Hey..Tink

I see you are the woman of virtue for the month..what a blessing these testimonies are to me..I have a question..

Did you go to Raul in the Karate Studio in West Covina?? That was my first exposure to Calvary Chapel. I RAN!!! Too much truth..I wasn't ready!

Loved your story..and a special thank you to a special lady Linda who does all this hard work.

Faithful blessings...

Thanks soul writer

Your scripture entry made me think...I am in awe of Jesus and His power to speak to each one of us right where we are in our lives. And praise God He still sees us and hears us.
His word says:

"Two are better than one…If one falls down, his/her friend can help him/her up. But pity the man/woman who falls and has no one to help him/her up! " Ecclesiastes 4:9,10

This scripture is what our lives as believing women should be about..we need each other to lift up, edify, encourage and correct as the spirit leads us. I am corrected many times by my dear and close friends about getting too close to the world. They do it in love and they know HOW I NEED IT. They see how the evil one has pulled the wool over my eyes. Sisters do not be deceived by satan in the world. Read, study and most important pray and be prepared to do spiritual warfare. God is good and He shall prevail! (I read the end of the book first!)

My Inspiring Scripture

Thanks for the push to do this! :)

The Scripture that has meant a lot to me over the years is Galatians 2:20

"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the {life} which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (NASB)

This is something I need to remember on a more consistent basis. Letting the life of God flow through me, rather than trying to live life on my own - doing things through the fleshly side of me. Not good!

The fleshly side of me is dead, because it has been crucified with Christ! At times in my life this has shown bright and clear, at other times, it's a murky truth, because I don't let the light of God and His Word shine on it, and I start to carry that dead man around again. Goodness! What a heavy weight that is.

When I really think about things and let that dead man fall off, realizing that the life I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, and that Christ lives in me -Wow! Why would I not want to have that be a reality in my life every day. Oh that I would grasp this truth more and more every day and let it change my life.

To Blog or Not to Blog???

Ladies,
sing4joy gave you a great challenge and you either don't look at the blog site, you have NO clue how to blog OR you are like me and JUST figured out HOW to get back on..well perseverance paid off!!! (Now if I could just learn to spell!) This web site is such a blessing and we need to (try) an utilize it MORE! To encourage each other.

Okay sing4joy here is my best Bible verse: Psalm 139:23,24
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." I prayed this scripture when my husband wanted to move from Los Osos to Fresno! And in my prayer I added, "Lord, if it is Your will bring a full price, pre-qualified buyer and let me just get this over with..my prayer was at 6.00 AM and at 5.00 PM that same day we had the offer! Being in His will is right where I want to be..Psalm 118:8...

I hope someone is out there and reading this and following the website. This is for us to grow in unity as daughters of the King...hope to hear from you all soon.

Be Bold and Blog!

So ladies, ... this is my first adventure, into the blog world.
I pose a question to you ......
What Bible verse(s) .... have so inspired you, that they moved you to a deeper faith and walk in your life in Christ?
Mine are .... Matthew 7:21-23 (King James Version)
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Another Great passage .....

James 1:22-25 (King James Version)
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

I encourage everyone to be Bold Sharing the Gospel and their faith in
our Sovereign Lord, Jesus Christ.
G B Y all, Sing4joy.
