Spring is here; I don't care what the calendar or the weatherman says.

I spent hours outside in my garden, barefoot, with a tee shirt & sweatpants. That was enough to keep warm & make contact with the earth and sunlight. It was good.

Now I'm sore! Back, arms, fingertips tender from all the squatting, reaching, pulling, clipping, pruning motions I haven't done for months.

But the lamb's ear is cleaned up, the catnip sheared down, the new buds spotted and hoped for on my young tree and other bushes, and all of my panicle hydrangeas in the ground have been pruned for the first time (and all cuts--hopefully all-- sealed to keep out the borers). That's...let's just say that's a lot of bushes. 😆

Some of them were planted almost 3yrs ago, some last year. But they all had "issues" after this winter, and/or their early days before I got them. I'm learning to make decisions as to where to cut to get their forms growing as I would like them to grow.

As this is my first time with that focus, I learned that each one has its own instincts and desires. I can guess at the history which lead to where they are now. Some of them didn't get a good effort, I'm guessing, in previous pruning and care. I can remember what they looked with leaves and blooms, and now with their skeletal forms all bare, I can see, I think, what they need to grow better moving forward, and I tried to help them along today. I look forward to seeing the results over the next few months....

People are similar, if you think about it. Some things are, naturally, genetic. Some things are nurtured (or not). Sometimes the outside world causes us damage we could never have avoided, and then we just try to grow around the damage. We try to go in the direction which leads to survival.

Some things, and people, bear scars. You can say, "Something bad must have happened in their childhood", and you might be right. What can you do to help heal that scar?

One must always work with our knowledge of nature, but recognize that "Nature's God" knows far more than we do. We can only do so much, but we can try to help someone in need.

I like taking on plants that need help. I've learned how to nurture them. I know they can look and feel so much healthier with a little effort on my part, a little help from nature, and a little time. Then I get to watch. It brings me joy, and they give back, in their own way. It's addictive.

Some people are good at helping plants. Some with animals. Some with people. Donna is so very knowledgeable about horses. I could talk with her all day about horses and dogs and plants. She is very good at helping people, too. She is a generally happy person, don't you think? Perhaps it's from the joy she finds in all the helping.

Who or what are you helping?

What comes to mind when I reflect on our entire globalist structure and conversation is about the deep spiritual fracture is the root … the love of money as the compromising vector

The systems built on greed, the observable "takedown" moves in policy and justice, and personal battles we have all fought makes it evident .. the profound sense of alignment between the unseen war and the visible shake-ups.

I’m not buying anything I see or hear right now because, just like in politics, the propaganda is usually 2 wings on the same bird.

I ask the question why?

They changed from racial and gender division focus to … who do you follow or what team are you on … to which country is in the right.

There is a whole underlying structure that no one is mentioning.

First people are not being differentiated from the usurping parasitic globalist mindset based in the culture of greed - material worship over God and people.

Second it’s not as centralized as we are lead to believe.

The largest failure point is the spiritual fracture of individuals as we wrestle with the spiritual fight between good and evil.
👆
Every global structure is the result of an individual spiritual fracture. They wouldn’t exist without people who are complicit engaging in self gain.

Policies are the result in trying to control the situation and they can become their own problem.

So let’s look at a switch in policies and go down through the levels being coveted up by the propaganda.

Starting the day off right!!!

How much of what we see is real? Almost none of it can be reliably confirmed.

So let’s focus on what we know…

God is faithful
God does not change
God is above all those things that we don’t control

God teaches our souls how to return to trust.

Trust God … no matter what

So Sad it’s come to this point in our lives! Someone posted this and it's true in my opinion!

We are living in a Bizarre World:
• If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegal Mexicans voting in our elections is good.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• Sexualizing children is bad, but 11-year-old drag queens are good.
• Illegals aren't required to show ID, but citizens can't buy cough medicine without it.
• Citizens are fined if they don’t buy their own health insurance, and then they are forced to buy it for illegals.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for useless degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate Central-American gang-banger who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care for illegals is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• Politicians who say that the President is not above the law put illegal immigrants and themselves above the law.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• Illegals don’t pay taxes, but they get tax refunds.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, and it seems like a great plan to us.
• Voter suppression is bad, but not allowing the President to be on the ballot is good.
• Fourth-of-July parades are bad, but parades of women dressed as vaginas are good.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
* And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists."

If you are tired of living in the Left’s dystopian nightmare, share or copy and paste!

Can you see God today …

Can you see God even in the midst of the darkness?

Slow down … shut out the chaos of the world and change your focus.

There’s a quiet beauty in walking a path when you don’t know exactly where it leads. Some days you pause and wonder how you even got here … and yet, look how far you’ve come. Through uncertainty, through loss, through nights that felt too long and battles that tested every ounce of strength you had.

I’m so proud of you …

of every person who has stayed in the fight when it was hard, when you felt alone, when the outcome wasn’t assured. We’ve lost friends along the way. We’ve watched familiar comforts slip through our fingers. But what we’ve gained … what we’ve gained is something deeper and more precious … true friends who have become family, forged in fire and faithfulness.

You’ve stood when others fell. You’ve kept going when you were exhausted, hurt, and felt abandoned and alone. That unwavering commitment to doing what’s right, especially when no one but God is watching … that matters.

Don’t measure your worth by the validation of people. The only opinion that truly defines you is God’s. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness… and watch how everything else … purpose, joy, love, real relationships, and the beautiful gifts of the Spirit … begin to fall into place.

The fight is worth it.
The struggle is refining you.
The darkness is where the light breaks through brightest.

Keep walking. Keep trusting.
God is with you, right here, right now. Can you see Him?
He sees every step.

You are not alone.
You are deeply loved.
And you are making a difference.

I’m proud of you … you matter.

I’m proud to stand with you as the family of God shining as a light in the darkness - unwavering as God carries us and watches over us.

Unwavering with love,
Donna

You will only find perfection in God…

I was pondering today about the relentless attacks on President Trump as he steps into some of the most complex issues facing our nation. He didn’t have to do this. He didn’t need the job. Yet he saw what needed to be done and stepped up …refusing to whine or complain, and getting to work.

But the accusations, the naysayers, the demoralization… it’s been unrelenting. And still, he fights on.

It’s not just him. It’s every good soul who chooses truth over lies, honesty over deception, integrity over convenience, and light over darkness. It’s those who pursue serving God, even when the cost is high.

How beautiful it is that God uses flawed, imperfect people to accomplish His purposes. He doesn’t wait for perfection … He calls the willing. And when good men and women stand anyway, bearing the attacks, pushing through the obstacles and negativity, something powerful happens.

Today, I’m filled with gratitude to God for every imperfect person who chose to stand. For those “for such a time as this.”

Lord, shut the mouths of those who speak evil and try to tear good people down. Wrap every weary fighter in Your arms of comfort. Remind us that both the just are justified by You and the unjust desperately need You.

Thank You, God, for loving us while we were still imperfect. Thank You for raising up people willing to fight for peace, integrity, and justice.

Prayers for President Trump, General Flynn, Admiral Rogers and all the good guys standing in the gap—may they have strength for every battle, wisdom beyond their own, and the endurance to see Your will done.

May Your Spirit be poured out upon the earth, and Your peace flood the hearts of men and women everywhere.

In Jesus Name

Keep standing. Keep trusting. The fight is hard, but it’s not in vain. God sees. God strengthens. God wins!!!

Unwavering with love,
Donna

This morning, as I start horse chores, I’ve been pondering… How much do we really need recognition for the things we do?

The Bible reminds us that the most powerful acts often happen in secret, where only God sees. Jesus taught: “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:3-4) But we don’t do good works for rewards if we truly love God. We do good works BECAUSE we love God.

The most impactful things in our lives are often the ones no one sees, no one hears, and the world may even reject. The world moves by biases and noise, but God’s unseen hand moves mountains, oceans, and hearts in ways we can barely imagine. He’s at work in the quiet moments … waking the dawn, stirring hope we are weary, and moving gently within us.

One beautiful thing about God is that He never forces Himself on us. He waits patiently, giving us the choice to turn to Him, to talk to Him, to invite Him into our day. He longs for relationship with us, just as we long to be chosen and loved.

How often do we take Him … and the beautiful gifts of His hands … for granted? The people we love are His gifts. The good and lovely things around us are His gifts.

That’s why Scripture encourages us … “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable … if anything is excellent or praiseworthy … think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

When we shift our focus to these good things and do what He calls us to under His direction, we bring light and healing to our little corner of the world. We don’t have to move mountains alone … He does the impossible through our simple obedience and gratitude.

If you’re hurting today, feeling unseen or discouraged… remember … God sees every quiet act of love, every tear, every faithful step. You are not invisible to Him.

Let’s make this day awesome by choosing gratitude. Thank You, God, for everything You’ve done for us. We love You. We choose You today.

Keep your eyes on what is lovely. Speak life. Offer kindness. (Or sometimes correction to others … tough love is an important part of true love.) Trust the One who sees in secret and rewards openly. Healing comes when we rest in His patient love.

God we choose you today!!! We want to walk with your Holy Spirit through life. Something about today is different … we trust You and are grateful for this adventure.

In Jesus Name

I’m proud of you!!! You are deeply loved, and your quiet faithfulness matters more than you know.

Unwavering in love,
Donna

Heads up … I’m observing the news cycle and I can guarantee that nothing we are seeing is meant for us. It’s not real.

God is sifting …

Good guys are putting out propaganda for the bad guys…

Bad guys are putting out propaganda for everyone …

How do you know that anything you are seeing is real??? You don’t …

They can fake wars in movies… deep fakes … silicone masks…

I have wondered why more people aren’t disturbed by what we see and are living? The conclusion is that the bread and circus pacifiers are lulling society into a state of being an observer … as the state, acting as “mom and dad”, sticks a plug or bottle in societies mouth.

Life is a participation sport that has to be lived.

Where is loyalty?
It is displayed in action. Loyalty to God is the only thing that will keep you going … as we are confronted by sheeple who are driven to insanity by fear … grasping for control … rather than trusting God.

When we see fear … or holding on to the “proverbial Saddam and Gomorrah”
… of a society in collapse … we observe the spiritually sick running back to the familiar rather than leaving the accepted. I’ll go back to the example I use often … they are predisposed to eat brownies even if it looks good but is made with dog crap.

Yesterday I heard one of the most gutless statements I’ve heard in a long time. A person disgusted by the Republican Party and lousy candidates is going to vote for an independent establishment candidate. No idea that this is part of the problem. Tolerating the lesser of 2 or 3 evils is still slapping God in the face and choosing evil.

There are other options if cowardice and fear don’t make the decision. They are spirits … and the choice is choose God or let evil put a ring in your nose and lead you into familiar destruction.

Like in the Bible when the people had no conviction or faith… God let them wander in the desert for 40 years until all the unfaithful were dead. He wasn’t going to let cowardice and fear in.

We are at a tipping point. God protects His children … stop eating the propaganda crap brownies…

The 4th turning reliably marks the end of a society. Historically it repeats with the regularity of the sun coming up in the morning and is driven by human nature.

It’s a 250 year cycle.

I’ll say it again … a 250 year cycle. 4 generations…

The future is going to look very different … no fear. Evil has to be confronted.

The best is yet to come when evil experiences being on the business end of the sword of truth which cuts through the darkness … nowhere to hide.

Trust God …

I’m still glad for the provocative tweets from President Trump … (news flash … sheep believe that it’s him writing them) … seriously the leader of the “free world.” Guaranteed he has a staff writing them.

Amused.

Keep your chill on and enjoy the show.
