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."

I AM BLESSED... GOD SHOWS UP...

MEDITATION MONDAY


Praise to God for a Living Hope!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, "God showed up" in a more accentuated way than usual in our Sunday morning service. My husband preached a sermon entitled, "I ALMOST QUIT!"

On this christian journey, there are things that often get in the way of victorious christian living and our ability to see the blessings we have all around us. God always shows up, yet the Devil would like nothing more that for us to not realize that and become...




  • Discouraged


  • Despaired


  • Distressed


  • Disillusioned


  • Distracted


to the point that we quit.



Steve's wonderful words of encouragement with a reading of 1 Peter 1:3-9:



3 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!


In His great mercy He has given us new birth


into a living hope


through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,




4 and into an inheritance that can


never perish, spoil or fade.


This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,


5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power


until the coming of the salvation


that is ready to be revealed in the last time.




6 In all this you greatly rejoice,


though now for a little while


you may have had to suffer grief


in all kinds of trials.




7 These have come so that


the proven genuineness of your faith—


of greater worth than gold,


which perishes even though refined by fire—


may result in praise, glory and honor


when Jesus Christ is revealed.




8 Though you have not seen Him,


you love Him;


and even though you do not see Him now,


you believe in Him and are filled with


an inexpressible and glorious joy,




9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith,


the salvation of your souls."
