Narrative vs. Sovereignty

That was when I turned my back on nearly anything MSM and redirected my personal gaze.

While I was in the middle of that landscaping update, I started tinkering with seeds and trying to grow stuff. So while I was re-working the above – I also sorted through what gardening items may have been left from the 90’s as well as items I had saved over the years. Combined the two activities and I was starting to have a little fun.

The Sun felt good. I felt much better being surrounded by God’s creation than subjecting myself to virtual puppeteers of deception.

Instead of being semi-permanently glued in front of a Tell-Lie-Vision all day listening to “authorities” – with the intent to sow and spread nonstop fear, I decided to pause – and turn away from their social media matrix.

(Their “Plan”: “S(n)ow Fear, More Fear”)

In the time since, I have taken a long hard look at where we are ALL at. Some people are still very much asleep. I still see people wearing Mh-ask-s, but many are waking up regarding what we are facing.

And what we are facing is about their control versus God’s Sovereignty.

How Deep Is Your Love

Yesterday was the first day, in a long time that I sat down with my KJV and companion bible dictionary. I’ve spent so much time outdoors working on the yard and trying to create the type of garden that my Mom had, and the type that I long to linger in.

I guess that’s what makes this song by the BeeGees such a trip down memory lane. The BGees were one of the first groups I started listening to once I discontinued listening to elevator music. I was also privileged to see them in concert decades ago when I was on a cruise ship – and they happened to be on board traveling as part of the ships entertainment.

But the song touches on an aspect of scriptural truth straight out of the Old Testament. To me it rings of Genesis 1, the gentleness of Proverbs 8 & 9. The beginning of Earth and Wisdom’s Presence in Job 38. The Love Story throughout The Word

Momma told me before she died that she spent as much of her time working in the garden as she could, instead of in the house. Being out there helped her feel closer to God. I guess it makes sense. It’s no wonder she didn’t want to be around for the computer age.

I’ve tried to stop even repeating her sentiments about computers and technology, because wise as I know she was, I am mocked and ridiculed for believing she was right.

I used to think of myself as forever young and eternally 29 – but especially with the turn of events these last 3 years – I feel like time has not just accelerated but shifted into turbo speed. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me – but it feels like people don’t really want to talk anymore.

My Spirit gets heavier with each exchange and that’s why I’ve gravitated to the garden and plants.

It’s why moments like this, listening to How Deep is Your Love reminds me of what is ahead. What is to come – the Hope of Eternal Love and Peace in God’s Kingdom.

This message is so very well done. Thank you NJC and Prayer Warriors for your time and effort. I would love to know where this photo was taken – the background is beautiful.

Tending The Garden & Relaxing Sounds for Sleep

Greetings to one and all in Iesous name!

Yes, it’s been awhile. I have taken a long break from my desktop. In 2020, as summer started – I was truly tired of tell-lie-vision media and got myself outside.

Years ago, I had an interest in gardening (well, really growing). This time around, I took that a step further in ’20 and “demo-ed” half of my front yard landscaping – removed old dying bushes, a tree, roots, and old brick and concrete.

Effectively, I started from scratch. The gardening journey has continued since then.

I think (or hope) I inherited my Mom’s green thumb and her interest in plants – and especially flowers. By the end of a gardening afternoon (or evening), I am usually covered in dust, soil and sweat and very achy. I garden though because doing so helps me stretch – and that stretching helps my lower back which has bothered me for many, many years.

My lower back aches also affect my sleep. A couple years ago I discovered how much I enjoy listening to tuning forks and Himalayan Singing Bowls to relax and unwind – but most recently Elevated Nature Sounds has been a page I frequent for one specific reason: steady rain. She has published several versions (brown noise, white noise, etc.) but there is something about the Pink Noise that I keep coming back to.

I figure, if it helps me to relax, rest and sleep – maybe it will help someone else.

Hugs, Blessings and Sweet Dreams!
