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."

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS... THROUGH YOUR CONSISTENCE IN THE WORD...



WOMEN IN THE WORD WEDNESDAY
.




Philippians 2:12-16a
.
.
12 "Therefore, my dear friends,
as you have ALWAYS OBEYED-
not only in my presence,
but now much more in my absence-
(Paul, inspired by God, is writing
to christians who are the real deal...
christians who obey God when they're being watched
and when they're not being watched!")
.
.
continue to WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION
(Ah! It is, in fact, this continued
obedience to God that is how one
will "work out your own salvation". )
.
.
with fear and trembling,
(This is a reverant respect
of our all powerful,
holy, and loving Father).
.
.
13 for it is GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU
(...since you have chosen this
christian life of obedience,
God is working in you...)
.
.
to will and to act according to His good purpose.
(God's work in you is about
transforming you to fit into His big picture
of His design, therefore,
this work might be painful as He does His work!)
.
.
14 Do everything
(No matter what the struggle or pain,
these two words mean what they say...
DO EVERYTHING....)
.
.
without complaining or arguing,
(None... zero... zilch complaining / arguing!)
.
.
15 so that you may
(It looks lke it's possible!)
.
.
become blameless
(That means you'll live a life of obedience to God,
so you won't be to blame! Of course,
being blameless would never be able to happen
had you not become a born again christian in the first place.
Now, the blood of Christ continually cleanses you of any sins
as you strive walk this journey of obedience).
)
.
and pure,
(And, now, covered by "the blood of the lamb"
you are seen as undefiled... holy... innocent... )
.
.
children of God
(That means that you are part of
THE FAMILY - God is your Daddy!)
.
.
without fault
(This would be the same as blameless...
see above...)
.
.
in a crooked and depraved generation,
(You have criminal and sicko peers all around you!)
.
.
in which you shine like stars in the universe
(Your non-complaining / non-argumentative nature is glowing!)
.
.
16 as you hold out the word of LIFE...
(Even criminal and sicko people
take notice when someone doesn't complain or argue!
You will shine the BRIGHT LIGHT OF LIFE!)
.
