Funny how Hislop readers see the whore but miss/overlook the daughters of the whore..
Why is that?..

No one person has ALL of the revelation...one lesson I've learned...

OH ! I thought you, Jane, Bookworm, and the strong women God has called and chosen were simply avoiding us.

Mine was semi-sane until the last few months. Then it went financially insane!

The LORD gave me 2 "words". Be Anxious for Nothing and Do not Fear.

I pondered on them for a bit. Then I replied "Amen LORD. This is Your Word to me and I will NOT Disobey! I will NOT be Anxious, nor will I be afraid.'

Boy...the Peace of God that came upon me was soo incredibly sweet and calming. NOW. I am waiting upon the LORD to manifest the cancellation of the Debt I accrued this past year...and not FOOLISHLY to my knowledge!'

Hope you will stick around and share more with us. We've missed you. We miss Jane and the gang of bulldozing sisters that used to hang with us!

I hate having to pick up the slack... don't abandon me like that again!

I am sooo sorry I missed the 'gathering of the Bulldozing sisters!' The RA flare up was pretty bad for a couple of weeks, making it very hard for me to walk. Driving 5-6 hrs was not going to be an easy feat for me and a couple of days before going I decided it was best for my health to stay home. Next year, GOD willing, I will FLY instead of driving..and buy my ticket way ahead of time.

I am growing to like the word BULLDOZER because this is what we are in spirit..when we are pressing in deeper into GOD, into HIS Realm. Oftentimes, the obstacles of infirmity, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurity, rejection, complacency, religiousosity are in the way of us entering into the Holy of Holies where the Peace of God, HIS LOVE, HIS COMFORT, HIS WORD reside.

When He gave those words 'Be anxious for Nothing and FEAR NOT', I knew He meant it. How can *I* encourage others not to fear, not to be anxious IF I myself have not overcome these obstacles ? How can *I* encourage others to OBEY the Voice of the LORD, if I myself am not obeying and yielding to the guidance and counsel of God, the Holy Spirit in me ?

I don't want to keep repeating the tests ! I want to pass early on and move up until forevermore I reside in the Heavenly Places with the LORD and His Counsel along with my brothers & sisters in Christ.
