At The Store

  I was trying to make myself go to sleep. I'm trying to change my sleeping habit from 5AM to 1PM to something like 9PM to 5AM. I'm not sure why. Except other people want me to. I do love late night TV on ME.TV but I would also enjoy getting up early with my friends and drink coffee and enjoy the newness of the day. I would if I could. I still try to train myself to change. I don't know, who knows how it will end.

Well while laying there the devil called me lazy. I was like, no, I am not lazy, I will get up to write or mop the floors. HA, and I've had this thought in my head that I've been wanting to explore more. And so instead of mopping the floors I choose to get this thought out of my head. It always helps when I write about it.

Now my habit is not to talk about my good deeds. And GOD knows if it would of been any other persons I would of never thought once about the realities of life. So in order to progress I must tell these good deeds. Other people do it too, I am not the only one, but today I would say the people who would not do the good deeds are more likely to be the case. I really want to change that. I wish for a world of good deed doers who are inclined to be so by the Spirit of GOD!

OK, now there I was, in the checkout line. An old white lady with a basket full of groceries for the grandkids. And then 2 young black men came up behind me with just a few items, as I do I smiled at them and told them to go ahead of me. The first dude is like, "Hey thanks" but the second one stopped and looked at me like this look, (I'll never forget it) and he said, "Really" ??? And I smiled and said, "Really!" and stepped aside so they could pass. Now the Lord has blessed me with the gift of discernment and I could see that our new society had made this young man into someone who was taught wrong about old white people.

I will never forget the look on his face, those eyes will be looking at me a long time, or maybe once I get this post out I can set it aside and get on with things. 

But my mind has been screaming inside that that young man was so surprised and unbelieving that an older white lady would allow them to go first. It makes me sad, because for me it was just a little thing I do and other people are grateful and graciously thank me. 

I wanted to grab him and hug him and tell him that I loved him and reassure him that not all older white people hate you! I wanted to reassure him that we both bleed red blood we are both equal, neither either higher or lower than the other. Hey we got rid of racism in the 70's! I know I was there and I've had several black friends in my life who meant a lot to me like a brother or a sister.

I don't like what's going on in America right now. People trying to pit us against each other. Fighting and destroying things is not of GOD, People do these things and it does not come from GOD. Hey lets put all the right labels on. 

My only hope is that, that young man learned something in his heart that day. I hope he never forgets the day an old lady taught him how worthy he was, just by being at the right place at the right time!

As I always say, 

Praise GOD Thank U Jesus!

GOD Bless US, Everyone IJCNA  

About Me

 I feel it is time for me to catch U up on who I am today.

First of all, my name is my name because when I married Mr. Pope his son started calling me MotherPope, at first it was weird but I got used to it. Now its a part of who I am as a person. 

I grew up in hell, we were stripped naked and beat until we would bleed (that was the purpose) before I even turned 2 and it lasted until I was 12... I got beat for using a neighbors phone to call long distance, more on that later.

The shrinks (I've had 3) said I married men who were abusive because my mother was. It fit my past.  And to make matters worse I watched my mother get beat up for 13 years starting when I was 9. They threw and broke things, they hurt each other... my mom hit my 5th or 8th step dad in the head once with a cast iron skillet. The cops came and he hid in the kitchen with a bloody towel on his head, while my mom told the cops all was OK. It did make him stop beating her that night tho. Which was his habit. But she hardly ever fought back. Like I was taught to not fight back. 

Is why I survived 5 rapes in my life time.

I have had 2 other long term serious relationships. I have been with my daughters dad for a total of 15 years now, He was gone for 17, we were told he had died. But he didn't, after 17 years I found his mother and sisters. They said he was not dead and he called me and a month later we were back together, fighting for survival. Its a pretty mellow life now, he cooks and lets me be me, which I like to spend in here with y'all, whether here or Facebook or Twitter. Twitter is my new go to thing these days! 

I love helping people figure life out. My forte is GOD, I have a hot line to HIM 24/7. I can tell you what HE says and shows me through spiritual eyes. In the church that I was baptized in, the spirit spoke through the preacher when he laid hands on me and said I was to be a teacher/prophetess. At that time I didn't understand or know what that meant, but now, almost 40 years later GOD has created in me a spirit of LOVE and PEACE and understanding!

I want to share what I have learned, that's a big reason why I keep doing this.

I am a mother of 3, a grandmother to 8, and a great grandmother to 3. And lets add the 70+ people who have come to stay at one time or another. Boy, I could tell many stories! And I thank GOD my blood is not only living here in Texas, but also in Tennessee and Minnesota! Praise GOD!

I work for 8.8 an hour taking care of disabled people.

I also am a servant of GOD to do HIS will to let everyone know how to follow HIM!

I am not without sin as the top 3 are 'gluttony' (I love food to much) and procrastination and the newest sin that has been brought out lately, I let people walk all over me, now that one, my Grandmother had said since I was in my 20's. Yep, We all struggle with something. 

But here arises a new earth and a new heaven, where PEOPLE are getting wiser by the day. I've always thought how sad it is, that we learn so much (or we don't, the choice is your own) but then we get older and see a lot of wise people die. And think, how sad just at the time we get it together, we go. Well I guess that's the way it should be.

We are born ignorant and we learn what we live. All depends on how much smarts ya get! We should always remember, A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, but a foolish man has to learn from his own. I love seeing the smart young people. Heck, I love seeing smart old people too!

As far as my future, I dream of selling my book, 'PROVERBS 2000, Solomon's Wisdom Reborn."

It took me 18 months to do that one! I am working on another also. But I would love to go on book tours talking to PEOPLE about how I found GOD and the things I've learned.

It doesn't matter your labels or doctrines or traditions or personal habits, Heck, Jesus was the final sacrifice for sin, so your sin doesn't even matter, GOD LOVES U and can help you have a BETTER LIFE! Its old wisdom from people who have been there done that.

But the most important thing to know is, GOD is something that you find within, you learn about HIM through HIS son Jesus. And you learn about Jesus by reading about the man, through the eyes of his peers, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and All the others. Start by reading the New Testament. Don't start with the old testament as you will get confused and bored. Save it for later. But read and learn about Jesus and acquire for yourself the Holy Ghost that Jesus left for US. 

Oh and 1 more thing... the second coming of Jesus will not be a physical event, it will be a spiritual one and that will be when we all get together in the name of JESUS and emulate him and care enough to work out our own salvation. Believe me, you CAN find heaven!

As for today, someone made chicken and dumplins and someone made pot roast! I didn't have to cook! So now I'm going to go outside and play basketball with my 14 year old grandson! I LOVE IT!

So lets Praise GOD with 1 accord in the name of Jesus, Our savior and the son of GOD and the final sacrifice for sin. And GOD says HE will then... heal our minds and our earth and our mental and emotional health! We will discover the truth of billions maybe trillions of years will finally save us from Ourselves... IN Jesus name!

We shouldn't of taken GOD (LOVE) out of our system in the first place. We should all be holding GOD in our hearts and minds! I believe that men wanted to do their sin without limits so they deny the big judge that is a higher power. But just because someone denies GOD doesn't mean HE doesn't exist. It's just their own minds limiting themselves not to include the information of the gods. And yes I say gods because there are many gods out there that people have worshipped in past times. But remember what they said about the god of Moses... "His GOD IS GOD"! 

GOD Bless US, Everyone IJCNA
