Eudora

Greetings, My name is Eudora. What does my name mean? Eudora is a very rare female first name and a very rare surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census). This name Eudora ..e(u)-do-ra.. was given to me because my parent's liked the pastor's wife name which was the same. My name means, 'Beloved of God' I am the seventh child to my mother, in a family of nine. I am the third and last daughter to my mother.

All my life has been one lived in darkness until the year 2005. I was born again in Yahushua (Christ Jesus), at the beginning of that year in January but I do not know which day it was. I was in the midst of planning my own suicide when our Creator intervened. He reached down from the portal of heavens window and took hold of my hand and led me into the light, by the word of His truth.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

What that means is: His powerful written scripture, which is the words that He spoke to those folks, it is sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is incapable of being influenced by His Word.

I now seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and His will, in all things each and every single day. I believe that God spoke to Moses, Noah and others throughout history and believe that He speaks to others here and now. I enjoy a daily relationship with my Father God 24 hours a day. I am living the life eternal. I abide in Him and He abides in me and it makes no difference where I am in the here, now or later, for I am with Him already. I believe in praise worship and I am a watch woman for His return.

I have been married for 27 wonderful years and in 2007 my husband and I renewed our vows in full dress because 25 years prior, we had gotten married in Reno, Nevada and now that I was born again, I wanted to be married in a church.

My husband still isn't walking the way I would like him to be, but he may very well be right where God wants him to be. God is God and I am dirt. It is not my day to judge, but it is my day to continue to get to know The Judge that is coming. As for me and my house, 'this day' I shall serve the Lord. My husband is a wonderful man and loves me without reservation and I love him.

Together, we have four children, and six grandchildren. My husband adopted my four children as his own and is and I think will always be the better parent. They are all grown of course and live here and there and they are all happy and doing well.

I donate time to drive the Senior Bus in my area and love it because I used to work with the elderly as I was a CNA for almost ten years. I lost so many people right in a row that I basically got out of that because of the anguish of it all. I do take on clients now, one at a time for private care and stay with that client until they pass away. Driving the Senior Bus gives me time to go play and visit with the elderly that I have always loved ever since I was a child. I have always had elderly friends. My last client who just passed, missed celebrating her 100th birthday by just a few months. (2008)

During the time that I lost so many folks while full fledge in the CNA, I also lost my mother-n-law who was my closest and most dearest friend. Two months after she passed, my father did and then my mother a year later.

Death and loss play a tremendous roll on the heart. In 2005, I had grieved so much for all those that I had lost and then my son turned on me and refused to have anything to do with my husband or myself. I think he still has some issues because he doesn't have a very good relationship with his sister. But, in 2005, I had had enough and decided that I was going to take myself out of this world. The loss in the relationship with my son, was the worst part that life had piled on my plate. I realized much later that it wasn't so much that I wanted to die, but I just didn't want to live. In January of that year, I was in that process and you wouldn't be surprised who showed up. God reached down from the portal of heaven and pried open my heart with one verse.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

He knew that I was planning to separate my body from my soul and spirit. He had a purpose and a plan for my life that had not been completed yet and so He just showed up. Once I realized that He loved me, I became so filled with joy that I became more alive than I had ever been in my life and now more than anything, I wanted to live, and not for anyone else but only for the audience of One. HIM!

He has taught me many things by the power of His Spirit which lives in me. It wasn't until about a year and a half later that I was actually baptized in the Holy Spirit, but I was getting to know Him all along by reading His word and learning all about Him and how He moves folks along in their common daily walk. I had been baptized in water almost a year after Yahowah intervened in my life when I was trying to do away with it, but it was after I was baptized in His spirit, that I really began to flourish. As I began to study His word, I saw how He intervened in other people's lives, I saw and read how He keeps His promises and keeps His word. I saw how He would send judgment to those who disobeyed. I learned about how He sent His Son, to reconcile mankind back to Him who were lost because of disobedience because sin entered the human race when Adam and Eve gave away their dominion. I read where He blesses those who do stay in obedience and shows His favor upon their lives and more importantly, how He never leaves them.

I study pretty much most of each day and even some through the hours of darkness. I love deep studies and share them with anyone who would like them. My life revolves around what God would have me do each day, where I can be of service to Him in what ever capacity He desires for this vessel. On Thursday's, I am found spending most of the day writing a book which came to me in a dream. I started this book in 2008.

Our Creator God will use His written scriptures, or possibly some other supernatural way to reach out to us to let us know who He is. He will show us His purpose and plan that He has for our life. His name is Yahowah. Let all who has breath give Glory to His name.

This is what He did for me. He made the difference. Where I wanted to be out of this world that is filled with ugliness and evil and lies, He came and took me out of all that darkness and now His light shines in me and through me and now I have a promise of eternal life. My life is a constant overflowing abundance of truth and light and I am filled to the brim and overflowing with His unfailing love. O, yes there have been some not so good days. I will not deny that, but through those darkened days, I have learned to depend upon His love. He has lifted me up and I have overcome all that has tried to kill me and hold me captive against my will. All because of His love for me. I have learned to trust in Yah'shua and His nail pierced hands.

My prayer is that in the footsteps that I leave would cause many to believe that the God of Abraham that I cling to is the only God, King of kings and Lord of lords. His name is Yahushua , Risen Savior to the world. I pray that as all folks research their roots that they begin to understand that they can only dig as far as the roots to the Tree of Life.
