Wow! I so need to hear this today. Had a string of tragedies. So much going on in the world and our country. Plus there’s a big leak in the ceiling. But, it’s a beautiful day sitting outside with my pups. Business is doing pretty good. Kids and grandkids healthy and strong. I have money to pay my bills. I heard the Lord say to me, straighten up and fly right. He’s right you know. ❤️

"Straighten up and fly"

Love that fren.

get rid of the leak and dry it out right away, or you may end up with toxic mold. I am living in a house with toxic mold from leaks that happened before I moved in. Toxic mold can make a person very sick! Stop the leak if you can and get a strong fan to evaporate it.

I know. It just happened and I can’t find it. It’s in the attic somewhere. Tankless hot water heater and a gozillion pipe up there. 😳😬

I think I need a plumber but not sure. It’s gotta get figured out pretty quick. Let me know if you know more than I do.

I live in the Deep South so mild is an issue. Thank you sweetness!

After 24 hours of wetness, it will grow some kind of mold. I would hire a plumber ASAP!! I have been suffering because of the cheap land lord of the rental I'm living in. I have to move and get mold specialist doctor I am so sick. Please don't wait.

If you have run your a/c, here in SC it hasn't been that hot yet, it could be from condensation. Just a guess.

Well stated. I treasure God's creation, it's a fascinating gift. People should stop and consider the simplistic complexities (I don't think that's a contradictory concept) of every aspect of His creation. Amazing, and thanks!

There is nothing quite like being out in nature and the way it can soothe a weary heart. Thanks for reading.

Perfect timing! The almost ceaseless media focus on social ills is exhausting.

During the Plandemic epoch, I was made to routinely suffer the ill-informed opinions of an acquaintance. When I inquired what informed him, he stated that he routinely listened to CNN. My reply was brief: “You are what you eat.”

I stand by that observation. Simply. One is what one consumes...literally or rhetorically.

That was BEAUTIFUL....and painfully necessary. Thank you for taking the time to get this message out to all of us and I pray for you that you are able to guard your mind, as well....You are on the frontline of all of this and I pray for God’s Holy White Light to surround and protect you at all times. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

God warns us in His word to guard our heart: Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it."

In order to follow His advice, be discerning what you feed your mind and thoughts, because that will flow into your heart.

Oh, what a breath of fresh air! Thank you, Pepe! I happen to be living in one of Babylon's strongholds where a man who has devoted the past several years teaching love and compassion on a street corner was fatally slain this past week. People knew him as The Compassion Guy. Two days later another gentle soul was fatally slain in a park near me. And two days after that a third soul was attacked...but fortunately was rescued in time to save her. She's in the hospital now. It's been a rough week, but emphasizes why, after 50 years, I must get out of Dodge. While Babylon's self-destructing right before my eyes, it's just too much and my soul can't take it anymore. I'm getting out of the war zone and moving to the mountains.

About a month ago I felt a pull to concentrate on the more fruitful things in my life. What I mean is to start doing positive things. I am re-landscaping my yard.

I so enjoy sitting outside listening to the birds as I transform my little yard into a lovely place to be still and talk to God.

The tumult continues on, but I now have another way to lift my soul.

I will be adding vegetables to my plantings. Peace and abundance. Just what is needed during these uncertain times.

Your piece resonates what God has already shown me. Thank you so much.✝️🇺🇸

Pray for your enemies. I know this is hard but we must have compassion for anyone who does not know the love of God. I was evil before accepting the call to faith.

Expand full comment

At times, we give support & power to the enemy when we focus on him too much. God has already won the battle for us. Keep your focus on Him. He gives to us His peace. He gives to us our strength and our hope. Remember Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Feed your faith through your focus on God. Resist evil and never give up. God will never give us more than we can handle.

Agree the news is TOXIC and often a trigger that can send some down a spiral to dark places.

The cost of caring, or caring too deeply, can result in compassion fatigue. TRAUMA!!

Thank you for the SELF CARE MESSAGE....WE NEED TO BE STRONG & HEALTHY IN MIND & BODY.

Have you heard of Earthing? Get in the ground is a good thing! Get dirty! ❤️

Yes, I love grounding/Earthing in the morning when the grass is still damp from dew. Gets the day off right!! 🥰

If we open our minds and emotions to negativity, we are making a portal for demonic entities to enter in and indwell us. Just like the Book says, guard your mind. It's YOUR responsibility to watch over it with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Bingo, Pepe. Bingo. Exactly this. That's a great analogy to "not overdose on red pills". We MUST have balance and breaks.

Very well said and timed perfectly. I needed this reminder today as I’ve felt myself becoming enraged 24/7 over News for months and it doesn’t lead to happiness or change anything. Thanks.
