Love ALWAYS wins!

 The 2026 Winter Olympics are over.  I'm sure you all know that but, if you've been like Robert and me, you have enjoyed seeing the athletes who are THE BEST IN THE WORLD competing with each other. 

  Pairs skating remains, and probably will always be, my very favorite event to watch.  How absolutely beautiful a couple is who has trained together for months to be totally in sync as they listen to the music together and cover the ice as easily as we walk.  So many times I just gasped as their hard work drew the crowd into what they were feeling together.  It is just sooo beautiful and, if you haven't seen it, I'll share a video below of one of my favorite couples.

  I must add that my husband and I drew a lot of pleasure from watching the event called curling.  Oh my goodness--the precision required is breathtaking.  We learned since then that our capital city, which is 60 miles away, has a curling team.  OH BOY  I wonder if we can stay away.  lol

  This devotional today is so awesome and so what we all need to remember.  When God's love flows through us, His peace fills us completely.  It's the only way to live.  

  I need to get going but I hope you are blessed as you ponder how easy it is to let God's love change everything for the better.

  Til next time

I Hear His Whisper...

Let love rule.

The revelation of truth can only come through my love. As you live in my love, I will show myself through your life and through your words. Many are those around you who need me; love them, and they will see me. As my Word says, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but the spirit of love. My holy presence will spill from your heart as you overflow with my love. Many will attempt to distract you from this treasure, but your eyes are fixed on me, and I will hold you fast in my love. Let all other things become supplemental to love. Love must rule your life, words, actions, and mindset. Loving must become the primary motive of your life. The deepest desire of your heart must be to know and love me first, then to pour that love out to others. Let love compel you. Let compassion lift you. Let wisdom lead you, and the enemy will never be able to trick you into guilty service. See what I’m doing and remain in sync with my Spirit, and you will never be sucked dry or step outside the healthy boundaries of love.

I Hear His Whisper written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

1 John 4:20 TPT

Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see?

Curling anyone?

 Hi everybody,

  It's been busy here with lots of sick clients needing my help.  Then, too, my large family seems to need my help for someone nearly every day.  For newcomers, I am a Certified BodyTalk practitioner going on 19 years of service.  Here is our website if you want to learn about how BodyTalk helps the body to heal:  https://bodytalksystem.com/   

  I have been trained and can do BodyTalk from a distance if anyone needs my help.  It's like praying for someone and they get better.  When I set my intention to help an organ to heal, it works with the client's brain to bring healing.  A woman named Elizabeth set her intention to help me heal back in 2007, when I was dying from shingles on the brain, and that's why I'm alive.  I love passing it on to others who can't find answers to their perplexing health issues.  You can reach  me at linkstohealing@gmail.com if you want to book a session.

  Anyway, during long Winter nights, Robert and I like to watch a movie together.  These past few weeks we've been watching the Olympics and our favorite event is curling.  I had no knowledge of curling before this year and it is fascinating.  It reminds me of when my dad taught me to play pool in my teen years.  Sometimes the skill in a certain shot takes my breath away.  It is just amazing to see the precision but, of course, this is the Olympics.

  I thought perhaps you'd like to have a taste of curling, too, so I'm sharing a video of it at the Olympics.  This is where the US team was winning so it's a fun one.  The last 3 games the men's Team USA have lost their games so I'm NOT going to show you those.  :)

  Here's to excellence in whatever God has called us to do.  Let's all be or BEST for our wonderful loving God who made us!

  Keep warm everyone,

  Dawn

PS  I should say that we learned there are 10 ends in a game. Each team tries to keep their stones closer to the middle of the circle.  The opposing team tries to knock their stones away from the center.  There's a lot of shouting because, those who are brushing off the ice aren't able to watch where they should be going, so their teammates help them know where to guide the stone.  It's amazing how the teams work together.

   

GROW ON PURPOSE!

 Hi everyone,

  We've been enjoying seasonal warm weather for February in North Dakota.  It looks like it will change here soon though.  

  My knee is practically healed now as the Lord reminded me to make some more Nano Silver.  Once I began drinking that again, my knee started healing quickly.  Praise the Lord.

  Recently I found this teaching and it is an eye opener.  Lance wrote a book called GROW ON PURPOSE and I plan on ordering it soon.  If you have half an hour free, I urge you to listen to this too.  

  We're called to go into all the world and make disciples for the Lord not doubt that we are able to do so.  If you, like me, have doubts that you can accomplish in your life the mission He has for you, then please listen to this video.

  Here's to becoming ALL that our loving Heavenly Father NEEDS us to be!

  Hugs and prayers,

  Dawn

  

Not a Victor tonight! );

 We're doing ok.  I'm not even sure why the Lord wants me to write tonight when I don't have anything really important to write about.  I guess I should say that I don't have anything encouraging to say.

  I hosted our neighborhood lady's Bible study at my house yesterday.  As I prepared my home to be a pleasant calm spot to meet, I was attacked by the enemy.  

  I had refilled my bird feeders and was taking them out to the pole that holds them.  The feeders were sitting on the step and I very carefully went down the steps backwards as it's super slippery around here now.  

  Once on the ground, I reached for the feeders.  My body turned but my foot hit against something buried in the snow.  This kept my leg from turning along with my body and then I felt my knee snap.  OWIEEEE

  This is the knee that I tore a couple of tendons on a couple of years ago.  Those were on the outside of the knee, though, and these are on the inside.  Needless to say, I can hardly walk today.  The pain is pretty nasty and I am upset with myself for not being more careful.  

  So I'm resting a lot today but did manage to make supper for my guys.  I'm also washing the blue jeans so the guys have some pants to wear.  I guess those accomplishments will have to be enough for now.

  It just bugs me that I am injured again.  Please pray for this knee to heal quickly.  Like I said, I'm not really in an encouraging mood tonight.  Maybe I should look for a song.

  Found one.  I can honestly say that, without the Lord, I wouldn't even be alive.  He's patched me up so many times that I could never thank Him enough.  Still, here I am again needing His healing.

  I heard today on Lance Walnau https://lancewallnau.com/  that satan is attacking a lot of people who are earnestly serving the Lord.  He mentioned a book about how to stop these attacks.  When I know more, I'll share it here.   In the meantime, I'm sure you'll be blessed to listen to Lance as he has a clear understanding of how to deal with our hidden enemies.  

  Well, good night.  I suppose we should consider ourselves effective for the Lord when we are attacked like this.  Still, I'd much rather be effective at destroying the evil all around me.  Help me, Lord!

  Dawn

OH I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE, LORD!!!

 Today my heart is so heavy as I ponder our country falling apart.  Perhaps you have heard of all of the evil in the state of Minnesota?  That is the state that my daughter lives in!  How can I not be concerned for her family as they are under 100 miles away from there?  PLEASE pray for safety for ALL of the good people of Minnesota!

  Then this morning I read this about my President's safety.  They already shot him once and have tried repeatedly since then.  PLEASE also pray with me for the President of Peace who loves freedom for the whole world.  Those who have kept us all slaves, though, do not want him to be successful in destroying their dark network.  "Heaven help Donald Trump; his family; and his team."  This I pray every night.  I'm copying what I read just so you can see the urgency to cover him in prayers now.

A PLOT TO KILL THE PRESIDENT

The Secret Societies are behind the assassination attempts of your President and they are still trying to get him now. There’s a plot to kill your President in the works and the wolves are about to attack. Pray now, My children. Pray for the protection of your President. Pray over what he eats. Pray over what he drinks. Pray over every place he goes that I direct his path.

Pray over every form of transportation he takes. Pray because the wolves are getting closer and closer and they are ready to strike. The Globalists are pushing for this. They are demanding something happen now because a New World Order is falling apart and they know My David is not backing down and they know he’s not afraid. They know nothing will stop him unless they stop him first. My children this is an URGENT WORD for an IMMINENT ATTACK AGAINST MY DAVID. It’s not if but when. Your President needs you now more than ever. He needs you to be interceding. He needs you to help keep his arms up. He needs My prayer warriors to stand and fight against all these demonic attacks. This is urgent, an urgency to this word, an urgency My children to keep proclaiming life and not death and every attack neutralized against him in your country. The Globalists are after My son because of his defiance and he stands against them. The Globalists are moving in to move to use this weapon of mass destruction. They’re ready to pull the plug on the economy. They are ready to release another deadly virus, not just a virus you are thinking of – the virus they brought here to overtake your nation and it is Islam. They are ready to use their army of mass destruction to destroy your nation from within. They are ready to cause more havoc in your weather. The storm you have seen in your nation was them using weather modification to attack this nation and to cause death. This is urgent My children to pray against every type of attack. My church needs to keep standing against these demonic attacks against you in your nation and arise My children and arise – use My Name and arise and use My Authority I have for you. Arise and plead the blood of Jesus. It’s urgent and don’t delay. This will stop your enemies in a major way, says the Lord of Hosts.

 My heaviness took me to my sound system and the Lord had me choose STEVE GREEN's music.  As I listened to this first song, my heaviness vanished.  Jesus is in charge.  I can have His peace if I draw closer to Him!!

  I was only looking for this first song but I love the others, too, so I'm sharing them all.  May our loving Heavenly Father comfort you as He comforted me as I thought about drawing ever closer to our Lord and Savior.

  Love and prayers sent to all of my readers!

What is YOUR nature?

 I'm a naturally quiet person.  I am what they call a "Happy introvert."  When I can be with people, I am OVERJOYED.  That's my secondary Type 1 temperament.    I absolutely loved our new year's eve party and have relived that wonderful evening many times.  So I enjoy having people around me--even LOTS of people--for a little while! 

 My basic temperament is a Type 4 though.  This energy is inward with deep introspection which sometimes gets me into trouble.  lol  I don't know who has all heard of Carol Tuttle and her incredible book "IT'S JUST MY NATURE."  That information has made it easier for me to embrace how God made me.  I think I'll find a video of Carol explaining this.  Be right back.

  I found one.  Here Carol explains the Type 4 energy we were born with.  She has videos on the other 3 types also that you can find on YouTube by putting her name in the search bar.  I want to emphasize that my life changed when I came to understand the strengths of the Type 4 energy.  I was well aware of the weaknesses (perfectionism, judgementalism) but I hadn't been told my strengths.  

  Carol helped me to see myself as a whole person.  Type 4s judge not only others but themselves too.  I so did NOT want to be a Type 4 energy at first but that's because I had no idea what the strengths are of a Type 4.  Carol does such a good job of helping people accept, and even come to admire, the person that God made them.  Thank you, Carol.  She's a Type 3 by the way.

         

  

I also want to share with you this wonderful devotional from The Passion Translation.  How can a person not be encouraged reading these words of the passion God has for us?  

 

Lots to think about here,

 Sending love,

Encounter God’s Heart…

Stay a While

You have found favor with the Lord. At this very moment, God is extending an invitation into blissful encounter. He is your friend. Your Creator. Your patient, merciful Father, who is absolutely in love with you and wants to spend time with you. Don’t rush through this devotion without noticing the gentle tug of God’s Spirit. Take a few moments to quiet yourself in his embrace. Stay awhile. Be content, even if you don’t hear him say a word. Be still. Notice what it feels like to be washed in the beauty of God’s presence. Sink deep into an ocean of peace. He’s with you right now. He’s pouring out all you need for today. Gracing you with the glory of holy intimacy that is reserved for those who are willing to stay and enjoy.   Father, every breath is a reminder of your faithfulness. Each heartbeat designed to point me to your love. May an awareness of you drench my thoughts. May encounters of your nearness eclipse my busy moments. You are all I need. You are the experience I’ve longed for all of my life.   From Firstfruits written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

Genesis 18:2–3 The Passion Translation   He looked up and suddenly saw three men standing nearby. As soon as he saw them, he ran from his tent to welcome them. He bowed down to the ground and said, “My Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, don’t pass me by. Stay for a while with your servant.”

Are you Fighting a BUG?

 Hello everyone,

  How is your new year going so far?  It's bitter cold here now.  I feel so sorry for my menfolk who have to go out and work in our unheated grain cleaning facility.  At least our house is warm!

  Yesterday we got word that our second daughter is also "With child."  That means, if everything goes well, we'll have 2 more grandchildren by Fall!  Please keep our daughters in your prayers as neither one of them is young anymore.  

  Our children were raised with the pro-life agenda on steroids. With every miscarriage I had, their desire to welcome children grew and grew.  Now both of my married children are welcoming their 5th child.  Yes, it is exciting but it also makes me nervous.  So many things can go wrong BUT God is the giver of life and He has sent our family these children!

  I'm busy giving BodyTalk sessions as it's flue season again.  My guys caught a nasty bug and I'm fighting it off too.  Here's a suggestion that has been helping me.  It's tea made from cloves and orange peels.  I'll include the recipe here.  

I made a batch of this the other night.  I've had 3 cups of it now and my lungs really are opening up.  I recommend giving this a try.  Here's a list of things that clove tea can help with.  I think you'll see that it's worth a try!

  

Here's the devotional from the good folks at THE PASSION TRANSLATION.  They help me feel the presence of God more fully.  If you haven't done it yet, you may want to sign up for their emails.  

Encounter God’s Heart…

Accepted

At some point, Jesus will address impure motives. Trying to make everyone happy, so they won’t think poorly of you, is a motive that stems from a fear of rejection. Doing and saying things in order to honor others is commendable, but it will lead to burnout and eventually, bitterness. It’s impossible to please both God and others, and at times, you’ll be misunderstood. Instead of striving to earn others’ approval, live with a servant’s heart because it is your joy to do so; let it not be out of fear. Never let people bully you into service or force your obedience. Respect yourself, by letting others know how you feel in an honoring way. As you grow in your identity as the bride of Christ, you’ll gain confidence in what you are, or are not, called to do.   Father I seek to honor you in all I do. If there is any area of my life where I am led by wrong motives, reveal it to me. Help me to never trade your approval for the approval of other people. As I grow and mature, teach me how to carry myself with honor and respect both for myself and others. Let peace and wisdom guide my every decision.   From The Divine Romance written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

  Let's all live for the Lord and let Him lead us to our purpose in being on this Earth.  Mine is to help others heal naturally.  What's yours?

  Keep warm everybody,

  Dawn
