Normalcy Bias is rampant in the world October 2021

 NORMALCY BIAS!! 

At what point does reality hit us?

When do I need to assume that what I assume is "normal" will never be available again?

Since March 2020 Spring Break, until now October 2021, our lives have been chipped away little by little by authorities that supposedly were elected to lead us to safety and "life as normal" again. NOT SO!! 

When the time for preparations comes, the time to prepare is gone!

This quote has been part of my "normal" since probably Y2K. What a year that was... Fear controlled so many. I had prepared way more that I should have, and then POOF.. it was NOTHING. Then 

9/11 happened! Everyone got all "back to Jesus"... and then Poof... we got comfortable in knowing that things were getting back to "normal" and we just had to adjust to a little tighter restrictions because we understood that we had vulnerabilities. 

We got back to being self sufficient and doing what we do. We got "back to normal". 

Then... 2019... yes!!! I believe this 

"plan-demic" has been in the making for way longer than the year and a half we've "seen" it... but sometimes I wonder "whose blueprints are we living?" 

Thank goodness I KNOW the ONE WHO MAKES the plans!!

He will NEVER fail us, and HE will never lie to me! He says... "I've already told you so that you will not be caught unaware"!

My dad's last words... that I believe were spoken to him as he took the hands of Jesus on the other side... were..

"Everything's gonna be alright!"

I believe Jesus told dad that and he simply repeated those words so that the ones standing around his bed heard too. 

I believe "everything's gonna be alright!!" I believe that because I know Who holds my future and that of my family and loved ones! He does everything right! 

What is "normal"?  What is "real"? 

What is sure?

Jesus Christ Who is my rock, my Redeemer and my Salvation. 

Can we pray amiss?

Do NOT say "it is God" when it might not line up with His Word, His Way or His TRUTH!! It could just be your way, your will and your idea of truth. Make sure that you have ask, sought and knocked on those doors completely before attributing "will"!!

When Emma was a tiny little one and we were about to go to Scottish Rite for Idiopathic Infantile Scoliosis, Sam was in town to speak. Troy and I, with Elly and Will's permission had asked him to pray over Emma... his response to me was... "let me pray into this and I'll let you know"... he then came back and said... "God has not told me not to pray for this outcome so yes, I absolutely would love to pray healing of Emma's spine."

At first I thought... that was a strange response... shouldn't we always pray when asked? Perhaps it was not just to pray, but the prayer for something specific?? I still think about this.

Emma's spine is perfect and probably straighter than anyone who never dealt with this. God is responsible for this healing I totally believe. 

I often wonder what "praying amiss" means. Can prayer ever be wrong? 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... These are unprecedented days where there is no roadmap!

 I wonder each day... 

HOW in the world did we get to this place?

Lord could this be the day You come back?

How can You allow things to continue like this?

and yet...

I know that I know that I know... 

Today, August 4, 2021, I have a series of texts, emails and podcasts that are telling me to "get your house in order"! Do it now! Fema will be having a "test" of the emergency broadcast systems nationwide (Aug. 11)

that will intentionally knock out power and communications to test our nations readiness. 

Good grief!! The word "test" is something I've begun to hate hearing! The pcrtests for the c-disease is now supposed to be faulty as well as the dubious disease itself. How many varieties can there be? How many lies can be foisted on us? How do we know what, where, when, or who to trust? 

I do know that I've become so very dependent on Holy Spirit to filter my eyes and ears and tell me Truth in spite of all that rushes to make me believe it's viewpoint, talking point or agenda! Enough is enough!!! I've had enough! I want to stand in faith on an unshakeable rock and the TRUTH that is uncompromised and incomparable!

The divisions these days run like deep chasms in families and in every other system that used to be united and synergistic. NO MORE! The CrRcTh has taken center stage and education systems seem to be in the bandwagon to embrace its Marxist philosophy wholeheartedly. I'm so sad! Hitler was a proponent and look at that brutal, and merciless regime. How in the world are we here? If you had asked me 5, even 3 years ago if I believed our nation would look like this I'd have said NO WAY! Not "one nation under God"... but perhaps we are now not under THE GOD OF CREATION, but under the sway of the prince of the powers of the air.?? I look for explanations; I research all I can (from a very few sources outside of mainstream); I pray; I ask; I seek.... I know the Word says, Ask and you will receive,  Seek and you will find, Knock and the door will be opened... 

Matthew 7:7

God help us! Jesus is the answer to these days (as He has ever been!!) 

I think to myself... Lord what is coming??

Your Word has said You tell us before things happen so we are not unprepared. I know that this is a truth because it has happened so very often in this family. Our consistent prayer is "Lord show us the traps or potholes before we step into them so we can walk securely as Your children in these days". 

HE IS FAITHFUL!

What do I think will be coming in these next days?

1) another lockdown (hopefully Abbott will not let this happen in Texas)

2) Guns taken or attempts at gun legislation in disregard to our 2nd amendment rights... again hopeful that this will not happen in Texas

3) Mask mandates are already in effect in the blue states but not in Texas or Florida

4) restricted gathering (maybe even monitored)

5) travel restrictions (right now American and Spirit airlines are cancelling flights right and left)

6) price of groceries will continue to skyrocket

7) drought and crazy weather patterns will get worse (doesn't the Word say this??)

8) the dollar will continue to be devalued (right now probably lost 1/2 it's value)

9) gas prices are only going up and up.. making travel and lockdown even more prohibited

10) the drought is causing things in West and Northwest to be plowed under or not producing... again groceries are doubling in cost (a loaf of bread a days wages??? see revelation)

11) I believe there may be something done to prohibit an election of 2022! the ones in power are NOT wanting to relinquish... GOD HELP US!!!

12) Education is giving in to CRT and school boards are beginning to see people rebel against this socialistic travesty! God give parents wisdom and courage for their children.

13) UIL will have some kind of response and it will require true courage and bravery for parents to respond with wisdom from above. LORD bless us with Holy Spirit guidance over our children!! 

14) NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE TO THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. HIS WORD SAYS THAT "THESE THINGS MUST HAPPEN", AND IT SAYS "I TELL YOU BEFORE SO THAT YOU ARE NOT UNAWARE".  WE CAN STAND ON THIS MY DEAR ONES!!!

15) GOD IS IN CONTROL OF THIS TIMELINE!!!

He will NEVER let go of His own, and we KNOW HIS voice!
