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."

IN CHRIST ALONE... I SMILE...


I was on my way home from teaching last night, after 8 p.m.... deep sighs... exhaustion... a desire to hug my family... a deep need to be alone with my God...

I looked up and there He was...
.

.
My heart lit! Tears streamed! My spirit began to worship in song...
  • "God has smiled on me! He has set me free!"...
  • "In Christ alone, I put my trust... in Christ alone, I put my trust..., In Christ alone, I put my trust..."
God has smiled on me! I am blessed! I'm so grateful!
.
I woke up early this morning with my young adult children on my mind. Life is tough! I wrestle in prayer for each of them. I know they are wrestling in prayer, too.
.
It's before 6 a.m.... deep sighs... exhaustion... a desire to hug my family... a deep need to be alone with God... I just looked up and, above my computer, there He is!

.
.


He's in the 10+ notes that

I have hanging above my computer.

Some are notes of scriptures to remind me....

and some are notes from friends

who allowed God to work through them to bless me...

One is an obituary...

.


My heart is lit! My tears have come again! My spirit begins to worship in song...

In Christ alone, my Hope is found.
He is my Light, my Strength, my Song.
This Cornerstone, this Solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love! What depths of peace!
When fears are stilled... when strivings cease...
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ, I stand

.

God has smiled on me! I'm gratefully...
