Redeemed by His Grace: June 2008

Redeemed by His Grace. Sunday, June 22, 2008. My Journey from Gluttony.not quite what I expected (Part II). Not a single pound lost! I even purchased personal training sessions to help. I started to wonder if maybe I wasn’t eating enough food because it seemed like I was eating good food. Why wouldn’t the pounds come off? Can you believe there’s a book out there that says it’s not your fault? Well, in my case it kind of was my fault to a large degree but after reading this I see how there were many facto...

Redeemed by His Grace. Tuesday, March 9, 2010. I Gave Up Coffee for Lent…Then I Took It Back (Part II). When I was weighing the decision yesterday to drink coffee, my first instinct was to go to a place of “I am letting God down” mentality. Quickly I heard the admonishment, “this does not change how I see you and do you think you can do anything at all? I cannot win favor, earn his love, or do any good at all in my own ability or strength. The fact that I have any ability at all comes from His righte...

Redeemed by His Grace. Monday, April 19, 2010. Women as Redeemed Image Bearers. I wanted to post the teaching I did for a woman's training day at our church. It is pretty lengthy as it includes a lot of scripture. I wanted to share you with you a little bit of my own journey in trying to discover my identity in Christ. Imago Dei – Created in God’s Image. In order to understand our redeemed identity, we need to understand God’s desire for creation. Why were we created? Where did it start? Genesis 1:26-27 ...

Redeemed by His Grace. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Naked and Unashamed - God's Glory. Our time in each other’s presence was spent holding each other, talking through our fears and our hurt, praying to God about what we were supposed to do, how to respond, how to move forward relationally. We found amazing comfort in physical intimacy…absolute oneness. Lovemaking started with prayer, continued with prayer, and finished in prayer. It was a brand new experience altogether. Sunday, October 23, 2011. I absolut...

Redeemed by His Grace. Sunday, November 6, 2011. God's Hand on My Life. I wanted to share this moment I had with my daughter yesterday as it blessed me greatly. It has always been God’s hand on my daughter that brought me to faith! I felt like I had to share this beautiful story! I started taking her to a little chapel at the base we lived on that year. It was so cute…she really didn’t know who God was and for the longest time believed that the minister was God. She was pondering ways in which she could ...

Redeemed by His Grace. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Thankful for Light in the Midst of Evil. I am truly thankful for evil being thrust into light…even in the midst of a self-motivated agenda. Many who know me intimately will know exactly what I am talking about and others hopefully will understand the heart of what I am sharing even though the details may seem cryptic. The LORD Is My Light and My Salvation. 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;. Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? To gaze upo...

Redeemed by His Grace: December 2011
http://redeemedbyhisgrace.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Redeemed by His Grace. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. I am currently reading One Thousand Gifts A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp right now. Ladies, this is one you will want in your library; it is poetically written and theologically sound! 2) Jesus: White as Snow. I am thankful my husband sees me as Jesus sees me…white as snow. He does not see me through my behavior, choices, or lack of thankfulness (ingrate). 4) Jesus: Freedom. He enjoys it when I am free to be me! 7) Jesus: Love...

Redeemed by His Grace. Thursday, October 23, 2008. God in the Details. Have you ever noticed how many details there are in a leaf? What about a flower, or a sunset, how about humans? What about in the struggles of faith when my heart is hard and I know the bible answer but want to experience it in a greater way? Why do I think God will not show up there? Why do my prayers have to be so extreme? What am I afraid of surrendering? How gross and prideful is that? Today I believe that about my brothers and si...

Redeemed by His Grace. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. My Path to Submission. My initial response was “well, he needs to earn my respect” along with other not so kind responses. I had no idea why at the time and I certainly was not interested in going to my past for the answers. I love this passage from Rebecca Jones who wrote the book “Does Christianity Really Squash Women? Of the grace of life, so that your. Prayers may not be hindered. 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himse...
