When we felt God calling us to move up to the poconos, I felt SURE that it was God leading us but when it was time to sit before our pastor, what went from a sure calling became a feeble maybe. My home church was my comfort blanket for me, running to them faster than running into prayer. They were the church that held an important part in my salvation. They became my adoptive family. How would I survive without them, would we?
The Poconos became my future home dreams when my nanny took the family up to the lake while I was young. I was a child who hated the heat but when we came up the breeze was beautiful despite it being a hot summer, the rural layout, the nature, the relaxed feel. Like I said, when I grew up I believed I was gonna move to the Poconos, I was so inlove with the idea. About 17 years later and it became a reality for Scott and I. We were excited for the opportunity, but when I felt and saw how concerned and heartbroken our pastor was it broke my heart.
Pastor Rick’s a great leader and a father figure to Scott and I. He helped Scott get his driving license, Counseled us before and after marriage, baptized us, married us all our children were dedicated under his leadership, and he has just been there for our family through alot of storms and all. It almost felt like we were breaking up with the church, But it was never that. I dare imagine if thats how Peter felt when Jesus told his disciples that he would be handed over to be crucified.
What Pastor Rick started in us was a great and beautiful work, and God has been causing what Pastor helped start, to now grow. The disciple Peter and our Pastor were both coming from a place of love and concern, but God was doing a work nobody knew yet, not even us. So many times since moving up here, even i, questioned if we made the right choice.
We didnt know God was bringing us into a land He was preparing for us, I see that now; 4 years later and we now own a homestead nestled on a lovely piece of earth near that lake we visited with our nanny when I was a child. All the desires in my heart have been growing to fruition and I give all glory to God.
My point,
What I have learned over the years is not everybody who speaks into you is coming from a good place like Pastor Rick or the diciple Peter. Learn to recognize the difference. We are made in God’s image and just as God spoke life into existence, we harvest that same power. Protect yourself from those that try and speak seeds of doubt into your mind. These seeds may look like, “Are you sure?” ” I dont think…” “But, what if”
Not everybody wants to see you prosper and grow which is why we are told “Dont throw your Pearl’s before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and attack you!” Matthew 7:6
Protect yourself by protecting your pearls! If anyone has already spoken doubt into your dreams and plans, forgive them because they do not know the will of your Heavenly Father, but also remind yourself. You can. You will, because with God ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! Speak THAT, Speak life! Amen

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But think of if you
added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more,
“pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could
definitely be one of the best in its niche. Excellent
blog!
These are the comments that I truly appreciate and read to the littles. Thank you for the wonderful suggestion slash confirmation. thoseGilligans have been talking about wanting to make videos to post on the blog. I’m not well versed in that area yet, but I’m willing to learn and try either way. So thank you very much again!!
<3 ThoseGilligans
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to
make a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t
seem to get nearly anything done.
I’m currently going through that very same battle. Have you found anything that helps to keep you on task?
We relate, we don’t judge
Much love, ThoseGilligans
I have read so many articles regarding the blogger lovers however
this piece of writing is actually a pleasant
piece of writing, keep it up.
Thank you <3
Love ThoseGilligans and lovers lol
Hello, i read your blog from time to time and
i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any
assistance is very much appreciated.
Once you flag it as Spam it’s considered such. I haven’t figured a way to stop it yet which has slowed down my response time when it comes to answering comments lol.
You can make it that all comments must be approved before posting so you don’t have spam in your comment section. Hope that helps abit. Drop that blog link so I can check it out and support. Thank you for visiting
Love ThoseGilligans

Hi there Dear, are you actually visiting this web site on a
regular basis, if so after that you will absolutely take fastidious experience.
I don’t 😭😭😭😭
I was just telling another reader how much I struggle in consistency when it comes to investing time in my craft. Maybe I should consider setting an alarm for a time that I can sit and visit the site or post up a new blog post. It’s not like I don’t have many pieces waiting, I just haven’t had the motivation to post them.
Maybe you’ll change that for me, do you come here often?
Hey there exceptional website! Does running a blog like this require a lot of work?
I’ve no expertise in computer programming but I
had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please
share. I understand this is off topic but I just had to ask.
Thanks!
I don’t believe wanting to know how to grow in whatever, is off topic, on a blog that kind of focus’ on growth in different aspects.
I myself don’t know much about computers or technology which is what brought me to use the platforms I have to build my website.
For me personally, WordPress has been a great aid and partner in building my webpage.They also offer tutorials and classes on the different things that go into building your site. As I continue to grow and learn my craft I will be SURE to pass it along to whomever finds their selves wondering.
I hope I helped in your questioning. When it comes down to it, don’t wait for what you think is the right time…. Just do it… And enjoy the learning parts on the way
With much love and encouragement

Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author
for your site. You have some really good articles and I believe I would
be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load
off, I’d love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to
mine. Please shoot me an email if interested. Thanks!
Send us an email with some examples of your writings and we’ll be in touch. thosegilligans@gmail.com
Much love of course
First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Many thanks!
Personally I’d want to start of with my truth, which is that I struggle with consistency. I’m sure better writers out there are able to consistently set aside time to invest within their craft, but for me sometimes I can go weeks in the writers block but then suddenly be hit with something that “I need to write that down”
Now as far as Inspiration, that can be found anywhere. Maybe a quiet place, a safe place for you. When writing, the way I clear my thoughts are by writing them down!!
Alot of what you read are my thoughts. Atleast as organized as I can make them.
For the first 10-15 minutes I challenge you to write down every thought. Write as it flows. See where that takes you and what you have, maybe your expansion of your thoughts will present itself as the perfect context for your ideas.
What got you to your conclusion…
With Much love from ThoseGilligans <3

I do believe all the concepts you’ve offered for your post.
They are very convincing and can certainly work.
Still, the posts are too short for novices. May you please extend them a bit from next time?
Thank you for the post.
So first lets talk about that word “Novice”
Novice-a person new to or inexperienced in a field or situation.
So just like a baby eats soft food as a novice eater, usually those who are new to this type of content will do best to appreciate the quick and easily digestable content. There will be longer post that those who are more inclined to much words like yourself will appreciate.
But then again we’ll have to see, wont we. Stay tuned
Do come again and share your thoughts
with much love and appreciation from ThoseGilligans
