Father God - Strange things are afoot. The air is foul, the food is tainted and the skies are polluted. Lovers of self slither towards more unholiness. The lies are piling high. Murder and mayhem crowd our streets. We ask for supernatural protection, in the name of Jesus. Keep us safe from the thieves, the snitches, the prideful, the filth pushers and the body poisoners. Protect us and our beloved in our comings and goings. Bring us home safely each time, and prepare our nights to be restful as we place our trust in You. Help us to do things for Your glory. Give us the ear to hear Your callings, and the courage to be obedient to You. Let our spirits be so in tune with You that we immediately recognize the enemy’s trappings. But, allow us mostly, to immediately act to help those in need. Ready us to share the Hope that lives in us! Let us be Your hands and feet, moving about to demonstrate the love of Christ. Remind us we are to have a servant’s heart. Give us understanding of the Resurrection Power that flows in us, and show us how to pray mightily in the name of Jesus! To call down demonic strongholds! To speak healing! To claim what is rightly ours as Your children! Move, Lord, across the nations. Humble leaders and bring down the haughty. Let the world see You, clearly, undeniably, completely. Change minds and renew hearts. Bring reconciliation among friends and family. Purge the unclean from the churches. We need You! Every hour. Every day. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus.

And a Happy 8th Birthday to our little girl 😊

Hope y'all have a wonderful birthday!

I am powerless. I cannot make wise decisions, choose trustworthy friends, or cast my self-made crown at the feet of Jesus. Without the Holy Spirit. If it came through me and it’s wonderful, helpful, or thoughtful that is the LORD. So what does it mean when a post, a topic, a word becomes controversial? I‘m not sure. I have guesses, but speculations move us away from seeking God’s answers and assumptions distract and derail. I don’t know about you, but most of my assumptions are closely followed by regret. So I work on those unconsidered counter-reactions. This is one of the reasons I spontaneously started ThinMint: I simply wanted others to see things from a different perspective. To see the good, the beautiful, the funny, the happy. I want my friends to know without any doubt, that God sees you. He loves you. His thoughts are of you. He does have plans for you. Breathtaking plans that reveal His glory! This means the plans He has for each one of us will not look the same. However, the core of His design is the commonality for humanity: a relationship with Jesus Christ. How we get to Jesus, how we connect with Jesus, how we touch the hem of Jesus, how we express our love for Jesus will differ. Yet the authenticity of our adulation is harmonious as it reaches Heaven. God is not shy. He can meet us in the lowliest and loneliest, in the messiest and meagerness, and in the fragileness. He is there for us in the bleakness and rawness. He can meet us in a crowd of thousands or in the solitude. He will draw us to Him through others, through music, through words, through art, through reading and hearing, through sharing, and eating. He decides the how and when to minister and nourish. And it’s wondrous! 😊

I can’t help but wonder if sharing this perspective would have eliminated uncertainty. Is it possible that we have become so jaded that we look for offense and lies where none exist? And if we are jaded... Then we must shelter under the wing of the Most High to retrieve our faith.

Hello sweet friends! One of my admins reminded me that I may want to share the Truth Social account I have in the event something wonky happens with Telegram (and/or 10 Days of Darkness). This is me and I posted this evening: https://truthsocial.com/@ThinMint2

From @Dana: We must walk in HIS truth. Not our truth or our understanding of His truth. HIS truth. He is Truth. The cross represents Christ's crucifixion. It does not matter if the cross is upside down sideways or right side up. It is still HIS cross. Satan tries to twist it IF WE LET HIM. I won't bow to this. I will not let the enemy have the cross. It is our reminder that he already defeated satan. Did you know most witchcraft occurs when we look at the cross? That is the work of the enemy. Hold on to the cross and remember it belongs to Jesus! Come eye to eye with HIM hanging the cross. There is power and healing there. We are all open to discussion here. We have to be open to being wrong in what we discuss too. I have wasted a lot of my precious time and talents focusing on these types of things. I call it my pharisee era. God wants us unified in HIM, seeking HIM, encouraging each other in HIM. I encourage you to focus on the worship of our Father not the shape of the stage or the type of building. God shows up at brothels and prisons every day of the week. He is in the dirt and grime of all sin calling us out. He is not neatly packaged or at Holy venues. HE IS I AM.

-5- That’s what He does. He leaves the ninety-nine not to capture and rope, but to save and benefit. And He does it even though we’re the ones who drift away from Him because of our frivolity and little self-indulgences. His voice is so compassionate, His mercy ready, His attention thorough and personal. A unique thought struck while reading the first part of Psalm 5:3 one day. “My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O LORD.” Because of our love for Him, for His goodness, for His faithfulness, He should be the first One to hear our voice in the morning. A simple, heartfelt, “Good morning!” Better yet a, “Thank You!” because He gifted the day to us and He’s in every moment of it. It is a resolve and an immersion for the One Who loves you enough to send His Son to leave the ninety-nine. The very thought of that sacrificial Love steadies the heart and settles the mind! Above all, Him. Less of me, more of Jesus. Our voice given first to Him in the morning is an unflinching love we can cheerfully present Him.
