Use your signals for the love of Pete!

This happened at the DMV and I bet they got their license.
This wont be spiritual so stop reading now if you must.
Ok, I have come to a conclusion. Salinas has the worst drivers in all of the United States. Today my windshield is iced over thus taking 5 whole minutes off of my departure schedule. Never a good thing because I have this down to a science. I leave by a certain time and we get to where we are going on time.
Sooooo after my car defrosts I go and barely into my journey to Analycia's school there are all sorts of people making illegal u-turns to drop their kids off at another school on our way causing major hazard and utter ciaos. I just shake my head and drive on. Then I get behind some bobo lady who wants to go 20 mph in a 35 zone. She is just scooting along while I pray for her to get out of my way. Mind you she uses NO turn signals as she is crawling along. She decides to come to a complete stop and then proceeds to turn ever so slowly into her destination. Why does every car have signals?? It is the law right? Use them for the love of Pete people!!! Oh I thank God for the Holy Ghost at this point because I wanted to give her the ol your #1 lady signal.. AAaaaahhhhhhhh! I finally get to drop my precious lamb at school and she runs to her class and slides through the door just as the bell rings!! Yes!! Victory.. She beats the bell.. OOOhhhhh Lord I think as I walk back to my car. I drive away thinking salinas is full of lame drivers and wonder if I am the only person here who actually knows how to drive and use my turn signals. I watched some old man driving with his wife yesterday weave from one lane to the other cutting off cars that were zooming around them with their windshield wipers on. It was sunny!!!!! I thought come on why does this guy have a license? He is going to kill someone or himself and his dear old wife. I am utterly disgusted. Anyone can drive on our roads even if they cant drive. Sooooo to top my morning off right? Im turning onto my main street to get to work and here comes a truck merging right into my car.. I slam on my breaks and honk the horn and they look over and are like, whoops! I gave them the thumbs up sign for good going idiot!! Couldnt help it I had to at least show them my thumb. Id had it. Then to add to my drive of dread my horn continues to blow at random after I hit it really hard when I slammed on my breaks. So these idiots in the truck are thinking this lady is crazy while Im driving behind them after they nearly hit me with my horn blowing off and on. I finally gave it a hard whack and it stopped. Yeah that was my start of the day!!! Doesnt get better than that.. So I just thanked God that I didnt get hit and I didnt give them a hand gesture to cause regretful repentance and no one was hurt. Then I laughed at my dumb horn. That was pretty funny after the dust settled, but Im still bothered the DMV actually keeps giving some of these people THE PRIVILEGE to drive when they obviously CANT! ok.. I feel better now. I think everyone should get tested by three different people at the dmv before you get the license. That would help weed out the some of these people who shouldnt even be driving a big wheel let alone a car. I loved my big wheel and I drove good back then too. Hummm. Thats my soapbox theory of the day.

Prayer for a Pentecostal Hero


Please pray for Sis Nona Freeman. She is my hero and I got word this am she has endured a stroke and is in ICU.. Sis Nona is someone I have grown up loving and admiring all my years in this truth. She is who I want to be when I grow up.. Please pray for her family during this time.
I pray God's perfect will be done. She has given so much to our organization and if Jesus is calling her home No one deserves to meet Him more. If God wants her to continue her journey then I pray for a complete healing and comfort to reach her.

Moonlighting with Jesus

Soooooo Ive waited to share my moonlighting story with you.. I took a second job about four weeks ago. I was kind of embarrassed because it was a waitress position. My primary job gave me almost three weeks off and I needed to supplement our income so I asked my husband if I could work 2 or 3 nights just for a month.
He wasnt real thrilled but I can be pretty tenacious when I want to do something. He agreed for a month. Anywho, I was there and the first week I asked myself silently what am I doing here? Then I heard that still small voice speak back to me and say you are here for her. I looked over and there was one of the other servers standing there. God began to speak to me about her situation. He told me she was sick and God told me He wanted to heal her.
Later that week I kept seeing her and I didnt say anything. The following week she and I were working together and we started to talk and I asked her if she believed in God. Her eyes lit up and she said yes so I proceeded to tell her I hope you wont think Im crazy but God told me you were sick are you sick? She said yes I have an eating disorder. I told her God had told me I was there for her. I asked her to come to church with me and told her when we pray for her God was going to heal her. She started to cry right there at the station and she told me last week I was on my knees every night I cried myself to sleep and told God to please help me. She said she felt so hopeless and begged God for His help. I told her well He heard you and Im sorry I didnt tell you this last week when God was speaking to me about you. She just looked at me and said wow! She hugged me and she said she will come to church the very next sunday she has off. So please pray God opens her sunday schedule because she has a miracle in store. I had to ask God to forgive me for waiting instead of pulling the trigger when God told me to.
Then Sunday night I worked and these two ladies came in and we got to talking and boy did we ever talk about Jesus. At one point I sat down at the booth with them just enthralled in our conversation. Its not like I cared if they fired me my month is up. lol Anyhow these ladies lost their homes to foreclosure and one of them did missionary work in hungry.
One of the ladies started to cry at the table when I was telling the other lady God had something better for her and He didnt intend to leave her high and dry and it was no accident they came in and I was their waitress. It was just awesome the whole thing. They are supposed to come to church this Sunday. They said they had been wanting to go to church and talked about it and didnt go last sunday as they had planned and they would love to come and visit our church.
One of them asked me after I told them the name of our church and saw me with my black skirt (the only girl in a skirt) Do I have to wear a dress? I said come as you are. I walked away so humbled to be used of God in a waitress position God has literally pointed people out to me to witness to. So I have. My husband said to me Sunday, honey you need to quit that job and I told him babe God is using me to reach these souls in desperate need of him. I told him they cut my hours to one night a week. Hey thats one or two souls a week. Plus tips!!!! lol I was embarrassed about my moonlighting job. Im not anymore. I know its only for a season. But hey you can reap a harvest in a season!!!! This ones for you Bro Omar and my wonderful husband, "THATS AWESOME!!!!!!! So you can say my second job is soul winning. Ill keep doing it til they fire me for serving Jesus with the food.... Ha!

The Best

Happy New Year Time has flown by for me. I may stand the risk of sounding like a broken record but, I have to say I have such an awesome pastor. Yesterday we had a communion service and on our way to church I was talking with the Lord and praying for my family silently. God began to talk to me about how much He loved me. He told me Noel if my church could ever get a revelation of my unconditional love it would change their mind set. I was thanking God for being so good to me and I wondered how He could love me after all the wrong choices I make and how much I fail Him. He just said to me there is nothing that will separate you from me. He said to me if you decided to walk away today My spirit would grieve for you and I would still see my one sheep was missing from the 100 I would have 99. I started to cry because I realized I dont and never will understand the love God has for me. That was His point to me sunday morning. He said His love can reach through the faults He can reach through all the mistakes and all the regret and all the hurt and all the pain and anything else we struggle with He can love us through it all. He told me I love you and He told me He loved my church. He said if my church could ever get a revelation of my unconditional love it would change them. He told me He performed the ultimate act of Love for us. It was so beautiful. My pastor said yesterday among other great things, God loves you and that is profound He said. He didnt know how true that one statement rang true to my heart after what God had spoken to me. I feel like our church has found favor with God. When God told me how much He loved our church I cant explain the Love I felt all around me. It was so comforting and real. During the service I could feel such a powerful touch of Gods love all over me. We had foot washing and I had the privilege of washing Sis Patricia Hurst's feet it was such a beautiful experience. I prayed a double portion of Gods anointing over every aspect of her life. I felt like God heard my prayer and poured an anointing on her. I cant wait to see God use her as He has told me He plans to. God has such an awesome ministry birthing through this couple. It is huge. I saw Bro Gary talking to huge crowds of people. I just cant wait to see the fruition of Gods promise to them. I love my pastor and his wife. They are just such a blessing. My pastor when he preaches is just the best. I have to say the best Ive ever heard. I have heard a lot. He is just the best and that best comes from a good mother and a great wife. Great men of God are made from great prayers. God gave us the best... Well God bless you all. Please dont be offended Im sure you all have great pastors to. I know you do I just have the Best.. lol Happy New Year....
A SIDE NOTE ON FOOT WASHING:
Sis Nona Freeman preached a message I listened to a few times on the spirit of foot washing. She said she wouldnt even attend a church that didnt participate in foot washing. I quote.. I think if someone as anointed as Sis Freeman makes that kind of a statement. Foot washing Must be Important. Im with her.... I really hope all of our churches dont lose the beautiful art of foot washing. I praise God we still participate in this ritual that blesses our soul and takes us back to Calvary where we belong. I really believe churches who leave this practice out for whatever reason lose their vision of Calvary. We must never forget ultimate act of Love Jesus endured for us at Calvary. We need humility in our churches. The spirit of foot washing Sis Nona talked about. That is the kind of heart that finds the favor of God. Thats how you get the BEST!!
