Q1-Dad, why does life cost so much? I just had our air conditioner checked for the season and it cost $145! That’s just one “Misc” item in a long list of expenses. We are lucky to make it month to month and I’m wondering why it costs so much? Where could I cut back? We spend about $5500/month on a “good Month” and it just seems like a lot. What are we doing wrong? I am so grateful for our jobs. Thank you that we manage… could we do better?
*** You could cut back in expenses… just look at your bills and try to cut the little things that you could do without. It will add up. Remember this when you hit it big; remember how it feels to struggle and help out your friends when they ask. You will be a blessing to many people and I will use you to do work for me. Many charitable organizations will request your help. Be generous in giving. Freely you will receive… freely you will give. Be glad when you are able to help another. Don’t worry about money running out, I will always bless your efforts. The more you give away, the more you will be blessed.
Q2-Love, tonight we will be going to the practice studio. Could you please sing through me? I’d like to sing in tongues and also write some new song lyrics. I am sorry I haven’t put time into this as I would have liked to.
***Just have fun with it. You can sing the 2 Fleetwood Mac songs also. Bring the lyrics for Stars and have DB play the Punctuation song… mess around with that. Don’t worry about what anyone may think. You’re an original and the world needs your voice. Have not fear. I speak courage over you day in and day out… you will be fierce behind the Mic! Many will want to hear your songs and await your new releases with high expectations… you will not let them down.
Q3-Jesus, when I try to write lyrics or sing something all I can think of is YOU! Help me find the words. Help me say more than I LOVE YOU! (over and over and over and over…) I need to know how to express this love in words that could paint a picture of your greatness in a beautiful way… help!
***it will come together in time. Just give yourself some lyric writing space. You haven’t given yourself time to come up with anything. You imagine that you can just open your mouth and it will all come out miraculously… don’t you? (well, yes… I do) OK, Good! Because that is what is going to be happening. But not just yet. Try to spend time writing and this will help fuel the miracle with courage to begin. No worries, it will all work out well. Just have a good time and enjoy the process. You’re part of this plan… but it is a process, not instantaneous. That would be too much of a jolt to your system. Work towards the goal. Practice. Write. Laugh and love!
Q4-Mom, I love you! Thank you for your prayers along with me at the 3oclock hour. It means a lot to me to know that you are praying with me and interceding with me in all my prayers and each day walking with me; showing me the way and giving me the grace to go on.
*** You’re the daughter I love, how could I not be with you? I love you very much, and I want you to know that I pray with and for you endlessly. You are my main concern right now and I want your success as much as you do, if not more. I want all things to work out for your assignment and your efforts are not overlooked. I will continue to add my prayers along with yours as an offering to the Father each day. All the saints are praying along with us and you should know that your life story is being cheered onward each moment of the day and all throughout your nights. You have endless people in heaven watching with huge smiles on their faces when you triumph over tiny victories they cheer and shout your name. They are keeping track and are praying for all that you need for your assignment to accomplish all that God has for you to do. They know they are on the winning team and are just enjoying watching you fight the good fight. Don’t ever give up. Enjoy the ride. It’s a wild one for sure, but you’ll just have more fun this way… never a boring moment with you. God has you in the palm of his hand. We love you.
