Open Memoir - August 13 - Time with Rachel And Avi - Precious Memories

 

We must speak out and tell the world that God is Watching! And God WILL Win!

It was a good, but strange day for me. It is just 6:18 PM and I just woke up from a nap, wanting to record the day...

I tried, I really tried, to share with Rachel but failed, to some extent... I told her that I knew that everything would be alright on her test last Thursday... She showed me her baby's shape and I was shocked that her head was so clear to see... She must have thought that I could not identify the child and pointed her out. I told her that I was shocked to see that she was so well defined that it surprised me. She chuckled and agreed that the time of her birth might not have been correct... We'll See...

I wanted to share that I knew that the baby would be alright... So I struggled to talk about having awoke at 1 AM the day before her test to check for a possible heart arrhythmia. I struggled, how do you tell somebody that God had come through His Holy Spirit and touched me, thus touching the ones I prayed about? I know I failed, but, then, that I shared it perhaps might have been enough for this time.... How can you describe His Holy Spirit praying through you in tongues that I could not understand, but that the deepest concerns and worries were pulled from my heart and that His Spirit prayed--spoke those words that no human can possibly speak and know what is being said... I remember telling her that at one point, I felt His Spirit leave my body. That is, his power had been removed from my mind and heart to return to my own words... Even now, somehow I fumble... The magnificence of His oneness with me--available to all of us--if we just allowed our mind and heart to be open to him... Man cannot express that joy that is brought...

We headed into a local store and Avi got between us and took my hand, for the first time, so that we could walk together hand and hand. They were walking faster than I could, so I asked Avi could he slow down a little. Immediately he did, and I praised him for being a such a big boy, now 3, and he, like me, has not yet found the words to say correctly, but he talks and talks. At one point, I answered, he said, no Gabby, Mommy... These two are so precious to me... Rachel has been my caretaker over the many months. Today, she didn't want to take the money I offered and said, I didn't do anything for you... I pulled her close and pressed money into her hand and whispered. Yes, you did, you gave me yourself today!

I wish I would have taken pictures today of Avi. His hair is longer and his baby fat is gone... Very active and at one point I heard him say Baby, as we were talking...so I know he is aware that a little sister is coming... Brandon, Rachel's brother was close to her, so I know that she's looking toward that type of bonding for her children. He recognizes why I use a cane for and he brings it to me, offering his little hand to help me into the house. I ask him to help me to take the big step in and he goes in before me and reaches to take my hand... Yes, he will be a loving, caring child... Just as his mother is...

I started to read a new book. It received a Pulitzer Prize for literature. Yet, it has been designated for banning!!! I'm just beginning to read and, though the author and Velshi on his Banned Book program, couldn't figure out why... I'm only a few pages in and I already know why... Those who proclaim to be christian nationalists don't want to have people know what happened when Hitler tried to strike out against his perceived enemies... They are fighting what they think to be a "holy" war to have everybody who do not support their religion which calls for violence, war and hate against all who do not support whatever their perverted minds are trying to bring about, do not want evidence that history shows that this type of rebellion is NOT of God who made all of us--black, brown, red, yellow...and, yes, white...


Time to go take my evening pills... Thank you, Lord, for being with all of those who seek your Joy, Your Truth... And may those who have been pulled away from that Joy have it be rekindled!


Jesus is Alive, Waiting for YOU?

Fighting Power... Open Memoir

Recently, I got up, did the routine of feeding my cats first, and then turned on the 10PM news from the previous night. I normally start reading around 5PM most days and, if a book is really good or close to ending, I may continue to read on until I give that latest read a ranking which is sent to GoodReads and Amazon... I was, as so many others were, devastated to learn of more children being killed or hurt at a school... I am, I now admit it, in deep depression during which I can be triggered constantly by outside actions... How can we continue to claim to be a land of the free when children are murdered by those who are allowed to have guns to enter schools and shoot! And the very next report shows a man attacked on the street by ICE, taken to the ground and beaten by at least 4 men! This is not the exact video from that program, but it occurs so frequently that it always shows the exact image--a lone man, or woman, being attacked violently by men wearing masks, sometimes with no id...

Continue the Statement Across the World - This is NOT My President: Not My Beliefs, Not My Values, Not My Voice

  I will not be drawn into debate over this post. I am aware of the arguments of people who disagree with the statements below. I am posting this for all those who may be living in fear in this moment so you know you are not alone. I want to share this piece in solidarity: This is where I stand. The 45/47th President, his power hungry cronies taking positions of authority in his Cabinet and administration, and the majority of Republicans in Congress are a real and active threat to me, my way of life, and all or most of the people I love. Some people are saying that we should give Trump a chance, that we should "work together" with him because he won the election and he is "everyone's president." This is my response: •I will not forget how badly he and so many others treated former President Barack Obama for 8 years and Biden cleaning up his mess...lies about his legitimacy and hatred for his principles and his attempts to work within the system. •I will not ...

What a Difference a Day Makes... Where Is the World Headed? Revival Versus War??? - Open Memoir

  Losing the time from nearly 2 weeks based upon an accidental fall, which requires pain medication to easily read and even sleep left me in shock when I got up, turned on the television and heard that Another bombing had been initiated by the president (and Israel).... against Iran... OMG!  Got up to feed my cats and a song came to mind... What a difference a day makes...24 little hours... And I stopped... What is going on?! One insane man is being allowed to commit destruction all over the world! How and Why has this happened... From what a difference, my mind immediately turned to War! What is it Good For?! Why is day-to-day decisions being made without early discussion and planning. Has the entire Republican Party gone crazy? I want to reach out, try to find somebody to talk to... commiserate on the destruction, the danger of those now serving in the military--especially as Trump announces that there could be some of our men who will be killed.  Even this is crazy. Ho...
