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."

EVERLASTING GOD...YOU NEVER LET GO...DO WE????



TRANSFORMING THURSDAY

.

.

Do you have an addiction that takes the life right out of you? The everlasting life?

.

  • Alcohol?
  • Drugs?
  • Food?
  • Gambling?
  • Games?
  • Nicotine?
  • Porn?
  • Shopping?
  • TV?
  • Victim mentality?
  • Woe is me mentality?
  • Work?
  • Worry?

.

If you answered "yes" to any of these, then maybe your name is C.W. Halts!

.

Maybe you're feeling:

  • C ontrolled
  • W orthless
  • H urt
  • A ngry
  • L onely
  • T ired
  • S tressed

.

Last night Steve taught I Thessalonians in our Wednesday night Bible Class. It was in someways a continuation of his Sunday sermon, which I shared with you on Monday. I told him later there was enough information in that 35 minute class to go for a whole quarter...a whole semester.

.

He asked us: What is the will of God in your life? Specifically, how do I please God? How can I reject God?

.
Just read 1 Thessalonians! I learned too much last night to write here. Yet, two words summarize what a person must begin doing to get on the road to being addiction free: SERVICE / GRATITUDE.
.
Let's get our eyes off of ourselves and find ways to serve and count our blessings...daily.... Did you hear that? Serve and count daily!!!! Count blessings, NOT records of wrongs done! While your serving and being grateful, read 1 Thessalonians and Romans 12 and Ephesians 4. Also, be sure to add Hebrews 12:1-4 that we continually go back to on this blog. Pray that those scriptures abide deep in your heart. Then, begin to see your life transform away from the name C.W. Halts:

  • Controlled to in control
  • Worthless to special
  • Hurt to comforted
  • Angry to content
  • Lonely to connected
  • Tired to energized
  • Stressed to relaxed

.
That's what happens when we stay plugged in to the Everlasting Light of the World... it's TRANSFORMING! In order to be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD in a dark world, we must stay plugged in to the everlasting source of power...
.
If you're unplugged, who did the unplugging?
