AS A KID AND AN OLD LADY MY LORD HAS HEALED AND SAVED ME STRONGLY!!

       TRUTHFULISM STRIKES AGAIN!!  Even when a photo has Jeremiah words, this and many other portions are filled truthfully in the Bible, of course.

       As I indicated on this photo, it was during our wedding vacation time [the wedding was September 21, '85] and it was a huge blessing for me to be in Lake Superior.  I was an ocean addict since I was a kid when born in Portland and raised in Vancouver, Tacoma, Klickitat and working in Seattle.  I was 28 when the Lord moved me out of California to Omaha, and, formerly, I had been seeing the Pacific Ocean from Washington, Oregon, and California.  I had never been up to Lake Superior to see this and it was a really wonderful gift from my husband -- it looked like an "ocean".  He'd been born and raised in the Twin Cities and he was at the Offutt Airforce Base.  And I had been in Omaha.  The Lord suddenly put us together at a church.  What a blessing to have such a wonderful husband and he was wonderful for my daughter and son then and now for six grandkids.  They all put up with me, BUT they all love him so much. 

Our Wedding and Renae was 15 and Steve was 12; they loved him then!

They love him now... and this was a couple years ago!

        Anyhow, I often am filled with joyfulness through the Lord, and, if I am alive and my brain and body working, I'll be rejoicing April 15, 2016, b/c it will be the 50th year event since the Lord officially broke into me and let me accept Him when I was 20.  I had been filled with sinfulness and horrific situations for most of my years,  as a young kid and a teenager, even though I had strongly known the truthfulness re: the Lord.  As I was going to commit suicide when I was 18 and 19, He broke in and protected me and dropped special people into my life. 

      [ Surprisingly, I was dropped in and encouraged through a Portland Avenue Baptist Church in Tacoma, WA, March, '66.  I never had had a picture of that until April, 2014. A friend who wanted to know of me re: my age situation,  she drive all around my former Tacoma area when I was visiting there.  Well, she was so excited to see this church. It ain't Baptist any more and hasn't been for about 20 years, but other things have been in it, and it's still being used by some sorts of Godly-Words.  So that was a picture of me with it in August, 2014.]

     
       Bless you all.  I don't know when/how I'll keep blogging, b/c my dementia has increased significantly and I can't read and write very well, very often... even though I'd done it since I was about 6 years old in Klickitat,WA, in the first grade of school. Now,  I can't do anything very well.  

BUT I love the Lord and -- moment-by-moment, day-by-day, night-by-night -- I worship, rejoice, glorify, and honor!

SEASIDE, OREGON

What a day!!!  Enormously blessed, put in a frustrating flooded highway and, later, nearly scared to death.

Drove from Clatskanie to Astoria, Oregon, and then headed south a bit, expecting to go to Cannon Beach, my favorite place.

My niece, Dimidy, was with me and we were having a nice time in the car talking about her spiritual and personal plans.  Such a nice time... driving about 50 miles each way.

Then, just south of Seaside town, road signs indicated that some road flooding had taken place.  A river connected to the ocean had spread across fields and the roads.  I drove behind a number of the cars and then the depth became way too dangerous.  I took a "U" and went back north ...

stopping at Seaside instead of Cannon...  and Dimidy and I had a wonderful time.  Ate lunch, then walked to the beach and loved it.  Here's some of the history.

And photos of raining, foggy, windy.  [One photo I wish I had was of the wave suddenly overwhelming us and hitting over the top of my boots.  It was funny... and my feet were COLD!] 

Overall, a couple hours of hitting the tourism-based stores was a blast. [I found a really neat local artistic piece for my husband. OOO-OOO! He'll love it!].

Then we started back to my sister's in Clatskanie.  It was much darker than I had anticipated and it was very rainy.  The roads were filled with curves... which wasn't usually an issue for me.  However, this time, with cars driving around curves and lights hitting me in the eye, I was frantic.  Couldn't see the road lines on either side of my lane.  Making it, but not relaxing at all.

Suddenly, Dimidy and I saw a large dead deer in the road covering my whole lane.  I had to cross the double-line; cars were coming, but I was able to swing out and back quickly, no damage -- to my car.  However, my heart was pounding and I was stiffened.  My left foot had been hurt when I accidentally smashed it at against the door during that fast switch. [It's OK now.]

Made it home, survived, loved the day, loved my niece.  Couldn't have had a more wonderful day, overall.

And am very grateful to my Lord for protecting and keeping me surrounded by angels and buried in grace and mercy.

AMEN!!
