The following picture is of me and my grandmother who I was named after. No, not Elizabeth, but DELLA. Yes, you’ve got it. But I dropped Della when I married. It was my first name, but I never went by it and it was just “there” … ya know?
I’m all legs folks … can you tell? Grandmother Della was my Mom’s mother. She was always a fancy lady. I never saw her when she wasn’t dressed nice and full of jewelry. She was the last of her siblings and she had accumulated a lot of the family jewels. The ring that now replaces my engagement ring was her sister Malvina’s ring. My Mom insisted I start wearing it last July (for my bday) and my husband was gracious enough to let me move my wedding ring to my right hand. Anyway, for you NC natives, my grandmother was raised in the mountains of NC — West Jefferson. Her mother ran a boarding house once her kids were older and out of the home.

(Ok, here is where I would have Angie’s button of the Lion of Judah, but it kept giving me some type of error message, so it will be missing today.)
I am linking with Angie at Free Spirit Haven to share prayer requests.
Right now, I have to be honest and say that other than my personal requests, the condition of our country is at the forefront of my thoughts. I don’t know how you feel about prophesies, but I recently saw one that somewhat clicked in my spirit (if that makes since). Of course the bible says that we all see in part, and we definitely have to weigh things and listen to the Holy Spirit. With that said, I heard a prophetic word given by John Kilpatrick. There is no other way for me to share the video other than sending you there. Please click HERE if you would like to watch it. John was a guest on Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural.
We really need to pray that President Obama doesn’t try to persuade Israel to sell part of her land. President Obama … God help him. God help America. I know that He has a plan and perhaps I should want America to be turned over to perversion and the anti-Christian sentiment so that Jesus will return SOON, but on the other hand, I have a daughter and I want her to have FREEDOM and a peaceful life. I know the USA is just a little part of the world community, but it is the little part I live in and I can’t stand watching what happening around me.
With that spewed out (sorry) … please pray.
On a selfish note again, please pray for my parents.
Thanks friends. Sorry for such a strange post — Photos to Prayer & Prophesy. Ha.
Have a great weekend!
The picture of you, and your grandmother is so precious sweetie. I agree with you about our country, we need to pray, pray, and pray again. I love you my friend.
What a sweet picture of you and your grandmother! You are so right about our country my friend. We need to pray now more than ever. Thank you for that reminder!
Take care my friend!
I pray you have a great weekend!
That is a beautiful picture of the two of you, I am loving that hair!! Really!
Have a beautiful day my friend
That's a priceless pic with your grandma! The post was not strange coz everything made sense, specially the need to pray for our country and the Pres. Praying for your parents…God bless.
Lookee, lookee who was able to access you blog today!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!! It's good to "see" you again my friend!!
Your grandma looks so precious. Those pics with our grandparents are priceless, aren't they?
Love ya!
Deb
That's a lovely photo and memory of your grandmother. Thanks for sharing.
And prayers to heaven for the country.
Blessings to you. Have a great weekend!
I love the picture you two…and those legs ooh la lah. My girls and I have long legs too…I think it's a blessing don't you? Have an awesome weekend. Blessings to you!
Great picture! and you are right about needing to pray urgently for our country. Please remember my son who is over in South Korea, he is suppose to come home August 7th after being over there for one year – pray against the threat of North Korea and that our President will make good choices in regard to this very serious matter and that we will not be thrust into yet another war. There is power in prayer girl … don't ever apologize for presenting your needs. God bless!
Very sweet photo.
Thanks for sharing about your daughter….adoption is an amazing thing!! Praise God.
I would give anything to have legs like yours! With me being so short…my legs are, too! Hee hee! You and your grandma are so precious together! I love the story you shared!
I totally agree with you about our President needing prayers. It weighs heavily on my mind, too! Praying hard! Love ya, girl!
Your grandmother is beautiful and classy. I love her era, they had something that a lot of women of today miss. What a photo treasure.
I'm with Tina…your grandmother is quite classy. You too look like kin…how cute. And in regards to our president…my husband and I have gotten much grief because we didn't follow the ways of others 'round here…and all I can say…is we've got to pray, pray, pray…Jesus is coming soon.
Beautiful picture of you and your grandmother.
I agree…our country needs prayer. God is not going to hold off judgement much longer. Praying.
Lovely photo, Beth…all legs, I’d say that’s a good thing. Right?
Yes, we need to pray for our president and country…God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I’ll pray for your parents
♥Hope
great pic!
thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love seeing grandmothers who are dressed perfectly with their hair done at all times. So sweet!
Amen to the second part. Our country is going down the tubes it seems and we are living in scary times. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe the things OUR President has said and done just since January. Prayer is definitely needed.
Aww, beautiful picture! That name is unique and pretty too! Thanks for the forwarding note about Obama and Israel. Now's the time we must be watching the skies. The Bible says, when all these things come to pass, lift up your head for your redemption draweth nigh 🙂
Hi Beth! How funny…before I read what you wrote, I thought to myself, "She has long legs!"
Great picture of you and your grandma!! I wish my grandkids will be able to say they saw me dressed up all the time..LOL!!
And on a serious note…yes..we have to pray for our country!! The bible says that in the end days that man will be deceived!!
Precious picture of you two, love the hair! And as I recall you are 5'10" or something. I remember being surprised because I just always thought you were shorter than me, but you're taller!
Yes, we need to be praying for our country every day! My kids are growing up in it too, and some day their kid will…..
Oh, and if i don't hit my room hard this week I won't get it done by tomorrow either. So we will see if I get it done!
Your grandmother seems like she was a very classy lady! My grandma was the same way…she said she always dressed up, even if she was just staying home!!!
How nice that you were named after her!! It's such a beautiful picture, one I'm sure you'll always treasure!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! I usually find time to blog when the kids are napping or after they're in bed…thank GOD for bedtime!!
A very precious picture to share, I am also going to watch the video thank you for sharing that.
I love that picture. I think it is funny that you dropped your first name…obviously, your parents never called you by it. Superman goes by his middle name, too.
You look so cute in the photo with your grandmother. I join you in praying for our country, our President and also for your family.
I love your hair in the picture, Beth! LOL
My grandmother was always dressed up, wearing her jewelry, too! I have one of her rings, but I don't wear it very often.
And guess what? I dropped my first name when I got married, too. What a coincidence! My middle name is not Elizabeth, though…just Beth. 🙂
I will be praying, agreeing with you regarding these requests.
Blessings…
Beth
That is such a sweet photo of you two!
I just watched the Sid Roth video. That's amazing. I really believe we are getting close to the end. Thank you for sharing.
I love the photo of you and your grandmother.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Howdy Sweet Lady
This photo brings to mind a bridge between the past,present and future .
As an Intercessor I think you might understand that we are building spiritual bridges until Jesus returns .
Prayer is so important.
Family is also important and I think your photo explains this really well.
Thank you for posting it.
I love the photo on so many levels it is so precious.
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you and yours .
Hugs
Great photo, Beth. Having long legs is great. I like mine. Used to be a problem finding long enough pants. Not anymore though.
You and your gramma look sweet. Hope you're doing well loosing those last ponds or inches that UR working on.
Read my story from yesterday. For some reason I walked 3 times this week and twice in one day. Maybe I've been inspired by folks like you. Thanks
More later
Nannette
Beth, congrats on your run for the cure! I'm proud to know you (well I sorta know you). Running is definitely a good way to shed some serious inches & pounds. Though you've lost so much it might be getting harder to drop those last pounds. I used to run, years ago. I'm walking these days.
I agree with your thoughts about the condition of our country. Pray, pray, pray…& spread the gospel.
Take care
Nannette
Love the picture….I too am praying for our country…
I enjoyed reading your blog this afternoon…
Had some time to do some blog hopping…always enjoy finding new blogs!
Hope you will visit me. This month I am posting on our Disney trip.
I'm named after my grandmother also.Angelina,,but they named me Angela…Shaneah's (one of her 3 middle names, yes 3..LOL is Angelika)
Will be praying..Even though I don't live in the States, I've been praying for your President because his decisions effects us Canadians greatly also…
