What this blog is about:

My journey to making Jesus my Pearl; turning away from the thinking of this world and finding my identity and joy in Christ alone.



Matthew 13:44-46

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."

"No one takes my life, Jesus give me life"

My prayer is that Jesus life would shine in my heart & its brilliance would indeed set my life apart:


"His Holy life shines within my heart; and its brilliance sets my life apart.
Friends who live in darkness say they weep for me;
They say my dreams have changed since Jesus took my life from me.

No one takes my life, I give it willingly;
For I can see the glory in the cross.
So dry your eyes my friends and please don't weep for me;
No one takes my life, Jesus give me life.
Lord Jesus, use my life, I give it willingly."


Lyrics above are from a song titled "Willingly" by Damaris Carbaugh.

    Mommy Jo,
    Just a note to thank you for stopping by my blog the other day! I've been "out" of blogging for a couple of weeks, but hope to be back in the swing of things now. :)
