Blessed With Sufficiency

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ."

Ephesians 1:3 

"God is more than sufficient for you today, Your heavenly Father has inexhaustible resources all of which are at His disposal to help you in the way that will best build your faith and relationship with Him.  And He has promised to give you every spiritual blessing because you have faith in Jesus.

The problem is not the Father's ability to bestow what you need, but your ability to receive it when fear or the desire for control governs you.  You must deny those strongholds and accept Him as Sovereign God.

So ask yourself:  Are you willing to trust God today?  Will you watch for His activity?  Will you take His Word as true, that He's blessed you with every spiritual blessing?  Will you obey Him?

Because when you have what you need spiritually, all else falls into place.  Therefore, trust Him to sustain you.  He is more than sufficient." (Everyday in His Presence)

During any storm, we are safe under God's umbrella.  He shields us from the storm.  Lord we trust in you to keep us.  We trust in You.

Lord, You are God.  Thank You for being sufficient for my every need, spiritually, physically, and materially, I trust You to help me with all I face, Amen.

Love You Momma!

The month of May is dedicated to our Blessed Mother Mary.

 Blessed Mother Mary

Our Most Beautiful Mother

We love You so much!

O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves and our family to thine Immaculate Heart.

We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life; all that we have, all that we love, all that we are.  To thee we give our bodies, our hearts and our souls; to thee we give our homes, our families, our country.

We desire that all that is in us and around us may belong to thee and may share in the benefits of thy motherly benediction.  And that this act of consecration may be truly efficacious and lasting, we renew this day at thy feet the promises of our Baptism and our first Holy Communion.

We pledge ourselves to profess courageously and at all times the truths of our holy Faith, and to live as befits Catholics who are duly submissive to all the directions of the Pope and the Bishops in communion with him.

We pledge ourselves to keep the commandments of God and His Church, in particular to keep holy the Lord's Day.  We likewise pledge ourselves to make the consoling practices of the Christian religion, and above all, Holy Communion, an integral part of our lives, in so far as we shall be able so to do.

Finally, we promise thee, O glorious Mother of God and loving Mother of men, to devote ourselves whole-heartedly to the service of thee, in order to hasten and assure, through the sovereignty of thine Immaculate Heart, the coming of the kingdom of the Sacred Heart of thine adorable Son, in our own hearts and in those of all men, in our country and in all the world, as in heaven so on earth. Amen

Our family is forever consecrated to You!

Blessed Mother, protect my children as they travel to Florida tonight.  Keep them safe, protected in Your loving arms.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mother's birthday...

I love you so much momma  

Thank you for all that you do 

 God has blessed me so much

And helped to guide me 

To choose what's right

I am forever thankful

To our Heavenly Father

To have given to me

Such a Blessed Mother.

I love you so much.  Have a wonderful Birthday!

Your daughter,

Unplug

Give God your heart. Unplug from this world.  Unplug from the matrix.  God is waiting for you!

Recently I was at my daughter's band concert.  Sitting there waiting for it to begin, I look around me.  Almost everyone is "plugged in".  They are on their phones.  To the left of me, right of me, in front of me... plugged in.  My own children are just as bad.  Their phones hardly ever leave their hands.  It bothers me.  It's an epidemic.

Excerpt from Light of Mary, April 27, 2016 - "Children, the intelligent, rational and thinking man has been sold, and he himself has allowed it.  His possessions have gone to the other creatures without man being totally aware of it.  An enemy has gotten inside the households and with great joy you open the door for him, and he arrives to cause more division than there already is, he brings about diseases, not only at the personal level but also emotional.  My mother has already warned you and you have failed to get ahead of that enemy, instead he has entered your homes, and at this instant he has become familiar with the family members and with all of society, thus achieving greater family disintegration, infidelity and psychological disturbance.  I speak of the most popular means of communication at this instant... the phone."

"I see a robotized people walk in a state of sedation, hypnotized by technology, debased by technology.  They have lost modesty, shame is not known to them, and this is the work of satan with the complacency of man who uses this as an excuse to deliver himself to sin in most cases."

"New things will arrive with which evil will dazzle man, and man will love the new things and will despise God... My mother warned you. "

(Light of Mary)

Just recently my youngest got dragged into some social media madness.  She's only 11 years old, but the pull of the world is so strong.  I pull on her one way, the world pulls the other.  It's a real tug-of-war. 

Excerpt from a message from Our Lady of Light, May 1, 2016 - "I come to you today as Healer of All distractions, for in these end times, you, my children, have a great need to be relieved of the distractions in life that are preventing you from being the child of God that your Father in Heaven desires of you." (End Times Daily)

I can barely stomach social media.  I think it's one of satan's most cunning schemes.  Bothered by this I awoke around 4:30 a.m. thinking about the bondage we are enwrapped in.  I got up, grabbed my notebook and had this impressed upon my heart...

"Do not fear My love.  I have you and yours in the palm of My hand.  It won't be long now.  I know you struggle with this world.  I see the desires of your heart.  I know you long for the days of simplicity.  I know you long for the new heaven on earth.  I see your heart.

It pains Me too the condition of this world.  It pains Me too to see the young being pulled into the matrix.  Do not fear and have hope.  I am coming and I will change the world back to before the fall.  You will once again live in the garden of eden where innocence abounded.

Hang on My love.  I will never leave you.  You have pure intentions and soon My love you will see these intentions come to fruition.  Hold fast.  Stay strong. Pray.  We are with you!"

Fruition - A point at which a plan or project is realized.

Revelation 21:5 - "Behold I make all things new."

The Invite

The other night I had a short dream.  Nick and I were at a party.  We were in a large room and there were many people there.  The party was ending and everyone started leaving.

There was a man standing there reminding them that He had invited them to a party too.

The people kept leaving saying they had to much to do.  The man looked sad.  Nick and I felt bad for Him and started telling people they should stay for His party too.  I saw my cousin and his wife there.  We asked them to stay.

More people left, but some did stay.  My cousin and his wife stayed.  We walked into a large room and there was a large long table.  It was set up for a dinner. There were some people already sitting down and others just coming in.  There were people there, but not near as many as there was at the earlier party.  End of Dream

Jesus is knocking.  He's inviting us.  Are we listening, or are we too busy?

Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him
and he with Me."

Come to Me

This message was impressed upon my heart on April 29, 2016...

Be at peace and know that I am God.  My peace I give to you.  The feeling of oppression is coming from the evil one.  He is trying to distract you, to take you away from Me.  Rest assured My love that will never happen, but that is not to say that he won't try and you won't feel it.

Rest assured you are Mine forever.  He is trying hard to make you feel condemned, he is trying hard to make you feel guilty about your decisions and your own feelings. He is trying to make you feel condemned because you are tired and overwhelmed.  You my love have reason to feel tired and overwhelmed.  Don't feel guilty for having these very basic human emotions.

All is fine with you My love.  The distractions of this world try to pull you away from Me and when this happens you feel the pressure. That alone can overwhelm you bringing on oppression and depression.

Raise up My child, for you are an heir to My throne.  Never let a thought of condemnation come upon you for you and yours are Mine.  Yes, I know and see your concern about your loved ones.  They are also Mine even though at times it does not look so now.  They will be safe and protected in My arms.  I have a ministry for you and your family.  The enemy cannot stop this.  It will be so.  It is done.  Understand?

 Come to me often My child, especially when you are feeling oppression , condemnation or any depression for this all comes from the evil one.  Taking time with Me and praying will relieve you of these stresses.  Pour my blood upon you and your family.  Pray to your mother as well for her protection will keep you in times of dire straits which is fast approaching.  Pray to the heavenlies for their prayers and support for you.  Yes, their prayers are powerful.  We are for you, not against.  All will be well My child this you need to keep near and dear to your heart.

I see the demand of this world upon you.  Many of My children are struck with avarice, but know that coming to me, I heal all wounds and give comfort and strength for the journey.  I love you My child. Come to Me often.  Peace and love.


Definition of avarice - extreme need for wealth and material gain, couvetous, materialism, worldliness, being of the worldly

I've had a few confirmations on this message.  One confirmation was on May 3, 2016 from Small Straws...

 "Step into the light by leaving all darkness behind.  Those things that result in condemnation, oppression and depression do not come from Me, says the Lord.  When you begin to walk in the Spirit instead of entertaining the flesh, light will prevail over all darkness.  Let your light shine!"

Abundant Joy!

Today I've had such Joy in my heart!  I guess it's because we have such an awesome God who blesses us continually!

Thank You God for all Your Blessings on us!

JOY!

A Family Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of our family.  Enlighten our hearts and minds that we may live more fully this vocation to love.

In our daily life and work may we reflect the self-giving love which you, O Father, eternally show with Your Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let Your love be evident in the peace that reigns in our home and in the faith we profess and live.  May our family always be a place of generosity, understanding, forgiveness and joy.

Kindly give us the wisdom and courage to be witnesses to Your eternal design for the family; and grant that the Holy Family of Nazareth may always guide our path to holiness as a family.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.  Amen.

(Archbishop E. Lori of Baltimore, Supreme Chaplain)
