My "works meet of repentance" for this week, and encouraging message for anybody battling depression (maybe feeling like your at the "end of the rope" like life is over for you)...........................

Update 1/30/2025 my latest painting..................(not the mural, the mural is my youngest college age daughters painting).......................

(in this pic is quilt square I crocheted recently to donate to http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/

and my new bible study book 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓)

I tell you all,
cain and able
in the bible
those two had the same amount of opportunity
what they did with their time, their hearts, their opportunity..........................was different
been thinking a lot about this bible verse....................................
Ecclesiastes 9:11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."

people could be waiting for me to be a failure, 

deeming me to be a failure - expecting that

thinking "well look at her, a not to bright marilyn monroe impersonator she is surely doomed to fail at life"

but the daily act of being in god's word

praying

going to bible study

that will make a difference

that will be the difference

I don't have to see it fully yet to know it is going to happen!

the time I put in to go to bible study

to go to church

to pray 

to read my bible

TIME IS IMPORTANT

HOW WE SPEND IT DETERMINES OUR LIVES OFTEN!

(Chance to out there so some are going to theoretically get lucky out there......................aka accepting christ as their personal savior at their deathbed, maybe that could be considered a lucky thing to of happened to a person --------- it ain't unlucky to be saved..........amen!) 

Ephesians 5:16 "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." In ephesians 5:16 where it says "because the days are evil" that really speaks to me this morning that it's very important to make good use of our time.............cause the days are evil, there is a never ending onslaught of things being marketed to us all whether via internet, or via our mailboxes, commercials on tv. To get us to want to liposuction our bodies, and get our faces stretched out at the dr's....................................lot's out there trying to grab if you will our time. 

   Time happens to people I have found (so does chance) time does happen to people. It clearly doesn't always happen to me "awesomely".............todays a new day for all of us, a new day, a fresh day to use our time well!

   I watched this morning and bit last night a documentary on marilyn monroe's life, and it could very well be that she really did get to believing that her life "was over"........................in hollywood there has been a idea that people are "washed up" in the past. The guy in the clip below calls marilyn "the late marilyn monroe" sure he could've meant just that she was late..............but he could've been insinuating much more, that her career was "washed up".................

Sheri 2025 almost all the video's I try and upload from you tube are "violation" video's or "privated" video's like later privated besides music videos

I'm tired of removing all these no longer available video's

why you all upload video's if you don't want people to talk about them cause your so "private"???????????????????????????????

   Maybe you are middle aged like me, maybe you don't have the fancy house, the fancy cars, etc. etc. that you were once super sure you were going to have.......................maybe your career ended even.....................

your life is not over!

wait!

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." I cannot say what my future is or what your future is. But know god isMIGHTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great week earth!

Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: AND SO MUCH THE MORE, as ye see the day approaching." so fresh blog post cause I see the day approaching aka the return of christ.............

Update 9-23-2023 I barely needed to take a hit off of my salt inhaler yesterday (I'm trying to put "extreme ashtma" in remission, I can't handle merely walking and then my throat tightening up sometimes burning for several minutes at a time). Yesterday was a hectic day and I didn't get as much walking in as I usually do - but over the years I've learned don't overly beat myself up on days I don't hit my "excersize target" or DIET TARGET! Spirituality, health --------- these things are about perserverance. 

now some are super skinny right, seems they always is

but for most of us "slow and steady wins the race"

(my latest painting, as you can see it's giant, nearly the width of my full size washermachine, it's a box too, but going to hang it on the wall and store stuffs in it at the same time - definately painting more snow covered mountains to : )

Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: AND SO MUCH THE MORE, as ye see the day approaching." so fresh blog post cause I see the day approaching aka the return of christ (Matthew 24:7).
REDEEM THE TIME FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL! BE IN YOUR BIBLES BE READING THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ephesians 5:16 "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Colossians 4:5)
  Don't be like the silly womens talked about in this bible verse.............2 Timothy 3:6 "For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts," Am I going to get in trouble by saying I believe there are some "silly women" on you tube, mostly younger girls, it's mostly not older women. And I'll watch their video's when I'm bored somedays...............their "hauls" and I just sit there and scratch my head over all that.
  really -------------- makeup and nail polish is a pain to deal with not my idea of a "good time"
And clothing it should just be mostly something we wear people.............1 Peter 3:3 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;" This world it is all about "fashion" the putting on of apparel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Fashion it is the worlds thing, it shouldn't be our thing! (though I've said in personal e-mails, of course if you find a cute modest skirt and  you like it and buy it, well that's fine.................we all have "tastes" or whatever..........what we like to wear..........DON'T BE ALL ABOUT THAT........DON'T BE ONE THESE SILLY WOMENS ".............silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts"
   I would video blog but I have a cold and am coughing etc. (though trying hard not to cough, but as it goes with cough colds - my throat is irritated, so it's hard to not cough) Have a great week earth!
