1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

The fire happened on Memorial Day ... 05/29/2000
Thirteen years before the fire I hid some diamond jewelry before my then husband and I went on vacation. I had collected one nice piece of jewelry a year for years so it was no small stash! When I got home I could not, for the life of me find where I had hidden it! I looked EVERYWHERE! FOR YEARS!! I wouldn't throw anything away until I gave it a good once over looking for my jewelry. That went on for 13 years. The day my house was gutted I told the Lord, "Well, I guess I can finally stop worrying about THAT now!"
The fire happened on a Monday, that Friday my brother, his wife and daughter came to help me go through the mess. The house was gutted but the structure was still safe to go through...yes, the ceiling over the living-room was on the floor everything was completely black and pretty much destroyed, but we could still look for things that may not have burned. Amazing, I know! What we discovered was that things, like insulation, would fall on top of something else and smother the fire in that place... It was all still black, and nasty, but solid pieces could still be found. So we spent all day Saturday and half the day Sunday digging down into waist high piles of ashes in search of anything we might be able to find.
I was able to find a diamond cross even though it was totally coated with black wax from a melted candle and my sister-in-law found a black roll of gold jewelry (I use to sell jewelry) There were 60 necklaces, 10 bracelets and 12 rings...and all were fine! AMAZING!
On Sunday morning I woke up with the Holy Spirit telling me to look in a particular closet upstairs in my craft room. He didn't say why, or what I would find so I argued that I didn't want to, I knew what was in that closet and I didn't want to be bothered even if it had survived! I used that particular closet for storing a collection of ceramic Disney characters and other memorabilia that I had been collecting for about 25 years. Sure, some of it was valuable but at this point, it was just "stuff" that I didn't care anything about. But, I'm sure you too have been NAGGED by the Holy Spirit so you know what I mean when I say he would NOT let it go! "Go into that closet!" "No, I don't want to!" The main reason I argued was that there was an impossible pile about 4 feet high of burnt "stuff" between me and that door and it was no small task to get to that closet! But, I knew that if I didn't go ahead and get the job done the nagging would continue! So, I took the 30 minutes to dig a path and unblock the door enough to look inside. When I could get the door opened about a foot I looked inside and saw a wooden puzzle box that my brother had given me years before. It was charred but had not completely burned. When I reached in and pulled it out I heard my LONG LOST jewelry!!! The Lord had saved my jewelry for me! Not only that, He had shown me where it was! ... God Speaking...
Come back for "Part 3 - What about your necklace".

If you are here from Mattie's site and you want to know more about the week my house burned down and God speaking...start HERE. The story starts there, I'll have to write more...and I will, soon, I promise. Please come back for that because it was an incredible week! The Holy Spirit took me directly to some lost jewelry 2 times, and I got my birh certificate, passport and a new visa to Russia replaced and in my hands in FIVE DAYS!!! Everyone said that was impossible, but my God laughs at the word impossible! I was scheduled to go to Russia on a mission trip the next week so I never doubted that HE would make it happen! I went on that mission trip!
If you have been here before and wondered where I have been...simple, I could NOT remember my password! And I couldn't have it sent to me because I no longer have the email address this blog is listed under. Speaking of it, I'm going to go fix that right now.
OK.... I'm back, again... that was not as simple as I had hoped!! It wouldn't let me use my new email because I already had another account using that email... can't share emails!! BUT, there was a way to put it all together so I've been doing that....all better now.
I won't say any more tonight..I'm sleepy...

How to Become Debt Free (Copied from Kenneth Copeland ... http://www.kcm.org/)
Becoming debt free is something every Christian can—and should—accomplish. The Bible tells us in
Romans 13:8 to “keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love on anther…” (The Amplified Bible). In fact, as believers, we should be the lender, not the borrower (Deuteronomy 28:12).
What’s the big deal over borrowing money when all the world seems to be in debt? The problem is just that—debt is part of the world’s system of finance. It’s a system devised by the devil to keep us in bondage to the world (see Deuteronomy 28:15, 43-44; Proverbs 22:7). Jesus, however, has redeemed us from the curse of the law, and we are free to walk in all the blessing of Abraham (Galatians 3:13-14).
You may be thinking: I understand that the Scriptures tell us to get out of debt. But how realistic is it for me to even think about owning a car or a house, or any of the other nice things I want, if I’m not willing to borrow the money to get them?
That’s a good question, and we want to share with you the following powerful truths that we have discovered—and experienced—in God’s Word.
Decide to get out of debt and live debt free.Start by giving the Word first place in your life, and by making it your final authority. With that, you must decide to obey Romans 13:8 and believe God to be your source for all your needs and desires. Determine to be single-minded (James 1:8, 22-25), and then meditate on the Word (Psalms 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8).
Put God first in your financial affairs.Decide that no matter what comes your way, you will obey God’s Word and tithe, as well as be a giver (Malachi 3:8-12; II Corinthians 9:6-15). Tithing lays the foundation for your financial success. (See the confession about giving below.)
Believe God for your daily bread (Matthew 6:11).
This is the money you need for your household to function every day. Your tithes and giving should be included in this, but don’t cheat yourself. Make sure you also include in this “daily bread” amount some “padding” for other things—such as debt payments, etc.—above your tithes, giving and necessities.
And remember, do not write “hot” checks—checks which your bank balance will not cover. This is fraud.
Get in agreement (Matthew 18:19).
Have your spouse agree with you, and if you are not married, find a strong believer who will agree with you.
Lay hold of it by faith.Follow the principles set out in Mark 11:23-24. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that your needs are met, that you are out of debt, that the windows of heaven are opened to you, that the hundredfold return is yours in this lifetime and that you operate financially according to the wisdom of God. (See Proverbs 2:1-10, 3:13-18.)
Bind the devil in the Name of Jesus (Matthew 18:18; Mark 16:17; James 4:7; Ephesians 6:10-18).
In Jesus’ Name, order Satan and all his forces out of your financial affairs. When you are dealing with a financial matter involving the family, it is important that the husband and/or father—who is responsible as the spiritual head of the home—take the lead in this resistance of the devil’s attacks.
Loose the forces of heaven into your financial affairs (Hebrews 1:14; Psalms 103:20).
The angels of God are your ministering spirits and they too will assist you.
Praise God for the manifestation of His power in your financial affairs (Psalms 9:1-4, 67:5-6, 68:19).
Praise keeps the door to abundance wide open. When the channel between you and God is clear, you can receive His promises.
Finally, it is important to realize—and decide—that you are living to give (Ephesians 4:28). Live on the increase from your giving, that is, reach for the place in your financial life where the income from your job or business becomes your seed for giving.
And as you sow, believe for a hundredfold harvest. You will be a blessing to others and be out of debt. God will bless you and “make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (II Corinthians 9:8).
