An awesome book by author Dorothy Valcarel. How could a man with no wife, no children, no home, job, or money, and wandered the hills of Judea with twelve men relate to women.

She discovers every woman Jesus met, who faced many of the same challenges women encounter today, you can read more about this book here.

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
{29:12} 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
{29:13} 'You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Amen! Love and blessings to you!

I saw via another forum your post on PCCrafter, so thought I must just come on over and see how you are doing- I especially thank you for the lovely music you have on your site, some of which over the months I have bought.
Sending you a hug from england

Happy Blogoversary!! Wow, what a giveaway! I just found your blog today... I'll be sure to be a regular visitor.
Lori, you have no idea what a blessing you are to me. I know when days seem so long for me to finish I come to your blog and I get recharged from the Lord with your encouraging words....You have been a real blessing to me. May God Bless you to the fullest and bless you with all of the happiness you can handle.
Hugs, Kath
Happy Blogaversary to you! What a blessing you are sweet sister! I'm so glad you are a part of my life. Love, Angela
hiya lorie! thank you for your visit and lovely words!
Thank you so much! That is an awesome giveaway.
Lorie, I agee with the others that your blog is such a gift to us everytime we open it. It blesses me. Your way with words and letting God speak thru you is such a gift.
I've been studying Philippians and was looking at Chap. 2 verses 1 and 2.
I'm condensing it but I feel it speaks to your blog how you unite us in Christ. I'm sure we all come from different denominational backgrounds, but your blog honors Christ and Christ alone.
If you have any encouragment from being united with Christ...then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Thank you for sharing your heart,
♥
Joy
