Hello to all - Friday is here.
I often wonder what to share here. My weeks are full of thoughts about GOD and us and where prophecy is leading us. I tend to be serious about these topics, and they are the meaning of my life.
Life is filled with so much good and so much bad... the bad seems to scream louder because it is painful to deal with. It is why we call out to GOD for help. When GOD doesn't take away the hurt, we think He doesn't care. It's been a search of mine to figure out what GOD does in our lives... how he acts, moves, deals with sin, and accomplishes prophecy without compromising His Words.
We trust GOD because He doesn't lie.
What does that mean in real life... throughout history... in our times and the days that lie ahead. I spent many many years searching for answers. I haven't been able to do that in recent history, but I still remember the things I discovered.
I fairly recently purchased this little journal at a Dollar Tree... so I could put it in a place where I would be reminded that nothing can change the past... to try to find a better future. It does help. I have it next to my computer space.
Those of us with less than acceptable pasts have a hard time getting over the shadow they cast on every future step we take.
Faith is the only thing that helps me keep going.
This is a mug I designed a long while ago. I like this half of the design, but decided to make a new mug without the other side on this one... I'm working on what to replace the statement with... the statement on the other side... or maybe just duplicate this design on both sides so it can be seen by people with both left- and right-handed grasps.
The mug that really matters is my mug about the Body of Christ... with two designs and both of them essential to the message... and bot part of my effort called Working Together (work2gather.us) - which is all about getting us together and protected for the hard days of prophecy before the Antichrist comes to kill us.
You can see this at my ETSY shop or my EBAY shop. The other side has my 5-line expression of what salvation is all about, and how it makes us ONE Body of Christ...
One God
One Bible
One Christ
One Salvation
One Body
This mug is what I want every Christian to have in their lives... and share with others. It is brief and it shares the main elements of our place in this life. I hope you will consider purchasing some for everyone you know that claims the salvation of Christ.
Since creating it, I am the only one who has purchased it.
I hope that changes soon.
Selling products is the way I hoped to support myself and build Working Together, because my life, my past, doesn't allow traditional methods. That is still my goal.
I keep this news page with me because of the title and the space it shows... it is suppose to be a photo of a property that was 40 acres large. I need more than that for WT, but as a local option, it was inspiring. I had wanted another property in Oregon that was also 40 acres of farmland. It would allow a lot of growth, either as farmland or as development in an urban location. Forty acres seems large until you start building.
As time passed and I couldn't find a way to raise funds, I had to search for GOD's meaning in the lack of provision. I find the Enemy has violated my life and efforts in ways I never thought possible. We have entered a new world. Technology has changed a lot. We can't avoid the actions of non-believers, so I keep looking for GOD's path forward.
Whatever happens, we need to remain faithful to what GOD has taught us and our salvation. I heard a sermon sometime recently, maybe this week, and it talked about the ten days we will be thrown in prison and only those who remain faithful will keep the crown of righteousness and heaven. It makes me think of the Jews in the prison camps... and great suffering that I cannot even imagine.
Our times may get hard, but if we gather together to help each other, it will be a strength for everyone.
My focus is food, shelter, and protection... with everything else becoming part of the work as GOD provides for it. So... I keep looking for land that will provide what we need when the time comes.
Join me in my efforts.
