UPDATE: What's next for MyDivineNotes.com

Hello friends and readers!

So much has changed in the world since I started this blog. I have also evolved as we all should to reflect new experiences, knowledge and calls of the Spirit.
But the one aspect of my life that has remained constant is my life with God! My reliance and belief in God have never changed.

What has changed is the call of the Spirit in my life and ministry. When I started my journey I had one-way vision influenced by the voices I listened to. 

Change gradually happened in my ministry and beliefs because of the many years of ministering in hospital settings. One can't impose spiritual beliefs on people of different faiths or no faith. That was the starting point for me.

Racial and political reckoning also awakened me to the systemic oppression of the White church that I embraced in my adulthood. I engaged in learning to understand how the church was always made for light skinned people - not me and my loved ones.

I stopped engaging in religion and my faith grew deeper. It was the best thing I could have done. 

I'm currently engaged in deep theological reflection and study to undo and understand the things that I learned as "truths" and absolutes. 

Reading the Bible with a new lens has completely changed my perspective and life.

My ministry also evolved with a social justice emphasis.

I also recognize that we have a finite amount of time on Earth so I'm working on how the rest of my life will look. More on that later. 

Today I'm still evolving and so much has happened and, most importantly, 
I've also learned to "stay in my lane" and care for my body, soul and spirit.

One key finding that I will share with everyone:  I miss having a spiritual community. 
Whatever I do next, I want to be surrounded by people who love God as passionately as I do! Let me know if you have suggestions or comments. 

Also - go over to my
 https://blancavelasquez.wordpress.com/ blog that has links to this and my other blogs for the latest posts. 

Thank you for continuing to come to this site to read my writings. You can be sure that whatever I write will be Spirit-led. 

Take care precious ones!
Sending you big GOD hugs - Blanca

How to stay young and youthful all your life

How to stay young and youthful all your life Word of Instruction from Dr. Charles F. Stanley These are my notes from today's broadcast . Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 Psalm 92: 12 Good people will prosper     like palm trees,     and they will grow strong     like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 They will take root in your house, LORD God,     and they will do well. 14 They will be like trees that stay healthy and fruitful,     even when they are old. 15 And they will say about you, “The LORD always does right!  God is our mighty rock.” Keep learning – a lazy brain is a decaying brain Keep loving – don’t be bitter Keep laughing – 😊 Keep leaving your past behind – don’t live in the rear-view mirror of your life Keep longing Keep dreaming about the future – it’s a matter of attitude Keep looking your best Keep laboring and working – there’s no retirement in the Bible Keep learning, depending, and trus...

Sweet Sixteen

  Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life.  It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were  opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey  full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious”  mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on  people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones  I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything  about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love;  fr...
The best 10 years of my life Acts 20:24 (The Voice) …The only value I place on my life is that I may finish my race, that I may fulfill the ministry that Jesus our King has given me, that I may gladly tell the good news of God’s grace. I’m sure May 2, 2006, the day God’s presence become real for me and my life changed, will be pale in comparison to heaven. Since God awakened me, I’ve lived in constant awareness that life on Earth isn’t “it.” This is not my final destination and the thought excites me. What will happen when I see His face? Meanwhile, my mission gets more urgent. While these have been the best years of my life, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced losses and disappointments.  But I’m no longer desperate through tough times. I’m also not easily discouraged because my Lifeline is constantly with me.  God is powerful. Two things enhance my walk: deep, sold-out love and reading His word. Love   The Lord commands us to LOVE HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART...
