“He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior,
to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31
Definitions: release from bondage or imprisonment, forgiveness or pardon, of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), remission of the penalty
Father, please forgive me for I know that all I do and all I am is not always Your way. I am sorry and ask Your forgiveness. I am a sinful one and am also Your child. I come to You with a heart of heaviness and weakness at the same time for I cannot hold the sin myself. Satan holds it and I mistakenly listen to him at times. Judge me accountable and forgive me, please. I know Your precious Son has taken my sins off my back and has paid the mighty price for me. For me. Thank You for giving me a timeless gift, Your cherished hand, the beauty of this eternal and weightless indebtedness. I am forgiven. In the Name of Jesus, on the Cross for me, Amen.

May I be able to forgive, Lord, as You would have me do. May I also be able to forgive when You would have me humble myself before You at the foot of the Cross, before those whom I am to pardon. May I humbly come to You for the help I would need in order to forgive with grace and mercy and in truth. O Lord, I need to stand with You and allow You to give me strength that I would forgive completely, without reservation, with no hesitation, and in Your love. I truly do thank You for giving me opportunities to forgive and be forgiven. And, most of all, thank You for forgiving me, undeserving as I am. Yet, You forgave me, were crucified for me. I am crucified and have new life in You. Oh, Lord, thank You. I love You dearly. Amen.
I have been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live, but
Christ who lives in me.
And the life I now live in the flesh I live by
faith
in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

I am a quiet woman growing each day in the LORD.
Christ is my home. He is the well from which I drink. I became His 25 years ago. I am 71 so that is actually a small percentage of my life through which I could have walked closely with Him. No matter, He never stopped waiting for me.
I am now a widow from a Christ-centered marriage of 25 years to Kenneth. I praise God for him. I miss him so. We had no children.
I feel God’s call to be His light in this dark world. I am grateful for the love God gives to me so I may give it away.
I live in Lufkin, Texas, USA (in Deep East Texas/Pineywoods). I have taught Women’s Sunday School/Bible Study, co-administrated/taught a teen girls’ annual conference. I participate in women’s Bible studies in church as well as on my own. I am a retired elementary school teacher, having taught in California, Washington, D.C., and have taught older children and adults in Oregon and Texas. I also retired from being a children’s librarian in the public library system, a job I thoroughly loved. I tutored primary-aged children who are falling behind in those early years of school until we moved in May 2017.
