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."

TURN MY HEART, OH LORD... TO ALWAYS CHOOSE YOU...

MEDITATION MONDAY
.
Yesterday morning, at our chuch family's services, it was announced that we will begin moving into our new building this week. In many ways, we are experiencing a new beginning. Steve spent time talking about that with us yesterday. He took us to the book of Joshua and challenged us with Joshua's words. Joshua had basically told the Israelites that going into the Promised Land was not going to work. They had to be single focused on THE GOD OF ISRAEL. They had other gods that they had to get rid of. Steve said the same thing to us.
  • We must allow God to be our everything in heart, mind, body, soul, and strength.
  • We must rid ourselves of other gods and have a single God focus.
  • We must choose!
Then, he asked me to come up and stand beside him. As we stood there, he told the congregation:
"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...
But as for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD."
Joshua 24:15
.

Families throughout the high school auditorium began to stand. Each one repeated the same words, as they stood. When the congregation, in families, stood united, we repeated the words together. It was a time to commit and TURN OUR WHOLE HEARTS TO GOD.

Happy Valentine's Day, Jesus!



"'Love the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
