Hello Ramona and greetings in the Lord!
I just thought Id stop in and say hello. How are things going in Africa? It is soo neat to have friends in Christ all the way from Africa!! Wow! I would love to go there to experience the different culture and environment. One can get too couped up in thier own little world for way too long. So, my sister, I will let you go, but I thank you for your love that you have for soo many people. Thank you!

Hello Ramona!
God Bless you today!
Ramona, I dont know if I have already asked you this , so Ill ask you again if you dont mind, What is your opinion on homeschool verses private school. If you had the funds for either of them, which would you choose? Now, mind you, I myself have a hard time learning. I always have. Would it be wise to teach my children then? I know of an excellent reknown private school called Christian Life Center and Academy that is awesome. I go to church there, and I know alot of the teachers and staff already. What is your opinion? I have mothers tell me that I am sheltering my children too much or they dont get out enough. "They need to be in some club or group, or start pre-school right away", they say
He or she needs to be around kids more often". Well, I really dont think Im sheltering my kids. I go to playgroups, there is church on Sunday, and there is a bible study I go to once a week that has child care. So, am I sheltering my kids,Ramona? Oh well. This all sounds silly to you probably, but I have no idea what Im doing at this motherhood thing and I really need some wise counsel and guidance. Would you mind giving me your outlook on this matter?
Id appreciate that.
It sounds like you are exactly living in a place I would love to live in! Maybe a little inconvenient, but still very wonderful. You are blessed. I bet you have such great peaceful,quiet times with the Lord dont you??
Love, Paige
Oh, PS. Have you heard from Mom?(Carol) I havent seen her around here. I know she had that funeral, but I wonder if she is ok.

Dear sister Ramona P. Jacob, Thank you so much for your comment and prayer. God bless you. yoel charan

Hello again my dear sis!!
Praise the Lord that I have met you! Thank you for all the love and encouragement.
Yes, I do have a bit of a learning disability. I was diagnosed with ADHD back in the day, well 30 years ago when I was in school. I cant say that I dont have it, but then again I am not that bad either. I have always had a insecurity problem anyway so maybe this isnt about me having ADHD, but because IM insecure in my ability to do homeschool. It is a tough call. I have fought this decision for a few years as I watched my son grow and develop. Now Im watching my daughter right behind him growing at a very fast pace. Both are completely different children and I am almost positive that my daughter will be a little more advanced in learning than he. Anyway, I will probably email her if you dont mind. I cant wait to correspond with her and get some idea of what she has experienced in homeschooling. Thankyou! I know I had a hard time in school, and I wish I couldve done homeschool, but just because I was that way, doesnt mean that my kids will be that way. Its tough. Love you very much!!
Paige

Miss you...

Hi Sister, I didn't want you to think I was forgetting you.
This year I am reading through the Bible, I have not done it i n a while.
I was really blessed when I was reading in Genesis 16:6-13 to find this statement that Hagar declared and many miss it as I have.

I saw this revelation of Who God.
Jehovah Ra 'ah The Lord Who Sees.
What a blessing to know when you go through mistreatment as Hagar did to know that God sees and is going to make things right. Yes He is the God who sees all and when we realize this truth it can bring forth a radical change in our lives.

This was a real confirmation to the word that you sent me a while back. God is so good and continues to reinforce His Word in our hearts and lives.

I was invited to be a speaker at a mens's retreat in March on the subject Allowing the Holy Spirit to Lead us. I really love teaching about the Holy Spirit.

It is getting very cold here tonight, -23 Celsius, you are most likely still in your heat wave.

Well hope all is well with you and your wonderful family.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Dearest Sister Ramona
I do not care whether you live in a big or small town. All I care is your care and love for me. I do wish to live next door to you for I want to be always with you as Jesus is always with you and me. Feel lonely without your uplifting comments on me. Lol.... You are most welcome and God bless you abundantly always my dearest sister. Thank you for your awaited comment on my page. God bless you abundantly always.

Hi Ramona,

Good morning...here in Canada, now the time is 10:30am. You had posted that SA is extremely hot right now! Here in Ontario, we are in a deep freeze. ....-20 celcius...or -10 ferenhiet..birr.. IT is too cold to go outside! At temperatures like this we can get frostbite (frozen skin) within minutes. The city of Toronto has issued deep weather warnings, and they are providing extra emergency shelter for those who are homeless... I said to my husband that we should just go around and offer to drive people to where they are going... My husband simply looked at me under his gaze as if to say 'no way...why on earth would you do such a thing?'

Anyhow....I will see if I can get some pics for you.

Love and Blessings, Carla

Moring mum and compliments of the new year.. Im so sorry it has been such a long time since i communicated with you. I have been busy sorting out everything in my life (the thesis, job, moving and all that) but i am happy to report that i am finally settled and back to the website. I have now moved from Durban to Pretoria to take up a anew job at the Academy of Science of South Africa and that is going very well.

I have not been a very good child of God though... I just found myself too busy to read my Bible and pray and after a while just forgot about it. Yesterday i was listening to some music on the radio and i felt like God was calling me back. Please pray that i find God again and continue with the journey well.

Let me know how you have been and how the new year is going.

Lots of love
D

Mum i was feeling like i was backsliding for sure but lately i feel like God still wants me by His side. Its amazing how the devil tries to convince me that God does not want me back and that i should just go another day without confessing and praying to God for forgiveness. But i am saying to the devil and yes to God. Thank you for your prayers

Dear Ramona,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss today. I am lifting you up to the Lord... Love in Christ, Carla

Hello sister!
It has been a while since we last connected. How are you? I have missed you all. I was offline for a while. I got very depressed and Im just coming out of it again. God is really dealing with me while Satan is trying to strangle me with a stronghold of fear and insecurity. It has affected my whole life. Moreso than ever. I have been a Christian now for about 9 years and I have never experienced this bad of an attack physically and mentally. I want to believe that there is a big blessing coming and the enemy is doing everything he can to not allow me to get there. God is allowing alot of things to help me grow up, but I tell you, Im not good when it comes to growing pains!! OUCH!!! I am no good with change and letting go. At least right now. Alot of my struggles mom knows. In fact you have my permission to know about some things from mom(Carol)about me. I could use some intense intercessory prayer regarding what Im going through. I am going to get my pastor over here and he is going to anoint my house with oil and pray over all the rooms. God put it on my heart to ask someone in authority to do it. I know anyone can, but this just feels right to me. I need alot of help, but I have come along way all these years. God is transforming me. Maybe not as fast as Id like, but I see it happening.
I love you, and thank you for your time

My Sweet Friend.
As I read down and read sister Carol Ann's message to you. I want to say.I was not aware . I am sorry to hear of your loss. I love you sister. You will be in my prayers much more. You are loved here. God loves you. May he hold you in his arms. Wipe each tear away.

love Sunshine

I was reading in a topic in here. In a group. Where people were sort of having disagreements in this group. A Ron was talking .Then you wrote to this lady who was feeling hurt. It was so effective to my spirit. it brought tears to my eyes. Not sure where .I am new on here. I did read what you wrote and I was touched. It was passages from the word of God you had written. Out of a storm you came in to calm the sea of belivers. God can use you sister mighty. You just know where to come in. The right time. With words of kindness. We see the Eagle in a storm. He is way above. Soaring. He is strong. He has no fear.

So my sweet Ramona. I pray you will soar again soon. Through our prayers for you and in Gods time.

You are loved.

Hello Ramona!!!
God bless you today! I was thinking about you and thought Id drop in and say hello. How are you? R u staying well? We are finally over the flu and I feel like a new person. The weather outside is kind of gray and cold. Cant wait till Spring. I bet its beautiful where you are in each season isnt it? How are the kids,grandkids and great grandkids? You have a large family and that is really neat. Your step daughter is even a pastors wife!!
Cool!!! Please update me about what the Lord has done for you lately. You are loved and blessed.
Thankyou for being my friend!!
Paige

Thank you for your email back to me and your explanation. I did remove it off the wall. Thank you. . I pray you are feeling much better in all you have gone through. You are loved .

Hello Ramona,
It is soo nice to get an email from you. As I read the messages that you leave, I feel such a calm. I am pretty anxious alot of the time, to be honest. So your spirit is very soothing to me. No stress. I hope to be like you someday. and I hope to be like mom too(Carol). IM afraid that I am too much like my blood mother and I pray all the time for the Lord to help me change. I see my mother in me especially when I get mad or annoyed at the children. I never thought Id be like that, but after my second child, my girl, I changed or something and I easily get anxious,worried and soo angry. Oh, how I have to ask God for forgivness. Is God upset with me when I act like that? Does He already know I act like that and why? I trust that he knows why, but is that an excuse? I hope you understand. I get a little confused. Im afraid that I get angry too easily over the dumbest things. Can I get your godly opinion?? Thank you. I am blessed with wonderful "mentor moms" around here!!!

Ramona this is a great vidoe that reminds me so much of you. You are such a blessing to me and so many others that you won't know about until Heaven.

Hi Ramona,

Just stopping by to say hello.. Lots of Love, Carla

Just wanted to make sure I had a note here for you to find on your return from your vacation. You are always a blessing to me and when you are absent you are missed. I pray that God will give you a time of refreshing that comes from the presence of the Lord. That you and your beloved will be blessed in a very special way.

hello ramona, i am visiting your page again. i am from the philippines, not phillipeans.

Hello friend Ramona P. Jacobsz, Thank you so much for your nice comment on my page. Through all of your prayers we will get victory over all difficulties . God bless you.
yours brother yoel charan

Dear Ramona, hope you had a good vacation. It is still very cold here with lots of snow. I don't even like to go outside. My cat blessed me this winter and still goes out side to the bathroom and doesn't use her litter box. Praise God!
The Lord has been teaching me so much lately and if you get a chances check out some of my new blogs. I am being mentored in my writing for the new work I am going to be doing so i have shared them on all my sites.

It is really a blessing to take a minute and ask God what He is teaching you and putting it down on paper.

I like to write my prayers out also. When I go back and look through them I get so blessed as I see how God has dealt with me.
It will be 34 years ago tomorrow that Jesus came into my life. Everything good that I have ever known in my life has been because of that day. I knew he had come before I finished the prayer. I still shed tears as I think of that day. Jesus is awesome isn't he? He deserve all our praise and worship and all of our love.

hello ramona, i am not a bother to anyone. i am the one bothered, but i don't really mind, you cannot please everybody here. if you like me, fine, if not, it's also fine with me.

Great thought that patience and peace are the mother and father of love! We don't like to think that impatience is unloving or learning to be a peacemaker are related to love.
God give us grace to be more loving people.

Hi Ramona,
I love the saying about the hound dog burning his tongue. We have a saying here that is similar,"Be careful that you don't put your foot in your mouth." This must be the day God is going to teach me about holding my tongue. Pastor Dave (on Unite Together) sent a devotional where he said something so profound; "We learn from listening,not from speaking." slow to speak quick to listen that is my goal.

Yesterday Cheryl and I spent hours talking about the Lord. It was such a miracle. I want to see her back with the Lord more than anything. I really believe she is making a turn around, but am guarded because of false starts before. I read to her my blog the way back home and she received it.

This weekend we are having a ministry come back to our church that was here in November. Qualifying Times ministry. We had such a powerful move of God. Bob Hawley has such a gift of the word of knowledge and the word of wisdom. Cheryl said she was going to our friend home where our prayer group and the ministry team are getting together. for food and prayer for the weekend.

I thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement. Patence is the word for the hour.

I will leave you a picture of Cheryl so you can see who you have been praying for.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Thank you dear Ramona! My Daughter Bethany has Cheryl's gorgeous hair. I fell in love with Cheryl when I was 19 years old, 30 years ago and her getting back to the Lord would be the thing that would bring me more joy than anything. Seeing her free to serve the Lord again would be enough for me, and the restoration of our marraige would be an added bonus.
In the love of Jesus

Hello sister Ramona P. Jacobsz, Thanyou so much your nice comment. God bless you.

Hi Romana,
My name is Manny Flores I am a Pilipino 27years old leaving in Surigao del norte, Mindanao, Philippines.

But I have an issue in my life and become my problem...

God has a calling in my life since when I was child and every night I cannot sleep, my heart is burning with passion, my soul always longing and crying in serving Him and to love Him with no shame. I want to walk with God in Holiness but I cannot do it alone I need someone who can mentor me... Please if God speak to you right now please respond and email me floman05@hotmail.com and I will give you the details of my issue or problem.

Thank you!!!

Sincerely yours,

thank you my dear friend in Christ...God bless!!!

Hi Ramona,
Well I am thankful that I have completed my preparation for my 2 messages I am delivering at a men's retreat on Saturday. It will be a group of about 30+ guys from 5 different churches. I will be speaking on the topic of coming to know the Holy Spirit which I love to teach on. It took me a few weeks to get the messages together because it is going to be such a diverse group, but God has given to me grace to put together these messages.

Now I can spend the week praying for the guys that will be there.
those of us who will be speaking had a prayer time together last Thursday. There is such an expectation among us for what God is going to do.

I met with my pastor last week for lunch and I am going to be going a head and starting the discipleship class starting in April for 8 weeks, then I will teach it in September and October also. We will then keep repeating it from then on in the spring and fall.

We are having another snow storm today again. lol My 2 sons are in Bolder Colorado and they have had very little snow there this winter from what they are use to here. My son Brennan even misses it. Well I love Vermont any how. Our clocks were put a head yesterday so it is a sure sign of spring.

It is still amazing to me that you in South Africa have opposite seasons from us.

God bless you my dear sister and have a wonderful day.

In the love of Jesus
Bob
