Donny it is so good to hear that you’re work visa is in process and the bus is really coming along . My dream journey at the moment is to get both of us back to be healthy. Cancer Sucks as we journey through life, we will encounter various experiences that will shape our perspective and help us grow and heal. However, it is essential to recognize the importance of surrounding ourselves with others who are also committed to their own growth and healing. Being around people who share your values, goals , beliefs can be incredibly empowering and uplifting. As a conscious being, we possess a unique energy that is constantly affected by the people we allow into our life.” So do not fear, for I am with you;do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you ;I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ( Joshua 41:10)

Donny, thank you for sharing and good to see you! I feel a lot of what you feel as God has placed many things on my heart over the past year. Two verses that come to mind as I was watching and listening are Romans 12:1-2(NIV) - "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."

I'm reminded each day when I wake up for me personally to stay kingdom focused, it takes me renewing, reeducating, and redirecting my thoughts for my focus to stay Christ centered, surrendering my entire self to Him. When our focus is not on Jesus, where is it (fear or maybe what the world thinks)? When you quoted James 4:7(NIV) - "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Submit and be obedient to God's will for us. It's a daily and sometimes moment by moment work for me. God wants us to submit and be obedient to Him. I read in a book last night "What we fear, we obey." If we fear God, we tend to be obedient to Him.

Thanks again Donny, and continued prayers for you and God leading you!

It's nice to see you and share your prayer walk today. I have struggled at times with how far God wants me to take my "dreams" and it's important to me to keep God's perspective before me in all I do with my writing, etc. I never want to strive to be "someone" or become worldly or lose sight of the message God wants me to convey. I was brought up short recently when Keith and I visited a ministry we support in Belize. We experienced first hand how poverty is so prevalent there and how the people who have so little still feel so happy and blessed. They were so generous to us and I couldn't help but wonder what they thought about how much we have and yet they would feed us their last food. I saw God's heart in them and I want THAT far more than anything we own. I've been praying for you to know God's will and direction clearly and it sounds to me like your time away from social media has helped you solidify your calling to bring God's love to people everywhere. You do that through your music as well and I know He will provide many opportunities for you to love people using the gifts He has given you. Thanks for taking the time to record this message. I know everyone here wants to support you in prayer as your ministy launch date approaches. Blessings!

Thank you, Donny, for this timely and heartfelt message. Your message today, delivered with your passion and inspiration, was one that answered a question I have been asking myself a lot lately, is my use of social media benefiting or hurting me in my relationship with God and family. Emotions such as isolation, anger, doubt are entering my mind more frequently and overwhelming the emotions of caring, love and self acceptance. Valuable time and brain power are being used to contemplate the dreams of others rather than foster my own dreams and the purpose God has for me. It is so good to see you and to hear your personal message that gently intertwined with my personal thoughts. My prayers are with you on your journey of sharing God’s love and inspiration.

Donny, social media and the world views are sources of confusion. Focusing on negatively, argument's about different opinions. comparing your life to others robs your joy and peace. Doubting yourself, you listen to all the different voices following their advice and chasing dreams to achieve what they are ‘selling’, but it doesn’t bring contentment…only God can provide that. Quiet time and refocusing on God’s voice, listening to His direction is necessary and beneficial for emotional health and spiritual growth. I don’t have dreams of success, fame or money. My dream is simple…to live my best life for Christ. To reflect the love of Jesus, through sharing His word, showing compassion and kindness, and encouraging others. I hope that will be my legacy. Thank you for sharing this timely message and I pray God continues to bless and guide you on your journey.

Donny such a wonderful message, so much truth behind it , why are we here if not to give love and compassion to one another as well as ourselves, the legacy I want to leave my children is to let them know that they where loved and now they can carry that legacy forward and give it to there children …

SM is a scourge, the only good that comes from it is if it benefits the good of all and no one should have an opinion or judgement on how anyone should live their lives, with love and compassion for all…

Living my best life according to my understanding is this: Shalom. God’s method of governing is Shalom/Peace. The world has motivated humanity to scramble hard to acquire things, positions & holdings for « fulfillment ». God says, « since the Government of this universe is upon MY SHOULDERS, I’m going to show my people how to live at peace, in peace, spread peace and make peace FIRST, then everything else will be added unto them. “. It’s almost too simple to take in. Living my best life is living at peace with others and not pursuing materialism, positions, careers, a name for myself or a following. When I put things in the right order, Righteousness, Peace & Joy in the Holy Ghost (that is the Kingdom of God) every other thing will chase me down and find me! If I don’t chase money, but chase after peace through the Almighty Eternal God, favor will come upon me as a result of chasing after God. Not the other way around. I love you back Donny!

I have written 4x in the past 2 days. So, I am just going to write a short Easter message. If you all are christians, share the Easter story. Our faith is different than other religions because our God IS ALIVE!! Donny, so glad you are back. You have been missed, but I hope you got the rest you needed, and got a big jump on your van-motor home. God bless you!

It's good to hear from you again, Donny. And good to see the comments of the wonderful people drawn to Prayer Walks.

Your message reminded me of a sermon about being excellent in the little things I have tried to put into practice.

We can effect the people around us for good or ill, with our words, (I fail here often) so choose wisely. In the last year or so, I have been thanking people in their workplace, by saying "thanks for coming to work today". The responses I get are priceless. A simple thing that shows others that they matter.

We can effect people around us with our actions, like putting the grocery cart away, and grabbing one someone left out on the way. Not for recognition or to shame anyone, just because it's the right thing to do. Doing good right here, right now is the antidote to the oppression of evil. One little act at a time.

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

God's peace be with you all.

Sir, good to have you producing content again as my wife and I appreciate the way you go about expressing your ideas. Additionally, thank you for not tossing music into the bin. The song "Home" changed me and there is no doubt you have more where that came from!

On another note, in the past I tried several times to update my subscription, but it was rejected each attempt, thus I gave up. Any instruction you can provide is appreciated.

Donny, So good to see you back! The Lord is really using you to impact the world. It really empowers people to reach out to loved ones, friends and strangers to tell our story of how Jesus gave us REAL freedom.
