Choose Hope

It’s Winter!  New Years resolutions in 2018 included leaving Montana.  I declared  to never stay here during another winter. I said God, please let me live to leave this cold place and put me where it is warm.  God answered my prayer. I enjoyed a wonderful road trip  with family to the East coast.  I stayed.

The last of October, I flew back for my son’s birthday and my granddaughters birthday. A slight accident resulted in my return ticket South unaccompanied.  God has an interesting sense of humor.  It is now January and I am still in cold Montana.  Surprise, I have enjoyed being here.

Winter was mild until last week.  Now, a white heavy blanket of snow covers the ground.  The blue sky is covered with white and gray clouds. Temperatures of Zero have graced us with wind chill down to 22 below. My time alone with God and nature has been a pleasure.

I found love in knowing how to get from here to there, nurturing and deepening friendships,  and becoming a part of the church here.  Love brings warmth when the temperatures dip below zero.

My hour of the day comes early in the morning when I write and write…. Sometimes  scattered memories flood the page, sometimes words of love.  Everyday is a new picture. Morning times are best because the page is blank and words paint my stage for the day.

Hope is the word for today.  What pictures flash before me when I think of hope? Memories of childhood and a cedar Hope Chest…filled with grown up clothes, poems of love, hand-made quilts for my future home.   Sadly, the Hope Chest floated away in the flood which rampaged like a train off track through our little town. Sadness was absorbed by Hope for a better day. 

For months after the flood, I would panic in North Carolina when the tropical storms rolled in.  One sleepless night I randomly opened my Bible and my eyes fell to scripture written, ” Let the floods clap their hands; Let the mountains sing for joy together; ”   Psalms 98:8.   I welcomed Hope for the songs of Joy and clapping of hands in the scripture. 

Hope….my precious sister-cousin longed for a baby.  She was diabetic and the Doctor said it would Never happen.  For several years she exercised Hope that someday….. The day came! She gave birth to a precious little girl.  What was her name? You know it: Hope!

When illness, death or devastation pays me a personal visit. I call forth Hope.  Many of my friends have left earth and I believe they are in the presence of God.  I find comfort being grounded in this knowing, Is it okay to cry during grief?  Yes, Jesus wept.

Hope, Because He Lives  

On Easter morning in Kentucky , I would drive to the top of  Pinnacle for  sunrise service .  In the heavy early morning fog on top of the mountain,  we would sing Because He Lives and joy would dance with those gathered.

Now, approaching the last season of my life, I embrace the word, Hope, for our country, our nation, my family and yours. I hope to have the courage to share the life experiences and knowledge to bless you and open doors of thought and opportunity for you.  I hope I can teach my grandchildren to enjoy life here, embrace the storms and Know we are safe in the arms of God.

Songs have replaced grief, anger,  lack, and filled my soul with joy for most of my life. In times like these, I  escape into the lyrics…you can too!  Health, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are our promises from God.

It’s easy to get sidetracked to absorb the unpleasant news of turmoil.  It’s also easy to return to the Father.  We don’t have to start over.  He meets us where we are.  God isn’t bankrupt.  His Kingdom isn’t shut down!  He has a plan for my life and a plan for yours. 

Choose Hope!

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. … Proverbs 13:12

My first trip to Billings was around 12 years ago. Willie Nelson was playing a concert here.  I love Willie Nelson.   Apparently he had been ill and the Doctor suggested he take life a bit slower, stop singing so much. He made a declaration he would Never stop singing and ended his concert with this song:

In closing, let me share, when the roll is called up yonder, my reservations are made.  I’ll be there.  For the remainder of my time here, I will share my talents with you and let’s make them multiply, let us have fun, play in the snow or sun and

Go Forth and Prosper,

J… Day 10 My Definition verbs starting with J

J – Jam:   Squeeze or pack tightly into a specified space.   Back home, in Tennessee or Kentucky, we referred to a Jam as an unpleasant situation!  Now, I have a different Jam.

You know, I am planning the trip back East and in spite of purging many items, there are still more than my car will hold. I am eagerly anticipating that my son and granddaughter will ride with me bringing more luggage, body space and all the things for the trip!  This time jam will mean packing tightly but leaving room for comfort.

J – Joy:  a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.   Delightful thoughts race through my head planning this trip!  It is a long road trip.  Eliana will have the opportunity to see Wall Drug, Wall Dakota and the Corn Palace in Mitchell, Dakota.

Each time I made this trip in the past, I stopped at Wall Drug to eat!  The cafeteria is awesome and of course a bit of shopping ending with an ice cream makes the day..

J – Jazz:  American music developed especially from ragtime and blues.  My favorite music is the blues!  Thoughts of Tennessee take my mind to  Beale Street in Memphis where I fell in love with the Blues!

J – Justify:  show or prove to be right or reasonable.  It’s a big project moving back to the South.  I pray in the end, the action is justified!

J – Join:  come into close association or relationship.

One of the most powerful words of action I know is Join.  Think about it. We join something every day. You or I may: Join a church, join a group, join friends, join a political party or join an event.  Opportunities to join something  continue. We seek a person or people of like mind to join with in marriage, prayer, goals and feel validated when we find them.

From the words published for each day, I select and choose the one meaning the most to me. From this list, I create my actions to live into.  Yes, it’s a long list. There are 24 hours in each day and we either consciously or unconsciously select actions to do.

I… Day 9 My Definitions for verbs starting with I

I – Illuminate:  brighten or provide with light; decorate with lights; clarify or make understandable; enlighten spiritually or intellectually;  fame; I celebrate.

I – Illustrate:  clarify (especially by use of examples); to make clear or reprehensible; to give honor to; to glorify.

I – Improve:  become better; to increase or advance productivity, value or quality.

It’s my business to improve each day. An acronym developed by Anthony Robbins, is  CANI standing for  Constant And never-ending Improvement.

I – Instruct: to advise; to direct; to teach.  Instructing excites me.  I love to teach something that will help a friend, a stranger, or a child. I learn when I teach!

Reflections of the first “job” I did  was to teach  girls in our church to play chords by ear.  I don’t remember exactly how much they paid, I think it was 50 cents.  Soon, I put it together I should teach them as a group and still collect 50 cents each.  It was a good business!  As I recall, I was 13.

I – Implore: beg someone earnestly to do something. Implore is another exciting verb beginning with I.

I implore you to identify any strong holds that keep you from doing the desires of your heart. Give God control and he will make a way for you to achieve your goals.  I am serious….do it and let me know the results!

I – Identify: It is my job and your job to identify truth in our life.  Have you ever heard a story that made you angry, or disappointed with someone.  I have. Worse, I reacted to the story as though it were true.

A lesson learned the hard way was it is better to be quiet and respond later than to react and be sorry. Identifying truth is still an ongoing project for me.

I – Identity:  A close cousin to identifying lives identity.  Making it personal, as a little girl, I was a child, and knew my place.  Then, I grew up…and hey I was; an adult, a wife, a Mother, an Educator, a Real Estate Broker, and a  business owner. Finally came the big Question. Who am I? I am no longer a wife, my parents are deceased so I am not their “little girl”  Who am I? Did I ever belong to the woman who abandoned me? Did I belong to my adoptive parents? Do my adult children need me? Have I fulfilled my purpose?Oh, perhaps my grandchildren and close friends need me.  Haha, it’s easy to let the mind play games.

 I believe I know the answer and my purpose. You will know soon! For now,

G… Day 7 My Definitions for verbs starting with G

G -God: I believe I serve a living God.  His name is God. Yes, I am aware of  the Seven Names of God in Christianity…

  • YHWH-Yireh — “The Lord will provide” (Genesis 22:13-14)

  • YHWH-Rapha — “The Lord that healeth” (Exodus 15:26)

  • YHWH-Niss”i — “The Lord our Banner” (Exodus 17:8-15)

  • YHWH-Shalom — “The Lord our Peace” (Judges 6:24)

  • YHWH-Ra-ah — “The Lord my Shepherd” (Psalm 23:1)

Personally, when I am in trouble, when I am thankful, when I am sad, what ever state of mind I am in, I call Him and address him as God. I have much more to learn.  He knows I am a work in Process!

If you speak to me and call me “Molinda, Molinda Sue,  Goforth,” or other names I  use, I will respond. I am learning to use all of the given Christian names for God with ease.  Perhaps you understand more than me so if we don’t see alike, let’s just agree to disagree and be friends.

Is this important?  To me, it is. I have a friend who constantly makes the remark, “God or what ever you call Him…the higher power, or the universe …  Sorry, I just don’t understand. If I speak to you and your name is Martha, I don’t call and say: ” Bessie is that you?”

G – Go:  My last name is Goforth, definitely goes with the letter G. My assignment is to go forth and share  good news and the path of prosperity.

G- Music:  is a note as well as those we met the past 6 days.

G – Give:  Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.  Luke 6:38 KJV.    I think  of the song my Dad sang:  Each Day I’ll Do….

G – Giggle:  Laughter and giggles are good for the soul!   Remember, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.  Proverbs 17:22.

Hanging out with Eliana is  good for me…she is full of laughter and giggles.

Loving this beautiful Sunday in Montana and prayers for your day from my heart to yours,

My ABC’s Today is E

My ABC’s

E… Day 5 My Definitions for verbs starting with E

Friday’s Introduction: Since, I decided to publish this adventure, it seems appropriate to share why it’s important to me.  ABC and 123, look I am changing me!

Last week I was inspired in my spirit to do my ABC’s.  It’s a childhood memory,  learning the ABC’s by singing  the letters.

I have tried to dig out of the emotional rut. This week has been fun, researching to find verbs for each letter.  I will continue until I complete the ABC’s.  My daily assignment is to implement the verbs I call to front and center!  Writing the assignment each day, studying the words and applying has already elevated my mood and mindset.

The awareness of musical notes this week is amazing.  We hear music everywhere, on the radio, our phones, in commercials, church and other places.

Music is tied to Joy from my childhood. My parents were excited to get me started with piano lessons.  It was salvation for me as I heard the music later in my head. I learned I could deviate from practicing the music notes and just play those melodies. The music still plays in my head, and I find solstice there. For Friday, day five it is the note and letter E. Action words are:

E – Eat…Ooops, this is the first word that comes to mind for E.  Yes, I eat too much resulting in the fact of weighing too much.  For today, I will discard the thought of sharing eating habits as a way to escape and focus on the recent cooking course I completed from Gordon Ramsay.

The course is a video and networking with other interested students.  I stayed up most of the night just drinking in the words, pictures and results.

E – Elevate…raise or lift (something) up to a higher position.  In the past, I used the phrase, raise the bar. It still applies.  Instead of living a mediocre life, I will daily strive to Elevate my quality of life to another level and reach out to others for a healthier, safer place.

E – Earn…gain, acquire  payment, reward, recognition, by work, effort and action.  Here I am learning an intentional focus. When we get to F, Finance won’t be number one as I have designated E to earn…money, respect and peace of mind.

E – Edify…build or construct; encourage, improve or teach (especially intellectually, morally or spiritually); benefit; favor; persuade; convince.

E – Educate…build or construct; encourage, improve or teach.  Those who can’t do teach. Some of my activities are restricted, but I have a burning desire to convert a little shed to my house!  For those who are interested, I will teach.

E – I love the letter and the musical note. E.  It’s hard to stop. These are the boundaries for today. It’s time to,

D… Day 4 My Definitions for verbs starting with D

D – Music Note: D is a musical note a whole tone above C. 
The way we listen to music each day is interesting.  Noise or music, how does it affect us? For me, certain sounds, make me uncomfortable, while others remind me of love and are sometimes melancholy.

In music, a note is the pitch and duration of a sound, and also its representation in musical notation.

I will learn more about music in heaven.  No longer will I say I wish I knew!

I love the tone of the D Note. Thus, my action words beginning with D are:

D – Dance...move in rhythmical way; express pleasure by motion

In Redding, I attended a church service and prophecy was given to me.  The man saw me dancing with shoes that glittered. It warmed my heart since my right foot forgot about dancing after the last surgery.  My memory now burns with the prophecy and I will dance before God in the near future!

For my son who has Parkinson’s, I will join the group for dancing with Parkinson’s! Note to self…..I shall become the dancing queen!

D – Do: to execute; to bring about; effect; to render; to carry out; produce.  Each day I resolve to do what is needed for the day and Do what I have resolved!

D – Dollar:  Dollars must  be earned in our life and dispersed accordingly,  It is a daily task, might as well make it fun. Three deposits to be made each day for me are:  Deposit to spend, deposit to save, deposit to give. This statement is so easy to make…doing requires effort!

D – Deed… Action is required for me to acquire a warranty deed to property by December 25 this year.  A deed with a mortgage would be easier. It is my goal to own a piece of property free and clear.

Progressing day four, brings clarity and requires actions.  I experience joy in written words of change. Four years ago I entered a rut and it got deeper and deeper. Now, day by day I am escaping the rut.

Did you know, a rut can become a grave?  For the past year I have felt the effects of smothering, feeling closed in and yet for my activity each day, I just walked the same path. When I came to the end, I turned around and walked it again. My actions were to do and repeat over and over.

Debt, I started with a little and it multiplied. Now, debt overwhelms me. I just close my eyes and continue to march the rut road. Defining and applying actions to eliminate debt will free me from slavery!

These 26 days, and an application of action each day will change my mind-set, my body and connect my soul closer to God!  Thank you, God for this inspiration.  Let’s

C… Day 3  My Definitions for verbs starting with C

Surprise!  It is a music note! Let’s sing success.

C is the first note of the C major scale, the third note of the A minor scale and the fourth note (F, A, B, C) of the Guidonian hand.

All of the above information seems very technical.  When I was a little girl, I learned the sounds of each note and to this day I identify the key a song is played  in by those sounds. Someday, perhaps we can discuss chords, not just notes.

Isn’t it fun to bring music into each day?

C – Bank Note   a 100-dollar bill. See C–note defined for English-language learners. My action for the letter C is to generate a $100.00 before the first of August.

C – Calm:  The past week my heart has played the part of a race car, rhythm far too fast.  I found a meditation for the heart. While listening, my heart rate slowed to the beat. I entered a calm serene state of being! It was healing to visit this place.

C – Celebrate:  Each day I will celebrate something that gives me pleasure.

C – Comfort:  Many of my friends say they feel comforted when we talk.  I thank God for those comments.  With an act of kindness, I will intentionally comfort someone each day.

C – Cook:  I have just completed a course from the Masters with Gordon Ramsey, teaching cooking! I fully intend to pursue more classes and make each meal a Celebration.

 

As you can see, many action words are associated with the Letter C in my world. One of the most important is:

C – Can: Philippians 4:13 New King James Version (NKJV). 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Each letter added from the alphabet will include more action on my part.  This is a month of transformation, establishing patterns to become habits and insure I live life to the fullest.  I Can do these things.

Three days into the design of this series and I feel a shift in my thoughts.  I am so excited to know what lies ahead.  For now, it’s time to enjoy the moment and,

One day I heard this little voice singing.  Mark was in the shower singing, Why Me Lord? I still wonder and know I haven’t done anything to deserve the blessing Mark brings to my life.

B – Balance: My physical being finds me  lax in Balance. My excuse is my foot is crooked!  Hmmm…facing facts, my core is weak, overweight, crooked foot, limited balance and not flexible is my total package of Balance.

MY  ABC’s

A … My definitions for verbs starting with an A

 I will apply my ABC’s for change during  the next 30 days. Each day is assigned a letter, each letter connected to a word and Sundays are just for God, relaxation and family.

Today’s letter is A….. I connect and define it as Awareness, Assurance, and Action!

Awareness: For  each habitual activity, I will be aware of the task, Assured by my Faith, I can complete  and apply the appropriate Action for results.

First, I pray each morning. It is clear to me, I have a one sided conversation with God.  With this enlightened Awareness, I commit to listen to God. I  vividly recall working  for someone else. I was always available to accept the call from the Boss…..  Forgive me God, for just applying the same respect for you.

Yesterday, I replanted two special gifts…an Orchid that did not bloom this year and a Banana tree. Each was a mother’s day gift. The Orchid bloomed in May for three years. This year it needed a change. The Banana tree is young, growing rapidly and needed a bigger Pot!

Today’s Awareness:  the plants visibly look happy this morning.  The leaves are standing tall. What made the difference? I bought a new pot, filled with new dirt nourished with fertilizer, pruned the wilted leaves, planted with love,  and changed the location  where they live.

God, please answer. How do I describe and apply this analogy?

  1. Awareness: A New pot for me, learn new skills and nourish the existing ones, Move forward with Faith in God and share to help others.

  2. Assurance:  I am on the right road.

  3. Action: Share my skills and knowledge to help others!

Last week I went to Toys r Us on their last day to be open in our town.  When I checked out I asked the cashier where he would work? He said, “The internet has killed our business.  There is no work. I don’t know what I will do.”  Duh!  He could take action to learn and sell on-line and be his own cashier!

His remark made me Sad!  As I shopped and visited with strangers in the store many were stocking up to sell their bargains online.  As with a Brick and Mortar store you must learn how to reach your invisible online audience, connect and supply their need.

Today,  to Learn and Earn  I am completing a course from Crystal Paine! Our world has changed, shopping has changed, the process for buying houses has changed.  Buying toys, clothing, homes, land, cars. any purchase I can think of is related to online shopping.

We visit virtually, buy remotely and to survive and thrive we need to learn and earn.  I have been learning new skills and I wish to share the opportunities with you!

My action today to Learn and Earn is this course from Crystal Paine. I will learn how to grow my audience and how to communicate effectively online.  I have taken several from Crystal, this one is discounted until midnight Eastern Standard time.  Perhaps it’s time for you to Learn and Earn!  The course will continue to be available but not at this discount.

Buy it today at the discounted price.  Wait, if you are not sure and pay more.  I love bargains.  Crystal is for real, I have followed her for years.  I believe you will learn, enjoy and perhaps earn .  See you tomorrow for B day.

Go forth & Prosper,

Molinda Sue

When God Says No and I Say Yes

by Leave a Comment

Starting My Trip

Recently, I heard 3 adults raise the tone of their voice  and say to little people:  “Listen to me.”

Oh, I bet you have heard that conversation too – “Listen to me.You aren’t listening. Did you hear what I said?” Perhaps it continues like this, “I said no.  Why did you do that when I told you not too?  I heard you and the Answer is No! Why? Because I said so and if you continue you will be in trouble.”

“Your behavior isn’t acceptable.  I said NO! I mean it.”

How many times have I heard this dialogue?  How many times have I been a participant?

My trip was going to happen. I did my goals, made a plan and worked the  plan. I wasn’t listening to anyone!

Some problems had not been addressed. I thought I can fix my problems when I arrive. So, I packed them in the car to travel.  I told everyone close to me… anywhere in Tennessee will be fine.

This is how the No chapter started and began its decent.

God, Are you Silently Speaking?

I felt hesitation from the Spirit in my soul and ignored it.  My sister-in-law agreed to fly to Montana and take the 2200 mile drive with me.  I planned and packed every day. We would leave on the 13th.

I know God was trying to get my attention when focusing seemed impossible.  I felt guilty and looked around to see if I had done something wrong. I had employment in Tennessee. I had a promise of an available house. I had constantly expressed the wish to be there.

Something felt Wrong. Have you ever had those feelings?

Two days before the trip a winter storm warning was issued.  Six inches of snow was predicted along with dangerous winds.  I sent the weather map to my sister- in- law. She canceled her flight.  Oops, now I needed to drive alone. No problem I have driven this 3 times…why was I doused with dread?

God did not coin the word Dread.  Dread is closely related to Fear.

Fear Does Not come From God

Is it true God is interested in our everyday activities?  Does he really care and try to communicate when we procrastinate or make a decision not in our best interest?

When a child rebels against  parental instruction, there are consequences.  When God says no and we don’t listen there will be consequences.

Travel Time

I fully intended to meet my goal, so continued with MY plan and started my trip.  Pulling out of the drive, the tears started and wouldn’t stop. About 100 miles down the road I pulled over called my son to hear a human voice say, “Why don’t you come back?”  I turned that car around and my spirit soared.

Hello, God, I hear you. I sang all the way home.

Is Gods’ No forever? I believe he answers Yes, No or Wait.  I am in the waiting zone.  I am sure I will return to the South and I believe I know the general date.

How does God speak?

God was loud and clear when the living accommodations were no longer available.

He  tone was loud, visual and an astounding No when the National Weather Service issued  a winter storm warning. My sister-in-law said No. The storm did not come.

I promised God I will be debt free.  Most of this trip would have been on credit.  (Yikes, I didn’t need to ask …I know his Word says According to Proverbs 22:7 (NIV), “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Starting my trip as a Slave wasn’t wise.  When I turned to come back this scripture came to mind.  One problem packed in the trunk was money.  I need to earn some to make for this trip.

Influence

My dad was driving an 18 wheeler when he composed a song…He had just driven his rig to the top of a mountain and pulled to the side. The fog was heavy. Visability was almost zero. He pulled the rig to the side of the road, thinking he remembered the space allowed.  While waiting for the fog to clear a song came to him.

Song

“I was on the downward road, the fog was Heavy and so was my load, something spoke to me and said, repent of your sins and your load I’ll  bear.   Let the Lord come in.

The Lord came in, I had no fear, the fog was gone and the road was clear. Since that day and since that hour, I  can feel His holy power. I let the Lord come in.

The part not in the song……His heart was pounding, he felt fear. he pulled over to accept God.  From his story, immediately, the fog cleared.  When the road was clear, he got out to see how far off the road he had parked. His tires were on the edge of a cliff…one that had claimed many truckers lives as they went over!  I learned this song from him when I was little . I wrote the music for it and as a family we sang it whenever we were together.

When God says No…heed His instructions. When we say Yes and God says No does he love us?   God loves us all the time.Given free choice we make a decision and the results may not be in our best interest.  God is polite.  He doesn’t interrupt us when we speak. He pays attention.  Does he speak to us? In his Word the scripture says —

“Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3.

I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119: 105.

He speaks through the written word in the Bible. I believe he speaks through our circumstances.

I am a spontaneous person.  In the future I want to add restraint and take time to ask God’s advice before making goals and setting plans in place. Do I wonder how the trip would have ended?  Of course.  I felt awful to call and say I cannot accept the job you offered.  I disappointed many friends.

My granddaughter experienced the sadness of saying farewell.  All would have been avoided if I had listened first to the No Credit allowed and made my decision.  Along the way came the  other messages.

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go….. For now,

I will be content in Montana, until I hear His call.  I had not planned to post until May 13th.  A girl can change her mind you know, and I feel  a heavy urge to share…and to ask

What have you done when God said No and You said Yes?

How about we…. adhere to   3 John 1:2  Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.

Much love,

Molinda Sue
