I want to urge people not to be fearful to have a ministry, that god is plenty able to keep one humble......................

Update 3/8/2024 Myself people don't want to really follow jesus THEY LIKE HAVING FRIENDS...........(including yourself sometimes that's why time and time again you've caved and started wearing jewelry CAUSE YOU WANT TO BE LIKED) to bad for you myself your living "life more abudantly" John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Friends ='s your headed to hell

no friends ==== success your following jesus probably headed to the pearly gates pry

Mark 13:13 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

(one of my latest paintings, yes that is a actual street reflector thingy - 

I bought it at a local craft store..........in a hippy town)

I want to urge people not to be fearful to have a ministry, that god is plenty able to keep one humble. I suspect there are a great many people that stay quiet out of fear that they might get prideful. Though I am fully aware, that many if not the bulk of "ministries" are in the form of letters or e-mails to people and/or churches, paul he wrote a great deal of letters in the bible (he also received a great deal of letters). I do not hear of many people even getting such "type" of letters in the mail, but I hope they are happening out there. ((((I myself both write and e-mail them to people))
  For surely we should be speaking to one another in many bible verses 2 Peter 3:10-11 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"
  But anyways, back to my idea that god is able to keep us humble 2 Corinthians 12:7 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffetme, lest I should be exalted above measure."
  God isn't in the buisiness of setting us up to fail, god's in the buisiness of setting us up to succeed!!!!!!!
 Though pride is something to think about I believe, both general pride and what the bible calls "the pride of life". Recently reading the bible I came across a verse that really grabbed my attention............
2 Samuel 17:23 "And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father."

  Ahithophel, for sometime was a leader right and he was used to people doing what he said............whether he had pride or not I can't say. What I can say, is it's good to be prepared for the idea of people NOT listening to you. 

  For sure, I mean ok like if I'm like the lowest of the low right. If I'm like the grime of society right. If I be for sure the bottom of the barrel or close to..................

God can use me! 

God can use all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 Peter 5:5-7 "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
  I love this song........I ain't sure it fits this post, but it fits my thoughts today. I want heavens light to shine down on me : )

Have a great week!

LOVE

Ms. Dippel's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..................

sheri 3/8/2024 pictured below, coffee caffeinated coffee is skinning me out like never before...................(but if you go on a "coffee diet" I eat foods to - know restaurants won't tell you if diet cola's are decaffeinated less you ask them and many of them only have caffeinated diet cola's from my experience.................you really got to keep track of all your caffeine on the coffee diet ----------- I drink 2 caffeinated coffee's a day.............one decaffeinated coffee also a day WHICH IS PART OF MY COFFEE DIET OH YA...............and that's all the caffeine I injest in a day) I make sure to only drink decaffeinated diet colas. No "zip fizz" either no energy drinks, chocolate I believe has caffeine, only little chocolate not tons.

The bible talks about the "foolish virgins" they went and had fun cause they saw jesus christ's return was tarrying (this is my estimation of things) NOW IS THE TIME TO BE AWAKE!...........................

Update 3/1/2024 just more painting...................planted some grass seeds in the backyard, this time covered them with hay so they should grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............

(ps, this is another mini painting, and I zoomed in to take this picture.................so it's looking almost a little pixilated...................that's the spots where I didn't use much paint on the canvas....................at least these mini paintings let me know ----------- "ok few more coats of paint")

The bible talks about the "foolish virgins" they went and had fun cause they saw jesus christ's return was tarrying (this is my estimation of things) NOW IS THE TIME TO BE AWAKE!
Matthew 25:1-9 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."

  I'm not 100% about Matthew 25:5 "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept." If all of the body of christ sleeps - but I don't think it's the case though many pastors have taught that to me over the years that the whole body of christ would sleep.

  Maybe I am asleep.............maybe most us are all nap nap???????????? Maybe I'm clean in a jesus christ comma right now thinking I'm writing a blog awake while I'm like actually like sleep walking????????????

 god wants us ON FIRE

even if we are all asleep right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  This war against the lusts of our fleshes it don't end maybe til near the point of our deaths.....................it takes zeal and fire to win this war!!!!!!!!! Paul in the bible didn't say he finished the course until he was old...................could take a long time to finish the course???????????????

2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:"

 I'm including a janis joplin song in this post cause I think there are many a slumbering christian (not sure if the whole body of christ ain't asleep, I'm saying some are indeed slumbering to much - not having enough oil for their lamps IT'S IN THE BIBLE!!!!!!!!) My advise to the "too asleep" "Just try a little bit harder"................................

  Lot of soul to some of janis joplins songs, I'm feeling her sometimes, maybe it's just cause she felt??????????? Maybe she was just so alive????????? (if anybody can even grab what I'm trying to say SHE WASN'T ASLEEP)

  My parents one day on a long car drive talked a slew of smack about janis joplin, they estimated that she was like the most wicked woman ever...........................I was a teen at the time.......................that just perked my interest in janis so bad ----------- I was sure she hadn't killed nobody or nothing, how could this lady be that bad. I clean to this day can't see with my eyeballs looking at janis joplin footage all the house of horrors badness about her that my parents said existed.................

I see a 20 something kid bit mislead that's about it. Who maybe like had a ruff childhood and such. I don't see someone that couldn't of been saved, or loved! 

  I see hope really.

   I need to try a little bit harder I believe.......to love more. 

  Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........................................................I went ahead and dyed my hair full out blonde. I work (well as a volunteer) at a christian thrift store, that has influenced my decision to go tichel less ------------ this has been a long drawn out decision. 

  I felt like a target, wearing that tichel. Pastor at my church 2 sundays ago gave this huge sermon about how the wall of partition is gone and nobodies better then anybody else. 

I hadn't done nothin I swear I was just sitting there that sunday wearing a tichel only pry christian jew in the building. I suspect a "big deal" was being made about my tichel. Tryin to get the gunfire off myself a bit. 

  I do not believe my hair is my glory my long hair was scraggly it didn't feel glorious for me really (I was enjoying covering it up with the tichel ----------- but annoying everyone around me looks to be) 1 Corinthians 11:15 I'm saying keeping my hair long wasn't a option if I was going to walk around with it in view, all for the sake of not making people uncomfortable. I wasn't digging my long hair at all...........except when it was nicely tucked away in a cute tichel then I was digging it. 

 Not only do I bear a resemblance to marilyn monroe I agree with her when she said.............."It's all make believe isn't it?" I have a hard time believing a great deal going on around me is actually real.............in my estimation there must be at least some level of "pretend" going on. OR I HOPE SO AT ANY RATE! 

 But it don't matter how we look, it does a bit as far as how people perceive you etc. But it's how we love 

and live I'd say (even if we just read our bible, and pray in a day ------------ GOD NOTICES THAT ------------ THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE IS SAYING WHEN IT SAYS "AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS" THAT'S A PART OF THAT IDEA THERE!

1 Corinthians 15:34 "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame."

  Our lives may not look to different from the worlds somedays in someways (we many have jobs, etc. etc.)...................that effort of reading your bible and praying that is different! 

That ain't what all this world is doing out there! 

Tryin a little bit harder! 

ps...........I realize I look a touch like marilyn monroe and I do enjoy that : ) that is fun in my estimation. I'm a definate marilyn monroe fan..............I think marilyn did look for the good in people like I do. Though I know she tried to declare herself a villian (I don't view her as a villian at all) she needed jesus though..........we all do.

Mrs. Barrientos's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose................

The "rat race" for money, and status etc. it's real and it's a rat race ok...........you all need to with jesus christ's help turn into cats get your cat walk on..................

 Update 2/27/2024 common year 2016 mini me, you must rat race to have money to give to god. Luke 12:21 "So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

zeal and fire otherwise known as

else barf

you out of god's mouth

Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

today's painting : ).............

The "rat race" for money, and status etc. it's real and it's a rat race ok...........you all need to with jesus christ's help turn into cats get your cat walk on..................like jesus and lucifer alright, they both cats.........facts....................
1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" - the devil himself he ain't runnin around that gerbil wheel tryin to be something big in this world.............naw, "as a roaring lion" 

As a cat!

clever guy he knows what's what

He knows not to be no gerbil running silly on no wheel!

Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

The lord ain't no gerbil either, he a lion RAWR!

THE GERBIL WHEEL BIBLE VERSE.............

1 John 2:16 "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

  If you gonna stay in the "rat race" you gonna keep up doin 1 John 2:16............you gonna keep up lusting in your flesh for GARBAGE YOU DON'T EVEN NEED MOST IT

  And you gonna have all kinds of the "pride of life" cause you bought all this ----------------------

  And then you gonna keep on that gerbil wheel to maintain you pride of life cause you bought all this ---------------------------------------------

  That's just stupid. 

You know what cat's do???????????????

  Man, let me tell you what cat's do. They like go grab a bite to eat real quick......................AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY NAP. 

  Not gerbils ok..............................

they run around and around and around and around and around that wheel

 Hebrews 4:9-11 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

  I'm in like rest mode......feel me???????????????

  I don't even get these gerbils................pertinerre running for nothing.........................if you get the goods the "goods" right...........that are all so "cool" in this world....................few minutes later that stuffs is out of date, and you need the next latest "goods". And you don't even get there, little gerbils..................................you run around silly on that there wheel. The tv show "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" isn't titled ---------------------- go buy some gucci -------------- and bamn your a kardashian..................

no it's titled "Keeping up with the Kardashians" --------- at best you on a silly gerbil wheel runnin yourself silly just trying to KEEP UP with the kardashians. 

Forget that. 

I'd rather be like uncool for jesus - meow. 

(pic of me and my husband)

 Forget the lusts of the flesh, forget that gerbil wheel -------------------------- 

Like god wants us to be like zealous for good works right, so as a cat MEOW, you need to like move a bit. But like like most the day..........ya. 

  Like for reals earth........................I'm tellin you what I can tell you right now ok. Lucifer is called a roaring lion....................he ain't being no gerbil on no wheel for reals. And the lord jesus christ called the "lion of the tribe of juda" lion all kinds. CATS! LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT GERBILS! 

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"

  Don't think about what your going to eat or what you are going to wear, or even don't even think on fitness to much ("nor yet for your body") that's gerbil logic right there. 

MEOW

".............IS NOT THE LIFE MORE THAN MEAT, AND THE BODY THAN RAIMENT?" AMEN 

meow

Have a great week! 

LOVE
