Good morning and explanation ;)

Hi there.
I hope I am not confusing anyone by some of these posts conflicting.  I started a blog called Bits of Blessing in 2012. However,  I wasn't sure how I wanted to proceed and what the exact focus was. I wasn't working at that time. I had tons of ideas. I wanted to do the blog for sure but had more interests to explore than I felt the scope of the blog could cover. Therefore, I also set a site in motion as a companion for it.  That way, anything that was off topic, or I wanted to explore into lots of detail, would have a place for that which was easily accessible in looking through.

Since that time, I have gone back to work and am otherwise obligated most of the time.  Last year, I also started a blog devoted to my fascination of growing plants.  However, I am saddened to say that lack of time has killed off all attempts I had made. I have resolved to put that on the back burner for now until I have more time. Also, The website has links that need to be changed before I can add content.  I still want to do that but it is another time issue.

I felt I needed to change the name of the blog because I noticed that there is also a BIts Of Blessings TM 2011. So, separated only by a single "s" and a TM 2011 was too close for me.  So, that is where we are now.  I have  transferred the old posts from Bits to here. I plan to post as often as I can. I have a lot that I want to share. I hope that you find it worth your while to come back (often).  ;)

God bless you all.
See you soon.

Blessings From Above and Within

I have some stuff on my heart this morning. Some of it I am sure that I am not consciously aware of.  I just know that God is touching my heart.  I was re-reading a previous post and started listening to "Thank You" by Ray Boltz. It is one of my favorites. That led me to think of a couple of others.  I love the words to both.  I feel God speaking to me through both of them.  I won't go into detail but I'm sure that we all have something that draws us to be able to relate to both. I will probably post a third, as well. God bless us one and all. Draw close to Him.

We should always expect to win.
"Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
 ~ Mark 11:24


Expect To Win - Ivan Parker

I like that the next one gives a little backstory of the writer. The first time I heard this, it became a favorite.

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5


I Can't Even Walk - Tony Greene


The last one for now is one from years ago, 1984, to be exact.
"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all." ~Mark 10:15

~~~~ Welcome! ~~~~

Hello!  Thank you for taking time to stop by.  I have been planning this for a long time, in different forms. I have started and changed and dropped and picked up again due to time or circumstance. Yet, through it all, I feel God leading me again to blog.  I will transfer some content over to this blog from a previous one and then keep the new posts coming as I can. It is my hope and prayer that it may touch others and help them to get into a deeper relationship with God, themselves, and maybe even other people in connection with this page. This blog is going to be a little bit of everything. God is everywhere. To Him be the glory!  He is in the soccer practice, the work commute, on the radio, at the movies, in your prayer closet and at the dinner table. He goes with you throughout the day, everywhere you go, and is always at your side.  It is a humbling thing and one that we should cherish and treasure, that He calls us His own. 

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet."  ~ Matthew 5:13

I believe that there is no better place to be than tucked up in the arms of God. He truly deserves all of our praise. I want to share all that I am finding and learning. Maybe we can journey together. If you have any questions or constructive comments, please feel free to share.  

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." ~ Proverbs 27:17

I am passionate about getting into the Word somehow and finding for myself what it says in its entirety. There are many different ways to get drawn into the scriptures. I will post about as many as I know of or can find. I think, in some cases, it's kind of like dieting. You have to find what method works best for you and that may not be what works best for others. Whatever form gets you to get into it, reading it, and digging around for its value and truth, that is the best way for you. <3 

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." ~ Hosea 4:6

So, how can we have knowledge and ensure that we and our children are not forsaken?  Get into God's word and abide by it. It is both His instruction booklet and love letter to us. He doesn't and won't literally forget us. Yet, He doesn't have to save us if we are walking in a line that is out of His perfect will.  And, when we are walking in His will, He is so very  mighty to save!!

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." ~Romans 10:17

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5

I look forward to sharing things with you and learning a bit about you as well. Always feel welcome to let me know if you would like more info or resources on a topic. I will do my best.

"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." ~ Matthew 18:20

God please bless this blog and all those that may look upon it. Let Your glory shine through always, Father. I thank you for this and so very much more. 

In Jesus' sweet, mighty, precious, and holy name, Amen.
