My Step-dad planned this for me. Isn’t that kind of him? It was well thought out but he forgot that I belong to God, not him. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Good evening and Eric’s Promise 2027 continued:
I was at a food pantry today and mentioned to the volunteer what was in my fridge. I said, 4 slices of bread and she responded with her needs and her problems with Medicare. She didn’t give a second thought to what I was genuinely saying and went straight to what her problems were instead.
I don’t understand that way of thinking anymore. I used to. Self absorbed thinking. That was until God said, Stop. Lead. Stop following the crowd. Stop following people who try to blend in. Stop being someone you are not just to be able to live. Trust me, He said.
The volunteer then proceeded to act like she cared and told me to apply for a substitute teacher job with Kelly Education. She said, the kids will cuss you out everyday but Good Luck!
Seriously? This is what spurned the $5.00 Holy Move from God in my entire walk last year for my brother’s legacy, Eric’s Promise. God had me meet a woman in Georgia, a former teacher, who left her job because a boy threatened to shoot her. The boy brought in a guitar case with a gun in it and she had missed the meeting. This was all handled by the school and authorities but she will never be a teacher again. How many teachers have this same story or one that they refuse to tell out of fear? Truthbumps. Goosebumps. Too many.
The point being, the children, The anger. The teachers. The safety in our schools, businesses, churches, malls and world. Safety first, God says. You lack nothing, God says. Use what I gave you, God says.
This world is in great need of a perspective shift. We need to do more small acts of love for the people God places in our environments, at God’s Time and in His instruction. I always wait for God to instruct me because that saying is true. Where God guides, God provides. He calls it, “Same Day Delivery.”
Very rarely will someone ever tell you how you impact them, even if it is in the most positive way. We have to Trust the power of kindness and our acts of faith.
Thank you.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

That’s the point.
Galatians 5
New International Version
Freedom in Christ
5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth?8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Life by the Spirit
13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.Against such things there is no law.24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If God assigned you a season to simply go out and care for the people, how would you do it?
Listen and find out.
Eric’s Promise = More Care. Quality Care.
On the days that I am not eating with the people, God has me going to a couple of food pantries to balance giving and receiving.
He has me setting an example as well, of quality care.
In going to the first food pantry today, I rejected spoiled milk and potatoes that were green after I cooked them. I overheard them speaking about how I “complain.”
You wonder why people don’t speak up. This is why. If they speak up against the only food source they think is available they will go hungry.
Let me say that again, if those in need speak up against the quality of food that is being served by organizations that claim to help those in need, they will go hungry.
At this pantry I arrived at 12:00. The lady in front of me was a mother and holding her little 1-2 year old child. I went to sign in and saw her name literally had both the words Hope and Love in them.
She was asking what was available there and was given very short answers. I took it upon myself to interrupt and give her a list of other pantries and let her know that the milk, eggs and diapers that she needs might be where I pointed and to try there also.
I really need to keep speaking up for those who can’t and God has made the way. Slowly but surely, I am walking in His Light, Love and covered by His Wings.
Galatians 6 New International Version
Doing Good to All
6:1-10
6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spiritshould restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Erics Promise 2027 continued.
The Promise has many facets because God does too.
Hospitality and making people feel welcome was big for Eric and something my Mom made mention of too. Eric, being a Senior in High School, helped the freshman feel at home, safe and calm. If they were lost Eric was there. If there was a “closed door” Eric would open it. If there was a look of sadness Eric shot a smile.
This is who Eric was and is part of The Walk.
I was just outside for a walk when I met a man who I sat next to at the Church service held just an hour previous. I asked him if he wanted some of the snacks that I received from Angel Outreach. After speaking with him for awhile I realized that this was a new area to him.
Thanks to God I was able to tell him where to get a hot meal tomorrow. He was also able to reassure me that he was semi safe in where he was sleeping. He too was separated from his family after his mother died.
I was able to paint on the bridge after we first spoke and when I came back down was able to include him in the prayer and added Hebrews 11:1. He gave me this scripture before I went to paint.
“Hebrews 11:1
New International Version
Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“Psalm 18
New International Version
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortressand my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.6 In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.20 The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
22 All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.
24 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
27 You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
29 With your help I can advance against a troop[e];
with my God I can scale a wall.30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them so that they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
39 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversariesbefore me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
44 foreigners cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;
they come trembling from their strongholds.46 The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
47 He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,
48 who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.50 He gives his king great victories;
he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
to David and to his descendants forever.”In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I see light within light within light within light.
Usually people say that they see light in the dark but as I walk right now God is showing me light within light within light. Radiance. The Sunflower.
For a handful of months now a message has been clear as day. It began to show itself last Christmas. It is a Goal of Justice and of Mercy.
The only way to fix anything is to actually live out Eric’s Promise, not just talk about it or pretend to be part of it. Everyday too. Not just on the weekends or a Sunday or a Saturday or just for Lent but every single day.
I am speaking to everyone here.
There are two people though that this message is truly for. They know who they are. God wants me to tell you the following:
“Luke 13:32
New International Version
32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’”
There were 2 foxes last year and now there is 1 left. This 1 fox was the Source of contaminating the other and poisoning Eric’s Promise. In poisoning Eric’s Promise you poisoned me. What did God do to help me? He sent me to join the poorest of the poor. This is the pure fix.
God Always Wins. God shows me everything.
Glory be to God and His Mighty Hand.Psalm 17
New International Version
Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just;
listen to my cry.
Hear my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.3 Though you probe my heart,
though you examine me at night and test me,
you will find that I have planned no evil;
my mouth has not transgressed.
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not stumbled.6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.10 They close up their callous hearts,
and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a fierce lion crouching in cover.13 Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down;
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world whose reward is in this life.
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers for their little ones.15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.In Jesus’ Mighty name, Amen.

What they say about God unleashing Heaven through you is real. Speak truth over the war outside of you. Remember what is within you is exactly why you see the war outside. What you have within you is Heaven Unleashing itself. Eat healthy. Do not worry. Stay in your gifts. Stay in the rosary. God gave you a sacred formula or very specific things. Use them daily. They are enough to keep everything on schedule. Refuse doubt. Remember the miracles and unfolding that God has shown you. You are the truth. Stay humble. Stay kind. Keep your energy harnessed within so God can use all that you have. Let Christ refill you when you are empty. Don’t be afraid to rest. Drink enough water. Do all self care items necessary. This is what makes you available for God.
Much Love. Remember who you are, God’s child.

Some of us have strong imaginations. Look all around you. Look at what humans have built from imagination. Now take that and apply it to prayer. 🙂
Take that kind of bold creative expression found in architecture and use it in prayers.
That’s what I do. 🙂
I take my brave imagination and my anchored faith to create elaborate realities for God. I do this with paint, writing, joy, scripture and the greatest love.
What takes place is mind blowing. It is jaw dropping.
I was led to paint on the bridge today and was inspired by the light dancing in the water. I saw within me yellow around the white shapes that I had painted earlier in the day.
Earlier in the day though God was showing me to “Wrap up the yellow.” Yellow to me means many things but it is rooted in helping the homeless and being part of the Catholic Worker movement. This is with the help of St. Mark and Dorothy Day in my walk with Christ, to say the least. This was to close out a massive assignment for my brother Eric, hearts and the number 17.
As I was painting yellow around the white shapes I immediately realized God had me paint brains with white to help purify minds. He had me surround them with yellow to bring light to sad minds, to disturbed minds etc. I wrote all about it.
It was beautiful because then I realized that God had me praying about Doctors and brain scans. To pray that these doctors see what they are supposed to see and do what they are supposed to do concerning these scans. 🙂
The list goes on according to prayers for this layer on the Ohio River. It was grand and beautiful.
Many people stopped to join in on the burst of light that was coming through me.
I gave two mini canvas to two kiddos too so they would use their imagination to build something lovely, good, true and noble. They were both so excited and grateful. I know God is working wonders in them now. 💛
Psalm 143
New International Version
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.
2 Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteousbefore you.
3 The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in the darkness
like those long dead.
4 So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.
5 I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
6 I spread out my hands to you;
I thirst for you like a parched land.[a]7 Answer me quickly, Lord;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord,
for I hide myself in you.
10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.11 For your name’s sake, Lord, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God is loud, so is Jesus and all of Heaven.
The challenge: Faith. Faith is all that matters. Sharing the faith while you’re saturated in it has effects that are jaw dropping amazing.
I ended up going to the Dollar Tree to buy scripture cards. I was so excited to see new ones available so bought all 6 boxes. 120 scriptures in total. It cost more than what it appears but logically was $9.63. The mirror of my 369 post from last night. Gratitude fills me as my sacrifices are now pouring out good fruits. Fruits of faith.
They were all placed on community grounds today. Watch God Work.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Sacred STEAM shift is here. “Astronomy.”
God wants me to explain it to you.
I’ll do my best.
It’s all about the Goodwin and the matter of favor in physics taking over. In essence the workings of all reality taking place in your favor. This only occurs when you are completely aligned in God’s Will aka His Plan aka His Grand Design.
You have to completely surrender to that.
You have to master the pendulum swing.
You have to be the shift itself by virtue of pure heartedness.
We counteract all evil with this alignment.
For years I have been aligning myself with 369, Edison and Tesla theories. They work don’t they? Look at the lightbulb. 🙂 If it works for their creations to become reality, it will work for yours. 🙂
Use sacred geometry to help. Use scripture to help. Use creative writing aka your imagination.
Look at the cosmos. Do you really think that God created all of that and didn’t gift us the power of imagination? Use it.
Much Love. The Astronomy Shift is here. All the workings of reality are now in your favor, if and only if you are rooted in Christ, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
