Transformed Moms: MY DELIVERER... TRANSFORMS...

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

MY DELIVERER... TRANSFORMS...

TRANSFORMING THURSDAY

It just took one drag of my computer mouse to transform the above picture from balls of rubber bands to flying discs of rubber bands.
.
It just takes a short time to say "I DO", but those vows are for a lifetime. The keeping or not keeping of those vows have an impact for generations. "In sickness or in health..." , "For richer or for poorer..." J & J made those vows in 2003... their lives will soon be changing...
.

.
Lisa didn't know she would have to walk this road with Chip; neither did Cindy know she would have to walk it with Rich. Yet, the road of committment is one for those who have chosen to put on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD: for those who believe in truth, righteousness, the gospel, peace, faith, salvation, and the Spirit of the living God. I've grown / transformed through our focus on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, this month. God has taught me in a multiplicity of ways.

.
As this month now comes to a close, I've thought a lot about why I chose the theme of MY DELIVERER for this last week...

because it is JESUS, THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD, who will deliver me from this world of sin and death
because it is the compassion of JESUS that takes in a little abandoned baby left for blind, deaf, and mute... to be raised by parents with the heart of JESUS who teach him (deliver him) via loving patience and loving patience and loving patience... until he sees, he hears, and he speaks 2 languages fluently, and even yodels...
because it is with hope that daddies and mommies wait for 9 months for an egg to be transformed into a beautiful baby - and he is delivered!!! I love this smiling almost 4 month old grandson! His TRANSFORMED MOMMY, Krista, gave birth to him at home!
because transformation and growth of a fetus does lead to delivery. This causes more transformation in the days, weeks, and years to come.... it's how God works - inside and out...
So, Happy Birthday today to our daughter-in-love , Jacqueline, who is about ready to deliver... Delivery will once again transform your life!
Jacqueline has the heart Jesus, her Deliverer! Today on FB, a friend wrote on her wall, " Happy Birthday to one of the most thoughtful people on Earth!"
I'm so thankful TRANSFORMED MOMMY, Jacqueline, has been raising one of our grandchildren and is about to deliver and raise another!

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:

1. Just below, you'll find a series of questions and answers about who Transformed Moms are.

2. Options for getting started...after those questions and answers... YOU COULD click on the June 2008 Archive, scroll down to the first post called MASTER-FULL MOMS and start from the beginning with our 14 day devotional challenge, or.... YOU COULD start with our summary of our original summer class and blog on the 8-31-08 post: SUMMER SUMMARY - SPIRITUAL, or... YOU COULD browse through the archive and click what looks interesting to you...and/or...

Thanks for joining us, Patti

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
