Favor Travels: Edmonton Alberta, Canada

Hi Friends,


It's been a while since I've posted so I decided to share my latest 'Favor Travels' adventure.   Earlier in the year I blocked off a week in June for vacation. Although I had no specific plans, I knew I would do something with that time but I just didn't know exactly what at that time.

So in early May, a revelation came that I should visit my Sister in Edmonton Alberta Canada.  So I called her and revealed my plans to come visit her in June and there was just excitement everywhere.

This would be the very first time I would visit my Sister (don't judge me) and going to Edmonton Canada.  This was obviously a LONG OVERDUE visit.

I TOTALLY enjoyed myself SO much......ahhh God is Good. The hospitality was superb and I met great people, that has become lifelong friends and family.


Below are a few pictures from my stay:

West Edmonton is know as the biggest Mall in the World.  The mall contains a beach, amusement park and a host of other attractions.  This is a small clip of a seal show taking place

One of My sister's close friend who is so super sweet, she wanted to host us for dinner one afternoon .  She is originally from Columbia (on the left my Sister's friend, my sister, a friend with her two daughters originally from South Africa and me).

Me Getting ready to go to Church. I love fellowshipping with other believers wherever I go.

We took a Road Trip to Banff National Park in Alberta and the scenery on the drive there was just absolutely breathtaking

There is so much more I could share about my trip but I'll end it here for now.

Isaiah 52:7

How beautiful on the mountains

    are the feet of those who bring good news,

who proclaim peace,

    who bring good tidings,

    who proclaim salvation,

who say to Zion,

    “Your God reigns!”

Introducing:: A Virtual Mini Concert (AVMC) ~Featuring Sherwin Gardner

Hi Friends,

As you know I enjoy sharing music/songs that I listen to, or that is "speaking" to me at the moment here on my blog.

I'm going to mix it up a bit.  Recently I've been inspired to explore a virtual concert style format.  I plan to present a short bio on a specific musician/artist and share in a mini concert style a minimum of three/four songs from the musician/artist (my idea of a virtual mini concert, blogger style 😊).

To kick off our FIRST Virtual MINI Concert, I'm introducing to some and presenting to others......... ...............Sherwin Gardner.

Sherwin is a Trinidadian Gospel reggae singer noted for his use of dancehall style and patois (Pat-Waah) in his music.

The first time I heard his music I was sure he was Jamaican and could not understand how I never heard of him before.  After doing some research I found out he is from Trinidad and I was blow away by his mastery of his Reggae stylistic presentation being he was not from Jamaica.  Very talented musician.  You can lean more about Sherwin Gardner Here

Sherwin has several albums and many songs, below are just a few selections that I enjoy

You can listen to more Sherwin Gardner on iTunes, Pandora, Play Music, YouTube.

Hope you enjoyed!

Singing...

Did you stop to pray this Morning?

As you started on you way,

Did you ask the Lord to guide you?

As you started on your Day...

Favor Travels: Longwood Gardens PA

I LOVE nature accentuated by beautiful flowers, trees, water etc.  It was such a pleasure to visit Longwood Gardens in PA a few weeks ago.  

The weather was LOVELY, Bright and Sunny.  I snapped a few photos that I'll share some below but they don't do justice to the beauty of the gardens.  

 Makes me imagine what it was like in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve's home, before sin and all.

 

 

Beautiful Spring Tulips in various, shapes, colors and sizes

 

Immaculate Landscaping

 

Pretty Orchids

Was truly a Beautiful day spent in the Gardens.

The scenes from the day reminded me of this song:

All things Bright and Beautiful

All Creatures great and small

All things bright and wonderful

Our Lord God made them all

He gave us eyes to see them

And lips that we might tell

How Great is God Almighty

Who has made all things well

P.S. Additional scenes were shared on Instagram, your welcome to follow me there (Here is a link):  High_Favor my symbol/profile picture is a crown.Highly Favored

Have a Great Day Friends!!

Singing He's Alive

Don't try to tell me that God is dead

He woke me up this morning

Don't try to tell me He's not alive

He lives within my heart...

The Lamb that was slain, He's alive

Forever He shall reign, He's alive

They crucified Him at Calvary

But He rose in Victory

He's alive!!

He's Alive!He's Alive!

King Jesus is alive

King Jesus is ALIVE

It's My Anniversary

Celebrating another Birth Anniversary today only because God has been so good to me.



Somehow I didn't want to write write about it, then I decided it's not about me. God has been so FAITHFUL to me,  I want to declare and give him all the Glory and Praise for sparing my life, blessing me abundantly, and providing for all my needs.  I do have a few wants still 😉 however I have everything I need, thank you Jesus.

How Did I make it All these years?!  God's Grace....I appreciate you, Thank you Daddy. As I continue on this Journey of life, I appreciate you more, your will is perfect.  I trust you Lord.

I dedicate this song to me and God🎼🎶

Singing A Love Song to My ALL - My ALWAYS

MY LOVE- MY LIFE- MY ALL

My hands 

Were made

To worship you

My heart

My king

It beats

For you

Oh lamb so true

I surrender to you

My life (I give you)

My love ( I give you)

My all (all)...

MY ALWAYS

But there's someone whose love is real

Who cares about the way I feel

Every pain and erase every stain

Theres peace when I call out Your name

Jesus, Youre my everything

The cross, You did that just for me

So whatever You take me through

I promise You

Ill spend my always with You

No one can touch my heart like You

Or make me smile the way You do

Ive finally found someone who

Who really, truly loves me...
