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."

WE TRUST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD...THE GREAT I AM, CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH


THANK YOU TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
THE GOD AND CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH...
THE GREAT I AM!



Today, big things are happening for us on our little part of Earth. Yet, I pray that we will let these few pictures and scriptures below help us keep things in perspective. I am so thankful that our "Heavenly Daddy" is in control!

"For the LORD is our Judge,
The LORD is our Lawgiver,
The LORD is our King;
He will save us." (Savior of the World)

THE DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.

In spite of our size in the grand scheme of things, GOD says, that
  • He made us...
  • He gave us breath and spirit...
  • He has called us...
  • He will hold our hand...
  • He will watch over us...
  • He has given us a job to do...
  • He asks us to sing His praises...
    .

Isaiah 42:5-10

.

5 Thus says God the LORD,

Who created the heavens and stretched them out,

Who spread out the earth and its offspring,

Who gives breath to the people on it,

And spirit to those who walk in it,

6 "I am the LORD,

I have called you in righteousness,

I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you,

And I will appoint you as a covenant to the people,

As a light to the nations,

7 To open blind eyes,

To bring out prisoners from the dungeon,

And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.

8 "I am the LORD, that is My name;

I will not give My glory to another,

Nor My praise to graven images.

9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass,

Now I declare new things;

Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."


10 Sing to the LORD a new song,

Sing His praise from the end of the earth!"

.

.

Isaiah 45:18-24

18 For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens
(He is the God who formed the earth and made it,
He established it and did not create it a waste place,
But formed it to be inhabited),
"I am the LORD, and there is none else...
...And there is no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a Savior;
There is none except Me.
22 "Turn to Me, and be saved,
all the ends of the earth;For I am God,
and there is no other.
23 "I have sworn by Myself,
The word has gone forth
from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me every knee will bow,
every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 "They will say of Me,
'Only in the LORD are righteousness and strength.' "
.

Isaiah 33:22
.
"For the LORD is our Judge,
The LORD is our Lawgiver,
The LORD is our King;
He will save us." (Savior of the World)

Jeremiah 17:5

.
"Thus says the LORD,
'Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the LORD."
.

Dear GOD,

You can do anything! You rule over planets! You rule over nations! You rule over the changes of the seasons! We see Your hand all around us. We're so focused on the condition of our world and the changes that need to take place. Please help those changes start with me and each person who reads this. Please continue to hold our hands and help us to slowly transform into who you want us to be...
