New Life

Looks can be deceiving

On the outside, people see us getting older and frailer.   But looks are deceiving.   As Christians, we constantly build our belief, if we walk consistently with God.   We're growing deeper in faith, being spiritually renewed everyday.   God's glory lies ahead of us, as on earth we learn to appreciate His love and compassion.  Undaunted, we look ahead to eternity and a new body, made perfect by our Savior.

Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.   2 Cor. 4:16

Candle Business

  Tender Heart Treasures is the name of my candle business.   I started my business in July of '08.  Actually it started like a hobby first.. then it grew from there.   I recently did a fund raiser at our church..and it went really well.    What I really like about Soy is the fact that I can burn them without having it cause problems with my asthma.   Soy burns cleanly.  Doesn't put out that black soot, like you'd find in petroleum based candles.    The sizes I pour are: 16oz. and 8oz. jars.. tart packs; tealights; smelly jellies and hand sewn sachets... all my fragrances used are 100% fragrance oils.    The smelly jellies are really nice for offices as you don't burn these.  Just set them out.  

Just wanted to share about my business...  I've seen how the Lord works in this...and in every area of my life.  :)  mary

God Bless!

just some rambles

Sometimes it is easy to doubt God working in our lives.... When we don't see instant results to our prayers.  But that is the time to keep trusting and keeping our faith!!  Keep our eyes steady on the LORD!   He will not fail us!

So if you are going through difficult times,  keep trusting have faith in Jesus!  And wait on HIS promises!

I've been praying about something...a healing to take place.   And I start to focus on the part that I don't see being healed...then the doubt comes... then I remind myself to Trust in the one doing the healing...Jesus!     So, be encouraged dear brothers and sisters in Christ.     Look upon the Lord for all your needs...then give him your praise!

Follow the Lord

Follow the Lord at all times!   Don't give in to false teachers.  Follow the Lord!  Follow the Lord.   He is worthy to be praised - He is worthy to be praised.

A message given to me in prayer...   ~mary~

Designer Line

Prayer is always in style.

It is tailored for specific requests and is of breathable material conforming to small desires, medium concerns, large cares, and extra large agonies.

Its elastic stretches around the widest doubt;

its colors blend with whatever and anything.  Fitting for all occasions for all the saints,

prayer's threads of perseverance are tightly woven and interfaced with praise.  Those who wear it inside and outside the closet wear it well,  confident that the pull of distress cannot tear apart what God has designed and sewn in the heart.

Shine On

The Lord will give me songs to sing, often during my prayer time.    So here is a song he gave me...probably 12 years ago.

Shine On

Shine on, your love-

Shine on!   Bring in peace,  bring in love, bring in joy,   praises above.

Shine on Glory,  glory-- to our Father above! 

Mary :)

Encouraging Word

Bring all your needs to God.  Don't be fooled in thinking that you're not worthy, only satan would have you to believe this!  The enemy sneaks around, looking for anyone to latch onto.   Don't be fooled!    Give all your cares to Jesus.   He is the Light!   

Let Jesus fill you with His Holy Spirit!  Jesus is always with you,  Call upon His Name-Call upon His Name!

The world would have you think that GOD is too big, dull, and overburdened with world problems.   This is a lie of satan.   The enemy would have you think and dwell on this.

Take hold of GOD's Promises!    Wait on JESUS!   Be encouraged!

This message was laid upon my heart while in prayer.   1997   ~mary~
