Spring Winds Blow

Cool winds, strongly blowing, 
calling my name. 
I chant with the willows remembering, 
singing songs of remorse. 

Dance with me upon the tree tops. 
Swing with the sweet melody, 
whispering in the air. 

Moving violently, 
spinning around and around, 
While dizzy with the calling of the rain, 
falling onto the ground. 

Breathless and faint, 
still longing for sorrows message, 
I climb back up, 
sitting upon a rock nestled in the trees. 

Waiting for sounds to stop, 
peace to come, 
erasing the memories from past. 

Relieve this pain, 
Crying inside of me for depth. 
Clarity, and forgotiness bringing joy. 

uncontrolled laughter, 
erupts in seasons breeze, 
springing rain fall, 
birthing a new tomorrow.

My Dream from God about People Praying

I dreamed this a few months back.

Anyway, I dreamed I saw the back of Jesus. I did not see his face, but I saw his back , and he was facing a stormy sea. I was standing there watching him while he did NOTHING and wondering why he didn't do anything cause he could calm this storm. 

Then he spoke and said " People have quit praying. If they would come to me in prayer I could calm these storms. "

I then woke up and the bed was shaking. I didn't know what to think. Everything was shaking, and Then I found out I wasn't crazy. There had been an earthquake. I knew for me to have that dream and then immediately after I woke up for their to be an earthquake meant this dream had great significance. 

I called my pastor and told him about the dream to see what he thought, and he thought it was from God as well.

God want's us to come to him in prayer. If we don't come to him in prayer then he can not calm these storms we are facing. Even the Bible says ye have not because you ask not. Call on him in prayer. Start praying more because the storms can be moved if we come to Him in prayer. Please pray.

What's Your Mindset

Mindset- is an attitude

 When you get the right mindset you can change your life. Mindset is how you see your self. You can see your self fat or you can see your self skinny. Once you see your self getting healthy you can then begin to achieve it in small steps. You can have a poor mans mindset and you will stay poor all your life. What road are you traveling on? Is it a dark road with dark clouds ahead? Keep your focus OFF the negative situations you are may be facing and place it in Gods word instead. See what he says about it. I know he says he came to give you life and life more abundantly. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Also faith without works is dead. You have to start moving toward your dream. 

I woke up this morning and I remember seeing the word mind set written in a book and it was circled and high lighted in my dream and someones was talking to me about mindset. I don't remember what they said but I remember the word mindset. So I wrote this. 

Whatever you have a mindset of is what you are going to live into it wether it be good or bad. What you think about is what you are going to become. What you keep your focus on is what you will become. That is why it is so important to keep your mind on the word of God and start having the right mindset to accomplish what God has instore for you . 

Froney Maloany

Froney Maloany wears pig tails, and works part time down at the five and dime. On the weekends she works at the Library. She would be a pretty girl if it weren't for the black rimmed glasses. She used to be talked about awful bad by a jealous few, but she never was what they said. She was a good person loved by many.

Now Froney had a few boyfriends in her past who did her like a dog. Truth is they were all alcoholics and drug attics, but Froney thought they all needed to be saved. She felt sorry for them and wanted to rescue them like a lost puppy dog abandoned at the pound. She never did drugs though, she was always a good person with good morals with her occasional mishap of the miner kind that goes along with things when you run around with bad company. Her problem was she just had a bad case of the "I am not good enoughs."

She finally got tired of always being walked on by those kind of men, and joined church. Funny thing is she has now made it a mission to save her lost family, and everyone else in the community. She is always quoting some Bible scripture. She is obsessed with scripture and reading the Bible. All she does is set there and read from her mountain of books she takes everywhere with her. She even has scriptures hanging up all over the walls of her home; reading them to anyone who will listen. She believes Scripture will be like a Chariot of fire and carry her through all life's storms. So far she has been right.

I got next to her once down at the Piggly Wiggly and I could have sworn she was going to start reading me scripture from her 3 decks of scripture cards she keeps with her at all times, but I was able to escape when the cashier handed her receipt to her. I don't guess she wanted to hear her either, judging by the huge discount she gave her on her groceries. I even heard the manager started to fire her over it until he found out who it was the discount was given to. Apparently he had experienced one of Miss Maloany's long Sermons down at the post office.

Froney is a sweet little thing even with her scripture reading. She is pure Gold. You couldn't find a better heart in the county. She once spent almost her whole pay check on needy children and then the next week on food for the animals at the shelter. She was always doing stuff like that.

She was always reading scripture to sinners, at least until the pasture pulled her over to the side one Sunday after church and said ," Froney, you can't drag people into Heaven when they don't want to go. You just have to pray for them and keep inviting them to church and trust God  to do the rest."

Since then she just prays and trusts God ; inviting people to church along the way. She is leaving it in Gods hands now. She still witnesses though. She just no longer try's to choke hold them with Bible scripture. Instead, she just walks in love and forgiving people as she goes and trying to be a good light.

By the way, I recently got saved and am attending church with Froney now. You should come sometime. Church starts at 6:00pm on Sunday's

A word from God given to me in the month of January 2013

 I wanted to know why I am here. What purpose do I serve ? I  needed to know that I am not fighting this all for nothing. Is my life always going to be useless? These are the questions I needed answered. 
These are the words that were spoken to me :
God has told you what he wants you to do , you think you didn't hear right or that you made it up in your head. It's that still small voice , do what he has told you & believe his word that been spoken to you and over you.
Your ministry may not be a platform as you have in your mind it may start with your day to day , the ppl you meet your family friends . 
When I was told this I knew it was true. So then I asked  if it was God's will for me to go back to school and try to get a job ? Then this was what was spoken to me :

I have given personal words before its new to me & I was so afraid that I would miss it or not telling what God had even told me but I know now I can feel it the anointing I'm afraid not to tell now , I didn't want to tell you , cause u may think crazy but I had to lol

As soon as I read if u should go back to school or get a Job , I immediately got I have told her what to do she has to trust me.

So then I said this :

There are still some things I am confused about. I have felt like I should wait on the Lord before I go back to college and then I felt like that the Lord was saying nothing changes until something moves. Maybe you could ask God to show you which one he meant. I don' want to be someone people look down on.

This is what was said to me after that :

I just got ur message I will pray about this , u have to remember if confusion comes its not God , were getting into reasoning & trying to figure things out for ourselves , now Peter did step out of the boat & was doing the impossible as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus. U pray about it to , I will get back to u lol

And u want to stay in his will , so look at all the examples in the bible from Noah to Abraham to the disciples God told them what to do odd as it may have been they did it with the exception of Jonah lol , he eventually did. It happened with ease Gods anointing was on it they were moving in his will , i personally believe that if we're fighting to make something happen & it doesn't let up , then we may need to ask God are we in his will, I don't know if it should be so hard , u have to have faith & step out & the unknown is scary but we can trust God to do for us as he said . Abraham didn't know where he was going & Noah probably was the town joke building a huge boat when it had never rained just think about that . U know they thought he was crazy.

Then a man spoke these words to me as I was talking to a friend of mine about going back to school , he sent this to me and he has never spoken to me . This was completely out of the blue. Here it is :

"I believe a change in Jesus name for you Praise God"

So what do you think from reading this ? What is your assessment ?

The Bible, Our Prologue To Life

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie, and wish you could tell the Person not to go in that door or to stay away from that person because they were bad news?  If life was like book,or a movie, we would then be able to know a little about what to expect, and we all would make very few mistakes. If only we could see ahead like we can when watching a movie or reading a book.

However, we can see ahead if we just pay closer attention to the things, and people we surround our selves with. A persons past can foretell what will happen to them by who they choose to keep company with. Now granted some people change direction and decide on living a better life, but most of the time that only happens when they choose to follow God.  They can stay good for a little while, but if they are not grounded in Jesus then they soon slip back into there old ways.That is why it is best to be spirit led, and rely on God to choose your mate as well as your friends. Being spirit led can keep you from danger. For example, God can warn you not to be in a certain location at certain time. How many times have we had strange feeling not to go some where, only to find out later there was a terrible wreck?  Also being in bad company can often times lead you into the wrong place and the wrong time. For example, if you are in the car with someone and they have drugs on them but you are unaware and you get pulled over. Then you my friend are going to jail with them. Beware of the company you keep. In there lays your future.

The book of proverbs is a very good book of instruction on what to look for in wicked people. It will give you hints and clues as to the fruits of evil men / women. People of poor moral character are the same today as they were back then, and the words of proverbs prove it. You can tell a tree by the fruit it bares. Proverbs tells us of the fruit evil men will bare. Refer to Proverbs 24: 1-2 BE NOT THOU ENVIOUS AGAINST EVIL MEN, NEITHER DESIRE TO BE WITH THEM.
2 FOR THEIR HEART STUDIETH DESTRUCTION , AND THEIR LIPS TALK OF MISCHIEF.
It's important to rely on God in all life's choices. The Bible is our guide book and should be referred to often.

Prayer and spending time with God is another important factor in living a good life, and being spirit led. God wants a relationship with us, and He is just a prayer away. If you will draw nigh to Him He will draw nigh to you.

The Bible is our prologue of things to come depending on the choices we make. So I ask you today to choose the good life. Choose Jesus and live a life with a happy ending.
