A Notice of Address Change:
Dear Family and Friends,
Please be advised that I have moved. I received a call from God, the Chief Archi-tect, this week and He informed me that my new home was complete. You all know that I have been working on my new building, sending up my timber, packing up, and getting ready to go. I knew that my mansion needed some finishing touches and that the Chief Carpenter, Jesus Christ, had to inspect it and give me the final approval. On the evening of January 22, 2018, He let me know that my mansion was complete, and I could move in. He told me to go ahead and change my address. I used to live up on Temple St. in Four Oaks, NC, but my new home is so much bet-ter than any other place I have ever lived. There is peace here, joy, happiness, no pain, no headache, no discomfort and only sweet serenity. I can dine at the Master's beautiful table and sing with the Heavenly Choir. Best of all, my Heavenly Father is here in all of his Glory!!
And oh yes, I have my own design here with custom fit white robe and wings. I could go on and on about my new home, but instead I'm going to pray that you get to move here yourself someday…..Before I go though, let me give you my new ad-dress:
Mary Sanders Bellamy
75 Heavenly Way
Godstown, Heaven 34234
P.S. I don't have a telephone or cell phone, but you can always call God. If you don't know His telephone number, read your Bible, it's listed on every page.
Love Always,
Mary Sanders Bellamy
