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."

EVERYTHING TO ME... GOD... BIRTHDAY... PIZZA...

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY
Catch Up and Must Do

.
Choosing God... loving Him... obeying His commands... praying for God's wisdom to do the right thing even when it is hard... being with God's family... WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH STEVE SIKES?????? Everything! I love that man of mine! He is a man of great INTRApersonal strength. He likes his alone time... alone time with God.... alone time with his family... Today is his birthday! I am so blessed to have now been part of over 36 of his birthdays. But, this weekend he is speaking at Family Camp Weekend at Camp Manatawny in Pennsylvania to 50+ families with young children. He is there. I am at home with Jessica. Happy Birthday, Stephen Charles!

No, I did not put Ketchup or Mustard on my pizza, but I did eat this piece! Two 15-20 passenger vans pulled up to our house last night full of teens delivering a pizza to Jessica and me. They could have been any place else, but instead they chose to spend their Friday night with God's family. They knocked on our door before dusk, delivering a pizza (made to order with onions, olives, and peppers - love the jalepenos!!)
.
They waited for directions from me, because they knew that I had been given a paper that would tell them what to do while at my house. Tim, our deacon of youth (in the light blue shirt), had orchestrated this fun filled evening. Steve, Chuck, and Garth were dads who had joined the fun as drivers and chaperones.

Here's the CLUE CHALLENGE that I read to the kids:
.
  • You have three minutes to complete this task: EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE. You need one person to complete, saying in order, the books of the Old Testament. You will need another person to say the books of the New Testament in order. The rest of the group will divide into two groups and will have to act our one Bible story each before the time is up.
.
  • Time will begin once your selected person begins saying the Old Testament. Once the Old is completed your person will begin the New Testament. Once the New is completed, your first group can begin acting out your story. Once we guess correctly, the next group can act out their Bible story. The groups must not do the same Bible story and you must complete this task in three minutes or less. You have a couple minutes to strategize. Good Luck!

.
Tim and Cassidy stood by me with the timer and said, "GO!"
.

The groups worked on their skits in the background .
...while Logan said the books of the Old Testament....










.
Corey sang and said the books of the New Testament...



.
After getting everyone organized, the first group acted out Jesus' birth...


The second group had a very tall Goliath for their David and Goliath story...

Then, it was time for me to give them their clue as to where they were to head for their next stop. Here it is... can you figure it out?

If you thought of Harry and IT, you are correct. The teen group quickly figured out that their next stop was Harriet's!

That's it for today! Praying that each new day God is becoming EVERYTHING TO YOU!
