Start Reading: Finding Divine Peace in a Weary World

To you who is about to start or finish reading my writings.
They To Me Are A Breath Of Jesus Christ Holy Spirit

Finding beauty and a steady hope along the winding journey.
Finding beauty and a steady hope along the journey

Was it worth the journey? They to me, are a breath of Jesus Christ Holy Spirit. He breathed life into the words He gave me. Ultimately, it is time that I have to let it go. Mind you, no one can say anything negative to make me change my mind.

It never budged. My decision was made the day I put my pen to the paper in the “In Presence of Spirit” single writing and edited piece. Consequently, I did not know that several years later, I would fall off the face of the earth. Indeed, I fell right into the Lord’s presence.

Even through all the trials and tribulations, I give thanks to You, Wendy for staying steadfast through all the obstacles. I guess it was about time I thanked myself. I know anyone who gets this far has made me smile. It is ready to be read. No, actually, I lost my smile years ago.

Thank you for reading my ultimate plight to the light. It ignites the light of the Universal Oneness.

Furthermore, it must bring Jesus Christ into His Kingdom evermore. No one can tell me in reading these pages that it does not have Spirit. It is completely filled with the Holy Presence of Spirit.

“There is too much ugliness in the World.” Therefore, I am going to spread some peace with Jesus and Wendy in writing to the World. I am who I am.

I am proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of Our Ever Loving Souls, straight from The Spirit of the Lord. Let Jesus take your burden and give you space to breathe. Hold fast. Reach into your heart and soul.

May 23, 2008 • I was always finishing, every year.

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”

— Job 33:4 (KJV)

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

— John 14:26 (KJV)

“And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.”

— John 20:22 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

• I reach deeply into my heart and soul today, letting go of every heavy burden the world tries to lay on me.

• I hold fast to the steadfast peace of Jesus Christ, knowing that my steps were ordered the moment my pen met the paper.

• I open my heart to the Holy Presence of Spirit, allowing His divine breath to fill me with room to breathe, rest, and stand unmovable.

Reflection

Leaving a long trail of personal devotion behind requires a profound surrender.

 

When the world feels filled with overwhelming choices and trials, returning to the moment the pen first met the paper grounds the soul.

 

True stillness is found when we stop striving, step into the sanctuary of His presence, and simply allow ourselves to be found by the light that evermore shines.

Where is the Heart of the World: Wake Up All Ye Dry Bones

Wake up, all ye dry bones.

A landscape photograph from a traveler's journey capturing a serene lake with deep blue water stretching across to a massive mountain rising in all its beauty.
Beholding the steady, immovable beauty of His creation resting across the still waters.

Jesus, I give You all my love and all the words to You. The spark is ignited. All you have to do is go with the flow.

Follow your inner conscience to the indwelling Christ within. Jesus, I give all my love, all the words, to You, Father, because they are with You in Spirit.

As I received, I am sharing abundantly to each one who wants to take a chance and read our conversations.

I am the only one that has read it. I have felt it was time throughout the writings that I should share, and I tried. This time is different because it is the Lord’s Time.

I have been reading out loud to my friend from In Presence of Spirit, written by me. I read May, June, and July 1996, and The State of Being. The chapters are short, but they say so much. They are soothing words; I can feel the passion of Christ, and I can sense His presence.

Can you tell I love Jesus? I followed His calling. I heard, and I kept it safe for you. For each one who longs, your longing will vanish as the Holy Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father clears the misconceptions and helps us through His very presence in Spirit.

Open up your heart to understanding, my journey to the innermost part of my soul’s quest and my soul’s voyage. To come to completion, the Lord’s and my times In Presence of Spirit.

I thank the readers of my writing. I am going to document, as I have done with all my writings, that I am sharing it with anyone that will run across it one day. Be that I am here now, but one day I will be gone—but not in spirit.

Thank you for reading my writings. It was a giant surprise to see how many people have been reading for over an hour to date. What am I going to do when I am out of pages? Help me, Lord, with the answers. Thank You for viewing my writings.

If any of you who are reading this have knots in your back or sciatica, I have found relief. I refused help when it was available, but now the knots are almost gone. I have relief. Thank You for reading In Presence of Spirit.

“Then he said unto me, Prophesy unto these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:”
— Ezekiel 37:4-5 (KJV)

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”
— Psalm 107:20 (KJV)

“He that believe on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

Daily Affirmations

I. Ignited Spark: I fully awaken my spirit today, allowing the spark of the Holy Spirit to flow freely through my inner conscience and guide my steps.

II. Ultimate Healing: I cast down all chronic physical exhaustion and pain, resting in the truth that the presence of Christ restores, strengthens, and renews my body.

III. Living Testimony: I boldly share the timeless gift of my journey, knowing that my words carry the light of eternity to help comfort and heal the multitudes.

Reflection

Begun in May 2008, this deeply moving piece serves as an ultimate milestone celebrating the transition of a private, hidden manuscript into a thriving public ministry.

Opening with a prophetic call for dry bones to awaken, the author models pure transparency by sharing an intimate spiritual dialogue that was kept safely tucked away for decades.

By handling long-standing boundaries with grace, the text documents a profound relief—both from spiritual isolation and from years of navigating untreated chronic pain and physical exhaustion.

Moving well past the early days of uncertainty, this poignant writing frames the entire collection as an eternal legacy, leaving behind a permanent trail of comfort designed to clear human misconceptions and connect the hearts of the multitudes directly to the indwelling presence of Christ.

How to Awaken Your Soul for a Powerful Union in Spirit

Jesus, in Your name I do pray. “God Bless The Universe.”

A traveler's photograph capturing a clear curving asphalt road with snow covered mountains in the background and a line of evergreen trees
Navigating the quiet curves of life, anchored by the massive strength of His timeless hills.

Bring peace, eternal in You, holy Father. Yours is the one true knowledge, in heart and soul realization, to the opening of, “I am, in presence of spirit, in conversations with the Lord.”

Mortal Author: Wendy. Spiritual Author: Christ Jesus Spirit with Wendy in Writing to the World—with You, with You in Spirit; through You, through You in Spirit.

Below You, above You, and on the sides of You. On top of your feet. In Your arms, I rest, in Your presence, of this work that is bestowed on me.

No one could stop me from following Your call. It is on paper. It is published, it is practiced, and it is put out, but now it is going to be within the grasp of the mind’s eye.

There is a way to help the degeneration reverse to regeneration for the whole world, and beyond. For everyone who has ever been, is now, and ever will be. Your kingdom has come, and Your will is done every time our writings in spirit are read.

Peace will be granted to the multitudes. The shedding of the old misconceptions of life to the illuminating light of Your ever-presence. Ask for understanding; ask for the Lord’s holy presence.

Even so, the Lord is in you, as the Lord is in me. Our writings in spirit are communications, spirit to spirit, and a cooperation which renders the negative realm of abominations chained, and then discarded.

To leave behind the past and fill in the present with the presence of our dear Lord and Savior. In the Lord’s loving power and glory, to be center, all-knowing, all-powerful, almighty, sovereign.

Our most holy of holiest, in the presence of our ever-presence. In love for humankind, to come into each inner chamber, and come out without pain—with knowledge which You have given us roundabout.

I know I had a mission to complete in the spirit of the ever-presence of You, Lord. I never thought of my writings as a sacrifice; it was my time to pray, to praise, to thank, and to keep a piece of eternity on every page. Furthermore, I wrote with Spirit, not without.

I pray for the unveiling of our union in spirit to accomplish what it is meant to be accomplished: to bring peace into the heart and soul of mankind. Wake up! Smell the Spirit of truth in your ever-loving heart.

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
— Matthew 6:10 (KJV)

“I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”
— John 17:23 (KJV)

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
— Colossians 1:27 (KJV)

“Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.”
— 1 Chronicles 29:11 (KJV)

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

Daily Affirmations

I. Encircled by Grace: I rest securely in the arms of Christ, knowing His Holy Spirit is entirely below me, above me, and round about me at all times.

II. Regenerating Power: By entering the inner chamber of my heart, all personal pain is cast down and discarded, reversing worldly degeneration into divine renewal.

III. Union in Spirit: I boldly step into my sacred mission, using my published testimony to ground global peace and bring the word of God alive for the multitudes.

Reflection

Penned in the summer of 2008, this towering foundational entry serves as an open manifesto declaring the true co-authored nature of the entire In Presence of Spirit manuscript.

Explicitly clarifying the roles of Wendy as the mortal instrument and Christ Jesus as the divine voice, the text details an ultimate state of spiritual rest—cradled securely above, below, and on every side by the Savior’s form.

The piece functions as a high-authority blueprint for structural renewal, charting an intentional path to reverse human degeneration by chaining the negative realm of worldly abominations.

By framing decades of continuous writing not as an earthly sacrifice but as an ongoing prayer of active praise, this poignant declaration serves as an alarm clock for humanity

—urging the multitudes to step into their own inner chambers, lay down structural trauma, and claim the pristine, all-knowing light of a complete union in spirit.

How to Find Divine Light: One Heart to Heal

Dear Jesus Christ, I need You. I want You. Thank You for letting me write.

A beautiful landscape photograph taken at dusk showing a brilliant sunset with vibrant pink gold and blue clouds stretching across the sky.
Watching the evening sky catch fire with the vibrant, masterful brushstrokes of the Creator.

I have to have Your Spirit guide me out of darkness into the light all over again. Forgive me my trespasses, my sins, and my iniquities.

Thank You for giving me breath in the writings of “In Presence of Spirit”—the whole of it, the completion in this decade, this time around.

Thank You for Your presence in every writing, prayer, praise, verse, song, and poem. I appreciate every page of our book: the originals, the edited versions, and the almost complete manuscript that I have only read.

Thank You for letting me write “In Presence of Spirit” in its entirety. Even though You and I are the only ones who know what I captured in writing with and through You, Jesus, it is meant to be like this for Your and my purpose. For Your goal is my purpose, and my mission is Your purpose, now and forevermore.

I love You, Jesus Christ. I believe everything: the Resurrection to life eternal in You, through You, and round about the glory of You. Lord, I miss You. I need You. I need to hear Your guiding voice. Furthermore, I require You to grab me out of darkness into the light of Your ever-presence.

Open my heart again so I can complete what You have given me to share with anyone who requires the only friend in the spirit of Your ever-loving presence.

I loved Jesus—I did, and I do. Help me finish the task at hand. Please, Lord, I require help with this glaucoma. I suffered too many attacks, thinking they were “eye migraines.” We require a Glaucoma Foundation in every state. We require a multitude of things, but first and foremost, I require You back, Jesus.

Show me what You want me to do. Guide me to it. Hold fast; my love is poured out to you in this, “Our Writings, In Spirit of Your Ever Loving Presence.”

Omnipotent and omnipresent in exquisite conversations with the Lord. Thank You, Jesus, for the communication. I had a blast knowing You are in me and I am in You, and that You are the Author through me, from You. I love You, Jesus. Furthermore, I love You with one heart to heal.

Thank You for letting me write. I could not find any words. It weighed heavy on my total being. Jesus, in Your name, Lord, bring Your love down to a oneness of truth, which is only through You, Jesus Christ.

You gave me You in “In Presence of Spirit,” and it is obvious after all is said, written, and complete in this, the extended book—the whole of the entire writings of “In Presence of Spirit”—that You, my love and my life, are the Author through me, with me, beside me, round about me, in every way. Forgive me for forgetting.

Sometimes life is too hard, and the cycles keep repeating themselves, worse in every generation. Help us stop the cycle of the past and bring the future to today in time, place, and significant reason.

These writings are my future because they are my past. So I wish to start living today what I maintain will help the world with one heart to heal.

III. One Heart to Heal: I step completely out of generational cycles and look forward to the future, using the living gift of my testimony to anchor structural support and healing for a hurting world.

Reflection

Written in December 2008, this deeply intimate prayer functions as an internal sanctuary of gratitude, total surrender, and visionary advocacy.

Reflecting upon a vast digital archive and a complex writing trail, the author celebrates an enduring, hidden partnership with Jesus Christ, identifying Him as the true source of every inspired page.

The text handles personal physical adversity—the painful experience of severe glaucoma attacks mistaken for eye migraines—with striking transparency, transforming an individual physical challenge into a global mission to build foundational support networks for others.

By crying out to break repetitive generational downfalls, this piece positions the entire manuscript as a living portal designed to pull souls out of darkness, anchor a muddled past in the clarity of today, and proactively unite communities under the ultimate banner of global restoration.

How to Find a Safe Haven: I Know in My Heart

I know in my heart we are going to have a “Safe Haven for the transitional year”

A blue lake with a mountain in the background, partially obscured by a tree.
A steady gaze of hope peeking through the branches toward the still waters of life.

in every city where women are having their “last fight.” It has been going on for centuries. We are going to throw the abuse away and bring back the beautiful aspects of life for our sisters, families, and neighbors.

For centuries, women have been mistreated. Been there, done that—more than we know. Now we know we are not alone. Everyone in their way has prayed for a way out. I have been living lifetimes in a day—the cleansing of heart and soul.

No one got here by themselves! So we should share our recovery from the deterioration of what is most important for our families! Save the women, save the children, and stop the cycle of abuse.

We need to help regenerate our God-given rights. “Reach out and touch somebody’s hand; make this world a better place if we can.”

We can! Our way has been shown. Not for greed, but for compassion, understanding, and help in gaining knowledge.

The process is harder if you are on your own; by that time you are so hurt, you just do not have any fight left. I have been fortunate. In the first two and a half months, I went to sixty Al-Anon meetings.

When are we going to get up and use our knowledge for the multitudes, as Christ did and is doing through all the people who have been afflicted through misunderstanding?

January 21, 1996

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1 (KJV)

“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”
— Psalm 82:3-4 (KJV)

“Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.”
— Isaiah 1:17 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. A Safe Haven: I know in my heart that a divine sanctuary of safety and recovery is being prepared for every sister, family, and neighbor breaking free from the past.

II. The End of the Cycle: By the power of the Holy Spirit, the centuries-old cycle of abuse is cast down, making way for the return of life’s most beautiful aspects.

III. Shared Recovery: I am never truly alone in my path; I boldly reach out to lift others out of affliction, using my hard-earned knowledge to bring healing to the multitudes.

Reflection

Written in January 1996, this visionary and deeply compassionate piece serves as a passionate battle cry for global restoration, healing, and structural safety.

Looking directly at centuries of systemic mistreatment, the author transforms personal survival and recovery—including the practical steps of dedicated community meeting attendance—into a universal blueprint for a “Safe Haven”.

The text moves beyond a solitary journey, emphasizing that because healing cannot be achieved in isolation, it must be shared to actively shield families and break generational cycles of trauma.

By echoing a call to extend a helping hand, this poignant writing serves as an invitation for believers to move out of quiet affliction and use their gathered wisdom to establish places of true protection, compassion, and spiritual rebirth for the multitudes.

How to Stand Ready: It Will Be Accessible When Called Upon

It does matter how I read it. Will be accessible when called upon.

A landscape photograph from a traveler's journey showing a massive solid rock mountain rising behind an open field with a few trees clustered at the very top.
Finding steady hope and beautiful, steady hope along the journey.

Thanks for waking me up from my coma—not literally.

I knew I was going to be by water this winter. Oh, ye of little understanding. Grow in the Word, and you will be clarifying God’s most wonderful gift.

We hear, but we have to get ourselves ready. We have to project our spirits together for power. The enemy is all around us, waiting to take another piece. You need to cleanse; let us go, we have work to do.

Our families are affected, and they need us to grab them out of the fire and into the light.

January 30, 1996 It Does Not Matter

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
— Romans 13:11 (KJV)

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”
— Psalm 18:2 (KJV)

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”
— Isaiah 58:6 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Awakening: I am fully awake to God’s timing, moving directly into the light and clarity of His most wonderful gift.

II. Accessible Strength: The power and protection of the Holy Spirit are completely accessible to me whenever I am called upon.

III. Family Deliverance: Through intercession and faith, I boldly reach out to help grab my family out of generational fires and anchor them safely in Christ’s light.

Reflection

Written in January 1996, this urgent and profound entry captures a sudden, awakening shift in spiritual focus.

Describing an internal rescue from a deep, long-standing “coma,” the text underscores the vital importance of personal preparation and alignment with the Word.

It serves as an active battle cry for spiritual cleansing, noting that the opposing spiritual forces are always ready to claim another fragment of our lives if we remain asleep.

Ultimately, the writing establishes a serious responsibility for families, urging us to step beyond personal comfort and step into our authority to snatch loved ones from the destructive fires of worldly inheritance and carry them into the safety of everlasting light.

How to Find Soul Prosperity When You Feel Alone

How to Find Soul Prosperity When You Feel Alone

A wide winter landscape photo of a vast frozen lake with a massive, snow-capped mountain peak rising on the far side beneath heavy cloud cover.
Anchored in stillness: a lake resting at the base of life’s most massive, snow-covered peaks.

In all my years of putting up with afflictions, I would never have come to my ultimate conclusion. I am like a lost sheep that does not have anywhere to go. Furthermore, I am in a strange land of opportunities, but I feel all alone.

Please help me, Jesus, in Your blood spread all over this world, and let us take action. For the wages of sin have come to their conclusion, and why should the innocent suffer without cause? I wish not death on this man that has judged me, but peace to the Earth.

You have taught me immeasurable lessons, and You alone walked me through the fire. I have no fight left. Oh, Jesus, I am scared. Please bring the Comforter down and rest with me while I grow in knowledge, wisdom, communication, compassion, understanding, and patience.

Lord, You put many words in my vocabulary. I thank You. Lord, keep near our children; You are the only one they can trust.

Hear them, Lord, each time they speak, for I know their pain. Lord, I have to say this: God bless him and her for their lack of knowledge; justification will come in Your time, not mine.

The pain is here, but I lift, as best I can, my pain, for it hurts to wait so long over something I have no control over.

Lord, I know You have not forsaken me, but what must I do now? Where shall I go to rest? Who do I talk to? Who is it that should tell me where to stay next? I feel I have nothing left. Am I to blame for all this mess?

My father said, “You are not a messenger of God.” I say, “Everyone is a messenger of God. We all need to find God this generation, for it is up—not the end of time, but the beginning of eternity.”

Our lives are muddled in all the generational garbage that man and his ancestors have kept alive: greed, materialism, and wants, not needs. Everyone is affected.

I need to write to the afflicted; I am not alone. I have to fight for God’s truth, in God’s time.

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.” Thanks be to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

I have nowhere to hide. Show me Your Way. Show me through Your Eyes. Show me through Your Guidance.

Show me through Your Courage, understanding, wisdom, fortitude, acceptance, and patience. The Oneness of Eternity which You possess.

Bring Your Word Alive through me. Let me be diligent in receipt of Your Gift to me, and let’s together proclaim the prosperity of soul, life through Jesus Christ our Savior.

March 4, 1996

“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?”
— Luke 15:4 (KJV)

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.”

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
— Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Guided Steps: I am never a truly lost sheep, because Jesus Christ knows my exact location and is actively guiding my soul through this strange land.

II. Ultimate Comfort: I release my heavy fears and exhaustion to the Comforter, allowing His divine wisdom, patience, and fortitude to rest upon me while I grow.

III. A Messenger of Truth: I am a unique messenger of God’s eternal love, called to write comfort to the afflicted and bring His living Word alive through my testimony.

Reflection

Written in the early spring of 1996, this deeply transparent piece captures the profound vulnerability of feeling completely isolated in a transitional wilderness.

Standing at a crossroad of deep exhaustion and fear, the author models absolute surrender by turning away from human judgment and pouring out a raw prayer directly to Jesus Christ.

The text powerfully identifies the universal truth that everyone is called to be a messenger of divine grace, breaking free from muddled generational cycles of greed and materialism.

By crying out for the Comforter, this poignant message transforms an intense season of affliction into a training ground for spiritual growth, anchoring a broken heart in the ultimate realization that soul prosperity and rest belong entirely to Christ.

Finding Powerful Peace with No Cover Up For My Abused Self

“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and save such as be of a contrite spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (KJV)

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
— Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
— Acts 26:18 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Out of Darkness: By the power of Jesus Christ, I am lifted out of the heavy darkness of trauma and carried into a pure state of divine grace.

II. Redeemed Testimony: My past survival is not a curse, but a sacred gift meant to bring comfort, healing, and light to a suffering world.

III. The Dwelling of Peace: I open the inner chamber of my heart completely, trusting that the Holy Spirit has ignited an eternal light that no earthly pain can dim.

No Cover Up For My Abused Self

You know I have felt over the years that it is only in the Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father. Since I started writing the book at the beginning of 1996, I have wondered: Who am I to write what I have, and who in the world cares about what I have done?

But all the while, time and time again, it was my journey from the darkness of my soul to bring light back to my soul for the loss of my life and my love.

Through my writings, it lifts me out of darkness into a state of grace. Grace is given by Jesus Christ. I know my pain was buried; my pain was ugly, and my pain was right in my face. When I left, I was in shock.

I searched deep into myself through all the readings, all the prayers, all the crying and mourning, and through the things I put up with on the emotional roller coaster of the negative that had consumed our lives.

I had no cover-up for my abused self, from him or from me, for losing myself to the lie, because that is all it was. I once said, “If this was all a game, everyone lost.” Well, you know, the only thing we lost was the fight.

My straightforward being is a constant in these writings. It is only in the spirit of our dear Heavenly Father, who made my experience a gift and not a curse.

It is a gift to mankind for the remission of the world’s sins. In God, I live through Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit has ignited the light in my soul to induce the omnipresence of every prayer for humankind, opening up the kingdom of heaven within each one of us.

Oh please, who am I? No one, not even myself, picks me apart. The Lord, through me, gave me His Holy Spirit to perpetuate an ongoing dialogue with Him “In Presence of Spirit.” That is what is up.

All summed up for me, right? No! Not for a second. It is made “In Presence of Spirit” for His purpose, to stay with me until the end of time and forever. Now, this is the only forever, I can only imagine.

It was never a competition against or with the husband of my youth. Although it is obvious, I am not competing. I stayed unmarried, and he was married all but three months of those fourteen years.

Our kids are adults; his kids are in the first grade and kindergarten. Now he is staying, making it right. His little game caught up with him. Now that I know it was all his game, because he always competed with me for some strange reason—reasons that have now come to pass.

I survived every obstacle to complete for me, mine, and the Lord’s, “In Presence of Spirit” to be shared. It is a must of my desire and my quest.

I cannot in my mortality state it any different. I refuse to be embarrassed about my small part in this. To repeat: “But what oneself is to You, dear Lord.” He gave me my heart and my soul back “In Presence of Spirit—The Original Writing.”

I thought long and hard about that—the first piece of my heart that He gave me eyes to see so I could write it down “In Presence of Spirit.” And then closed they went. I was part of the negative inside me, not just my negative, but everyone’s. Take it any way you want it.

I have to see it through; no door has opened yet, so this is all or nothing. What do I have to lose? I guess I am the one who is going to open that door. Hey! What? The door has already been opened, and no one dared to come into Wendy’s “In Presence of Spirit.” When they do, I know I will feel better. I love it; He gave me meaning before, during, and after my misery.

In the presence of my misery, Jesus took my hand and guided me out of darkness into the light of His ever-presence. I have been a silent partner with Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Silent I must not be anymore; too many are suffering. Although I still do not speak what I wrote, if it is the Holy Spirit’s will for me to speak at that time, so be it, with one heart to heal.

Reflection

October 2008, this landmark foundational writing serves as a raw, unfiltered bridge between a devastating past and a divinely appointed future.

It marks the exact moment the writer completely sheds the painful weight of survival, choosing transparency over concealment and recognizing that a broken road can be turned into a holy instrument.

By viewing a season of severe personal trial not as a permanent curse but as an active spiritual gift, the text illustrates how personal survival transforms into a guiding light for others who are quietly suffering.

Walking hand-in-hand with Jesus out of the shock of trauma, this piece stands as an open gateway—inviting readers to leave behind human games, break their silence, and step directly into the healing, ever-present warmth of the Holy Spirit.

Daily Affirmations

I. Absolute Trust: I place my entire life, path, and purpose securely into the hands of Jesus Christ.

II. Divine Timing: I rest in the truth that God’s perfect timing is unfolding today, opening doors that no man can shut.

III. Fearless Sharing: The Holy Spirit grants me bold strength to share Christ’s overflowing love with a world in need of healing.

I Place The Matter In Your Hands

The name changed many times. The whole incredible trip from beyond the dead to life “in Christ” is so awesome that I have to share it, whether or not you are ready. It is finally ready to be let free.

Now is the time; then was not the time. I had a lot more writing to do. These are the last hours of the close of this, my testimony of Jesus Christ. I will read yours, whoever you might be.

Dear Jesus Christ, I am coming to You at the end of this journey with You in writing. I figure this is Your designated time for me to complete the scripts that are in the book.

As stated, I have to look past myself and give others what Jesus Christ has given me. For whoever will ever read this work, it is full of wordy expressions of love through the Spirit of the oneness of hope and faith. There is a better today for all concerned.

This is for everyone in Heart and Soul Revelation through Christ Jesus, who strengthens the congregation through you, in you, with you, and round about the glory of you, Jesus Christ, in Your World Awakening.

“I love You, Jesus Christ.” I miss You. I have to share You with the world in Your hands. Furthermore, I place the matter of fact in Your hands.

Crisis centers are full of people needing help right now; there is no time to wait. Forever and a day passes, and that day never comes if we wait.

Oh, I have waited so long for this day to finally come. It is at my gate. I know my boldness will peek through, and the doors will start swinging open. Oh Lord, have mercy on us.

Reflection

Written in late 2008, this poignant entry captures the raw emotional culmination of a lifelong writing journey.

Moving beyond personal hesitation, the author courageously steps into a calling to share an intimate testimony of Jesus Christ with a world facing immediate crisis.

The piece beautifully transitions from personal prayer into a corporate declaration for “World Awakening.”

It highlights the spiritual truth that ultimate peace is found only when we lift our burdens out of our own grip and boldly place them directly into our Savior’s hands, trusting that He will swing open the gates in His perfect time.

Open Your Heart to Understanding | Spirit Presence

“Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16 (KJV)

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

Dramatic dark storm clouds hanging over a brilliant orange sunset between mountains with a winding river below.
Finding the light of hope tucked between the darkest clouds and the heavy mountains of life.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Guidance: The Holy Spirit is my constant Guide, filling my heart with the peace and strength of Jesus Christ.

II. Complete Surrender: As I release my own will to Him, His pure love envelops and shelters me completely, bringing divine understanding and steadfast protection to my soul.

III. Renewed Strength: I walk by faith and not by sight, confident that the regenerating power of God cleanses all pain and anchors me in His perfect time.

Open Your Heart to Understanding

Read 2 Corinthians 5 in one sitting! You will be home soon. He will come, and you will have the strength to go on whichever road He chooses. Follow Him always. In your heart are all the answers of the universe, which will bring the peace you so desire.

The Holy Spirit is your Guide. The Lord is the Light. The Lord is the strength that makes the seed grow. The Lord is in you. Let the Passion of Christ encircle you completely. Give up your will and put it into the stretched-out arms that God, through Jesus Christ our Savior, is holding out for you.

Referring to Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest, I hope you have read some entries of the book I passed up to you. There is no holding back, so it is necessary to tell you that I have had it for a year. There are so many revelations in his writings; he guides you through the distinct reality in which we live with Christ, and the opposition of the cleansing and sanctification that follow after Salvation.

Complete purification comes through baptism and deliverance from sin and temptation. All falls into God’s place and time. The regenerating forces of God’s power cleanse you of all your pain, placing strength within you alongside knowledge and ultimate understanding.

It is a gift. “God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever should ever believe in His name,” in the faith of His glorious love for His chosen, will not die but have eternal, everlasting life. As written in the King James Version: “Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

The life in which we are living is full of man’s traits in succession of time. This constitutes the loss of one’s rightful place. Purification, through the pure love of Christ and the ultimate abandonment of one’s own will, is a path to which there is no other.

The love of Christ penetrates the smallest opening, even as tiny as a mustard seed. Once this occurs, His love envelops you. Although rough times are ahead, you are sheltered with and through the Lord.

Your protection is in Him, through Him, and round about Him. The Glory comes through with His magnificent power and glory, and you know you are loved through the faith you hold in our Lord Jesus Christ.

December 8, 1996

Reflection

This profound piece, written in the winter of 1996, calls for a deep and ultimate surrender to the presence of Christ.

By drawing inspiration from the timeless devotion of Oswald Chambers and the transforming truths of 2 Corinthians 5, it highlights the journey of shifting from the active mind to the quiet, receptive spaces of the heart.

The text captures the essence of true spiritual purification—allowing the tiny seed of Christ’s love to take root, break through human limitations, and expand into an all-encompassing shelter.

Even when the road ahead appears rough or uncertain, this message serves as a comforting reminder that complete protection, divine peace, and life eternal are found entirely within His extended, merciful arms.
