Captured By Grace

About Me

Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is through Christ Jesus.


The two greatest days in a person's life are; the day you are born and the day you discover why!
Oh, beloved of God, wouldn't you like to know that at the end of your life - not to mention the end of this day, the end of this year - you could declare, as the apostle Paul did, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith"? (2 Timothy 4:7)
Wouldn't you like to be assured that you could experience all the difficult situations Paul faced and say in total sincerity and truth, without one drop of egotism, "Follow me. Be an imitator of me, even as I am of Christ Jesus"? (1 Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:17)
Can you imagine having such confidence? Confidence, not brashness. Confidence in the midst of cross fire. Confidence even if the government threatened to take your life for what you believed and lived. Confidence that you could stand alone, even though others deserted you because they loved this present life more than the next.
This is the heart I long for, and I trust you do too, my friend. And because Paul, a human like us, had it, we too can have hearts that beat with bold faith and passion for God if we'll follow his example.
When your heart belongs to God, and you will to do His will, you can walk in the confidence that God will lead you by His Spirit, step by step. Our responsibility is simply to commit our way unto Him in faith's trust, and He will bring it to pass.
Thank You, heavenly Father, for the privilege of knowing and being sanctified by Your Word, which is truth. Thank You for holding each of our hands and for leading us on Your path. Establish our steps today, and throughout this new year, that we, Your children, may walk in a way that is pleasing to You.
Be joyful; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ~

My Interests



Too Blessed To Be Stressed &
Too Anointed To Be Disappointed!

I'd like to meet:

All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
~Judson W. Van DeVenter

You shine brighter than the brightest star
Your love purer than the purest heart
You shine
Filling us with courage and strength to follow You
Why should I fear man
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid
When you put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart
When I know how great You are?
Why should I give up
When Your plans are full of love?
In this world we will have trouble
But You have overcome the world!

Your life is not defined by what has happened to you, nor is it defined by what you have done. Your life is defined by who you are in Christ.

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
~ Stephen Covey ~


God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
~ John Piper ~


I have a great need for Christ,
I have a great Christ for my need.
~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon ~


I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
~ C.S. Lewis ~


We were deceived by the wisdom of the serpent,
but we are freed by the foolishness of God.
~ St. Augustine ~


Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.
~ David Wilkerson ~


Love is a fabric that never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the waters of adversity and grief.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
~ William Williams ~


"God has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
~ Micah 6:8 ~


How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
~ Psalm 139:17 ~


Music:

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.

I'll praise my Maker while I've breath;
And when my voice is lost in death.
Praise shall employ my nobler pow'rs;
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God! He made the sky,
And earth, and sea, with all their train;
His truth for ever stands secure;
He saves the oppressed, He feeds the poor,
And none shall find His promise vain.
~ISAAC WATTS (1674-1748)~

Sing a new song to the Lord!
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
Sing to the Lord; bless His name.
Each day proclaim the good news that He saves.
Publish His glorious deeds among the nations.
Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.
~ Psalm 96:1-3 NLT ~

Let the godly sing with joy to the Lord,
for it is fitting to praise Him.
Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
make music for Him on the ten-stringed harp.
Sing new songs of praise to Him;
play skillfully on the harp and sing with joy.
For the word of the Lord holds true,
and everything He does is worthy of our trust.
He loves whatever is just and good,
and His unfailing love fills the earth.
~ Psalm 33:1-5 NLT ~

Books:

I guide my life by the Bible, and I tell you there is no book like it. It is a miracle of literature, a perennial spring of wisdom, a wonder of surprises, a revelation of mystery, an infallible guide of conduct, and an unspeakable source of comfort.
Pay no attention to people who discredit it, for I tell you that they speak without knowledge. It is the Word of God Himself. Study it according to its own direction. Live by its principles. Believe its message. Follow its precepts.
No man is uneducated who knows the Bible, and none is wise who is ignorant of its teachings.
~ Samuel Chadwick ~
Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty.
~ Jeremiah 15:16 NLT

How sweet are your words to my taste; they are sweeter than honey. Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life. Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.
~ Psalm 119:103-105
A Bible which is falling apart usually belongs to someone who is not.
~ Charles H. Spurgeon

God did not give us the Scriptures to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.
~ D.L. Moody
In regard to this great book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.
~ Abraham Lincoln ~

Heroes:

Jesus - My Creator, my Redeemer, my Brother, and my Friend - What else can I say but thank You for loving me!
King David - A man after God's own heart
The Apostle Paul - My inspiration to carry the Light into a dark world
My Hubby - My real life "knight in shining armor" - thank you my love, my soul-mate, my friend
My Wonderful Children - For teaching me so much about love, joy, patience, and forgiveness
My Parents - For establishing a Firm Foundation in my life, and for all the "calluses on their knees"



But happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,whose hope is in the Lord their God.
~ Psalm 146:5
O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
~ George Matheson ~
Faith is not believing that God can.
It is knowing that God will.
Happiness keeps you Sweet
Trials keep you Strong
Sorrows keep you Human
Failures keep you Humble
Success keeps you Glowing
But only God keeps you Going!
