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."

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

Today is another Sunday in the SON. Thanks for stopping by! I just want you to know that GOD loves you. This is the time of year when many people begin fighting depression. It usually comes with the changing of the seasons. October is National Depression Screening month. Take a deep look at your spiritual life. If that's where you need to start, you've come to a good place. If you think that your depression may be physical and/or related to the changing of the seasons, then I suggest that you google where the nearest depression screening to you is taking place right now.

The songs on our playlist this week represent songs about our GOD that have really ministered to me over the years. They certainly have the common theme of a very active, loving, living, great GOD and SAVIOR. I get stuck on a song and sing it over and over for a year or so. The two previous years, I have focused on the songs HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD and MY SAVIOR, MY GOD. This year, it is I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES. Previous years it's been, FAITHFUL LOVE, BECAUSE HE LIVES, AWESOME GOD, OUR GOD HE IS ALIVE, JESUS, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NAME... I'm always focused on BECAUSE HE LIVES and FAITHFUL LOVE. Here are the words to the first 3 songs on the playlist. I hope that this will be a place you can come back to this week, turn on the playlist and follow along with the words here.


HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD
.
The splendor of a King,

clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
.

All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light,
and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
.


How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
.


Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

.
The Godhead Three in One

Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

.
Name above all names

Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

.
How great is our God,

sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, how great is our God
.
MY SAVIOR, MY GOD
.
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Savior
.
I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For Him to be my Savior
.
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, but once did I
Before I knew my Savior
.
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be
.
Yes, living, dying; let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior
.
That He would leave his place on High
And come for sinful men to die
You count it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
.
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is,
My God He's always gonna be (x6)
My Savior lives, My Savior loves
My Savior lives, My Savior loves
.
I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES
.
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
and Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
and Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
.
Well I know my Redeemer lives I know my Redeemer lives:
All of creation testifies This life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives, yeah.
.
The very same God that spins things in orbit runs to the weary,
the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
.
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within we cry
I know my Redeemer,
He lives To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I'll proclaim
.
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and There's an empty grave.
.
And I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer,
.
I know my Redeemer
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
I know that I know that I know that I know that I know my redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
I Know I know He lives He lives yeah,
yeah I spoke with him this morning
He lives He lives, the tomb is empty,
He lives I gotta tell everybody
.
