Have Confidence and Keep a Stronghold in Our Lord

Have Confidence and Keep a Stronghold in Our Lord (an unpleasant experience)
I'm taking you back to the beginning of my blog. The Embrace the Cross
website began April of 2015, and the blog began April of 2016.
I had website cards made and trying to spread
"Army of Prayer & Rosary & Embrace the Cross."
on August 26, 2016, I had placed "Embrace the Cross "website in the
newspapers for one week. Well, I guess I paid the price the next day.
I wrote in my journal on Aug. 27, 2016, on a Saturday night something very
unusual happened. My husband and I was fast asleep in our upstairs bedroom and suddenly
I awoke with a strong smell of cotton candy right underneath my nose.
I could smell it for at least 15 -20 seconds. I remained paralyzed and remembered
the bubblegum my granddaughter had left on my kitchen table. I didn't make
a sound and quickly ran down the stairs in my kitchen. There was the bubblegum
lying there and I picked it up and smelled it. It was the scent of cotton candy!
The next morning, my husband was sitting in the living room and I told him to
close his eyes and don't open them. I held the gum up to his nose and asked him to
guess what this is! He said it smelled like a candle. I then showed him the bubblegum
and told him what had happened to me! I then threw the gum away in the trash and
it had never happened again! Anytime we go forward in Christ we must have confidence
and keep a stronghold in our Lord. It doesn't mean evil won't try to disturb us and
have us not to trust in God. We are to acknowledge what happened and go forward.
The worst thing we can do is dwell into darkness and pretend nothing happened.
I did mention my unpleasant experience to a priest and my house has been blessed.
The priest I confided in gave me a powerful prayer card called St. Patrick's Breastplate. ⛨

PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS & ONE SMALL CROSS GIVEN
🕇 PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS 💞(video)
June 11, 2026
The Sacred Heart of Jesus was consecrated by Catholic Bishops
as an act of reparation
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that his mercy may heal
our wounds and draw our nation back to Himself.
{Water from the pierced side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ Strengthen me} say 3 times
Then say: I Join my cross with your cross

June 11, 2026, I forgot to post something for
Our Sacred Heart of Jesus 💞
At 10:30 p.m. I found an older post on my blog,
"Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus" and placed
it on my blog. I viewed the video and forgot the
beautiful monks or priest singing in the background.
Anyway, at 11:40 p.m. I was getting ready to go
upstairs to go to bed. I was in my dining room as usual,
and made my five crosses towards the 15-inch crucifix on
the wall. I gave my kiss towards the crucifix from my hand
and God granted me a small 4-inch cross on my dining room
wooden floor! I could see one cross, and it was very white🕇
I have been given small crosses before but only on certain
occasions. I thought this was neat since it was the
consecration of the "Sacred Heart of Jesus" to the nation.

Holding My Crucifix
The crosses will probably go away on Sunday; I told my husband!
I'm taking you back in time on Saturday, February 12, 1994.
I placed my article in the newspaper for three days and Sunday was
the third day! I knew more people buy the newspaper on the weekends
and I thought my message of "Army of Prayer & Rosary" would be
viewed.
Sunday evening the crosses were still appearing around our crucifix
in our bedroom, so Monday, I decided I needed to tell our local priest.
He was the one I told about the "white glow" appearing several times
on my wreath in my bedroom on January 17, 1994, the day of the
California Earthquake.
I would like to mention I had received the large wreath as a Christmas gift in
December of 1993. It was handmade by my husband's co-worker's wife.
It was made out of cut up pieces of green floral cloth and I don't know how she did
the rest. It was large and beautiful! The "white glow" looked as if a flashlight was
going through the wall and through the wreath. The glow was extremely
white and would get larger then smaller and larger and smaller repeating
several times. I woke my husband up to see if he could figure it out but
neither of us could. When he raised his hand up to the glow it disappeared and
we never seen it again! He even said the glow had a warm feeling to it.
Meanwhile, I'm still sitting up in bed and couldn't believe what had just taken place.
God gave us a remarkable sign that we witnessed together!
I then told my husband, " I had just asked for a sign from our Lord if
this is what he is wanting me to do!"
My exact words were "Dear God and Blessed Mary, is this what you
are wanting me to do? "Blessed Mary is not equal to God, but
she was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus our Lord🕇
{Luke Ch:1 Verse 28 Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed
are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.}
My husband didn't know what I had been writing about and I then explained
about being inspired to write "Army of Prayer & Rosary"🌹
I knew I would need to tell my priest about the "white glow" around my wreath
and about the "Army of Prayer & Rosary."
I decided to write him a letter about the given sign of the "white glow"
and the "Army of Prayer & Rosary." I placed it in the collection basket during Mass.
I quickly began sending out forms to many people; my family and friends and
neighbors. The only way I could spread "Army of Prayer & Rosary"
was with paper and stamps.
Getting back to the Sunday of the crosses appearing and Monday comes.
I waited for my husband to come home from work, and I wanted to tell our
priest about what we had been witnessing of the appearing crosses.
I also wanted to have him bless our crucifix. Our priest wasn't available that evening
but he arranged for me to go speak with a priest from
another Catholic Church that evening in the same city.
I take my crucifix about 12 inches tall and my husband and I drive
to a large cathedral structured church. I'm nervous as we pull
up to the church but I knew I had to speak with a priest.
My husband and I walk into the church office and I see the
receptionist sitting behind her desk. I'm holding my crucifix and
I tell her I need to speak with a priest and I begin to cry!
A priest comes out of his office and I continue to cry! He directs my
husband and I into his office and I begin to tell him, "My Story."
He blesses our crucifix and tells me the signs are
to help with my mission for Our Lord. He also said to keep praying
and be obedient to God. I walked out of his office with more assurance
and more at ease. When my priest mentioned the word mission to me, I felt a
little scared of the unknown. The next day the same priest
came to bless our home. It was in the evening and dark outside.
He was able to see the crosses appear and said the crosses are an inspiration from
God. I am so thankful for his quick response and helping me put things
in prospective and to carry forth what God has placed on me.
The crosses are still appearing daily around my crucifixes and they
are very inspiring and humbling. ➕

Quotes by Kurt Pangborn's book "Through Blurred Vision"
Quotes from Kurt Pangborn's book called "Through Blurred Vision."
claiming Victory in All Aspects of Life. You can order one from amazon.com
note: It's a true story about the life of Kurt Pangborn🕇
1) Recognize that being knocked down
is O-Kay, but staying down is unacceptable
2) God counts on us to persevere; when were locked in
waiting, God's making a new schedule.
3) Dependence on God requires an independent decision.
4) If we could see the future, we would not need faith.
5) FAITH stands for "Full Assurance in the Heart"
6) God orchestrates everything. He knows what we
need and knows our purpose. God can answer
prayer in an unusual way.
7) Perseverance becomes much more manageable
when we visualize our reason for running the
race. The prize isn't a medal, check, or a
trophy; it is to reside with the One who loved
me first.
8) Like many others, I spent too many years trying
to carry my own burdens and cares.
Avoiding the hurt, emotion, and divide
was my way of showing strength. But
this is not the Lord's way. He has already
been there, ready to catch my cares.
Complete healing and peace came only
when I transferred my cares into His hands.
9) The three P's (Praise, Pray, Persevere)
Submission to God is irreplaceable in
your prayer life. 💖
Just as important as praying in faith
is praying in submission.
Without submission discouragement can
come and quite kickstart a rebellion
against God
We say "If I only had enough faith
the outcome would have been
different."
It is not right for us to place ourselves
on the same level as God.
It's impossible for us to see the whole
picture sometimes.
