FINALLY!!!!

After 110 days of hospitalization, my brother was FINALLY RELEASED!!! Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you JESUS!!!!! We serve a miracle working, prayer answering God!!!! 🙏 💕 
My brother is still in remission from Leukemia after his relapse in 2021 and should never have it again since he got his transplant this last time. However, there can still be health complications that come from Chemo, that not only destroys cancer, but can damage your overall body as well and also he will always have a compromised immune system from chemo, radiation, the transplant, etc…
.
He went in early October of 22 because I forget what it’s called, but my cells I gave him attacked his stomach because the doctors took him off his immune suppressant to see if he was still in remission and it just led from one virus 🦠 to another and another, I can’t keep track of everything he had while he was in there! The only thing I remember was at one point he had CMV which I had tested was in my immunity dormant but became active in him, I only remember cuz one of my brothers said it stands for CRAZY MARY VIRUS 🦠 LOL 😝  
.
Then he kept having all this pain and more infections and they finally figured out that he had to get his gallbladder out but they were scared to do the surgery on him because of his health but they finally decided they had to do it for him to ever get better ❤️‍🩹 Buuuuuuut then they had to ween him off of some medication that stops wounds from healing etc…
.
Buuuuuuut he had the surgery on February 13th and was able to return home on February 22nd!!!! 
Special thanks to Lizzy for being such a gooooooood wife to my little brother!!!! We were blessed when you became a Ginty!!! 🤗 ( plus, when I stayed with him when he was 16, that’s when my weight got up to 408… soooooo better you than me my lovely little sister!;)

And reunited with his kids!!! 🥰 
.
Really we are soooooo thankful!!!! There were times we really didn’t know the outcome, buuuuuuut sorry mom, it looks like you’re going to have to wait a little longer to see your favorite son!!!! 😂 
.
and my oil is at 40% sooooooooo that’s how long he has to fully recover…. I literally almost blew my engine waiting for him to get out in December till I finally broke down and took it to cobblestone!!! The guy was liiiiiike there’s absolutely NO OIL in here!!! Soooooooo yeah…that would’ve been all on you John!!! 
.
My payment to you for doing my oil is FREE COOKING LESSONS!!!!! Bahahahahaaa;)

Experiencing THE POWER!!!!

Growing up in Pentecost, there have been many times I've experienced the power of God in my life. Many church services where there was never preaching because we just began praying during the song service and got lost in the presence of God. There have been powerful tongue interpretations withing my own church and conferences. There have been times where God has spoken direct truths into my heart that I needed to hear! I've seen God transform lives, buuuuuuuuuuut there are two times above all the others that stand out to me more than all the rest.
.
1. One year at a youth conference, there was a powerful move of God during preaching. The preacher said everyone that has the Holy Ghost take a lap around the building. Well since it was a Pentecostal conference, just about the whole entire conference was taking a lap around the building. As we ran the preacher said, the Holy Ghost is going to take over in some of you all before you even fully make it around the building and I was one of thost people. Before I got back to my seat I was slain in the spirit at the altar. I had seen this happen to other people but never in my life experienced this and to be perfectly honest, i was a little scared. In all of my life I have never felt a force so strong that I had absolutely no control, I could not move my arms or body, it was like the spirit of God had pinned me down and there was nothing I could do. I was going through a really hard time in my life and it was like God was letting me know just how completely powerful he is. Nothing happens in our lives that is out of his control and he is truly an all-powerful God that we should not bother fighting against but should submit to. I just laid there completely in awe of God's power!!! 
2. Another time the power of God has stood out to me was several years ago I went with my sister to a farmer's market and we're walking along looking all the craft and food vendors items. As we walked along there was a palm reading vendor, to be honest I really didn't think anything of the lady and wasn't really even paying too much attention to her. I wasn't scared of her, I wasn't going to be rude to her, I really wasn't thinking about anything much other than; I hope some of these food vendors have some good free samples. As we walked, my sister was on the left side of me and I was on the right, closest to the palm reader but there was still going to be a good space between us as I walked by, it's not like we were going to bump into each other as I walked by. 
.
And I probably would have walked by without ever again remembering walking by this palm reader, but something happened that I will never forget. As I walked by, that palm reader jolted backwards like as if i had slapped her hard. Yet it was more than that, it was like this electrical force had jolted her back in pain and I don't even know if she as a human knew what had just happened to her.  I was so surprised at her reaction and yet i instantly knew what had happened; I hadn't said a word to her. I hadn't touched her. I hadn't made eye contact with her. I hadn't avoided looking at her, I was just nonchalantly walking by thinking about FOOD, but I KNEW what had just happened!!!  The spirit inside of her had felt the Holy Ghost inside of me and did not want to be near God's spirit.
.
That moment has stood out to me as another moment of JUST HOW POWERFUL GOD IS!!! But more than that, was the correlation between the two events. In the first God's power pinned me down and I had no control but in the second, unbeknownst to me as to what was going to happen, the power inside of me to authority over a palm reader.  When we get the Holy Ghost, that SAME POWER that pinned me to the ground and I had no control over is literally living inside of us. Oh yes, I know the Holy Ghost is the spirit of God living inside of us. Buuuuuut do we ever stop to think about how much power we have living inside of us as well???
.
 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
(Ephesians 3:20) 
.
So often we forget with this scripture that it also says, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US...We have that same spirit that makes demons jump back and tremble LIVING IN US!!! We have the power of God but we don't even realize it! We live our lives not realizing that we have power and authority in the Holy Ghost, and the devil likes that, BUT GOD wants us to tap into His power in our lives. If you have the Holy Ghost, YOU ARE NOT A WEALKING!!!! Ask God to help you to realize his awesomeness, his power in this world and his power living inside of you! Ask him to help you to not just let that power sit there but to us that power in your life to live an overcoming, victorious life and also to use it to bring more souls into His kingdom!!! 
.
"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee... For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:6-7)

Still he LOVED YOU!!!

Jesus loves YOU!!! 
As I've talked about recently, In 2021, one of the hardest things happened, one of my best friends chose to leave and go their own way. I was completely devestated but after a few months I had a few things to say to my friend that I felt like I just really needed to say. IF YOU KNOW ME, you know that when it's all said and done, I will NOT hold back from speaking my mind. 
.
I told my friend I want you to know that Jesus STILL loves you. And I told them, let me tell you something, when you chose to leave, I have never been more shocked about anything in my whole entire life!!!  I was blindsided, caught off guard, buuuuuuut God wasn’t. God knew these decisions you would make, and he loved you anyways. God is omniscient, all knowing, yet even knowing the choices you would make, he still chose to love you. 
.
 I said, Had it been me that had known the future, I don’t know that I would have allowed myself to become best friends with you! I would have tried to protect myself from the hurt I would one day feel when you made this decision to leave! I hate to say it but it’s true… my love is not perfect, like God’s love!   
.
I think 🤔 I would have said, eh, they'll one day walk away from the things of God. Why bother taking the time to hang out with them, they're leaving anyways, what’s the point? Why risk the heartbreak of knowing they’ll one day be gone and out of my life, I’ll just find someone else to be friends with!  That's ME!!! Sorry if it sounds rude or mean buuuuuuuuut it's the truth-Had I known the future like God, as an imperfect human, I would have chosen differently.
.
Buuuuuuuuuuut NOT GOD!!!!
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
.
God looked ahead in time as he hung on the cross, he saw you right now, doing whatever it is your doing at this very moment, and he still loved you!!! God knew every choice you would ever make, and he died for you anyways!!! Good knew, yet he still sent a Pentecostal family to live across the street from a little four-year-old boy! God knew every choice you would ever make, but his love still called you out! 
.
Isn't it so amazing to think, that an ALL-KNOWING God, would still choose to still choose to love us???
.
And maybe there is someone reading this today and you feel like you messed up or made to many mistakes- You turned your back on God or you thought you knew better than what others advised you to do. You gave into your flesh or to peer pressure. BUT JESUS STILL LOVES YOU!!!  God doesn't condone sin, but he still loves you, all you have to do is repent.  
.
God knew from the first time he ever called your name, every good and bad choice you would make, yet he chose you anyways! He knew when he hung on the cross every bad decision you would make, and he died for you anyways. There is forgiveness at an altar of repentance. Jesus loves you!!! 
.
Humans may reject you, BUT God's love is not like human love, His love is perfect, and he is reaching for you. You’re his little lost lamb 🐑 that has left the fold, he still has the 99, but that’s not enough, he wants you too! Just cry out to him and ask him to help you and he will come rescue you! Come home, the shepherd is waiting for you! JESUS LOVES YOU!!! He loves you. He loves you. He loves YOU!!!
.

CMM at the restroom #4857363111

So one time, I met up with one of my friends and this adorably quaint little bakery restaurant in North Scottsdale called, Sugar Jams, you guys, this place is AMAZING, i'll be doing a review on them SOON and you all will be heading on over there when you read about their scrumptiousness, buuuuuuuuuuuuut TODAY, let me tell you about the CLASSIC MARY MOMENT that happened yesterday!!! AHAHAHA!!!
.
Sooooooooo after we're done eating, my friend and I are leaving, but I decide to go back in to take pics of this cute place AND use the restroom...two cups off coffee annnnnd its POTTY TIME folks...lol...sooooooo I go in and find the restrooms.
.
I look down the hall and see both doors for both bathrooms, I look at both of them BEFORE I go in and THEN walk into the bathroom that is FOR ME!!!
I walk in and am thinking OH wow even the bathroom is CUTE...Awwww....buuuuuuuuuuuut WAIT...
WHY IS THERE A URINAL IN THE LADIES ROOM???
OMW, even this adorable lil bake shop in Scottsdale is trying to be Gender neutral friendly...PSsssh... I TELL YOU...
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO???
Then BEFORE I head into the stall, as a slight after thought, I think, THIS IS the right bathroom, RIGHT??? Soooooooo I pop my head back out the door and stare at it, YES, this IS indeed the right bathroom,
M
 M for Mary...
OH WAIIIIIIIIIT...
M is FOR MEN,
NOT MARY!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Yes really you guys, I went in THE MEN'S restroom, BECAUSE, M IS FOR MARY!!!
I mean, in defense of my MARYNESS, if you really think about it, it IS easy to get confused BECAUSE, most restrooms SAY the whole word MEN on it, NOT JUST an M...and the lil pic of the dude...lol...OKAAAAAAAY anyone with an M could make this mistake...RIGHT??? I mean, I have an ADORABLE M sweater... LOL You would think after THIS CMM HERE at Chic-fil-A all those years ago, that I would remember that urinals mean i'm in THE WRONG bathroom, buuuuuuuut all these years later and I STILL get confused!!! BAHAHAHA!!!
♥Mary Frances :)
P.S. The WOMAN'S room is EVEN CUUUUUTERRR than the men's...

I'll rejoice with you when you get your spouse and baby, can you please be happy for me that I got ANOTHER new dress instead???? AHAHAHAHAAHAAA!!!
6. When people use manipulation to try and get me to do something. "We don't have a lot of money, so we were wondering if you could bring the steak tonight!" Look, I RARELY say no to people when they ask me to bring something, if you want me to JUST ASK...I don't need a free guilt trip with it! Or when people try to use my emotions to manipulate me into something even after I said NO! I rarely say no, SOOOOOO...IF I said no, IT's NO! Or I love the, "Do you want to be a blessing and________________________????" Actually, I KINDA wanted a blessing tonight...AHAHAHAHA!!!
7. When people don't eat my cooking
8. When people are wasteful with my cooking
9. When people don't use blinkers
10. When girls use guys to pay for their meal or flirt to get a discount or free drink! Seriously, that is soooooo ghetto and cheap and I'm the QUEEN OF FREE buuuuuuut that's one thing I will NOT do!!! My mom would reach outta heaven with her cane and bop me a good one for that!!! (Still remember her making me give back that hot-pink-razor-phone a guy I didn't like gave me for my birthday...You don't like him Mary!

(I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack, buuuuuuuut there IS A DIFFERENCE between a child and dumb animal- The main difference being I actually care about one and NOT the other...jus sayin!!!) 
21. MOOCHERS!!! I may not be the best with my money, buuuuuuuuut I don't get people to buy things for me, wasteful or NOT, everything I buy is with MY OWN MONEY!!!

You can trust me!

I sat in the rocking chair at our house staring off into nothingness sobbing. I would never trust anyone again, my best friend for the past 8 year of my life was gone, just like that GONE!!! With just a text, “you’ve been a good friend, But I have some decisions to make, that only I can make, I hold nothing against you or anyone at church. And just like that, without any real explanation, my best friend was out of my life, and I honestly didn’t think I would ever trust anyone again. It’s not that I didn’t want to trust, I just didn’t think I could! 
.
I’ve always had issues with trusting people. I had not allowed myself to be a cynical person but there was a wall from growing up in a somewhat broken home and a lot broken promises. (Not from my mom! She lived this until she breathed her last breath!) But life, it just happens.
.
I remember talking to my one and only ex-boyfriend on the phone, not sure WHY we were talking if we had just broken up buuuuuuut you know broken hearts 💔 are stupid, and my last words to him were, well I don’t trust you! And that pretty much nailed the coffin to our relationship permanently shut. Your word is your word. Don't say things you can't fulfill, and the wedding dress was dropped off as a donation to Savers the local thrift store.
.
But not trusting people had started long before him. It started as a little girl's dreams of a whole family going to church together were shattered. A little girl who heard promises broken over and over and over again. By the time I was 15 I stopped believing that just because someone said something meant they would really do it. As I got older it was friendships that got tossed aside for another person. It wasn't something I really spoke about to other people, it was just something inside of me, I dis-trusted people. I may have had been friends with EVERYONE, but that didn't mean I trusted them. 
.
But then I made friends with someone that was so different than anyone I had ever known. They lived for God despite their circumstances and the home they lived in. They seemed slow and steady and above all else, faithful. Usually, when people teased guy friends about me, POOF, the friendship was instantly gone, but he still stayed my friend despite what anyone said. He always pushed me towards the things of God and encouraged me to develop stronger Godly character. There was never worldliness or from what I could see a desire for ungodly things.  I told him one time, I don't trust very easily, so this is kind of a big thing for me to say, but I trust you more than just about anyone i know, and I really did. 
.
It NEVERRRRR once crossed my mind that he would backslide. Him leaving was not a nightmare come true, because I never once in the 8 years we were friends thought he would leave. But he did and when he left, momentarily, so did any grain of trust I had for any human did too.
"you’ve been a good friend, But I have some decisions to make, that only I can make..."
I just sat in the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, staring into nothingness and crying. In my mind I thought, I don't think I can ever get married now. Not because I didn't want to find someone, but because I didn't think I'd ever trust another human again. I started thinking about friends and was beginning to thing, eh, I should just let them go before they hurt me to. It was like the last thread of trust in humanity I had snapped when my friend left and I could no longer trust any human again. 
.
It wasn't that I didn't want to live for God, that thought has NEVER entered my mind, it was just like, I'm going to have to do this without anyone else because everyone just keeps proving I can't trust them. As I sat there, I could feel complete distrust and cynicism creeping into my heart as I sat in that rocking chair rocking. 
.
I wanted to pray, but all I could say, was, "God, who can I trust now? God who can I trust? Who can I trust? God who can I trust? Over and over and over again I kept asking him that rhetorical question. 
Who can I trust? 

And then I heard it,
softly and quietly,
JESUS whispered to my heart,
"You can trust me!" 
.
It was so clear and so real to me, Jesus told me, I could trust him. And in that moment, the cynicism I had been feeling evaporated from around me. The flood gates of my heart opened up, "I trust you Jesus, I trust you. I put my trust in you Jesus." That moment was a turning point of my healing. TRULY, I can trust Jesus. In a crazy, messed up world, I know who I can trust.  
.
 There are times that even though I may not outwardly show it, inside I am still leery of people, but I know that if I seek after Jesus, he will lead me and guide me to the right people in my life. He told me I could trust him and I know that I can. 
.
I'm telling you guys, people may have failed you, but you can trust in Jesus! He is unshakable and unwavering. He will never leave you or forsake you. Don't let cynicism take over your life. I believe that the devil would have loved it if I had become a cynic, because ultimately, distrust towards all people will end up in distrust towards God. And you can't run this race on your own, God made us to need each other. The family of God is part of your journey to heaven. No matter how many times we're hurt, we need to learn to trust again. Ask God to lead you to the right people. 
.
You can trust Jesus, 
I KNOW,
Because when I didn't think I would ever trust again, 
he whispered those words to my broken heart!!! 
.
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."

Did you use that???

I was telling the ladies and girls stories from back in the day, WHEN I WAS YOUNG, i mean if you think I'm cRaZy now, you would not believe how much i've matured since my time as a teenager!!!! Sooooo here's me BACK IN THE DAY!!! 
.
I come walkin out of the bathroom at Chick-fil-A this one time with my youth group...
.
So I use the bathroom and come out and Micheal, one of the guys who is usually on the quieter side, is like, "Did you just use that?" I'm like, "uh, Yeah!" So he is like you used THAT bathroom? I'm like, YES! He's like, so you actually used the toilet in there? I'm just like thinkin, okaaaaaaay enough questions about my bathroom use! Liiiiiiiiiike aren't we getting a LITTLE PERSONAL??? So I respond with some  attitude, "Uh yeah, I used that bathroom! WHY?!" 
.
He very simply & calmly says, "Because, thats the Men's." 
.
AHAHAHA! I was like, OMW! I can't believe I just went into the MEN'S room AND used it without even realizing it!!! We were all like HYSTERICAL laughing! Then I was like... 
.

Bad Matchmaking-By Odin Ginty Case #8475621111

Sooooooo if I haven't told you all this already, Odin is the world's MOST AWKWARD AND HORRIBLE matchmakerrrrrrr EVERRRRRRRR!!! Buuuuuuuuuut it's a better matchmaking moment in his life IF the person, which he is TRYING TO MATCH YOU WITH, is at least NO WHERE AROUND TO HEAR HIS MATCHMAKING!!! I mean, that's literally the MOST YOU CAN HOPE FOR WITH HIS MATCHMAKING SKILLS!!!!
.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll a few months ago we were at a play at Hale Theatre and he turns to me and says OOOOOOOOH AUNT MARY.
There's a CHOCOLATE man for you!!!
.
Sooooooooooooo I look over to Odin's matchmaking man, THANKFULLY sittting the completely opposite side of the building, and see a handsome. fluffy, chocolate man...

He looked like a chocolate teddy bear!!!
I mean HAD HE BEEN IN CHURCH, i may possibly have been a good match, except for one BIG detail...
.
I said, YES ODIN, annnnnnnnnnnd he also has his arm around...
HIS WIFE!!! 
He's like, ooooooooh,
Sorry about that Aunt Mary!!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
