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."

GOD IS GOOD... THROUGH TRANSFORMED MOM MELODY AND HER FAMILY...



God has inspired me through different people over the years. I have seen His goodness through those people and have been a better person because of it. The same thing happens when I see a family unit that works to glorify God together and to show His goodness... I get inspired. One such family is Tim and Melody's. They have 3 children and both parents have jobs. The kids have many extra-curricular activities. They are a busy family. Tim is our deacon of youth. He is focused, passionate, and in love with the LORD. He wants that for his family and our youth. Did I say He is a "big teddy bear"?
.
Melody? Well, Melody, is focused, passionate, and in love with the LORD. Melody has a "heart of gold". On any given day you can find Tim and Melody and their kids involved, in some way, in meeting the needs of others. This past Sunday, they hosted a graduation party for Erin. Erin lost her mommy in January to cancer. She is the youngest of 5 and will be heading out to Harding University soon. I am amazed at the loving way that Melody and her family have served Erin.

I am amazed at the way Tim integrates teen activities so that his whole family can be involved: in service projects and Bible study. Here they are showing up in my front yard several months ago - for a little bit of both!

.

And, Tim makes sure to pull together other teen parents and their families, too!!!

.

And, then, there's the mission trips and Bible camp that they all head out on for weeks at a time! They partner with other teen groups and have a great balance of "being on the road again" and "being still to meditate on and know the goodness of God !"



.
I am so grateful for Tim and Melody and family and how their lives reflect the goodness of our God.
