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."

PEOPLE NEED THE LORD: OTHERWISE LIFE IS A TERMINAL MESS!


"CLEAN UP ON AISLE 13!"
Who spilled the Ketchup and Mustard
all over the aisle?
.
Life can be such a mess!
.
Life can be: so full of questions... so full of challenges... so full of misunderstandings... so full of disagreements... so devastating!
.
.
What do people do who don't have the LORD?!?!?!!!
  • He's the great CLEANER UPPER!
  • He's the PEACE WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE
  • He's the ROCK TO STAND ON when the waves are 8 feet high!
  • He's the PROVISION when there is no money, no food, no shelter!
  • He's the GREAT PHYSICIAN when there is no health!
  • He's the FRIEND in the midst of broken relationships!
.
.
It's been a really rough week!
For some of you much more than me.
I have experienced a lot of the things
mentioned above this week.
I know without a doubt
that I would have laid down the towel
if I did not have the LORD.
.
As Steve and I sat in Steve and Karelle's living room and talked with them about Marcel's death, Karelle shared with us a song that is ministering to them. As I have listened to this song over and over in the last 48 hours it has ministered to me, too.
.
I am convinced that I need to share this with you.
Some of you have already faced job cuts...
some of you suspect that they are
just around the bend...
.
Others of you are facing:
loosing your home...
chronic pain...
cancer...
betrayal by a loved one...
overwhelming sadness...
severe anxiety...
stress, stress, stress...

.

This song reminds us once again how much

PEOPLE NEED THE LORD!

.

The first one minute 35 seconds of the video clip are words. If you don't have time to read the words, then just drag the little dot over to 1:35 and start there. Be sure and pause the playlist songs before pushing play on the video!

Be Blessed!

BEFORE THE DAY SLIPS AWAY
by Newsong
.
Verse 1:
Last night while I was sleeping,
You were watching over me
While I dreamt about tomorrow,
You knew my every need.
Now another day is waiting
For me to make it through
There's no way that I could face it without You!
CHORUS:
Before the day slips away,
I want to stop and say I love You, I love You.
Before the world rushes in again
I want to stop and say,
There is none above You
There is none above You
I'll just be still and know that You are God.
Be still and know that You are God.
VERSE 2:
There is something about the morning,
The stillness of it all
That calls my heart to hear You,
When You gently call
Now another day is waiting,
For me to make it through
There's no way I could face it without You
SING CHORUS AGAIN
Here I am in Your presence,
Where I long to be
Alone with You in the silence
Rain down Your love and Your mercy.
Whisper softly...to me..........................
Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say I love you, I love you
Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say I love you, I love you

SING CHORUS AGAIN

I have been thinking of you and the Pierre-Jaques family all week. Also of our sister who asked for prayers about her job, MP and her God stop, my sister in AR, and it goes on and on. I still cling to my God and take comfort in his eyes seeing me and his hand touching me. Thanks for the song.
