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."

IN ME... I AM WHAT I PLANT OR ALLOW TO BE PLANTED...

TRANSFORMING THURSDAY
.
I forgot! Oh, my, it's been a busy fall! I forgot to plant my tulip bulbs for spring! Is it too late? I'll need to check that out today. I've focused so much on being a "teacher" that I forgot to be a "farmer". What was I thinking? I've invisioned my dream of many more tulips in my yard. What happened to my planning and preparation for that dream? My kitchen is already full of tulips (and watermelons). I just want some real ones outside. I love tulips!
.
You know, teaching and farming are very similar. This is the week that I ask my students to reflect on their semester. Do they know more than they did when beginning the semester? What life strategies can they take from my class to make it practical?
.
It reminds me of one of the video clips I saw recently from Simple Truths! It makes me wonder if there are other things that I've forgotten to plant or teach. Hmmm.... it's getting close to the first of a new year. It's about time to reflect on the whole year and dream of years to come. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the most important planting has already been done for me...
.
The Holy Spirit of God lives in me! The question is now, "Am I allowing Him to TEACH ME?"
.
Watch this brief video from Simple Truths and then join me in the next few days to discuss this subject a little more...it'll be transforming...
