The Journal of A. Paige White 9/19/7 a van - OMG! and chased
09/19/2007 10:58 a.m.
Jarrod started his new job this morning. Had to leave at 4:30. He's working for a preacher from Smith County.
Heavenly Father, thank you for providing this job for him working for one of your ministers. Please bless them and give them your favor, your safety and let their work today be bathed in your grace. Cause them to seek excellence in all things today to bring you praise in their labor. Amen
I dreamed we got this almost new van, it was more like a bus. It seems like it was Chip with me, but I'm not sure. It was huge. The seats had been taken out and we were going south for something and we had this huge fridge in it stocked along with other things we would need. All our needs for the journey was in it. we had a highway patrolman going with us. He was a large muscular black guy. Reeking of the authority of his position even out of uniform. We plotted to have him do the driving in case we got pulled over for speeding, lol. Which he laughed about and said that was pretty typical. Somehow we wound up being at our destination and it was this huge area taken up with all these separate wooden foundations being built. A guy there was very insistent at getting me to take a closer look at them and he called them something. Two or three times. He showed me the development of some closest to me and some were complete but not finished, the surface was still rough. It was planks and though some were not great quality, the workers were very skilled at placing them just so to get these squares built. They were squares but they were assembled one half at a time. He showed me one in progress with one half finished and how they would bring the other half up to complete it. The ultimate goal was to join all these squares together for this huge platform. It was a massive undertaking. Massive. I caught sight of his vision for it when completed. It was going to be highly polished, with a glossy burnished deeply ravishing finish. You couldnt' look at where they were in it and see what it was ultimately going to be but this guy had the ability to give you the sight of it when done. Very interesting dream.
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok. My self esteem is not only back to normal, it's through the roof, lol. I'm still grinning. THAT was just unreal. between the first and last redlight in Magee this guy in a black impala lz started flirting with me. NICE car.Must be a 2007 or 2008. Louisiana tag ptz 456. Lord knows I had plenty of time to memorize it. I still can't believe that! He blew me kisses on two fingers and then put his pointer finger in his mouth and licked it. OH MY! I still can't get over that. I'll be grinning all day. He was cute too. He'd get in the passing lane and sit there right beside me. When I wouldn't look at him he'd speed up and slow down. Then he'd get in front of me and slow down forcing me to either hit my brakes or pass him again. I wasn't running late, but I knew I couldnt' afford to slow down. When I went to pass he'd speed back up and stay even with me.I couldn't help but grin even though I wouldn't look at him which I know was encouraging him to keep doing it. Couldn't help it. It was just what my totally deflated self esteem needed. At the first red light in Florence he was in the right lane and had lowered his window and was motioning to me. by this time, I'm still flattered but getting kinda concerned. There's real nuts in this ole world. After about 15 miles it had been reduced from, I can't believe this guy, to Ok, you need to GO ON now. I drove like a bat out of hades weaving in and out the traffic til I put lots of cars between us. -----------------------Lol, Lord, when I asked you last night to give me a big basket of goodies out of my room in heaven, roflol, I never in a million years dreamed you would come up with such an original way to boost my self image as a woman. Thank you. That was priceless! Extremely flattering too. He was cute.
LOL It was a good try, Lucy. But his hair had color and he didn't have a gray beard and I'm sure he didn't have the softest lips in this world and his name wasn't Chip... so... since God's seen fit to insist on purifying my relationships and removed even him... I just have little use for goldilocks of the three bears but he did make me laugh and still does.... ;-P~
"Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces. For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, 'Peace be within you.' Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good." Psalm 122:6-9
Let God arise!
Of course the kids had some suggestions for flirtatious commuters. Megan's first response was: I TOLD you! I told you to put that bumper sticker on your car! My son was inmate of the month at county jail. That cracked me up. She said next time it happens smash it into the window glass, look over with a smile and push my glasses up with the ole spirit finger. heheeee...
Jarrod of course offered his sawed off shotgun to lay on my dash and said he'd find me an NRA bumper sticker. Then he catalogued a list of likely weapons to adorn my dash with, topped off with either wearing criss crossed ammo belts over my shoulders or hanging them from the headrest.... He was about serious. That boy. He was ready to stomp some ... He love his mama. Got him a bit upsot.

I do not know what tomorrow will hold. Ignorant, cell-f centered boys, she's going to quit. Because he ran his mouth. sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. She did up the two week resignation and the I'LL JUST GO HOME RIGHT NOW, TODAY, resignation. She's leaning toward the today. I'm so selfish. I hope we get two weeks to at least find somebody to answer the phone. OMG... Dearest Lord, I know it is not your plan to run me absolutely crazy. Funny thing. I still have the greatest peace about it all. Even if it does GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. I absolutely don't blame her though. If I was all I had to take care of and had as few bills as she does I'd have done it, too. The last person to attempt to counsel her that she would have received would have been him. It's a miracle she's stayed this long. Because of me and Katherine mainly. No. I don't blame her. But I sure am going to miss her. If they stick me back to doing both jobs again, I will be campaigning for a raise.
It was a peaceful evening even with this hanging over my head. Thank you Jesus

"Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you" (Isaiah 35:4).
Beloved Heavenly Father,
I come before your throne of grace in petition for this nation. As I study their history, my attention is riveted to their isolation and oppression by first one and then another prevailing power. The populous is so very poor! I was shaken by the realization that each household lives on less than 3000.00 a year. Father, I ask you, who joins and knits all things together through the glorious powers and government of your Son to pour out specific graces of unity and expansion. Father, I know this is only accomplished as your Spirit is not quenched and grieved. You, oh God, are the final authority in all the affairs of man and I ask you to extend your rule to overcome the manmade mandates that pander to the rich who subjugate the poor. Father, look upon the poor and needy of this nation to bless with heavenly riches, the riches that are eternal and pour out upon them great grace. Send the divisions of your Host that you have prepared and are awaiting the sincere prayers of your people to release them to accomplish this in the earth for this nation. I ask again that your expose every deceitful and lying spirit's operation, interrupt in glorious ways their ongoing plans to oppress, and apprehend them at the petitions of the saints of this area. Strengthen your family in this region, unify by a mighty outpouring of your spirit in dreams and visions accompanied by signs and wonders pointing always to the glorious reign of your Son. I ask oh God, that you use the hammer of your gospel in accordance to the faith you have assigned the believers there to crush every opposing stronghold in this nation. I claim and decree Isaiah 35:4 by the leading of your Spirit in this prayer at this time. Though it is not as I would have desired in my natural mind to pray for a people, I know and recognize that no prayer unless directed by the mind of your spirit will be fulfilled and is useless and a waste of time and air. With these reminders and injunctions against any fleshly desires I steadfastly agree with your plans and what you have purposed. I pray the mightiest strength of angelic protections and for the personal communications by your Holy Spirit for your elect as you carry out your plans. Multiply! Multiply! Multiply! Intervene in every election, appoint and establish every leader with a heart that holds the potential to come to worship the government of the One True God. I specifically ask you to intensely scrutinize the hearts of the judges in their justice system since they do not have jury trials and ask you to remove the corrupt in a fearsome manner after a window allowed for repentance but if they will remain joined to the spirits of iniquity and inequity deal with those spirits in an unbending manner and those who refuse to yield to you and replace them with judges that have hearts that are tender to the people but firm in their stance of TRUE justice. Even as your spirit dealt with Ananias and Saphira who gave themselves over to a spirit of falsehood, let all falsehood be dealt with but Lord send opportunities of mercy and messengers with great faith to open eyes to the angels who stand ready to strike down the unbelieving who refuse to repent and allow themselves to be used as tools of the demonic. Father God, I ask you to send more hearts that are sensitive to the speaking of your Holy Spirit to come into agreement with me that your scripture that establishes where "One will send a thousand to flight and two will send ten thousand" to accomplish the impossible. For you nothing is impossible. You are the God who invades the impossible and bends it to your own will. I cry out for you to accomplish all that is in your heart to do for these people and in the name of Yeshua I believe it done. Amen

Heavenly Father,
I lift this nation before you. I ask you to send your gentle winds to blow the veils according to the vision you gave me for this nation. Let all veils of darkness become light and let them dance in your winds. Let the dance of true worship flow from this people. Cause beautiful expressions of adoring hearts to flourish here. Let art and culture be loosed from fear within and without to bless your heart and that even angels would be astonished at the glorious beauty you have purposed to express from this region. In the name of your beloved Son I pray, Amen

1 Afghanistan
09/14/2007 12:39 a.m.
Dear Heavenly Father,
It is with great joy and excitement I come before your everlasting throne to bring the petitions your heart has longed to hear from sincere hearts. In my heart and body I am overwhelmed at the love you have poured out on us in the person of Yeshua, your spendorous Son. I bless Him. I am overwhelmed at amazement that the union of love from Father to Son and Son to Father is the Holy Spirit. I ask you, Holy Spirit to move on my mind as well as my heart and take control, I yield my thoughts to your thoughts, my will to your will in this prayer for the nation of Afghanistan and for the peoples created in your image.
First I ask you to assuredly send great protectors for the men and women who have led the way, the authority you have established for such a time as this. I say that no weapon formed against them shall prosper in any attack the enemy would launch to sway them, or move them, or cause them to stand down in any manner from the high calling you have set before them. I believe your word for it is eternally established and will never fail one jot or tittle. Your word says when the enemy comes in like a flood, you will raise a standard. I claim this for Chuck Pierce's ministry. I claim in this ministry you have established for this hour, that when the enemy comes against them from one direction you will send them fleeing seven ways.
Father, for the nation of afghanistan I pray your peace and that the Prince of your Peace, Jesus, will be welcomed into hearts that were formerly hostile. I cry out for you Father, to bring to your son through the marvelous power and giftings of the Holy Spirit the full reward for the travail of His soul. I agree with my sister's decree that you are disarming the powers of darkness that allows unrighteousness to hide. Let every hidden work of the enemy that has invaded hearts and bodies and minds in the nation of Afghanistan to be exposed. We come into agreement that you, by your own hand and supernatural means will expose, interrupt and apprehend every evil thing that hinders your movement to release multiplication, acceleration and the favor of your grace on the peoples in this nation. Lord, take pity! For generations the people of this region have gone through life and into death under the dominion of the prince of that region. Break this prince in pieces. Send your mighty angels that excel in strength to push back the darkness that the love that lasts eternally be spread like wildfire. I decree that unbelief will perish in the face of the moves of your Spirit sending dreams and visions of the reign of your Holy Son and it is in his name I claim victory. Please pour out your most tender and precious annointings for the women in this nation. Where they have been held in dishonor, please lift them up, tenderly lift their chins and look into their eyes. annoint them with precious and fragrant oils of honor and show them how precious and cherished they are in your sight. For every injustice please bless them with the eternal reign of your humble Son in their land that they and their husbands and children would prosper. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

A feather of my own
09/05/2007 04:24 p.m.
As I was standing outside this morning, meditating and thinking about all this with jarrod. I had just had the thought to pray blessings on Billy Ray for stepping in as a father figure for Jarrod, by paying for his car insurance and believing in Jarrod enough to do that. As I was turning and had started "Heavenly Father" to pray what I'd just thought to do, there it was stuck on the tip of the hedge bush right in front of me; perfectly. Stopped my prayer in that instant. The scripture, "Before they call, I will answer them" was my first coherent thought as I plucked this treasure from the bush. Thank you Father. Please multiply Billy Ray's, Tony Puckett's, Bobby's and Nathan's blessing times seven. I will be quick to praise your faithful answers as soon as the reports come in. In the beloved name of your precious Son, Amen.

He's different

9/4/7
He brought me his bible verse list and the name of the church whose pastor was the only one that came to visit the prisoners in jail and brought bibles to give out. LOL... it would be a baptist church. Jarrod got one and has been reading it voraciously. His whole demeanor is different. He's gone now to take a couple of rolls of toilet paper, bar of soap and a couple of jr bacon cheese burgers to Bobby, the trustee that has no one.The new socks and underwear I sent him that he didn't use he gave to the guys still in there that had none and no one to bring them any. Wow. I have a feeling Jarrod's going to be going into some type of prison ministry. Just through three traffic tickets. The officer that came and got him really worked hard to get him out of jail. They dropped the charges for no tag and reckless driving, no insurance if he could give the judge proof of insurance today. It was going to be a mandatory 6 month jail term for the contempt of court. Billy Ray paid almost $400 to get him liability insurance. It was a one day window.
10 days in jail sure made an impression on this 18 year old. He was standing in the kitchen and spread his arms wide saying, wow, this space seems so big. Lol, I walked into the living room once to find him and Kim trying to suck each other's faces off. Yuck. It was fun picking at them.
Thank you Lord, for working in all our lives through this and help me to be a good mama, leading him right by example, reading your word and praying with him daily. Forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness so that I can hear your voice plainly in how to help him be the man you want him to be. My heart is singing for joy at your goodness.
Thank you.
On an upbeat note, we three women folks are having a hairy leg competition. The one that rips the sheets with them first....
wins!

hey baby, wanna go for a ride?
09/04/2007 09:05 p.m.
Wheeling up in the parking lot
yeah baby!
even better, would you fly me away in your big jet plane? I'm thinking
How's it going?
ok...
just wondering since you're all dressed in black...
every day, bill, everyday...What are YOU doing?
Glenda thinks I'm working.
laughing I won't tell her. It will be our secret.
Sure do miss her. Sure do miss them.
He gave me an internal and external smile though and for that I'm so grateful.
Reflections
Going back a little through some of my poetry, it dawned on me just how much we argue. It actually stunned me. As I think back to the last three times we've argued, it seems he's jumping on little silly things, molehills and blowing them into mountains. More frequently. Less of a molehill, more of a mountain. A forward about reconciliation Saturday and nothing since. Nothing. Nothing personal then. Waiting on me again, to apologize. And of course, I did. Like I wound up doing for not snuggling in my sleep. I should have realized... if that would cause days of no communication, how much more would a misworded email? a presumptuous email? When the few communications we've had have been very disjointed, I got little from them in the way of understanding ANYTHING, how was I not to?Top it off with Jarrod going to jail and I get this awful cold/flu bug....I am being expected to be superwoman. I am expected to handle all the pressures I face in my life and comfort him in his without knowing what's going on that's got him so supersensitive. that's it in a nutshell.
How am I supposed to do this?
how?
I can't live up to it anyway. no can do. even on a good day. A day without flu.
Well, I read through the book of Hebrews up to Chapter 11 and after watching Bob's video today, I will just put all these concerns back in God's hands and finish it off , then I've got to go read that about Elijah...I knew Moses wasn't allowed to enter the promised land. I don't guess I've ever read that about Elijah! I never thought about how wonderful it was of God/Jesus to invite them to His mount of transfiguration after He'd had to stop them from entering into certain promises before their death but gave them great honor there. Fascinating stuff. What a gracious God He is!
