“What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.” (Genesis 28:15 NLT)
If it isn’t accomplished, He hasn’t fulfilled His promise, yet.

Visitation Time “Visit” in the Hebrew, paqad, means “to personally inspect and pay close attention to.”
Visitation Time
I sense a visitation Deep within my soul
I sense the promises of God Written long ago
I feel it in my bones Like a fire shut up now
But when the time is right He will reveal the how
The mysteries of God Continue to unfold
Truths from Ancient of Days Never ever grow old
I feel it in my spirit Coursing through my veins
The target indeed hit The time wasn’t named
What we prayed and sought Now purging through the land
Yes I feel it in my bones Another move by His mighty Right Hand
If you feel it too Stop and bend your knees
Pray for those you love Hearts of flesh that will believe
Ohhhh we feel it in our bones Nothing will thwart His plan
The fire of God’s Salvation Will rage across our land
Our God is a consuming fire! Hope changes everything!
In August of 2021, while recovering from the Delta variant of Covid, The Lord woke me early in the morning and said, “THE GOD OF SALVATION IS VISITING YOUR HOUSEHOLDS!”
I shared this word with close friends then later with my church, delving deeper into what The Lord meant. I have one (1) household, why the emphasis on the plural? There are many prophetic words that came forth after I received this word. The Hebrew aleph bet with the numerical value of two (2) is bet. The pictograph is the tent or the house. As I’ve studied, meditated, prayed, ask, and sought The Lord’s counsel, it is a word for His body of believers and for loved ones we are praying for. This is a promise from long ago, the time is now. Today is the day of salvation.
My prayer is that hearts will not harden, but respond and melt in His Holy presence. For it is God, Adonai, Eloheinu, Almighty Creator, The Sovereign LORD, Who is working both to will and to do FOR HIS GOOD PLEASURE.
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.
Until next time, thanks for listening with me. Laurette

Time is precious, I pray we don’t waste one second. Hold your loved ones close. Things can change in a moment. If there is something between you and a loved one, I have a few sound words of wisdom for all of us. While there is time; forgive it, get over it, move past it, deal with it, release it, refuse it, heal it, face it, and erase it.
If we do The Lord will redeem it! He longs to restore it. We can count on it!!!

“We glide along through the tides of time— so quickly gone, like a dream that fades at dawn, like glistening grass that springs up one day and is dry and withered the next, ready to be cut down!
Lord, who fully knows the power of Your passion and the intensity of Your emotions? Help us to remember that our days are numbered, and help us to interpret our lives correctly. Set Your wisdom deeply in our hearts so that we may accept Your correction.” Psalms 90:5-6, 11-12 TPT
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

During the Passover Seder (Order) we recite from the Haggadah (The Telling), “if You had only delivered us out of slavery or out from under the hand of the Egyptians cruel bondage, it would have been enough.” Yes it would have been enough, but there is so much more required.

The signs yes this season Hello springtime glory Thank you oh thank you For Retelling The Story
I’m reminded this morning the walk of faith is for the journey ahead. Yes, goodness yes, salvation is astoundingly, exponentially, abundantly more than enough, more than we could think or imagine; however, our Mighty God has a destination for His Church during this wonderful eon, or age, or kairos. A destination for this right and critical time.
“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 15:3-5, 20, 55-57 NKJV).
“The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.” Song of Songs 2:11-13 TPT
Peach tree after serious pruning. Looks to be saying TaDa!
Don’t miss this wonderful Resurrection Season that speaks of heavens glory. He is reminding us that we can rise from any hardship. The enemy is a master distracter but Oh our God has so much more in store.
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

Why now this time of travel I don’t recall mention of this No it was Hail Mary highly favored I’ve been sent to tell you this
You shall conceive and bring forth a son You are to call His Name Jesus journey to Bethlehem now part of the story House of bread, now Living He frees us
We can look back now At traditions we’ve been taught Have we forsaken reality Is it exactly as we thought
It really wasn’t so silent On that starry night Only those engaged Were aware of this holy sight
The journey was very grueling Ninety miles in that day Was more of an arduous event For the two who were in the way
The journey had taken a toll On Mary you know in her condition She wasn’t really complaining Perhaps unsettled in the transition
For the two it wasn’t really calm Many were bustling all around Gathering into the village To register each in their own town
As history has painted Oh A glorious sight indeed But only to those who had chosen To bow their ear His Voice did heed
For the two who walked this out Their commitment was experiential But to those of us who read We know every detail very essential
He was working His plan of salvation God was going to redeem mankind Indeed the plan had already been written Having it’s beginning long before this time
A decree was written then issued requiring that all must register a census now would be gathered Could Caesar know about our visitor from heaven
Why now the need to take a count What better timing of events to record Written and spoken by the prophets Not one minute detail should be ignored
Coming up from Nazareth What did Joseph see The journey dangerous and hard Delivering to us, eternity
Wait this is just a business journey To Bethlehem for the two But how was Mary feeling Aware of what was to ensue
Oh this seat we have been given To view our Masters satisfaction They however were living this out Instructed only to follow a lawful action
When the days had been accomplished Mary’s delivery time had come All of heaven stooped to watch The Birth of Jesus her newborn Son
Yes we should keep records Of such marvelous timely events We do sit in the stadium of time Watching and waiting for redemptions ascent
He came to suffer Our sacrifice born to die But not once in Heaven is it recorded This event would make them cry
For all of Heaven rejoiced The Angels made a proclamation Because He entered in legally As God’s sacrifice for salvation
A glorious night yes I’ll say When shepherds heard the news Today in the city of David Good News, God’s gift was delivered for you
I realize this is exactly how God kept His people engaged and Involved. Normal people who were devout, living by faith and obeying the call of God… Christ was slain from the foundation of the earth so He had to be delivered to us and for us.
Those called and chosen were looking intently for the consolation of Israel through God’s Promised Deliverer and Messiah. God continually updated and notified His people through the prophets. Each step along the way until the day came and angels heralded from heaven, “Good news today in the city of David a Savior is born to you. A host of heavenly angels jammed the airways and only to a certain few came the heavenly announcement! He’s Here! They couldn’t wait to go and tell others all they were told and heard. The Light of God for a dark and lost world has been delivered to you! Immanuel, God with us!
“The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:10-11 NIV
God sent word from heaven, His promised delivery, The Messiah, The One foretold through the prophets for centuries had been delivered just as God said. Consolation would come through God’s King born as a babe, and the virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son. Yes just as it was prophesied.
Today we have a marvelous gift, God’s tracking system, available and preserved. The Holy Bible! Scriptures track all the events and allow us to track and see how God Indeed has lived and moved among us, His people from the beginning. He has never left us without hope.
Those willing to ask, to seek, to knock will find, and the door will be opened.
I pray during this season of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Christ our Savior born to save us, we pick up and really read our Bible. The word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Take time in the coming day to research the tracking of the first Christmas Gift given. The first Christmas was the heavenly gift Born to deliver us from a dying world. The gift given by God, who gave His only begotten Son that many would come home for Christmas. Yes that is why we celebrate the season of Christ-mas!
Merry Christmas
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom!
“So they ran into the village and found their way to Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in a feeding trough.
But Mary treasured all these things in her heart and often pondered what they meant.” (Luke 2:16, 19 TPT) I find too often the romanticized and dramatic themes surrounding the events may well diminish the reality.
Why would Mary need to ponder the words of Gabriel, or the shepherds and others for what they meant? Did she not know, did she not understand?
Could she see the trough was to be a sign, a picture of a future fulfillment? Could she understand that giving birth in the Temple Stable would also be pointing to a futuristic time? How could anyone not understand all this? Did Gabriel mention or take time to explain to Mary the harsh grueling reality facing her and her newborn babe? Did he? This painting hangs in my house becoming one of my favorite. To me this is the reality. A young husband obedient to messages received in dreams and a young woman with a promise from a supernatural encounter with the one who stands in the presence God. Mary now a new mother giving birth all alone with a man she hasn’t even been intimate with, giving birth in the Temple Stable at Migdol Adar. The place where lambing was overseen for the sacrifices. The lambs for Temple sacrifice at Passover had to be without spot or blemish. The lambs wrapped and swaddled to protect them from blemishes during the awkward stage, did anyone see the symbolism? Did Gabriel explain all these signs to Mary? Or was she ushered along the way? Was she amazed? Was she astounded? Was Joseph amazed? Did they live life day to day?
I believe it is safe and secure to say God used the OANTKB?
On a need toknow basis, (the giving of information that has remained secret or kept hidden until it is needed to be shown or known by a particular party or parties.
Would Mary and Joseph question their call? Would Joseph ever question or ask why me. Would Mary wonder asking herself if she heard correctly? Would Mary ever say did I imagine this? I believe it is completely reasonable to say yes they did because they like us are human. But oh the joy unspeakable as they sit in heaven today knowing their role changed history and is still the greatest GIFT ever given to mankind. The gift of our Savior born of a virgin laid in a feeding trough…
Be careful when thinking the decorations
And all of the festive trimmings
Are the meaning of the Christmas season
Because it is in giving, His love was brimming
Yes Christmas would come in the form of a babe
Swaddled and lain in a manger
But the love poured out, that is the gift
Couldn’t have felt any stranger
Yes the true cost of love is to Give
Insurmountable, amazing and immeasurable
For the real Christmas story is told
His love came down and it was inevitable
How can you receive this gift that came at Christmas
Well lets look to see if it comes with instructions
Oh yes I’ve found them in His own words
How about this for the introduction
Repent and be baptized simply believe
The gift of Love, Christmas has truly come
New life New Hope, The Gift
God’s perfect gift, His only begotten Son!
Yes we celebrate the birth of Christ
Can you believe this story is true
The only gift fit for our King
Here’s hoping to Heaven you do

Today I moved these wooden word plaques to a different area. I had the tape measure ready. Wanting them centered and even, I was holding them trying to get a visual of how I wanted them arranged. I wasn’t sure if I would leave a space in between each one or have them touching. Grabbing them and holding them together I decided on the placement seen in the picture.
I thought this is it and grabbed for my tape measure. Just when I did I had a revelation: If you center hope the placement for faith and love become simple.
Tonight the sunset was so spectacular that I had to grab my camera and go get some pictures. You can have hope in the midst of madness, you can have hope in a tunnel of turbulence, and you can have hope in the center of crisis. The sun shining in the center of the clouds made the colors magnificent. Keeping Jesus in the center will give us the beautiful prize to run after.
I love when The Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain and shows me a message in a message. Yes I felt like God was speaking to me in my simple task. “Center hope” and faith and love line up. Keep Jesus as the anchor for your soul and have hope in God. Then just like we see, faith and love automatically hem us in. And by all means do not leave a space in between. These three are to be continual just as the apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13.
“Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love–yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” (TPT).
In a time of evil and violence I choose to have Hope (Hebrews 6:19) as my center, with faith and love hemming me in. How about you?
Sharing my thoughts brought about by the first glorious Sunset in June and rearranging some simple wooden word plaques and a word from The Lord that changes everything. Keep your eyes fixed and feet shod. And by all means if you see injustice do all you can to stop it. If you cannot stop it, report it.
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.
Until next time, thank you for listening with me. Laurette
We owe the brave men and women who fought for our Nation a great debt of gratitude. What we do with the freedoms they have helped secure is how we show or shun their sacrifice.
Have we become distant and disengaged?
“During the Civil War there were some many casualties that nearly every citizen in the United States was directly affected by the conflict. Families and friends of soldiers who lost their lives decided to honor the sacrifices made of the fallen by spending a day of the year decorating their graves, with the rise the establishment of military cemeteries around the nation transformed into a community event.
On May 30, 1868, the first official Decoration Day was declared by General John A. Logan and observed at Arlington National Cemetery. Volunteers decorated the graves of more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers.
During World War II, decoration day was expanded and renamed Memorial Day to honor all Americans who died in military service. The day became a national holiday in 1971.” (Information from PBS)
As nations rise–Prepare the way And glorify the Name of Jesus Christ
Memorial Day
I hear their words
Telling of this story
Accounts of history
While recounting the glory
We should take a moment
Let’s get silent and hush
Listen as they speak
What is it they are saying to us
We never intended to fight
We didn’t comprehend
For reasons then unknown
Fashioned by God’s own hand
Born out of war
Hearts cry to be free
Then fought again to secure
Laying down our life for liberty
Fought against brother
To put an end to slavery
Ushered into 2 World Wars
Reunited in bravery
Fighting had divided us
The call to war we United again
When they thought to overtake
Destroy this great land
We gathered around
Raised this battle cry
God bless America
Protect her or die
Marching off to war
Cost exacted to be free
Willingly we gave all
Paid the price of Liberty
What we didn’t know
Could never envision
That it could be forgotten
Throw some in derision
Statues torn down
Memorials banished
What is their purpose
What If our memories vanish
We speak from the grave
Hear our battle cry
Oh brothers and sisters
Kiss this apostasy goodbye

We ask of you
Never Let them forget
Don’t allow our memories to gray
Or cause us regret
For we do shudder to think
You cannot imagine
Where you would be today
Trust me you cannot even fathom
The battles we fought, gave our all
We would do it again
Will you protect
Fight and Take a stand
Memorial Day A day to remember
People of God unite
Life liberty and justice are in your hands
If you exercise your voting right
This past month The Lord has expounded to me that the United States of America has been a warring Nation since our inception. I believe the curtain was pulled back allowing me to see this truth. The USA, the Nation who desired to not war was born out of war, for war, to war and secure and protect our religious freedoms. Their sacrifices allow us today to take the next step.
We fought for our freedom from Europe, then we fought over morality. After this we were drawn into two World Wars. We’ve had other wars, Korean, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War, bringing the total number of causalities to 1.1 million who gave their lives.
You may he asking how this applies. Think about this; the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached to the world from the United States of America. Today we have a fight on our hands. I would hate to think their battles were in vain.
I cannot sit down and be quiet nor am I supposed to. I will not silence the battle cry. It is time to stand up, speak up, and show up. Anything less would be disgraceful.
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

These are Pentecost clouds. They have the appearance of steam and mist that rise up and come from rolling waves. There has been so much talk about Tsunamis. I think this is a picture of an outpouring.
At Sinai, God, handed down to the children of Israel The Law of God. At Pentecost He poured out over and into His obedient ones His goodness, writing His laws in our hearts and on our minds.
This goodness is secured only by the blood and passion poured out by Jesus Christ. Today at sundown begins the last week of Pentecost. Today is day 43 of counting the Omer. It is also Jerusalem Day. On Shavuot the Torah was given and at Pentecost Holy Spirit came as the sound of a mighty rushing wind… Are you ready?
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.
Until next time, thank you for listening with me. Laurette
Through her struggles, trials, hardships, lessons, losses, wins, victories, and the many tragedies, I watched her life go from rags to riches. No earthly wealth that some would call riches. But peace with God through forgiveness, that brought an afterglow to her life. We had many supernatural experiences, more precious than diamonds, and more costly that gold. For this I am so grateful.
Due to extreme hardships her beginning was not effortless grace on a sofa of luxuries. Some would describe her as hard, or maybe callous but underneath was the heart of gold. However, I’ve yet to meet or find a more loyal, determined, tenacious, ferocious mama bear; not only to hers but others along the way. I never saw her quit.
I watched our mother work; (becoming her helper in later years), long hours, rebuild after life changing tragedy (more than once), work to repair damage caused by mistakes made, give back, help others, and train and equip employees, and mentor many women along her journey. But I never saw her quit.
She gave me the best she had; I am a better woman today for it. Because I never saw her quit.
I’m grateful I had a front row seat in the redemption story of the life of my mother, Donna B. She was not only my best friend on earth, but also my mentor, my encourager, my trainer, and disciplinarian when needed. After a few experiences I became a quick study, thankfully not a lot of discipline was needed.
Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. When I watch others with their moms today I will smile; I don’t cry like I thought I would, I just smile and wonder what the reunion in heaven will be.
My desire to make her proud is as strong today as it was when she was here on earth. Her early years of sadness were difficult, but I witnessed the great exchange, God gifting her the oil of joy for mourning, in her latter years. Because she never quit.
I fight and win today, in the blessings God is gracing me, knowing this is for and from her losses. I am walking in the fullness of hopes and prayers she prayed, the prayers she thought went unheard. The prayers she believed wouldn’t come true or didn’t manifest. They didn’t in her life, or her mother before her, but I know I am gleaning from these precious fruits. How could I not run the race set before me? When she didn’t quit.
I am the recipient of seeds sown by the strong women who have gone before me. I glean from gardens I didn’t till or weed, eat choice foods I didn’t harvest, because she paid a price to bring recovery alive in our family. For this I am grateful. And I never saw her quit.
She wasn’t perfect to others, but she was to me.
“Because I never saw her quit.”
She tried quitting a few times but a swift warning from someone she loved and respected jarred her into reality. And then she never quit.
We have a promise from Christ; to those that overcome I will give them a seat with Me.
Here and now, but for eternity to come. Because they never quit, we persevere and never quit!
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21 KJV)
“She searches out continually to possess that which is pure and righteous. She delights in the work of her hands. She gives out revelation-truth to feed others. She is like a trading ship bringing divine supplies from the merchant. Even in the night season she arises and sets food on the table for hungry ones in her house and for others.
She wraps herself in strength, might, and power in all her works. She tastes and experiences a better substance, and her shining light will not be extinguished, no matter how dark the night. She stretches out her hands to help the needy and she lays hold of the wheels of government. She is known by her extravagant generosity to the poor, for she always reaches out her hands to those in need. She is not afraid of tribulation, for all her household is covered in the dual garments of righteousness and grace. Her clothing is beautifully knit together— a purple gown of exquisite linen.
Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days. Her teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from her lips. She watches over the ways of her household and meets every need they have.
So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for she has become a radiant woman and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city!” (Proverbs 31:13-15, 17-22, 25-27, 31 TPT)
The lovers of God will be glad, rejoicing in the Lord. They will be found in His glorious wrap-around presence, singing songs of praise to God. (Psalms 64:10 TPT)
Trying to figure things out can get us in a rut, and unwillingness to change can leave us stuck in the rut of our own making.
If our schedules get too busy we can lose our sense of balance, now in light of covid 19, we find not going about our normal lives and routines has created different issues, throwing us off balance. What is right? What is safe? Who has the answers? Who can we believe? Can we believe what we hear?
Balance is a function of the inner ear. I’m a logical person, so when something doesn’t make sense it will throw me off balance.
It’s nice and comforting when life makes sense, right? If something is off or out of balance I need clarity and resolution. For me to keep my composure and balance, I require an intelligent conversation about the subject with someone I trust. One thing I really valued working for Concord Hospitality, was that conflict resolution and valuing people was key. It was never acceptable to walk away from issues, without both sides offered (at least attempting) understanding, why and what. Asking questions was not only allowed it was expected. So when someone doesn’t know how, or will not allow discussions for clarity this throws me off balance. If motives are pure and upright and honest, what is the problem? Right?
God desires truth in our inward man or inner being. I am reminded the inner ear is where balance functions. There is fluid in the inner ear. If I understand correctly what I read, this area resembles a level and functions the same way. If the fluid gets out of balance we can have the feeling or sensation of dizziness. As I was thinking about the function of the inner ear and comparing this to truth to the inward man, I have a clear realization. It is from this place our spiritual and emotional balance, is managed, and maintained. I see a direct correlation to balance and what The Lord is saying.
The inner ear has two main parts. The cochlea, which is the hearing portion and the semicircular canals, is the balance portion.
How can I be sure my actions are pleasing to God ? Can I be certain? Can we know and have understanding? Does the bible give us clear directions?
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV)
We find ourselves facing trials and obstacles we’ve never endured before. We do not have to know the outcome to remain balanced and have peace now. We are assured in the scripture above, that God, has reserved a place where He can communicate with us. There is a place He has access to, a place above our limited human understanding; a place where He can and will communicate with us. This communication guards our hearts and minds, when we set aside the anxiety and talk with Him. This is covenant talk, Face to face and Holy Spirit to our spirit.
We are comforted, realizing we are in His care. During this time of uncertainty we have a God who promised to lead us and guide us. I continue to remind myself to beware of distractions and foolish arguments, while not being lulled into complacency. I’m seeking God pleasing balance concerning the issues facing us.
We are assured of this, the body of Christ must remain in prayer concerning the virus, our Nation and others, our president and the upcoming elections.
This election will make or break us America. I pray our heart is right before God. I pray Christians vote and that all votes secure a moral and God fearing future.
“for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection]. (1 Corinthians 2:2 Amp.)
but just as it is written [in Scripture], “things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].”
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2, 9 AMP
Those who love Him…As we hold firm, we will see the glory of God revealed.
God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.
