Originally from Bradenton Florida, I moved to Metro Atlanta during a Blizzard on December 7, 1985! I have the honor of being Mom to Candace Hames whom I am greatly proud of and cherish every moment I am with her! My Daughter Graduated With Honors, 2nd Graduating Class of Allatoona High School & is at East Georgia College at Georgia Southern University. GOD has restored our cherished relationship through my obedience to GODS call upon my life & greatest thing that I know about our relationship, she knows that what I believe I live, In Christ Jesus of Nazareth my Lord forever. Amen

If Jesus was able to rescue a wounded soul as I was... He can rescue you!

Conceived and born into a family parented by addiction, alcoholism, abuse and sexual perversion. Choosing not to choose sides during an ugly divorce while in my teens and with my siblings, in full rebellion, far from the ways of a believer in Christ Jesus of Nazareth, my thoughts were to get as far away as quickly as possible... further taking myself down a path that prays on the broken in the world without healthy support.
Praise GOD, He was ever present!
Returning to studying the Bible time after struggling time, but not laying down the mess that was my life until in an unequally yoked marriage to an addict, witnessing in horror and living in panic and fear, and it's effect on myself and our Daughter, as he lived the full blown life of addiction, in every regard... quickened my heart to go back to my first and only love, Christ Jesus of Nazareth...
and the rest continues unfolding to this day!
Glory to GOD for grace renewed each morning and sufficient for each day. Praise GOD, I'm not whom I once was! I believe GOD will not leave me the way that I am... even all these years later, at this moment... as He transforms me into the likeness of His only Son, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, His Only Son who held nothing back... taking on the wrath of GOD for All Sin, Past, Present and Future for Everyone and to come to save me over 2000 years later, by moving in and living in my heart, that He has restored!
In Christ Jesus, I am complete.
Do you know Him? He is Awesome and your life will never be the same... Christ Jesus of Nazareth, the Risen Lord of Lord and King of Kings... Read the book of Romans in the Bible to begin your journey and once He gives you ears to hear His voice to ask Him to forgive you of everything you have done, every sin forever, find a Bible Believing and Teaching Church close to you. Attend Church that next Sunday, give faithfully to GOD 10% of your Gross Increase into your life each week and be Baptized immediately as your public profession of your Death to Your Life, Burial in the Grave, plunging under the waters and Being Raised into New Life, No Longer Your Life, but Christ's life lived through you, being the Hands and Feet of Christ, taking Him to a lost, dark and dying world who need a Savior to restore them!
For the next month, camp out in the book of John to receive your instruction for living a Christian Life and begin to serve others in your Church, Family, Work and Community, to Shine the Light of GOD brightly into every area of darkness in a Lost and Dying World, as GOD has now done in you!
Be GOD Blessed and Highly Favored...

Drugs are wrong & using drugs & leading the next generation 2 do the same, is wrong. GOD sees!

PaulTripp: We need to guard against making understanding/living grace the new law, thereby contradicting the grace we are calling others to live.
PaulTripp: There's no such thing as independently keepable law, so there's no such thing as performance earned grace.

PaulTripp: Do you wake up with a sense of privilege that you've been given the thing that every broken person in this broken-down world needs; grace?
PaulTripp: How is that for many of us our relationship with God has not produced a deeper sense of need, but a smug, self-assured sense of arrival?
PaulTripp: When I forget what my true need is, I will name other things as needs and invest my life in anxious pursuit of them.

PaulTripp: Grace is essential in the small, unnoticed things and the great long-term things in life your life God planned before the world began.
PaulTripp: What you hope/dream/work/strategize for and what you celebrate when received will be determined by what you think you need the most.

PaulTripp: To acknowledge that we need grace at every moment and every way is an act of worship toward God that cultivates humility in our souls.

PaulTripp: Your need of grace allows you to see another person's need for grace through the eyes of grace, wanting for them what grace has given you.

Abba, thank You 4 this new day & chapter in You! Help my 2 glorify You Lord in everything I do.
PaulTripp: When grace is relegated to the religious dimension of our lives, our living begins to be shaped by a different set of hopes/dreams/values.
PaulTripp: The Gospel, without a deep recognition of personal need, devolves into a heart-hardening, pride-building system of theology and rules.
PaulTripp: Grace redefines your past, refocuses your present, and reshapes your future. Grace always leaves a trail of change.
dallaswhite: the day Christ saved me I went from living a life of limits to experiencing unlimited life - nothing is impossible for God!
I pray 4 both of my Candaces, Mom & Daughter. Please meet them at the point of ea need
Lord I thank You 4 removing the Spirit of fear from my life & always filling me w/ Your peace.

KerryBural: Ministry, however you express it, is giving your life away. Solitude is imperative to replenish the emptiness that results. [via @mikeglenn]
