Transformed Moms: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS... MARY, DID YOU KNOW???

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,

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS... MARY, DID YOU KNOW???

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do

Sorry! I already had my burger for the week! Wednesday I found myself close to a Sonic and Thursday I was in the same area. It was time for a visit!

As usual, I made sure I had mustard on my #1.

Again, this week, I've had time to drive and think.

I've thought a lot about the week Jesus had between Palm Sunday and the cross. His faithful perseverance and endurance is amazing! I've thought about where Mary was during that week, also. I'd like to visit with you today about that last week of Jesus' life. Since I've already had my burger. How about I talk and you eat?!!!?!??!

I'd like to recap His last week by listing what happened each day and then putting the Gospel Zip Codes for your easy reference. A Gospel Zip code tells you all the places in the gospels a certain story is found. For instance, Jesus Feeding the 5,000 is found in 14, 696. That means that story is found in Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9, and John 6.

PALM SUNDAY: Jesus enters Jerusalem 21,11,19,12; Jesus spends the night in Bethany 21,11,00
MONDAY: Jesus curses the fig tree 21,11,00; Cleanses the Temple the second time 21,11,19,0; Healing in the Temple - 21,000; Leaves Jerusalem in evening - 0,11,00
TUESDAY: They see the fig tree that is now dried up-21,11,00 ; Jesus teaches in the temple and His authority is questioned - 21,11,19,0; Jesus tells the parable of The 2 Sons - 21,000 ; Jesus tells the parable of The Wicked Husbandmen - 21,12,20,0; Jesus tells the parable of The Marriage of the King's Son and answers questions - 22,12,20,0; Jesus speaks of the 8 Woes Against Pharisees - 23,12,20,0; Jesus speaks on the Necessity of Faith - 000,12; Jesus speaks concerning the Destruction of Jerusalem - 24,13,21,0; Jesus tells the parable of the Leaves of Fig Trees and Other Trees - 24,13,21,0; Jesus tells the parable of the Householder Watching - 24,13,00; Jesus tells the 3 parables of Ten Virgins / Talents / The Sheep and The Goats - 25,000
WEDNESDAY: There is no record. It could quite possibly have been a "High Sabbath" as described in Leviticus 23.
THURSDAY: Preparation of Passover - 26,14,22,0; Jesus speaks to disciples at Last Supper - 26,14,22,13; Jesus speaks to Peter - 26,14,22,13; Prays in The Garden of Gethsemane - 000,17; Agony in Gethsemane - 26,14,22,18; Betrayed in Gethsemane - 26,14,22,0; Jesus heals Malchus' ear-0022,18
FRIDAY: Bound and led through streets / Peter's 1st denial - 000,18; Led to Caiaphas and Council / Peter's denials - 26,14,22,18; Judas hangs himself - 27,000; Jesus goes before Governor Pilate - 27,15,23,18; Jesus goes before King Herod - 00,23,0; Pilate attempts to release Jesus - 27,15,23,18; Jesus led away to be crucified - 27,15,23,19; Women cry for Jesus - 00,23,0; Jesus is offered wine - 27,15,00; Jesus placed ont the cross about 9 a.m. - 27,15,23,19; Jews mock Jesus and one thief confesses to Him - 27,15,23,0; Jesus commends His mother Mary to John - 000,19; Jesus dies and darkness prevails around 3 p.m. 27,15, 23, 19; Veil of temple torn / graves open - 27,15,23,0; Centurion's confession-27,15,23,0; Jesus taken from cross before 6 p.m. and buried - 27,15,23,19...

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
