My cup runneth over and another dream.

 Whew! How do you like this heat? I am missing the fall and winter days! I am so not ready for summer. It is going to be a scorching hot summer....I just know it! We are hitting the 90s here and I am barely able to take it. Ok, why do we even need to have a summer every year? I would be fine with winter, spring, and fall! Maybe it is the fourty in me that is doing the talking? I do not know. Let us take a minute to pray for our ac units that they are able to perform their duty this summer. How did people survive with no ac back in the days? 

With all the terriffs I honestly do not know what to think or how this will all end. What I do know is for every household should plan meals meticulously out...have meal plans that stretch every dollar...you know the ones kids can take for lunch and shoot so we parents can take left overs for lunch too! I am planning to buy rice. Of course not to be a hoarder of rice but for some reason giving my hens rice with their feed causes them to lay more eggs. It is so crazy to see everyone with their opinions trying to explain away how the terriffs will work. I honestly can say I have no idea how the terriffs will come out. I just know to try and be prepared as best as we can. You know if Rome (US) is going to fall then there is nothing we can do to save her. I have to say if she (US) falls it would break my heart. Let us just be prepared. 

With the prices soaring and not looking like the prices will be coming down any time soon, I love to plan my family's meals for the week. I am a women, wife, and, mother and I am in my element. I will make lemonade with sliced limes and lemons. Make a two gallon of homemade tea so my husband does not have to buy any drinks at the store. I plan my meals ahead for dinner and make enough for all of us to have lunch for the next day. I make banana bread or brownies for our coffee to take  in the mornings and also my husband will make jello for our daughter to have for snack. We fully stock our fridge with what will save us money for the week. I just love planning anything ahead and knowing I am helping my husband save money. As a wife I feel complete because I am being his help meet the way God designed me to be! My heart soars to be doing my ministry. I show my love by my acts of service. I simply can not help it. I am just a wife who walks around showing her love by her acts of service to my family. Step aside! I am showing my love! 

I wanted to give an update on my buff orpington hen......well WE HAVE BABIES! Yes! I am a grandma! Lol! My girl has given me my first grandbaby chicks! My husband got home today on April 10th and he sent me a picture and video and announced we have babies. I can not tell you how happy I am! I am so full of joy and hope! Joy to see my girl become a mommy and all the hard work of raising chickens starting to multiply! God has been good to me! I have not been able to say, think, or even type that God has been good to me. With all the ugly trials my husband and I have been thru I have not allowed the phrase to enter my mind or allowed my lips to say God has been good to me.  With the hatching of a baby chick and more on the way, they have managed to sweep all that angst away! I am joyful and hopful! God has been good to me!  Of course the domino effect has started and we have a black chicken who is now broody! My cup runneth over!!!!!! Plus, I am still expecting my order of baby chicks from Cackle Hatchery to deliver my baby chicks....in June or July! Can you say crazy chicken lady! After a while I will have eggs of all the colors in the chicken world! I am not bragging.....who are we kidding.... I am bragging! LOL!

I wanted to share a dream I had about seven years ago, well, maybe I should share two dreams. When I was 8 years old I had a dream that I was standing outside of a house and my mom was standing next to me. We were both looking around us and we saw green grass and the sun was high in the sky. I looked up at my mother and she was peering into a window and looking inside a white house. I then cupped my hands around my kid face and looked inside also. I saw my dad and he was holding a dark colored woman (she is mexican like me) with small tiny curls and she had on white shorts. My dad's face was so enthralled with this woman he had no cares for my mother and I. I looked back at my mother and she was looking around and I knew she was questioning how she was going to make it on her own. I woke up and the dream was over. I remember that day vividly! I got out of bed and went straight toward our kitchen to be able to get to our dining table. Mom was in her tiny kitchen and she was making breakfast. My dad was sitting at the dining room table and was talking. I remeber going over to my usual place to sit down and wait for my breakfast and when I sat down I looked straight at my dad. I just starred at him. I was a child and it never occurred to me to tell my dad or mom this dream.....ever....even when I got older. I knew from that dream that my dad was going to leave us one day. My mom put my plate of food in front of me and I looked down and just ate. I was stunned but I kept it quiet. I never said a word of that dream to anyone. 

As I grew up I was very close to my dad. He took us to church. He preached the word of God and went on mission trips. He even had dreams too! He would take me to the church and he would pray with the lights off in the church. My dad would walk around the church talking to God and I would sit at the back of the church and listen quietly in the dark. I have to admit I loved this part of my life. There are times I wish I could go back to experience my whole family together! This was my life. 

I remeber when my dad would get upset about some things. I would watch him and I would think to myself....when is he going to leave us? Believe me I asked many times when he was going to leave us. The day did come when I was 29 years old. My dad left us....my mom, my two brothers, and my sister, even his first grandbaby. He was like a caged bear and he was ready to start his life with this woman I saw in the dream. She had the white shorts and the tiny brown curls and she was really dark skinned. He had that face on him like I saw in the dream....he was enamored and did not care about anything! My mom took her divorce hard and we were all in pain. Thankfully we moved on. 

This dream goes hand in hand with the next dream and it is the tale tell signs of what is coming. I had this dream about 8 years ago. In this dream my mother, dad, and I were at my childhood home. Our home was all white that we grew up in. In this dream we were inside our home. A very tall man arrived dressed in white. In his hand he had a drill. Inside the house we had stuff still inside like if we were still living there. This man began to take stuff apart using the drill gun. My mother and I looked in horror. We did not want this man to take anything down because the things that were left standing were memories of once what was our family. My dad just stood there and had a glazed drunken look on his face. He simply did not care. I ran up to the man and begged him to please leave everything in its place. He looked down at me and he had in his hand was an old cell phone and he said to me,"call them and ask them for your family." When he said "them" I knew instantly he was speaking of God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost. I took the phone from him and looked at it and I thought to myself it is not for me to be fighting for my family. I gave the phone over to my dad. It was his family and he is the one that should be asking for his family back! I walked out the front door and left dad and mom there with the angel. 

I went outside and in the front of the house there was a huge truck parked in front of our porch. On the back of the truck there was a brand new house. I do not know how I knew but the new house was made to the exact measurements to our old house. I knew the new blue colored house was going to take the place of the old white house. I knew this new house ment a new begging! I walked to the side of the new house and it was painted a light baby blue color. I could see new siding all along the house and it was so pretty! It was better than before. When I turned the corner I saw old war fighter jets. These old fighter jets were parked in our front yard and there was three of them. They were green colored and the paint on them were kind of faded like if the jets had been sitting outside for years. Suddenly I was sitting inside the jet and there was a woman sitting in the plane too. She looked over at me and said my name, "SONYA!" I looked over to her and thought to myself, how in the world do you know my name. She said to me, " Sonya! There is going to be a remnant (a small amount of military men.. army, navy, ect) of the military that is going to fight against the rest of the military because the rest of the military will fight for the government, and that remnant is going to die. So! We need to learn to fly these older jets. We began to take off and I ended up getting scared and I did not let the plane take off. The angel  turned to me and says,"OH Sonya!" She wanted me to learn to fly. I was too afraid to learn to fly and I know that it ment for me is to not be afraid to fly. 

There are news sources that are saying the military will have to make a decision to fight for our constitution or for what the government wants.....meaning for a certain man. It is so scary right now to see all these dark times headed here and bad times that are coming. The bad times seem to be just on the horizon. All I can say is it to savor every minute with your small family. Make sure to budget, plan, pay bills and to keep moving forward. I know a lot of mothers are having to go back to work to help make ends meet and there are working mothers that are having to get more hours to work to help provide for your families. Stay strong wives and mothers....we know how to survive! 

We can also see the president is sending our military into the blue states and we should not applaud and be happy about it. I believe this is the first step into bringing the military into all the states. The blue states are experiencing the first wave and then the red states will be next. I do not say this with hate but I say this because I have been shown this. Remember to always let God know that he can show you anything because we are open minded to change! We are open minded. 

Till next time,
