HE Constantly Watches And Listens over for HIS Spoken and Sung Holy Word that HE May Perform that Spoken and Sung with Only Mustard Grain of FAITH!

Do you have dreams that you have yet to see materialize?

Do you know that HE yearns to give us not merely mediocre fragments of what we really desire...

HE yearns to hear us both ask for our true heart's desires.... Remember HE is The Creator and HE planted those desires, hopes, and dreams within each one of us before we were born...And thus HE knows what HE has planted within each and whom...

HE knows when each of us will stand or sit before we actually do!

HE longs for us to  come running to HIM and discuss with HIM each plan we consider...which dream we will endeavor first...
And HE wants to Himself lift and launch us through all highways and byways...  HE wants us to embrace HIM along every part of our days and nights that HE may prevent our trails of challenges from becoming trails of tragedy....

But rather HE through us  and for us triumphs every time....
When and only when we invite HIM to be with us at all times... asking HIM and trusting HIM to do all things in, through and for us!

When we sing our dreams from morning till we lay our heads upon our pillows to sleep....
HE makes those dreams not merely possible, not even probable....

But HE is the only Dream-weaver and Maker... HE Makes our dreams REALITY!


Blessings!

How is It That Even Today Every Where In Our World There Exists Rich Man Vs Lazarus Poor Man Realities?

Why do the Social Injustices around the world  surprise or shock anyone these days!

GOD is very angered but certainly not surprised!

So many scriptures both Old and New Testaments warn us of the dangers of becoming self righteous through greed and abusing those who have less than us.

Those of us who have plenty....  more is and will always be required and expected of them...

GOD has already begun turning money tables and hospital corners upside down through chastising those who have been and continue to abuse the power of either their wealth or position or both...

Many have not only ben chastised some HE has already cut down!

So take a good look at yourself...  for time is running out for all of us to re-align our choices and behavior to what GOD comands of us all... begining with obeying The Ten Comandmants and repenting Sacramentally of ones sin...

Those of you who still think there exists no heaven, nor hell...  I pray you think again and Call out GOD's Name in true sorrow for your wrong doings....  HIS Mercy endures forever...

Though you must choose HIM before your last breath!

AS RAIN FALLS NOW FROM THE HEAVEN"S SO DOES HIS WORDS SPOKEN OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND MINE EITHER KILL LIFE OR PRODUCE LIFE.... IT"S OUR CHOICE

My husband and I have awakened to the delightful sound of rain falling from the heaven's upon the roof and screened porch awnings and sidewalks.

 A spitter spatter.... and a trickle down the windows~~~

Blue eyes may cry in the rain~~~  but I rejoice~~~
For it is HIS seed that isa falling refreshing the parched earth down here in Florida where we have big bright juciy oranges dangling from thr tree in the back yard...

Though in Concord, Huntersville and Charlotte North Carolina where we left behind last month~~~

They have white snow on the gound and are down into the teens...
There at least now nothing can be green~~~

They for a while cannot see the new life that our rain here is sprouting...
They would be most happy to wake to what we have here....

Yet here there are some who will not go out and let HIS quenching waters kiss them...

They stay indoors saying it's cold and dreary....  they do not know what cold is~~

If only they would embrace their own circumsatance...
Embrace whatever befalls you... leaning not on your own understanding~~~

Awaken ole sleeper and arise from your restful sleep...
A new day has begun....  What it will be will depend on what words you choose to speak from your heart~~~

Say it'sdark and cold~~ think I'll go back to bed~~~
And you will miss out on HIS Blessings that are falling to wash you clean of painful memories... and the chanceto shake off the old~~~

When you choose to rise singing Joyfully to HIM~~~
"Thank you Lord This is Your New Day That You Have Made and I Rejoice That You are Raining New Life Into My Heart!"

With a SonShiney Smile on your Face and a Song in Your Heart~~~     
          There is No Limit to Where HIS Joy Will Take You Upon HIS Eagles Wings~~~

All Because You Chose not to Cry, Complain and Remain~~~
          You Sang and Continue to Sing and So HIS Joy Will Always Fill You Overflowing Into Others and HIS Rain Keeps Renewing
       Everyone In Your Midst Because HE Reigns In~~~                       And Through Your Heart!

EstherStephanada Singing HIS Blessings onto you!

THERE IS NO DARKNESS WHERE THERE IS LIGHT~~~ HIS WORDS ARE EVERLASTING LIGHT OF LIFE!

Making HIS Words our own.. we can assure ourselves not only hope~~~ but
WHOLENESS!

When we choose to speak Words that edify and build! Never speaking words of criticism which discourage the spirit of any folk young or old~~

Words of praise spoken all day changes a bitter heart of cold stone...
To hearts of flesh that love to love alone!

As cold hearts of stone are made warm, kind and loving~~~
Peace will flow though comunity to comunity~~~

All it takes to make a choice to return each unkind word spoken to both you and I today ... with Words of kindness which will create~~~

New hearts in our "ememies around us" and soon and very soon we will be
enemy-free.... thats right! HIS Word promises to make our enemies our footstools~~~

But HE can only do so as we give Love in spite of unkindness and soon and very soon
There will be no more crying... no more pain.... for all broken hearts will be made whole~~~

Because you and I choose to LOVE!

OUR SELF EMPTYING COMING TO COMPLETION and THROUGH OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD OUR WORLD and LIVES ARE RESURECTED!

What was our house is no longer ours!

We have obeyed GOD!  We answered HIS call>>>  HIS Summons "Will you leave all behind if I but call your name?  Will you come and follow me and never be the same???  Will you...

And we said yes!

We have laid all things...  emptied ourselves and our house through bankruptcy, as GOD directed us first on Holy Thursday, when we aggreed to walk away....

And follow HIM..  Billy realized to short sell we must find our own buyer which is impossible for an unsalable house in "Hidden Valley"  Our Prayer then became:  "Lord we are willing but not able...  BUT You are Willing and Able to Do ALL things!!   SO Just Do It!!  Make it happen!
Next day we had a free consultation with an attorney on an unrealted matter...  a debt that someone was trying to collect from us that was not ours, and another that was ours who we wrote to try to make an arrangement...  but instead... they filed suit against us!

As soon as my eyes met the eyes of this attorney....  the Annoining of the Holy Spirit fell.

We were up front and honest that our house had been on market for sale since December.  He asked where it was located.  Billy said over me not wanting to be completely honest: "North Charlotte" 
Since GOD has been dealing with my obedience to Bill instead of HIM...
I said loudly "Let's be completely open and honest HIDDEN VALLEY!!!  I told him how we bought what we could offord under duress of his tumor...

The young God fearing Attorney said "Instead of having me go after these thugs the way I usually do, let me do a bankruptcy for you, put your house in it and walk away!"

This was GOD's Answer to our prayer the day before...  "GOD we are willing but not able!  But You Oh GOD are willing and able to do all things!!  DO it & make it happen!!" 
And so HE has....  Our day of formal emptying was October 28, 2009.

We last slept there Sunday, and as I type this a few good men who were on retreat with Bill in August at our church are moving the final items out ...  Yesterday I say with JOY was my last time on Burroughs Street...

 The house has served it's purpose as a place for Billy to recover from surgery in 2007 and only GOD could have ever devised a plan such as this one.
Man makes HIS plans and GOD places our steps...  but Only if and when we let HIM.

We know not where we are going, but we fear no more!  For GOD has released us from Heavy bondage and in HIS Palm we always are!
HE carries us in HIS Palm as HE Holds us to and in HIS Heart...

We need not know anything...  FOR we belong to the Only ONE who knows all !!
We have taken a room which we can afford

We took a room which is safe which we can only afford till Wed. To wait upon HIM for further instruction...
We have a PO BOX which is bellow  but I know not how far away we will have to travel to find another...

So we may at times,not get to check that box very often.  It is as follows: 
Gustavson
PO Box 6235
Concord NC 28027

But those who lay down their lives for their spouse or brother...  Will not loose their life but save it and be raised up!

Likewise, those who leave all behind to answer HIS summons to follow HIM... Will never be orphaned but The Heavens WILL be opening SOON!!  For we have done our part with FAITH and now we must only wait upon HIM!!
Through Obedience to HIS WORD HE Turns our Grey skys to Blue...  our Tears into Dancing... our sorrow & pain into Joyful Laughter...  Our Strength is Renewed for we never become "Unglued"  HIS JOY Cometh Every Morning ans whenever we call Out HIS Name...  For Our Hope Remains in HIM who never changes....
and as we follow HIM it is we are carried Singing... in HIS Mighty Strong Arms...  AS HE turns the World with HIS word in HIS Time!
Amen & Alleluia!
EstherStephanada!
Amen! Amen! Amen! and Alleluia!!

USCCB - The New American Bible

USCCB - The New American Bible

It is sad that today there is so much false doctrine taught and preached by both Protestants and Catholics alike.... but one can go to both this site and to:
www.ewtn.com and read both the scripture and the Catholic Catechism...
and on EWTN's ste one can go to ASK A Theologian and get any questions explained!
We really should not be suprised, for Jesus himself warned us that there would always exist those who wear fine robes, love front row and platform seats ... who wash their outsides but their insides make GOD VOMIT!!!

Can you imagine making GOD VOMIT!!

HE also warned to beware of false prophets and we would recognize them by the fruits of their lips!! Their words!

They make what they say "SEEM GOOD" Well the apple "Seemed GOOD" to Adam & Eve! But eating it their sin was the refusale to Depend upon GOD for all things... Their refusal to Trust GOD's direction and wisdom!

It was a CHOICE that "MY WAY IS BETTER THAN YOUR's LORD!"

So anytime you or I hear anyone contradict themselves even over... or especially over a silly matter... Realize that if a person cannot even be honest about something of little or no importance, that they can NOT Be Trusted in more serious matters!

SO RUN THE Other way!
What is True, Honest, Kind, Sincere... Love and cherish these...
For we All Sall Perish of lack of Knowledge...

What we do not know CAN HURT US!

HE gave us HIS WRITTEN WORD to guide us... that we will know and recognize the Truth which is GOD and is from GOD!

And HE Does Turn the World with HIS WORD In HIS Time!!
Batteries not included... (None are needed!)
GOD BLESS YOU!
