God has begun MIRACULOUS healing in Dad because God needs Dad.... William to be HIS Carpenters Friend for no other carpenter who belongs to God has the heart to be "The Carpenters Friend."

Many erroneously think William, Dad & I want to rehabilitate hardened killers...not true.

We seek to teach those who are non-violent who possibly in on their first or second drug charge but have never harmed people or done anything violent and today in The United States this accounts for the majority who are incarcerated.

In Every Situation in Life God Promises HIS Best....But Do You & I Have The Strength...The Faith Not To Settle or Accept Less?

In the lives of each Christian believer when we pray for any good thing ....even those things which God's Holy Written Word promises we always must wait upon the Lord...

 

In HIS perfect timing that does not always feel like ours.

 

And when God blesses HE adds no sorrow.

 

In these last few days my brother whom God did not restore to me & my husband after many years of separation after I believed my father's intimidation when he said:  "And don't be bothering your brother or Lisa...they are just as sick and tired of you & your loser husband as us and the rest of the family" I believed my father and never called my brother and sister in law during my husband's first battle with Agent Orange GIST tumor.   I cut off the entire family then after having only called them for a first time since cutting them all off following the 911 bombing attacks on The United States September 11, 2001 which brought back the Vietnam War for a period in my husband.

 

William and I were trying to buy a house of our own.  A place where it would be far easier to be healthier in a residential middle class neighborhood for our first time in almost 17 years of marriage....Both homes we had a mortgage on...our own which we lived in during different time periods were in drug infested hostile neighborhoods.

 

This will...I say will...because even though we were not able to qualify for this on our own...and although my brother offered to buy it and rent it to us until we could get credit scores up and buy it on our own...

 

We will not settle for less than God's best.

 

We will not pay rent under terms of control of anyone.... particularly not place ourselves under the same bondage God released me from on May 30, 1997 when William Gustavson took me as his bride & wife forever.

 

This would not be receiving God's best even if the very house God has planned, set aside for William & I to make us prosper there...

 

For When God Blesses HE adds no sorrow and so William & I have found still another temporary residence as we not accept the devils offer of less than God's best:   A home that not only meets all of our needs...but is infinitely better than we could ask think dream or imagine that will be received paid for in full without any strings attached like on a kite that flies high in the air controlling direction and inhibiting or limiting the heights it can climb....

 

I wrote my brother a very long letter because he is my biological brother and I will always love my parents and both of my brothers, nephews....my son our grandchildren and sister in law...but we will never give them or anyone position of authoritative power or control over us...for this is not love but cohesion....I explained that I will never place myself & my husband in the position that we must again be the brunt of my father's coarse harshness nor his self-righteous attitudes that stem from the fact he still today holds his mother...my grandmother and God mother Josephine accountable in her grave for having left him & his sister Joan Carroll Cruz...as she sought to free herself and her children of her alcoholic abusing husband their father....  Big Dan Senior.

 

See I look exactly like Josephine and it was not until shortly after William & I married my mother said to me when I was telling her about another...most recent at that time...explosion of my father knocking me in my face in anger....

 

She said:  Stephanie it is a shame you cannot remember when you were very small your father was very tender to you.  It was when you started looking like a woman he changed."    "What does that mean Momma...was I supposed to stay his baby doll forever and not grow up?"    She replied and actually began crying as she said:  "Don't you get it?  When he hits you..he hits his mother Josephine who left him....you look just like Josephine.!"

 

My father also does not like reminiscing about any places he brought me or me with my brothers and mother because when a man lives 60 years with compounded unconfessed, unforgiven, unabsolved sin....he remembers not just the good parts of memories...but he remembers that he never once in my life time ever was with me that he did not hurt me in some way...

 

Whether with unexpected anger he could not or would not control...or harsh critical cold words...he like anyone else who suffers from swallowing lies of the devil that have kept them out of the sacramental confessional for years to a life time....

They become a chronic liar to hide their previous sins.

 

So why would William & I accept a home under these kinds of terms to be forced into relationship within such a family that condones such behavior and manipulates with money.

 

When one gives when one loves it must be freely given and freely received...not expecting anything more than love returned.

 

So I explained these spiritual truths to my brother in a letter directly telling him no thank you...we will not accept his offer because we will wait upon our Lord a little longer.

 

God will give us what HE has promised with no strings attached.

 

We have taken again temporary shelter which I told my brother as I tell all now...if my father or mother or even now my brother seek to track me...us down again....like after my William told my father in  2012 where we were then living thinking he had mellowed enough in old age that we no longer need to hide as much from him....My father's words spoken with hostility in his voice were:    "SO THAT'S WHERE YOU'VE BEEN HIDING HER!"   My father is a Korean War Veteran and was on the Battleship Iowa.

 

Just as all Military Servicemen...whether they enlisted or were drafted if they had any physical or mental defects whether a curved spine, flat feet Bipolar illness...prostrate problems....mental illness of any kind they were not accepted into whatever branch of the military that they were applying or were being drafted into.

 

And so my father could not have had his Bipolar problem of inflaming quickly without anyone knowing what bothered him...before he entered the United States Navy or later the Merchant Marines.   And this is the key piece of knowledge for any descendant of a former military soldier, airman....or sailor...Do not assume that you were not exposed to harmful permanent  sickness causing agents because you never saw with your eyes Agent Orange Smoke or never saw or handled with your own hands knowingly hazardous materials.

 

Our Government has lied to all American Citizens dating back long before any humans alive today were born.  It is called:  "POLITICS."

 

Never settle for less than God's best as William & I also sent the Realtors involved an electronic letter...short note telling them to place back on the open market....it has been for sale over two years....so when God opens the heavens as promised do not be surprised if we walk into your office....one day maybe next month...with a cashiers check for the full amount we had offered drawn on our own money.

 

God makes a way where there is no way...but we must be careful to recognize the offer from God's enemy that will always come very soon before God's abundant promise to me and to you....

 

One last ditch effort to prevent God's obedient ones from enjoying God's best for them.

 

So pray with me....let us pray for each other sisters and brothers...that each of us recognize as we did this time....when an offer is God's promise twisted....and tied up with strings....not favorite things...but strings that bind and cause pain, agony and sorrow...

Let us never borrow even from a "Blood Relative" or brother... For as scripture says:  "The borrower is always a slave to the lender."

 

Wait just a little while longer in HIM with HIM and Through HIM....for HIS better and best part as we are!

 

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

Christmas Time is Difficult for Many....And All Though Ours Too Did Not Pass Without Bumps or Bruises....

Christmas Time is Difficult for Many....And All Though Ours Too Did Not Pass Without Bumps or Bruises....

 

And your Christmas may have too...come along more swiftly than you would have preferred bringing visits that might not have been pleasant.

 

You and I if not careful...can allow the enemy of God to steal from us the pearl hidden within the tough hard oyster shell of attitudes that lack gratitude and have never truly loved before....

Life can be harsh for many no matter what time of year it is or where they must be on any particular date.

 

Jealous resentful ones raise their heads high with their sharp critical judgemental tongues every chance they get at us almost every where we go anytime of the year...a true Christian who shakes the dust of the unrighteous off him or herself frequently moving on...to the next church...the next town as Jesus instructed HIS apostles...go into each town blessing the house of the first person you meet and if they receive your blessing stay there do not move from house to house...your blessing will remain upon them forever.

 

But if they do not receive you...shake their dust as a testament against them..and go forth to the next town...the next church...

 

To the next place do not carry the bitterness, resentfulness or jealousy of those who reject you...remember they hated Jesus Christ Himself long before you or I were ever born....

 

And Jesus said:  "If they hate me they will hate you."   so why then would you or I ever base our happiness upon being accepted by someone who knows not how to love or let others love them???

 

 

Over our Christmas....we endured such from biological family members of mine who you would expect to be happy for us.

 

But my William & refuse to get into a contest with anyone....we simply walked away again rejoicing that we made a best effort returning to my parents home after having not been there in a very long time....and that at least my brother and sister in law are back in our lives.

 

None of us can make the choices of any other person but only ourselves.

 

Lets not set ourselves up for serious disappointment by raising expectations that are dependent upon other people and not controlled by ourselves and God alone.

 

For people will almost always disappoint because few people have the same goals, the same priorities and the same motivation.

 

And when any time you base your happiness on certain people agreeing with you, or certain people liking you or even more deadly and damaging to yourself....basing your happiness upon certain people truly loving you...regardless who they are...even if sadly someone who should love you the most and be the happiest for you...and never jealous at all....

 

You set yourself up to never find joy or happiness in your entire life.

 

For the Holy Scripture defines love in the Book of Corinthians this way:  "Love is patient; love is kind; it never puts on aires....it is never self seeking."

 

Scripture also says that when we bless others....give alms we are not to let our left hand know what the right is doing.

 

This does not mean that when we give that we should never expect a return...but rather we cannot give expecting a specific return....this is not giving nor loving but is defined as a "Purchase."

 

But some people when they give or help someone...often their own family member particularly an adult child of their own flesh...biological son or daughter...

they do so with intentions that then they have the right to control their adult child and his our her nuclear family.

 

This is only one example of giving that is not giving freely.

Love has to not have strings attached for love or giving with strings attached like onto a kite that control the kites flight..left or right...higher...and higher...or lower in the sky.

 

For "Love" that seeks power or control is not love but coercion.

 

So I though our Christmas Season was not all that we hoped for relationship wise...

We rejoice that we received far more than we had dreamed for when visiting my parents....

 

My brother & sister in law who have not fallen away from their Catholic Faith as my father did long before I was born....my brother, sister in law, and nephews have rejoiced with us to be again in hugging each other with our arms and hearts and so Christmas for us Gustavsons was very blessed.

 

Let none of us regardless where on earth we are from or have been...or where we are headed...journeying to....allow anyone else to steal from us what is ours and belongs to no other unless we give...

That is our hearts, our souls joy and happiness regardless if we are married or single we will always meet and greet along every street sour grapers who will always judge us critically...

 

Be not rude...say that is your choice_____________, but as for me and my husband____________as for me and my wife_________  We will serve the Lord and never be blue over this or that and certainly not blue over you or your choices which are yours to make.

 

Then drive or dance away into the sunset...knowing you put forth your best effort to be peace makers...to be bridges between others not dividers....rejoice that HE makes each day new...and since like Doris Day always sang:   "Kay Sarah Sarah...whatever will be will be..the future is not ours to see.... " 

 

And add in your own versus:   But you and I can choose the better things along our way each day as we keep seeking HIS Holy Face with our hearts always kneeling to HIM.

 

And when I our you on purpose choose to refuse to let others dictate how we feel, act or behave..or even control our decisions what clothes we wear, or how we style our hair...hats or no hats...

Without using profanity stating your decision of limitations...regardless circumstances....and cutting of those relationships which tried to divide you and your wife or husband or causing you to sin or slide...

 

You will like us become Esthers and Jacobs too....walking in the path towards righteousness and heaven....

On the road to be as Mother Angelica encourages all who watch and listen.... her Intro of her "Mother Angelica Live Program which can be viewed  on    www.EWTN.com

"We are all called to be great saints...Don't miss the opportunity!"

 

Amen Amen Amen!

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

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!"

Catholics are confused about pro-life / pro-choice ...abortion ..Will Never Be Chased Down By Blessings But Stress!

Anyone living a contradiction will be super stressed having to cover up lies and contradictions constantly!

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 Holt 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.

And this is only one contradiction people live daily and justify constantly...anyone justifying themselves will have hardship not peace that surpasses all understanding but conflict within their own heart & soul.

Shake it off and speak contradictions no more & remain  under and within HIS mantle of protection and infinite blessings forever!

Amen Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

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

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.

There comes a time that one must cut others off or the river of their own life and protection will dry up...

So the choice belongs to each one...to you and to me...each one whose hearts are always kneeling ...
Without fear they simply get up and move on to a new place...

Just as our Lord did HE never got caught up into he saids she saids or dids & Did nots...
HE never got caught up into the politics of the day....

Though instead HE spoke correction boldly without regard who was behaving wrong not caring that they would not enjoy being corrected.

HE boldly said that a fool resists correction because he is conceited.

 How true!

Never let fools separate you from the river of MIRACLES that God tries to anoint each life with...that can be yours if you are willing to pay the price of jealousy, criticism and gossip,
And remain vigilant & ready to embrace what befalls you allowing God to place your steps in another direction...

Around stubbornness and above those who would rather stand back and be silent waiting for someone else to step forward than be the one who speaks up for the abused or down trodden.

Let revival begin and let it begin now with me!

Open your hearts in love that you may be both receipient of MIRACLES and be a vehicle of MIRACLES for others.

Amen

Those Who Are Silent, and Not With Their Mouth Professing & Confessing....

Those who are silent and fear....
Will never enjoy the abundant fruits that await all who are true to HIS Holy Word  declaring HIS full filled promises in and through us!

For as HIS Word says: "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say....  You say so!

You cannot have HIS bountiful blessings chasing you down if you silently await for someone else to come along and bring correction in places of severe defiance of Almighty God and or HIS Commandments!

And as a mother or father...head of household what are you doing to send your family members out for their day with the protection of the Mantle of Almighty God??

How about starting your family's morning with a scripture reading around your breakfast table...and asking each child and family member how or what special will they that day to lead even one lost one to Jesus?

And after each shares their ideas and all encourage encourage & strengthen each family member..
Father, Mother Brother or Sister who is the head of your household...anoint the foreheads of each member as you send them out to be a bright beacon shining forth HE who is within them.

But be sure to not forget to ask a different family member each day to anoint and all lay their praying hands upon you, that you their husband, father, mother, sister or brother...leader not become weakened.

And keep on keeping on...speaking out for HIS Righteousness sake!

Anyone can be a silent fake...but you...all of you have been created in HIS own image to be greater than...men who just lay back and let others do everything.

As Pope Francis TWEETED today...  "If we have found in Jesus meaning in our lives we cannot be indifferent to the poor & the sad"

TWITTER only allows a few typed characters...and so I am certain that if he had the space of characters to continue that he to would also say:  We cannot be indifferent at all in any circumstances.

For God's Holy Word says:  "If You are not hot nor cold....I will spit you out of my mouth"

For our spoken words create at all times.

If we are speaking kindly, not demeaning nor critical...but speaking hope and confidence in God's Faithfulness to full fill all of HIS promises written in HIS Holy Word...

When with vitality and grace we encourage others to face their accusers with the Lord at their side and behind them always defending their charity and pureness of heart...

Then surely revival will fall across every land where you and I must and do to take a vocal stand...
Vocalizing the TRUTH with the authority our baptism in the Name of the Father, in the Name of the Son Jesus Christ, and in the name of HIS Most Holy Spirit!

And right now you can begin carrying this out adding your voice to be heard from the mountaintops of the World Wide Web Internet... as you right now share this blog on your Facebook and ask others to do the same and those on TWITTER let your FAITH like glitter shine forth as you TWEET & RE-TWEET this all over and over again!

May no one again be silenced by fear...but sing HIM new songs of honor and praise and watch multitudes of blessings come your way because you added your voice to HIS!  Amen Amen
