Who Am I?
I AM "JUST ONE.
As I approached my 50th Birthday last year, I realized that my whole life has led up to finding my identity. You see, the enemy tries to steal our identities and confuse us so we will never walk out what God (Abba) has for us here on Earth. On that day back in November, my identity crystallized before my very eyes. Suddenly, I knew that I am a daughter of the Most High God, a wife, a mother, a Complementary Alternative Health Practitioner, and a beekeeper. But at my core, was how God has always spoken to me. We all hear God differently because He is the God of Creativity and each one of us is uniquely made!
For me, God has always used His creation to speak to me and last fall was no exception. As I walked my dog and sang praises to Him that morning in early November, I felt cheated. Usually, by now, the beautiful fall foliage had peaked but due to the very wet weather, the leaves hadn’t changed much at all. In fact, many were still shades of green and brown, still clinging to their branches. There was no crisp crunching sound under my feet as I walked along the sidewalk. No leaves at all except the slimy, slippery brownish ones that smell of mold. As I walked along the valley and ascended up the "peak" of our surrounding mountains, the light filtered down and lit the path. Lost in thoughts and internal conversations with Abba, I rounded the next bend and the "burning bush" stopped me in my tracks. There among the ordinary, worn-out, sleeping stand of trees stood this magnificent red tree!

I felt Abba speaking to me, "Just One", He said. “ Look what I can do with Just One!" 2 Chronicles 16:9 came to mind. “ He searches to and fro for "Just One" He can use”. His Majesty shines through us, we become beautiful to those around us, regardless of our humanly shapes and sizes. We are drawn to the beauty when we surrender to the Creator. We do not bow down to the tree, we do not worship the tree (that is the lie), we give glory to the Creator and Author of all. I felt so unworthy this morning and ill-equipped for the task He had assigned to me, yet at that moment, I saw how He creates even when we feel our "peak' time is past. He said, "give me 'just one'" and it is never "past" anything. He left me pondering and said, "Let me show you because your heart is completely Mine."
My eyes scanned the distance looking for another tree like that in its beauty and splendor, but none was to be found on the entire mountain except the ordinary, tired, and drab trees. I asked Him what I always ask Him, "Will You show me Who You are?" I searched up and down that mountain and took a lot of pictures of mediocre examples. I even tried in my own strength to create what I thought it should look like. Yet it was not satisfying....like an artist unhappy with their work. It wasn't what I wanted. So I put my phone away and I was almost out of the woods when I looked up and saw His perfect example. There stood the perfect representation of who He is! He is the Rock, rooted so deeply and if we build on Him, out will come many strong branches, bearing much fruit. He is the ONE to build our foundation upon. I knew I was incapable of coming up with this on my own. Again, only the Great Creator could show me what I was looking for! We all have our assignments. He equips each of us as individuals but we are supported by the same Root. We cannot go out and look it for it. We cannot force it. It is His artistry. This is His Creation. He has created "The Red Egg”. He is now asking for you to partake in His plan, send His word out across America, and give His creation life.
Why a red egg?
The Red Egg was born on March 4, 2019. While on my knees praying, I heard the Father say, “RED EGG”. Huh??? RED EGG? “What does that mean, Abba”? Allow me to backtrack to the morning of February 23, 2019 and I’ll explain what happened.
That fateful morning during prayer, God showed me a picture in my mind of an egg with many people streaming into it. He explained that all of the people streaming into the egg were like sperm, trying to be the ONE to fertilize it. His message was this…”Today is a Day of Mourning in Albany, New York, but it is also a Day of Conception!” God’s Spirit was moving and He asked me what He now asks you, “Will you carry this ‘baby’, this ‘assignment’ to full term? Will this place of Conception find a warm, fully mature ‘body’ ready for implantation or will it just pass through as just another PERIOD in your life? One among many that you will not remember? Have you been anticipating, praying ‘for such a time as this?” This is the time of pregnancy and preparing for the birth and revival of something new - New Life to our Country. A revival, a rebirth - and an end to sacrificing our unborn in American!
Fast forward to Monday, March 4, 2019; my heart was heavy as I asked Him, “What can I do to be about your business, Abba? It is just me. I am just one. I posted my video, relating what You have asked. ”Will My people be ready for this new movement? This new birth? Will My people truly repent and turn from their wicked ways”? As I sat there, in the early morning, weeping for the unborn who have no voice, I prayed and picked up my journal and noticed it was once again snowing in upstate New York. My mind went back to EGGS! Eggs have always symbolized birth, rebirth, spring and fertility throughout the ages. As I sat there and pondered eggs and their significance, as well as the meeting place of the Day of Mourning and Conception underneath the “Egg” in Albany, God again brought to mind a Red Egg! You just don’t see red eggs in the Easter baskets of Americans so I Googled “Red Eggs”. I was surprised to find a Chinese tradition of giving red eggs and ginger at parties to babies a month after birth. (This tradition stems from long ago when infant survival rates were low and babies’ births weren’t celebrated until they passed the first month of life and their mothers had rested in confinement).
