Transformed Moms: HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH... OF HOPE... OF LOVE...

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

HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH... OF HOPE... OF LOVE...

MEDITATION
.
MONDAY
.

A virtuous woman must be a woman of purpose. 1 Corinthians 13 ends it's description of love by saying, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
.
In other words, gals, the above verse answers these questions:

.

Do you want purpose in your life? Try faith, hope, and love!

Do you want to know how to get practical and know where the rubber meets the road? Try faith, hope, and love!

Do you want to quit going through the motions and get real? Try faith, hope, and love.

Do you want to know the bottom line? Try faith, hope, and love.

FAITH is foundational! Join me in focusing on faith today.

.
Matthew 7:25 "The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK."

1 Corinthians 3:11 "For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."

Hebrews 11:1-2 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

.
Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

Our theme song this week is one brought up out of the archives of my "christian oldies but goodies": HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH. Be encouraged by the words and the 80's video of one of my favorite christian singers. Steve Green often preaches in song about faith, hope, and love! When you've finished, I hope you have time to read yesterday's post, if you haven't already!

HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH

Steve Green

Here we are at the start committing to each other

By His word and from our hearts

We will be a family in a house that will be a home

And with faith we'll build it strong

Chorus:

We'll build a household of faith

That together we can make

And when the strong winds blow it won't fall down

As one in Him we'll grow

and the whole world will know

We are a household of faith

Now to be a family

we've got to love each other

At any cost unselfishly

And our home must be a place

that fully abounds with grace

A reflection of His face

Repeat Chorus
.

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.
.

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
