New guy
I have to sleep sometimes. Nasty habit, since I don't have dreams, that I can remember upon waking, it's no fun. Must be my memory because I've sure read about Pocahontas several times, ha. Sorry to hear about your medical problems and will say a prayer for you. My family use to be huge also, everyone had at least six kids, but we've all moved away or died off, due to make a living or health problems. My dad's side of the family was not here as long as yours but I've traced them back to before the nation signed the declaration of independence. They got a land grant near Bullock Creek, S C., then migrated down south and on to CA. My family dropped off in MS. where I was raised. Grandmother was either Cherokee or Choctaw or a combination of both, best cook I have ever known and a real sweetheart. She had 22 grand children when she passed, so she did her part in repopulating the Earth. Grandfather was of Scot/Irish stock and was 6'4" but I got mamaw's height an only reached 5'6", ha. Mom's side is from Germany to the best of my knowledge, she was always kind of secretive
about it. She could hear and talk but most of the rest were deaf. She even went to deaf school because that was the world she fit in with best. Some cousins are deaf but most can hear and talk. So I know some deaf sign language. She was even born in a log cabin. Dirt poor both sides but great people for the most part but there were some black sheep. Know Papaw k**led a man in a knife fight in his youth and the story is the man had raped a friend of his. No one really knows for 100% sure. Okay, you take care. Got to go read my e-mail and check out my favorite blogs. Sorry about the skin walkers comment, it's just that I know that the super natural is real because the Bible tells me so, plus a few weird events. I want to know how to ward them off if they attack me.
After I called on Jesus they stopped, but you never know when they may come back. Talk with you later.
I have so many cousins and such, I cannot remember them all. I have four siblings, but they have at least three each, so yeah, we can go for a while. My oldest brother passed so I can definitely relate. My family is all over as well. Some are in NC, some SC, others GA, and still others in FL. That is just my living family that I know of or can remember. Tracing your family lines can become an obsession and you can find the bad, but you also find the good. Knowing your ancestors is important so you can know how to guide your future. Many of us are still poor in the government's eyes, but yet we really ask for no help from them. We do not look at ourselves as poor though. We just get by. I know these things such as skin-walkers is real, that is why it scares me. I know how to fight anything the adversary throws, and it is through Christ's name that we do this. There is a very real evil out there and it is important to know how to fight it.
I do not remember my dreams very often, as I do not dream much either. When I do dream, it is usually as a warning of things to come. I might cannot do anything about it, but at least I am warned. It is weird to not dream, but it is also recognized that some do not. If you do dream, I hope they are good. Once again I am awake and looking for a job. Ejobs are harder to come by than I thought. I will find one though and then I will be able to help pay the bills.
I make dream catchers and jewellery to sell at the flea markets here in the South. My quilts are made for different times of the year. I am working on a summer quilt now as it only has one layer of cotton batting. I also do winter quilts that are tripled and are heavy. I love the air to be cool while I sleep. I love the heavy blankets o the bed in the winter. I would make my house as cold as winter, in the summer, if I could.
I must go do something productive with my time. TTYL
That was a newsy mail, thank you. Know you will keep on keeping on while keeping the faith. Right decision and same here. When I was under six, I could ask God to let me dream about something and I would, like cowboys and indians, or space travel, horses, etc... since then not much. Know the problem is with me but still ask but haven't gotten a response yet but know it is coming. Mostly, I ask for a visit to Heaven or more of the Holy Spirit. In His time. Been reading and watching YT videos of the flat Earth ideas by Rob Skiba. Can't understand a lot of it but it's making more and more sense, believe it or not. It explains the progression of the stars and the four corners of the Earth and other difficult things I've wondered about in the Bible and explains things I've read in the book of Enoch. Ah so, didn't even know there are summer and winter quilts, learned something new today. Thank you. I really don't like cold weather much as I've had to work too much for too long in it. Surprised I've never lost any fingers and toes due to the cold and think I'm even more sensitive too it now. I prefer a nice constant 76 degrees if I can get it, ha. Okay TTYL as I have some chores I need to attend to also. JW
I like to talk, a lot. My fingers tend to get going when I am talking through them. I have found I like to talk with my fingers more than my mouth because well, my fingers are more eloquent and they do not have an accent. My Southern accent tends to throw some people. It is hard to understand me some times. I also like to talk to new people because they do not know my whole story. I can talk to them without pre-judgements on either side. Not so sure about the earth being flat, but it would explain, but if it is flat, what do we see when the telescopes in space show the earth and its storms?
The difference between the quilts is the padding in the middle. I do a thin layer for summer and a thick layer for winter. I am not sure if others do this or not, but I do because I can.
As far as the Holy Spirit visits, that is something that happens all of the time, maybe you do not notice. Think about the times you know something was going to happen before it did, or that you should go another way to work than the usual one. This is the Holy Spirit helping you. The Holy Spirit does not do things loud very often. The Spirit often is quieter than a mouse, it is just a whisper of a thought, but that is the Spirit. The Spirit whispers in our mind, not screams in our head. The loud screams are usually the one that steers you wrong.
I have to check out YouTube. Seems there may be some interesting things on there. Never have really followed it, but I guess I am going to look up some things. Have a great day. KM
Ha, nobody knows another person's full story. We all hide some of our pain full/shame full stuff. Yes I know when the Spirit is near, I get a warm liquid goose bump feeling from head to toe. It usually happens when I am praying or weeping. That's one way I feel His love, the other way I feel His love is when I do wrong and He spanks me. Sad to say He has spanked me many times in my life. Sometimes I know my thoughts are not really my thoughts when I discover something new about God.
Yes, if you are out of work for the time being watch some You Tube stuff... just type something you're interested in and boom, there it is in a "mostly" entertaining video. Like I use to pay for cable, just so I could watch Fox News, then I learned I could watch it on the net, saved me money. I mostly watch stuff like how to raise fish, build a green house, automatic gate opener using a garage door opener, you know redneck stuff, ha. Let me know what you find, bet there is tons of quilt stuff too. Hope you are having a pain free day. JW
Hello!~ Sorry it took so long for me to get back with you. I have been busy dealing with the aftermath of a car wreck. I have been driving with narcolepsy but the doctor has not taken my license so I still drive. Well, I was going to pick up my husband from work, he works second shift from 3to11, and I fell asleep at the wheel. I hit a curb, bent the tie rods, blew out the tires, and found out I was driving on a suspended license. WIth this, I have had to get the money for the expense of towing and working on it. $1,000.00 later, I am still paying. Now, it is the DMV. But, if all I have to pay is 55.00 more, rather than $657.00, then I will. I have done a fine job of messing up our budget. Anyways, I have been crazy busy. I have also been working on an article for an interview that will be on a blog called deborahspotlight.com. I hope to be published there soon. It will not be for money. I am an intern there and am fulfilling the end of my contract. Hopefully, being published will get some attention from some people. I would love to do copy editing. I am great at that. I am an editor at another of my internships. I would love to segue into a job, but I do not hold high hopes for that. It has been great for the experience though and I am the lead editor over three interns. I hope this experience will help me very soon. I need a paying job. I think I am going to have to pay for a job site search or something. Maybe upping my LinkedIn account would help. I do not know. I want to move to where my parents live so I can help them in their senior years. They are getting too old to do certain things and I want to help them, but I live so far away. If I move, I will be further from my daughter and grandchildren, but closer to the people that need me. I am torn between the two. My daughter wants to move there, but she is a bit...how to say it delicately...loose and my parents would not appreciate the way she raises our grands. I do not like it, but I cannot live her life for her. I worry about the way my grands see the world and the way women are to be. All I can do is pray that they see the world differently than their mother does. I have talked your eyes out so I will say goodbye. Have a wonderful day and may you dream and dream well. KM
Wow, sounds like you have had a interesting time recently. Glad you weren't injured but h**e that your vehicle was damaged. Unexpected cost can sure blow a hole in a budget in a hurry. Will check out deborahspotlight.com blog to see if your article has posted yet. I can certainly relate to the family dynamics too. I'm in the process of having to sue my half sister because she is trying steal my home. She is in for a rude awakening as I own the land she is living on rent free but that may change also after we finally go to court. She moved her daughter into my home w/o asking and now I have to go to court and get them out. Sad when family try to use you like that. Go be with your parents. Kids have to learn from their own mistakes. Until the free baby sitting and money is cut off they will never stand on their own two feet. Okay, you take care and I hope everything works out and try not to feel guilty. You're honoring your parents and it's the right thing (says so in the Bible) and a good example for your daughter to witness. JW
I have everything straightene3d out about the wreck. I have my license back and I am legal. I h**ed not driving. It is a perk that will all too soon be past me. There will be a time when I do not drive, but if I go by my granddaddy I will drive well into my 90's. I am sure I will be a terror.
I am looking forward to having my interview posted, but I am not so sure about the platform that the blog stands on. I think they are a little on the feminist side, They do not want to acknowledge the male role in our society as much as they want to recognize the female role and how it can be a male role too.
I am so sorry to read about your family issu8es. It is so sad when a family does not get along and they hurt each other. Family makes us who we are. What a shame your family is so rude.
I do not get to see my grands but once a month, if that. I do not have the luxury of giving free babysitting, but my parents will come first. They are important to me and they gave me life and cared for me even when I did not care for myself. I will not let them go into a residential care facility or home if I can help it. My mom would have to take me to the hospital in the middle of the night because of asthma attacks, and the hospital was 45 minutes away. She would stay up all night with me when I was sick. My dad held my hand when they stitched my foot. No, they will have me to take care of them. They deserve at least that.
I hope you have a great night and good luck with your case. KM
As Willie Nelson would say, you're "On the road again", just keep it between the ditches this time. One brother in FL, is always sending me jokes about little old lady drivers down there. I visited the blog you mentioned and had the same opinion, a tad too much SJW stuff, but hope you get published all the same. Don't worry about me and my sister, it's mostly her husband, he got ticked at me a few years back when I ran off his son, who does crack, and was snooping around my place for stuff he can steal and get money for. The daughter is almost as bad and had stolen things from my wife on several occasions. When I'm around they can't get away with that behavior, but I couldn't always be around and that's when they would strike. The daughter is the one who caused problems for me and my wife and is now living in my home. She is getting out, one way or another. Sounds like you had great parents. My dad would always say (when I hurt myself) "do that again, I didn't see it from the start", but the one time I really needed a doctor, he took me and the doc, and he took me straight to the operating room and cut out my appendics(sp). Good luck with your parents. JW
I am sorry to hear the drama that plays out in your life. Drugs can turn an honest person into a k**ler. Friends of mine were k**led by their best friend because of drugs. He stabbed their children to death, and he held them and they called them uncle. It is a shame that so much time is wasted on fighting a plant rather than fighting drugs.
The family is important, but when members are not true to the family, then they must be handled according to their actions. Unfortunately, this is the way it has always been. God even told us how to handle the family because He knew it was going to be bad.
Yes, I do have amazing parents and in-laws for that fact. I am truly blessed beyond measure in the family department. Mine is one you want for an eternity. I had my appendix removed and my parents were there every day, 45-minute drive one way. I can only return the favour and be there for them. I know this will work out, I am just unsure how. God's plans are beyond my comprehension. I just know what should happen.
Well, I have to go and find something productive to do with my time. Thanks for talking to me. TTYL. KM
It's always a pleasure to talk with nice people... especially those who know when it's time to be quite and when to go home, ha.
