at GLC which is our church called Gracious Living Church and our Lead Pastor is Joe Cano and his wife Sue Cano.

The GTT, Training Time, is a life changing time for us all. I will never be the same.  That is how bibical, Tryone Daniel spoke, with an anionting power from God. They have a team of anointing men and women who love God to the fullest, inside and out, and they all travel to the most outer parts of the world teaching and preaching the word of God. They are based in Denver, Co. Their church is called Redemption City Church. Tryone Daniel and his wife, Nicole Daniel travels all around the world speaking about God. They do exactly what God says to do in the bible. Mark 16:15 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. In Acts 1:8  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

This is what they believe in and what they do this to the best of their ability and put it into practice daily into their lives.
We believe that God is the Creator of heavens and earth. We believe that He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to redeem all people from sin and to be Lord and Savior. We believe that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in those who have received Jesus as Lord and intimately leads us in His ways, and in relationship with God. We believe that the Bible is the authority from God – His living Word through which He speaks to us and shows us His nature and His purposes. We believe that our lives must be rooted in the Word of God, and His Church founded on and operated according to the truths therein.

This is what we all did together at the GTT Training Time in Upland, Ca. at GLC, Imagine That!

More of Jesus, and less of us, inside and out. Getting along with other's and loving each other and being the best that we all can be. Telling people that, Jesus, is alive and well.  Being in one mind and one accord with Jesus.  We were all reaching to the heavens and surrendering our lives to our Heavenly Father. We all worship together, lifiting up, Jesus, and giving Him all the Glory!  Together we all heard the word of God. In together with prayer. We broke bread together.  The hospitality, was awesome! The training time was beautiful! Thank you all! For such a time as this, we must put this information into practice, daily, what we have learned!! We all must all have a vision, without it we will parish. Get a Revelation from God, and go and do what God says to do. God bless us all, He is our Creator, Jesus, is our savior, the Holy Spirit, comes on us with power, for to witness to other's that, Jesus, is alive and well.  He will be returning soon! People get ready!

Being Humble

Coming into our church and being the new kid on the block.  We are the new person and learning names and trying to remember but there is a blank, you are saying to yourself, please Lord help me remember these names. I have a few down but need to learn more names.  This is truly a humbling experience.  We are on the other side of getting to know who everyone is.  The people are so beautiful and I want to get to know everyone but it is going to take some time, there is alot of people to get to know. 

My hope is in, Jesus and He will bring me through this.  Remembering names is hard and I have to keep on asking people what their name is.  That is not helping, because some of them say to me, you have already asked me what my name is. Some names, stick and some slips by. No Rhyme or reason, why I remember some and not others.

I know that I can do all things through, Jesus, and He is the one who strenghtens me. For now I am being humbled and I am on a mission to listen to God and hear His voice, clearly. In, Jesus, mighty name, amen!

The Year of 2012

Wow, what a way to start off the New Year, is to be around believers that are filled with the Spirit of God! This new year, is going to be an amazing year.  I want to see how lives are changed as they grow closer to Him and how they surrender their lives to Him.  Just by lifting your arms to Him and say I surrender, Jesus, have your way with me.  Go into the area where I hide all my secrets.  Have thy way with me. Jesus, is such a gentleman that He will not do anything unless you ask Him.  He gives you the choice.  I surrender all of me, to Your full authority, I surrender all. 

I want changes in my life, I just do not want the crumbs, that fall off the table but I want what, Jesus has in store for me.
To do His will in my life. Not what I want but what, Jesus, wants. I surrender all. I lift my hands in the air and say, "Have your way with me."

Cheers to the New Year of 2012! May you be blessed to be a blessing.

Jesus, Healed Me

Lately the vision in my right eye, has not been seeing what it should be seeing. I have been going to the eye Doctor's for my right eye.  I had high blood pressure and have got that down to normal, but I had an eye stroke and it left me where I was not seeing out of my right eye.  I could see, but I was seeing squiggly lines and everything looked like an hour glass.

At our church last Sunday our Pastor called us up who needed a healing and I came up and I was believing that I was going to be set free from this issue. When it came my turn to speak into the mic, I told everyone that I came to be set free from not being able to see out of my right eye.  I was touching the Hem of His garment.  I was praising Jesus, and I felt His presence and then I walked back to the talble and felt a warm sensation come over me.

I was healed.  Jesus, suddenly healed me. I was able to see. Praise to God, that he touched me and set me free.

I had an eye appointment on Monday, they were going to do an eye procedure and I passed my eye test and the eye Doctor was going to drain the blood in the back of my eye and drain the fluid from my eye.  My eyes were numed from the eye drops and she looked into eye scope and was looking into the back of my eye and she said "I am not seeing what I saw in the last eye examaination. I was truly healed! I am so glad that I was suddenly healed by the power of God!
