Transformed Moms: HE IS EXALTED...GIGATTAATTGIG...

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

HE IS EXALTED...GIGATTAATTGIG...

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Join me over a burger for a little

Catch Up and Must Do

.
1. Yesterday I read a note that said, in essence

the more I pray, the worse it gets!!!!! Why pray? My friend said that it seemed the more she prayed, the harder things got.

Yes, I have noticed that with our family and with others! In fact, yesterday, I was also talking with Jessica about it and I brought up our reading "Pilgrim's Progress" as a family when the kids were younger. It's a great book about the "journey of life". We read a revised edition for kids with pictures. She said, "How could I forget!?!!? I've spent much of my life stuck in the wilderness!"

.
My friend, Jessica, you, and me... we all need to help each other carry our burdens... love and serve... love and serve... love and serve... life is a journey over tall mountains and treacherous valleys. It's not for the faint of heart! Here's a MUST DO.... Please repeat after me 6 times... "LIFE IS HARD, BUT GOD IS GOOD"...

Yes, GIGATTAATTGIG!

2. If you have not seen the Schwamb video yet, it takes the whole idea over the top of LIFE IS HARD, BUT GOD IS GOOD...please take a few minutes and view it at http://GIGATTAATTGIG.blogspot.com

3. All you VIRTUOUS WOMEN, who we've referred to as STEEL MAGNOLIA'S who "fear the LORD" no matter what... please remind yourselves of that discussion and remember that GIGATTAATTGIG... Mandy sent this to me from her cell phone yesterday:

4. Our little grandbaby, Chloe, turned 3 months this week. I pray that she will stand strong on her life journey... GIGATTAATTGIG.... Check out the stories at http://jordandjacqueline.blogspot.com

. 5. If you are a Pitman gal, remember tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m., Smitty Brecheen of Abilene, Texas will speak to us in the fellowship hall. We need to hear the wisdom of those who have traveled this journey and stood strong! See you there!!!

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

1. Just below, you'll find a series of questions and answers about who Transformed Moms are.

2. Options for getting started...after those questions and answers... YOU COULD click on the June 2008 Archive, scroll down to the first post called MASTER-FULL MOMS and start from the beginning with our 14 day devotional challenge, or.... YOU COULD start with our summary of our original summer class and blog on the 8-31-08 post: SUMMER SUMMARY - SPIRITUAL, or...

Thanks for joining us, Patti

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
