Transformed Moms: BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN

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,

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN - SUNDAY IN THE SON

In Matthew 5, Jesus says,

"BLESSED are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

In order to have the "mind of Christ", we must have the attitudes of Christ.

In Matthew 5, Jesus says that begins with being "poor in spirit" - convicted of our spiritual poverty.

Our first steps on this Christ-like journey:

1. It's NOT about me... I am nothing unless I get it right with Jesus! I must pour myself out to be filled up with Him, admitting my own personal and spiritual emptiness.

- SELFISH TO SELFLESS.

2. I am a sinner! Once we see Jesus for Who He is, The Sinless One, there is the overwhelming conviction that we are sinners! Scripture says, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Admitting and grieving our own spiritual emptiness opens the door for Jesus to comfort us - with forgiveness... salvation... acceptance.... understanding... family.

- SINNER TO SINNER JOYFULLY SAVED BY GRACE!

In Matthew 5, Jesus says,

"BLESSED are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

Join me in singing this powerful song,
about this subject,

today on Sunday in the Son.

A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE as sung by the Gaithers:

Songwriters: HUMPHRIES, MITCH/GAITHER, WILLIAM/GAITHER, GLORIA

If you could see what I once was... If you could go with me...
Back to where I started from... Then, I know you would see...
A miracle of LOVE that put me in it's sweet embrace
and made me what I am today - just an old sinner - Saved by grace
I'm just a sinner - Saved by grace.

When I stood condemned to death, He took my place.
Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take.

LOVED and FORGIVEN...
Back with the living...
I'm just a sinner - Saved by grace.

How could I boast on anything I've ever seen or done?
How could I dare to claim as mine the victories GOD has won?
Where would I be had GOD not brought me, gently to this place?
I'm here to say I'm nothing but a sinner - Saved by grace.

I'm just a sinner - Saved by grace.
When I stood condemned to death, He took my place.
Now I grow and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take.
I'm LOVED and FORGIVEN...
Back with the living...
I'm just a sinner - Saved by grace.

Now I grow and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take.
I'm LOVED and FORGIVEN...
Back with the living...
I'm just a sinner - Saved by grace - Saved by grace

BLESSED! OH, THE JOY!

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

1. Just below, you'll find a series of questions and answers about who Transformed Moms are.

2. Options for getting started...after those questions and answers... YOU COULD click on the June 2008 Archive, scroll down to the first post called MASTER-FULL MOMS and start from the beginning with our 14 day devotional challenge, or.... YOU COULD start with our summary of our original summer class and blog on the 8-31-08 post: SUMMER SUMMARY - SPIRITUAL, or... YOU COULD browse through the archive and click what looks interesting to you...and/or...
.
3. You're invited to read recent posts and come back daily to join us as we are led by the Holy Spirit down the road to healing and / or transformation.

Thanks for joining us, Patti

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
