It is GOD who BLESSES and TRANSFORMS...

This is a blog for women (not just moms) who:

(1) Desire to be transformed by JESUS' LOVE, HOLINESS, AND GRACE;

(2) Believe that GOD'S WORD is the true Spirit food for HIS HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us;

(3) Submit to GOD and walk this journey of life with HIM transforming us more and more into HIS likeness.

It's a blog about the POWER OF TRANSFORMED LIVES. Let's begin with yours and mine and pass it on... 1 + 1 + 1...

Since GOD's HOLY SPIRIT lives inside a christian, let's choose to be nurtured and transformed by feasting daily on HOLY SPIRIT food - GOD's WORD - The Holy Bible..

My regular posts stopped in 2013, with a major move and the chronic illness and eventual death of our oldest daughter. Yes, we grieve daily, yet I am determined to continue to let the LIGHT of my LORD and SAVIOR shine through me. I have tried to start posting again, over the last few years, but have not been consistent. So, I think the biggest blessing for you and me both will be to intersperse some new posts while revisiting some of the former posts. Let's begin with "Oh, the JOY!" as we head into living through Fall 2019; meeting back here 1-2 days a week.

If you need daily encouragement, you will find plenty by clicky on past posts. When reading earlier posts, you will see that I often posted daily, following this format: ...Sunday in the SON, Meditation Monday, GratiTuesday, Women in the WORD Wednesday, Transforming Thursday, Family Fellowship Friday, Ketchup & Mustard Saturday.


There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.

Please come back and visit each week. Welcome!

Because of JESUS, we can be family,

Patti





TRANSFORMED MOMS:MOMS TRANSFORMED

Romans 12:1-2 "Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

JUST AS I AM - David Phelps style - singing another sermon right to the heart!!

This month, we're focusing on having A SONG IN OUR HEART, so we'll start with the 'S' of our R.E.A.P.S. then do A ONE, A TWO, A THREE, AND A FOUR and then finish with R.E.A.P.

S ing with the SPIRIT & UNDERSTANDING Today GOD, as we have talked, You have put this song on my heart...I give it back to YOU…YOU are so faithful...

David Phelps preaches sermons through his songs and this song is no exception. It sounds alot like Be-Attitudes 1,2, & 3:

Dear LORD,
I'm on my knees again.
I come to You because You understand!
I've tried so hard but I just can't change myself.
That's why I know I need Your help.

CHORUS:
So, here I am. This is my plea:
My only hope is Your love for me!
I'm reaching out so desperately.
Come take my hand - take all of me -
JUST AS I AM!

Oh, LORD, You make what's broken new.
Why can't I just learn to follow you?
I want to know You, feel You in my soul...
I surrender all control.

CHORUS

I am not afraid to follow You where You lead me.
I can leave the past behind me.
I'm forgiven and I'm free!

CHORUS

1...2...3...4...

A one...Being POOR IN SPIRIT...selfless...

A two...MOURNING over my sins and those who are lost...so thankful that you, GOD, see me sinless because of the blood of CHRIST...

A three...being MEEK to Your leading, GOD, as I start this new day, I give You the control...please help me not to take it back...now that I've emptied myself out, please fill me to the brim with You...keep me
submissive...

A four...HUNGRY and THIRSTY FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.... feeding/watering Your HOLY SPIRIT WHO lives inside me...reading/meditating on scripture, listening to/singing christian music, making harmonious connections with Your family and with those who You want me to connect with, doing the right thing with the attitude of CHRIST...pray, pray, pray...all day...
satisfied...


R ead, ‘rite, and repeat Scripture GOD, give me the wisdom to understand the simple thought that comes out of this verse, as I write it:

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.

E mpowered by the HOLY SPIRIT

1. GOD, as I read YOUR WORD, either those around my verse for today or other scriptures about the same topic, help them do what they’re meant to do - feed YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WHO lives within me:

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.


2. GOD, help me to react to Your Spirit’s prodding today. What are You wanting me to do with this teaching? Where are You leading me today?:

You came down to this earth and emptied Yourself out. You're asking me to do the same. You gave up heaven to come down and do this life. Now, You offer mediation, leading, forgiveness, grace, and mercy because You do understand. What a blessing that I can approach You with confidence---JUST AS I AM!!!


Attitude of CHRIST JESUS GOD, I see CHRIST-LIKE attitudes in these scriptures- please be molding them in me:

I see forgiveness, grace, and mercy; also, mediation and leading.


Pray to GOD THE FATHER GOD, please listen while I feebly pray about these thoughts: Father, I come to You again...JUST AS I AM...take all of me! I surrender all control. Lead me, guide me, live right inside me...fill me with the attitude of Christ that I see above...Thank You, Jesus!

LET US KNOW WHAT SONG GOD IS USING TO BLESS YOU TODAY!!!

"Somebody prayed for me
they had me on their mind
they took a little time and prayed for me
they got down on their knees
I'm so glad they prayed
I'm so glad they prayed for me"

"He's still working on me
to make me what I ought to be
It took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars
the Sun and the Earth and Jupiter and Mars
how loving and patient He must be
He's still working on me"
