Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

So many people are bring deceived by the enemy. The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! We need to guard our hearts with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life
❤

So grateful I was pointed to The WAY, The TRUTH and The LIFE at age 17! BEST decision EVER! GOOD morning and HAPPY SATURDAY sweet She’s! I was EXHAUSTED!! All four of us, the two teachers’s and other para and I! WE did it!! First week of TK with a bunch of 4 year-old (about 37 all together) with all their unique personalities and all. I heard Ken Ham say at a conference: “We are all born sinful little creatures” AND yes we are! Thank you for praying for the other teacher (one of the sweetest girls I know) as we ended well this first week. We had lots of support come in to help (extra teachers, admin, intervention) Yesterday the principal came in at the end of the our day (we have early release every Friday) and gave us all a “HIGH FIVE” and congratulations! Funny….the para and I were so focused the principal had to “wave” her HIGH FIVE in our face!!!
❤ what a high note (or 5) with which to end the week!
I have two teachers in my group that had their first week too! They teach first and kindergarten for special needs. They had a rough, crazy first week too. I feel bad because our poor teachers are getting overwhelmed and burnt out so early in their careers these days because of all the added stresses of today’s time and exuberant children. I pray over all our teachers here and those that love Jesus trying to stand strong and firm in today’s culture! Love and Hugs, and High Five!
Thank you Rhonda!!! You’re so sweet!!
Rhonda I appreciate your kind of words!! We know it’s going to be a challenge with these four-year-olds. I’m grateful for the extra support that we’re going to be getting. Please pray I will be patient with a couple of them. One is the child of a family friend, and he’s very challenging.
I do too TINA! Thanks for sharing. Yes RHONDA… I have had “Many paths to God” quoted to me as well. Jesus is the way!
❤
I am sad. (I’ve mentioned it before.) I am a member of some forums for vegans. (I definitely feel like I am in “the enemy camp” there. So many people don’t believe.) There is one particular lady, though, that thinks there are many roads that lead to “heaven” and our home with God. (Her description of “heaven” is VERY loose, and thinks our Big-G God is the same as many other gods… nope!) She was a believer once and has turned away, OBVIOUSLY. I’ve tried witnessing to her. She KNOWS what is truth but denounces it now. I guess I’ll just continue to lead by example by what I say.
.
On another note… I listen to a Heidi St. John podcast. (Whaaaaat… I listens to podcasts? Well… ya!) The latest one is about families leaving the Mormon church. We have good friends that are Mormon, and I hope they will come to the knowledge of the (Christian) truth. We’ll see if there are tips and strategies I can employ to help them see the only truth.
.
And on another note. Thank you for your prayers for my health. Keep them coming, and thanks for letting me vent.
Adrienne, I am so glad you brought up the vegan issue. As I was reading about iron deficiency last night it mentioned the vest way to get more iron is getting more red meat in your diet. hmmm
Yes, I’ve read that vegans and vegetarians can be deficient in iron. There are many, many foods and preparation (cast iron skillets!) that can help. ❤️ Thank you.
❤
“I LISTEN” not “I listens”. I changed my grammar, and now the subject and verb do not agree. What a ding dong!
I didn’t even notice..with my Kentucky slang! hahahah
Good morning ladies!
Thank you for your prayers yesterday, meet the teacher went well! I was tired after, but my parents and kids all seem good.There are a couple I will probably need to watch out for, but I’m praying they are better than the very challenging child I had last year. The Lord is sovereign and in control!!
Speaking of that, would love your continued prayers…it’s been about six months that I’ve liked this guy from my church now. We hung out a lot last weekend with our young adults group, and I’m thankful to have felt more peace (instead of nerves) when I’m around him. Praying the Lord would provide clarity soon, and honestly praying that the guy would ask me out! But if not, I have to trust the Lord is powerful and can do anything…he sees it all. I’ve definitely learned a lot these last 6 months. I’ve recognized the envy and entitlement that is in me, and been praying and fighting against that. Thank you all, praying we rely on the Lord and see what he is trying to teach us in each of our different seasons.
❤
good morning, dear heart…in my prayers…
Continued prayers for you Sarah, and for God’s perfect timing in bringing that special someone into your life!❤️
“The way, the truth, the life.” There is no other way to heaven but through Jesus -no other name by which we can be saved. Every word He has ever spoken is true – and He is the truth because He is the Living Word. He is life. Without Him we are dead in our trespasses and sins. He passes that life on to us through salvation.
_________
Praise the living God for His gift to us of Jesus! Father You alone are holy, You alone are worthy, You alone deserve all the glory and praise!!
__________
@Adrienne – continued prayers for wisdom for the doctors who are treating you, and for answers to your physical problems. ❤️

Happy Saturday for all my She sisters, may your day bring you many blessings and may you be a blessing to someone today! ❤️
Thank you. ❤️
Yes and amen, Sharon! Thanks for the prayer; I need it after yesterday! ❤ praying that back for you!
Father lead me.
❤
Praying we all find the strength let our faith defeat our works-the struggle is real and it is hard to discern whether or not I am doing something because I want to or because “I need” to do it. The pride associated with our works is real and an idol I want to break down and burn!!! Jesus is the only way for this to happen! He is my truth and He is my life! Amen! Also if I could have you She’s surround me in prayer today- having a hard conversation with a non-believer and really want God to use it for her good and to bring her healing! Thanks in advance! ☮️❤️ She’s!!
Praying for you Allison – may God give you just the right words at just the right time, and may He prepare her heart to hear the gospel! ❤️
❤ praying for a true divine appointment for your conversation! Praying in agreement with Sharon. ❤
May you let Jesus shine and the Spirit lead!
GM Lovely She’s!
This verse along with a message by Max Lucado on the radio this morning about Eternal Life prompted me to reach out to a friend that her parents are coming to the end of this life to say..I pray the Lord will give you an opening to talk to your parents about Jesus- the only way to eternal life in heaven! That’s always kinda scary when you say bold words like that!
Many still think we will get the choice after we die. But for Christians we know the time is now! The mantra that is usually stated also by many is the “there are many ways that lead to God…” I’m not sure what God you have, but The God, says this clearly, that it is only through His Son Jesus Christ!
They will know Him when they know Me-Jesus! Yes Lord!! I know you now…thank you.
I want to not just accept Jesus as my Savior, which He is, but I made Him Lord of my Life! That means I follow His ways, I desire Him daily and have a growing relationship with him, knowing him better each day. I don’t want to disappoint him, I will, but I will know it and repent quickly. I will want to share his truth often and diligently. I will cling to him, and trust and obey with a loving heart. :)
Hi Rhonda J. Gosh, you really got me thinking this morning about how grateful I am that my dad (who is already in Heaven) and my mom and also my in-laws all know Jesus as their personal Savior. How sad to have your parents at the end of their lives and you are still trying to tell them the way to Heaven. It makes my heart so sad to think of that. I remember when I was working with the elderly and I felt like I had to have so much boldness in sharing the Gospel with them because they were going to meet their Maker most likely soon. How absolutely sad to get to the end of your life and finally get it. All that life spent searching after other things. Ugh. It makes me want to be bolder and more outspoken. The time is now. Your words encouraged me.
I know! We have talked with each other about Jesus, because she has come to church with me here and there…but still, kinda iffy on her Jesus thoughts. And now, her dad has cancer and mom heart conditions and no faith. Sad…my friend was just here and I was hoping to have conversation about it. She did go to church with me and went up for alter prayer, and then wanted to pray with me afterwards!! (a first). So I’m hoping that prompted her forward, and then I boldly sent her that text this morning…because I don’t want to know, and not instruct. It is her choice but—at least I sent my thoughts. (I also talked to her 10 year old daughter and corrected some of what her mom told her, that we all get in a big room and get to choose then!…that should go over well if she talks to her mom about it! Wouldn’t that be ideal if we could live how we want here and wait till after we die to decide…yeah, I think I’ll go with that one rather than the hot way!) Please pray with me that she at least thinks about it more and has conversations about it with her parents! Her dad isn’t facing the fact that is cancer is terminal. Thank you friend.
Lets be bold in love…and preach biblical truth.
Amen to all you said Rhonda! And praise God that He gave you the boldness to say what you did!…May He give each of us boldness to speak up for Him!
There is only one opportunity to receive Christ – and that’s while we are still living! It troubles me that I’ve even heard Christians say this about a loved one who died, when there was no evidence whatsoever that they were a believer – “well, he/she is no longer suffering” or, “he/she is in a better place.”…so sad.

Happy Saturday!
I think the same…almost want to say “Really…IS He/She in heaven??” I wonder what they would say!? It would maybe make people think about it more, which is the point right?
Rhonda, you post made me think about my dad. He never went to church with us, so I assumed that he didn’t believe in God. So it was very surprising to learn that for the weeks he was at the hospital before cancer took him, he met with a pastor every day to talk about Jesus. Sadly, I was not present when he died (that’s a whole other story), but I found out while I was driving. And as I cried, a peace came to my heart and an image to my mind of dad kneeling in front of the Christ depicted in the Divine Mercy painting, which is one my mom had in their home. Mom told me that in speaking with the pastor, dad was a believer, especially at the end. But childhood trauma and the ravages of war made him have a conflicting relationship with God. So, my heart rejoices knowing dad is with Jesus.
How awesome! ❤
Praise God!
Great word, Rhonda J!

dear Maria…peace, peace … be still
I don’t know why but this old non Christian song came to mind as I read these verses..
To know Him is to love him..by the Teddy bears..
The first verse goes..
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile(and sing over me, to feel His protective arms around me, to know that no matter my journey, He walks with me. To believe I have a friend who has me when lemons come hurtling at me, to know that by and in His mercy and grace I have nothing to fear..
To know He is with me wherever I go, and that I can be strong and courageous and not afraid..)
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him(Him)
Is to love, love, love him(Him)
And I do..
.
I ABSOLUTELY DO!
.
BUT GOD..
AMEN.
.
Be blessed dear hearts whatever your weekend looks like.. know, He is singing over you and yours❤️
.
(In brackets, my words)
So clever, TINA! Yes, that song could easily be adapted to our relationship with God. And yes, if we know Him, we love Him, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do. ❤️
Nice throwback to simpler times and doo-wop :)
❤️
Tina, what a blast from the past! I love it! Definitely can be used to describe our relationship with the Lord! Very clever, my friend! Praying for you! ❤️
❤️ – It’s so great when we can make everything about Jesus!…and love that verse – Zephaniah 3:17
❤️
Oh, Tina, my REALLY young self used to love, love, love that song. I think your adaptation is genius, of God of course! ❤ Thank you for the prayer! Back atcha, sister! ❤
Thank you Tina for the return to the past song and your wonderful adaptation!
To know Him is to love Him!
Blessings to you as well sweet friend! ❤️
Hey Tina
