As Jesus said, “Go and do likewise. As the route of your life path and your winks from God begin to emerge—like a rainbow out of the mists of your mind—you will be struck by the message of hope that it holds for you.” - Squire Rushnell - 

Are God's winks real, or are they just chance events? Yesterday started as a busy day with some challenges. 

Our air conditioning unit had stopped working, and we were scheduled to get the unit replaced before the Tennessee temperatures started their summer climb.

The work truck pulled up, and three workers stepped out, not knowing that God had a plan… 

One of the men had to come into the house, and we exchanged greetings.  I explained I would need to leave at 2 pm to pick up my granddaughter from school. 

In our conversation, he used the word blessed, which was the beginning of what was about to unfold. 

I said you must be a Christian. He acknowledged my question with a smile and said yes. And he returned to start the work he had been hired to do… 

The day seemed to slip away, and soon, it was time to leave. I advised them I would be going to pick up my granddaughter. 

I realized I was too early as I traveled towards the school, so I bought the workers a lemonade. I returned to deliver the drinks. The one young man was kneeling by the unit alone, and I asked him what church he attended.  He told the name and smiled. With that opening, I began to tell him my testimony… I explained how the Holy Spirit touched me with an indescribable love right here in the city of Triune, TN, which means Trinity. 

I shared with him about my medical miracle, no surgery needed… I advised him that I share my story on a blog and podcast…He looked up, smiled, and said you must write a book. I laughed and said I have two selling on Amazon right now. 

I explained I needed to leave, but I would show him both of my books upon my return. 

I soon returned. And he came in to install the new thermostat. I grabbed both books off the coffee table and showed him the covers. He quickly said I want to buy one. I explained that these are hardcovers and that they run $30.00. I have digital copies available online for only $3.33.

He insisted he wanted one of the hard copies… whipped out 30 dollars, and the deal was completed.  I showed him to my studio, where the wall is adorned with images of Jesus I painted. He reacted very kindly as he looked at the images. Then, He asked if he could take pictures of my paintings to share with his wife. I said sure; he snapped a few images. He thanked me, gathered his tools and the book, and walked out. 

I stepped out to the porch for some last-minute instructions from the project manager. 

As we spoke, the young, smiling man approached me with the book and pen, saying he could only leave with the book if I signed it. 

We exchanged smiles as he handed me the book and a pen. 

How would you like me to dedicate the book??? What is your name? 

He smiled and said Actually, my name is Jesus!!! But they call me Jes… 

I spent the day with Jesus in more than one way...Because my Jesus was present during the God wink moment… 

Sometimes God orchestrates meetings with perfect strangers that will linger as cherished memories…

Never let a moment slip through our fingers to share Him…

Today, I was blessed by Jesus…

“If you look at the Bible as a whole, it’s redemptive and beautiful, and it’s God’s love story to mankind.” – Tom Shadyac

Meaning of the word Book a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.

There are 28 Bible verses that reference the word “book”.

There are so many books we could have chosen for this word study. But since this is a Bible word study, we of course landed on the most amazing book of all time. 

Did you know these facts?

By the end of 1995, combined global sales of Today's English Version (Good News) New Testament and Bible (copyright for which is held by the Bible Societies) exceeded 17.75 million copies, and the whole Bible had been translated into 349 languages; 2,123 languages have at least one book of the Bible in that language.https://www.guinnessworldrecords.

The oldest Biblical text that has been found is about 2700 years old

The King James Authorized Bible has 783,137 words.

There are 23,145 verses in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses in the New Testament. This gives a total of 31,102 verses.

When we look with our eyes at the facts about this amazing book. A book that was written so long ago it can be mind-blowing. But what happens when we began to see the words with our spiritual eyes… I know by experience It can blow our souls wide open. 

As always, I will share just a little fact about me and my journey. Before I started on this amazing journey, I had never read the Bible. I had a Bible, but I found the book confusing, old and boring. This square black book that I received over 30 years ago, has been sitting so quietly on my shelf. It has a gold inscription of my given name on the cover.  When I think of all the years it has been with me I truly do not understand how it survived. I most likely only kept it because my name was so permanently engraved on its cover. It was personalized.  

Little did I know how my life would change. As many of you know two years ago I had a Holy Spirit experience. And the Bible was not in my sights, nor did I have any desire to read it.  I just wanted to feel Him with my spirit. I was on a spiritual quest of knowing God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The three taught me many things about life and love. Somehow, someway, I found that I fell in love with the most amazing soul I have grown to know… And as I shared Him with anyone who would listen. My new-found friend continued her relentless quest of sharing the importance of His amazing book. Looking back my friend knew it was time for me to discover more about this amazing soul that lavished this unexplainable love upon my heart… 

So, it was in December of 2019. I began to open the pages and I began the most amazing journey of studying this old boring book one word at a time. As I touched each word my heart began to open and with each word He spoke love to my soul. Each word, Each verse, Each scripture came alive and brought me to a closer understanding of His amazing love. It’s is a masterpiece of wonder! It can take you to places you have never been. I can see and feel His Spirit running through each word, each chapter, each verse.

And now I know why I have carried this square black book with me for the last 30 years. Because He knew that one day His name would be permanently engraved across my heart… He personalized it with His Book and His amazing LOVE.  

As many of you know the Bible starts out with this verse  “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”  Genesis 1 NIV

But I say in the beginning 

It’s Him, It’s always HIM. He is the beginning…
