It's tough for me to be on here these day with so much in our lives transitioning and as I'm working hard to get my physical health back on track!! but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to share with you what God spoke to my heart this year...Every year is tough for me (having no children but desiring them deeply) but this year came with peace for the first time in a long time.... When I was young, both my mom and I remember I’d say: “I don’t want to be a mom… I just want to be a grandma.” Innocent words at the time. But now, at 50 years old, it kinda makes ya wonder. LOL. Because I don’t have children of my own in the natural sense, but somehow God has filled my life with children I get to love, pour into, help raise in small ways, cheer on, pray over, and be “Aunty” to. And honestly… that matters to me more than I can explain. There are little ones, young ones, and even grown ones who look up to me, trust me, love me, and let me have a place in their lives. And every once in a while, I’ll stop and think, “Lord… You really do have ways of fulfilling things we don’t even understand when we’re saying them.” Isaiah 54:1 says: “Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud… For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord. I know this verse carries a much bigger promise, but it comforts me personally too. Because God doesn’t only build families one way. Sometimes He gives you children through birth.Sometimes He gives you children through love.Sometimes He makes you an aunty, a mentor, a safe place, a prayer covering, a steady voice, a soft landing. And I love how God can take the places that could’ve felt empty and fill them with purpose, laughter, relationship, and legacy. Maybe I was never just saying I wanted to be a grandma. Maybe somewhere deep inside, I was saying I wanted to love generations. And by the grace of God… I get to. 💛 Love Y'all Be Salty & Stay Lit!

Thanks to all who prayed! MRI results will arrive in 4-5 days. In the meantime I've been asked to go get x-rays on my upper spine and found out there's a possibility that the carpal tunnel in my right hand has returned even though I've already had surgery :-( this world sucks LOL.. I'm soooo looking forward to my new promised perfect body!! Met a man who was in for injections in his spine and after hearing him talk to the nurse and developing compassion for him the Lord prompted me to pray for him. In talking to him he mentioned having three hip surgeries and I mentioned him about my three back surgeries. I expressed to him that the only thing that got me through was having Jesus. He immediately teared up so I invited him to sit beside me. He said to me "I've been to church and I have a Bible at home but...." Then he choked up and he began to cry more. I asked if I could pray for him and he nodded yes. I asked his name but he couldn't speak it through the tears. I told him God knows his name already I don't need to know it and continued to pray for him. He was so moved and so touched that I could feel it in my own spirit. When I opened my eyes the MRI tech was standing behind me waiting to take me in. He then offered me music and he asked if I wanted Christian rock or Christian rap LOL God is everywhere and all we have to do is say yes. This world might suck in the way of things being broken, bodies, situations, all kinds of things that are broken. But when the love of God touches us deeply it breaks through all of it even if just for a moment... I really believe it can change us. I still don't know this man's name but I urge you to please just pray that God will continue working on his heart. Have you had the opportunity to pray for anyone lately? Would you tell us about it? How did God move?

Ladies meet my friend and sister @Destinee Ulutoa !! Welcoming crew!!! @Berni Sharkey @Raven Kingfisher @Summer Gilbert @Lynda Zimmer @Colleen George @Betty Henniger @Sammie Harder

Let me introduce you to your beautiful sister in Christ... Emilia! Emilia is a part of both the YWAM and the OCC Family and we love her dearly! Sadly she is not being allowed to stay in Canada right now because of a visa issue so she will be having to unexpectedly travel to the Mexico YWAM base so she can continue being the amazing servant of the Lord she is. Emilia is a warrior. She knows her authority in Christ and is not afraid to use it! Let's pray that the 🔥🔥🔥 God has called her to carry, will be burn wild and hot in Mexico!! If you know Emilia, you would know she never asked for anything. She simply trusts explicitly in God's provision....(and she doesn't know I'm posting this). She dedicates herself to serving as a volunteer full-time with YWAM and truely is a Woman of Grit & Grace! If God puts her in your heart and you would like to support her with money going towards here buying an unexpected plane ticket....please go see her or send it to me (please reach out privately ) and I will gladly pass it on. When I was fundraising to be in full time ministry, it took very little to sustain me. Needs were pretty low, but there were still needs....and unexpected things were always a challenge to stay in trust....but God always brought people....I was so thankful to have amazing support from those who really love me and believed in what God has called me to ... I believe this for Emilia! What is God saying to your heart right now? Let us know in the comments.❤️

Dear sisters in Christ I’m sorry I haven’t been in the group much I have been very sick with this flu. Still not doing so well it’s been a week already and not much improvement up the first time today sat in my chair for a bout 15 minutes actually ate a boils egg and kept it down for as long as it took me to leave the table to the bathroom.
