Mr. Brigadare J.Manradge

Let me tell you about this man maybe I shouldn't...I meet in in Skegee and his name is Briggy Suga. Ha, Ha just joking but I did want to use my blogging time to exhort my husband of 20 months nine days, three hours and about twenty minutes Mr. Brigadare J. Manradge. A name that strikes you with the tone of strong leader, and that he is. His mother must have had an inclination of what his character would encompass. Brigdare, really knows how to take ownership of a situation and follow thru. He always takes time to think things thru. He often walks around the house repeated things to see if he really understands them. In his display of godly leadership he is very much so teachable. He does think he knows everything when it comes down to the things of God. He accepts criticism well and continues on the beating path. Without a inch of reservation. Which leads me to my next point. He isn't shy when it comes down to anything. He gives suggestion whither they are received or not. He shares God's truth without being afraid of the response of others. Brigadare is very practical. He takes every idea and makes the most practical decision. Giver..that's Brigadare's middle name. He is constantly looking for ways to be a blessing to others. I see Mr. Manradge's growth everyday and I thank God for the work he is doing in him. Brigadare on a daily basis is seeking God's face on how he can be a godly husband, a loving friend, a gospel witness. For he is striving to obey the Lord. He is a great husbands and I look forward to growing with him in the years to come. Mr. Brigadare J. Manradge....My foreva boo *husband*

Eph 5:23-30 23 For (AY)the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the (AZ)head of the church, He Himself (BA)being the Savior of the body.

24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

25(BB)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and (BC)gave Himself up for her,

26(BD)so that He might sanctify her, having (BE)cleansed her by the (BF)washing of water with (BG)the word,

27that He might (BH)present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be (BI)holy and blameless.

28So husbands ought also to (BJ)love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

30because we are (BK)members of His (BL)body.

Finish what you started

So why do I have quite a few things that I have started and haven't finished. So that's my goal this quarter of 2010. I have began a blanket made it to the last spool of yarn and haven't finished. I also have some patterns from the summer that I haven't finished sewing. I have a candy making project that I haven't finished. I have clothes in the car that I haven't taken to the Goodwill. I have 30 ponds to lose that I haven't finished losing.....joke but really. So, you already know that this has caused me to ponder some spiritual matter. Do I give up when comes to spiritual matter? Yeah...Scripture memory. But the amazing thing is with theses spiritual matter you confess them to the Lord he is faithful and just to forgive me. My response should be like the righteous man who fell seven times and gets back up again. So to that end I press on to confessing my wavering and lack of perseverance and trust the Lord to do the rest and help me be diligent #1 to the things of the Lord. Secondly, persevere though other projects and things I have began. It's always good for me to think out loud about some things. It helps me to work through them. So don't get me wrong I don't have to be extremely busy but I do desire to accomplish the task the task before me spiritually and practically.

Potato Soup

Let me tell you How I came across Potato Soup Recipe. A couple of months ago a friend came by a we made Bar-B-Que. So you know like any other time when you have Bar-B-Que you have potato salad. So my friend puts on the potatoes. There cooking and cooking and cooking. Well enough said they (the potatoes) cooked so much they we all soft and like soup. So I said next time I'll add some butter, some parsley flakes, chive, chicken stock, turkey bacon bits, a touch of milk, a can of cream of mushroom and a half of cream of celery. There I had potato soup.Or what was resemblance of Potato soup. Side note:Not as good as the Paradise Bakery but very much so. So, what did I learn for this recipe. In life I may be on a journey to complete one task but God may want to instruct me in another area for future references. So I could have been devastated about the overcook potatoes that were intended for potato salad but I saw that down the road that very thing that seem to be was a hindrance was a stepping stone. So I must continue to trust the Lord Jesus Christ with my life so that what every trial may come my way I may please the Father in heaven. For we know that trials are bound. Especially for those who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus. But what in question is the response. So respond well. Trust Jesus. He's the Man!

2010 walking like I'm not a slave to sin

That's been ringing in my ear since the begining of the year I asked my husband what cleaver sayings does he think people have coined going into this new year. He wasn't to sure. So I shared with him the one I was thinking about. He said okay...
So I thought futher into that and thought "what does it mean"?

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

Titus 3:1-7 Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,
2to malign no one,to be peaceable,gentle,showing every consideration for all men.
3For we also once were foolish ourselves,disobedient, (deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
5He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7so that being justified by His grace we would be madeheirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Not that this isn't the heart desire of a professing Christian. For me it's goosing out of me at this point in my life. Why? I am not exactly sure but it just is comparitive to the picture of hungering and thirsting after righteousness. Sometimes my eyes gaze away from the Lamb and I'm not as thirsty. My heart is currently being pricked about practical godly living. To think and then act in a manner that pleases the Father, continuously. So enough words. I'm trusting the word of God to teach me the Holy Spirit to prompt me and silly me to Obey.

2010 walking like I'm not a slave to sin

Come to Jesus

I was a wretch undone living in a world of sin had no hope had no peace within but somebody told me, they told me what Jesus did how He gave His life died for my sin now i'm justified, i'm santified, I'll glorify His Holy name. Just come to Jesus do it right now.
If you come to him He'll set you free. If you come to Him He'll give you hope....

Come to Jesus rings in my ear from 2009 to 2010.Year 2009 was very off balanced for me. I guess it takes a while to get adjusted to new places, people,and things. Now that I think back to then all I had to do was truly come to Jesus. Everything wither sucess or trial. Before I thought of it as a invitation for the unbeliever that has proved me to be wrong by a sermon I heard recently. This to is for me the born again believer. So this year I have no resolution just a friendly reminder for my weary soul. Come to Jesus and do it right now. So if you would firmly yet friendly but not self-rightously remind me to Come to Jesus. I will by the help of the Holy Spirit encourage you to do the same.
