In The Process

My Brother in Law part 2

On Sunday, May 4, 2008 my bil went home to be with the Lord.  In the next few posts I plan on sharing a little bit about Hector, his wife Teresa, and the events leading up to that Sunday.  In the mean time I ask for prayers for my husband and children, my father in law, numerous cousins and mostly for Teresa, his wife of only 3 weeks.

God's Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be [8] against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. [9] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.                                        Romans 8: 31-38 ESV

Amazing...

I just recently found an amazing blog.   This family is faced with some hard things right now but through it all you can just feel the love they have for the Lord and His will to be done in their lives.  These are people I wish I could know IRL.  If you have time visit their blog (click here).   Prepare to cry and also to be amazed by God's grace.  Blessings to all who stop by!

Jesus, Thank You

Today for communion Sunday we sang one of my favorite songs:

Jesus, Thank You
The Mystery Of The Cross I Cannot Comprehend 
The Agonies Of Calvary 
You The Perfect Holy One Crushed Your Son 
Drank The Bitter Cup Reserved For Me 
 

Chorus: 
  Your Blood Has Washed Away My Sin 
  Jesus, Thank You 
  The Father’s Wrath Completely Satisfied 
  Jesus, Thank You 
  Once Your Enemy Now Seated At Your Table 
  Jesus Thank—You 
 

 By Your Perfect Sacrifice I’ve Been Brought Near 
 Your Enemy You’ve Made Your Friend 
  Pouring Out The Riches Of Your Glorious Grace 
  Your Mercy And Your Kindness Know No End 
  

This song is so awesome!  Thank you Jesus for washing away my sin!
  
   

In The Process

The first entry...oh what to write?....

First I will explain the title of my blog "In the Process".  Through Jesus' death on the cross I am justified before God.  I am still "in the process" of being sanctified.  This idea is such a comfort to me!  There are many days when the weight of trying to be perfect has me very down.  Yet when I look to the cross and realize that Jesus is my perfection and I don't need to be perfect I rejoice greatly.  I am so thankful that I am "in the process" of becoming like my Lord! 

Thank you Jesus for being my sin bearer!

Blessings to all!
