for the past few weeks i have been overwhelmed with such awesome blessings and miraculous answers to long time prayer right in the very midst of overwhelming challenges and obvious typical efforts of sabotage, discouragement and threats from "you know who".. and those who choose to be used by...
culminating during yesterdays successful new years day talent show, in absolutely purrfect beautiful beach weather, that i will have to share details regarding in a future message
so i am inspired to seek your valuable prayers for the ability to remember and "chronicle" each testimonial incident as i recieve the energy and time management that i'm praying for regarding my new years resolution to abolish the termonology ...
" i dont have enough time "
i finally realize the ridiculousness of allowing myself to experience feelings of overwhelming anxiousness, worry.. and lack of peace and contentment
because God wouldnt place upon our hearts anything that would exceed the time and resources He allows and provides for each one of us to complete His Will for each specific moment and purpose
such as this morning, even tho i gratefully expected to exprerience the previledge of sleeping in ? after last night being exhausted from my annual new years day talent show activities... i unexpectedly woke up early with an urge to pray for a blessed new year for each staff member of our church
http://rockharbor.org/aboutus/staff.asp
it must have been affiliated with my all night prayers inbetween dreaming of how i could possibly ever bless the " annonymous church members " who generously arranged a porch full of surprise Christmas gifts for our family including a $400 Target.Com gift certificate, resulting in our annual family/community talent show event in balboa village (http://ats.menagerieentertainment.com/calendar.html) being blessed with a video / photo camera and enough mini dv tapes and cards to film and photo all of the performances and a dvd recorder to provide each participating artist with a dvd ...and valuable footage for my upcoming tv commercial for support of local arts, in pre production
( a few days prior to recieving this gift, i was in tears, as usual when reflecting on how many of my own children's performances and sentimental life activities i have not been able to capture on film since i had to sell all of my multimedia studio and photography equiptment in order to survive during the past 11 years of finanacial struggles)
AND
that same "annonymous gift" included a certificate to BJsBrewhouse.com
which also "just so happens" to be home of my favorite garlic jalepeno spinach artichoke alfredo pizza that i havent been able to afford to splurge on such a culinary experience for 11 yrs
AND BJs is located only a couple of doors away from the new years day talent show gazebo stage, so was conveniently utilized to bless not only our family but also all of the performers, their families and assistants to an evening of inspirational and "enriching" memorable association afterwards
when the bill arrived i was short of the well deserved tip that i wanted to leave our waiter austin
(who just so happened to be a performer since childhood in need of assistance..imagaine that ?...lol... )
so i remembered someone had handed me a donation in appreciation of the talent show ... and when i took it out of my pocket it was exactly the amount i needed )
what an awesome new year beginning !!!
and speaking of new beginnings, my website MenagerieEntertainment.Com
that i have owned since 1998 has been kidnapped and is now up for sale/ ransom
resulting in a new and improved more media friendly MenagerieEntertainment.TV, where my long time sponsor, cdbaby.com/ hostbaby.com has provided EASY templates to update by myself with no longer having to rely on the possible spare time of a volunteer webdesigner,
which will also allow me to be more faithful with consistant journals that will be more easily viewable on the homepage

PS
literally a few days before we recieved the "annonymous" gifts left on our porch,
during our recent visit at knotts berry farm which was also an appreciated gift from friends, our 11 yr old eviana was devestated after losing a little black vintage purse that we found together at a thrift store during one of our "date night" treasure hunts ...
but ...included in the gifts from church, was another one almost EXACTLY the same
and clothes that EXACTLY fit everyone ( sizes, styles and colors )
