A little bit of this and that, with a heavy sprinkling of humor along with gentle reminders of the good in life

Personally, I think as a nation, Trump should be calling for national repentance.

Democrats are more focused on targeting political opponents than protecting its citizens "If we are to believe the news, the district attorneys in Fulton County, Georgia and Manhattan will soon announce indictments of Donald Trump. The New York indictment looks especially imminent. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is hellbent on charging Mr. Trump. In fact, the New York City District Attorney’s office has been searching for any way to charge the former president since 2017. The investigation has poured over President Trump’s personal and business life. They’ve reportedly settled on charging Donald Trump for the non-crime of his attorney Michael Cohen paying Stormy Daniels settlement money."

The panic refers to the Deep State and those who blindly follow their antics. The panic is not for those of us who put their trust in the Lord 🙂 A possible Trump arrest has been brought up on this channel a few times: here, here, here and here. I have found that the vast majority of patriots quickly dismiss the idea -they won't even discuss it. My point has been: this possibility has not only been promoted by those who loathe Trump; but hints -huge hints, have been dropped by Q, truth seekers, and Trump himself.

Q drop from March 18 [2018] -same day as Trump announces pending arrest.

Aw, I wish Telegram bots were this adorable. So sorry that some of y’all have to contend with these obtrusive pseudo ThinMint bots. Yes, I do send messages, however it will be personal, and I will comment about something you mentioned in a comment. And I will always sign my real name. Remember how we sometimes need to be ridiculous? Sometimes we need to be over-the-top ludicrous! When life hands you lemons When Telegram hands you bots, be farcical! Need some inspiration? Check out Vince Guerra’s genius comedy: https://t.me/vinceguerraIV/2084 Or my feeble attempt at humor: https://t.me/shannonguerra/3920

Sometimes you just have to roll with the day you’ve been gifted. Sometimes you just have to be ridiculous. Like wear your pajamas all day. Sometimes you just have to take a break from work and goof off with those you love. Sometimes you just have to ignore the world and make plans for next week, next month and you know what? For the years to come. Sometimes you just have to cave and let tears of grief fall. Sometimes you just have to lament to God; tell Him exactly how and why you hurt, and ask Him those hard questions. Sometimes you just have to be still before Him. Imagine Him placing His warm hands on your shoulders and soothing your angst away. Sometimes you just have to let go or back off. Sometimes you just have to get it wrong. Sometimes you just have to admit you don’t have all the answers. Sometimes you just have to ponder that everything will be all right. Mostly though, you just need the love of Jesus. Chocolate and laughing helps. But, He makes living worth it all.

I recently went through some old photos to share with a dear friend when this one caught my eye. That's me in the corner. Holding the wall up. (I’m structurally helpful that way.) Hard to believe I was once timid. Even harder to believe adults trusted pre-school me to play Mary. Bet they learned a lesson! My how times have changed! This might shock you, but I'm not exactly a shy, quiet person. Friends, we might not be where we want to be, but we're not where we were. We are moving in God's direction. He wants to pull us from the safe and familiar hiding spot to a place where we stand confident and comfortable living His call for our lives. Be bold in your prayer requests and trust Him to make it happen.

-3- So why am I sharing all this with you? Because He knows us so very well. He knows we want to align our hearts with His, but we often succumb to the temptation of wanting to be right, to be in control, to be seen a certain way by others. Or we just want to indulge our feelings because it seems sensible in the moment. He knows and extends His grace. He knows and loves us. He wants us to do better, too. He wants to move us from a place where we lean into our misinterpretations to a place where we intrinsically follow the path He has laid before us. Our improvement is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t be discouraged when you fumble, stumble and grumble. Keep asking Him to help you with those human-y things you struggle with. He will honor your request to do and say and be better. And He can do it in unique ways. Like when you’re in the middle of a tempest He’ll send gentle breezes that feel like a blanket and lullaby.

-2- The Holy Spirit speaks to me: “Back off.” I pause, the noise in my mind quiets. I don’t even consider my options as I sometimes do, nor do I inwardly reply with my usual comebacks such as, “Seriously?” “Okay, but…” “I am supposed to…” “They’re wrong.” “Back off,” He tells me again, firmer, but lovingly, the same way your beloved Grandma reminds you to stay away from the pot of soup on the hot stove. As I stand still, the wind dashes across my face with a little more force, lingering a few beats before quickly fading. It takes a moment for me to sort out what really happened. When I realize what He just did for me, I smile. For years I have been asking the Lord to stop me before I do and say that stupid thing because I want to walk in obedience in the now, not seek forgiveness in the later. And He did help me! He spoke to my spirit so I would focus on Him, not on the human emotions baiting me to behave foolishly. I would have done the jig* right there if I knew it wouldn’t perturb the angry woman! *And if I knew how to jig

He Moves In Ways We Don’t Expect -1- I lean against the cold steel of the chain-linked fence. A cool breeze barely skims my face. I close my eyes and do my best to squelch the anger that threatens to engulf me. The woman to my left emanates hostility. She’s difficult to be around, interrupting me, raising her voice. I am supposed to be leading this meeting, finding solutions, offering guidance as needed, but the conversation is not flowing how I imagined it would. Not even close. Another breeze gently passes by and I marvel how sweet it feels against my face, no doubt made warm on this cool day because I am frustrated with the moment unfolding before me. I half listen to her speak to the other person attending this meeting as I wrestle the turmoil bouncing all over my mind. On the one hand, she’s not in charge and quite frankly, being rude. On the other hand, God wants me to apply patience and grace. The next breeze is a little more noticeable, like someone tickling my face with a feather. I push off the fence and look her way after doing my best to not even glance in that direction for the last few minutes. I’m deciding how best to move forward, away from this agitation that promises to explode and hurt many in its wake, when the breeze really catches my attention. The wind feels lively now as if it’s trying to distract me, the same way a yellow butterfly fluttering by would temporarily amuse.

Thank you for those who send me the kindest DMs. When you reach out to me it’s like a little ray of sunshine making it’s way through a gray cloud just so I can feel its cozy warmth. There have been a few private conversations lately that are inspiring (it’s a work in process) me to write something… The above post about a video, which at the core incites fear, is a good example of a crucial problem being presented in order to elicit a specific reaction. The post above reminded me of a DM I had with a kindly lady from Texas in which I shared: Some days I am oh so weary (and wary!). Staying consistent when the world is topsy-turvy is a goal of mine. I do not want to be caught in the ebb and flow of this world. That’s my advice for my friends, too. We are going to see an increase in ungodly behavior, instability, disasters and the like. Stand back to allow the crazy go on by. Stand back and watch God is going to do. Stand back and be amazed that in the midst of the dark clouds, His cozy Light will make its way to you.

We must guard what is allowed to take root in our minds and hearts.

When it comes to current events, sometimes we come across things that startle us, give us the chills, make us feel a little panicky. Someone brought a video clip to my attention. If you and I were sitting down for a warm cup of something (while eyeballing the plate of homemade cookies 🍪) I would tell you to remain neutral concerning incoming information 🙂 I’ll post the video I'm referring to and my findings in the comments...
