I have had many of those seasons and could have written your last few paragraphs myself! I, too, am a woman who have lived half her life without Him but am so very grateful that Christ has changed my life and the old is gone. Thank you, too, for your encouraging words and prayer. Forgive for not reading your post sooner!

Thank you. I...God led me to read this post today. Thank you. I know that darkness you speak of very well, and it has made John 1:5 so vivid in my mind when it talks about the light shining in the darkness and the darkness not being able to overcome it. I am so thankful for all of the healing that I have experienced, but I understand about the triggers and how you can be taken unaware by a return of the emptiness and darkness. Sometimes I get discouraged, because I think that it is behind me. But it is precious to me to know that it cannot overcome God's light and that it brings Him joy when I run to Him like your little baby grands, to be scooped up in arms of Love and comforted and restored. The verse you quoted from 2 Timothy was on my mind this morning as well. God has used you today to encourage and confirm His Word in my life. Thank you. I will be praying for you, Jenny.Tricia Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234452777402519933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-4905916305703219602020-06-05T18:28:50.673+10:002020-06-05T18:28:50.673+10:00Thank you so much for sharing your authentic self ...Thank you so much for sharing your authentic self with us. <br />I'd also like to thank you for your prayer today.

The love of God is one of the things I depend upon. He won't save me IN my sin, but he will save me FROM my sins, when I repent and experience that change of heart to walk with him. It is not a one time deal, it's a constant process, and I admire you for talking of your process as you go. Thank you for the encouragement it gives me.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-61833359032392071652020-06-04T05:17:40.583+10:002020-06-04T05:17:40.583+10:00I read your passage about Joshua 24:15 to my husba...I read your passage about Joshua 24:15 to my husband last night and he asked me to print out that portion of your post for him, for further study. You are an amazing ambassador for faith! It is a mystery to me how no matter how diligently we believe we are instilling the teachings of Jesus to our children, some will seem to fall by the wayside while their brother or sister continues to walk in their faith throughout their adulthood. We as grandparents can only continue to pray for the ones who have fallen away, that at some point in their lives they will remember the teachings of their youth and begin to instill those teachings in their own children.

Still, you have the most solid understand and approach to life and eternity, and that's a treasure. You very eloquently share God's truths, an ability I do not have but believe right alongside you. Your granddaughters are gorgeous - I'm trying not to be envious of the fact that you have GIRLS :-). And I'm noticing all the time you spend keeping up your household - preparing meals. You make me appreciate how spoiled I am by a husband who does all the cooking! Time spent in the kitchen doesn't go well for me anymore, though it did when our children were young. I know I'm better-suited for sewing and quilting. Our differences - yours and mine - make me more aware of God's ways - how uniquely He created us. I love that you so much enjoy stitching and creating these vintage-looking pieces, and offer them for free. You're a generous and gifted woman.

After seeing what the refining process is with gold, it is not gentle or easy, as all change is difficult, but the end result is worth it. So thankful to have the Lord walking through this refining process with me, as doing it alone would be impossible. Spending time in God's creation and with littles we love is so refreshing to our souls.

We've been Christians over 40 years but are still being transformed by our Lord. The verse of Joshua was and still is our verse. Our children were all raised in the 'church' but we see no evidence of them walking with Him now. Is that where 'when they are old they shall not depart' comes into play? Also, thought how can Blossom be having another baby ..........she just had one. By the picture, I can see they are growing fast and I'm happy there will be another little one in your family. Blessings to you.

The white on white looks so pretty.<br />I do not know a person, myself included, that has not walked through the valley of depression at times. Even in the Scriptures, different people experienced it. Depression is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you have an enemy that knows you have a purpose and greatness inside of you. You are a threat to that old devil. But even in the valley, He restores our souls.<br />We all testify that when Jesus saved us, we are not who we were. He grows us into His Bride. One day, we will be with Him. Then we will understand all the things that made no sense to us, or those depressed times that are so heavy. You are doing great. God will get you through it all. <br />People love you and truly would like to be like you are. You heart shows a lot more than you, are aware of. <br />I also love the Scripture Joshua said, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Powerful declaration. <br />The little girls are getting older and are as cute as ever! Kids help us grandmothers in ways that only children can do. My grandson stayed a few days with me. He could not wait for them to lift this lock down of isolation. It did me plenty of good, too! <br />Brighter days are ahead. And if not? Well, we have the LIGHT of the world...and we will be just fine!<br />Be well, Jenny.

Due to writing a book for my offspring, of my life...even leaving out some parts no doubt, there have been some hard days for me too...but part of not repeating problems of the past involves the knowledge of them and what happened too, so I feel compelled to write this. I am amazed at all your work; the latest one involving setting a table before us in the presence of our enemies is incredible. It is a verse I have had to cling to at times, when we had to go see some of my husband's kin who are downright nasty people. Rarely a visit that has gone entirely well...and the shorter the better. So keeping that verse forefront in my mind during those times has enabled me to survive whatever happened. And feeling that visits went ok when keeping that verse in mind!! (They are currently retired pastors, by the way.) Real life can be beyond belief!! Going apart from others at times is even told in the Bible...some humans are indeed difficult and we need some peace and quiet to recover. Glad you are feeling better now. Depression also can be a physical thing that most doctors seem to know little about. Our best doctor ever, also a GOD follower, prescribed for both me and hubby, taking a teeny amount of lithium per day...at the small 5 mg amount, it is over the counter here in USA. It does help!! <br />Wishing you all the best, ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529409389057290042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-73207814546441250132020-06-03T03:28:06.466+10:002020-06-03T03:28:06.466+10:00My dear, I sincerely think that someone who does n...My dear, I sincerely think that someone who does not have a few dark days of depression at some point in their life does not have a heart or a brain. Our great luck is to be able to lean on the Lord. This does not mean that we have the obligation to be immune thanks to our Faith. It means that we, his flock, can count on Him.<br />Congratulations to Blosson. A 26 pretty girl.
