"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect?"-Romans 8:33
    
    Most blessed challenge! How unanswerable it is! Every sin of the elect was laid upon the great Champion of our salvation, and by the atonement carried away. There is no sin in God's book against His people: He seeth no sin in Jacob, neither iniquity in Israel; they are justified in Christ for ever. When the guilt of sin was taken away, the punishment of sin was removed. For the Christian there is no stroke from God's angry hand-nay, not so much as a single frown of punitive justice. The believer may be chastised by his Father, but God the Judge has nothing to say to the Christian, except "I have absolved thee: thou art acquitted." For the Christian there is no penal death in this world, much less any second death. He is completely freed from all the punishment as well as the guilt of sin, and the power of sin is removed too. It may stand in our way, and agitate us with perpetual warfare; but sin is a conquered foe to every soul in union with Jesus. There is no sin which a Christian cannot overcome if he will only rely upon his God to do it. They who wear the white robe in heaven overcame through the blood of the Lamb, and we may do the same. No lust is too mighty, no besetting sin too strongly entrenched; we can overcome through the power of Christ. Do believe it, Christian, that thy sin is a condemned thing. It may kick and struggle, but it is doomed to die. God has written condemnation across its brow. Christ has crucified it, "nailing it to His cross." Go now and mortify it, and the Lord help you to live to His praise, for sin with all its guilt, shame, and fear, is gone.
    
    "Here's pardon for transgressions past,
    It matters not how black their cast;
    And, O my soul, with wonder view,
    For sins to come here's pardon too."

New Chapter in Life's Story begins....


I'm sorry that I've been AWOL on here of late...The last two weeks have been kind of a whirlwind around here.  A new chapter is starting to open up in my life and we're trying to get a handle on it.  I will blog as I can, but for awhile until the schedule gets worked out it may be sparse between posts.

So what's the new chapter????..

Well glad you asked.  as you know my baby graduated this Spring and now we are opening up to a empty nest as she moves on guess that's the life of a mom...I've worked myself out of a job.  So this summer I've been trying to find my next direction.

For the past year and a half I've been heading in this directions trying to get everything in line.  Last week was a very busy week as I had four job interviews.  Today I had one of the jobs offered to me so....now this SAHM for the past 22 years is heading out to find her way in the work force.  I'm excited about the next chapter in my life's story...and I'll still be able to do what I've been doing the past 22+ years.  I'll be able to use my experience helping educate other people's children. 

I will post as I can and hopefully soon I'll be into a regular posting grove again.  Bear with me please and stop by often to see if I've posted something new.  subscribe to my blog in side bar and you won't miss a post.
