I'm back in the cabin in the woods and this is what makes me come back....my food forest.

Day after tomorrow we will be flying back to the US. I miss my garden and my tiny life in the woods but I'm weary of having to deal with airports and flying. I love to imagine travel and being in some new place for a change but the actual execution of it has lost its glitter for me. Could it be true what someone said that an imagined life is better than life lived? Of course it is. Imagination is limitless. Imagination is the most powerful tool a person can use to make things happen. The bible shows if you can imagine it, you can have it.
I have been imagining of a ranch somewhere in West Texas in the hill country, where I could have animals running all over the landscape of over 100 acres. It will have a stream running through it with small cottages to house people who is trying to rebuild their life and start over. West Texas is close to the border of Mexico so I hope to employ Mexicans or Latinos to till the land and grow food. It will be a sanctuary for the downtrodden and needy but most of all it will be a place to know God and His Son Jesus; and live the life He died for to give us. Exciting? Yup. I'm excited.

We've always heard that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the body, but I read an article stating it's the other way around--a person has chemical imbalance because that person is depressed. I believe the latter to be true based on the book I read by Dr. Caroline Leaf, titled, Switch on Your Brain. It's a Great easy read....just as long as you read it slow; after a page or a paragraph, pause and go wash the dishes or the windows while pondering a statement. Seriously I love it!
I have always struggled with depression after I left the pure innocence of childhood and entered the threshold of bills and broken heart. Until 6 years ago when Jesus healed me. Well, the last 3 days I've been feeling low ---not depressed, just not up to par with the truth of what God said. God said: Jesus, His only son, died for us so we can have an abundant life. Abundant life means financial prosperity, physical/mental/emotional healing and when this body is ready to leave this earth, we will put on an incorruptible body and are guaranteed to live with him and not in hell. IF, we believe this truth and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, we are eternally redeemed from the curse of hell. We all have eternal life, that's not the question, the question is where will we spend it? I am not going to hell, so 27 years ago, I made a reservation already through Christ. If you haven't, do it now.

Bait and Click
There are Youtubers who produce contents that are inspiring, funny, helpful and very well presented. I love it and subscribe to them. But when they start running out of meaningful content they resort to tricks, to get more viewers. That's where I draw the line, when they start using deceptive captioning.
There's this American woman who is married to a man from Thailand. I love her stories but when she started using tricky captions: "Leaving my Thai Husband" sure will make anyone curious, especially when you find the husband nice and attractive, but then you find that she meant she's leaving him because she has to go to another town. I just could not like her or her stories anymore. But hey, whatever works, right? Maybe. Maybe not.

I need your help
Every day is a good day, except some days are better. Today is in the better category because I learned how to customize my You Tube channel without screaming "I'm too old for this".
I promise I will have better content and better quality sooner than soon.

Facebook who?
I was trying to create another Facebook account on this laptop, but Facebook keeps telling they "can't process my request". I have created a You Tube account, but I am not on any other social media platform. Well, I'm not in the mood to keep trying and beg Facebook. I don't beg for crumbs. Not from Mark. I don't even care to ask him what a lot of you wants to know: What's the one thing that made him choose a Chinese wife? I'll tell you the answer---who else could count all that money? 😜😜😜
Market Crashing? Inflation? Depression?
First there was the covid pandemic scam. Well, not totally a scam because the virus was real. China is famous for counterfeiting luxury brand bags and other useless stuff, but this covid mess was genuinely Chinese. It was the mediation of it that was a scam. Money driven therapy for a virus that has a 99.9% recovery rate, yet it was sold globally as a virus that could wipe out a country. And everyone bought the lie, except the ones who didn't read the news or watched tv.
Now here's another dark cloud hovering over people--the market crashing and the coming of another great depression. [if it has not arrived already] But being born and raised in the Philippines I'm not afraid of depression, recession or inflation; we ate all 3 of these when I was growing up. And now that I know who I am in Jesus, the worlds' economy does not concern me. I have guaranteed stocks with the following symbols: Luke6:38 and Malachi3:10

Canadian Thanksgiving Day
Today October 10th the Canadians celebrates Thanksgiving. And since I'm here in Canada, I expect food just as I would expect it next month when we in the US celebrates ours. Oh yes, I'm thankful. I'm thankful every day. But let's be honest, in every celebration isn't it celebrated with food? Thanksgiving is the jumping point to Christmas, and it's the last meal before the year ends that we can eat without guilt and explanation---because we're not expected to bring a gift to exchange. I don't know what sorry soul came up with this invention of exchanging gifts at Christmas. I like receiving gifts. I like receiving lots of gifts. Exchanging? Not so much. Oh well, I need to go and eat at Chat's house. I'm not expected to bring anything but my Redneck.

Mexican Panaderia
I grew up with a mother who did not believe in luxurious spending; by luxurious I mean not spending on anything besides the necessary rice and dried fish. When she cooked our food using oil instead of the usual grilling or boiling, I suspected someone must have died and left us a big inheritance. Cakes? The first bite that entered my mouth was when I was in high school when a rich classmate brought some for the teacher. My palate was not trained on sweets so I don't really crave for them but when I go to the Mexican market I always stop by their panaderia and make my eyes feast on the rich colors.

Energy affects Matter
Everything we see is matter and it contains atomic particles. In quantum physics scientists discovered that atomic particles are not visible unless it is observed, meaning it responds to the observers interaction with it. Words are energy and it affects matter. Remember when Jesus spoke to the fig tree and cursed it simply with a negative pronouncement? The tree responded from the atomic level and dried up.[ Mark 11:14] Jesus was demonstrating a simple law of physics.
The things that you desire are made up of atoms, they know what you believe, they hear what you say and behave accordingly. So be careful of the words you speak because everything will obey you. Except your husband.

Empowered Friday
It's Friday ya'll and blessings are coming your way. Regardless what you hear or feel today, know that the God of the universe who created you, who formed you in the womb and separated you from the crowd of losers and small mindedness, loves you and is ready to give you what He has always planned for you. Jeremiah 29:11
Our hope is not only in knowing that God loves us but that the one Who loves us has the power to make things happen for us. Just believe and receive this truth!

I am now reunited with my old books. I went through the box and found that these are the old Harvard Classics. It's ok but I was hoping my old Mark Twain books are here. With all the moving I've done I got rid of all my books except this classics because I was hoping my daughter would want to keep it for the grands. But she doesn't want them so I took them back. They're in my condo here in Canada now. And I'm here with them.
Now I just need to figure out how to post pictures again. This laptop is 6 days old, it's bought I by my friend. For me. Yes, for me. For the last 7 years I only used my cell phone. Now, I am back to spin words.
Hang in there peeps.

I. Am.Here.
After several years. The time is NOW. I am back and ready to spin some words. If you stayed with me through all these years without a word from me, I owe you. And I love you.
