JustJoy-filled: June 2010
http://justjoy-filled.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
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!

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!

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 ...

JustJoy-filled: April 2011
http://justjoy-filled.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Encouragement for Christian women! Autumn Leaves 3 Column. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.”. Several years ago, I was in my office on the phone with my husband. Looking up, there they were!
