When God first got a hold of my heart completely at 17 years old, He changed me from the inside out. My attitudes changed as this new life of Christ began to unfold in my life. I saw all things He created as if it were the first time. I couldn’t get enough of His presence. At 17 years, I spent all free time and weekends soaking in the presence of God, saturating myself in His Word, and praying for hours upon hours. I couldn't wait to be with Him in the secret place every day.I began listening to uplifting songs to my Savior as I discarded all the secular beats I once knew. There were so many changes in my life and my joy was bountiful. I was abounding in newness and love for others and all things that are pure.
God began to show me areas in my life that were not pleasing to Him, and this included the clothing I was wearing. Without thinking of rules or standards, I began to dress to honor my First Love, my King and realize I had come into a royal kingdom. This set me out on a journey.
As I grew older, I slipped into some of my older ways of dressing and God would gently nudge me to reevaluate why I was dressing certain ways. He wanted to purify so many areas of my life including this one area.
As I began to lead our ladies’ Bible study on Modesty this last year, I decided to get down to the bottom of what Scripture actually does reveal about modesty. As I began typing notes for the class, it became very obvious it was turning into a book.
The Holy Spirit inspired and guided this book in a matter of two months. The Lord showed me that He was resurrecting this truth in His church, His Body, for He is coming for a pure and spotless bride without spot or wrinkle. He is purifying His Bride.
The book is called “CLOTHED IN HIS GLORY, What Scripture Reveals About Modesty.” I pray you will read it and be blessed. If any of you would like to read it, but do not have the budget, please contact me as I have a few on my shelf I can give away. My prayer is that whatever journey you are on with the Lord, that this book would be a catalyst to encourage your walk to deepen in faith, purity, and love.

It’s so easy to get burdened down with negative thoughts, isn’t it? If we don’t discipline our thoughts they tend toward self-pity, “poor me” attitude, selfishness, and even thoughts of God that are not worthy of Him.
Dear ladies, as you are aware, I love to send out a picture to you with every post I write. A picture is worth a thousand words! But it is not always easy to find the right picture and as I look for pictures there is often a problem with copyright.
In order to counteract distractions this we must get into the habit of becoming disciplined and focused. How can we FOCUS? I'll share an acrostic with you, and as I do, I'll point three fingers back at me!
Three of our grandsons singing "On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand." They loved to sing with all their hearts.
Wow, wouldn’t your children think it was was cool if you could give gold to them every day? Dear mother, you have the power to do this. You have gold in your hands. As you and your husband read God‘s word to your children each day, you are giving them gold. Gold that is eternal. Gold that will lead lead them on a path of success. Psalm 19:10 says that God’s words and more precious than much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from the honeycomb. The most important thing you can do each day is to dispense the goal of God’s word to your children. Don’t let other things interfere. Make it a priority.
It grieves me when I hear people say they are angry with God. Really? Who do we think we are to be mad at Him? He is the God of the universe, the Creator of the world, the Creator of our bodies, the God who judges righteously and perfectly, the God who loves us with an everlasting love, the God who works everything out for our good even when we can't see it, and the God who sent His only Beloved Son to die and save us from our sins.
Are you a grumbling mother or a praising mother?
Yesterday I shared with; you seven adjectives of how God wants us to fill the earth. But there’s more. Not only does God give us these adjectives but He also paints pictures for us on this subject. He wants us to feel His heart about this subject. God promised the patriarchs of old that their descendants would be like . . .
As I read the Scriptures, I invariably find that my thinking is quite opposite to God’s thinking. What should I do? I’ve got to change my opinion to God’s way of thinking. I think that many who call themselves Christians don’t really believe in the God of the Bible after all. It is so easy to believe in a God of our own imagination. Unless we constantly fill our minds with God’s Word, we can be deceived. The other day I was checking out God’s attitude toward fruitfulness. I notice the Bible is far removed from how even Christians think today. The average number of children per family in America is only 1.9 children per family but God’s vision is much bigger.
Some people allow themselves to get eaten up inside with bitterness, hurt, and jealousy etc. As mothers, we cannot allow these attitudes in our lives for they destroy us and our entire family. We must keep our spirits whole--pure, blameless, and continually forgiving.
Do you remember the account of Jesus when he was only twelve years old? The family came to the Feast of Passover at Jerusalem. On the way home, along with all the other hundreds of families returning from Jerusalem, his parents noticed Jesus' was missing. They immediately returned to Jerusalem, but it was three days before they found Him.
Ephesians 6:8 tells us: “Whatsoever GOOD thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive the Lord.”
Dear ladies, the other day I was searching for a certain article on my computer and while doing so, the following birth story popped up! I read it again and laughed and laughed. I had printed this in Above rubies back in 2004 and here it was, still on my computer. Although it was written so long ago, I thought I’d share it with you again today. I know you will enjoy a laugh, and also enjoy reading again of the wonder of birth. I have contacted Suzy and she is so happy for me to share it with you again. And after all these years, they are still growing their organic grains, but sorry, it is too far away to order them in New Zealand!
Can you believe it? According to research by George Barna, research pollster for Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University, only six percent of Christians have a biblical world view! Well, when they did the poll 51 percent stated they had a biblical world view but when asked specific questions, only six percent proved it.
I know you will love this lovely poem sent to me by Ashley O’Brien.
