I mostly live a quiet and peaceful life with my husband and life partner of 40-plus years, Lewis Kelley, on our 15-acre farm.  I am a mother of three grown children and the grandmother of three beautiful grandchildren.  I am a retired teacher-educator, and currently a part-time farm-hobbyist and business owner.  I enjoy spending time with God, gardening, caring for my two dogs, and tending to my 20-plus chickens. Most days, you may find me either in the garden or in the kitchen. Often, you can find me working alongside my husband, taking on a DIY home or farm makeover project. Our latest projects were replacing our collapsing deck and reorganizing our garage. The picture is a rare opportunity we had to escape the farm for a week-long trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in the cold month of January. The most excitement we have in our lives has been our dog Count.  I have tried to chronicle his adventures on my farm website blog, if you care to take a look.  He has been a handful, with the many things he has gotten himself into. I do need to update his escapades with several more incidents. SMH! h ttps://www.anishafarms.com/post/adventures-with-count-the-porcupine-en-count-er

Father you are a righteous and just God. Righteousness is founded and established in you. There is no justice or right standing apart from you. You are a sovereign God, revealed before the ages. Your reign existed before any, your Kingdom before all kingdoms. Nothing is created without you. You and only you are the standard and foundation of all things. Wisdom is formed from your beginning, and all knowledge flows only from you. Master and Maker of all the Universe, Heavens, and Earth, you are incomparable. Who am I that you see me? Who am I that you formed me? Who am I that you would fashion me in my mother’s womb and breathe life into me?   Who am I? Although I suffer for a little while, I deserve only never to have been born, but only to return to the dust, Never to have been known. Who am I, that you care for me so? What love you have for me, what care you have given, though I deserve none of it. You are a majestic and mighty God, and I, just a speck in your universe. Your love is overwhelming me; it transcends my understanding. Your love creates a new heart within me, a right spirit.

** Note: I did not write down the day or time of this dream, but it was memorable, and I knew in my spirit it was from the Lord. In the dream, I was driving my truck at night down a dark dirt road, and I was going at normal speed. Suddenly, I turned right at a fork in the road, which was unfamiliar. And I said to myself, Oh no, I did not want to go this way. I made a mistake. Why did I turn this way? Realizing I had taken a wrong turn, I tried to stop the truck by hitting the brakes.  I intended to back up and get back on the main road.  However, the truck would not stop. The brake pedal was malfunctioning. The truck continued to roll forward at the same speed I was traveling before I veered off the main road.  I could not see anything else but blackness beyond the car lights. I then began to panic a bit, but was not afraid.  Suddenly, the truck's lights exposed what was just ahead: it was a cliff.  I had made a wrong turn, headed straight for a cliff.  I thought I did not see any road signs, and if a cliff was there, why were there not any concrete barriers in place? In a flash, I realized that I was destined to fall over this cliff.  The truck continued to move forward, and I continued to hit the pedal.  At this point, I thought I should be going over this cliff in a second, and sure enough, I felt the front of the truck rolling over and begin to descend straight down. I was not afraid but thought I should at least be seeing my life flash in front of me, because surely, I was headed to my death.   I braced myself for some type of impact.  Shouldn’t I have felt the feeling of falling, but I did not? I waited, thinking, shouldn’t I be hitting the ground soon?  I suddenly realized I was only halfway over the cliff. I felt as if I was floating, not falling.  Then I felt the presence of my Lord Jesus. At that point, knowing he was with me the whole time. He caught the truck as it fell and prevented it from dropping completely over the cliff.  I woke up, and the dream ended.    The word of the Lord came to me as I went about my usual day’s activities. The Lord was reassuring me that it was ok to move forward with what I thought I was hearing from him. In my quiet time, I had been praying and asking him about hearing his voice. “Did I really hear his voice?”  My faith was weak; was I really hearing his voice?  I had been asking Him about this for a while.  The Lord told me I did not have confidence in what I heard. That I need not be afraid to move forward with what I thought I was hearing. When I take a turn that was not in his will or sinned, he would be there to catch me and get me back on the right road, his path, his will.     Father's Notes: The more time I spend with the Lord, the clearer his voice is I am being taught to wait on him, hear him, and obey him. Bottom line…. don’t worry about taking a wrong turn. When time with my Lord is FIRST…He then becomes the driver, not me. AMEN! As I wrote out this dream, the Lord revealed some truths regarding the truck lights and the darkness. We walk by faith, not by sight.  We only see what the Light (Jesus by the Holy Spirit) reveals to us—not necessarily seeing the whole picture. We cannot see into the darkness unless we reflect the light. We cannot reflect the light unless we abide in the light or connect to the light source, which is Jesus.   Please take this to the Lord for confirmation and a deeper understanding for yourself.   Scriptures:  Is 30:21   For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7   who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:5   'since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 'Romans 3:30   My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27   Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it. Isaiah 30:21 Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. Luke 3:5 NIV

God's Refining Fire Abba, King of the Universe, Maker of All. every creature great and small I bow the knee and throw down my crown. expose my heart, break up this fallow ground Set me on the altar, the altar of fire Burn all chaff, dross, and ire Heal this brokenness and crudeness of sin; revealing the person you created within Remove all pretense, posturing, and pose. ridding me of stumbling-blocks which impose Humble me so that I may sup; At the table you prepared, fill my cup. ******   Smelting is a process that extracts a pure metal from its ore by heating it with other materials in a furnace (The Refiner's Fire)   Purifying Gold (Purifying our Hearts) b egins by first crushing ore (carnal man): The raw  material is an unsaved carnal human being.  Our hearts begin to be crushed (disappointed) by the things of the world, life, decisions we make, circumstances, and life pressures. God uses our circumstances, decisions, and people to humble us, to guide us, and lead us to him. Only if we have ears to hear and eyes to see can we understand this. Melting the mixture with fluxes: Trials, temptations, hardships produce one of two states of being. A surrendered heart toward God, or a hardened heart toward God. Applying chemicals or electricity to achieve high purity. If we choose the Lord, our Savior, to save us from our sinful state of being. If we choose to rely on him to keep us from our path of sin and death. The Holy Spirit is gifted to us by our Father in Heaven and will further refine us to a higher, purer quality of gold. The Holy Spirit will guide us and instruct us in righteousness, keeping us in right standing with God. We can then walk the narrow path of righteousness, which leads to heaven, resulting in our redemption through Christ Jesus.   ~~~~~~~ Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV   My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. James 1:2-3 NKJV   “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” James 1:13-15 NKJV   “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” ames 1:14-15 NKJV   “who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” Titus 2:14 NKJV   “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5:3-4 NKJV   “Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Hebrews 2:18 NIV

Psalm 91:4 Lord, you are my hiding place, beneath your wings my resting space Trouble rears its ugly head in your arms I do not dread Your presence I need each day, as this world beckons me away My spirit yearns and calls on your name; you are my hope in your love I remain Renew my heart and spirit, sustain and dwell within Lord, you are my hiding place, my constant and forever friend.~amk   ~~~~~~~   Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father, I have made known to you. John 15:13,15 NIV   You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Psalms 32:7 NIV   My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning, my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.  Isaiah 26:9 NIV   He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalms 91:4 NIV   The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, ‘Destroy them!’ Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV

Repentance: “ is a change of heart, mind, and actions, involving both acknowledging wrongdoings and committing to a better path, often in the context of religion and spirituality. It goes beyond simply feeling sorry and includes a willingness to change one's behavior and turn away from past sins or mistakes.” ~google search ~~~~~~~ Repentance leads to fellowship with me Repentance leads to spiritual fruit bearing Repentance leads to spiritual growth and maturity Repentance is a catalyst to your spiritual transformation Transformation leads to every gift of the spirit. One must have a humble and contrite heart before me. Without repentance, you will be cut down because you will bear no fruit. ~ Yeshua ~~~~~~~ Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.  Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”  Then he told this parable: “A man (God Our Father) had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So, he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!  Why should it use up the soil?’ “ ‘Sir,’ the man  (Jesus) replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down . Luke 13:1-9 NIV   “ And they went out and preached that men should repent .” Mark 6:12 JUB “Remember, therefore, from where thou art fallen and repent and do the first works, or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy lampstand out of its place, except thou repent.”   Revelation 2:5 JUB. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ”  Matthew 3:1-2 JUB And unto the angel of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of the Laodiceans write; Behold, he who saith, Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined in the fire, that thou may be made rich; and clothed in white raiment, so that the shame of thy nakedness not be uncovered; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou may see.   As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous therefore, and repent.  Behold, I stand at the door and call; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with my Father in his throne.  He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the congregations. {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}”. Revelation 3:14-22 JUB In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.””  Acts 17:30-31 NIV I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”  Matthew 3:11 NIV “By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see. “Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,  and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’ ”  Acts 3:16-20, 23 NIV Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. Matthew 4:13-17 NIV “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,  that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” Acts 3:19 NIV “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well . Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  Matthew 6:31-34 NIV

Woe unto those who try to hide their sin, but know not that He sees all. And whose lips lie every time they open. Woe to those who set a snare for the innocent, and rob from their neighbor, and steal the wages of the workers. Woe to the money-glutens, who have no compassion or mercy, but build up and store grain that the moths will eat. Woe to the self-righteous who uphold and prop up evil so the vile and deplorable secure themselves top seats in your nations. Woe to you who support, raise up, worship, and idolize men who disdain justice, righteousness, mercy, and compassion. Woe to you who call yourselves servants of the Most High God, and lead many astray by your warped doctrine of self-worship, self-righteousness, and self- godliness. Woe to you shepherds who feed yourselves, who believe they are building the kingdom of God, by teaching doctrines of men. Twisting truths about Me, (Yeshua Ha Mashiach), and turning them into lies. You are, Laodicea. Woe, Woe, Woe to you, for judgment will come to your house before any other, you will be spewed from my mouth .

My ways are not your ways, My thoughts are higher than your thoughts I alone am able to perceive the heart of man Be still and know that I am God. Lean not on your own understanding, your schooling, your limited human perspective But draw your wisdom from Me. True understanding comes only from your closeness and dependence upon Me. True freedom and peace come in letting go of what you perceive you have control of. What you control is a false security, for you know nothing apart from Me Seek first My Kingdom and rightness, and all your needs will be supplied according to My riches and Glory. You cannot add a single hour to your day by putting your thoughts and mind to the task. But think on this, I am able to add the hour to your day, a simple task in all that I do.   ~~~~~~~   Can any one of you by worrying, add a single hour to your life?  Matthew 6:27 NIV Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5 NIV I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” ' Jeremiah 17:10 NIV He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
