'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
This was given to me for the third time in just a few weeks.
Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
What warm hearts you all offer
Thank you all for the kindness you have shown me with every Award. I am embraced. You Are a blessing.

Thank you for letting us know, Donetta. It's been a hard, hard road.
We certainly will pray for her and her family during this time. Thank you for sharing this with us. Blessings...
God bless her, will be praying.
So sorry to read of this loss. I will be praying.
On a completey different subject,
I stopped by to let you know that I included you in a photo collage of all the bloggers I've had the pleasure of meeting.
Love,
Debbie
I just wanted you to know I came by to visit with you tonight...I love coming by. You've been a busy bee, your grass looks so pretty and the sweet little ladies that give you those precious eggs are just so adorable. Isnt making new friends fun, I love meeting new people maybe thats one reason why GOD put me in the medical field, everyday someone new has touched me, and no one is ever a stranger to me, but there are those days we just dont "click" with some, but thats fine, thats what makes the world such a unique place, I LOVE how you shop, my Momma use to shop like that, not so much now since its just her and my step dad. I have been praying for Denise and her family, I so know this pain...and sometimes I still dont understand why GOD has allowed me to endure such, but it's in his plan for me, and it was made my walk with him a steady one and I know hes holding my hand all the way...
I LOVE YOU
& HUGS to all~
