The Royal Wedding Wills and Kate

What a lovely day and a lovely couple.... Never been a 'royalist' as such, yet I felt such happiness for Wills today: that after the tragedy of losing such a beautifully devoted mum, he has found a treasure of a wife - that to me was the real fairytale today.

Lord Bless their union and may they know who you are more and more each day - spirit soul and body

David Wilkerson goes to Glory!


May 19th 1931 - April 27th 2011


Last night my husband came home from church to let me know that he had heard David Wilkerson had been killed in a car accident in Texas. Many will know him as the guys who wrote his testimony through the book The Cross and the Switchblade and the pastor of Time Square Church, New York where the ministry of Teen Challenge was birthed and of which he was the founder.

I never really followed this guys ministry but something that has stayed with me is that I remember hearing that he called his church to a time of praying and fasting to pray for New York two weeks prior to 911. Who knows what the outcome would have been had he not called that fast.

My husband said last night; He was a true prophet

May God bless his family at this time and the church and ministry who will need goldy wisdom in how to proceed. For more information of his life and testimony  CLICK HERE , also CBN News Video Report  CLICK HERE

I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me

The young people at church danced to this song Easter Sunday. The first time I heard them practice I began to gently weep as I sneaked off to do my janitor duties. The words and music touched my heart so deeply, and yes I can only imagine what it will be like on THAT day in Glory forever, and ever amen.

Calling God's 911 : Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda via The Elijah List

When I read the word below a few hours ago my heart leaped with JOY. For a few weeks I have been praying Psalm 91 over the Pacific Northwest region/West Coast of USA, our family, our church family and friends. I even left the bible open in the sanctuary on Psalm 91. It is key reading for any of life's troubles and brings supernatural peace!

Apr 22, 2011 Calling God's 911 : Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made Heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

When there's an emergency, who do you call? In America, you simply dial 911 and emergency services will be dispatched to your aid. But what do you do about the dangers that calling 911 can't help? We've experienced several in just the beginning of this year – from earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear disasters to economic and political shaking across the globe. The whole earth is groaning, many different voices are predicting disasters, and the atmosphere of panic and fear is trying to settle as we watch the world around us seem to melt like wax.

But did you know that God has His own 911?

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

Goodbye Grete Waitz - !

Yesterday the world of athletics said 'goodbye to a legend'! Today my running coach text me from the UK to tell me that Grete Waitz had died. She was to me a phenomenal athlete and really opened up the way for female endurance athletes. In my early days I used to have her picture that my coach took of her at a race, framed on my sideboard. I still have it framed up! Often my coach would call me 'Grete' when I would get frustrated about my training, to reinvigorate my enthusiasm to pursue my dream of running in the World Cross Country Championships for Britain. She was such an inspiration to run the race I was then chasing!

It is amazing that she died yesterday on 19th April 2011. Two days after of the Annual London City Marathon, a race she twice won, and also set her marathon personal best (PB) there - 2hours :24mins:54 sec- London - 20th April 1986. To read more of here achievements CLICK HERE

As my coach said ; What a beautiful Lady

Joan of Arc - The Messenger Vision - 2003

On Thursday 20th February 2003 my friend came over to pray with me. She brought with her some teaching tapes for me to listen too. She said I must pray with you tonight. She arrived at 10.30pm as she wanted to pray that night but was busy before hand. I could tell she was on a mission; its me who is usually up all hours and this was one of the reasons she came to speak to me 'time to get a grip and get my routine and life back in order etc' as only close friends can tell us determined types! She left at 3am.
We talked for a while and then decided to bring our thoughts to the Lord. As  I opened and asked the Lord to open our ears eyes and heart to what the Holy Spirit was saying...She eventually interjected: since you began to pray Ive been having a vision. I asked her to tell me what she could see..I could see nothing on this night. She talked me through it and was so excited giving as much detail as possible.
We have prayed together for a few years now and she too has been shown much through the story of Cinderella the bride who was raised from rags to a glorious bride. We both feel this story has a parallel to our own life too as well as the true Bride of Christ. So when she got to the darkness in the vision, she would not tell me all she was seeing in fact i could tell by her whole countenance she was disturbed.

She was thinking initially it was more revelation of the fulfillment of the promise God has given me for my personal life because it was on the Cinderella theme again (as she came to pray for me personally) she began to seem disturbed at what the Spirit was showing her. She asked the Lord show me something else: Please Lord, Please Lord. but nothing else came. She didn't want to shut her eyes anymore because all she could see was the same thing 'what she calls darkness'

When she told me she could see a white horse I began to picture a banner we have in our church of a white horse rearing on its back legs faithful and true (Rev 19)..this banner too is just of the horse the rider is not seated on it. I first began to read Revelations 6 first and as I got to the part about the martyrs under the throne I began to weep.

When I had finished reading I said you could see death couldn't you...she said yes but the princess was gone before the death came in. I will write below her own words, there is a part that i will add in brackets because she shared this as she relayed the vision but didn't write this on the note.

What Religion has done

This morning I woke to read this article Elijah List -  The exerpt below so resonates with me

'What religion has done is imprisoned inspiration and freed misery; isolated hope and released fear; isolated risky faith and released cautious and calculating methods to avoid embarrassment. When Jesus instructed His disciples to launch out into the deep for a catch they said, "Nevertheless, at Your word we will do it." Risky steps of faith greatly outweigh comfortable strides of cautious activity. WHY ARE WE SO AFRAID OF DANGER? Our finest hours exist in the presence of evil occupation.'

Sing My Love (song by Kim Walker)

I love to sneak my Daddy's Mate

This morning while my daddy was taking a shower my mum caught me - what was I doing? Sneaking some of my daddy's mate. They drink this green tea alot in Argentina. My mum and sisters thinks it tastes like cigarettes smell - gross. Me and my dad think differently! My mum is hoping I don't have a caffeine fix going on now, as she is not sure how much I drank altogether!

my angelic -busted face!

'Oh well I just as well keep drinking now!'
'How much caffeine does  a 2 year old need?'

Every Daddy Deserves A Birthday Rainbow Cake!

Yesterday my daddy had a birthday. So I decided to make him a rainbow cake. I always like to colour elephants, cars, pictures practically anything in rainbow colours, so my next project was THE Rainbow Cake. My mum was amazed it came out looking anything like a rainbow - Im wondering if I have finally got her hooked on baking - I doubt it - needs must I suppose - my dad is the baker.

One Rainbow Cake - to go! 

Can I blow out the candle on more time!

"Divine Justice Will Be a Key to Empower God's People!" Paul Keith Davis

Today I found this article that I have saved since 2004. In 2003 the Holy Spirit spoke to a friend and I during our 'quiet time' through a series of Visions, Gods Word and a DVD about Joan of Arc. The MESSENGER - DVD had a great impact on our lives. Much of what we saw in the DVD was what my friend saw in an open vision just a few days before I purchased it.  The night of the vision I was quite fearful but also in awe. We did not know at that time the vision specifically referred to Joan of Arc as a theme or connection. So to have already written down and the vision and to have been talking about the things in the spirit, that were now playing on the DVD before my eyes was a serious wake up call. (at the time I purchased this DVD I was not one to watch violent movies but as I was about to pray for France I bought the DVD to see what Joan of Arc story was all about - be warned some scenes are disturbingly violent)




We were asking the Holy Spirit to speak; during these times we would not speak just open in prayer and wait on the Lord. We would just wait and listen. I remember that night so clearly. We will post the vision in another post as I just felt to post the article below today.

Pray for Jerusalem

This morning my 5 year old daughter commented to her dad as he woke; 'Did you know a lady was killed in Jerusalem as they put a bomb there and 30 people were also hurt. Dad said 'well we can pray for them.' Her reply; 'we did that already and last night we prayed from Egypt because they haven't got much freedom.'


These questions began 23rd March when my daughter was near the computer watching me read the news. She wanted to get on there to play some games. She is 5 years old but an early reader and was able to read the news about the bombing. At first I tried to quickly change the page, but she insisted she was reading that page and asked 'what does it mean there a bomb in a bus station?'

I did my best to explain some basic things, but felt tentative  to make sure I didn't tell her too much or too little now her interest was keen. She is very literal so I needed to be careful.

To explain I simply said 'sometimes instead of talking about things and praying for change, people use guns and bombs and fight to change things. So this is what happened here.' She instantly thought that was 'silly' and that we pray for them. I was so excited at her response!

She suggested we pray first for the dead lady and the 30 wounded people, so in her prayer she asked that 'Jesus made the woman alive again, and helped the people who were hurt to get better quickly.'

It was interesting today to discover that the lady (Mary Gardener) who was killed in the bombing, was actually a christian believer and a Wycliffe bible translator who lived in Togo in West Africa. She was in Jerusalem to study Hebrew in order to translate the New Testament into the Togo language-(see link Guardian.co.uk ). That is the amazing thing, we also prayed for the family of the lady who died (my input) that they would know Jesus peace. It is now 2nd April and she is still very insistent we must pray for Jerusalem.
