Appreciation & Gratitude: Thank you, God, for our marriage of 22 years today! Thank you for blessing our marriage. Thank you so much for our health, love, faith, hope, tenacity, your love and unfathomable divine mercy. Thank you for family! Thank you for the food we eat, the jobs we have, the home we have, clothes we wear, the fact that we live in safe community full of wonderful and talented people, the University and all that that does to enrich our lives, air conditioning, the lake behind our home, sunsets, technology, garageband, music and my musical instruments, clean water in abundance, your will being done on Earth as it is in Heaven, and thank you, God, that you haven’t given up on us. Thank you for your love!

 Q1- Dad, thank you for a great weekend so far. You make all things new. I love you. Could you tell me about your plans for my life? I want to hear it again… tell me more?

*** You will soon know that all these thoughts are true for you. I will make all things new. You are my soldier-daughter and I will equip and empower you to complete your assignment. I will invest in your dreams… why wouldn’t I? I am the one that has put these dreams in your heart- ever since you were a little girl. Don’t you remember the lottery win when you were 5? Well, I still want you to share some of it with your sister… same as way back when. Only this time, it will help change many lives. You will always have what you need to accomplish our plans. Thank you for saying “yes”. It will be fun, it will be wild, and it will be difficult at times. But, in all things do it with joy. You are my heart. I love you.

Q2-Jesus, I love you! Do you have any suggestions of what I could do for my dad’s birthday?

*** Make him a song, card, and get him a gift card and a book. He really likes your songs. Write a poem and recite it to music. He will love that.

Q3- Love, would you help me organize my life and time management? I have been very lazy these last couple of days. I am ready to kick it back into high gear. It was a nice and much needed break from my over packed schedule. What would you like me to prioritize into my schedule? (Besides of course, the Board Meetings!)

*** Read time management book, I will show you what I most want to show you here. You will have much more available time soon. So soon, Mar! Enjoy the ride. You will have funds for starting EPP and you will be able to close your current Business. It is finally time. Ok? {YES, please!!! I receive it! Amen!}

Q4– Momma, How I loves ya! What would you suggest I do while I am in limbo? I am waiting to win and start the next chapter! What should I do to prepare? I know I want to make songs… and lots of them. What else should I work on?

*** manage the illness, sleep, plenty of rest, time with God in quiet, make songs, enjoy life. It is so good, isn’t it? {YES!}

Closing Comments & Petitions:   Father, I know that Jesus defeated the death and the devil. It is finished. However, we here on earth, we are still fighting for the expressed victory of Heaven on Earth. Help me do my part in joining with Christ to defeat the last of the devil’s destruction. Help me help you save souls, and help me share your love with the world. Help me complete my assignment and fight the good fight. I really want to help your Kingdom Come and express this victory for all humankind. I need your help, and I await my marching orders. Amen! Xo ~Mar

Appreciation & Gratitude:

Thank you, God, that even though I have no idea how I will be able to create music that is of any “quality”, I trust that you will see that all is done according to your will. Thank you for the trust I feel and that what you call me to do, you will see that it is done. Thank you that you promised to make up for my lack of talent. Thank you that you have given me a good sense of humor. Thank you that I can laugh at myself and that you give me the thick skin to handle ridicule, sneers, and hatred aimed at me. Thank you that you will allow me to offer up persecution and any difficulties for the redemption of lost souls. Thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for the amazing faith you have given to me. Thank you that you will keep increasing my faith and that you have all things under control and working for my good. Thank you for your unfathomable divine mercy, love and support.

Q1- Dad, I am so glad you are in control. I keep telling myself this. Somehow, it is not with complete trust and I fear that I will let you down. You see, Lord, I cannot sing. I just saw Florence Foster movie, and she could sing better than me… lol! I kept thinking that if I were to sing for a group of people, that they would also laugh. I believe you have good plans in store and that somehow you can use a weak instrument like me as your instrument of peace. Help me find my way in this dilemma. At least I can laugh at myself. I don’t take myself too seriously.

*** I hear you. You should be assured that I have all things under control. You will be my perfect instrument of peace especially because you are a “weak” instrument. That way, everyone will know that it is God who is behind the music, behind the miracles and wonders. Your voice will move people to tears of joy… because I will be with you. I will use you to reach my children. I will be able to show people how much I love them in a personal way and my spirit will cover the whole world. My love will reach all mankind. Your songs will be one avenue that I will use in these times of my love. Don’t worry how, when or if… I have all things under control. The time is soon approaching. It’s a “Go for Illinois”… 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2, blast off… blast off… lol. Just a slight pressure… you’ll be fine. Trust, Mar. Trust. I am trust worthy. I love you. Hang tight. It’s going to be a wild ride.

Q2- Love, I am relying on you for all things. Help me hear you more throughout the day. I do hear you a couple of times a day, but I want more of you. I desire to be in communion with you at all times, at least to be conscious of your presence. What should I do to achieve this goal?

*** Grace. Mar, you need to pray for this grace. It is a gift, but you can make room for it by focusing on my presence throughout the day. Try once every hour to ask me a question. Get into this habit and soon we will be conversing constantly – in connection with whatever is going on. I can help you get through each day with more guidance and support. I would like to make you laugh more, too. You are in such good hands, if you knew how loved you are, you would be floored. Run your race, don’t give up, love, and laugh. Don’t take things so seriously. You will be fine. Know that your prayers are heard and you will grow in this area through effort and grace. Keep praying for more of a connection with God. You are growing in this area, keep up the good work.

Q3- Jesus, I want to sing about you and your love, would you give me ideas for songs? I would like to also be inspired musically. Could you give me chords, melodies, hooks, beats, whatever I need… lyrics… could you guide me when I am recording so that the music lines up quickly and effortlessly. Help me have fun and not worry about it.

*** Yes, can you tell I have been working with you on the songs you have recorded so far? I will guide you, inspire you, help you know what to write. Once you have your recording studio and privacy to practice out loud… you will grow quickly in musical abilities. My Holy Spirit will work in you. You will not worry once Love is working in you more fully. You will be amazed at what you are capable of doing- with Love as your guide. Holy Spirit can’t wait for the release and to see his power released more fully. I promise you, you will not regret for saying “yes”. You may get laughed at in the beginning, but shortly after, you will be amazed at the response you get from people that have seen my powerful healing touch their lives. Your/our music will be like never before heard. There are many surprises in store for you. I would love to tell you all about it, but you will just have to let it unfold. You are very blessed by God. You have been chosen to send out the invitations… it is a fun job to have! Make sure everyone is asked to RSVP to the Eternal Party!!!

Q4-Mom, I have social issues. I get uncomfortable and don’t know what to talk about and say the wrong thing… all the time. I must seem very rude sometimes. I don’t mean to… I just feel a little intimidated around most people. What normally happens, is I say something stupid, or I don’t know what to say, and sometimes, I just turn and walk away abruptly. I have no social graces. I am shy in an odd manner. I know many people think I’m not very nice… I get misunderstood all the time, so it seems. I have a good heart and try to be polite but it many times comes out wrong.

***My advice… don’t worry about it. Speak what is in your heart. If it is not nice, don’t say anything. Try to slow down. When you are tired, you are most at risk for the above scenario. So, try not to go out when you are tired or if you do go out, come home when you start to get tired. It takes a lot of energy to be around other people and converse. Mistakes happen in those instances. Right? So, be rested. Next, pray about what to say. Ask Love, Holy Spirit, to help you and to give you the right words. Mostly though, don’t worry about it. When people know you, they will find out that you have a beautiful heart. You worry so much about this, it makes things more difficult. Slow down. Take it easy. Say what is in your heart. You’ll be fine. You are a lovely person. Try to do more works of mercy to help others, and you will see that it gets easier -the kinder you are to people.

 Actions Requested:

Time is quickly approaching… God is trust worthy. Have faith. Hang on!

Make sure everyone is invited to RSVP to the Eternal Party!

Don’t worry so much.

Do more Works of Mercy.

Be Kind, always. Don’t speak anything negative about others.

Q1- Who really cares about all the fluff on the screen? It goes in one ear and then within a few days, forgotten. TMI. Too Much Information. What would you like me to focus on? Is all this time spent in front of the screen yelling at the television a waste? What do you think, Dad?

*** Haha, that’s funny because I’ve been yelling at your tv right along with you all these years! It’s criminal what is going on in the world. So much political personal gain from money changing hands, favors for money, secret deals and all the lies that go along with it. It is time for someone to flip the whole lot of them upside down and shake them to their senses. It is good to stay informed, but try not to get sucked into too many hours of your life in a waste. You will never get those hours back and we don’t have much time to kill. I have better plans for your life than hollering at the tv all night. Lol. If you want to watch tv, try to at least get as much time equalized from news to something funny or educational. Yes, please limit your news watching. When you do watch, please infuse that time with prayers for each and every situation you see. Let the news be your prayer prompt. Pray for them on the spot, while you are watching the stories. There is so much pain and hurt in the world. Your prayers may not seem like much, but they could make a huge difference in people’s lives. It will bless you in return. I promise.

Q2- Mother, would you please bless DB with good health and give me the grace to be a better wife. Pray for our marriage. Pray for me to not be worried about him being “evil” or that he will put a “hex” on me or injure my health somehow… all this paranoia is killing me. I am so sad when I have to tell him not to touch my arm or whatever prompts the paranoia. It is so hard and I ask that you please bless DB for putting up with me and my issues. Please bless our marriage!

*** I am always at work with you and DB. I have your marriage “front and center” on my mind in prayer for you. Everything will be ok. It will all work out. This too, shall pass. I will watch over you and protect you, guide you in loving him and help you find ways to love him like no one ever could. You will see a change soon. Hang in there! Help is on its way. You are safe with him and you are very much loved by him.   You are very blessed. Your marriage is so strong. You two have been through so much together. It will get easier very soon. We love you and are with you always.

Q3-Love, Holy Spirit, I need you more now than ever. I don’t know what to do with myself. I am in limbo of some sort and I feel like I could be doing so much more. I have been so tired this week. I slept 18 hours straight 2 nights ago and got tons of sleep last night… I am so drained and weary. I feel like I can’t go on. I feel like there is so much to do and I don’t know where to start. I just want to rest. So, I took this afternoon off and I am hoping to be back to my energetic self tomorrow. Could you help me with this energy problem?

*** Mar… oh Mar… you needed that rest! You have an extreme weekend ahead and you will need your energy for that or I should say that your brain needed the rest. It is advance planning of your sanity and the strength of your management of the reality of a wild weekend ahead. That is all I can say. Only know that tomorrow is Friday and we have much in store for you very soon! Wink, wink. Get your sleep, it is key to the process working. Just fit in whatever you can when you feel up for it. Board meetings are top priority… we love you!

Q4- Jesus, I only want to tell you one thing… YOU ROCK! You are my rock, you rock, and I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

***lol, you are a funny one… I luvz ya, TOO! We are going to have so much fun… just a little while longer, you will soon see all things will become as brand new.   I can’t wait for the new chapter, the new day… to begin. I am the one that put all these dreams into your heart. I will see that they all come true, all that your imagination has dreamt and so much more. More than you could ever imagine. It will be better than you could ever imagine… and it will all start very soon. I’m not kidding! Truly. I don’t lie. You’re laughing… I know. You have heard this before… you think it’s your imagination filling your mind with all these words… mark. My. Words. SOON…Mar… soon. Thank you for waiting all these years. They’ve gone by quickly, though, didn’t they? Lol, ok maybe not so quick. But it will be worth the wait, struggle, and effort. Hang in there!

 Actions Requested:

When I watch the news, look for “prayer prompts” and pray for them as needed.

Mother Mary is praying for my marriage.

Get sleep, my brain needs it. Manage the illness.

Hang in there… Soon… soon.

Q1- I am very tired, so I think what I will do today is ask one question and then let anyone here comment/answer the question. Ok?   Ok, here it is…

Is it time yet? This is what I would like mostly to know. Do I have another 8 years of waiting? 5 more years? 3 or 2 years? 6 months? 3 months? Or maybe 3 weeks? Or maybe only 4 hours… tonight’s drawing? The reason I ask… it is not because I don’t trust you. I trust in you completely. I trust that you have all things lining up beautifully. I just would like to humbly ask you the timeframe so I can plan my life and know what needs to get done. I have wrapped my brain around winning. I am prepared. After blessing our families and charity and paying for our new home/studio, I would get a personal banker to put the rest into safe keeping with a 1 or 2% interest rate and live off the interest monthly. I would be able to actually have time to do all the things you have been asking me to do. I would build a studio/home with a workout room and a tennis court. EPP would become a reality and I could have it properly formed with the help of professionals. I am doing my best, but I am so tired and have difficulty getting everything done each day. I just thought if you could give me an idea, I would be able to plan my life better. I know you probably can’t give me specifics. That’s ok. How about an estimate of a timeframe of the next chapter to begin?

*** Ok, Dad here- you have a lot of this planned out. That is good. I like a faithful soldier and a trusting soul. Even though I have been telling you that you will win… and then when you didn’t win, you kept smiling and believing. Even when it was difficult to deal with the letdown, all the energy you’ve put into this… you still went to Indiana to get your tickets and put them into your safe deposit box. That shows tenacity, faith, hope, trust, and dedication to your mission. I know it always embarrassed you when you would talk about this to your doctor or psychologist, or even your spiritual director. It seems odd that God would ask you to buy lottery tickets. That’s ok… I’m odd. Lol. You kept playing even though you knew it didn’t make sense. You felt in your heart that this is what I was asking you to do. Well, Mar, you are very close to winning. Maybe tonight, or in the next couple of weeks. The battle is tough and I know you’ve been beaten up quite a bit.   I will make all things new. Not just for you, but for all of my children. The time is now for a change of management! Hold on. Get ready for your dreams to appear in your reality… you are so close. I love you. We all love you-,Mar. Go take a nap and enjoy the ride. We are with you every step of the way. Your mother has been asking me every hour of the day… lol. Yes, you will soon see an answer to your prayers. You will be one powerful key person in the family business of helping us continue our mission of Saving Souls. Thank you for your dedication, love and for never giving up. Hang on. It’s going to be a fun but wild ride.

Actions Requested:

Hang on!

Go take a nap and enjoy the ride…

Q1– Father, God, is it our turn? I seem to remember a phone call about 8 years ago saying that it is “definitely” our turn. I know we decided to go a different route, but I had no idea this would take so long and I still don’t see anything in the natural. I trust you. I know you know what you are doing… I just don’t trust myself. Did I ruin the plans completely, or did we just decide to make due with what I’ve done. I am sorry if I made us late.

***lol, you didn’t “make us late”. I have divine timing, Mar. You worry so much about this and you really should be leaving this up to me. Trust me. You are my living enterprise, and I cannot fail! Please take it easy on yourself. Your new chapter is just around the corner. Believe me, we are just as excited to start this music as you are. I am lining up all things for ShamRock Studios. M will help you design and equip it so it will become a place for many artists (famous and also not-so famous) to come record with you and DB. It will be an amazing studio and I will fund you for this. I will invest in EPP. You will be an instrument of my peace. And, we are just as excited as you, if not even more excited because we know all the incredible things that will be accomplished through our work together. The music recorded here will bring millions to rethink their eternal strategies, and decide to come home. It will be a beautiful thing. Millions will be touched by God’s love, miracle, signs and wonders. Thank you for saying “yes”.

Q2- Jesus, is it our turn? I remember the infant Jesus called me and said: “It’s definitely our turn.” Can you ask daddy what more needs to be done before we win the investment funds? I am sorry if I let you down. I am really doing my best. What can I do differently to get better results?

*** Mar, you are exactly where you need to be. Everything is unfolding as it should. Have faith. Maybe this week you will get to start the new chapter… new day. Maybe next month will be your turn… maybe next year. It really doesn’t matter because God is in control. Father knows exactly what needs to happen for all these plans to work. The only thing you need to do is trust in me. God’s will – it will be done. He has impeccable timing and his plans are better than anything you could ever dream of. Smile. It’s going to be beautiful. So, what you can do differently? Just keep the faith, march onward and trust in God for all things. He has you in the palm of his hand. He won’t drop you. Lol.

Q3- Love, thank you for helping me write and record the song for my dad. Could you help me write a song for DB? Our 22^nd anniversary is coming up Saturday. I can’t believe it, but it’s true! I’m so blessed. Thank you for your help and for blessing our marriage. I’d like to gift him with a song… and chocolate. Lol!

*** sure, I will help you. Tomorrow after work, it’s a date… you and me; we will have fun! Enjoy the process. Write down any ideas you come up with and we will go from there. I have some ideas and will share them with you.

Q4- Mom, thank you for interceding for me. I can tell you have been really pressing in prayer to the Father for my requests. Please continue to pray for my dad’s leg, circulation improvements, a healthy strong heart, clear eyes, supernatural weight loss and miraculously growing younger every minute of the day… in Jesus’ name I pray… for my dad today. Thank you!

*** Yes, I have all this and more all lined up and offering your requests to the foot of the cross for the Father’s intervention. I am praying for your needs, also. I know that many things will be soon coming around… you will feel the change. It will be powerful. Yes, Jesus did heal your eyes- that was not your imagination. Look. 99% of the floaters are gone, are they not? Yes, you will see many miracles happen in your life. Your prayers are powerful. Get to reconciliation this week, if possible. That will make your prayers even MORE powerful. God loves a clean heart. You’ve sworn about 5x, that needs to be washed away. (And also a few other items you should repent of… ) You have many wonderful miracles lining up for you in song… don’t be afraid to sing for miracles. Maybe a fun investment/lottery song for EPP? J

 Actions Requested:

It will be an amazing studio… keep believing for it!

God has me in the palm of his hand; He won’t drop me!

Tomorrow Love will help me write a song for DB’s anniversary gift.

Get to reconciliation this week.

Q1- Jesus, I am so tired. I need to get a lot done and don’t seem to have the energy lately for it all.

*** Go to bed early tonight, Mar. You are a little short of sleep since you pulled the all night recording session on Saturday. You are also getting used to exercising again; your body needs to recover. Try to work out every other day so you can have some time to heal.   If you feel sore, don’t push it, you don’t want to injure yourself. Take it easy and get lots of sleep.   You are fighting the start of a cold, so nip it in the bud and take care of yourself.

Q2- Dad, the low lying clouds are moving quickly past my window. It is so gorgeous! I am mesmerized by your creations. Thank you for all the beauty you put into the world. The world is an incredible work of art. You amaze me endlessly.

*** Thank you! If only you knew how beautiful it was in the time of Adam and Eve. One day you will see it restored. My home will be your home and it will be something you could never wrap your brain around if you tried. You just have to see it to believe it. The garden will be restored. You will live there with me and all our family… the entire body of Christ will be your neighbors, your friends, your family. I will be there, Jesus and Mary… one big family is what you will enjoy… eternally.  

Q3– Mom, could you please intercede for me for my dad again? This time, we need a real miracle… and that is that he will take care of his leg by putting it up (above his heart) on some pillows and rest to heal it! I am a little upset that he is so hard to convince of this necessity for his healing.

*** I will pray with you on this one. Go over and visit with him, check that he is doing this… maybe get a bargain with him to do it every other hour? I will pray for his healing. He really liked your song… it cheered him up. Keep praying and singing your song… it is working!

Q4-Love, thank you for helping me record the song for dad’s leg! It was so much fun to create and really helped my dad’s spirits, if not also his leg, too! Could you help me with a creation for DB – for our anniversary coming up?

*** Yes, I would love to make a song with you. I will be giving you some ideas in the next couple of days. Just jot down the suggestions and roll with it. You have 5 days to get it together! Don’t forget to buy him some flowers/plant for his office. Make a poem for his card, too. Oh, and don’t forget the chocolates! J

 Actions Requested:

Go to bed early, take care of myself.

Keep praying and singing for dad’s health.

Poem, card, song, chocolates, plant/flowers: anniversary gifts

 Closing Comments & Petitions: Thank you for your friendship and your love. Thank you for your prayers. I hope that we have many more great conversations, but I really can’t wait to talk with you all face to face! I long to look into your eyes, see your smiling faces and give you all a big HUG!   I love you! Please watch over my sponsor children, my nieces and nephews, all my family and friends. Give us all love, laughter, peace, good health, joy, and hope for your Kingdom Come! Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven… and that means a Party with you Eternally! Coming home party! Woot, Woot!!!   I love you! Amen! Xo ~Mar

Q1- Abba, is my dad going to be ok? Will his leg heal up and will you give him supernatural weight loss and life for many more years? (Like forever-life?) I know it sounds like I am joking, but I truly would like him to never leave from me and our family. We need him. What can I pray for this for him… for us? Is it a waste of my energy?

***Prayer is never a waste of energy. I can’t promise you that he will never die, but he will always be with you in spirit. He will live on eternally in heaven and you will always have him with you, he and also all of your family and friends. He will be ok. Keep praying for his leg to heal. He really liked the song you made for him… the healing prayer song is more powerful than you know. Prayers that are sung and more powerful than other forms of prayer. All prayer is good, but music will heal the world and share God’s love to all people. You are on the right track. Make more songs! We love the songs you record, and laugh with you and when you cry, we feel very sad for you. Hang in there. Keep smiling and we are glad you had such a fun weekend. Don’t worry about the video that was taken last night. (at Mabel’s) You will be glad you went when you see the movie… you will know that you had nothing to worry about. It was somewhat of a historic event in your town. You will be glad you didn’t skip it.

Q2- Jesus, thank you for healing me in so many ways: Mentally, physically and spiritually! You have done an amazing job in my life, making all things new. How can I thank you? My Lord, you are amazing! Please help me continue to grow and improve… I have so far to go.

*** You are welcome, but you have no idea of all that I can do for you even in addition to your progress. You are a fighter and have worked hard on your end. I know you want to do so much more and grow so much more. I will help you every step of the way! Ask me, I will be there to help. I hear your prayers for the issues you struggle with in your life and your prayers for your family, friends, and even your prayers for the world. It may seem like I am not doing all I can, just know that all things will come in its divine order. All things are laid out in eternal time. I know you are growing in patience. This is one of the bonus outcomes in this process.  Keep trusting in me. Keep your faith strong. Never give up hope. We love you!

Q3-Love, you are the fire that burns in my heart… please enkindle this fire of your love and set me ablaze in your Mighty and Divine Love. Make me a diamond that under this pressure becomes something beautiful in God’s eyes.

*** I will enkindle the fire I have for you. You will not be afraid to shine. You will not be afraid to shout your praises to God and with Pride, you will share God’s Love that He has for the world, you will courageously help many find their way home. Remember your dreams, march forward in faith. I will be with you. I will burn in your heart and the fire will grow stronger each day! Keep your eye on the prize: Eternal Party People… come home for the banquet! Send out the invitations… we need all the kids to come to the party. Make sure they RSVP to the Eternal Party… lol. We can’t wait! I will enkindle the fire in your heart. You will need every last bit of my Love for the mission/assignment we are giving you. You will be persecuted, but just be glad that you are counted worthy of suffering with Jesus. Your treasure in heaven will be pure joy for eternity with your spouse, the Lord. It will be difficult, but sweet with the accomplishment of doing the Father’s will. I will be with you every step of the way.

Q4-Momma, thank you for saying “yes” to your part in the world’s redemption. It must have been scary for you at such a young age and being unmarried, to become pregnant. You didn’t know all that you would have to go through, but you were brave. Help me be brave in my assignment. I say “yes” in part by following your example of trusting God. What advice can you give to me that will help me when it looks like things aren’t going well, but I have to keep going in faith… I see nothing happening in the “natural” but believe (and have believed for decades) that I have something important to do. I feel sometimes that it must be my illness/grandiose thoughts and crazy ideas.

***My advice to you is: one day at a time. Don’t try to figure out what is going to happen next week, next month, next year, or next 50 years… God’s timing is impeccable and you need to trust that when things don’t look like they’re moving, know that He has ALL things under control. He is a big GOD, lacking in nothing. He doesn’t lack anything that you may be questioning right now. He knows that you feel like you are getting old and that you think he may be forgetting that you are on earthly time! Have faith, and keep smiling and keep recording short prayer songs. They are powerful. Maybe you could do a prayer song for DB. Ask him what 3 things he would like prayer for and then make a song for him! It will be a lot of fun for you, and he would really enjoy it. Or, you could surprise him with a funny song with some prayer intentions that you think of w/o asking him beforehand.  My advice to you is to do things that make you happy, and this is one area that you love doing. You have fu

n with it and it is a beautiful present to give to people. You could make a song for an anniversary present to DB! I would love to help you with it.

 Actions Requested:

Keep praying for Dad’s leg.

Keep my faith in Jesus. Keep my faith strong. Never give up hope.

Love will enkindle the fire in my heart!

Remember my dreams and march forward in faith.

Make an anniversary song for DB anniversary present.

Appreciation & Gratitude. Thank you, God, for getting me out of my funk from yesterday. Thank you for all the many blessings you give me each day. Thank you for the working air conditioner this summer! Thank you for music! Thank you for friends and family. Thank you for health, love and laughter! Thank you, dear and wonderful Father, for WEEKENDS! I am so excited to have another beautiful weekend. Thank you for being my dad and for your love.

Q1- Holy Spirit, my good friend, thank you for your help with your guidance, love and support. Thank you for your sense of humor and for putting up with me. I know I’m not easy to live with!

*** lol, if you only knew what I put up with, you would never have said that! I enjoy being your partner and love to help you, guide you and laugh with you. I really enjoy your company and only wish that you would think of me more throughout the day. Look within and ask me questions, make random comments that include me in your thought process and your daily schedule. I can help you so much more than I am right now, if only you would ask for it and include me more. Ok? I love to be more involved with the lives of people that invite me into their heart. I have so much to offer. Thank you for starting your day with me and for ending each night with prayers to God. I love every minute between those two times!  

Q2- Dad, thank you for your patience. Help me be more patient. Help me become who you want me to be… I want that for myself more than anything. I know I fail miserably in that endeavor. With God, all things are possible… so, please help me by equipping and empowering me to become who you want me to be. I need to improve in many areas. Where should I start?

*** We always ask you the same thing whenever you ask that question. I want you to relearn how to relax, laugh and have fun in your day to day routine. I can make it unique and fun for you, even while you are working. Just smile more and you will help relearn this skill. The loving laughter skill is where we want you to start improving and focusing. Why is that so difficult for you? I know. You are so serious. You want to be a good soldier and do your part. You don’t want to fail in any “tests”, etc. Well, I have one thing to tell you: Forget about all that! Just have fun! Ok? So, surround yourself with people that are easy going and like to have fun. This is imperative. Yes, I said “Imperative”… lol, I really do mean this, Mar. It is vital that you have fun… no pressure. Just go enjoy yourself. The test is this weekend! So, it’s on! You have to laugh and smile and then report back to me on Monday and tell me how much fun you had!   Lol!

Q3-  Jesus, will you help me make decisions each minute of the day, so I keep focused and follow your will for my life? I know Love is my guide… Holy Spirit is my captain. This ship seems to be sinking sometimes! Help!

*** lol, you’re not sinking… you are just going for a refreshing swim in the ocean of my love. Haha! I am with you. Never fear, your redeemer is near! Lol. We are working with you and will never let you down. When it appears that you are alone, that is when I am carrying you on top of the waters. Together, we will walk this path that God has laid out for you. Don’t feel like you are alone in this. I am holding you up and together we will get to the finish line. We’re going the “Distance”… just like the song (Cake) sings…. We’re going for speed… but you’re NOT alone… not all alone… in your time of need. J I like that song, too.   How I lovz ya!

 Actions Requested:

#1: Have FUN!

#2: Have more FUN!

#3: Then go out and have some more fun!

Don’t be so serious! I am with you. You are not alone!

 Closing Comments & Petitions:

Ok, I get the point here. Thank you! I am pretty sure I remember how to have fun! I’ve got my marching orders… I’m on it! Thank you, I love you! Please heal my Dad’s leg and for RF, and his healing, also. For all the people on m prayer list, and for all those in need of your help today. I pray with them in spirit. Amen! XO~Mar

Q1- Mom, you told me that I should be offering up this turmoil I am going through. This emotional pain I am going through, the illness symptoms of grandiose thoughts and the fear of failing you, are something I should be offering up for the body of Christ. Thank you for reminding me.

*** You are welcome. I really want you to know that all the troubles that you are going through are powerful in healing the body/the church. I will mediate the offerings and a grace from God will be added to your efforts. Thank you for being so dedicated to our cause and for your efforts in helping us save souls. It is true that we like to work through people, but you need to know that you are not responsible for saving other people. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. God has all things working for the redemption of his children. You should have a reminder, say 10 times a day: “I can’t do this, but you can. I’m giving you the wheel. Help me get to where I need to be. Make me your instrument of your peace.”

Q2- Abba, Father, help me get out of this sadness and fear. I know it is not of you, but of the enemy. St. Michael, the Archangel, defend me in battle. Be my protection from the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, I humbly pray. And, do thou Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl the world searching the ruin of souls.

***Satan is accusing you and beating you up with the doubts, sadness and fear. St. Michael is with you. You only need to change your mind about this situation. Say: I am a child of God, God is in complete control, and this is not my responsibility… to save people. The only thing I need to do is focus on the good, the light, the love and the laughter. Darkness cannot remain where the light is shining.   Shine your light, love and laugh – the enemy hates that. There is nowhere for him to hide… when the light shines, he will flee.

Focus up. Focus on God and his goodness. Think only of the good and positive things in your life with gratitude; don’t let Lucy win by taking away your love and light. It is simply a choice. Turn the channel- so to speak. Decide right now to not go to this place of doubts and fear. I am in control, me, your Almighty Father! Don’t you think I can get you to where you need to be? You could never ruin my plans… you don’t have that much power, dear Mar, Lol. Relax and enjoy the journey. All things will be revealed. Don’t get lost in the despair. You are good at compartmentalizing. Put this behind you and don’t look back. Make some music and get lost in the joy of each day’s new beginning. I am with you always. Never fear. God is here. J

Q3- Jesus, thank you for defeating the devil when you conquered death itself on the cross. If there is anything I need to do, please make it very clear so that I can follow through and do it. Don’t let me get off the path or distracted. What should I be focusing on this week?

*** You should focus on having fun. Plan some “artist dates” and go on a few trips to do something you love doing this weekend when DB is playing tennis. Café, movie, thrift shopping, read some of your blogging books or the WordPress book. Mainly, relax and enjoy your weekend with no stress. Nothing needs to be done except have a wonderful weekend. Do that, and you will be doing the will of God. See, that’s not a terrible assignment… go have fun! You make everything so difficult. You really need to relax and enjoy yourself. No rushing around. Nothing “NEEDS” to be done- except this one request we have of you… smile. Laugh, love and enjoy yourself. Just “be”. Ok?  

Q4– Love, Holy Spirit, please help me out of this bad habit of putting too much pressure on myself. Help me destress and enjoy the beautiful journey with God.

*** Making the decision to enjoy yourself is half the battle. Now we (you) only need to remind yourself to get out of the bad habit and start living in love and laughter. It is so important. Don’t belittle this request. It is extremely important that you get this one little thing remedied. Don’t stress over anything but will complete faith in God, rest and know that God is in control. You are not God… thank God, right}? {yes! I would have ruined everything if I was the one in control! so, yes, thank you, Father, that you are in complete control and I have nothing to worry about.} Only rest and relax in my love. In that way, you will be able to share that love with others. Don’t let the enemy take that away from you. Live in love, light and laughter. Amen!

 Actions Requested:

God is in complete control.

I can’t save anyone.

Notice the symptoms of the illness and know that:

Only God can do that.. and it is not up to me to save the world.

Enjoy the weekend. Rest and have fun.

God is in complete control of all things.

Rest and relax in God’s love. Live in love, light and laughter!

 Closing Comments & Petitions: Thank you for setting me straight! I know how to rest and relax and I know how to have fun! I can do this! You have completely turned this around for me. Help me remember today’s lesson/board meeting. I don’t know what I would do without you. Thank you for lightening my load. Thank you for your love and the gift of laughter. Amen! XO~Mar

Appreciation & Gratitude: Thank you, God, for showing me the way to go. Even when it seems like I’m lost, I have hope and faith that you will show me the right way to turn. Thank you for getting me out of my funks. You always help pull me up out of the darkness when it comes. Thank you for family. Thank you for my health and for second chances. Thank you that you will show me where to go next. Thank you for comfort and providing me all that I need when I need it. I am truly blessed by your love. Thank you for your promises and your guidance. Thank you that you like that I am expectantly waiting and thank you that you say you like my tenacity. Thank you that one day everything will be clear and all things will unfold as they should. Thank you for sending Jesus to rescue me. Thank you for you incredible love and mercy.

 Q1- Dad, what will happen to me if I give up and don’t play the lottery anymore? What if I forget all this ever happened and stop writing songs, poetry, short stories, board meetings, blog… what if I quit it all? Not that I would ever do that… I am just curious what would happen.

***You have free will. You can do whatever you choose. I know you have a lot of concerns about the work I’m giving you to do. Just know that the rewards are eternal. If you choose to do the work I have for you to do, you will not regret one minute of it. You will have riches stored in heaven for all time eternal. I know it made you sad to write that question… you answered yourself in that instant. You would be sad if you gave up your passion. Why not carve out more time for it and make more creations for the blog… Don’t allow the enemy the satisfaction of tempting you to quit. That would be his greatest accomplishment if he could get you to quit. Don’t let him have that much power over your thinking. Enjoy every minute of this journey. It will be more amazing than you could ever imagine. Enjoy the ride. I know you will.  

Q2- Love, you are amazing, Holy Spirit! I love you and pray that you will equip me and empower me to make something beautiful out of the time I spend creating works of art… when can I start to see you work in me more powerfully?

***When you go out on a limb and put yourself out there. Then you will see me work in powerful ways. Only take the first steps in creating and I will meet you there. I can’t do anything without you first initiating the creations. Look at your calendar and designate at least 1 hour to work with me. Together we will move mountains, but I can’t do it without you. I know you are tired. Maybe we should find a time when you have more energy. Let’s try tomorrow morning before work. Set your alarm for 5am. Ok? Get to sleep soon so you can wake up early.

Q3- Jesus, help me. I feel so lethargic. What’s up with this?

***When you are tired, sleep. When you have energy, create art or do your business work for your clients. Don’t think too much about what needs to get done. Write it down and then try to follow your plan. If you need to move things around because of your scheduling changes or your energy supplies, then go ahead and move it around. Nothing is so urgent that it can’t be moved. Don’t feel guilt over that. Guilt will only drain more of your energy.

Q4- Mom, please help me get back into shape… I want to start exercising regularly again. I really miss feeling good in my body. I have so little energy, where should I start?

***Keep the vegan whole plant food low fat diet. That is healthy and if you exercised more, you would definitely see the weight loss you desire. Go ahead and start up the couch to 10K phone app again and schedule your workouts in your planner. It will cool down soon, so don’t worry. Fall is just around the corner. If you get up early and run before work, you will feel so much better. Try it tomorrow morning. I will help you get out the door… together with God, all things are possible… even this! Lol.

 Actions Requested:

Don’t allow the enemy the satisfaction to see me quit. I would be sad if I gave up my passion.

Take the first steps and the Holy Spirit will meet me there.

Sleep when I am tired. Don’t feel guilty when things don’t get done; only reschedule it.

Start the running App exercise plan.

 Closing Comments & Petitions:  Please help me start up exercise again. I know I will feel better. Please bless my family and friends with good health. Heal my dad’s leg, in Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Please be with RF and provide the healing that he needs.   Please help me create something beautiful. Amen! Xo ~Mar
