Coming Alive in Christ

Some of you know my testimony and for those of you that don’t really you can find it on the About Me page..

This is about how I came up with the name for my blog.


After I rededicated in July, my life totally changed.  I have never felt so at peace, so happy, so loved!!  I was doing a google search for dancing women and I found the one in my header.  I used to have her as my full header until I changed it a month or so ago.

Anyways… when I saw her I just knew that was the picture for me!  She looked like I felt, and still feel.  Happy, loved at peace with herself and with the world! 

I have never had this kind of relationship with our Father and our brother Jesus before.  I am so thankful that I have been reborn.  When I read that verse before I never really understood it, but now.. wow!  I totally get it!!  Makes you feel like you are breathing for the first time, learning to walk again, seeing things so clear and so different now!  It is just amazing!! 

This is the first verse that came to me when I was praying about starting my new blog, what to call it and what verse… I wanted something to show my new life and how I felt

I love that, He is rich in mercy, and by His grace I have been saved!!!  The whole verse just shows so much of His love, mercy and grace!!

then this was the second verse I found 

and thank you oh Lord for that!!  I am a new creation!!  I have been reborn!  YAY!!!! 

and here is the one I used in yesterday’s post… the verse I was talking about above, about being reborn!

Ok… and here is one more for ya… another favorite verse.

OK God!

You know how bad I was falling apart Tuesday God?  I kept asking You and Bro. Tom for verses? Well I didn't do my normal Bible study Tuesday but was trying to look in the index for stuff on grief, death, whatever... nothing was helping.
Hmm.. maybe I should have done my study for Tuesday 'cause guess what!?! It gave me what I needed.... Ok this will be long but this is from Tuesday and Wednesday's Bible study from my Mom's Devotional Bible.

 "Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:20

 

James 1:2-5 (THIS ONE IS A GOOD ONE! but aren't they all?)
Trials and Temptations
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5
The God of All Comfort
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

and love this one!!
2 Corinthians 12:8-10
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I just copied these from Bible Gateway since it was quicker than typing them all.
Man these might have come in handy yesterday but with all I was going through at the time too I just might not have seen it or understand it. Today when I was reading it, the first one, I was laughing, saying, "Alright God, I got it!!" See I think those are the times when I usually ask Him to reach down and smack me to show me something, that He does! Then I have to laugh and say alright, alright, I get it!! Thank You!!!! Pin It
