Life is continuing to be such an adventure and so exciting!  When you know that all things,  ALL THINGS,  ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for GOOD, to them that love Father and are CALLED according to His purpose. Rom 8:28  So what are we fearful, anxious about and worried about?  Do we believe it?  Really?  Maybe we don't love Father God, or we don't believe we are called to His purpose?  We are responsible for who controls our life...so...I chose Father God and His son Jesus... who have you chosen to be the ruler of your life?  By their fruit, you shall know them.  I have a suggestion, Choose Jesus, it turns out better!!!

My friends and Grandchildren have blessed me so.  They are so awesome!  I want to thank you all again for blessing me with money for the car!  I have such peace about the car and I know that Father will provide the best for me at this time.  I am going to wait until this all "works out" before I share how Father is working it.  He has me in a wait mode right now, I always know it will work out to my good and already he fixed my tag situation by shutting down the DMV's in both Maryland and Florida and Maryland gave me 120 days after the end of the Virus crises to get my tags!  What a God!
 A friend and fellow worker in Father's Kingdom and our Ministry stayed with me the weekend of the 14-15th and it was a wonderful blessing!  She is from Clermont, FL and our first overnight guest!  

My Grandson who is on the lease with me left suddenly on the 16th to visit his family in Indiana and he surprised me and came back today.  I took him to the airport when he left (7 miles away) and we pulled up in the departure area and there were NO CARS for any of the Airlines!  Wow, I thought I had missed the rapture!  After we stopped to let him out, about 3 cars showed up, he said there were only 24 people on the plane that held 170.  On the return flight he said on the first flight, there were 6 and the second, there were 9, so he didn't have to sit by anyone. 

We are on "only go out of the house if you have to" mode and it is fine, I have a screened deck that allows us to enjoy the outdoors when it is not too hot.

A lot has happened, life is never dull when you are submitted and committed to the one who has everything planned out.  Father God has the plan and every knee will bow to the name of Jesus one way or another, either in honor and respect or out of fear.  We choose, but better choose now rather than later.  

I will keep you informed.

Wow, my Father God is awesome!

This adventure with Father God is amazing.  It is hardly ever what you think because Father thinks far above our thoughts.  Well, I told you I would keep you posted on the car happenings.  I thank God for all of you who contributed to my car situation, may He bless you abundantly, ten fold your gift and more!  I am blown away that within a week He has blessed me with $900 towards the car and I only have gotten down to the "P's", Praise my Father God and His son Jesus!  .  I shared the good news with my Verizon Grandson and he texted me back after sending $300 saying  " For getting Grandma a car please, let's go people."  He is so sweet.  He was home on vacation this week and stayed home with the children (6 months and 4 yrs old) so his wife could have a break.  Wow, what a witness for Husbandhood and Fatherhood!

The first money I received was from  my Husband's cousin with a message:
"I read your post about your needing repair and a sent you a gift. I hope you receive it in the spirit of love that it was sent. I've told you before that it was cousin Floyd that inspired me to take the leap of faith into the ministry. So I owe him and you a debt of gratitude for encouraging me to be where I am today..... Basking in God's Glory.!!!! thank you".  He is now the Pastor of My Husband's home Church.  What a blessing!

I am so humnled by the responses, I have about 4 people who indicated they would send something soon.  I know Father will provide, a car before my tags run out at the end of March.  If you would like to contribute, any amount is appreciated, I don't want to go into debt, so whatever
My Cash App ID# is $LonnaSwann,  I also have Zelle with my email lonnaswann@gmail.com

Almost a month in apartment livingwhen y phone was fixed, I asked him if he knew an old,good mechanic that was cheap

March 1, 2020

We have been so blessed with everything we need.  Father God has blessed us so, and without spending much money, we have completely furnished the apartment!  A member of the Fellowship gave us a new couch sleeper, ( now we have room for guests), two oriental rugs, 10 framed original oil paintings, a chair and ottoman, a toaster, blender and some other things we needed.  And everything is top quality, matches and is our style!  God is so good! I will send some pictures as soon as we finish getting organized.  
We are setteled in emotionally and getting along much better.  We just had to adjust.  

Now my car (2000 Honda CRV) is acting up.  I paid for a new engine last year and now the backend is acting up. I adopted a Grandson in December at the Verizon store.  I hadn't seen him since then but I was having some issues with my phone and I went to the store.  He saw me and came up and said, " Grandma Swann!"  and hugged me. He knows Jesus and is a really good guy.
After the phone was fixed I asked him if he knew of an old, good mechanic in the area, that was inexpensive.  He said yes and proceeded to refer me to Noel, he called him and told him I was coming to get the car checked out. 

I went to  Noel's, he was in Lake Worth, about 25 minutes away.
When I arrived he took the car for a drive and I stayed and talked to a customer who was in a used car business that had been coming to him for 14 years.  When Noel came back with the car, he told me that it was the differential and depending on the cost of the part, it would cost between $500-700 to fix and in addition, he saw something with the engine that he would have to investigate further.  I told him I was Grandma Swann and up for aboption.  Then I asked him, "If I was your Grandmother, what would you recommend that I do?  He said, "If you were my Grandmother, I would suggest that you keep water and oil in it and drive it until it dies because putting money into it would continue to happen because it is so old ."  Wow, I was impressed that he was so honest.
When I told my Grandson at the Verizon store about it, I got this text back from him:

"Well tell all the Grandchildren that I said, we all need to contribute to get Grandma a car.  I can start by contributing $200-$250.  A Honda or Toyota is a very reliable car.".  
Wow! You never know how Father God is going to work!  I thanked him, he is so sweet!  Then later on, he text me   and reminded me again.
I prayed about it and got confirmation and Father said to ask!  That is His system and He told me to...so I am asking.  I love you and this is very hard for me, but I must be obedient.  Any amount will be much appreciated.
 I guess I need to give you the way to contribute.   I have Cash App, and Zelle, and PayPal.  Phone 301-580-2824
My tags are due to be changed by March 31st, so I will probably need to get it by then.  This was very hard for me, I love you all and I don't have any expectations of you.  I only know that,  my Father God, will provide, I hope you will pray and obey and I will receive with a grateful heart, and it is perfectly fine if you are not in position to, or choose not to.  I pray Father God's richest blessings on you whether you contribute or not.  Thank you for listening.  I will keep you posted.
