GOD has such a sense of humor!
When I wasa child no one ever wanted to play with me because of being born dead and recesitated..
I was not like other children!
I did not learn my name without forgetting it until 5th grade and I repeated the 4th! I could not tie my own shoes until I began 6th grade ... when I was the age of a 7th grader!
So since I was never accepted by the other little girls in ST Mathias Kindergarten and first grade... in Cental City New Orleans, Louisiana....
I used to break THE CARDINAL LAW of the school and leave the BIG ROOM... where the girls played 4 times a day and were forbiden to leave...
FOUR times a day I dodged, basket balls, footballs and all sorts of UFO's sprinting accross the black top where the boys were to play and were also under the same CARDINAL LAW of confinement! We could not exit... they could not enter THE BIG ROOM which as an adult today I know was a gynasium!
I would dodge those missles of all kinds and enter the Church 4 times a day! Four times a day I sought My Father's Face crying out for HIS LOVE and GRACE!
It was then that HE Himself would teach me what I was not capable of learning from human beings regardless how good intentioned they were or were not!
GOD HIMSELF told me over and over since I was a toddler...
ONE DAY STEPHANADA THE WHOLE WORLD WILL WANT TO KNOW YOU AND BE LIKE YOU!
I must explain how BIZZARE that was to me my entire life as GOD has said so many similar things to me...
Always when my heart was in pain because no one received my love and returned it genuinely!
But now here in North Carolina where GOD has placed us for these final days and hours...
Folks whom we have tried to love for a years time.... Folks who have scoffed us, gossipped....
Running their mouths non stop about nothing else... hoping to eject us from the community..
or cause us to leave on our own....
These folks are trying to copy our look... our outer appearences and way of dress!
These same folks... lets begin with the Women's Guild who have snickered and criticized my style since attending their meeting for the very first time.... April 2009...
Last week many of these women called into a room where my husband and I were chatting with one of our priests... telling Fr Oscar that Oscar was my husband'sfather's first name and how he came over alone at age 19 on the LUCITANIA in 1911 and had considered waiting another year for the TITANIC!
These cackly old hens who never wanted me as part of their clickety click group...
Pressed into our fun with Fr Oscar GET THIS... To EXAMINE My flowers I was wearing that I crocheted myself, they Claudia and Ann both with many other hens behind them were counting my stitches.... she even boldly asked for my pattern!
I told them that I have never used a patern for anything in my life regardless whether I am crocheting, doing embroidery or any kind of craft or work.
THAT GOD HIMSELF creates through me each peiceand that I could not copy or reproduce anything even if I wanted to!
I said... I"I will have my crochet and quilts in the DOWNTOWN CONCORD ART WALK this Friday April 23, 2010 6-9 pm! I will have many many flowers and free hand free-motion embroidered quilts for sale!
That Claudia boldly said: "I have plenty of yarn I will make them myself.. and will never buy them!"
I really had to take a hold of myself to keep from laughing so hard I might fall down!
For again GOD REMINDED ME of HIS WORD in my childhood through my youth...
as she spoke those words...
GOD SAID: "I TOLD YOU THEY'LL ALL WANT TO KNOW YOU AND BE LIKE YOU....
BUT YOU THEY CAN NEVER EVEN BE LIKE... MUCH LESS BE!
THEIR HARDENED HEARTS NOT EVEN I CAN PENETRATE.... LOVE? THEY CANNOT!
So GOD has a sense of humor for sure! Now the Fakey Flakey Cackly Hens are trying to clothe their sin, their haughty attitudes by trying to dress like me....
NOTHING COULD BE FUNNIER!
I LOVE YOU LORD And PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS, LOVE AND TRUTH!
Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!
EstherStephanada!
