    Another month…

    Here it is near the end of March and everything I thought I was going to accomplish has not been happening the way I anticipated.

    However, I have had a good week of study and prayer as I’ve been pretty well confined to a chair with both legs wrapped for my lymphedema.

    In my recliner time I was trying to decide if I could afford to keep this site going. And this morning I got a notice that I had a discount availabble that cuts the price in half for a year. Yes! So this site is good for another year. And, with a renewed sense of being obedient to God’s plans for me, I’ll be here more often.

    AND, the previous site that was tying me down finally expired and I could access this design again. So, once again, site changes.

    Life has been hard for so many with illnesses, weather problems, financial problems, relationshionship issues, and many other things, but through it all we can hold fast to the fact that God loves us and has a good plan for us as believers in Jesus.

    Until next time. Vicki

  • Discipleship

    Discipleship

    I haven’t been on here as much as I planned, and I am working to change that. Life, for all of us, can bring surprises that disrupt plans. I’ve been sharing some of my faith writing on Facebook, and today’s post is one of those. My hope is to get back to sharing here and then send to social media sites from here.

    As part of my draw to bring in the harvest, an important part is making disciples. I’ve been listening to a podcast that is helping me focus, and the podcaster has openly invited people to share what they hear with others, so that’s what I’m doing today.

    To make disciples we have to be disciples, and that means continual seeking in our relationships with God. What I’m sharing are the notes I took as I listened, and it reads like notes, but maybe it can help you in your journey of faith. – Vicki

    Somewhat lengthy early Sunday morning notes on the
    Building an Identity in Christ lesson from The Leaders Cut.

    You will always live your life according to your strongest belief.
    Your identity is not built on what you’ve done.
    Your identity is not built on what you are now doing.
    Your identity is not built on possessions.
    Your identity is not built on where you came from.
    Your identity is not built on who you know.
    Your identity is not built on who knows you.

    Build your identity on Christ for the abundant life He came to give.
    How?

    Build your identity on “you are forgiven.” God gives it so He can have relationship with you.
    Build your identity on your being a new creation. Not an update on your old you, but a totally new creation.
    Build your identity on ‘you are loved.’ Rom 8:38-39. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
    Build your identity on being God’s child. He is Abba Father.
    Build your identity on being a branch connected to the vine in God’s production of fruit.
    Build your identity on “you are paid for.” God paid the highest price.
    Build your identity on being an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus. God is the inheritance of his children-you get all of God.
    Build your identity on being a temple of the Holy Spirit. He will never leave you or forsake you. Psalm 139:7-12. You are never alone.
    Build your identity on being fully known. Psalm 139:1-6

    Word for the day

    2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (English Standard Version)

     

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

  • Resurrection

    Resurrection

    It’s 1:21 am, February 28, 2026. I fell asleep while watching a movie and now, I am wide awake in the early morning. So, here I am.

    I was finally able to resurrect the old site, with the old domain, hopfully retaining all my subscribers. I had to wait for the plan and domain to expire before I could bring it back to life with a new subscription. Obviously I chose for the simpler one again.

    I liked the deisgn of the replacement, and I can plug that in here, but without some of the extras, so for now, I’ll just stick with this one.

    Whenever you read this, I hope things are going well with you.

    The Lord bless you! – Vicki
