It's an Honor and A Privilege!

"Being a GOOD friend, and having a GOOD friend, can enrich your days and bring you lifelong satisfaction." [Sue Brown]

"Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." [Henry Van Dyke]

What are YOU Growing???

Influence often isn't noticed until it blossoms later in the garden of someone else's life. Our words and actions may land close to home, or they may be carried far and wide. {Pam Farrel}

What Do YOU Smell Like???

As far as God is concerned there is a sweet, wholesome fragrance in our lives. It is the fragrance of Christ within us. [2 Corinthians 2:15]

I Scream...You Scream...We All Scream For Ice Cream!

We Know NOT... If we ASK Not!

Lady Princesses – a few weeks ago you all peppered me with some very thoughtful and thought provoking questions. Well, as promised I reached out to our leadership and here are the answers you seek.

Please feel free to readdress any question you may have regarding these responses. Remember we are about promoting growth – either intellectually, emotionally or spiritually – so whatever you need – YOU must be willing to ask. Bell well – Mrs. Renata

1. If all religions believe theirs is right how do we determine who is right?

a. The main proof of the trueness of the Christian faith is the resurrection. No other religion claims to have a savior who is perfect, spotless and sinless yet lived, died and was resurrected for the sole purpose of saving humanity.

b. Our experience with the Lord is not just a philosophical experience but it’s a personal and relational experience where Jesus comes to live in our hearts. No other religion claims that.

2. What is the difference between Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal etc…?

The main difference is that there are different areas of scriptures that they each emphasize. For instance, Baptist by enlarge emphasize the ritual of baptism. Pentecostals and Charismatic emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit.

Lutherans came out of the Catholic Church due to the insistence by Martin Luther that salvation was by faith alone and not by the man-made rules that the Catholic Church made up. Episcopal came out of the Catholic Church as well but they did not see the Catholic Church as the only true church nor did they esteem the pope as any nearer to God than ordinary men.

Thanks Pastor Kim!!!

...Lean On Me.

Too often the I-can-handle-it-myself society we live in seems to promote loneliness rather than friendship.

Friends are an important part of sharing the burden and worry of each day.

[Sheri Curry]

Indisputable!

We have ample evidence...

that the Lord is able to guide.

The promises cover...

every imaginable situation.

All we need to do is to take...

the hand HE stretches out!

[Elisabeth Elliot]

Just For Today...

Let God have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. {1Peter 5:7}

Take Courage in ME!

“Be Strong and Courageous! Do not be afraid of them! The Lord your God will go ahead of you. HE will neither fail you nor forsake you.” [Deuteronomy 31:6]

My Princess…

You need never be afraid to stand up and do what is right, My child. I will always go ahead of you and prepare the way. I rescued Daniel form the mouth of the lions and delivered David from the hands of his enemies. Can you trust that I am strong enough to handle any situation?

I truly want what is best for you. Take courage and walk in My strength, not your own. Face every situation head-on – armed with the sword of the Spirit, the belt of truth, the armor of righteousness, and the shield of faith.

You never need to turn your back and run—I will empower you and protect you. Just stand firm and pray, and watch your courage become contagious.

(Sheri Rose Shepherd, (2004) His Princess: Love Letters from Your King, pg.75)

Daily Guidance

But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good. [1 Thessalonians 5:21]

What's Up With Your Thought Life?

"Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt 12:34)

If you were measured by your thoughts -- would you be bankrupts? How exactly would you measure up?

Are you a princess, with your mind set on things above, in the Kingdom? Or are you a commoner, with your mind set on things of little value?

The scripture counsels us; "We demolish agruments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5)

God's Word is your RESOURCE -- in it you will find ALL that you need to create a BEAUTIFUL Renewed MIND!

"Finally whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things" (Philippians 4:8)
