@michelle Patire love your post today! Agreed there is no need to settle. Praying for patience during the waiting period :).
Thank you for your transparency and heart, I am that person I feel like my comment may not be spiritually uplifting or full of wise wisdom I open my bible with hope the God will meet me there. Thank you for just being here today.

Each day I step past our western Christmas Day, I am keeping the Divine Light of Christ close. I am digging past our modern days and discovering the beauty of Ancient Christianity (from the east). I am learning what it means to read the scriptures in the original context they were written in and heard for the first time. And I embrace the wonder of it all. The wonder of grace. Of forgiveness. Of salvation. Messages from angels. The Angel of the Lord. An unusual, guiding light, the brightest star ever seen that shone upon the Messiah’s nativity. Theophany. The manifestation of God. First in the incarnation, and now in His Body the Church. Such wonders. We who possess the Spirit of God have been given the precious gift of grace. With this gift we are called to love God and others as ourselves. Let us learn to love well, Lord. Let us learn to be like You. We are Your image bearers, and we have all that we need to do what You have called us to do. May it be so, Lord, let it be so. Let us join the heavenly chorus singing, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God All-Powerful, the one who was and the one who is and the one who is coming!” (Revelation 4:8) Maranatha.
Peace to HIS people!
God’s grace is like a warm blanket on a cold morning. I just want to snuggle in and be filled with gratitude in His presence. Even before I open my eyes I want to praise Him. Another day! He’s given me another day! What will unfold or what it holds, I do not know. I do not fear for He is with me. With whom can I share this joy, this peace, this contentment? Lord, bring me across their path. Give me Your words to speak. Let their hearts be open to the saving knowledge of Who You are. Thank You for this day, this grace day, to share Your grace with someone. Anyone. All to Your glory. Amen.
Good morning and Happy Saturday. It’s dreary day ☁️ and I’m trying to get motivated to go on a run. My sweet running partner is out of state. I am so grateful for her! During these run walks, we talk, we cry, we lift each other up in prayer. I’m grateful for people like her. The day after our accident her daughter, who is also good friends with my daughter came over with their other good friend (I call them the threesome) brought coffee and breakfast for my daughter as a surprise. I am so grateful for these sweet special girls, that love Jesus and love my daughter. It’s been a week since our accident and as far as I know, my car is still at the tow yard. It’s messy. Please pray as I try to navigate rides for my daughter who goes back to school this week.
GOD, CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT are sooo glorious, sooo loving, sooo kind, sooo wonderful and sooo PRAISEWORTHY. Let us SHOUT this GREAT NEWS out wherever we go. Let us sing and shout their praises throughout the world and universe. How many times do I/we go to God or Christ in times of trouble or need or sorrow but I/we forget to go in the good times. We forget to thank God and Christ for the good things in life, to SING PRAISES, to SHOUT our JOY. REJOICE, REJOICE, HALLULIJAH, sing and dance for the Lord.
Thank You Almighty, Omnipresent, Loving, Caring, Father God for all You have done for me/us and given to me/us. Thank You Son of God, Emmanuel, Christ for leaving Heaven and coming to earth and dying for my/our sins so eternal life can be achieved. Thank You Holy of holies, Holy Spirit for remaining with me/us and helping me/us have faith and become more like Christ. Amen.
Be blessed and do something special for someone — maybe someone you don’t know.
Dear Gramsisue, you did have something to say. You lifted your sister’s with prayer and those are very special words. Hugs! May we all be bearers of the “Good News”. Happy weekend.
My app always crashes when I try to type up comments, but today I am thankful for the reminder to pray and rest, too.
❤️ glory to God in the highest
Do you ever want to comment but don’t know what to say?
That’s me today. Sigh
I have lifted so many of you up in prayer today-I have a huge list that I pray through.
So many of us seeking God’s will, his truth, His love, His grace, His mercy, His healing…
I feel like we are all family. ❤️
And I realize we are all God’s children so we ARE family. What a blessing!
Have a wonderfully blessed day sweet sisters.
Hugs to you all ❤️
Blessed Saturday She’s! As I read through the comments it strikes me that no matter what age/stage of life we are in, we all need Jesus so much!!! While we walk this broken road there will always be temptations, and sorrows, but, we have His word, grace, strength, and truth to accompany us on our way! He is indeed our “Bread of Life!” ( thanks @Tina for your words yesterday!)
As for some of the younger girls, I agree with others that you are in a much better place in your waiting with Jesus by your side, than to make choices you might regret just to satisfy your earthly desires. And it’s hard! But will be so worth it in the end if you continue to walk and wait with Him. I’m cheering you all on in this new year.
On a personal note, may I ask for prayer for a healed back. I’m going to PT and that seems to be helping, but I work with young deaf children and I need to be very active. Thanks and enjoy your day! ❤️
I usually don’t need Grace days.
Happy Saturday! May this day we see everything we have read about Jesus and have thankful hearts
Have a great weekend everyone.❤️
Glory and honor to God in the highest! Thank you, Lord Jesus!
❤️
I’m 30 and waiting, too! It is worth it. God has told me “don’t settle” and I wrote a song to myself about it! It’s my anthem – I will not settle for less than God’s best. Neither should you ladies who are waiting!!!
Just catching up on yesterday’s study. Two key points:
1. Jesus stood up for us, as well, in the wilderness. When He was tempted and stood on the Word.
2. Satan uses Scripture to appeal to our will, not God’s will for us.
(@Stephanie, your comment made this point evident! Thank you!)
Let us not settle. Let us stand firm and keep still on the foundation of the Lord. He knows our frame and knows our weakness. He will comfort us in our affliction. Let us not settle!!!
Happy Christmas to all who celebrate according to the Orthodox calendar! Glory to God in the highest!!!
Happy Saturday!
Searching – Same with me…jumping along myself rather than waiting on God for marriage (and boyfriends) always ended in A MESS and saddness, and more. I was so desperate for God to be my everything by the end of my second marriage with a young toddler. I thought how would I ever find a husband being 33 with a 3-year-old without a whole new set of problems (probably a divorced man with kids, and an ex…) Well, finally, after giving it all to God, and waiting on Him (the dreaded wait) God brought the perfect man to me. I can truly say that this time I got it right because of God and His gift to me. There are so, so many split families now, with the kids juggled around in the middle. I don’t wish that on anyone, it is sad for all involved and challenging, to say the least!
I suggest that if you have time today to listen to the weekly podcast! It’s really full of golden nuggets!
Have a wonderful wkd! I usually look so forward to Sundays for church, but my husband has been sick this week, we didn’t go last week because his cough had started, so we will not be going again. Saying prayers that he feels better soon and that it is nothing serious, only a winter cold.
Give glory to God by looking for how He is working around you and in you.
ELAINE MORGAN – praying that the Spirit will give you eyes to see the temptations when they are little so that you can squash them like a bug!
Thank you for the catch up day which I didn’t need cuz was able to read every day
Amen! ❤️
Amen!
Already one week into the new year – time really does fly.
Thank you RHONDA J for reminding us of the importance of staying in/studying God’s word, and the privilege most of us have of owning or having access to a Bible.
ELAINE MORGAN – praying for you, sister. You are an overcomer!
TAYLOR, SARAH D, KIMBERLY Z and others in a similar phase of life – praying for you, to stay in God’s word and to embrace this season of singleness, drawing closer to the Lord and His people. I was where you are many years ago, but without any prayer life … then I turned 30, had just had yet another failed “engagement” (question asked/answered but no ring yet (a sign I ignored!)), panicked, started attending church and married a long-standing member lickety-split … one of my bigger mistakes/failures/really poor choices. Misery took on a whole new dimension. Looking back now, the main thing I learned was to not get ahead of the Lord. Without seeking Him or His guidance, I ran ahead on a path of my own. Praying for you!
SHARON JERSEY GIRL -praying for you, that your mind would clear of the “junk” and be filled good and Godly thoughts ❤️
Amen ❤️
