Hello Gals

Nope, I haven't figured out the rest... but I just changed my name... lol - which will probably be figured out... since you all knew who I was before! We need to have everyone post and give clues, eh?

Tonight I was sitting out on the porch swing with my hubby and I was looking up at the trees just on the other side of our fence. I loved seeing the contrast of the leafy oak branches against the brilliant blue of the sky. My heart just wanted to drink it in... I even pictured myself having a straw and doing just that! I was meant to enjoy beauty - do I pause often enough to truly do that?

Then a bit later I was watching the ants cross our patio - what a wonder it was to enjoy these amazing little creatures - not in my house! (heehee) I noticed (again) how they touched each other as they passed on the 'path' - exchanging information - connecting just for that brief moment in time, but gaining a wealth of information! What a lesson we can learn from these little ones, if we just take the time to ponder.

What do we do when we 'come to church' - are we willing to connect with our sisters? Or is it just a 'hi how ya doin' without really connecting? We as God's children have so much more to connect with than the small ants... something to think about.

Have a blessed Labor Day Weekend!

Way To Easy!!

I was just way to easy but you are right..it is I..uh,me..uh, Ann. Have you figured out the rest?

For those of you who did not attend the summer study we wrapped up last Monday evening and it was a wonderful blessed summer. We were never less than 10 and most of the time 18..God is so Good and kept us focused.

Congrats to those who are memorizing the Book of James...last I heard they too were very blessed and coming right along.

Be ready for the new study this fall..it is amazing ..Jesus in the Upper Room with His disciples...and we get to be a "fly on the wall"...

Many Blessings!!!

Yes... Ann

That makes total sense... I reread the post with her in mind and it definitely has her 'tone' :) And the screen name... lol

guess

just a guess but I would Guess- Ann

"Real Names?"

I asked about that too and spiritthing and I thought it would be a great game to figure out who is who...so I have figured out some but not all...I wanted to know in particular who was "earthen vessel" because I wanted to be her soul sister "cracked pot"! Due to the fact I could not negotiate the BLOG site the first time and created my own Blog, I could not use the "cracked pot" name again! No one has blogged on my blog I accidentally created...should I be offended?

Okay, Pamela...who am I???

Tag your it!

'Real Names'

Some of you post under a screen name and I was wondering until I know 'who you are' if you could put your real name at the bottom of your posts? That would be awesome! :) Thanks.

Tickle Bugs

On my walk that I take, there is a neighborhood that I have dubbed "Tickle Bug Hill".
I found the name to be fitting, because all along the skinny sidewalk that encompasses these lovely homes are cute little tickle bugs.
Oh you know, the little bugs that resemble mini gray buses. Well, as I try to side step these buggers (probably looking quite strange to any on-lookers), I notice these poor little guys feverishly trying to get from one side of the walk to the other.
As I studied further, I also noticed they had no plan in their travels, no set route. Some sadly ended up flipped over with all a million legs moving in the air.
Watching this chaotic scene, I was reminded of a time before I surrendered my life to the Lord, how I must have looked like these little tickle bugs; hurried, maybe even busy- but going nowhere - no set course, no real reasons-only swayed by the thought of something better around the corner. Never satisfied.
While proceeding with my walk, and leaving those tiny confused bugs behind, the Lord gently encouraged me that even in my Christian walk, I must desperately keep Him my purpose, my compass, my goal. To continue to allow the Lord to set my course and in faith yield to His direction. His GPS is the best!
Hebrews 12:1 & 2......and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Book recommendation

Hello Ladies! So, I just finished reading yet another Ted Dekker book- he is my favorite after all and I wanted to recommend this one to you. It is co-written with Bill Bright and is titled Blessed Child. It blew me away really. In fact one part of the book was so intense for me that I felt like I needed to stop and pray before I continued on to finish the book. It will hopefully inspire you to wake up in your walk and increase you faith. It is fiction mind you. So, that is all just some recommended reading... Blessings:)

Hallelujah!!!

By the immense Grace of God I had an ephinany and I think I made it to the blog site. I praise God for this great new avenue for the Women's Ministry and just pray I can figure out HOW to get back here again someday. God bless all of my sisters-in-the-Lord. ANd a special thanks to spiritthing for this site and her dedication (filled with laughter) to get me to this point!

ROCK ON!!!!!

What a great idea!

How fun is this! Thanks Spiritthing for this outlet to share and encourage one another. It will be exciting to see how the Lord uses this blog page.

So, to my sisters in the Lord........HELLO!

New Link Back To CCPRWM Site

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that I've added a link back to the website for easy return.
It is located at the bottom of main "blog"page. Blessings to all!

Pamela Here

It's so good to be here. I look forward to reading what others will contribute and to contributing my own stuff once in awhile. :)

We have been a part of Calvary for over 3 years and I'm finally feeling like I'm becoming more a part of the body, because Phil and I have decided to become greeters. I'm also, (finally!) going to be attending the Women's Bible study regularly. God is really calling me to get to know more women in the this body of believers - so watch out! I also hope to join the prayer ministry soon... I'm waiting until Phil is feeling better (he's had lots of health stuff these last several months) since I'm his transportation to work, and I don't want to have to have him there to early on Thursdays!

I'm beat and need to head to bed... lol so I'll check in later and I'm so looking forward to this!!

Tinkie's in...

Hi girls...this is it. My first ever official blog. So far, so good! Thank you so much Ms Spirithing for creating such a beautiful site to collect our interests and fellowship.

I praise God that He, and He alone is faithful to each of us, and collectively as a body at Paso. I'm thankful for the labors of love that have continued at our church. I love being a part of the building up of a church body and finding that whatever happens, God remains. These are good things to think upon and cherish. And I love my sisters who forge ahead to let this world know that we are here and we care. Thank you Heavenly Father for gifting my sisters and calling us to make a difference for You. You create the gift, wrap it up, place it in our hands, and delight for us when we, in faith, simply stretch out our arms to another. Love you girls...
