The last few days, I have been a little snappy. All the ugly stuff that's hidden deep down in the recesses of my heart are being exposed because we are asking the Lord to expose our "junk" so we can repent from it all and be ready to start the "New Year" (God's calendar) Anyway, it's been tough and I think I had gotten so wrapped up in defeating this junk that I got my focus off of Him and therefore, there hasn't been much "overflow" of living water coming from me. I repent publicly for this. I have gotten short with my kids and had to repent and gotten short with my husband and had to repent. I want to live a life worthy of honor and I want to learn a better way and walk in that better way that He has chosen for me. I walked in MY WAY for many years and all it got me was destruction and devastation. Why would I want to go back to that? So, this morning, I want to share what my daily reading was from "Come Away My Beloved" by Frances Roberts. I was once again saying, "That's my Daddy!"
O My child, there is nothing that I would hold back from you.
If you will heed My Word, if you will listen to My voice.
I will surely lead you in a plain path.
Set your affections upon Me and keep them there. Center your attention upon Me. Yes, set your heart to follow after Me with singleness of mind.
This will remove all doubt at every crossroad.
This will keep you continually at MY disposal.
NEVER SET OUT UPON A "PROJECT"
MY LIFE IS NOT A PROJECT BUT OVERFLOW.
You have already witnessed the verdure of life that has sprung forth where the waters of My Spirit have flowed.
How can any doubt remain?
But the flesh dies hard; it is true.
Even Jesus learned obedience through suffering and self-discipline (see Hebrews 5:8)
And Paul admonished: "Endure hardship as a good soldier" (2 Timothy 2:3)
ALL THAT COMFORTS THE FLESH WEAKENS THE SPIRIT.
I could by adversity strip from you the comforts of life. that I will bless you in double portion,
If of your own accord you do as the Apostle Paul and lay aside every weight, resisting the many temptations that continually beset you as you run with patience the course I set before you (Hebrews 12:1).
"Running with Patience"--
In these two words I have combined the intensity of purpose and the quiet waiting upon Me you must have, or else you will be overtaken in the race by fatigue of body and soul.
So as I have told you before, come to Me, and pour out your praise and your love and your worship. I will bless you and guide you and use you in MY OWN GOOD TIME AND PLEASURE.
YOU SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
WOW!!!! He knows just right where to get me when He needs to!!! I am so thankful to have a Dad that cares so deeply for me that He won't allow me to stay in the junk of this flesh that needs to continue to be crucified as it tries to rear it's ugly head. Forgive me!! I have been allowing Adam to be raised from the dead!!

Matthew 24:32-35
"Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When it's branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will passs away, but My words will by no means pass away."
As I am reading this, He begins to download to me:
He is telling us that the time is near. We are those branches that are becoming tender. The body of Christ in UNITY together for the purpose of HIS KINGDOM. As we become united, we put forth LEAVES (which represents healing for the nations. They will look to the church for help in these last days. Things will look darker than ever but because of this, our lights will shine brighter than ever and they will all see Jesus. No one will have any excuse for rejecting HIM because the light will testifty of itself!
A month ago, I had a vision of a huge tree and the leaves were growing from the sides of the tree. Last night, I all of a sudden KNEW that it was representing all those that He is calling in at this time. He is bringing healing from places where they do not normally come. He is cleaning up the addicted, broken, and in chains because the church has been so comfortable that they are not reaching the most severely wounded people. They have been "self" absorbed. Just like He did with Israel when He brought the gospel and power to the Gentiles, He is doing with the modern church. Those who aren't waking up in this season (WAKE UP TIME) will be left behind this great move of God coming on the Earth and will possibly get swept away if they don't repent. God is fixing to blow our minds. Are you hearing His song playing? You know He is singing right? If not, please, I URGE YOU, spend some time with your daddy and ask Him what His heart is for you in this hour. He is coming to His bride and you need to be ready. Don't just be waiting for a SIGN to get ready. WE ARE THE SIGN!!! The time is NOW. This is the day, this is the hour. We are getting ready to see a huge harvest and we need to be ready! Get in HIS WORD and ask for His heart for the people. Prepare to "sell all and give" as He tells you. "Just Do It" I KNOW THAT this was of the LORD. I love you all. Let everyone that needs to HEAR this, HEAR IT. May you bless it Lord!!

Garden of Fountains from "Come Away My Beloved" --Frances Roberts
The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." ISAIAH 58:11
Behold, My hand is upon you to bless you and to accomplish all My good purpose. For THIS HOUR I have prepared your heart, and in My kindness I will not let you fail.
Only relinquish ALL things into My hands; for I can work freely only as you release Me by complete committal--both of yourself and others. As was written of old: "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:5). I will be your sustaining strength; and My peace shall garrison your mind. Only TRUST ME--all I do is done in love.
Adversities are a necessity. They are part of the pattern of life's pilgrimage for every individual; and who can escape them? But I say to you, that for those who walk in Me, and for those who are encircled by the interccessory prayers of My children, I will make of the suffering, yes, I will make of the trials a stepping-stone to future blessing (see 2 Cor 4:17-18)
My arms are around you, and never have I loved you more! I will make you like a garden of fountains whose streams are fed by the Mountain Springs!
THAT'S MY DADDY!!!

THAT'S MY DADDY!!!
There is so much to praise HIM for.....
This blog started out as a place where I wanted to just share all the good things my daddy was doing in the earth and how it related to me, but I have realized it has become more of a place for me to encourage others as the day draws very near. There are people that tell me I need to share. I feel like I share too much alread. Those of you who know me personally can testify to that huh? LOL Anyway, I will share all that I feel able to share with everyone. Is has been my intention to bless you by sharing my life with you. I love yall and I pray today finds you at peace and contentment with the Lord. He has been so faithful. These last few days, seems like once or twice a day I see 555 on things (5:55, $5.55, 555) I have been told that the number 5 represents GRACE and oh how HE has poured an extreme amount of grace out. Today, He woke me up (I forgot to set the alarm clock correctly) at 5:55 AM. I love it. I looked over at Tim and said, "God's good, it's 5:55 Tim." I love it!!!! I pray that the people will continue to lift Raina, Sylvia, and Chayce up as they go through this valley. We know with all that's within us that good will and has already come out of this, but this is the season of missing him. I pray they are able to keep their eyes on Jesus and that their inner man be lifted in strength and that they remain full of faith. I pray that Chayce continue to have good role models throughout His life and the Lord prepare Him for the work that He wants to accomplish in their lifetime. I pray that they always allow the "joy of the Lord" to be their strength. Lord, we thank you that you are a God who lavishly pours out your GRACE, GRACE, GRACE on us at all times. We thank you that you know the end from the beginning and you have made a way for us!! We thank you for being our Almighty, Everlasting, Sovereign God even in the midst of turmoil. You are our PEACE and our strength. I ask that you begin to do a deeper work on us yet, to LOVE others as you have loved us. Give us the ability to receive more of YOUR LOVE today so we can begin to LOVE others sacrificially. I pray we can do these things in the hidden places of our hearts and that YOU BE GLORIFIED as we go low and serve. Teach us YOUR ways to serve others so that we are able to serve and not always be seen as doing so. Lord we love you!!!
Ok, now this morning I am reading Ezekiel 43 where He saw the Glory of the Lord return to the Temple. I have such a longing for the body of Christ that can't be explained. I am not the most eloquent speaker and really the groaning and trevailing that I am feeling can't be explained, but I DO KNOW that the Lord is getting ready to transform the body of Christ. I have such a deep cry for this region. I know that the Lord places each and every one of us where we are. I know that if we are choosing to follow His direction, then He brings us to the exact place we need to be. The Lord is getting ready to reveal His Glory in ways that we have not seen in this region. I know this!!! There are so many of us that have been trapped in the bondage of "religion" and just like He was GRACIOUS to me and has been bringing me out of the Bondage to the legalistic, ritualistic traps, He is going to start setting many of us free. We are fixing to be able to harvest so many lives. I am so excited!!! So, anyway, then I open my devotional right? I can hardly contain myself and it's only 7:30am. haha Anyway, here is today's devotional from "Come Away My Beloved" (Frances Roberts)
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witneses to Me... to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8
Behold, with a strong and mighty hand I will bring My people out. Yes, as I brought the children of Israel out from the bondage of Egypt and Pharoah; with a yet greater from of liberation I will bring My people out from under the yoke of false prophets and the shackles of legalism. For My people shall be a free people. My people will obey Me, not a human leader. My people shall not labor in vain in the straw and stubble of the works of the flesh. My people shall walk in newness of lfe, and they shall be energized and led by My Spirit.
Through the Red Seas, through the Wildernesses, through the Jordans, through the Promised Lands of Spiritual conquest--I am with My people. Let NO FEAR DISMAY. let no aspect of the past be a hindrance or stumbling block. I bring you out of dead works into living reality. I bring you out of traditions of the past to fresh revelations of Myself in this present hour. The past I use for your instruction, but not as a blueprint of the present nor as guidance for the future. Do not be afraid to follow Me. Indeed, if you knew how close I am standing to the "curtain of time," you would draw very near and be fillled with expectancy. For one of these days--SO VERY SOON--the heavens will be rolled back; the canopy of the sky as you know it will be lifted away; and the Son of Man shall be revealed in power and great glory.
Then will My Church be as a diadem upon My head, tangible evidence of My kingship and victory. What sort of people ought you to be with such a prospect in view!
BREAK LOOSE THE FETTERS. Cast off the fears. Walk forth in Me in the CONQUERING strength of My Holy Spirit!!!
I say Hallelujah!! And AMEN!!! God is good and HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!

Memorial Service for Dillon "D-Rob" Roberts
Last night we had Dillon's visitation on the 39 yard line of the high school football field. The field was filled with many loved ones and much grief, but if you kept your eyes open, you could see God moving in the midst. Momma was being carried by the glory of God and at one point I asked her "How you holding up, what going on?" She looked at me and with the Supernatural JOY of God in her eyes, she said "My God is up, that's whats up here!" You could hear her say "Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus" Make no mistake, this has been the hardest thing she has ever been through, but there is one that has carried her through this. She has been a role model of God's amazing Love as she embraces the young man that is so distraught. She is laying down her hurt and her pain for a moment to be able to minister to others. This is WHO SHE IS. She is a servant in every form of the word. She lays down her life and it is HER JOY to do it. She has been to the other side now and sees the blessing of being served. So, now, even though it gave her joy to serve before, it will be even more glorious and passionate service from here forward. There is a song that says it so well. "Oh How He loves us" the part of the song I am seeing the most is this part "when all of a sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by Glory, I realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me, and OH HOW HE LOVES US...." That is the beauty of a "surrendered" Christian life. It's the most glorious thing to behold. God knows just what He is doing and HE DOES IT WELL. Lord, we love you and we are thankful to be part of your master plan. I pray that the joy of the Lord carries us through this day and that you get even more glory from this than we can ever ask, hope, think, or imagine. Thank you for your continued PEACE on us!!!
Oh and I wanted to comment on Houser Houses post about bad things happening and people "Blaming God" but it wouldn't let me so here was my post. :)
This is one of the hardest things to grow in. So many people want to see the tragedies as horrible, and for a fleeting moment they are (we are human after all) but in the greater picture is what God does through the tragedy. He is faithful in the midst for sure. This doesn't mean that He wanted the tragedy to even occur, but the world is full of evil and corruption and all through the Bible, He is a God that rescues His people from evil and corruption. He leads them out of bondage and into glorious FREEDOM. He longs for us to reach out to Him. He paid the ultimate price so that we could receive LOVE from Him in the midst of the pain...... Something that has been resinating (sp?) in me the last few days:
I was talking with my husband and about how I know that God didn't take Dillon, but that Satan snatched him and even though it seems like it is God's plan, God is making so much good come of it that God even gets the glory when satan kills one of God's own. Look at Jesus. Satan and the "RELIGIOUS" people crucified him, but it was also HIS greatest victory and ours. We hear it said, "if he would have known what he was doing, he wouldn't have killed Jesus" Did God kill Jesus? NO Did God allow it? Yes, because He knew the outcome. God has soldiers here on earth that are willing to lay down their lives for the life of the church. Some of us are soldiers "unaware" of who we are. Maybe we just lost a soldier in this great war, but God is going to increase HIS numbers through this one soldier. I firmly believe it!!! God said He is in the palm of His hands and that HE HAS HIM. Hallelujah!!! I belive it with all that is within me!!

The Time is Near....and we Eagerly await our Marriage!!
Oh how I feel like I am preparing for a wedding. For those of you who are married, you remember all the scrambling we did trying to get everything that was needed? We had to make sure our hair and make-up was just so-so and we had people in line to do their "part" for the wedding. I feel like a wedding planner of sorts. I have been doing the scrambling for the bride (even though I know I am part of her as well) Words can not describe the feelings that are coming with this end time generation. You know how the Lord puts that deep knowing down inside of you when you are "born again"? That's how I feel about my children seeing Jesus face to face. I have a deep "knowing" within me that says HE is coming back before they pass away. Now, I don't have it as deeply for myself, but it could be in my lifetime, but I know that I know that I know as much as I know I am born-again through the blood of Jesus that my children will see Jesus come back for HIS BRIDE. I play a part in that. I am seeing glimpses and I know I seem crazy at times, but for those of you who know my heart, just bear with me and see that what I am saying is true. When I cry out for the people, my soul aches for them to return to their daddy with open arms. I have not always been faithful to the Lord, but I am coming back to my first love and I am doing the first works. I am a little more balanced than I was in the beginning but I know I am still a hard pill to swallow sometimes. I am thankful that the Lord has placed my community in my heart and me in theirs. I am truly blessed. I have heard it said, "Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated!" I believe that to be so here!! I believe that the Lord has strategically placed His people in this region and He is getting ready to gather the harvest. The time is short and I am getting ready for this and even now seeing them come in. We have no time left to waste. We are in the last minute preparations for the return of the Lord. Be ready!!! Don't let SIN reign in your mortal bodies and if you see me leaning towards some sin that I am unaware of, PLEASE come to me and help me stay on the narrow way. I am going to be ready and Sin will not dominate me. I know we have a Sin Nature, but my Bible says that Jesus overcomes it in us. So, the more Jesus I have operating in me (aka through the Holy Spirit power in me) then the less likely I am to fulfill that old man. Lets reckon the old man dead and reckon ourselves "dead to sin and alive unto righteousness" It's time Bride. Your wedding day draws near and you need to get your WHITE dress on. Are you going to realize who you are and step in with me? Here is today's devotional:
for the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17
Arise. Get up to the rim of the chasm, and look and write what you see. For death and destruction, darkness, and thick mists, and the cries of those who perish will rise, but there is none to hear. there is none to answer.
As it is written: "NOW is the day of salvation" 2 Corinthians 6:2 and again: "Seek the Lord while He may be found" (Isaiah 55:6), for the night comes. Then My wrath will be poured out upon the ungodly and there will be no hand stretched forth to save. I have called to you in mercy, and in patience I have stretched out My hands to a careless and rebellion s people. I have spoken from heaven, and My words have been ignored. I have cried out to them through My prophets, and their hearts have been as molten stone.
The have lifted up their voices in defiance against Me, but there will be none to deliver.. There is no salvation in their hands, but they will go down together. They shall perish together in their folly. Behold, the day of mercy is at an end, and the Day of Judgement has come.
Lift your eyes to the clouds, for the heavens are filled with glory, Yes, He comes with ten thousand of His saints, Lift your hearts, for you will not be afraid of those things that are coming to pass upon the earth. For I shall gather my people to myself and in the hour of destruction, I will stretch forth My hand to deliver them. In the hour of wrath, I will snatch away My own--My Beloved__ and the flames will not touch them.
Surely My love is deep and abiding, constant and tender. I have not changed. For though nation rises against nation, and though war breaks out into a universal holocaust, although humanity in its folly dashes itself to bits against the wall of the inevitable, I still have not changed.
My heart is still tender. My thoughts toward you are still thoughs of loving-kindness. I look upon you with a deeper love than ever before. As the bridegroom anticipating the approaching wedding makes last-minute preparations and longs for the hour of fulfillment, so does My heart yearn for you, My bride, My Beloved.
Though you see terror on every hand, only with your eyes will you look and see the reward of wickedness. I shall preserve you and keep you, and you shall walk with Me in white.

He will have no one share His Glory!!
God will share His Glory with no man. God is restoring the church and people will be amazed at how we all come together. He has already begun. Are you seeing it?? If you aren't, I suggest laying upon His breast and listening to His Heartbeat. You don't want to miss the trumpet call when the time comes. Get everything right in your life while there is still time. It is a precious time and a time of awe in the Lord. We never know when our life will end, but we work while it is yet daylight. This weekend has been a time of knowing how needed it really is. See, we all have a God shaped hole inside of us and ONLY GOD can fill that hole. Not drugs, not food, not alcohol, not busyness, not all our friends. ONLY TIME IN THE PRESENCE of a Holy God who can cleanse and restore us. He can bring us back to purity and holiness. Seek Him while He may be found. That is my heart cry today. I pray we don't ose another youth to drugs to realize that they are crying out for help and no one is hearing them. The body of Christ needs to wake up and let the "RIVERS of LIVING WATER FLOW" How many years have you been SERVING the LORD? How many years have you been serving YOURSELF? Time to WAKE UP!!!! There isn't much time left. Get on your face before the Lord and cry out for MERCY. If you don't feel you have any deep sin within you, then PLEASE intercede for those who do!!!! If you aren't doing your part, the body is broken. If one of us is broken, we ALL hurt!!
from devotional today:
Behold, I have put My Spirit upon you that you should cry and not keep silent. Yes, I have spoken to you that you might know the burden of the Lord and might understand what is in My heart.
For I love My people, My chosen and elect; and My heart grieves over them, because they are turned aside. They have known My love; yes, they have tasted of My goodness and entered into My grace, and I have given them My salvation; but their love has grown cold and their desires have turned to others, and their ways are the paths of self-seeking and folly.
For I am a jealous God, and I will not share My glory with another. yes, I will pour out My goodness without restraint upon every open heart; and to all who cry out to Me, I will be gracious.
BUT MY PEOPLE HAVE NTO CRIED; they have not called. They have been satisfied with the husks of this present world, and in an hour of indifference, they have allowed the pleasures of this life to fill that place which belongs only to Me. yes, it has displaced My Spirit, but it does not satisfy.
O that they might reeturn to ME, for as the father awaited the return of the prodigal, so I long for my people. my heart is lifted up with grief, and My tears flow as a fountain. For I love them. My soul is drawn out to them.
Return to Me and I will return to you. Put away the IDOLS, and give Me your heart. Lay your heart open before Me, and I will purge away the dross. I will clease it and fill it with My glory. You will no longer crave the leeks and the garlic of Egypt. You will no longer feed upon chaff; but I will satisfy your soul with manna from heaven, and with milk and honey you shall be nourished.
And your health will return to you , and your vigor, and you will serve Me with fresh energy. You will go forth in new power, and MY JOY shall be your CONSTANT portion. Though you labor in the last hour before sunset, you shall be rewarded the same as those who preceded you( Matt 20:1-16)
