Divine Encouragement for Dorothy

In 2007 as I was working on this material, I was feeling overwhelmed and overburdened.
Jake Johlers’ Good News Bible sat beside me. As I pondered in my mind how I would accomplish this enormous task, I picked up his bible and opened it. The Scripture that you see is the first that I saw.
In 2013, I was leaving the library and out of nowhere it seemed, a book appeared by Jentezen Franklin entitled “Believe That You Can”; On page eleven was the same Scripture verse by Habbakkuk and its contents proved to be a great source of encouragement to me.
A few months later in a moment of despair, I became very discouraged wondering how could one person, “myself” ever think I could complete this without any other hands and feet but my own. When the mail arrived that day, there was a card from a very dear friend of mine. Inside was a devotion with the same scripture passage by Habbakkuk. Coincidence? I do not think so. My late aunt Dolores Olear would call it a “God-Wink”; a term she borrowed from Squire Rushnell who authored a book entitled “When God Winks at You,” How God speaks directly to you through the power of Coincidence.
I am overburdened. I have accomplished so much but there is still so much more to do.
I blog now because by writing the dream or the vision on tablets (in this case, in a blog) it will help bring to life the souls that want this story told….it will give them a voice….and at the appointed time as indicated by Habbakkuk they will all speak…
Though it tarries, I keep on waiting….and waiting….and waiting.
I placed this Scripture passage on an image I took several months ago. I was not looking for it…it just seemed to pop up on the screen at a time that I needed to see it.
