It's my "Spiritual Birthday"!!

Remember the saying: "Today is the 1st day of the rest of your life"?! Well, 39 years ago, it really was the "1st day of the rest of my life!! Because of the love of a friend, Linda Brown, I met the Best Friend anyone could ever have - Jesus Christ - and He has made my life complete, my family complete, and my whole world right! I have never, ever, regretted my decision to give Jesus my heart and complete control of my life - every day He shows me how much He really loves me...and the wonderful things He plans for me are better than I could ever dream! I know that He only wants the very best for me and my life is abundantly fulfilling because of His Life in me.
I highly recommend that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior because: "...He is able to do superabundantly far over and above all that we dare ask or think - infinately beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams" (Ephesians 3:20)

Happy Birthday Daughter!

"Thinking" 2009

This is my goal for 2009!!! I am reading "The 4:8 Principle" in my devotions - a very good book by Tommy Newberry. He says that "no area of my life is untouched by my thoughts"....thus I need to choose to become "intentional" in my thinking and strive to "think like God thinks" in order to live a more joy-filled life - as God intended!!!

So....I am going to take this slow and work on my thinking! First, I am going to "create a fresh start" - and that's what I'm doing here!!! That's why the background is so plain!!!! I tried to change the theme and lost everything!! My blogging knowledge is at kindergarten level right now!! I need help from my Granddaughter Abby!!

This week I am determining to "celebrate God all day, every day - revel in Him!"

I am going to try not to "fret or worry" but instead - pray!!!! "Let petitions and praises shape my worries into prayers....letting God know my concerns"! That isn't easy for me, but I know I can do it....with Jesus' help!

I need to fill my mind and meditate on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not the things to curse." Phil 4:8 (from The Message)

So that's where I am "at" this week!!! If I can organize my time and my thoughts, I might even be able to post here on a regular basis!!! That's my goal anyway! What's yours??? Want to join me??? What can we lose?....better yet - what will we gain????!!!!!
