AN AWARD

I want to thank those of you who left me comments yesterday on my blog about Stinking Flesh.
I do know who I am in Christ.
I do know the price was paid IN FULL for me on Calvary by Christ's blood.
I do know I cannot and am not trying to earn my salvation.
I am just keenly aware of the fact that our wonderful Savior and God continues to conform us into His purpose.
My life verse is:
Philippians 1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
==============================
In the midst of my fiery furnace Sharon, of Rose of Sharon , gave me this wonderful beautiful award. Thank you so much Sharon. It is especially touching to me since it came at a time when I am feeling (in the flesh AGAIN) so Un-Amazing.
BUT my GOD is AMAZING and GLORIOUS and
LONGSUFFERING.
IN HIM, AND HIM ALONE, DO I PUT MY TRUST.

It really is wonderful to be reminded of the goodness of the Lord. Many times I have to just stop and remind myself that I am save and secure in His hands.

I love the things YOU KNOW....
I KNOW those too Susan...and this this time I REALLY KNOW....
.....but this life is a process....and what I love about you is your transparency.....and yet we both know the VICTORY has been won....even though we are still in the battle...at least I FEEL like I am on many days...ans somedays ...I just feel so battle weary...some of it self inflicted I am sure.....but also we do have a adversary out there .....and yet I do KNOW the Battle is the Lords....and I KNOW you know that...and I thank you for being you...so we can uphold you in prayer...and we know you do the same thing for us...

Who has had a real rough week spiritually but not enough guts to write about it .....to much SELF in my life....
Love your LIFE verse...and you too my friend.

How blessed it is to find a fellow sister in Christ, glorifying Him with her gifts, and blessing those who come her way! May He be very near to you, and may you constantly feel His presence!

As always, I appreciate your words about the journey we are on with Christ. It is a journey full of unexected dips, turns, and rest stops along the way. But, what a GLORIOUS destination!

I hope you will keep doing exactly what you have been doing. You are a blessing.gpyaeaxv

I keep clinging to Prov 3---common but a necc. daily reminder..."I will trust in the Lord with ALL my heart, lean NOT to my OWN understanding, in ALL my ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him and He WILL make staight my path."

He will complete His Work as you stated....He WILL make your path and your son's path staight as you trust in Him!

May you be encouraged

Hi Susan sorry I haven't been around fora while.

In my life I truly believe that God has allowed me to see my stinkin flesh so much so that I would understand GRACE and the need for the cross in my life every day, every moment.

Love,
Tina

Dearest Susan, you may not think you're amazing but to us you ARE! To think of everything you've gone through and still going through, your faith never wanes, it just gets stronger. I so admire that in you. xoxo

I appreciate that you are real and don't hide anything...maybe it is my age, but sometimes it is hard for me to be real. You encourage me everyday, and for that, I am very thankful!

Congrats, friend, on another award!
