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."

LIFESONG... THE MISSION

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do Saturday

.
1. THE MISSION OF WOMEN OF PURPOSE - TO GLORIFY GOD IN WORD, DEED, AND SONG: There is a song that I would love to have as a theme song on this blog, but have not been able to get it on the playlist. The next best thing was to find it someplace on the internet and share the lyrics and a video with you. Although, the video is not the best quality, I still believe it will inspire you. The songs of Steve Green are rich with meaning. He has spanned several decades of recording songs of GOOD NEWS. Mandy brought one of his CD's to our Bible class on Tuesday for us to listen to. It connects so well to what we've been studying.
.
For you to listen to it, please do the following...
.
  1. Pause the playlist above
  2. Push play on the video below
  3. Read the words on the video as you follow along
  4. Be encouraged!







THE MISSION

by: Steve Green

.
There's a call going out Across the land in every nation
A call to those who swear allegiance to the cross of Christ
A call to true humility, to live our live responsibly
To deepen our devotion to the cross at any price
.
Let us then be sober, moving only in the Spirit
As aliens and strangers in a hostile foreign land
The message we're proclaiming is repentance and forgiveness
The offer of salvation to a dying race of man
.
Chorus:
To love the Lord our God Is the heartbeat of our mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Across the street Or around the world
The mission's still the same
Proclaim and live the Truth In Jesus' name
.
As a candle is consumed by the passion of the flame
Spilling light unsparingly throughout a darkened room
Let us burn to know Him deeper
Then our service flaming bright
Will radiate his passions
And blaze with holy light
.
Chorus
.
Chorus

2. THE MISSION OF WOMEN OF PURPOSE - TO GLORIFY GOD WHILE WAITING IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES: I saw Lauren last night! I picked up some Olive Garden for Cristi's supper and headed out of South Jersey across the Walt Whitman bridge.







As I entered Pennsylvania. Downtown Philadelphia was off to my right. The Phillies were playing in Citizen's Bank Park on my left.








A few minutes later, I arrived at CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) only to drive around in the parking garage for almost 30 minutes to find a parking place. Then, I made the long trek from there to security...to the third floor bridge... to the first floor... and then up to the sixth floor. What a beautiful and busy children's hospital!



I found Lauren asleep! Best to take the picture in the dark and not wake her up!





She got to go outside with her mom earlier in the day and was worn out! Lauren had a heart catheritazation on Wednesday to see how her heart was doing a week after the transplant. Her doctor said that her heart did not look like a transplanted heart. In fact, he said her heart looked remarkably at home in her body. Join me in PRAISING GOD! The Lord willing, she will be discharged this coming Wednesday!

3. THE MISSION OF WOMEN OF PURPOSE - TO RAISE CHILDREN FOR THE LORD: I am so thankful to have children who remain on a faith journey with their LORD. Jordan and Jacqueline took our grandaughter Chloe to her first rodeo. What do you think? COWGIRL CHLOE makes both her grandpops proud at this Kansas rodeo! I know another day that they will be so much prouder... the day she gives her life to Jesus!!!! See more of the rodeo at http://jordandjacqueline.blogspot.com/




4. THE MISSION OF WOMEN OF PURPOSE - TO GLORIFY GOD WITH OUR HEARTS, SOULS, MINDS, AND STRENGTH: It's such a battle for so many of us!
.
I have a friend named Sean who will become your fast friend, too. I wish you could see the inspiration that he is to his friends on FB. Sean is a minister of the gospel of Christ. He has put his struggle public for others to help him through prayer and encouragement. .
I've known Sean for quite a few years! Sean was a student at York College when I taught there. He is a friend of our 4 children. Sean has sung with Acappella ministries and other contemporary christian groups. He has tour managed and road managed some of the vocal artist's who we listen to on this playlist: Nicole C Mullen, Matthew West, Sanctus Real, as well as many others.
.
I've been with Sean in multiple settings. He is a bright light! I've been praying for him and cheering him on recently. Join me in watching him beginning Sept. 15 on THE BIGGEST LOSER... link to the video promo below and you'll see Sean in the red shirt and on the right in the "shirtless pose"... GIGATTAATTGIG... right, Sean? I'm praying over Psalms 40:1-4 for Sean today!
