Oddly, I have been reading the book of Nehemiah while all this has been happening. You know, where the Israelites were working so hard to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after their return from decades of captivity. Lots of analogies pop out: how the wall wasn't rebuilt by just one team, but how many took responsibility for a section or gate, and how it all came together. How The Israelites were demeaned and persecuted by the surrounding peoples, to the point that everyone carried a weapon as they worked, and half the workforce stood guard. How they prayed to and trusted God to keep them safe all the while. Maybe we each need to see what part (however small) we can play in restoring this nation and play it? We definitely need to keep up the prayer, and, above all, listen for God's direction in what we should do. In the end, the walls of Jerusaleum were successfully rebuilt. I pray and feel this nation will be rebuilt, too.

This is an excellent comment from Regina to ponder 👇🏻

Q: Is Trump part of the Deep State? A: We don’t want to be duped or caught off guard if we can help it. I get it. Part of being a great researcher is keeping one’s emotions in check. We want unadulterated discoveries. Feelings can keep us from conducting determinative examinations and having rational conversations. When I am researching, I note the biases of the author. I look for reasonable explanations. I consider possibilities that were not on my radar or make me uncomfortable. But, I mostly look for patterns. Evildoers are going to evil. It’s in their very nature. And there’s always a tell because they cannot help themselves. Donald Trump speaks as a flawed, sinful man, just like all of us who fall short of the glory of God. I have yet to find his tell that shows us he is an evildoer. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump has a significant role to play and that God is orchestrating it all –not the White Hats, not Trump. If you’re worried about who Trump is –who any of the world’s stage players are, my best advice to you is not to worry. Our only viable weapon against those entrenched in the Cabal is prayers lifted in Christ’s name. Now, more than ever, we need eyes on Jesus. We may think that the times we’re living in is about Trump and the Deep State, but the most important thing happening right now is our relationship with the Lord. If we’re surrendered to His will for our lives, He will refine us and engage us to do the work that needs to be done. God isn’t just about geopolitical affairs, He’s writing the very story of your life. Every single detail of it. Trust Him above all.

Trump re-Truthed this

ALERT - the USDA wants you to REGISTER YOUR GARDEN. Their "people's garden" program is NOT your grandma's victory garden brochure. It is—in their own words—creating a registry and map of small-scale food production. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REGISTER YOUR GARDEN. No matter what benefits or enticements are offered. — "The USDA expanding its People’s Garden Initiative to include eligible gardens nationwide! "School gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural, suburban and urban areas can be recognized as a “People’s Garden” if they register on the USDA website and meet criteria including benefiting the community, working collaboratively, incorporating conservation practices and educating the public. Affiliate People’s Garden locations will be indicated on a map on the USDA website, featured in USDA communications, and provided with a People’s Garden sign. source IceAgeFarmer

Q: How do you see the spiritual "health" of USA from a biblical view? A. Sadly, the letters Jesus wrote to the churches in Revelation applies to the Church today. So many of us feel incredibly disquieted and sit unfulfilled in the pews with what see coming out of the pulpit don’t we? I ponder how “churches” may need to bloom inside our homes just as in the early days of Christianity. I’m heartsick by how many Christians have been pulled astray –willingly or not, by temporal traps. There is a reckoning coming, and there is going to be no stone left unturned. So, I also have hope. I don’t particularly care for the phrase, “Great Awakening” as I think there are better descriptions. What needs to happen, and what I believe we will witness, is a discomfiting, a weeping, a humbling, a contrition, a gathering, a healing. Pray for prayer. Pray that our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ hearts will be stirred, that they will join us in prayer. We need one another like never before. In authentic supplication and joyful worship God will bring it about.

Got a case of the sillies that must be shared. Kinda like cooties. Using the above picture, create your own meme -and share it in the comments.

Side note: I am supposed to be working on the good news drop, but I am in the silliest of moods thus I keep distracting myself. Reminds me of my school days trying to get homework done. Which I rarely finished. Sorry mom, it's true. I'd still like to think I turned out pretty smarted though. At this rate I cannot guarantee that it'll be ready this evening. Nor can I can guarantee that I'm not going to post tons of memes soon. Better eat a cookie and settle down...

Q: At any point throughout Felix’s recovery process did you have misgivings about him being unvaxxed and have a twang of regret? Or did you maintain the faith throughout the whole ordeal that your choice to be unvaxxed was the correct one? … I suspect the medical professionals you dealt with throughout that time may have tried to lay a burden of guilt on you at that time for lack of vaxxes, so did that possibly play into the situation as well? I've always wondered how all of that went down for you during his recovery process. A: Thank you for your question. Not once during our ordeal did I have misgivings about Felix not being vaxxed. The more I witnessed stuff in the ICU and the more I was on the receiving end of some of the doctors’ disdain for our choice to not vax, the more I was convinced it was right we did not get vaxxed. Oh, some of the doctors AND nurses did indeed make a stink about us not being vaxxed. But, the majority never mentioned it –directly to me, at least. They especially backed off when our attorney asked if unvaxxed patients receive a different treatment protocol than the vaxxed. Some nurses were mask Nazis, too, but the doctors never said a word to me when I didn’t wear one. As far as being on the receiving end of some mistreatment, being unvaxxed wasn’t the main cause of this unwarranted ire, in my humble opinion. There was an overall morose atmosphere, the nurses were weary, most of the doctors standoffish [and just like that, 2020 TikTok musicals were gone]. The times I was optimistic, bright, hopeful, the staff looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears. (Who knows? Maybe Eustachian Crustaceans™ are a side effect of having covid.) I’m a particularly stubborn individual, which for the most part, has served me well. (I’m sure my Mom has a different perspective of that stubbornness manifesting in my childhood!) The more someone tries to browbeat me over an issue, the more I double down. I’m sure I ain’t the only one out there like this … Er, right? We all know that regret is hard to live with so I do my best to avoid that pang. If you or anyone you love has guilt about not getting vaxxed, I would encourage you to bring it to the Lord. I would tell you that He does not heap guilt upon our heads. He brings things to our attention the same way a loving parent wants to correct and guide their child. The Holy Spirit will convict, but there is no condemnation for those in Christ (Romans 8:1). I would also add that this pandemic is an exercise of faith. We are not called to fear, but to hope. Our trust is in Him; not in unelected elitist tyrants dictating mandates of any kind. If one was vaccinated and regretted it, I would encourage them to seek the Lord for forgiveness if they went outside His instructions, for healing (emotionally and mentally as well) and to receive His grace and peace.

Q: Should we follow __________ and __________ ? A: You can find some tips about following/not following channels here: https://t.me/ThinMint2/4835 I have been feeling God nudge me onto a path that wasn’t lit up a year ago. And I suspect He’s been calling others as well for less “breaking news” channels and more eyes on Jesus. I hope we keenly feel God’s pull for us to focus on living and promoting a “Less Is More” approach, a life devoted to appreciating all the beauty He created, and to spending as much time as possible developing valuable familial relationships with those we love most. It’s getting rough out there, with some more roughiness* coming our way. Let’s surround ourselves with others who share our love for Jesus, who are devoted to spreading the love of God, who place their hope in Him, and those who know What Really Matters. Let’s make our homes a refuge of warmth and goodness, filled with love and laughter. Let’s be kind, good neighbors, and dedicated to God. *Made up word = cookie.

Q: Do you think we’ll ever see Deep State doing the perp walk? A: I do. Not because Q posts tell us this or the idea of White Hats is compelling, but because of what the Lord has to say about evildoers.

Have a fabulously delightful day!

Word for someone tonight: You are not protecting yourself from a terrible outcome by worrying or fretting about it. But there are some things you can do that really will protect you, and create a better outcome: Ask God how He sees the situation. Choose to agree with Him. Memorize scripture. Choose to worship. Thank Him for what He is doing in the things you can see and the things you cannot see. Picture a terrific outcome. Ask God what victory will look like, and ask Him if there’s anything you need to do to move out of His way. Yes, situations and moves and choices might be hard. But hard can be good. You were made to be one of the strong ones who can do hard things and come out brighter than before. 🔥

👇🏻 Another of Shannon's inspiring writings that is practical, succinct, down-to-earth, realizable 💕

cont'd God may have placed a calling on you to keep at it, to keep finding ways to reach others. If you’re not sure, simply ask Him! If He has not called you to this task then you should obediently step away, keep your eyes on Jesus and tell Him you want His hand directing your journey, His glory lighting your path. Remember, all of us need to take care of ourselves first. This isn’t selfish, it’s sensible. The storm is building and we need to be mentally, emotionally and spiritually dauntless to withstand it. To that end, we need to take the necessary steps to ensure we are ready because there are going to be family, friends and neighbors who will look to us. We need to be dependable, effective and even fierce in our resolve to secure liberty.* *It feels like there should be some music from a Mel Gibson movie playing Do what it takes to improve your mental, physical, and emotional stamina. Make an effort to mend a broken relationship. Improve your prayer life, connect with God on a deep level. Remove the things in life that cause you stress; minimize the impact of the things you cannot remove. Delight in the joys of living. Reflect on your blessings. Let me close with a post from NerdLvr who shared this a few weeks ago: “I had a thought this morning while communing with God. He doesn't need me to wake up and red-pill people anymore. (My family is full of people fast asleep.) He has asked me now just to simply love people as best I can. He will take care of waking them up. I just need to love them. It gave me so much peace in my heart knowing that the responsibility I carried wasn't mine to carry. It was God's. And I needed to have enough faith in Him to give that burden back to Him. Because He knows best what to do with His children. And if He cares enough about me to wake me up, He will do that for others too.”
