deepen your “yes”

This generation doesn't have anything to live for, because they have nothing that they will die for. What are the Values, what is the purpose and goals, what are the gifts we have to share? BE THAT, for the Glory of God.

There is an incredible amount of evil running roughshod over our world and even in the Church. We often do spend a lot of time lamenting how bad things are. This is good and right since we would not do so if we didn’t believe that those doing these evil things were damaging others and themselves. Jesus does not tell us not to mourn. He does not tell us that it’s all just an illusion created by media sensationalism. Instead, he tells us that our “grief will become joy.” That is because the Spirit will give us hope—the supernatural virtue of patiently waiting and looking out for the righting of all wrongs
Acts 22:14-16 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth; for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’
The Christian life is itself a painful labor. We must struggle to realize the great things that have been revealed to us. We must discipline our bodies and minds in order to prune away all the growth of disordered habits and thoughts that prevent us from keeping our eyes on the prize–eternal life lived in the midst of the great dance of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 We must rely on the Holy Spirit’s gift of hope!

This is such a challenge for me now. I have such tremendous gifts given to me, and seemingly have not done as I should have with them. It feels like I’m being punished now, but know it’s really a great learning and a transition again. I’ve seen these transitions many times, like the calm before the storm. What’s most remarkable to me is how much I’ve seen and experienced that brings me to a fuller understanding of the power and truth in Jesus Christ. I’ve tried to read and learn and grow, but so much makes my head spin.

I know it's that I MUST practice what I preach. "Fear doesn't come from GOD," we choose to fear, we can Trust God and step beyond fear. We can choose to step beyond fear and choose to avoid anger, or avoid alcohol. This morning the PrayerLine request again was about leaving the past of fear. Letting go of these lies, of anger to allow us to live and move on. We can Live New, ONLY when we leave the old. Let go of the fear and anger to Trust God, who brings in Love to fill the void we can only make in this choice. Wow, I posted this to my family chat: https://florida.thejoyfm.com/programs/schedule/ as this included these Bible verses.

Whether you are selling, leading or impacting, the key is correct evidence-based interpretation of who you really are and amplifying your true voice as your superpower.

It is my privilege and honor to do this work and I am grateful to be back online actively to advocate it and bring more awareness to it.

Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!
What are you reading now?
It's another piece selected by the Saint Raphael's Catholic Church Men's Fraternity to follow-up after the Exodus 90 readings we did. Now it's about consecration to Mary! 33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC  . . . yes, shared now for you too: https://go.shr.lc/43A9B4X 
 What has this brought for you?
It feels so strong and familiar! It's like connecting with my Mom, Joyce, Joni, and Dawn as well now.  I remember the night when Joni passed, falling at the steps below her pictures and hearing her ask, “have we made it?” I knew she was asking if we beat the snake, and wanted to know whether we could carry it forward. Of Course, at this time Dawn and Carlie were still helping with Sharon and other women. I told Joni how many women were engaged and she was at ease knowing we could carry it forward.

Yes, the spiritual reading and prayerful pondering brought stronger resonance to the Divine Feminine that I seem to know so well.  I was reminded that Jesus relies on others to spread his Gospel and that he commissioned his disciples to preach it to all (see Matthew 28:19-20). And then he assigned his Mother to support and direct this saying: “Woman, behold, your son” and to John, “Behold, your mother” (John 19:26-27). At that moment, Jesus gave us one of his greatest gifts: his Mother as our mother. Of course, Mary isn’t our natural mother. She’s our spiritual mother . . .
Yes, what this is about is the Marian Consecration, or giving Mary your full permission to complete her motherly task in you, which is to bring you into the full realization of Christ.
I get it! and I guess it's why I'm getting this vibration so strong now. . . where everything in my life is RESONATING Mother Mary so deeply. Like even seeing and moving a private personal shrine to her, shown here loaded in my truck.  Yes, after leaving the Men’s Fraternity at Saint Raphael’s, Judy called to ask for my help. She wanted me to move her “critical Valuables” to her new place. 

When I got to her house, she pointed out a chair, a table or two and her statue of Mother Mary.  She was focused on this statue, already having it standing in a box. No cloths, no dishes. The statue, a table to set it on, and the chair in front of it. Nothing else matters. 

What a good idea for you to strive to deepen your “yes” to Mary. For the deeper your “yes” becomes, the more marvelously she can perform her works of grace in your souls 
I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ!
