Who Am I?

I've been rethinking my "About Me" today. I realize that it tells the basics about me, my family, my ambitions, etc. However, I find myself asking, who am I really. Who is the "bottom line me"? Here's what I came up with. I'm a sinner saved by Grace. A woman whose sins have been forgiven and forgotten. Cast as far as the East is from the West. I'm a born again, Holy Spirit filled, child of God, daughter of the King of Kings. I am clay in His hands. I am His vessel. His servant. I am a woman who believes in Jesus Christ, and believes that he was born of a virgin, died on a cross to pay the penalty for my sins, rose on the third day, is alive and seated at the right hand of the father. The End. "For God so loved the world that He gave Hid only begotten Son. That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Cause I'm about to dive all up in some turkey and dressing, cranberry salad, cheesy rice, green bean casserole and a pie of some sort. My pants feel a little tighter just thinking about it all.

Being a tree that grows deep roots. Being a tree that won't fear when the  ha...

Clear Messages

I just love it when God speaks to me in unexpected ways. No matter how unexpected they may be, they are most always clear. Today's clear message came in the form of a package. A package from Blessings Unlimited(Dayspring) *smile* I love that name. It is such a perfect description of God's blessing....they are unlimited. HE's unlimited.  Hmmm....ok...back to the message. So I open this box of welcome surprise to find a bright and shiny, fancy nancy, new journal! WooHoo!!! You see, I have a weakness for all things stationary. Pens, pencils, paper, note cards, journals. I just love the stuff!  Now I can retire my worn out little spiral notebook, and open up the crisp, unmarked pages of my new jewel, I mean journal. The cover of my new treasure is filled with words of affirmation. Words like...Valued, Irreplaceable, Accepted, Wonderfully Made, Delightful, Loved. But the word that jumps off of the cover, and hits me right smack dab in the face/heart is the word God ...
