Saturday, October 31, 2009. Get Right and Get it Right. 14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all! 17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do. Can to live in peace with everyone. Can’t get it right? We hav...

Face to Face: Holy(?) Discontent
http://terri-facetoface.blogspot.com/2010/01/holy-discontent.html
Friday, January 15, 2010. Have you ever been stuck in a place that you couldn't quite put a name to, a place of discontent? I've been in that place - I am. In that place. I'm not happy in this place so I dwell on it, trying to put my finger on the why's, the how' s, and the when's of it - as in, when. Am I going to get out of this? My hope, a false hope? Or is there something else going on in my mind, in my makeup? Time He does what He does. So why? Why do I still feel this way? To have unresolved expect...

Encouragement for Christian women! Autumn Leaves 3 Column. Monday, June 7, 2010. Weapons for the Battle. The first weapon is prayer! The final weapon is godly relationships. Try as I might I cannot fight this battle on my own! The enemy is mine! In the provision of my righteous God, the God of the angel armies, I find the weaponry to fight, to rest when needed, and to prepare daily for the war. Some battles will be fought over and over, but I am assured of victory through Jesus Christ! My joy is complete!

JustJoy-filled: August 2011

Encouragement for Christian women! Autumn Leaves 3 Column. Monday, August 22, 2011. 8220;Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:7-9. I saw the most amazing sight today: a Cooper’s hawk grabbed a Mourning Dove right out of thin air! That moment grabbed my attention. Just like that dove, Satan can grab us when we least expect it! What choice will you make today? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

This past weekend I had the privilege of speaking at a women’s retreat for the women of my church. That is the power of the Word of God! Our final sp...

Maturity in Spite of Me. 8220;Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

Encouragement for Christian women! Autumn Leaves 3 Column. Thursday, February 24, 2011. From Family to Foe. 8220;If an Ephraimite fugitive said, "Let me cross," the men of Gilead would ask, "Are you an Ephraimite? And he would say, "No." And they would say, "Say, 'Shibboleth.'" But he would always say, "Sibboleth"— he couldn't say it right. Then they would grab him and kill him there at the fords of the Jordan. 8221; Judges 12: 5-6 (MSG). Let’s take a break from the topic of weight loss. And when people ...

Encouragement for Christian women! Autumn Leaves 3 Column. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Beneath the Shadow of the Cross. 8220;But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” Luke 2: 19. For the first time in several years I’m actually putting up a Christmas tree! Now before you call me a Grinch, let me tell you that as an empty-nester, while married to a great guy, he is not a fan of decorating a tree. For me, Christmas is truly about spending time with people I love. In that late ...

Face to Face: April 2010
http://terri-facetoface.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. God has laid on my heart that I have been guilty of the very thing I dislike in others. isn't that almost always the case with us? A few weeks ago, I went through the 4 gospel accounts looking for instances in which Jesus rebuked others for how they were acting. I think I was trying to find justification for how I was thinking. That should have been my first clue that God would end up teaching or rebuking. Let me say also that I hate it when other people think that. I am a well-lo...
