Whatever Tries to Drag You Down...The Solution is never to Cry or Frown.... Instead....

Instead of letting something or someone else make you blue...   Instead of allowing negativity drive you...

Need no psychoanalyst to teach you you...

Let Stephanada meet you and greet you right here and NOW...

Regardless what anyone tells you...you & I can choose to not focus on bad news the unglues most anyone...
Dispel not only the evil in your midst...

Tell the negative complainers along your daily road to lighten their own load by either knocking off the chips on their shoulders...  or MOVE ON OVER...

Sing New Songs and get a new head upon your shoulders.....Shampoo not required....
Just a sincere desire to choose to wear blue without being blue.....

Those who refuse to permanently pack away their negativity...casually send them off alone to mope & groan....
Tell them when they decide to sing harmony to your joyous melody that they can return and you'll form a chorus to sing HIM New Songs of Praise to HIS Glory....

But they you will never stroll down GrumbleTumble Lane with them...
Sing!  Sing Sing New Songs and you will not be consumed by others complaints!
But rise far above your circumstance!

Sing Sing!! SMILE!!!

We Need Not Let Ourselves Be Blue...Wear Blue Instead...

And with a smile and a song in your heart....you can choose to dance not cry regardless who reject or refuses to accept your love and love you in return...

Realize when anyone yells at you when you are showing them kindness...
You are not the main object of attention in whatever public venue such happens!

Those who publicly criticize you are anyone...say nothing of the person whom they are talking about or trying to exclude from the club or pack you are both members and present with...

Quietly in the secret places of the minds and hearts of those watching???

They are questioning themselves about your accuser...  Do we really know her???  We thought we knew him???  But obviously they were artificially flavored...covering their real selves up to taste good only for a little while....which is now up!

So never be blue when ridiculed... Simply smile quietly...do not cry...for your accuser just uncovered their own disguise...and soon they will be gone for the last time...

Only if they publicly humble themselves saying they were wrong apologizing...Your new family of friends will not want them back for they could themselves be your accusers next victim!!

Keep Smiling and Singing....

EstherStephanada!

REGARDLESS TO THE WEATHER IN THE SKIES>>> OR IN THE MIDST OF YOUR LIFE...

You can turn the Mountains of raining pain of tears into HIS JOYOUS LAUGHTER
By Choosing to walk ontop of those clouds confronting you by using your attitude!

We can either walk wearily beneath the clouds ... letting the clouds grow thicker with ourwoe woes with mes... or

WE Can choose to give it all to HIM our hearts always upon our knees!
When we know that HE is with us and we are obeying HIM with every step...
WE KNOW THAT GOD WITH US...
not the evil one... WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!

WHEN you and I choose on purpose to SING and not CRY...
Smile and not scream and walk above the clouds with HIM and not below...

Even freezing tempretures without shelter cannot quench HIS Flame within ones heart!

Tuesday, January 5, 2010


Young or old,
     short or tall...

With a smile on your face and
       a song in your  heart...

The gloomiest of health or weather can become so much
Better...
When you choose to sing below the clouds that hover...
  Your tears and mourning HE will turn into laughter and dancing...



When you put your feet to the dance floor  trusting in HIS Love and Promises regardless to ones circumstances ...                                                
Not caring that one sticks out like a sour thumb... because their mom would not buy the same kind of shoes....

PRAYING DOWN THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS .... EMBRACING ALL INTERUPTINSASDIVINE APPOINTMENTS WITH OUR LORD!

Hi Y....  so long for a while....Sister Theresa~  & Teresa!  And Dear Friends!
I call you friends for HE calls us all friends... for we are no longer slaves to others...or to sin!

We came for the purpose of being a blessing and being blessed. 

Since those GOD called us to Bless and to be Blessed by, have not recieved us........
 GOD is sending us to Miami where we can sleep in our van and not  freeze to death!
We are actually on the highway now as I type this. 

God has wonderful sense of humor and is a  great dream weaver and maker of dreams come true!
When Billy & I were dating, we had  big plans of being true snow birds ...   motor-homing to Florida for winter & either Maine or Alaska for the summer!

Look out Jeb Bush here we come!!   And we just may meet Gov Palin come my next birthday...in August!!!

GOD has big plans for us...leading us away from where there was no love...
The only true poverty that exists in this world is the lack of knowledge of how to love  and how to let GOD love them through those HE places along their paths!

The Son of God had no place to lay HIS Holy  head...... yet we are Blessed withour Montana van!  HE had not a van to get HIM around with speed or protect HIM from stormy rains of pain.  HE spoke to storms and calmed them.... and at other times HE slept through them as  we continue to do with HIM, Through HIM, In HIM, For HIM, and because of HIM......

We give thanks with grateful hearts.... for HE is leading us....freeing us from bondage....once again!

May HIS Roads rise to meet you & I...... And All Doors Open Wide and never hit you from behind!!!
Merry Christmas!
EstherStephanada & Billy-Jacob....  From the Roads  From Sea to  Shining  Sea!

Much is forgiven every man & woman who loves much!
HE will make the way for you & Joseph too!! Try to be like Jerramiah who could see buds blooming in the midst of winter.....
You must choose to see it and speak about as reality... It will become when we speak it without doubt in our hearts!!

All ittaks istheFaith of a grain of a mustard seed to speak to all mountains of pain or suffering!

We nearly froze our toes and noses offthe other night... and GOD said once again:
"Move now!  Worry not about those who reject you and ME...

One Day they'll be your Footstool!
So GO FORTH ALONG YOUR WAY...SOUTH Florida is where you want to stay...

You need no maps dawlin....  Verizon Mobile garrett.dunn@cellularsales.com Tell him you were told by me... of his expertise...and he will  get you into whatever you desire at agreat price!!
and GPS is  where it's at for us HIS fun-loving yats!

Hi Yvonne!!
We can always keep in touch through the blogs!  If you become a  "Follower" you will always know about the Miracles HE is performing!

I expect that I eventually will be receiving so many emails that I will not be able to respond individually!

There were so many, many morethan yourealize, including all of our priests who either Bill or I asked if we could please sleep in the safety of the Sanctuary!

But they said a harsh firm "No!" To which Our Lord emplored me to say: "There was NO Room for Jesus Mary & Joseph in The Inn... So we are in the best of company!"

But anyone who writes directly onto the blogs... I will definately see that almost daily!!!
GOD Bless You AlwaysYvonne!  My Bill always leads our prayerswe pray together...

And he always includes prayers for your Bryan that GOD drawhim to Mass regularly with you!
Amen Amen Amen Alleluia!

GOD Bless you Pascale!

Suddenly, is your Word from Our Lord today...Dear!
Look in The Gospels....In each one everything Good that Jesus did happened "Suddenly"

The apostles and  Jesus were in a boat and Suddenly a storm struck and the heavens opened.....  "The sky was falling.. you may  say"  Jesus was sleeping through it all.....  and they woke HIM trembling in fear!

Lord don't you care that we are about to perish....and die out here???

We all perish for lack of knowledge... knowing how to set priorities, what is most important to our hearts Our Lord seeks to know?  http://heturnstheworldinhistime.blogspot.com/

Fear Not Saith The Lord....  I Am Always with you....  How long must I be with you for you to understand??

Can you see Jesus in your heart simply lifting HIS Holy head...  raising HIS strong arm & hand and Saying: "Be Still....  love prefectly... never allowing offense to take root in your heart...

For perfect love casts out all fear.....  Be still and know that I Am GOD.... and my peace which surpasses all understanding.... will guide your heart in and through mine!

And so in the midst of every storm the forcast is FAITH...

And My Billy-Jacob, and I his EstherStephanada... 
We are Forcasting Faith where ever you and those you love are...
A mustard seed grain of Faith is all it takes to  move your mountains into the deepest seas, and to dry out cell phones that decided to take a  dip into a deep Wendy's well... between bucket seats!

EstherStephanadacan & you can too do all things Through Him, With HIM, In HIM, and for HIM...

We can we can for we are HIS Cany can-can Girls and HIS CanyCan-Do men!

Hello! 
Yesterday was quite an adventure!  This is the first time I have had internet since the first time Billy & I met you Sandra, and your partners Ed & Jennie BraseField at THE
"ANTIQUE MARKET of CONCORD"  at 37 A-2 Union Street South Sunday evening
November 8, 2009.

Anita, we hope you and your hubby have seen the photos of the Royal Glass Vessels waiting for your purchase pick-up at the Antique Market of Concord.


It will take several days or weeks to complete what I have promised many of you... some of your eaddresses caused a server error I could not get correct.

So, Joyce, please foward this and my other emails youve received from me...  to all that were at the resturaunt last night... especially the band members!

If I cannot type their address correctly.... they may think my Word is not good...  my word..  only because I reinterate HIS and Only HIS....  is always kept!!  To me a promise is a Covenant!
My physical vision and technical skills>>>>  Now that is a different matter!

WHENEVER YOU or I TRY TO BE A BLESSING ALWAYS IN SPITE OF OTHERS...GOD ALWAYS TRIUMPHS FOR US!

My Billy and I refuse to allow the jealousy and vindictiveness of others to steal our joy!


GOD had made a way where there was no way for us... to get out of our Charlotte home which we had bought in HIDDEN VALLEY under the duress that Billy had a massive tumor and efused to have surgery until he had got me into a house of our own with our own locks... since maintance men were entering unrequsted unannounced!


The house served its purpose... a place for my Billy-Jacob,

my personal elder in heaven's gate to get healthy once again!


We tried to sell it, but after a years time and could not sell...

But had endured showings to persons who had no intention to purchase... but to snoop... nieghbors of coarse! Drug dealers... burglars and criminals of all kinds...

Police helicopters were above seemingly almost daily searching for another one.... and still another one!


GOD Summonsed us! Will you leave all behind if I but call your name?

Will you let the blinded see....will you kiss the leper clean and never be the same???

We gave a great big yes! Agreed to short sell our house...and believe and trust GOD for all things!


We had no way to find our own buyer for a a house in Drug Infested HIDDEN VALLEY...


So our prayer became: Lord we are willing...BUT NOT able...But You LORD are Willing and ABLE to Do All things... MAKE IT HAPPEN!!




And HE DID!!






We the next day went to an attorney about someone trying to collect a debt that was not ours...  and we had written letters to work something out aimacably with a few real creditors... but they instead of recognizing we were trying to make good on our debt and working with us...

Slapped us with law suits...  and this young yet wise attorney suggested... Instead of having me go after these thugs the usual way...



Let me file a bankrupcy for you...  throw all of your debt... including these that are obviously not yours...
Put your house in it and simply walk away!!!!

THAT WAS GOD!!!   Will you leave all behind if I but Call Your name...
Depend on only ME and Never Be the Same!!

HE is Faithful...  HE Makesthat way where there is no way ...HE goes ahead preparing our way...
And we will never be the same!!!!

Amen Amen Amen!
