Why did He have to die?

We were separated from God. The VEIL separated us even more than for the priests who got to enter the Holy temple in the Old Testament)

When He died, the VEIL was TORN. Jesus died at the exact moment that the sacrifice for PASSOVER was held.  At that same time that Jesus breathed His last breath, the temple veil ENDED.  The veil’s being torn, by God Himself, symbolized the fact that mankind’s separation from God had been removed by Jesus’ supreme sacrifice at ON THAT CROSS.

SO, why?
1. For our healing and reunion with OUR FATHER

2. Our forgiveness wasn’t free but was freely given.

3. We are now clean in HIS eyes. 

4. Our sin held you HANGING until it was accomplished

Tatum and I still had school, but we spent some time in PRAYER this morning. (She got a little lip gloss too so she could SAY HIS NAME more clearly) smile.

In terms of other great events, my HONEY decorated for Connie! Her bday was today, and it just so happens it’s the same day for her to come to teach TOT art.

My dear friend, Bob Hager, also has a bday. Tatum’s production company: B1RDS production made him a sweet amazing BDAY video. !!! YAY! (COOPY observed)

I LOVE Saturday. Now, we are in the “darkness,” but soon the LIGHT will appear.

May your PRESENCE be known by ALL, Jesus. I LOVE YOU!

I love AI. No, I actually think this is a PERSON with feelings. You see, some days, a memory will pop up on my phone and it just KNOWS, I needed it.

Today. I was reminded of the days I used to take Tot to church and we’d sit in the “cry room.” Yes, she’d cry too. (haha) and drink “coffee.”

Oh the joy!

She actually comforted me. I remember those days of running around after her, and actually she was the one giving me life. And then there was the COTI piece.

This fluffernutter was just one big cuddle bug.

Such good memories. Now, we are making new memories with being home and schooling. Now we have Coopy, Rio, and Ollie.’

We make IT WORK daily with being a TEAM.

Some days, I just don’t know how I can do it. But, WITH GOD, right?

Tatum, I’m committed to making these the best years of your life.

I LOVE YOU. We are a team…no I in that! xxoo

This Palm Sunday, I reflect. The sermon today had me think…..am I still devoted although I feel it’s been REEEEEEEALY hard?

Let’s look at John 8:12. A pivotal verse when times get hard.

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

HE SPEAKS TO ALL…not just his followers. Remember, His mission is to reach a broad audience. He says, HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! (HE IS A divine source of spiritual illumination and guidance for all humanity, outperforming the temporary light of the sun or a lamp) BUT THEN, He promises: Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness.

This is where it gets good. Gosh, I walk in darkness DAILY (it feels this way when I feel awful and have NO UNDERSTANDING). BUT, Jesus promises that those who follow Him will be delivered from this dark path which means a transformative relationship that leads to moral and spiritual clarity. (maybe not CIRCUMSTANTIAL clarity, HA! .darn).

And then he says: “but will have the light of life.”

I understand that this light is not just an external guide but an “internal presence that brings life and vitality.” (according to my study bible) Moreover, it reflects the life-giving power of Jesus, who is both the source and sustainer of spiritual life. THIS SHOULD impact every aspect of a MY LIFE (even the dark days)

So, take heart, Stephanie. Take heart, friend. Take heart, seeker. HE is the source and the keeper of the flame inside.

Now, as I think about my days with my family. I have my wonderful husband who sticks bye no matter what. (JUST WOW) I see my Tot. My sweet girl who I have the HONOR of raising. EVERY DAY is just plain HARD. When I am under attack health wise, it’s even harder. I don’t mean it’s hard in that it’s BAD hard. It’s just (sometimes I don’t know what to do) hard. But again, JESUS. Right? She bought this shirt to remind us this Easter.

We have been WASHED ANEW!~

We “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Thank you Jesus for this reminder this HOLY WEEK. May it be my constant reminder as I reflect on WHO YOU ARE>

Oh, it’s the little things.

Tatum wanted me to curl her hair for Hayden’s birthday party.

My girl’s got curls! I love it. Her hair is so fine, we needed to load up on the spray.

All the boys will just love it. BTW, she is the only girl at his party. She’s one of “da boyz” apparently.

Daddy gave me these flowers from our garden to top of the beautiful day.

Pure beauty. xxoo

OH, and here is some cool pics from his party including a CAPYBARA~

Yup that lil one is ME! It’s the only time I think dad held me!

I’m so cute! YES? Gosh we look so happy!? Lil did I know it would be the last family photo we took.

I still miss you so much Daddy.

I hope that they give me PEP! That is my prayer.

I have been researching peptides for a while now.

FIRST there is BPC 157

• BPC = “Body Protection Compound”
• 157 = A sequence of 15 amino acids derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice
• It is not FDA-approved but is commonly researched for healing, gut health, and tissue repair

Supposedly it speeds up recovery from injuries (tendons, muscles, joints); Helps with IBS, ulcers, and leaky gut; May reduce inflammation and oxidative stress; Some research suggests neuroprotective effects, and – Possible benefit for arthritis and connective tissue

Then I added Thymosin Beta (TB500)

this is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide involved in tissue repair, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory processes.Aside from reducing inflammation, it also is a potential benefit for arthritis and cartilage repair. it also aids in circulation and tissue regeneration. Some studies suggest neuroprotective effects.

finally I’ll be adding the GHK-CU peptide.

this is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide known for its skin regeneration, wound healing, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties. I love that it is activating healing and regenerative pathways plus it improves skin, hair, and joint health. For my CBC, it enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery.

I will reconstitute these with BAC water.

And the Copper, My honey made it into a nasal spray.

Looking forward to my new PEP!

A big day of excitement.

First, Tatum is singing today at church in the Chapel! Kasey and Connie will join us. So fun!
I wish my mom could have come

Jamie gave the message, and I loved the part about having the faith of a mustard seed. Just wow! Look at the size of this tree from a tiny seed. I need to hear this today since my faith is so rocked by this illness (whatever it is). I did not know how I would make it to church.

BUT GOD….Yes. By him..from him… for him.

So, Tatum made mom a sweet picture. I LOVE her artwork.

Rio, Ollie and a cute duckie in the middle.

She also made her a video of Happy Birthday.

We had a WEE bit of cherry pie.

And chatted a lot with my dear cousin.

And just enjoyed the family. HI TOT!

My mom is growing old gracefully. I’m so glad we all could be together today.
