I Am Still Here

It’s been awhile since I posted a blog.  I have had the flu, and I felt like I was going to “flew,” Whew!”  I hope and pray that no one out there in computerland has been sick!  These new viruses are just awful.  However, He kept me and my family safe through this trouble.

But, God is doing a new thing in the earth.  Just as I have been writing for a long time, He is just about to open the “windows of heaven” and pour out a blessing that we will not be able to contain.  And when that happens, and there is such an overflow, this great blessing of wealth will just “spill” over onto the nations. 

There is such desperate need in the world and who else but the Christians will, ultimately, meet the needs of a dying world.

 I’m just glad it’s spring… a time of ”New Beginnings!”  That is exactly what has been prophesied over the Christians for the year 2008.  This is a “leap-year” and the number 8 is very prophetic, too.Again, my website is gloryrealm.com.  I’d like to hear your comments and have you buy a book!    

Again, my daughter and I got to go on another wonderful trip.  This time, we went to  South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.  It was so much fun, but it was much more than that; it was prophetic!! 

In my last two books, “New World” and “Time Leap,” which are very, exciting, thrillers, I tell the story of a woman, who, among other events,  goes back in time.  She gets to go to a marketplace, in the old South, and she experiences the thrilling, “allure” of the market. 

 There are  wonderful and fresh foods, of all sorts, and gorgeous, brightly-colored, fabrics, from faraway lands, as well as an endless variety of intriguing items, many of which, she would love to buy.

The “Wonder” of the trip, that I went on was, that our hotel room’s balconey looked directly down onto, possibly, the very “market” that I had written about.  What a thrill!  They say not to write about things that you don’t know about, so now I haven’t (if that makes sense…hah)!

There was one thing about this experience, however, that was very sad, and that was the marketplace, on Market Street, in Charleston.  What is now a sort of farmer’s market, was once the “slave quarters” for the city, and I do believe, for much of the south, too. Probably millions of people were “herded,” like animals, into the jail-like buildings, after having survived the terrible journey, on ships, to America, which many of them, actually, didn’t survive…!

We looked  directly down onto several, “block-long,” buildings, from the balconey of our historic hotel,  that I thought looked a lot like Nazi prison camps!  These buildings were one-story brick, with bars, like a jail, across either side of them.  There were lots of old tables in them, which may have been newer additions.  The buildings were filled with people selling crafts, the day we arrived.

What I found to be surprising was, that quite a few black people walked alongside those buildings, with, seemingly, no emotion.  Of course, I wasn’t “inside” their heads, so I don’t know how they felt, as they walked the street where, possibly, some of their families had been brought into a new and cruel life.

I began to talk to a young, black woman, who was sitting on a short stool, only yards away from the “slave quarters,” making baskets.  She seemed to take me back in time.  I asked her what she was doing?  She told me that she was making sweet-grass baskets, or sheet-grass, I wasn’t sure which.  She was very nice, and told me that her family had been making them for a long time.

Later, when I got home from my trip, I was looking at pictures of Charleston, on the web, and I saw a story about an older, black, man who was making the same baskets.  The article said that the baskets were so strong, that even when stepped on, they would not collapse.  I thought that was  indicative of the black people, too.  In fact, the story had a happy ending, saying, that the man had the grass on his land, and that he was making a lot of money, selling his  museum-quality baskets.

Then, my daughter and I were walking along, looking at all the beautiful, historic, homes, when we happened upon the very building where the slaves were “auctioned.”  It was now a museum.  How chilling it was to see such terrible reminders of another time, in such a beautiful city.

I couldn’t help thinking that, though He is God, He must even, sometimes be amazed and horrified at what men can do to one another.  The thought also came to me, that the issue of “slavery” has never, really, truly, been dealt with, by the people of the south. 

I thought about my own grandmother, who was closely related to Robert E. Lee, and Sam Houston, as well as many other famous people.  In fact, she was from the south, and she and my mother’s family had such, strong, southern, accents, that my mother told me, that no one could understand them, when they moved up north, to live.   

In fact, my books are, written, by God, in a very kind and even respectful manner, to the little “creatures,” that He has made.  He would, I believe, like to see people be much kinder to one another. 

You can order my first book, “Crystal Beyond the Curtain,” on my web-site, gloryrealm.com.  Please do; you won’t regret it!    

I was going to tell you more about the books, and I will, later, but first…!  My daughter and I just got to go to Las Vegas, Nevada, just a few days ago.  We were there for four nights and five days, and it was so fun and enlightening.  My husband asked me what I learned on the trip.  It was a good question, because I think a person does learn lessons, especially when they get away from the usual “grind.” 

It’s been a long time since I have been on a real trip, and I did learn some things.  First of all, Las Vegas wasn’t as much “sin city-ish” as I had heard.  It was beautiful, especially the hotels, but even more so, the new mall, which isn’t even completely open yet, ”Town Square Mall.” 

 It was definitely the most beautiful mall I have ever seen.  It was actually like a small town, with cobblestone streets, gorgeous architecture, lighted palm trees and beautiful shops.  I was just blown away!  Some parts of it looked like the old California mission districts, others like an Italian plaza with lovely restaurants, and still others looked like antique music halls.  

Now, to what I learned.  The first thing was, people are on a mission to have fun and live “big,” partly because they are scared.  They figure the “end of the world” is coming soon and “why not!”  Of course, the movies show this a lot, too.  It’s true, the “end of life as we know it” is going to happen, but not the end of the world.  In a way, though, it kind of doesn’t matter too much, because it will seem like the end of the world. 

That’s why it is so important to get with Jesus!  Another thing that I saw in Las Vegas was people out on the street, handing out Christian literature and even a silver coin, with the Ten Commandments on it.  I felt like the coin was the most valuable “physical” thing I came away with, from the trip.

Then, I saw the futility of life, and how we are just on this planet for a short time.  I saw people, I believe the way God sees them, through eyes of “Pure Love, and how incredibly much He wants to reach them!”  Something that comes to me, so often is, “Masses Of Humanity!”  I can see why God compares the “peoples of the earth” to “stalks of wheat,” white and ripe for the “threshing.”  I saw “waves of people,” swaying in the “Breezes,” sometimes towards the Light, and then, oftentimes, towards the darkness. 

Then, God spoke to me and said this, “Do you realize that because I’m in you, you carry “My Spirit” into wherever you go?  I want to make a difference, in this world, not in a stuffy, man-made, religious way, but I want to carry the “Spirit of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit into people’s lives.

Quite frankly, I do feel very inept, because I know that I am not “up” to the task, because it’s going to be “a big one,” I’ve been hearing, by the Spirit of God!”  I am absolutely not bragging, but rather, asking you to pray for me.

Again, I encourage you to get my book.  I didn’t sit down, one day, and dream up the books that I have written.  I was “Commissioned!”  God has some things, actually a lot of things, that He desires to share with you, in these books.  The books truly “defy” description!  Non-Christians have loved reading them, as well as Christians, because they are refreshingly not “stuffy or churchy!”  They are “far out,” just like God!  He truly is beyond… “Belief!!”  He is a “WONDER!!

I think I’ll begin in the beginning of my life; in other words, how the books came about.  In one of my last blogs I explained how traumatic my birth was, not only for my mom, but for myself, as well. 

After surviving the “birth experience,” much more trauma was to come into my young life!  I was to go through a childhood of many wonderful, as well as, horrible things.  I will explain these in my biographical books, that will be published, after the first set of six books, that begin with ”Crystal Beyond the Curtain.”  

I will talk more about all the sensational accidents and near-death occurences. later.  However, I, strongly, want you to know this; a horrendous “price” was paid to bring these books to you. 

Even though the books may be portrayed as being frightening, most people think they are very hopeful and encouraging.  They are, also, filled with instructions on what to do as the days continue. 

The thing most of the readers say about them, too, is that they don’t feel judged, but find much comfort in God’s words.  Even though I wrote them, I just didn’t sit around and “think up” a bunch of things to write.  The books were, truly dictated to me, by God.  A lot of people, even famous ones have been involved in this project, or these books would never have gotten published. 

Many many people have told me, prophetically, that these books would suceed, and be best-sellers, even a chief-editor, at a publishing company, and  former professor of writing did.  

Also, some of the biggest publishing houses ,in the U.S. were very interested in these books.  They put my husband and  I through, on the phone, to the “owners” of the companies.  When they heard the “perks” of the books, which the secretaries later told me that they “never” had done before, they wanted to see the manuscripts.  However, I decided to self-publish, because I didn’t want God’s words changed by editors.

  So many people have prophetically told me that I was going to be on Oprah, too, people who didn’t even know each other.  I felt like saying, “I know, I know!” 

I urge you to purchase a copy of “Crystal Beyond the Curtain,” today!  Many copies have already been sold, defying the average “Zero” book sales, for self-published books.  They have been in bookstores, and have been talked about on quite a few radio programs.  Not long ago, my husband saw my book being carried by a lady, in a prison ministry, on TBN, and excitedly called me into the living room to watch the telecast. 

Don’t wait to get your copy.  I think you’ll be surprised.  The books give new meaning to the words, “Christian Book!” 

Love, Patricia 
     

On my Christmas trip, my daughter and I went back to the exact place, (a beautiful little shop) where we had visited years ago, where I had received the news that my books had been published (which is now seven long years ago), probably very close to the same date.  It was also less than a block away from where I had life-guarded, and had saved a boy from drowning.  In fact, it was only blocks from where I was born and raised.

It was Christmas day, and I woke up with the distinct feeling that we were supposed to film the You-Tube™ video that we’d been wanting to do for awhile… precisely on that day.  The trip took hours, but it was one of those moments in time, that will always be with you!! 

We drove down a street, lined with quaint shops.   Then we stopped in front of an adorable, little one that had a pretty, small-paned, glass window, in front.  The shop’s window was decorated with a snowy hill, and standing atop it was “Father Christmas,” next to an old-fashioned sleigh.

There were garlands of cedar, and charming ivy vines enchantingly hanging down, large pots of fragrant Narcissuses, and beautiful topiaries decorated with twinkling lights. Large snowflakes were falling, and  I was absolutely “caught away” in the absolute beauty of it.

There was also a decorative stone bench where I sitting, when a friendly couple, out for a Christmas walk, came along, and offered to take some pictures of my daughter and I.  The whole scene was utterly ethereal and looked like something out of the old, Charles Dickens classic, “A Christmas Carol.”

The scene reminded me of one of my favorite prophecies.  It was about a person who’s out walking, down a small, cobble stoned street in a large city.  She happens upon a beautiful, stone shop.  Curious to see what’s behind the heavy, ancient-looking, wooden, door; she walks down the old, heavily worn, wood steps, and opens it.

There before her is the most quaint and lovely, little, alpine restaurant she could ever even imagine.  It is straight out of the “Heidi of the Alps,” stories.  Then, to her amazement, a snowy-haired, gentleman, dressed charmingly, in an old fashioned, black outfit, complete with a crisp, white apron, tied at the waist, comes over to her. 

He begins to speak to her, like the greatest of long-lost, friends, and she knows she has come home… This prophecy (that I have written just a little of) is about finding your “destiny,” even in a big, modern, cold city. That is *exactly* what that prophetic, snowy, Christmas day was like, a day that I will never forget. 

I tell you, the whole experience was surreal, and I felt like God was saying to me, “I am going to “give back” to you all those “years that the Cankerworm (Satan) has stolen!” When Jesus appeared to me as a young girl, he told me, “You are going to have a hard life, but at the end of it, I am going to ‘Absolutely ‘Dump’ All Goodness Onto You!”

I have written a series of six books, beginning with the first book, “Crystal Beyond the Curtain.”  They are of the utmost importance to people everywhere.  I hope you will order the first book, in a softcover book form, or as an e-book, or, best of all… the two of them, together. 

I’m so excited about it, because I’d never written one before but it’s really easy to do… I hope that you will go and read it.  :-)  I’m just so excited about my prophetic book series that I want the whole world to know about it!

Just click on the sentence below to see it “LIVE”.  I’d love to have your comments on it, too!

And, worse yet, I’m a total newbie, my interests have lain in a plethora of other areas but I know it’s important to learn to blog, so my dear webmaster (without whom I’d still be flailing in the internet sea of lostness…) is going to teach me how!

I’m extremely excited about Glory Realm Productions finally coming to fruition, because now I have a place to sell thousands of books that need your hands wrapped around them and your eyeballs (and your heart) glued to them while you learn the vitals of staying joyous during what’s coming in the future.

See the book (which happily, now I can provide to you in TWO formats!) here: http://gloryrealm.com

I encourage you to read “Patty’s Story” so that you know how these books come to me and how dramatically they have affected my life as well as how they will affect yours. 

Blessings to all,

Patty
