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."

GOD STILL MOVES - EMPOWERING HIS PEOPLE

SUNDAY IN THE SON

.

Since the 1980's, the songs of Steve and Annie Chapman have played in our home, in our cars, and our offices. We have been so encouraged as to the ways God has used this couple to inspire and empower us. Last night, Steve and I had the privilege of traveling to the Sandy Cove Resort nestled at the head waters of the Chesapeake Bay in northern Maryland. Our front row seats, in an auditorium packed to hear Steve and Annie sing, were a blessing! We left saying, "We needed that!"

.

Over the next few days, I'll share with you some of the encouragement that Steve and I received and, of course, more pictures!

.

For today, let's begin looking at a sixth thing that the Holy Spirit does:

  1. He INDWELLS us!
  2. He HELPS us!
  3. He gives LIFE!
  4. He COMFORTS us!
  5. He LEADS us!
  6. He EMPOWERS us!

.

On this Lord's Day, let's think of the things that are difficult about being a wife or a mother. Now, consider what these scriptures say about the christian being empowered:

.

Romans 8:11

"And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you. "

.

1 John 4:4-5
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. "

.

Zechariah 4:6
"So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty."
