He Wanted Me to Know, ”IT WAS ME!” Suffering Creates Wisdom, Change, And Knowledge Colossians 1:29 Without God ,I can do nothing. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me. 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. *Everything that I write….. *Everything that I worked so hard to accomplish…….. Everything that I teach…… Everyone that I mentor…….. * Every year that I struggled to raise 3, strong Christian men along with my husband….…… *Every degree I’ve earned…
HE KNOWS MY HEART AND LOVES ME JUST THE WAY I AM. Change Me Into Your Likeness, Dear Lord. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down. You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely. OH BROTHER! A WORD ON MY TONGUE? I’ve asked forgiveness for that one flaw, from my dearest friends, a few times. Thank the Good Lord, He does love…
GOD IS GENTLE AND HOLDS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 2 Samuel 22:31 The Word of God is flawless. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. GOD’S WORD’S TO ME:”I will never leave you. You will never shame me.” LOL! OH REALLY? THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing. Too bad it didn’t soak in until I was 50…
DON’T MAKE MOUNTAINS OUTTA MOLEHILLS! Think Before You React. Isaiah 41: 13 For I am The Lord Your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ”Do not fear, I will help you.” God taught me many years ago, that I’m a lot stronger than I think I am. Granny and Mom always insisted upon one thing, ”Don’t make mountains outta molehills!” Unfortunately, I had a family member with special needs, and over reaction was a huge problem. I made a positive choice and promise to myself, that I would try my best…
DWELL IN A SAFE PASTURE. I Don’t Own My Extended Family’s Problems… GOD DOES! Psalm37: 3-4 Trust in The Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in The Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. God has created me to be a mentor..a teacher…a fixer of problems…. A cheer leader for those not knowing where to turn. LOLO!! However, there is a fine line between mentoring and sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong. There’s some issues in my extended family…
HE CONSUMES ME. Thankfulness Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful. So worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for God is a consuming fire.

YOU KNOW MY HEART. I’m Not Perfect, and He Loves Me Anyway. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me, and You know me. You know when I sit, and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord. Lord, You and I have been on such a long journey together. I can remember my 2 older sisters teaching me The Hail Mary in French, when I was…
DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED. Sean Hannity: Fox News Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. If you follow my blogging, you must know that I am a Christian Conservative. Fox News is the only network that doesn’t have the unhinged left attitude. Nightly, we watch Sean Hannity, whom is severely, hated by the left. In my 69 years, I have never seen such hate lashed out at a President, and fellow Christians. Believe it…if you are a true Christian, you are under attack. I believe that…
Spa Day at Mary’s Prov 17:17 A Friend loves at all times. ……….AND WE LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY! The Girlfriends were at it again! Oh my goodness! Did we have fun or what? Call it our second childhood, or call it whatever you like. We had so much fun on June 20! Along with all of our masks, make-up, nail polishes and footbaths, we each brought a salad. Mary ordered a pizza, made a dessert and provided drinks. After saying our blessing, and filling our tummies, we began to orchestrate the afternoon activities. Bella, who is Diane’s 15…
Our salvation is secure….. ….and so are His promises to me. Hab. CH 2 Hebrews 6:18-20 God did this so that by 2 unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie; we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us, may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. YES, LORD! I HEAR YOU….GOTTA GET BUSY ON THE BOOK! God’s sense of humor never ceases to amaze me! He directed me the last 20 years to do the following: Hab…

GOD’S WORD’S TO ME:”I will never leave you. You will never shame me.” LOL! OH REALLY? THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing.

Forming Physically and Mentally Healthy Habits! 1Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. It took me until I was 30 years old until I realized that I could control my thoughts. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, the great author and orator changed my life with his book, The Power of Positive Thinking. He taught me how to read the Word of God, and how to truly seek Him. Twelve years of Catholic education never taught me that. It’s as if I were hit with a bolt of…
“God’s Got It!” Sandy Sanders Proverbs 3: 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Here are some of Granny’s and Mom’s wisdoms: *Be careful what you pray for. *God knows what’s best. * If you’re praying for a relationship to work out, and it doesn’t, God has dealt you a great card. I was 20 years old in 1969, attending Wilmington College. I dated a ton of guys, and one was a smooth talker. In my naïve state of mind, a guy saying, ”I love you,” means forever…
Media Fatigue…It’s a Deep Swamp. Eph. 3 20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us; to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations. IS 40:30-31 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall utterly fall. Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall walk and not faint. If my father were alive he’d be…
PRAY FOR THE GIFT OF WISDOM Wisdom On The Big Country Porch Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and her tongue is the law of kindness. If you have followed my blog, you already realize that my Mom and Granny had a significant influence upon my life. My paternal grandfather at 106 was also a “Life Toucher.” Being surrounded by the elderly in a Christian, country environment filled my soul and mind with a Plethora of Wisdom. I feel for the millenials and youth of today. Before cell phones/media, I interacted with everyone, all ages, individual…
