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."

WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR... GIVER OF SECOND CHANCES....





TRANSFORMING THURSDAY

I realize that this is now Saturday morning and that I have not posted for several days. My mind has been totally on overload as I have taught classes, supervised student teachers, and tried to meet the deadline of my tenure and recontracting book for this year. In addition, our daughter's chronic pain is now on it's third week of being at an "over the top" level.

I started this post several days ago, knowing what I wanted to do. I just couldn't get it finished! So, I'll post this now and post "Saturday's" very special post, later today.

In order to get a full understanding of this post, you will need to first link back to this former post and read the first 3 short paragraphs.


. Jo-Anne's husband, Rich, is much better. Between multiple heart attacks and his body catching on fire, Rich and Jo-Anne have persevered. They now have a deeper understanding of our Wonderful, Merciful Savior... Giver of Second Chances....

Kristy recovered from her near death experience, forever changed. Oh, it has not been easy! During that unbelievable trauma, her husband, Shawn, also lost his job. What a double blow this young family had! They have continued to persevere. They now have a deeper understanding of our Wonderful, Merciful Savior... Giver of Second Chances. Here's the family, months later, as they persevere through another NJ winter:

Just recently, they opened their own store together-a children's merchandise and maternity consignment shop. My husband, Steve, was their first customer!

Each one of us are "so precious in God's sight"! Each one of us have been extended a second chance for LIFE IN HIM. Jesus is truly our Wonderful Merciful Savior!
