          This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog . Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.   Ok I could not resist sharing this video of my 2 year olds first experience of pin the tail on the donkey. Of course- I am the one laughing hard- holding the camera. I am a wonderful photographer but a terrible videographer!!!  

2 Peter 1: 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that  you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be fruitful in knowledge? Some would say to know the Word by memory, and be very smart in all things. Is that what this verse is speaking of? Knowledge in this verse means- epignōsis Pronunciation e-pē'-gnō-sēs (Key) - 1) precise and correct knowledge a) used in the NT of the knowledge of things ethical and divine.     We are to have knowledge of all things ethical and divine of Our Lord Jesus and yes that means knowing and reading the Word, but that also means knowing His voice from any other voice. Or knowing what the Lord would have you do any given circumstance.   How do you know when the Lord is leading you? How do you recognize His voice?   Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me   Know in this...

As I tread through this book, it has become very clear that forgiving is a choice . The choice to forgive sometimes is not an easy one to make when 1. the person you are forgiving continues on committing offenses or 2. you feel that the offense is too great to let go. Allowing bitterness and unforgiveness to enter my heart puts the responsibility on my shoulders , and not the shoulders of the one who caused the offense. “Our society has become so riddled with rancor and bitterness we almost consider it a normal response to life.”(from book) Since when ,as believers, has it been normal for us to walk around with unforgiveness and bitterness in our hearts. How do you know if you are bitter? Here is a list of statements given in the book: “ 1. I often replay in my mind the incident that hurt me. 2. When I think of a particular person or situation, I still feel angry. 3. I have a subtle, secret desire to see this person pay for what he or she did to me. 4. I tr...

A dear blogger follower wanted to know about my bible purse- so I wanted to share I made it from a pattern- Simplicity Pattern #2658 But I also wanted to share with this sister that I did make a bible cover for my bible and posted here - This is the direction I used . Good luck- if unsure please ask. If you do not sew- I would love to make you one.   Angie

  What do you do when you feel like screaming- STOP don’t you see the pain you are causing in your words and ungodliness? What do you do when you want to JUST RUN AS FAST and as far from the evil as you can? WHAT DO YOU DO… Jesus stated that persecution will come on his account, Jhn 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. Mar 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. As you walk with the Lord, living His Word in your life  persecution is something we all must face. Christ loved others above himself- praying for those who persecuted him, and blessing them, and beseeching the Lord to forgive them. Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and...

This post is part of "Hi/Lo Thursday" on the Riggs Family Blog . Check out their blog to read everyone else's "Hi/Lo" posts and get your link on their site.       Hi- Finding out from Ray Ann that I was going to be a writer/contributor on Daughters of The Word . Lo- Hearing about Kayleigh Freeman…. as well as knowing in my heart that the longer we stay “here” in this place, this house, we are under attack spiritually for our diligence and love for Christ and the Word.

This song has been on my heart all day! A reminder that Jesus is a precious Lamb that was willing to come down for me!! I was that person whom “that went left when He told me to go right” . He was born into sin so that I may live again! He is a precious Lamb!!!    

My new bible purse… What do you think?

We participate in "Pray for Me... Pray for Others" on the Riggs Family Blog . Check out their blog to add your prayer request. Join a community of friends who care about you, and hope you will care about them. My needs seem so futile- in comparison of this great need so I will not be posting about me!! As I type this my heart is breaking for the Freeman family! Kayleigh went into surgery last week, seemed to come out to move forward, but as time past complications have developed. This sweet baby- needs you prayer Warriors!   Go to the blog for more information… http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/   Lord Heavenly Father We know you are in control of all things. We also know that you still perform miracles. We ask that you heal Kayleigh. What an angel she is to so many! Speak through her little life Lord. Show us your face through hers! Thank you Lord for this blessing! In Jesus Name I pray- AMEN

On Sunday our pastor spoke on 2 Peter 1- He spoke of the promises that we have in Christ- the divine power that God has given to us through Christ Jesus, which gives us everything we need to live a godly life. Read: 2 Peter 1:1-3   What “power” do you think Peter is speaking of ?   Through this power given to us by the knowledge of our Lord Jesus, we are bestowed great promises, which will enable us to live a diligent life for Him. A life in which we escape the corruption of our own fleshly desires and the corruptions of this world. However, we  must first add to our faith “these” things. Read: 2 Peter 1:5-7 What are the “these” things?     When these things dwell in us, then our lives are full of  “fruit”. What happens when they don’t dwell in us? Read : 2 Peter 1:8-9   A person becomes blind, short sighted, forgetting Christ purged him/her from his/her old sins. As we examine our lives today- can we see “these” ...

USE ME OH GOD- are the words I keep echoing in my heart. GIVE ME YOUR WORDS, oh GOD to share with the women of this blog so they may learn, and grow to be your servants to further the Kingdom of Christ. I am your humble servant and honored to serve each of you in Christ! Angie

  In a time where hope seems to be diminishing with the pains and struggles of life, Psalm 31 reminds us that we SHOULD trust the Lord with all things. He will give us strength and lead us if we will commit ourselves to Him. Psalm 31 “1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me. 3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. 5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.” The Lord can walk us through whatever it is we are struggling with if we only ask. As He leads us in His truth and ways, He will give us strength for His glory. He will pull us out of the “net” of our circumstances . As we seek to find HOPE again let us commit our trust in t...

  I wanted to share with you how my heart has been stolen by some very precious and strong little ones. Meet Stellan- the Knight of the Mckmama family. Stellan has a heart condition  and is in need of many prayers from the Warriors and Saints of Christ but he is a fighter, a Knight per say.  In the last few weeks, I have read, and prayed for this little one with my Warriors for Christ(my children),so pray for him- go to Mckmama blog to read more about him- you will be awed at the amazing strength this little one has!       Next is Kayleigh- She is truly a Warrior- and will grow to be Mighty testimony for our Lord Jesus- Her strength, and perseverance surpasses- anyone I have ever known.  She continues in her fight to prove to everyone that GREAT and Mighty things can come in small and delicate packages! To these two precious, strong and thriving lives for Jesus, who have stolen my heart from across the land :please know- I cry f...

  Thoughtful Thankful Thursday- This is so easy for me- I am so thankful for so many things, my children, a home, my salvation, but what am I most thankful for… Well, I will try to describe this most incredible person in my life.  My husband Samuel- How to share with each of you- how truly incredible, loving, kind, strong, and Godly this man TRULY is!!!  And these are not just kind words- these are truths that are lived out in his life daily.(which can be frustrating for my imperfect, failing self) My husband- Samuel- is a model to each of us(his family) of a sacrificial walk and the sacrificial love which Christ had for us. His life, his motives, his heart is to always displaying the love,grace and Mercy of Christ through all he says and all he does. He is the most unselfish person I have ever known. Each day with him, loving him, knowing him, watching him and his dedication to our Lord, has been the greatest joy in my life. He has shown me, challenged me, and e...

This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog . Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" Ok a picture is really worth a thousand words, but my beloved stated he did not think that it would be “appropriate” to place it on here so I will try to explain this story to the best of my abilities. There seems to be a common phrase in our home, “ you never know what to expect” that is lived out, especially in a house full of boys. I have 4 young men, and one little(2 year old) man, so trust me when I say that I truly do not understand the male species at all. My second to the youngest is 12 years old and truly does have a fun loving heart. We also have a two year old- who is not potty trained, so that means diapers and pull-ups. My 12 year old, spotted a pull up sitting on the chair in the living room. Each of us where so engrossed in our individual tasks. I was grading, and his siblings doing some school, so he...

Two or three weeks ago I started a book called “Choosing Forgiveness” by Nancy Leigh Demoss Each time I complete a chapter I will share my revelations. I started this book for the fact that I know, like many believers, I am walking around with un-forgiveness in my heart. No matter how major or minor that un-forgiveness is, I still know it is there waiting for the next situation to come to rear its ugly head. As I seek Christ in every aspect of my life, with this desire to walk beside him, I know that the un-forgiveness was something I would have to deal with. Scriptures state we are to forgive. Matthew 6-14-15 “For if ye forgive  men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. “ Matthew 18:35 “So Likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you if ye from your HEARTs forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses. “ I know exactly what is said in ...

  Assignment: Tell the world about your favorite woman in the Bible. Who is she? How did the world judge her? How does God see her? How did God use her? How has this woman affected your life? How does she inspire you to walk out your relationship with God? Esther is my favorite Bible woman. How did the world judge her? She obtained favour in their sight of all who looked upon her. How does God see her? He blessed her with favour among men and knew he would use her to protect his people. How did God use her? He used her to be brave, and bold in a time when bravery would bring death. He used her to fight for the life of  his people even with the fear of death. How has this woman affected your life? Esther- showed in adversity strength. She feared for the lives of her people, and with humility, prayer and fasting she approached the king with gentleness and love. She did not speak harshly or aggressively, instead she prepared her heart, prayed for his ...

  This week has been a week of service for the Sellers home. On Tuesday I just out of  the blue called a sister in Christ that I am still getting to know. I had not talked to her in a few weeks, so I wanted to see how the family was doing. She was talking and shared that they were in the middle of this very BIG and Difficult project ,for them in a house full of all girls oldest being 14 years old. It was around 4pm in the evening  at the time. During our conversation it dawned on her- I have all strapping boys(4 of them ranging from 18 years old to 12 years old- plenty of muscles to go around)  she asked what we were doing this evening and if it was possible for us to come and help. We ,instead of just the boys, came in as an Army  knocked out their project in 3-4 hours. The following morning we woke early to go help a recent widower- who had tons of yard work that needed to be done because of Hurricane Ike. While my men were out working in the yard- Maria ...

  This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog . Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.   Laughter is something that reigns in our home PRAISE the Lord and having a two year old around that loves to entertain certainly helps in the laughter. Of course I mentioned the two year old for a reason. At Two they are mocking birds in word and deeds. Here is ours, mimicking his Big Bubba shaving. Bubba uses an old fashion lathering brush with shaving soap- so the Cutest Baby decided to prepare himself for a shave- Just like Big Bubba! View Full Album

My dear sweet blog friend at Homespun heart brought up this topic today and I decided to form my answer on here:   What is a gentle and quiet spirit? Often times when I think on these things and imagine a gentle and quiet spirit- I think of a very quiet, mild mannered, kind person. Her voice is like a song, her words are like a hug, and her actions are always graceful. (ugh- trust me I did not just describe myself!) How do we obtain a gentle and quiet spirit? I have met many ladies who acted just like I described above and my spirit longs for what they have uncertain specifically how to be obtain it. Is it taught? Do you ask the Lord for it and he gives it to you? Not to long ago I posted about myself , describing what it was like growing up in my home being Puerto Rican.  In researching about having a gentle and quiet spirit I understand that the family of God transcends any cultural up bringing, or differences. The bible talks 1 Peter 3: 3-5 Whose adorning l...

2 Timothy 4:7 (7)  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Each day we wake we do not know the trials that we will have to face. How do you fight the fight when you have nothing left? When despair seems to set in and over take your soul in a situation, how do you lift your eyes towards the heavens and know where your hope comes from? How do you have “peace like a river” or state “it is well with my soul”? In 2 Timothy he states “ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” Often times that fight seems unbearable and despair sets in all the way down to our soul: 2Co 4:7  But we have this treasure  in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God , and not of us .2Co 4:8  We are troubled on every side ,yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 2Co 4:9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Through life we must fight...
