Hand Made By God ~Signed & Dated

It is once again in the middle of night and I find myself typing So I can share with you how good God is.  I am not sure why it is in the middle of the night I find myself sharing God's word, but when I can't sleep and start asking God and Praying that I am 

obedient to his voice I am lead to my keyboard.

I can't share anything unless I have experienced it myself and have partaken in it myself. So here I am sharing with you what has been made real to me.

Hand Made By God Signed & Dated

On all of my dolls now, I sew on a piece of fabric that has a picture of a sewing machine on it.  I then sign and date it, then there is a little heart charm sewn on that says "Handmade with love" 

All of this had me thinking how we are God's Workmanship, His Handiwork

I love how The Amplified Bible Says This

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].  Ephesians 2:10

First lets go to the beginning...In Genesis


I think how God Made Us, He made us not only in His image, but according to His likeness. Genesis 1:27 (this is a whole other thing I would love to go in depth on a later date)

Just like when  I make doll I know how to stuff my doll a certain way, where to use rags and not to use rags, I know all of the parts of a doll I make and how to stitch them together a certain way. Beginning From just a thought then to the design then onto muslin and stuffing, these are the foundations of my dolls

How Awesome God knew us and Created us!


Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
    you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
    Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
    I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
    you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
    how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
    all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
    before I’d even lived one day.
Psalm 139:13-15 (taken from The Message)


After I make a doll I take pictures of it, I have a photo album just of all of the dolls I have made.  I know God has a photo album of all of his children, and they are inscribed in the palm of His Hand (Isaiah 49:16).

Before I mail out the doll to the new owners I take a lint roller get all loose fibers off, cut off loose strings..do a once  look over.  This is my quality control, the only thing missing is the "inspected by" sticker

When the doll arrives to the new owner, I still want to make sure everything looks picture perfect, this brings me back to the label that I sew on dolls stating that I have made it, I want to make sure the doll represents me well.  I want my doll to show that I have put my very best quality,hard work and love into it.

I think how God has Signed and dated Me, so therefore I want to represent Him according to His Will.

  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:16

A Wash Machine Testimony

When You plant Seeds of Laundry Soap, Your Harvest may be a Wash Machine.

that is Exactly what happen to me.  

My Wash Machine had been on the fritz.  with each load it washed it sounded sicker and sicker. More noises, then leaks.  We had one of those Fancy Wash Machines...( you may have even read about it when I posted it on my blog a few years back.)

Well, About 3 weeks ago the machine started beeping, and the digital code on the machine blinked "F"

Oh, I knew what "F" meant.  I looked in the owners manual, and I kid you not it has "F" written out like this "F###" with the hash tags  hmm, yup I knew what "F" meant.

In the past couple of months before my wash machine went out I had given away close to 30 bottles of laundry soap.  My husband asked "what do you think your harvest will be? More laundry Soap? "

I said, "No, I am hoping for a wash machine." 

Now, I was not given out laundry soap so I could get one, it was just on my heart to give all of this laundry soap.

So In passing when I was telling my friend that my wash machine bit the dust someone over heard. She Said they had 2 wash machines and wanted to bless me with one of them!!! that was almost 3 weeks ago.

I have been wanting to post this since then, Now I know the reason why I hadn't.  

The story was not yet complete.

At 3 a.m. This morning I had a dream of a basket full of dirty clothes.  I then woke up and started to write this out with pencil and paper.

 We are the dirty clothes

God is the Wash Machine

Jesus is the ultimate Stain remover

The Holy Spirit is the Fabric Softener that dwells on the entire piece of clothing after being washed with the Stain remover.

We don't have be washed in a Soak cycle, the soak cycle represents Works and religion. (Ephesians 2:8-9)  Works and religion says you have  to wear your hair a certain length, say repetitive prayers, can't celebrate holidays, stay in condemnation(Romans 8:1)  and do so many works to make yourself presentable before God.  By staying in the soak cycle you are saying that Jesus..the ULTIMATE stain lifter did not do enough to pay for our dirty clothes to be clean. (1 John 1:9)

There is NO "Dry clean only" with God.  The only way to come to the father is Through Jesus. (John 14:6)

God is not a "One Size fits most" God is a "One size fits ALL"  (act 10:34)

Meaning no matter how dirty your clothes are he cleans it fully.  No stain is to big for the ultimate stain remover.  If He cleaned my clothes and made them spotless, He will do the exact same thing for you.

  Now we can be stainless before God with our Clean clothes (Ephesians 1:4)

Since I want to know God's Charachter and will and be more like Jesus, I will starch and iron myself with God's word anytime my clothing gets wrinkled.  (Romans 12:2)

And God just doesn't want us to put ourselves on a hanger and stay in the closet to only be worn on Sunday or special occasions.  God wants us to wear our clean clothes ALL THE TIME for all to see. (Matthew 5:16) Our clean clothes are not our Cross necklaces or fish symbols on the car, it is how we treat each others even when they are throwing dirt at our clean clothes. (Matthew 5:42-48)
Have a most wonderful day today my friends

Until Next time,

A New Creation ~ Sophia's baptisim

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17

A few weeks back Sophia asked Daddy if she could be baptised. Her heart was willing and ready..I remember when she was dedicated, she was just an infant then. When she was sitting on the front pew on Sunday with Eyes and Ears willing to receive..it was beautiful
It has only been a few months since we returned back to Agape Faith church..As much as I am ashamed it has been so long, I am also proud, it was out of the mouth of Babes. it was our children who wanted to get back on track. out of obedience and reverential fear Michael made the first step. What A Man!! and I love him for that.

1. Matthew 21:16
   and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?”
   Matthew 21:15-17 (in Context) Matthew 21 (Whole Chapter)

When Sophia was praising God with her arms up in the air, how can I deny her of going to church? I can't. i think the thought of meeting God and being held accountable put a reverential fear in me. We so Love him, because He First loved us....
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:5-7

Rock Of Ages

Gabby Found this rock in the drive way about a week ago. I could not believe how perfect it was, I even bit into to it to see if it was real ! the edges are so smooth...and perfectly shaped like a heart. It is a simply joy..but to me it was a sign of hope. We are going through THE MOST DIFFICULT time we have ever faced in our marriage. It seems everything we have worked so hard for is about to just slip through our fingers. Almost as if we have hit rock bottom (no pun intended).
However I keep hearing the song run through my head

"CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK WE WILL STAND, ALL OTHER GROUND IS SINKING SAND!"

Life Is Good

Life is Good...
I got my Health.
I love my Husband, He loves Jesus.....
My kids have their health.
their is a roof over our head
Their is food in our fridge.
I can't complain

Rejoice always, 1 pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; Thessalonians 5:16-18

Me and 28 THOUSAND of my new Friends~~

Well, I am just ON FIRE RIGHT NOW, full of Passion for my purpose, To serve the Lord my God with my whole heart! My ministry starts here with my husband, kids, then the biz...after that it is where ever I am.

The conference was just AWESOME. There was a record number of 28 thousand WOMEN there.

Delirios ROCKED BIG TIME! And CeCe just has the love of Jesus shining right through her, and her voice will give you goosebumps!

Joyce was bold and told it like it was. I am so excited to blog in the coming days all of the awesome revelations and teachings!

I will Walk by Faith and Not by Sight...

Last night before I fell asleep I felt God's overwhelming love pour over me. I have been far off for over a month from God (not reading the word, going to church, listening or watching any word..)But yet there God was telling me "I love you..." In my heart I just felt that someone was interceeding for me. I could not help but just to praise him. These past few years have been hard. I do struggle with issues in my life. I have the very "worldy" Heidi of me, then there is the part of me that just wants to drop everything and tell everyone about Jesus and what peace there is in his word. I have struggled with finding a balance in my life.

But this morning, I was reading a post and someone had replied to me Romans 8:37, so I grabbed my bible and when I opened it up IT WAS ON THAT PAGE, I opend right up to it. I just feel it was an Angel guiding my hands to open it there. This just spoke to me about my circumstance...because my problems do not defy me, Christ does. I am MORE THEN A CONQUERORS, I am victorious through Christ.


You know, a few months back I was driving and I began to get overwhelmed with emotions at the fact that when God sees me, he sees JESUS and he is not holding my sins over my head, HE JUST SEES THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST..it just blew me away. You see, I know we all fall short and I am not a very pleasant person sometimes and I have struggled with _________. I use to "punish myself" by not going to church or not getting into the word when I did bad things..BUT THAT DAY FOR WHAT EVER REASON I UNDERSTOOD I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT..by doing that I was doing myself more harm, but also by doing that it is like saying.."well, what Jesus did was not enough, " THAT IS A LIE!! our battlefield is in our mind!!

God Speaks to us through his word. You know it took me a long time to understand Faith is a verb, something you have to do! Faith is the substance of things hoped for but not yet seen. My prayer life has really changed too..I know longer beg God to move in my life, because I know that he all ready has, I just ask once and thank him for it even if I don't have it. God is not moved by our begging and pleading ~ He is moved by his word ~ And when you knows God's word and speak it to him THE BIBLE says IT WILL NOT RETURN VOID!! But so many of us just don't know what God's word says or what we have in it ~

I have had to learn not lean unto my understandings about a circumstance, and that a circumstance should never rule me. God is the same yesterday, today and forever!

I just want to say thank you for all of the ladies who minister to me through there blogs..
Heidi
