Those who Refuse to Love You & Be Not Blue...Rejected HIS Love First Before Meeting You And Will Always Be Blue!

Some folks sadly refuse to receive love into their hearts regardless if it is you or my William & I reaching out to them.

Whoever or what ever hovers over you trying to steal HIS joy from you...
Will eventually be lost forever in the fires of hell eternally.

The sun of the Son shall shine forever more turning pain anything that makes me or you blue into joy when you & I choose to wear blue without being blue...

For when we have HIM & HE has me & you...

There is absolutely not a thing we must do alone.....we need not be strong...

But let HIM who is in you and in me...who longs to free of from all bondage and pain...

HE yearns to take upon HIS own shoulders all that weighs any and all of you, me, and my Puddin Head Precious William...

But HE is a gentleman who will never force HIS will our desire upon us...

We must reach out to HIM ask in trust and actually give our sorrows, fears....our joys and laughter too...

To HIM...

As St Francis says:  Cast your care upon HIM for HE cares for me and you...

So you and we need not fear but remain free indeed in, with & though HIM the only friend who is forever Faithful and never makes mistakes...

 HE knew long before now that this too would come....

And this too shall pass...

And at last...HE will raise us onto HIS Holy Wings of fire and with great love 

HE shall carry us above and upon these clouds of our circumstance...

It is never up to us do do anything but obey and and follow....

We are called to be believers not achievers...

Obedient followers of HIS leadership...

Not the leaders less we shall slip...
The blind cannot lead the blind...

Only those whose eyes are perpetually on the Lord Himself can lead others to Jesus Christ the Savior of all...

Less he shall fall and go down into pits laid as traps for us....or even traps and prisons of our own making.

And the fact that we are not responsible for finding our own way....

But following Jesus who is the only Way, Truth and Life...
It is this very fact that gives us freedom...

For whatever or whoever that foils our plans....happens so that HIS commands have the opportunity to trample the enemy again and again Amen!

William's hernia far worse needs surgery...surgical consult scheduled for Wednesday at hospital surgical office where his outside VA oncologist is.

William is believing God, praying for a MIRACULOUS healing of both tumor and hernia that he not have to undergo the hernia surgery.

I keep saying he must keep Wednesday's appointment since even when God heals...one must go to the doctor to confirm the MIRACLE or risk losing the MIRACLE.

I am still washing everything by hand and packing our van with most all of our belongings....except for our mattress so that if the evil one continues to illegally enter there will be nothing of value for them to steal....

God's Word promises to give us a minimum of 7 times what every locust every locust ever steals....

Though we cannot be foolish leaving papers with personal information whether medical, social Security....whatever...for the Satan God has made us aware of to pick up.

Preparing to embrace tent camping still again on November 30, 2013.

William needs help in the bathroom, dressing etc....not because of the tumor which is improved...but the hernia which he would not have had he allowed me to do our lifting and carrying on Art Stroll Day October 5, 2013.

Each of you....each of you are so so precious....precious... precious!

Whether you are among the few here in the United States who have chosen to receive our hearts within yours...or if you are among  the many in different parts of Europe, Asia... India and Africa...or upon islands...anywhere around this earth who have loved us for years over the Internet...

Or maybe you are finding us for the first time and so I invite you to join my blogs by using Friend Connect and sending each other gifts through Postal Mail...you can send yours to the                  PO Box Address bellow.

Love & Blessings to you!

Lets never get discouraged but instead encourage one another...our sisters and brothers...

Let us never compete with our friend, sister or brother...

But instead seek to assist our friend along his our her journey...

Making our own journeys a shared journey...

For it is not about getting to a finish line first...

But making certain that we go through the narrow gates with care together that not one trips without being lifted up and carried upon our shoulders...

For we are to be imitators of HIM Jesus Christ.

We are not to be seeking to be the first to finish...but to bring with us many souls along with us who also cross the finish line safely & securely through the narrow gate to salvation in heaven forever together forever.

Let not one be lost....imitate HIM HE already paid the cost that you and I need not be the best...but the last to cross the finish line after making certain that each one whom HE has given us...placed on our path needy of friendship, love, compassion or any good physical or spiritual thing...

Sing Sing Sing....New songs of joy & thanksgiving and all living will therefore be full filling our hearts and HIS plans for all to eternity.

Amen Amen Amen....dear friends!

All mail sent to Ponchatoula is already being forwarded to Madisonville address bellow even though we are not in the park till the 30th of November and this is because our Ponchatoula PO Box expired on October 31, 2013.

Soon and very soon...the sheep and goats will be separated....
The sheep will be led into heaven eternally with God Almighty....but the goats banned to fires of hell for the same eternity...

So be certain to remove the word "kid or kids" from your vocabulary that your sons and daughters do not become a goat and be lost forever.

For everyone becomes what they are called and your purposeful choice to call each by their holy names and never use slang will create a greater ability for each to live as they were created to...
And therefore not lose Heaven with Our Father!

Children of Saint Joseph...Sons & Daughters Everywhere...

How can you know HIM if you you cackle instantly like hens in a cock fight as soon as you have received HIM...your hearts so shallow that you lose HIS new Words to you as soon as the priest exits HIS Holy Sanctuary....

On this feast of St John Chrysostom who never let others complaints slow him from correcting that which needed correction and doing what is right and just in spite of his own rejection.....

 HE required me to speak to the children of St Joseph who forgot lost everything...just as today's Holy Gospel said of them...

And so I did tell them that "How can you steal from your selves HIS best part of quiet reflection when HE is closest to you......  You know HIM not or you would be weeping now!"

I was actually told by Julie Hoffman Eucharistic Minister to "Pipe Down"  !!

Can you imagine, even the self appointed leaders of the church did not retain God's message today in this Feast of St John  Chrysostom steal from themselves...only go through the motions...but their hearts are far from HIM.

They are the ones who hear & receive the Word with joy...but because of their lack of roots...they know HIM not...like growth among rocks....they fall off as soon as they are corrected...as soon as trials and tribulations...

They ramble on about their mountains instead of communing IN, With & Through HIM whom they just received physically into their being in the Holy Sacrament of Unity...the Holy Sacrament that is truly HE who takes away the sins of the world..

Who is closet to you to comfort, bless and heal you...to lift you out of the pit which you are in.....

It is through remaining one in HIM, with HIM....silently just being receiving all that HE is...

That you are fashioned with greater strength...

Never by talking about your mountains whatever they happen to be will they be cast into the sea.

If you really knew HIM not just of HIM...as you go through motions of the same...routine of Daily Mass...how is it HIS Daily Message does not remain rooted in you as long as it takes you to exit his Holy Sanctuary...you lose it before you even dip your hand into the Holy Water Fountain on your way out....

For you would weep for yourselves quietly...and HIS Holy Presence in you would be so tender intimate that you would not want to give up even for that moment...you would want HIS intimacy in you to last forever in you.

Soon and very soon....HE will pass you & my William and I for the last time...

Soon and very soon hopefully when HE passes that last time to you offering you HIS best...which hopefully you will will choose and confess and pass the final test.

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

Soon and Very Soon

Don't Think It Is An Accident that National Hurricane Center Shows Storms Coming Off Off Africa...

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Our God is very angry about HIS little ones being oppressed by fakey flakey hypocrites who only pay HIM mere lip service before HIS Holy Altar.

Almighty God has had enough of seeing those who seek Him with a sincere heart from morning till dark oppressed by mere "Pretend to be's"

And soon very soon...unless flakes break for good their bad habits and start dressing modestly never revealing publicly their shapes and sexuality...

Unless they change their vocabulary on purpose to pure and not just for one day a week...

Sunday when they read from pulpits only to appear to be good...

God's wrath will come through again...and destroy all women and men who have rejected us and HIM who sent us!

So get ready for the storms to come...and rejoice in HIS wrath that comes to release you Faithful ones of Jesus Christ who have suffered bondage of abuse of those placed in positions of authority to serve you and me, but love not and serve not...

But oppress never confessing!

So sing Hallelujah for HE soon will wash away all sinful men and you & I as friends will live forever more in God's blessings and love.

Amen Amen

God told me several times to "Prepare for a storm"

Greetings! Be ready! Do not be like the wedding bridesmaids who
did not have enough oil when the groom arrived.

Several times I have heard God speak to me: "Watch & Be Ready!"
"Remain Ready & Steady" "Pack your house and watch ans wait
with ME & For ME"
"They will not be ready but because you listen & trust ME you will be
indeed without needs I cannot nor will not meet!"

So all typical Hurricane preparedness things apply and do not laugh haaa ha...

For those who are prepared and the storm to come is not so bad....

They will have lost nothing for putting time and energy into their efforts...

They will simply be more organized when the next storm.... the one
with the ability to devour comes.

And meanwhile because those who obediently prepare now...have got
their houses and families in order in advance...

When others are scrambling in the last seconds...
We will be laid back in peace that surpasses all understanding while
others are fretting running wild.

Be sure now to go to your physician's offices and sign for copies of
medical charts, prescriptions and be certain you have all vital
statistic documents on each member of your household...
Such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses,
divorce papers, bank statements, mortgage papers and deeds to real
property that you own.

Insurance cards of all kinds...motor and home insurance cards &
policies... flood insurance life insurance...proof of Social security
or medicaid or medicare...anything that is ever critical for even one
member of your family even if just occasionally...

Now is the time to organize it all into suitcase or plastic tote box
that is water proof and keep near your door home exit possibly in a
coat closet if your home has one.

Do not be fooled by still seas now.

And we who act obediently now....even if God changes HIS mind as HE
did for King Ebicanezer and Nineveh....HE certainly will reward us in
some way for not ignoring but heeding HIS instruction.

Amen Amen Amen.

Love to you...never be blue but wear blue instead.

Expect Your MIRACLE Today & Every Day or You Might...

Only those who expect MIRACLES in every part of every day....live lives filled with MIRACLES and far more graces & Blessings than the average person alive on earth.

We receive what we we expect.

If you or I wake up anticipating bad news...

Guess what your phone will ring all day with problems.

For everyone who knows that Johnny or Jane expects days filled with problems....

Others assume that Johnny & Jane are exactly who they are to call & visit with every single delima that not only they personally encounter...

But recommend Johnny & Jane to each person they meet and greet along every single street whether in Ponchatoula Louisiana...

Or on the coast of Madagascar, Nigeria, Malawi, Egypt, India or Yugoslavia.

Earth geography never limits God's laws of deliverance, blessing or prosperity.

Nor is God ever limited by our circumstances.

We can always accept less than God's best and settle for what others are content with....

Or we can reach out for HIS greater gifts.

Jesus said:  "Far greater things than these you shall do...

For I go to my Father at HIS right hand and anything I ask is mine anything you ask in my Name My Father & I shall do for you & through you!"

When Even Catholics Are Confused About Fundamental Basic Life Principles...

It is very sad when Christians & even Catholics swallow the devil's distortions which then transcend every facet of daily living.

I was wearing today a button pinned to my bright pink jacket that reads: PRAY FOR ABORTION TO END!"

 At a Graduation lunch in a New Orleans Catholic Parish the Sunday following Father's Day 2013...I was astounded the responses I received & conversation it spawned.

I expect this kind of confrontation if & wear it to the grocery store but not to Catholic Holy Mass & to a party of Catholic Families at a Catholic Church.

I was told that "Even if I personally would not abort my child, I don't have the right nor do you have right to suggest to others what they should do!"

Well is preaching & teaching the Holy Gospel suggesting to folks a better way to live???

And so this statement contradicts the entire life of a christian for we are called to always live by the Holy Scriptures that say:  "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"

Let HIS life, HIS joy, HIS mercy which endures forever never cease from parting from our lips!

We are to be imitators of God who calls each by name and who speaks good things into being at all times....

We are to like God embracing all that befalls us with great FAITH...speaking hope to the hopeless and life into the dead!

I pray you see this contradiction that we all plainly see and hear all over where ever we go...

Maybe you never thought of in this perspective.

I pray that each of you from this moment forward take seriously your position on every issue and never be silent.

Now that you have been educated that you deceive yourself when believing that by not taking a position  frees you from responsibility.

All persons are responsible for their own choices whether they choose not to allow themselves to be educated on issues, whether they take no stance, whether they stay in the middle and call themselves a "Moderate" and be on which ever side of the issue is less uncomfortable for them depending upon who is scrutinizing them at a particular moment.

All of these are sinful for God will spit those who are not hot or cold out of HIS mouth!

Soon and very soon..you know not the minute or the hour...you will not have the opportunity to change or mend your ways...

So shake off the hummmm drumm wishy-washy indecisive nonsense now...
That you will not burn in eternal fire because you would not speak and act upon the truth that the truth can set you free indeed without needs HE can't nor will not meet.

Brennan's Only One Chapter of The Wealth of The Wicked Is Laid Up For The Just!

Date: Sun, Jun 30, 2013 at 6:12 AM

This craziness about Brennan's closing on Royal Street  is just one example on how greed, selfishness, and self-righteousness will always bring one's self down into the pit eventually.....simply having an address on a Street with such a name as "Royal" makes most folks eventually big headed, proud no different than Lucifer who was not content to have 3 offices in heaven before God...Lucifer said he was just as good as God and could do things better or as good.

So the foretold prophesy that all proud will be humbled is playing out here in New Orleans and the closing of Brennan's just one chapter.

All big giants who have no regard for their community and individuals they employ will ever remain large forever.

This should be an example to all that even these large corporations such as WalMart whose founder Sam Walton was content making a small profit on large volume for he cared about the poor....now such corporations are merely riding on their former reputation which is today a fallacy for WalMart no longer operates with the same values that Sam Walton built his corporation upon.
I have actually in recent years witnessed the disabbled/handicapped employees who Sam Walton had compassion for now required to do tasks which they physically are not capable which violates Federal & State Laws.

Today WalMart hires such persons for Tax Write Offs, but then does not full fill their obligation to them.

Such individuals figure if they take WalMart to court that it would cost them more financially, more phyisically and emotionally than they have within themselves and the task would simply kill them. And where else would they find employment.

There was a time when WalMart was willing to pay bennefits to their employees but now refuse to hire folks for enough hours that they could qualify for benefits.

Anyone who abuses their position of authority or their position within the over all economy will eventually as the scripture declares that God will entrap the wicked with their own devices...

I know many think that WalMart will never fail.

But folks thought that of MacDonalds hamburgers and they have reported loses in recent times for the first time ever!

Burger King announced that they lose money selling the 99 cent hamburger to compete with the Dollar menus of other fast food companies and who would have thought companies such as these who have gone "Global" and harmed the health of now not just Americans who eat too much of this high fat high salt diet...

But now the disease of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes etc that were common in the United States are more prevalent in countries that now have their own fast food hot spots thanks to American greed for money and expansion.

Microsoft actually now requires new consumer.customers who purchase their computers to sign agreeing to never be part of a class action against Microsoft in order to operate the product they just purchased.

And their Windows 8 is designed such that you must have a Microsoft email account to even turn your computer on and type a Word Document which means Mr. Microsoft & his employees can spy on you even when you type a private letter to your Aunt Suzy or Aunt Jane. Not just when you do Email or FAcebook.

Everyone should write their SEnators and Congressmen & Congresswomen on this one which is a serious invasion of privacy.

So the slow crumble of a New Orleans tradition of greed & feed is just one chapter in the future transfer of wealth that is Biblical & prophesied.

"The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just"

We All Can Receive MIRACLES and Be Vessels Through Which God Grants MIRACLES to Others But Those of You Who Refuse To Bless Others....

Soon very soon there will be no more chances...
No more chances to return kindnesses, no more chances to exchange bright Sonshiney Smiles...

Those who choose to simply go through the motions of Daily Holy Mass receiving Holy Communion but not living as though you even have a clue of who Jesus is...

For those who are one in Jesus it is impossible for them to be unkind...For God is love....how can one who has just eaten the Body of Christ instantly run out chattering about nonsense then cut off their neighbor as they drive out of the parking lot or even park their vehicle in a dangerous position that others can get injured...their tail and hitch in the middle of the sidewalk that at least half of the Catholic congregation folks walk to enter the church for Holy  Mass....

Very few are thoughtful of others then question why their relationships are not full filling but empty???  I am sure that you can see why...even if this truck driver sees this blog post or the others which I used this photo and another taken here but from another angle to also show their license plate...

This person I assure you will never change their ways...I have exposed their true character in the past in color pictures and their arrogance only grew more spiteful.

Though we must not be afraid of what others will say or think,

Nor can we be controlled by other's opinions are talk of us.

We who desire to be chases down by both blessings and MIRACLES that never cease but only keep multiplying with our joyful smiles and laughter in spite of devils who seek and track us...

We must keep on keeping on singing regardless who is murmuring behind our backs.

As we heard in last Sunday's Gospel the Lord was not concerned of who what about who HE is...

And so shall we must be continuing to bless others with our smiles and songs...there will always be someone like our former next door neighbor Veronica on Alvin Callender Street when we with God were building our home...

She came outside yelling one day not able to understand how not even hers & her nephews hateful actions against us could not kill our spirits.

She came outside as I was singing new songs through joyful tears...tears that our neighbors were trying to stifle the rebuilding of our home.

What we had completed the day before our neighbors had punched holes into in the night...

But I sang new songs to the God above knowing HE who watches through the night from HIS throne up above not only saw the crimes against us in the night but had the power to restore not only that which the angry jealous locusts had stolen...

They who were filled with jealousy, anger and hate and have never been loved nor have loved themselves....

No different than the Ponchatoula local native neighbors who say out of one side of their mouth that they are going to build Ponchatoula into a thriving economic marketing business center, yet they tie up themselves in bondage that they cannot grow...

By shunning newcomers who choose to make Ponchatoula home!

No town or city will ever grow & prosper past the point they are today without welcoming new citizens not only physically into their neighborhoods, and into the community and church families.

Regardless how many families come and are shunned they will eventually move on in the same numbers or even more.

For every family and community has both sincere and insincere folks whom they call their own.

Those whose hearts are pure but were born within a thorny city among hateful tit-tat chatter boxes who love not...

Eventually these too will choose to move onto a better place where they will not be embarrassed by their previous associations whether blood or geographic.

No they will follow the lead of those who come full of life seeking to bless an entire community when they first arrived...but refuse to live an entire life time among grumblers and wishy -washy complainers.

As Joyce Meyer has taught over the years....one can choose to complain and remain and go around and around a same old mountain of a pill.

Or you & I and each of us can reach out and beyond our circumstances for another new dream...when others fight to long and hard resisting thy kindness and blessing...

As Jesus said:  "Shake of their dust and move on..."

Such cities will never grow but as Sodom & Gomorrah will be your town or city who shuns the hearts who of those who enter bearing kindness and generosity of their grateful loving hearts...

Such a town or city will never grow but die  from their own choices....their own deception...

The fruit never falls far from the tree and the selfish resentful hearts wither and never blossom but rather their self-righteousness they fatten and fluff and spread as an eagle spreads its wings...

Then they go around time gloating convincing themselves and each other that they together did a good thing.

Weather report says flash floods could rise here in South Louisiana today & tomorrow...be not surprised if these are no longer here...whether they drown now and or burn later.

There does come a time when God says:  ENOUGH ALREADY!

A Warning To Everyone For When You Open New Online Accounts....Humorous Consequences That Can Make For More Dangerous Circumstances If Not Caught or Corrected...

Anyone who has known my husband William and I for any length of time know that for my first 49 years of iife that I had physical tunnel vision for real!!   Yes REALLY!

 

That I only saw a small portion of any one's faces at a time, and that I was raised as a sighted child because my parents would not acknowledge my challenges for they were ashamed of "who or what I was."

 

And that on the Feast of the Holy Family 2009 I received a Eucharistic MIRACLE in my eyes and have enjoyed given thanks & praise for nearly three and a half years of landscapes and full length drapes!

 

So I have done some amazing things for someone who literally at times could not see what was under her ow nose!

 

I graduated from Grace King High School without ever having read much with understanding.

To satisfy my mother I sat on my bed for hours just every once in a while turning a page....

But since what was printed in those books made no sense to me and I could not see...

 

That time was not wasted... for in my heart I was not in a chair at a desk nor was I lounged on my bed reading...

I was conversing with my Lord my God and your God...

I would ask HIM to fill my heart and mind with whatever I needed to know...to stay safe at home, school or on the school bus...

Walking down hills or through my neighborhood.

 

A friend who I had not been in touch with for quite some time sent me an invite to open a "  LinkedIN " account.

Happy to hear from her I did just that thinking I could take my time that there would be no hurry to build a resume for myself and at a future date possibly this could help me grow a licensed business with  income doing what I enjoy the most...free-motion embroidery, crochet and writing.

 

But what happened was as I opened this "Linked IN " account, I was interrupted.

And as always, I embraced my interruption... as you do too... 

Took care of whatever it was my husband need that time....

 

I do my share of asking him questions that too for him are not at the best timing...

It happens in all marriages in all kinds of friendships...

 

There is no fault placing here...  No anger or frustration but rather jovial laughter and entertainment...

Life is much easier when one can laugh at and with themselves...

But what happened since I did not stay with the program as I first began opening this Linked IN account was it automatically sent invitations to everyone who I ever wrote an email to from the first date I opened this email address.   And not only to these who I possibly only wrote once ever, some were business inquires that I never thought about again in over 5 years.

 

Other auto invitations went to folks who I never wrote but their email address was attached to one of those cutesy poems with pictures many just keep forwarding and forwarding over and over...certainly none of these I ever thought would one day show up as "CONNECTIONS"

 

And since I at times post to my blogs not signed into blogger but from my email as I am doing now...

Linked IN posted connection requests to my blogs for about a 5th time last night.

 

So instead of going into Blogger and removing those comical posts  "MrsStephanie............invites you to CONNECT"  from my blogs...

I am leaving Linked IN right there...

Instead I will post this on all of them...

 

And make a game of it...

 

But it could have serious consequence when an unsent invite is accepted by someone who is worse than unpleasant.

 

I HAVE CUT OF several CONNECTIONS....some without any explanation.

 

Check your email contact list for many email systems save all information as your potential contacts even though you do not routinely write email to them nor they to you.

And you can possibly also have your account hacked into through these odd seemingly insignificant addresses that seem not worth even giving time to DELETE!

 

But do it!  DELETE DELETE!

And when you open new accounts do not let systems access your contact lists, manually type the ones you want to communicate with the new account and you will have fewer headaches of             SPAM JAMS...

 

And you will not have to check your new account more often than you would have liked to to make certain you have no spying new connections...that maybe unsafe for you...

As happened to me!

 

But the Lord will always keep us free indeed with out needs HE cannot nor will not meet...

And when the devil does raise his head....

 

Whether a cyber spyer...a marriage divider...or simply folks who some how did not learn or remember from Kindergarten how to introduce themselves and ask others their names....

I guess till Jesus comes back there will be those who try to force themselves upon others instead..

 

When anyone is rude, crude, or  speaks with forked tongue...

Remember our Lord said to cut off the hand that causes us to sin...

 

Don't you wish that it was as easy to get rid of all of these....as pushing or clicking a DELETE BUTTON!

Soon Very Soon Our Lord Will Be Back and How Will HE Find You?

Soon and very soon our Lord will return for HIS last time!

All over Facebook and Twitter everyone even Protestants are saying that Pope Francis who was elected days ago...March 13, 2013 will be the last Pope of the Catholic Church within this world.

Everyone who says this, therefore believes that Jesus is coming back
much sooner than most people would like to think...

For the very fact that the majority of people I see in every day life whether in the super market, driving on city streets, or even in Catholic and Protestant Churches my husband and I have either both belonged to or visited...

The actions and behavior of many exemplify the fact that they either do not believe in an after life and so they do not care nor even try to live by the 10 Commandments!

This is the "What is in it for me?" age.

Our Lord said Himself:  "This is an evil age that demands signs" for all things!

But how is it that many who know HE is coming back still remain arrogant and manipulate in all of their both personal and business interactions?

So if you are someone who is not happy...get a Revelation that happiness and joyfulness are always a choice!  So if you are unhappy it is your own fault for making poor choices in your own behavior and attitude.

No one who is rude or presses themselves into another's space will ever be a welcomed friend...
For friendship & love can never be forced...it is impossible for love and force or manipulation to coexist.

Many push away from themselves that which they most desire and at the same time isolate themselves from Jesus Christ and thus they will be lost for eternity unless they quickly change their ways...
before our Lord passes them by for their last time...

Sooner than they or even you...may think!
