my fancy cat marshie..................💓💓💓💓💓

Update 2/4/2024 no update pics or nothing with this blog post update cause I'm still pretty sick. My husband got outside to build greenhouse (it's a $300 greenhouse - should look nice) it was he said 30 something degree's outside. 

I think this wig was also horrible, and back then I really needed to wear makeup badly. These days I look much more like marilyn monroe 24/7 even without makeup on, but back then I wasn't as much looking like marilyn (no plastic surgery............just red light therapy - many people in my family their nose the cartilage get's like larger and hardens up more at the end of their nose later on in life ---------- I spent most my life terrified I'd end up with my aunt kays nose................which her nose looked great on her. Fortunately my cartilage did it's weird grow/harden up thing and it ended up very much looking like marilyn's nose). She was a lot like me, super "sun shiny" but when she got sad finally - she got real real real sad.

(back to wearing tichels, pictured above, I'm just going to have to figure out which headscarves are cool enough for the summer. Everyone liked actually seeing my hair. It was terrible for me, I don't like my hair at all hanging down)

To all christians "afraid" out there, god did not give you a spirit of fear 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
  A few people fear me bad right now, so bad I've been thinkin about fear. I can't think of a time a moment, when fear would be a good thing.
  This verse in particular has just gripped me lately Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Where this verse says "but the fearful" man I've been thinking on that, on the idea that fear could lead you to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."  Don't have fear, instead I recommend having faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Mark 4:39-40 "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"

  Also a section of the bible much on my mind lately Numbers 14:6-9 "And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not." 

  Joshua and caleb, they saw the giants in the land, and they chose to trust god.....................god promised this land of "milk and honey" this was it this was the land god promised all the jews back then full of "milk and honey" God clean told them "I gonna give you this land"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exodus 3:17 "And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey." This was it, this was their land of "milk and honey" and instead of believing many of them chose fear. 

 ................now maybe if you fear a person your love just ain't perfect yet...................
1 John 4:17-19 "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us."

  Though I don't much recogn fear to be a good thing at all I can find many places in the bible where god is saying hey don't fear 

Deuteronomy 3:21-22 "And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you."

  Now my old church is in terror of me, they done told me so on this here blog on a older post (apostolic christian church of america). I don't fear them. If they killed me.....................what can separate me from the love of christ????????????

Romans 8

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

what am I gonna fear?????????????????????????? Besides god???????????????????????????????????????

I don't fear you! 

I believe, I believe god Deuteronomy 3:22"Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you."

----------- I can't even tell you all in what ways god is fighting for me...................but you can be 100% He is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm determined to not walk in fear, but walk in faith like joshua and caleb.............who choose to believe god when he said he'd give them THE LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY Exodus 3:17 "And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey."

0% FEAR 

FEAR IS TERRIBLE WHAT ANY YOU WANT THAT?????????? I do not understand "the fearful"???????????????????

I am a lion
