Twice God put people in my path for encouragement.

Running in the cold wind and dropping temperatures, I’m thinking this is the last row and it is time to go home. Just as I start to run the row a vehicle pulls up making me wonder what are they doing.

I do keep my eyes open to what is going on around me because a vehicle has followed me in the past.

The day before while I am running, a vehicle drives in and parks behind bushes without me noticing, to hide?

It is in the left side of this picture.

Running past the bushes I am shocked to see the vehicle sitting there. I watch and take pictures because the person is not acting normal like putting flowers on a grave or moving at all. At one point the man gets out of the vehicle as if motioning to someone ahead.

Thankfully my husband brings the dogs so taking Sam I am comfortable to run past the vehicle that sat there for an hour?

Running on snow and ice is time consuming.

This is an icy spot, you can see where a vehicle spun out on ice and I slipped myself.

After changing dogs I notice the vehicle is gone. What was this guy doing there for so long? Was he waiting for me to leave for some reason?

This is why I wonder about vehicles parking as I run.

But today, as I approach the vehicle the door is open. My goal is to figure out how to get around it without stepping into the deep snow, just then she shuts the door for me to get by. The lady and her husband are putting out Christmas decorations at cemeteries.

Starting up a conversation about the weather as I tell her how God has healed me so I am able to run and gain strength. Then life shut it down for a bit, but now my running is returning.

She understands about life because she is about my age. I offer her information about this blog and she is interested. The stupid thing happened when I try to show her the site. My phone updated overnight and it is difficult to figure out how to get off of amazon to justfullofgrace.org as we  stand in the cold wind. Finally it does what is needed and she is able to see it.

Most of the people I talk to who are my age or older don’t have any desire to be on a computer, but she was willing to wait for me to fine it and show her in this freezing wind.

The next thing that happens is while ordering collagen from TBN/Ancient Nutrition I receive a discount of $5 for being the first person to call. The interesting part is I was not watching TBN at the time but looking up the last time I ordered it. So, I just happened to call at the moment they are expecting many to make the call.

It took me a minute to understand what was happening but then I offered to tell the phone clerk about justfullofgrace.org.

He looks it up and says, “It’s in the first place on Google.”

Years ago an older woman tried to find my site and and found a musician, this is why I try to show it to people I am talking to.

Why is this exciting?

Back 40 years ago I realized people I was with had something I didn’t have. I asked God for what they had and He FILLED ME WITH LOVE, JOY, PEACE, AND A DESIRE TO STUDY SCRIPTURE.

After being offered to Satan and being bullied my thoughts were very dark, but God started invading my thoughts with Good God thoughts.

My response has always been to tell everyone about how God filled me; most of my life I have been more like a bull in a china shop, overwhelming people.

But God has been refining me, teaching me how to be softer and not so demanding. I don’t really know how, but somehow people seem to be wanting more instead of pushing me away. It is a good thing.

Just for fun! This is a picture that reminds me of growing up in ND. I love the drifting snow but it does make running a driving more difficult.

God Bless each of us with heat and protection in these cold winter months. 

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD.

For 8 years my Brother-in-law has been telling me,

“Now is the time to start doing videos!”

A few months ago I decided I didn’t need to do videos because I haven’t felt God really giving me the desire. THE NEXT SUNDAY the visiting preacher remembers me and says,

“You need to start doing videos!”

A week ago, while getting my oil changed the 21 year old attendant tells me,

“People my age need to hear what you have to say.

You need take videos and put them on YouTube, just tilt your phone up, take a video of yourself, and upload it to the app on your phone.”

Hearing from many young adults out in the world, I realize it’s time to really take this seriously.

Talking to God about this I am trying to understand how to start.

God says, “Start at the beginning!”

Talking with a mother of a teen for advice.

She says, “No videos over 2 minutes”

Now is the time to talk with the church leaders to see if they are willing to help me learn this craft or if anyone wants to go on this ride with me and Holy Spirit.

God Bless each of us with His LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE DAILY! Amen!

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD!

Driving down Hodges Blvd there are two street lights less than a 1/2 block apart and every time they change, they change together.

This is a road I drive almost every day of our 5 years living here. One day I have a thougth as I am going through the first light.

I hear, “Red light!”

I think, “There is no way it will turn!”

“How did it turn?”

“How did I know it would turn before it turned?”

I do ponder this for weeks before the revelation comes! God Spoke to me as I was driving. I heard God Words in my mind. This is my introduction to knowing God talks to me!

For the longest time I understand it is a God thought because I argue with the thought.

Today, I actively practice Listening for God’s Words!

Sometimes it is an action of crucifying my desire to of what I am doing to obey, for example submit and go prostrate on the floor because I forgot. It is not always a WORD OF GOD but a communication He knows I Understand. God has gotten me out of bed for Prayers and Praise and Submitting.

Often He is answering a question I have asked.

One question was answered 40 years after I asked with a simple,

“YES!”

Many times He has given me UNDERSTANDING  in a WORD packed with information to keep me out of trouble. Other times the WORD was a picture like when I asked God if my daughter was lying to my face. He shows me the lying face of my daughter and she was lying to my face.

I am learning it is better to obey quickly.

Praying daily  “GOD, FILL ME AND MAKE ME WHO YOU NEED ME TO BE!”

“PUT YOUR WORDS IN MY MOUTH AND MEDITATIONS  IN MY HEART, AMEN!”

Ask The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob to teach you how to hear and obey.

Ask Jesus the Son of God to Fill you with Holy Spirit and The LOVE  that will transform your life forever! Amen.

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD!

Today, Saturday, October 25, 2025 became a true day of rest. 

It is a day of laying on the couch, watching TV, and falling asleep a few times.

Today, messing up, I did one thing  that was not following God.

Daily I ask God to guide me as I get my vitamins, but today I decided I wanted 2 pills of this ALA stuff that is suppose to help with nerve pain. God gave me one pill and I had to work to get the second pill out. Two pills is a dose but God was saying one.

It stuck in my throat for a while but finally cleared. Waking up from a nap God pointed out that I was not submitting my flesh!

Matthew 16:24 ESV Jesus told his disciples, if any one would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

I am learning to follow more quickly. Every morning and evening since 2019 God has given me the ability to lay prostrate on the ground. It was a miracle at that moment after spending 40 years bent forward with the rod in my spine, anytime I needed to lay on my abdomen a pillow or two was needed to let my legs hang down and keep that leaning forward form.

The fact that I am able to lay prostrate on the ground flat is a miracle and since then I have submitted every morning and evening saying,

“God fill me and make me who You need me to be!” 

Every once and a while I forget and God reminds me. I have gotten down in the grass outside of a doctor’s office or the church library, to obey.

Working to act more quickly instead of putting it off for a moment until I am ready takes submitting and giving up my will. It becomes easier the more I fall in LOVE with Jesus! Join me in falling in Love with Jesus!

Maybe tomorrow I will talk about the first time I knew it was God and not me in my head. Love You All! God Bless!

God Bless each one of you with The Joy of the LORD Bringing healing to every cell in your body! Amen.

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD

Learning how to respond to thoughts and act on them.

Today, I have the thought of going for a two mile walk after waking, before eating. Bart is pleased to join me in the daylight.

It becomes the most pleasant walk in a long time. We have no need to change directions to bypass dogs or people. An unusual December day blesses us with a warm 40 degrees and sunshine!

Later in the evening Bart suggests, “We should walk to get our 10,000 steps before we relax for the evening.”

As we walk Bart says, “Don’t worry, that’s just my watch saying 10,000 steps!”

I laugh, “My Fitbit is also alerting me to my 10,000 steps this exact moment!”

Five minutes later we both happen to look the same direction as a meteor flashes through the sky.

So tell me, is this how God sets things up?

Things fall into place and Peace fills the space?

Feeling Blessed on December 14, 2023.

Life is so exciting when I follow the urges of Holy Spirit!

There  was no thought of running today because of the pain keeping me on the couch, but after a walk with Bart and a little rest something in me thought try running one mile. As I changed into running clothes Bart said, “Now is the time to go because the sun is setting.”

As I step out the door, all I saw was dark clouds. Oh well, running isn’t all about a sunset.

Turning down the street I see a glimpse of color in between the houses, so my speed picks up to catch whatever color will show up! I am pleasantly surprised. After taking pictures of the sunset I see a friend. I found here in the cemetery remembering her husband about a year ago. Sam and I go to talk with her and ask, “How  are things going, I haven’t seen you since the fall?”

Talking today I find out she has a rod in her spine as long as my rod. I am betting it is a Harrington rod. I know she is in great pain so I pray for her and encourage her to move as much as she is able!

As we are talking the sky turns pink and purple! I am feeling so very Blessed!

Sam was also being a wonderful dog allowing her to pet him with no barks or growls.

It fills me with Joy when I have the ability to stop and talk with someone who needs a smile!

God Bless You with a Day Filled with Joy. Amen!
