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...FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH HOPE...BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...

.
I took this picture on Thursday, my birthday. As I shared previously, I started out the morning driving under a blanket of clear blue sky, then encountered a sky that began to fill with these "white fluffy clouds" . As I stopped on the Jersey shore to watch, I saw the dark foreboding clouds move in to envelope the other clouds and FILL UP the sky. That experience and the picture below, as well as the pictures I shared yesterday, remind me of our journey of life.
.
.
It is the parts of the journey when the dark clouds come... when the sun (Son) can not be seen clearly... that our faith in God and our character are challenged. Sometimes we see the dark clouds coming and know what lies ahead. Other times the storms almost blind side us. Our faith and character come under assault.
.
When my spirit is at war with God's Holy Spirit, I do not allow Him to FILL up all my cracks and crevices with the fruit of His SPIRIT: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
.
When I allow Him to FILL ME UP, then I can do what my friend, and sister in Christ, Mandy encouraged me to do yesterday via a birthday card message:
.
DANCE IN THE RAIN!
.
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope FILL you
with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him,
so that you may
overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit."
