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."

REVELATION... CROSS WALKING REFLECTIONS...



It's been 23 years and 7 months since she came to live on this planet and changed my life for the better! I haven't seen our youngest daughter since July. She's flying in this evening for a visit. I'm so excited!
.



Yes! She's her mommy's daughter, but she is sooooo her daddy's little girl!
.

.
.
When did this daughter of ours grow up? What a wonderful transformation inside and out!
.

I love it that I can call my daughter "sister". It was years ago that she made the decision to begin her life in Christ and begin the CROSS WALK. The journey has not been easy, but as our scripture memory says... it's about:

  • faith
  • peace
  • grace
  • rejoicing
  • struggle
  • perseverance
  • character
  • hope
  • love

The journey is about life in Christ!

.
Of our immediate family, Crystal and I are the only ones who frequent Facebook. It must have something to do with our common social gene. What a gift, to watch her journey of humanity and spirituality from afar. Her status updates make this mother smile. Here are a few:
