Thank God for the power of a grandma's prayers! One of the things that make grandparents unique in life is the impact of their presence and their influence in our lives.My grandma was the godly example that I needed to see in my life and God supplied that need. Though she's in heaven now, it's nice to know that her prayers don't have an expiration date. She believed on Acts 16:31 and it's been exciting to see the results of her prayers over the years. If it weren't for her, I would be dead, insane or both. My mother blamed me for my father's murder when she could have telephoned us and warned us ahead of time, so I had a lot of baggage, to say the least. Due to the trauma of witnessing my father's murder, I could no longer speak and doctors said I may never speak again but because of my grandmas's prayers I was able to speak again. I've dedicated a whole chapter in my book to her called,"Power of a grandma's prayers." So to all of you grandma's out there, be encouraged, don't give up, your prayers make a difference.

I found that there really is more to life and so thankful to God that there's something deeper than happiness, which is joy. Jesus said he came that our joy may be full and complete. In his presence is fullness of joy and the joy of the Lord is our strength.

There's no better place to be than in his presence, that's where we're changed! Happiness is from happenings but joy is deeper and can remain despite your circumstances. I found out that Jesus Christ is the healer of the brokenhearted and that he is the Prince of Peace. I want others to know it's not too good to be true, there really is more to life and that Jesus Christ is a reality. As we draw near to him he draws near to us. As we delight n him he will give us the desires of our hearts. As we seek his face and immerse ourselves in Gods word we can learn to walk in a higher realm of life that God intended for us, which will result in a brighter future.

In Jeremiah 29:11 God said his plans aren't to harm you but to do you good, and to give you hope and a future. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path. God is faithful, he's not a man, that he'd lie.

General Interests
My motto's, Life's too short to be too serious. " I had enough of that. Laughter is so important, that it's even talked about in the bible. Proverbs says Laughter is like a medicine to our flesh and marrow to our bones. I think it's better than calcium. I love to laugh and thank God I'm now free to do so! It's so nice to cry tears of joy, glory be to God! I take laughing very seriously, I like to see funny movies, like to be around funny people, and love that even God has a sense of humor. I enjoy getting into the presence of God more than anything. It's my favorite place to be. It doesn't compare with anywhere or anything else. It's much better to not be drunk with wine but be filled with the spirit as Ephesians 5:8 says. Power is in praise: When we praise and worship God it's a win win situation. First of all he's so worthy of our praise, and when we bless him he blesses us back. He inhabits our praises, so it brings his presence down and lifts us up into the heavenlies, above our circumstances and the things of the earth grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace. In his presence is that quiet place where you can hear his voice that speaks so tenderly, and as we spend more time there, his voice becomes more familiar, making it easier to hear amidst the noise. Just as being around a certain person enough helps you to become familiar to the sound of their voice and recognize it, so it is with God. It's where we become more in tune so we can learn to be led by his spirit. The word says in Isaiah 61:3 to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, which is depression. My favorite place to be is In the presence of the Lord, that's where there's fullness of joy, and the joy of the Lord is our strength. And since laughter is usually one of the good side effects of joy it's another reason to want to spend time there. Trade your sorrow for joy, trade your pain, lay it all down for the joy of the Lord, he'll be your strength. I enjoy writing songs and poetry, as well as inspirational stories, children stories, music, reading, singing, photography, playing the guitar, bike riding, boating, waterfalls, and hula hooping, of course with a weighted hula hoop, and as you read on you'll see why. What I really find interesting is when we believe in the scripture: Delight in the Lord and he'll give you the desires of your heart, how God moves in unforgettable, more than amazing ways, that are not natural, but supernatural! God is sooo good! He will prove himself to you if you believe it and practice it. In my book, "What Your Future Holds and What You Can Do To Change It" has many amazing, unusual supernatural stories of how, as I delighted in the Lord he gave me the desires of my heart. I believe you'll be wowed, implored and encouraged to walk in a higher realm of life as you read them! Glory be to God! I enjoy exercising more if I don't look at it as exercising, but that I'm having fun. Anchored Heart is a company that promotes health for your body, soul and spirit. We carry weighted hula hoops- Using weighted Hoops provides cardiovascular benefits, and burns calories while having fun. Hooping 10 minutes a day can take 2 inches away from your waist a month until fit or to stay fit. Mayo Clinic doctors are giving these weighted hoops a thumbs up as a great cardiovascular. They're fun, liberating, make you laugh, and makes you feel like a kid again. If you think you can't do it because you could never keep the original hula hoop up, you're wrong. Though it may seem hard to believe, using a weighted hula hoop is much easier to use versus the light weight original plastic ones, which are impossible for most of us to keep up. It's amazing how God started this business, it's an unbelievable story! I teach hula hoop classes and sell weighted hula hoops. As a result I've had many opportunities to minister to people. It was such an unusual way that I started this business, it was definitely a God thing. It's a pretty wild story how it came about. I said I think there's more here than meets the eye, and God showed me that it was right. I'm so glad that his ways and thought are higher than ours, he's so amazing! When I have more time I will share some of the amazing stories of how God brought people across my path and vice-versa. One individual came from a long distance that located me by googling on the computer, I had the opportunity of praying with her before she left. Here she thought she was just coming by to purchase a hula hoop. I asked her if she liked to read and she said yes, so I gave her my bookmark with the book synopsis. She didn't plan on getting it then, but after we talked for awhile longer she decided she wanted to buy the book too. God blessed her so much with the presence of his love that when we prayed, tears streamed down her face, I could go on and on because there's more where that came from, glory be to God! Next month I will have the privilege to go to a women shelter and give them a free hula hoop class. We're going to have fun! I'm glad God has a sense of humor and he obviously believes laughter is important enough to take the space in the bible to talk about it. Who would have ever thought that God would use hula hoops as a tool to reach people for him? Proverbs says laughter is like a medicine to our flesh and marrow to our bones and science agrees. If we laugh more we can live longer, it's healthy for our heart. According to research, laughter gives our bodies a good workout, improves brain function and relieves stress. I along with many others have found that laughter, loss of 2 inches a month when used 10 min a day, helps balance, clears and quiets mind, intense cardiovascular workout, have resulted from using these weighted hula hoops. These are just a few of the many benefits you'll see on my website: Anchoredheart.

And the Happy Song is really happy! May you receive comfort, strength and joy

Books
Next to the bible, I've always felt that the best book is, " The new kind of love" by E. Kenyon I've read it so many times throughout my life. And of course, my book, "What Your Future Holds and What You Can Do To Change It, which I guess you could say I'm a little bias about it, It's a book I believe everyone should have, because it's powerful, and encouraging, all glory be to God. Since everyone can use encouragement, they should buy extra copies to give to others as gifts for any occasion and even if it's not a special occasion, because everyone is doing it, glory be to God. well, maybe not everyone, but a lot of people are, though it should be everyone, Tee Hee! Oh, and because it's large print, available in Hardcover and soft Cover and because a portion of book proceeds will help women/children shelters.

Movies/TV
The latest movie my husband and I saw at the theatre was a couple weeks ago. The name of it is, "Fireproof. It was excellent! It's with Kirk Cameron. My favorite funny movie is "Opportunity knocks, which you can get on video now, its a few years old but if you like to laugh, you have to watch it! It's with Dana Carvy. Also a really funny favorite is Monster in law! You'll want to add it to your library, that's how funny it is. I'm not a person that generally likes to watch something more than once but these movies were so funny, i could watch them over and over again. My favorite funny TV Show is King Of Queens. It's hilarious!

lives in positive ways and a portion of book proceeds
will help women/children shelters.

Deborah is a freelance writer, author and speaker
and was born and raised in Chicago with a heart to
help hurting people. She's an Illinois Certified Domestic
Violence Professional and speaks at churches, Universities,
Women Shelters, and other events. Deborah has also contributed
to anthologies in the past where her work was awarded
and published in two other different books: "Praise Reports which
was released in January 2007" (Real-Life Stories of How God
Works Miracles Today) and "How I met My True Love"
(inspiring Real-Life Stories of How God Unites Soul Mates).

When Deborah was 3, her mother divorced her father,
who was a member of organized crime, her mother
remarried a man who was mentally and physically
abusive when she was 4. Although she grew up in
a nice neighborhood in Chicago she still lived in
a lot of fear and violence, Finley said.
When she was 15, Deborah was sitting on the couch
next to her father when a man walked into the room
and murdered him with a shot gun. She was untouched.
That's not natural, she said. It's supernatural
the topic of her first book,"What Your Future Holds
and What You Can Do To Change It."

She wanted nothing to do with God,thinking he was
the author of the bad.She continued down a dark
destructive road where she saw God as cruel,
then not wanting to believe he was cruel,
she was convinced that there was no God. After a
life changing encounter with God,
her future was transformed from darkness to light.
I found something that's deeper than happiness, which
is joy, that can remain despite your circumstances,
Finley said. It was when Finley realized that God did
not make the bad happen,instead he helps people
through the bad that she began to be rescued.
Where there was sorrow, I now have joy,
where there once was fear, I now have peace,
Where there were hurts, i now have wholeness.

And everyone can do the same and live in a higher
realm of life, Finley said. The book gives a
step by step guide, including a focus on the importance
of laughter, she said. Proverbs says that laughter is
like medicine to your flesh and marrow to your bones
and science agrees. "I believe laughter should be at
the top of your list of things to do so you don't
forget to do it regularly," Finley said.

Says the author,"I hope (readers) will learn of God's love
for them and be drawn to him. I also hope it will cause them
to examine their hearts and let go and let God help them.
Because by yielding themselves to God, their health can improve,
their quality of life can improve, and their future can
become much brighter."The book is filled with a combination
of true life experiences, proven facts, and
biblical truths that can give your life new meaning and purpose.

God says his plans for you are not to harm you but
to do you good and to give you a hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11
