Happy Friday!





Thank you to everyone joined on last night’s Facebook Party. Thank you to everyone for sharing their honest responses during our live session. This has not been an easy study and I know it’s hard but I believe in my heart we have all grown and are better for it. Shame no longer has a hold on us, we can let go of the unnecessary baggage and lay it at the foot of the cross. Jesus paid a high price to set us free from all the “stuff” life has thrown our way.

If you want to dig deeper in this week’s study, the prompts on pages 112-114 give you the Scriptures where you can find the stories of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba in the Bible. It's for further personal study!

I'm praying for you to have the strength and courage to finish all of the assignments in this study! Don't be afraid to dig deep. And do the "Never, Never, Never... Now!" and Silence Shame by Speaking Blessing exercises (in the yellow pages) this weekend.a

Choose to believe what God says about you in His Word and to trust that He will somehow make a way where there seems to be no way! Consider reading the following simple declarations aloud every day for the coming thirty days:
• I am FORGIVEN: God has removed my debts.
• I am JUSTIFIED: God has totally changed my state.
• I am REGENERATED: God has transformed my heart.
• I am RECONCILED: God himself has become my friend.
• I am ADOPTED: God has changed my family.
• I am REDEEMED: God has changed my ownership. I am his.
• I am SANCTIFIED: God has changed my behavior.



Love & blessings!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
