Everyone Suffers at One Time or Another
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12
This must have been one of Paul's saddest times in life, he is in prison with no hope of freedom. He has devoted his life to the Gospel that is now under severe persecution and he is also experiencing rejection, and he believes everyone in Asia has turned their back on him.

WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting my website!!
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound: To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Isaiah 61:1
What a wonderful scripture verse... what promises are there... not only for the Jews than... but for ALL now. This Prophecy from Isaiah regarding what happens and what will happen when Jesus, the anointed one… the Messiah came onto the scene of history and into our lives. A scene of hopelessness, despair, the brokenheartedness and bondage will be transformed into a new hope, new life of gladness, praise and confidence.
The Jews who were the original recipients of this message… but it freely extends to Christians today. Is your life hopeless… is it filled with despair?? This world is broken… filled with sin and we suffer under the heavy hand of the Law, which convicts our consciences of that sin. Are you trampled under life’s heavy burdens or griefs??
There is one who can free you… he alone is strong enough to break our chains and proclaim God’s favor to us instead of the condemnation. He brings liberty to the captives and he heals the brokenhearted. He gives comfort to all who mourn…he gives beauty for ashes… and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness… all so we can be called the trees of righteousness… planted by the Lord so that he may be glorified.
When Jesus enters the scene… darkness is driven away by the light of his coming. He became our year of Jubilee… when all the debts were canceled… all the land returned to the original owners…freeing the slaves… and all are given a new beginning.
If we trust Jesus Christ as our savior, we are living in the Spiritual year of Jubilee, the year of the Lord’s favor. We have been set free from bondage; and our spiritual debt has been paid; we are living in “the acceptable year of the Lord.
Jesus has done this for me and so many others… he is now waiting to free you and to give you a new life… a victorious life… you no longer have to live in bondage… Jesus is waiting to free you today!

ABOUT ME:
I am a Christian foremost for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... a wife (to Don for 40+ years)... a mother (of two sons, Chris & Jimmy) a mother-in-law (to Melanie & Shanna) and a grandmother (to Ben 17yrs., Joey 16yrs., Levi 15yrs., Mackenzie, 11yrs., Eliana 10yrs., JD 8yrs, and Noah 6yrs. old)... I am a sister (to Lyle & Joe) and I am a sister-in-law (to Jamie & Diane... who recently passed away) I am also an aunt (to Kelly & Jessica who gave me my first GREAT NEPHEW Elijah), Tony, Steven, Aaron, Amanda and Eric). So... as you can see... I wear a lot of hats... and I love them all!!!
I love my family... however my relationship with Jesus Christ is my entire life. If I did not know or serve Jesus... my family would never matter as much. I learned a long time ago that keeping Jesus Christ as King of my life... would be keeping my life and family. He is everything to me and I depend on him for my every breath. He has taken me from a life that was full of pain and strife... into a life that is well worth living. You can read about... some of my life in my blogs!
