Transformation

Romans 12:2 (NIV)says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will."

The posting of how Jesus' "face shone like the sun" during His transfiguration and the person who wrote it brought this scripture to my mind. I have personally seen the transformation of P~31 to the Godly woman she is today. God is so incredibly gracious to those of us who really struggle in our lives and He lavishes His grace on us. He knows the very center of our being and what makes us "tick". At the other end of the spectrum satan knows what makes us "tock". We must continually be in the Word and fellowship with like minded believers to achieve our transformations.

Everyday we are given is a new day to live and serve Him. "Call Him" every morning just like you would a friend and tell Him how your weekend went. "Seek Him" in the evening when the sun goes down and "Listen for Him" in every minute of everyday.

Today is Monday for me~
Yesterday was church....it was lovely, everyone seemed in good sorts.....although the weather has been freezing! It snowed on the mountains around the city where we live. Coming from Cailf. I never get use to that~we get a Southerly from the South pole....it is bone chilling~ i miss the warmth...
I guess I'm blogging alone...but that's o.k!

Debbi Bryson is coming to Wellington to speak! Yes....that's right she spoke at your retreat about 5 years ago...she speaks at all the pastors wives conference's/workshops....and all over...she's amazing....the Lord used her to set my heart on fire with a passion for His word...the first time I heard her speak I was so hungry for more...not wanting her to stop....
A bigger church is having her for a retreat here in the city....(through some Harvest connections) ...any way , the retreat had filled up before I knew and a could let the ladies know from our church....(i was out of country) when i found out i was devastated! But....the Lord is so good....Debbi because she is so kind and giving...offered to come speak to my ladies on a Monday night!
God is SO good!
They are so excited.....me too!
Calvary Love~

His face shone like the sun!

I was so touched with the portion of scripture (Matt 17) where Jesus was transfigured on the mount.... His face shone like the sun...His clothes became white as light and the snow....the radiance from Him...we forget sometimes who He is.....in the book of Revelation chp 21:23 the city had no need of the sun and the moon to shine... the glory of God illuminated it...The Lamb is it's light!
Is the Lamb our light is He mine? Do we, do I let Him lead me, us? Do we know who He is? Do we realize how incredibly Holy and awesome He is? Yet He is for us.....interceeding on our behalf.....I'm in awe at His presence in this passage of scripture....
I love the light, the sun...the warmth it brings me...the joy I feel on a sunny day....the way it makes the flowers grow...a rainbow after the rain...clouds with beaming sprays of light bursting through them....all of this reminds me of Him....
Sometime we can get lost in all the day in and out things we do....and miss the Light~I do sometimes~His Word always draws me back....close...His mercy is so kind....He has such compassion...I'm left hungry..longing for more....
just thought I'd share.... :~)
Love P~31
