Does anyone feel the same way I do, that this year has flown by?  I can hardly believe that  Christmas is right around the corner, and we have been seeing it in all the stores since August.  I can remember as a little girl , Christmas came out after October but now…. things have really changed.

A few days ago I was in a Dollar General Store, which has some great little decor when you need a little something..{helpful hint!!! HA!}   I was having a dinner party in just a few hours and I ran in to purchase a serving bowl. I ended up getting more things than I thought and my cart was full, How does that happen??????? Anyway…in the process I broke a bowl. I left it in my cart and decided to take it to the front with me when I checked out.  When I got to the front I explained to the cashier that I accidently broke it and did I still need to pay for it?  His response to me was YES!! I must say I was shocked, I said to him ” Really, I am surprised.” I asked him nicely “what happens when employee’s break things? ” He said SHARPLY “we don’t break things!”  I must say I was taken back by his rudeness and I really wanted to respond …..in a negative way, but chose not to. I then asked “Was a manager on duty?”  My daughter Holly was with me and I knew she was thinking ” Mom Please??”  When the manager came I then just asked her the same question, her response was “no,  you dont have to pay!”  I was very thankful and expressed my gratitude to her and checked out and left the store.

You might say to me “ok”…. good story but……. well the “but” is… when I was putting my things in my car , a lady approached me and said “Ma’am, can I tell you something?” I replied and said “yes”  and she began to thank me for doing the right thing, she went on to say ,most people would have put the bowl on the shelf and never told anyone that they broke it and you chose to the right thing . I must say I was stuned….. she was behind me in line and was watching this conversation the whole time.

This was a great lesson that day, No matter what happens, just choose the right thing!  This lady didn’t know me, but my choice spoke to her that day. Our lives and our actions reflects our testimony . That day I walked away and was thankful that my character was greater than a $4.99 dollar bowl.

UNTIL BE REAL,

Have you ever had God just sneak something up on you? or, You felt He did…… You thought you were signing up for one thing and something else came about……… Well, I have had God do that to me many times, except this might have been the biggest. I have called Him “Jehovah Sneaky.” LOL!

Here I sit, in a graduate class in OKC, and I am in shock….. I was looking at my self and saying , How did I get here?????

School was never my thing. WELL??????? Maybe I should say …. I loved… some school… Art, Band , PE, Social clubs…. Ect. Ha!!! But MATH… it was never good for me. I was a “C” student and was proud of it!!!!   I did get “A’s” in Art and PE!  LOL!

I did go to college, in fact that is where I met my husband. I studied and did well , But  it has been awhile since sitting in a classroom…and actually having homework…. Yikes!!!!

I do believe God must have something in mind for me… something new, something different, shifts in my life? So… here we go on a ride with my Father God. With a Father that loves me  …………………. Jehovah- Shammah, THE LORD IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has God  been Challenging you do something different….and it is hard just to do it……. WATCH OUT!!!! JEHOVAH SNEAKY has a plan for your life and His plans are great and He wants you to have the best life………….His word says … I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD……. Jeremiah 29:11. WOW!!!  He is so faithful!!!!!!!!!!

UNTIL….. BE REAL!!!!!

So very sorry for not being on this blog.. but again we have had trouble with Technology!!  We cant live with out it, but when it has problems you have problems!! Do I hear a Amen!! Ha!!  Every thing is good now!!! Yeah!!

These past few weeks have been life changing. I am learning so much about God, and what He is in my life. How many of us pray and pray, and had prophetic words spoken over our lives , and nothing seems to happen?  I have, and God seems to have his own Timing, doesn’t He? I have become so impatient in this process at times… But my impatience doesn’t move God…

I just had to  give into the process….. and let God shape me, and re-shape me, and re-re-shape me………..That moves God!!!!!…..God didn’t have a problem …..but I did!!!!  I could not let go!!  Let go of  what? Me!…… I had to let go of me!!!! I cried … God use Me??????????????  He said… ” I WILL” … get out the way…and let me!!!!!!!!!!!  WHAT?????????? I am in the way????   YES!!!!!!!!!!

I was humbled before the mighty hand of God…. I cried… and said ” God forgive me… I want You and You really want me…. so I give myself to YOU….. ”   Take me, Use me, Fill me and I put myself in the potter’s hand once again!!

What about you? Will you let go and let God???? Let’s go together… and see what God wants to do through us !!!!!!! It will be an amazing journey!!!!!!!!!

Until… be real…

Love … PK

I just realized some of my posts have not gone through… so we must catch up with what is going on in my life.
Ha!!

Since my last post , I have come home from London. What a wonderful time we had there, we saw many people touched at the Grapevine Conference this year. I am so blessed to be a part of it. Thanks Stewart and Irene!

I also cannot believe it is September!! Fall is almost here. I love fall. Change of Season is always so exciting for me because lived in Florida where there isn’t much change.

Change is Fun to watch but not fun to walk through. My husband has said for years “a changeless God is always working change in me.” Those are shouting words until….. You walk through change!! Yikes!! It hurts!!!

But Change is necessary to grow. And I want to grow. So I believe as there is a natural season change, there is a Spiritual one in me!!

Are you ready for a change??? Let’s do it! God have your way in US.

Take us, use us, We are ready!!! We want you!!! We want what you have for Us and nothing less, so if it takes change … Then let it come. We run toward it, and not from it. Watch out here we come. Let Go And let God!!!!!

Keep it real, and be yourself!!! Until Next Time!!

Love, PK

I am so thankful to have this opportunity to be in London once again. As I walk and ride through these streets,it is amazing to me that are buildings here older than our country! The stories they could tell. Ha!

I am here with my family and that I am Most thankful… it has been a long time since we have been together overseas, and once again we have another trip to make many memories.

I love this family God has given me , and very thankful I can be called by them wife, mom, and grandma. They have been my life and this week being my birthday week, it is the best birthday present ever!

Love to all this week, remember be thankful for what God has done and what he is doing and what he is about to do…. and what he has promised for us….He will do! He is Real and He loves us.

Until…… Be Real!!!

Love, PK

Today has been a awesome day. I am so thankful for what God is doing in my life !

We are leaving in the morning for London. I have been packing and getting ready to go across the seas once again.

ONCE AGAIN! I can’t believe I can say that.

I grew up in St. Pete , Florida. I came from an average home. We were not rich, but I never knew that. Ha!!!

While growing up, I never thought about traveling the world. I only knew of nations from my history books and, knowing me, I probably didn’t listen in class, so I don’t remember much! LOL!!

After getting married to my wonderful hubby, he talked about going to all the nations and preaching the Gospel. WHAT??? We had to get our passports!!! Passport what is that??? I never even heard of those!!! Me… a passport. Just thinking of it scared me. And now here I am married to someone who wants to travel the world and has over and over again.

I must say I grew into where I am today. There was a time I got sick, threw up, broke out in hives, and had to suck on peppermints the whole trip! And please don’t talk to me on the plane. I couldn’t do it… I got sick if I turned my head! Wow!! And now people jet accross the nations and think nothing of it. It seems the world has gotten smaller doesn’t it?

Now… Here I am. Getting ready to go to London for the sixth time.

I am so thankful. I have been called with my hubby to travel this world. I have made so many wonderful friends over the years and it has changed my life forever !!!

If you ever have the opportunity to go, GO, overcome your fears and just go for it!!!!

Until … Be Real!!!

Much Love , PK

When I started this journey I told you that I would share the good and the bad….and part of this journey is just being real.

So, today was a different day! A day of challenges, a day of a few tears, and a day that I tried not to retreat over the pressures that seemed to be building in around me. I am sure that some of you can identify with this. Others may not, but for me days like this are real, And I have to fight through them.

Days like this are not easy! In fact they are terrible! It seems like when it starts it doesn’t seem to stop. One thing after another, I thought maybe today my forehead had engraved on it “be ugly to me , I can take it!!!” LOL!

I have to be real with you. I came home and had a good cry and ask the Father to help me.

Help me understand, help me overcome, help me love the people who were ugly to me. Just help me.

I know the Father heard my cry, and I know this day shall pass and a new day is dawning!!! Hallelujah!!!

I thank God for His Word and His promises over my life!! In Him
I live and move and have my being. Praise God!!! (Acts 17)

I hope this wasn’t to real for you, But it is the truth!!!

On a lighter note… I got dressed this morning , went to a meeting at the church , met with Sam Chand, went to lunch, then did some shopping , then went to dinner and ended up at my daughter Amanda’s home to see the grands. And she said “Mom why is your shirt inside out?”. Hmmmm? That was not good!!! Ha!

Until … Be Real…

Much Love, PK

Have you ever slurped a ICEE to fast, or ate ice cream to fast? Then had a brain freeze!!! And it stings for a few seconds!!

Well, after being in meetings the last 24 hours with Dr. Sam Chand, that is what I have, a frozen brain!!!! LOL!!

I know God is stretching me in every way. But it doesn’t have to be all at once, does it?

Listen, learn, learn and listen. Obtain Wisdom. That is what The book of
James tells us. I pray that over my life. I want His WISDOM… In Everything I do… Everything I say… so however it comes ….. I want it!

So, while my brain begins to melt from this freeze, and I begin to process everything I heard and learned today, I will keep tight hold to the things God is teaching me these days. I hear his voice and gentle nudging in my spirit now more than ever.

God is moving among us, are you listening ?!?! I AM!!!

Until…. Be Real!!!!

Love , PK

Today I decided That I needed a little “Retail Therapy” …. Hmmmmm… I really could use that everyday!!! Do I hear a Amen? Ha!!!!!

So, the thirfty shopper I am , I love to go to TJ Max, Ross, Marshalls. I do go quite often just to check everything out. I just might need something. Lol!!!

I found myself today in Ross , just looking and looking, and everything just looked the same to me. Same colors, same style, nothing just stood out. Everything just seemed boring.

As I stood in the store I felt the Holy Spirit say to me “Are you standing out? Does anybody in here even know that you are my daughter?” I stood there in silence and I realized that I was not born to be ordinary. I was not born to be another boring vase on a shelf. I was born to make a difference!!!!!!

I left that store with nothing in my cart, but my heart was full as I relized that even in Ross God was teaching me.

So until…. Be Real!!!!! Be Yourself!!!! And let God use you today wherever you go!!!!

Love, PK

Have you ever asked God “Why me Lord”? I asked that question myself many times!! It seemed sometimes that the pressure became so great …I didn’t know if I would make it!!!! I just didn’t understand “why?”.

But I did make it, and years later I totally undestand. I understand God was processing me so I could speak to another generation. This generation was waiting on my voice!!!

So the next time you ask God “why?”, remember there is a generation that needs you! It needs to know how you made it through the tough times, the hurtful times, the lowest times. They need you to tell them of His faithfullness, His love, His grace, and His mercy.

This is the generation that wants REAL!! They want real people, with A REAL Word!!!!

Don’t be afraid to share of God’s goodness!!!! And most of all just be real!!

In Him, PK
