HIS JOY RAISES YOU & ME DAILY!!!

Expect You MIRACLE Today & Every Day or You Might...

2013-07-11T11:05:00.001-07:00

Only those who expect MIRACLES in every part of every day....live lives filled with MIRACLES and far more graces & Blessings than the average person alive on earth.

We receive what we we expect.

If you or I wake up anticipating bad news...

Guess what your phone will ring all day with problems.

For everyone who knows that Johnny or Jane expects days filled with problems....

Others assume that Johnny & Jane are exactly who they are to call & visit with every single delima that not only they personally encounter...

But recommend Johnny & Jane to each person they meet and greet along every single street whether in Ponchatoula Louisiana...

Or on the coast of Madagascar, Nigeria, Malawi, Egypt, India or Yugoslavia.

Earth geography never limits God's laws of deliverance, blessing or prosperity.

Nor is God ever limited by our circumstances.

We can always accept less than God's best and settle for what others are content with....

Or we can reach out for HIS greater gifts.

Jesus said: "Far greater things than these you shall do...

For I go to my Father at HIS right hand and anything I ask is mine anything you ask in my Name My Father & I shall do for you & through you!"

How Can These Catholics Unknowingly Live A Lie Confused about pro-life / pro-choice ...Abortion.

2013-07-02T04:44:00.001-07:00

Such persons are not merely confused by abortion pro-life/pro-choice matters.
This same contradiction floods every aspect of their lives...this is only one example.

I was wearing today a button pinned to my bright pink jacket that reads: PRAY FOR ABORTION TO END!"

At a Graduation lunch in a New Orleans Catholic Parish the Sunday following Father's Day 2013...I was astounded the responses I received & conversation it spawned.

I expect this kind of confrontation if & wear it to the grocery store but not to Catholic Holy Mass & to a party of Catholic Families at a Catholic Church.

I was told that "Even if I personally would not abort my child, I don't have the right nor do you have right to suggest to others what they should do!"

Well is preaching & teaching the Holy Gospel suggesting to folks a better way to live???

And so this statement contradicts the entire life of a christian for we are called to always live by the Holy Scriptures that say: "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!"

Let HIS life, HIS joy, HIS mercy which endures forever never cease from parting from our lips!

We are to be imitators of God who calls each by name and who speaks good things into being at all times....

We are to like God embracing all that befalls us with great FAITH...speaking hope to the hopeless and life into the dead!

I pray you see this contradiction that we all plainly see and hear all over where ever we go...

Maybe you never thought of in this perspective.

We All Can Receive MIRACLES and Be Vessels Through Which God Grants MIRACLES to Others

2013-06-26T09:35:00.001-07:00

Though we must not be afraid of what others will say or think,

Nor can we be controlled by other's opinions are talk of us.

We who desire to be chases down by both blessings and MIRACLES that never cease but only keep multiplying with our joyful smiles and laughter in spite of devils who seek and track us...

We must keep on keeping on singing regardless who is murmuring behind our backs.

As we heard in last Sunday's Gospel the Lord was not concerned of who what about who HE is...

And so shall we must be continuing to bless others with our smiles and songs...there will always be someone like our former next door neighbor Veronica on Alvin Callender Street when we with God were building our home...

She came outside yelling one day not able to understand how not even hers & her nephews hateful actions against us could not kill our spirits.

She came outside as I was singing new songs through joyful tears...tears that our neighbors were trying to stifle the rebuilding of our home.

What we had completed the day before our neighbors had punched holes into in the night...

But I sang new songs to the God above knowing HE who watches through the night from HIS throne up above not only saw the crimes against us in the night but had the power to restore not only that which the angry jealous locusts had stolen...

They who were filled with jealousy, anger and hate and have never been loved nor have loved themselves....

No different than the Ponchatoula local native neighbors who say out of one side of their mouth that they are going to build Ponchatoula into a thriving economic marketing business center, yet they tie up themselves in bondage that they cannot grow...

By shunning newcomers who choose to make Ponchatoula home!

No town or city will ever grow & prosper past the point they are today without welcoming new citizens not only physically into their neighborhoods, and into the community and church families.

Regardless how many families come and are shunned they will eventually move on in the same numbers or even more.

For every family and community has both sincere and insincere folks whom they call their own.

Those whose hearts are pure but were born within a thorny city among hateful tit-tat chatter boxes who love not...

Eventually these too will choose to move onto a better place where they will not be embarrassed by their previous associations whether blood or geographic.

No they will follow the lead of those who come full of life seeking to bless an entire community when they first arrived...but refuse to live an entire life time among grumblers and wishy -washy complainers.

As Joyce Meyer has taught over the years....one can choose to complain and remain and go around and around a same old mountain of a pill.

Or you & I and each of us can reach out and beyond our circumstances for another new dream...when others fight to long and hard resisting thy kindness and blessing...

As Jesus said: "Shake of their dust and move on..."

Such cities will never grow but as Sodom & Gomorrah will be your town or city who shuns the hearts who of those who enter bearing kindness and generosity of their grateful loving hearts...

Such a town or city will never grow but die from their own choices....their own deception...

The fruit never falls far from the tree and the selfish resentful hearts wither and never blossom but rather their self-righteousness they fatten and fluff and spread as an eagle spreads its wings...

Then they go around time gloating convincing themselves and each other that they together did a good thing.

A Warning To Everyone For When You Open New Online Accounts....Humorous Consequences That Can Make For More Dangerous Circumstances If Not Caught or Corrected...

2013-04-04T05:40:00.001-07:00

Anyone who has known my husband William and I for any length of time know that for my first 49 years of iife that I had physical tunnel vision for real!! Yes REALLY!

That I only saw a small portion of any one's faces at a time, and that I was raised as a sighted child because my parents would not acknowledge my challenges for they were ashamed of "who or what I was."

And that on the Feast of the Holy Family 2009 I received a Eucharistic MIRACLE in my eyes and have enjoyed given thanks & praise for nearly three and a half years of landscapes and full length drapes!

So I have done some amazing things for someone who literally at times could not see what was under her ow nose!

I graduated from Grace King High School without ever having read much with understanding.

To satisfy my mother I sat on my bed for hours just every once in a while turning a page....

But since what was printed in those books made no sense to me and I could not see...

That time was not wasted... for in my heart I was not in a chair at a desk nor was I lounged on my bed reading...

I was conversing with my Lord my God and your God...

I would ask HIM to fill my heart and mind with whatever I needed to know...to stay safe at home, school or on the school bus...

Walking down hills or through my neighborhood.

A friend who I had not been in touch with for quite some time sent me an invite to open a " LinkedIN " account.

Happy to hear from her I did just that thinking I could take my time that there would be no hurry to build a resume for myself and at a future date possibly this could help me grow a licensed business with income doing what I enjoy the most...free-motion embroidery, crochet and writing.

But what happened was as I opened this "Linked IN " account, I was interrupted.

And as always, I embraced my interruption... as you do too...

Took care of whatever it was my husband need that time....

I do my share of asking him questions that too for him are not at the best timing...

It happens in all marriages in all kinds of friendships...

There is no fault placing here... No anger or frustration but rather jovial laughter and entertainment...

Life is much easier when one can laugh at and with themselves...

But what happened since I did not stay with the program as I first began opening this Linked IN account was it automatically sent invitations to everyone who I ever wrote an email to from the first date I opened this email address. And not only to these who I possibly only wrote once ever, some were business inquires that I never thought about again in over 5 years.

Other auto invitations went to folks who I never wrote but their email address was attached to one of those cutesy poems with pictures many just keep forwarding and forwarding over and over...certainly none of these I ever thought would one day show up as "CONNECTIONS"

And since I at times post to my blogs not signed into blogger but from my email as I am doing now...

Linked IN posted connection requests to my blogs for about a 5th time last night.

So instead of going into Blogger and removing those comical posts "MrsStephanie............invites you to CONNECT" from my blogs...

I am leaving Linked IN right there...

Instead I will post this on all of them...

And make a game of it...

But it could have serious consequence when an unsent invite is accepted by someone who is worse than unpleasant.

I HAVE CUT OF several CONNECTIONS....some without any explanation.

Check your email contact list for many email systems save all information as your potential contacts even though you do not routinely write email to them nor they to you.

And you can possibly also have your account hacked into through these odd seemingly insignificant addresses that seem not worth even giving time to DELETE!

But do it! DELETE DELETE!

And when you open new accounts do not let systems access your contact lists, manually type the ones you want to communicate with the new account and you will have fewer headaches of SPAM JAMS...

And you will not have to check your new account more often than you would have liked to to make certain you have no spying new connections...that maybe unsafe for you...

As happened to me!

But the Lord will always keep us free indeed with out needs HE cannot nor will not meet...

And when the devil does raise his head....

Whether a cyber spyer...a marriage divider...or simply folks who some how did not learn or remember from Kindergarten how to introduce themselves and ask others their names....

I guess till Jesus comes back there will be those who try to force themselves upon others instead..

When anyone is rude, crude, or speaks with forked tongue...

Remember our Lord said to cut off the hand that causes us to sin...

Don't you wish that it was as easy to get rid of all of these....as pushing or clicking a DELETE BUTTON!

That you can join me...and come along the path of righteousness...
When you choose to let no man woman or child make you blue by their choice of attitude...

But instead plant a seed of joy & inspiration within all hearts that are bitter who you meet and greet along any street...

But especially those who are poisoned with self righteous anger..

Your songs of praise and Alleluia....
"HE has lifted me higher & higher...and made all things not merely possible...not even probable...

But reality for my William & me and for you too...if you will not only believe but sing out and even shout...
Hallelujah...HE has died and risen....giving me hope and new vision..."

Your new songs and mine will always bring joy and light to dispel all darkness & fright that tries to tarnish...
So come with me...singing...to the King of kings!

Amen Amen and....Amen!

The Lord Certainly is Not Happy Over Anyone Who Insists On Being Vulgar In Their Dress Language or Behavior....Can Expect to Be Caught On Camera and Become The Latest Uncovered Vilan On THe World-Wide Blogs

2012-12-14T05:07:00.001-08:00

The humor of other's theatrics they perform in order "to make sure that they are seen by us" is wearing off.
For since they do not introduce themselves like normal people but instead behave so badly that we cannot acknowledge nor condone their shocking acts..

They in their frustration are actually becoming criminal in their actions..

William & I have been thoroughly amused at the crazy behaviors of those who cut themselves loose...

Simply hilariously funny all that we had been folks do in both the Bohnigs and Winn-Dixie parking lots to catch a glimpse of the couple everyone is talking about...

He walks her in and asks for a sample which he blesses and breaks and shares with her. Then orders either only 2 or 4 slices of low salt turkey or occasionally ham...

with a deli salad and a sack of rolls...unless they bought the rolls the night before.

They like to hear my dearest call me: "My Sweetie-Pie" as he tenderly protectively walks me through the parking lot to our van shielding arrogant male gaukers from approaching me with their hands.

But these men & women who wish to have us as friends...they must change how they dress first before we will ever entertain conversation...

Instead of introducing themselves from a natural distance of a few feet away...

They have forced their way by confrontation...

Mary Ernst tried bull dozing us over with her shopping cart in the Bohnigs Super-Market and the big giant RED-Headed Roly-Poly always dressed in royal purple...at least one of her garments... has tried backing over me with her metallic colored small car.....more times than I am able to keep tract of....

But her venomous attacks come only once a week before the 5PM Vigil Mass!

I can understand why she is full of such rage...

She set her self up to be grumpy always by driving a vehicle that which the roof or ceiling is not tall enough for her.

She's a big big chunky woman...TALL but her gigantic abdomen weighs her UHGggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...

Actually dragging her upper body down several inches crunching over her stomach...

Honestly....I am surprised she can rise up to or for any occasion at all...

But why she didn't buy herself a taller car...

But frustrates herself even more each time she ever goes out doors.

I cannot ever imagine her choosing to walk instead of drive and ride....

Soon and very soon....she and the rest...if they change not their aggressive revengeful behavior against us or against any one within our presence they will eventually be caught on EstherStephanada's Camera!

And the only mercy they will be shown is to made the "Uncovered Villain on the BLOGS 5, 6, or 10PM NEWS"

Cameras ROLL'N

But w like you too who may have strange oppressing things in your life...we cannot allow such kumb skulls steal our joy!

We must refuse to be blue in spite of who rejects us or even tries to kill us...literally out of their jealousy.

When we keep on smiling, loving and singing....we give the enemy of God ingrown toenail on top of ingrown toe nail...

We must or be dragged into the pit of despair and hell with them.

So keep on singing!
Joy to the Lord!
Amen Amen Amen Amen and Alleuia!

Our Words and Actions Do Matter Always...We Create Our Enviroment Ourselves....So Never Complain to Anyone But Yourself!

2012-12-13T10:45:00.001-08:00

Regardless what your circumstances are...

For many things are out of our control.

We can accept that which we cannot change while choosing to speak only kind words that do not divide but lift high and heal...

Pure kind words that heal body soul and mind regardless how snoody and grumpy a rough stiff-necked one is to you you cany-can -can stead of returning his our her own jealous hardboiled..carborator chewing vulgarity back.

You can simply say as I have to such a prune: "Sory you feel so bad...hope your better soon!"

But never let such a snot drag you down from the clouds where you have flown upon HIS Holy Wings of fire...

Remember every man woman and child was created in the unique image of Almighty God and each one was given the ability to love...for love is what we were created for....and let not those who refuse to receive your love and return it...never let one of these grumpy grump bumps an a log get you down.

Tell them to wear blue without being blue..that if you do in spite of their behavior towards you....then they can wear blue without being blue or stewed and can change their grumps to a cheery mood and be included more often any where any time...

For a cheerful love giving one without an angry jealous spirit...

Is always more than welcomed but always sought after for their joy & laughter not only instantly fills any room...

But spills out into each one who in turn spills and spreads it in just as many directions an all have much affection for such a one who choose to never be blue nor let any lemon sour-graper

poison their dispostion, but rather simply blesses their day and moves onto meet and greet those who walk in shoes of peace and never folly.

Joy is a Fruit of Faith That Can Be Crushed and Squandered Dry By Believing False Teaching....How is it that the spiritually educated who lead us cannot accept that not all souls God has created will be in heaven? Why can't they recognize God's Wrath?

2012-09-10T09:59:00.001-07:00

HE came that you and I could not only have life, but enjoy life to the full!

Full cup that over flows in not nearly all that HE came and died for...but that we ourselves can be beacons of radiant love, hope and joy...

Fountains of blessing that both enters us and continually flows out into others and is received back multiplied!

But all these promises were given to those who live by HIS Commandments...loving kindly, keeping our oaths and our covenants and hearts we keep pure...

Recently in obedience to God I began a few new blogs to address harsh bitter attitudes that in the past lived among us, but were then the minority of society and usually they became the outcast.

But sadly today it is the opposite...the brash, hateful, unkind, harsh ones are the majority and when they encounter true kindness as Mother Teresa once wrote in a poem... They do not understand why anyone would love them....so they return hostility and hatred for the love they had hoped and possibly prayed to receive...

But their brash hardness of heart pushes away those who seek only to love them and be loved by them...

Then they say that there is no God for a God who loves would have answered my prayers.

And thus God's Holy Word is full filled again... "The sighted will be made blind and the blind will see!" Do You See What I see???

Hallo friends...I trust you all are okay after Isaac as we are....storms come to wash & cleanse the land of hate, sin that wicked or even those who consider themselves Christian but refuse to shake some form of Idolatry or sinfulness.

So I believe all of you are safe as we continue to be. In actuality storms come for the sake of HIS righteous ones who seek HIM with all their heart from morning till dark.....to wash away anything that does not belong in a Christian or Catholic's life.

Love you all,

EstherStephanada!

Not many, not even Church leaders want to preach the Truth boldly anymore!

They fear the rise of out rage of whose toes their words will convict.

But as Mother Angelica on her programs which began airing on EWTN in the 1980's always said: "We are all called to be great saints...Don't miss the opportunity!"

And as a small child in the 1960's I was told that I would be a great saint one day....and I had the Faith to say: "Whatever YOU say Lord!!! You KNOW EVERYTHING!"

Saints can never be silent...for by definition Saints are those who are bold to stand up for the weak, the poor and the trampled upon that no one else either cares about.

Saints are also the ones who refuse to talk focus on what they cannot do themselves or what they do not have and in spite of those who try to stop them focus on what God can and promises to do for them and through them regardless how many angry letters they receive...

Some so angry that they send through postal mail and do not sign them!

Saints are willing risk their lives for their own spouse, sister or brother in FAITH that HE will rescue them both...

and endure the hate and rejection of those who do not love, honor and cherish their own husband or wife as we do.

Today in a society where priests actually allow men & women to wear very tight vulgar fitting clothing on the altar reading the scripture readings of the day, creating a conflict of conscience within the hearts of anyone who tries to keep their thoughts absolutely pure...

More saints are needed to stand and speak up and let the heads and bodies roll where ever they may roll to...

And don't get frightened when they yell, scream, rant or rave that you have corrected them!

Let them squirm and squeal!!

When enough of us who want to remain pure while participating in Holy Mass press our Pastors to choose someone else to read who is addressed appropriately when a lector shows up in vulgar or revealing clothing...

It will happen!

And styles worn will change and become more modest.

But only if folks like you and me join and speak up!

So today write a letter to your pastor and let him know... and even better you can bring a petition to your pastor after having as many as you can from your community to sign it!

Friends go forth now and dare to live saintly....as all of us were created to be great saints...lets not miss this opportunity!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

We Can Rise Above All Circumstances...As We Choose to Speak Honeycomb Pure Words of Kindness!

2012-08-26T15:24:00.001-07:00

Every Catholic should know how to rise above all strife and any kind of oppression by speaking only honeycomb words of kindness and never bitter harshness.

All Christians who respect the Holy Word written within the pages of the Holy Bible should know well how to say what they mean and mean what they say...

Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no...without profanity!

This is integrity.

When anyone speaks profanity of any kind they may think they are "adding emphasis" to what they are saying.

They may think: "I want everyone to know I mean it!"

But in actuality they are exposing themselves to the quiet wise & learned their stupidity and that they are controlled by the evil one...the devil himself!

So when you choose to not become unglued when a ridiculous one blows some steam out of his our her mouth,

When you rejoice that this evil one has pointed him or herself out so that you can now avoid them...

Sing HIM new songs and HE will lead you along to a better place with others who belong to HIM...

And just as you have now found this blog and can follow along with many who love and serve only The Lord...

Others too will be attracted to you because you not only seek HIM with a sincere heart..

But the support and friendships you both receive and share will soon multiply like yeast in a new bread and roasting marshmallows around HIS flaming fire of love...

Above and upon on eagles wings our hearts will soar together over tragedies into HIS triumph!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

Our Words Always Matter...For Every Word We Speak is Either Building or Tearing Down Something Good & Pure... Our Anger Could Be Building the Dominion of the Evil One WE are Complaining of and do not Even REalize It!

2012-08-11T06:41:00.001-07:00

Regardless where you and I are on any given day...each one of us are building contractors building something near us and far away...as far as our words travel each day!

Do You Let Other's Unrighteousness Slow You Down or Stifle Your Joy and Faith? Or Do You Rise Above and Shake Their Dust From Your Feet?

2012-02-09T07:45:00.000-08:00

Sing! Sing! Sing! Keep on singing Sisters and Brothers Sons and Daughters of GOD!

When you witness your neighbor or friend making poor choices that will hold them down low in sin...offer them a better life, but if they refuse to COME with you FOLLOWING the King of Kings...

Encourage them to change their vocabulary to no longer say: "Hey Guys!" But rather: "My sisters and Brothers" and instead of "Kids" "Sons and Daughters who you are!"

For we are all called to be imitators of GOD and no where in GOD's Holy Word did Our Lord say: "Hey Guys and Dudes RELATE and that'll be just great!"

No when he hung from the Cross HE said: "Son behold your Mother! Woman behold your son"

And in doing so HE gave HIS own mother to us that we can love her and be loved by her too;
That we not come unglued and let all fowl and evil stuff enter our hearts by copy-catting the "hip-hop fashionable talk" that includes you with the lost and forsaken instead of the inspired on FIRE REDEEMED ones of The Lord.

Yes we are a special group but no more special than the next.
Each of us was created uniquely in HIS Image with HIS Unique purpose not given to another.

And HIS body is broken and not complete if you are still on the smoother hum-drum old road more heavily travelled that leads to darkness and death.

The road to life may appear too tough to step onto....
But along it The Lord Himself is there to carry you over all bumps and incorrect road signs the devil lays to confuse,
But when one remains on the road that leads to death which is paved with self righteous glorifying applause....his our her life is actually far more difficult for Almighty GOD is FAR!!!!!

HE refuses to even look at these, if only they would ever place their heart upon their knees HE grieves... Hoping one day they will have true repentance of heart....and no more Lip Services for HIM to endure!

SOON VERY SOON He will say again: "ENOUGH ALREADY" and HE will cleanse the earth of them.

So be sure to be in the number when HIS Saints Go Marching IN not the football field of the Super Dome.... But through HIS Pearly Gates that thou with my William and me will call home!

I pray for you dear friends that you by your word choice will call yourself and many many others to a higher place where joy will never evade you and nothing will fail you...but HIS Grace is enough for you so wear blue without being blue...I do and so can you!

Amen Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

Regardless what Life or The Evil One Dishes Your Way...

2011-12-11T07:49:00.000-08:00

When you keep on singing new songs of praise to HIM even in the midst of trails of trials and tribulations which for HIS Righteousness are many...

HIS Joy will raise you daily as HE delivers you from them all, and
You will never slip fall or fail for HE will carry you along and high above the snares the devil lays.

And HE will entrap the wicked with their own devices they target your way.

So fret not, and when you see a so called prayer warrior of GOD who works all day in HIS Church whether cleaning or playing songs...

Who in their every day life speak sharp ridicule even as a defense mechanism....
One who lives With Him, In Him, and Through Him always will never defend Him or Herself.

For The Truth sets all free by simply being.

Yes many are falsely accused. Many have false testimony spoken against them.

Many suffer for HIS righteousness sake, even wrongly in prisoned even today.

Just as HE was falsely accused even put to death on a cross meant to punish wicked sinners even murderers...thus not one man, woman or child need be lost due to their own poor choices.

So today, if you have made poor choices or no someone who did you can help them learn a trade and be given a second chance at to be a productive law abiding citizen by donating to The Carpenter's Friend, a 501(C)(3) Non-Profit Public Charity who implements Carpentry Prison Vocational Programs within male facilities across The United States.

When I Feel That I May Want to Screammmm.... Can't Explain It.... I Sing!

When everything seems to happen all at once...
A plate is dropped, a glass kncoked off the table...

Our home seems a bit unstable...
Have no clue what to do...While some become unglued...

I open my mouth and...I cannot explain it...

New Songs come out...
For I certainly on my own never have a clue what to do....

I sing New Songs to YOU OH Lord...for if you don't mop up these...PLEASE...
I simply have not the ability...

And when I sing...laughter always rings out through our house and home...
And frankly when no one's back flares...

Rather laughter is shared....The house becomes spotless without me touching a cloth, a mop or a broom...
For when all choose to never fall into complaining remaining rule...as the fools...

Life becomes not a drudgery but we are entertained by our brood.
What Joy and laughter does for our hearts...all begun with a simple New Song we all can choose to sing...and fill our hearts with what is pure from above!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

When Da Blues Try to Come Over You...Choose to Sing a Higher Note...

We can all find something to complain about...that takes no effort at all...but will cause you to fall....and maybe...

Just maybe... you might not be able to get up!

The better way is to stand on HIS Word For HIS Righteous ones shall never slip fall or fail at all...

And when they are pushed down HE sends HIS Angels to catch them...

We have been very lonely since leaving Louisiana and coming to North Carolina...it has been rare to find even one soul to genuinely return our bright SonShiney smiles...

Most have an attitude! And it's not grattitude!!!

Though because my darling personal elder in heaven's gate...my Billy-Jacob and I both refuse to join in with the drumdy drum glum group...

But have chosen to keep right on singin and a smiling!

GOD has rewarded us finally with some new SonShiney smiling faces at the Cabarrus Senior Center each weekday at Senior Lunch....

Today they had a beach party far from shore not any sand or water but we made waves when we took to the dance floor...and my precious one led me around a jitterbugging and a cha cha chain...

Put smiles on faces who may not have smiled in years... It is each one's choice to be blue or cheer!

HE is raising us without fuss and HE will you too....Keep on smiling and you'll keep rising and Da blues will never come to you!!!!

Regardless How Difficult Others in Our Lives Can Be...By Our Own Choices We Need Not Let Them Drag Us With Them!

If your neighbors on either side of you like your family criticize you...

Most often it is because they are jealous and angry that you have made better lifestyle choices!

They most likely will never admit it since doing so... They must admit they made poor choices previously.

Weird how some will remain living within the boundaries that their bad choices have bound them into.
Instead of laying down the past and making new and better choices...possibly embracing the choices they see you or I have chosen.

Why you may ask? The answer simple...not many will humble themselves and admit you or I chose better!

Some will arrogantly remain standing within their own past choices....while waters rise around them and sickness haunts them...they will never see had they chosen differently...

Had they been genuinely generous and loving....had they loved freely and joyfully... not begrudgingly...

Had they never tried to manipulate but used their gifts to be a blessing to all whom they are in relationship with;
Then they would be re-filled and would not want for anything...

HIS Joy would raise them over and over again daily...!

Regardless What Tries To Drag You Down...SMILE! SING New Songs and Shout to The LORD!

When we sing and shout to the Lord praise regardless what or who tries to chase us...to make us blue...

We never be blue, but wear blue...and keep on singing and soon and very soon...
Your dreams will be made true...

For you refused to pout or sulk...so HIS Joy could lift you up....

Higher and higher...upon HIS fire!

HAVING A GREY DAY... OR FEELING BLUE? YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!

2010-05-26T12:35:00.000-07:00

To Be Blessed in the City; Blessed in the field; Blessed Going Out and Blessed Going in...

To Be Joyful from Sunrise to Sunset is a choice each one must make from within...

Themselves and for themselves... though Our Lord promises all of us good things...

It is up to us to gather them in... and take possession of each and every gift!

We must not just do this in our mind, but it requires an acion on our part...

In each situation that action required maybe something different... for us it meant having the house we live in...

Blessed by our priest and the demons had no choice but run out...

Run far far away for we Blessed this land in HIS Most Holy Name and no man who is not peaceful and loving can enter as long as HE and we are here!

For HIS Firelight of HIS Glory dispells all evil that is among us... and

As we choose to give away our bright SonShiney Smiling hearts each day we can thank HIM that HE has never installed a Voicemail System in Heaven...

Never has never will...
But HE WILL Raise you Daily as you purposely sing New Songs to HIM each morning as you open your eyes the first moment and HIS Sonshine shines upon you!

HAVE YOU EVER HAD THINGS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL TO KEEP YOU FROM GOING TO SLEEP WHEN YOU WANT?

2010-05-13T05:32:00.000-07:00

In today's society of rudeness... others forcing themselves ... their will upon others every day...

Many folks do not care whom they attack, disturb or wake!

Some because they never found who they are in Jesus Christ... they in their emptiness and feeling insecure, choose to play loud noises as they drive through otherwise peaceful neighborhoods.

Those who choose to be a disturbance just because there is no one who can stop them...or so they think,
Their behavior and screaming name calling says nothing about those they oppress and wake!

Rather their choices of behavior and attitudes speaks volumes about themselves, their upbringing, and their lack of not only moral values...

They lack self respect and in their own hearts see themselves of having no value!

When all return unkindness with a smile and a prayer for the one who treats them with hate...

Returning a smile for every scowl received...
Refusing to let a lost one steal one's Joy...

When you and I raise our sleepy heads with a smile and a New Song,

Trusting Our Good Lord to carry us along....
HE watched us all night long and knows what we lack...whether enough sleep... self esteem...

HE knows what HE has instilled into us already...
And what is to come...

HE has plans Great plans for each of us and HE will give us whatever we need as we need it and no sooner....

Have no fear for though HE is never early,
HE is also never late!
And if you like me this morning have risen without proper sleep...

Let HIM do your heavy lifting, tell HIM not only on mornings such as now...

But every time you open your eyes raise your head with a smile and Sing the New Songs HE will give you when you open your mouth with Love...

Your works not only of today...sleepy days...
But every day to come;

Will be great works of HIS through you from above,
And fleshyness will never infect your soul's smile!

REGARDLESS WHAT TRIES TO MAKE YOU BLUE.... WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO BEGIN YOUR DAY SINGING NEW SONGS UNTO HIM... REGARDLESS WHAT SITUATION YOU FIND YOURSELF IN >>>>

2010-05-05T14:57:00.000-07:00

HIS Joy will raise you too...
       Then and only then will HE turn your mourning into dancing....

Because you chose HIS best part which HE yearns
    for all of us to have;
But Our Lord is The Highest Gentleman and will
     never force even Blessing upon us!

We must choose to be bright and in the PINK
          and not hummmm drummmm the blues!

We can choose to stay in the dark and mope...
        which kills all hope and dreams...
Promotes Screams, snears and chokes off life with
           strife and bitterness sinks in and for some here it is then all over...and 6 feet under the hills
           FOREVER!

Those who choose to shake off self-righteousness...
Who boast and find joy that they are weak and need GOD!

Those who are joyful they have short
         comings and they...
let HIM do it all for them and though them....

They are the ones whom the word stress never
           becomes part of their vocabulary!

For them if HE does not do itfor them and through them with ease...

They know it is not important to HIM....
         For HE and only HE is the Master Maker of all things! HE will never disaapoint HIMSELF...
         Do you think?
So if you begin your day with HIM and for HIM
         Giving HIM the Glory for everything...
Why would HE not complete what is most special
         To HIS own Sacred Heart?

And because we walk with HIm, and we talk and listen to HIM all day long in both HIS sunshine and tears...
     We never need to fear nor fret over anything we did not expect to befall us or behold us...

For HE went there before us preparing our way...

And if by chance you or I did not get something
         done that we had hoped...
We can be assured HE did not need it done today!

Look around and see whatever catches your heart's
        eyes may also need your knees!

Catch HIS Blessings!

EVEN IF YOUR ASKING: "IS THIS REALLY SPRING?

2010-04-25T06:29:00.000-07:00

Though deep into April...almost May and soon we will all celebrate Mother's Day!

and though we may not all have our own mother near...

Let me tell each of you Dears...

Each and everyone of us born on earth of any woman was created by GOD for God Himself to both Love and be loved by and to be Loved through all others ... we are all called to be sisters and brothers and Love the unloveable for HIS name sake!

No one can love unless they were loved first ...
So let us take that challenge and by giving away smiles instead of harsh stares to those who both reject us and are rected and subjected to ridicule...

We though deliberately smiling will turn the unlovely into blossoming Loveliness...

Then and only then will these April showers bring May flowers and not only Azaleas and Petunias...

But Sprouting smiling hearts finally blooming where they've been planted all their lives because you chose to pour out upon them Living waters!

God Bless All and May HE continue to raise you daily as you sing new songs as you lift your head from your pillow each morning!

EstherStephanada!

REGARDLESS WHAT TRIES TO BRING YOU DOWN>>> THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO LET HIS JOY RAISE YOU AND ME DAILY!

2010-04-03T14:04:00.000-07:00

Unemployed, your roof failing or the plumbing backed up...
Have no fear but cheer...
For when you and I refuse to let lifes attacks hold us down or back...

But embrace our interuptions as Divine appointments with our Lord and begin by thanking HIM that HE has, and never will use voice mail!

And then as you begin to laugh IN HIM and with HIM, HIS Joy can begin to lift and raise you through out each and every day...

Because you chose to Sing to Him as you awakened!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!
EstherStephanada!
