Daughters for His Glory

Today's Encouragement (8 March 2022)

Hello sisters!

Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Jude 1:2

Amen and I say the same to you! We know our God is so merciful and if we are in Him we can be in peace with Him and have His peace. And we can know the love of God as His saints and have love one towards another.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:7

And let us have mercy one towards another...so we too can obtain mercy.

I made an audio and read some scriptures to edify and encourage us sisters. The picture was as the sun was setting as I read them.

I hope that blessed you! God's Word is always relevant and true and it's what we live by in this world where there is so much deception and we can't trust in anything else really.

Oh I was going to mention that I was reading in 1 Kings 13 and something that happened in that chapter really helps you to see that we must only go by God's Word and not what anyone says that may seem or sound like it's from God. You can go read it for yourself if you like but in short a man of God is obeying God but then a prophet comes to him with a so called 'message from God' (lying) and tells him to do what God told him not to. And then this man dies for his disobedience to God. Let us sisters not let anyone sway us from God's Word that we have. We may be thought of as 'too strict' by holding, first ourselves and then expecting others who claim Christ's name, to obedience to God's Word without any compromise. Keep pressing on sisters in the Word of God that we have...we need nothing 'new'.

A few pictures from my day...

...which was mostly sewing, and some house work and cooking the evening meal.

How was your day? Or maybe it's just starting...so I hope it goes well! It is a blessing to be godly women and go about our days doing good works, minding our own business, working with our hands in it all. It glorifies the Lord and we know it's Him that we are seeking to please...not man.

And I share this scripture picture from a faithful sister saint...

Isn't that awesome!

I must go but I hope to be back tomorrow.

Hold fast to the Word and the doctrines taught in it sisters! And hope you can go about your duties with contentment, thankfulness and peace and joy in our Saviour who has overcome the world!

Love to you in the Lord,

Sister Michaela

Today's Encouragement (7 March 2022)

Hello sisters!

I'm back for a bit here dropping in with some scriptures and some love for my sisters who are striving on in the Lord and truly have Him as their first love.

I was pondering on this scripture...

...about our hearts being comforted and knit together in love. That's interesting and we know God's people are to have fervent love one to another. We see how highly God places love in His Word and that everything comes from that. If we think about it many sins simply come from not loving our neighbor as should be done. But of course they are sins against God most of all.

Here's another verse where we see the word knit...

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel 18:1

I like this one too...

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Colossians 2:19

...about the body of Christ being knit together and we know this too...

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:15-16

How amazing is Christ's body...His true set apart faithful saints. It is to work together as everyone has been set where God has them and we all have different abilities and gifts but all are working together to edify.

Well that's some simple encouragement for you! I must go now. There's many good works we all have to be occupied in isn't there.

In fact I was thinking about this earlier...

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ezekiel 16:49

All those sins that Sodom had which God destroyed. Abundance of idleness...that's not what we want to have! In fact, here...

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Proverbs 31:27

That's what we want to be like...not being idle. I know a few of you sisters and you're anything but idle! Praise God! And I praise you holy hard working sisters! I know there's many who claim Christ who are occupied in many things but they still are not good, pure, and true things. But we sisters want to be diligent in every good work...not bad or evil or impure or unholy or time wasting work. We are not our own and we live to please a holy God!

Hold fast sisters and Lord willing I will be back tomorrow. Hope you are too! Stand strong sister soldiers!

Love to you in the Lord,

Sister Michaela

Today's Encouragement (6 March 2022)

Greetings sister saints!

I'm back here to send a little encouragement to my sisters in Christ who love the Lord above all else. My sisters who are willing to lose all for Christ...even the things that cause a great sense of loss and hurt. But we know Christ is so much more worthy and the gain will be greater in the life to come! God is the Creator and He owns us. We know we are to love Him above everything else. So that means we don't compromise in loving Him (which we learn is keeping His commandments) to keep any treasures or things we love on this earth. Think of the men that Jesus called to follow Him...they were working their jobs and probably had families and such. But they dropped their work and followed Christ. I know Jesus isn't here on earth but we still have been called to follow Him.

I was thinking about this scripture...

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:30

The wheat (saints) and tares (ungodly) living together on earth for now. And I was thinking about that and it's what we see now because we live on this earth amongst the wicked don't we. And how merciful is our God and His purposes are not to be questioned and are past finding out! I'm glad He told us so much and by faith we accept it and trust His plans and promises.

I love to see corn plants...

They're so green and refreshing and awesome creations...like grass that grow so tall and so fast! And the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind is nice too. And they're growing blessings of good food! What an awesome creation!

Here's a peek at the bees in their hive...

I know they're important in food production too with pollination and such. It's amazing how all God's creation works together! If you take out one thing...then other things suffer. Well not everything but if you took out water or sunlight...well we know what would happen. And it wouldn't be good at all!

Makes me think of people taking out parts of God's Word...when instead we are to live by every Word and obey it all.

I made some pear sauce today...

And preserved it in jars to keep longer...

I don't know what to call 'that process' sometimes...we've tended to call it preserving but others call it bottling or canning so anyway whatever it is, it's a blessing to be able to do. We have many other methods of keeping food longer don't we; refrigeration, freezing, drying and such. And we Titus 2 women are blessed to be the ones most often dealing with such things...the essential 'daily bread' so to speak.

Thank you faithful sister for these scripture pictures...

We love that too don't we and want to magnify Him.

Reminded me of this...

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:20-21

I love that...Paul's desire for Christ to be magnified in his life or death.

Yes...we must hold fast to the truth mustn't we sisters! We know no lie is of the truth!

A saint sent this scripture the other day and it fits in here...

That is a great one to remember. It says Christ was born and came into the world to bear witness unto the truth. And those of the truth hear His voice...like sheep hearing their shepherd. Interesting that many tend to focus only on Christ coming to die for us but we see there's much more.

I must go and do some other pressing duties yet tonight so I must leave it there...with much love and encouragement for you my sisters to stand strong, strive on, hold fast, overcome, endure and not grow weary in well doing!

Love in Christ,

Sister Michaela

Greetings sisters!

Grace and peace to you in Christ our Saviour. I hope this finds you well and strong in the faith, standing against compromise, the flesh, and the attacks of the wicked one! In Christ we can overcome!

I was reading some in Luke and was pondering some things.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15

I was thinking about that in regards to the duties that godly women may have. We know we are to be content with food and clothing. And so if we really think, we know we have many things on top of food and clothing...in that area like how we prepare food and wash clothes and even sew them.

We may have refrigeration and easy cooking options (ovens, stove tops or microwaves), might have a blender or toaster or washing machine or other gadgets that help us do things more efficiently and quickly.

Of course there's nothing wrong with having these things and making good use of them (as they may help us redeem the time). But we just have to remember that to have the basics of food and clothing should be enough for us and then remember to be extra thankful for these blessings we have to use (the Lord allows us to have them) and be content if we have even less. We certainly know what God thinks of unthankfulness or complaining. We don't want that.

We know so many are so wrapped up in this area of food too. We see the lusts of the flesh out of control in the world...with overwhelming options these days and great money is spent on way more than is necessary. And that is all without thinking to remember where the good provisions came from and they are often unhankful in it too. But that's the world. And we know unless they repent and are born of God's Spirit that's what they do. But of course for those who claim the name of Christ, sin is not to be once named among us. We have no excuse because we know better and we know sin leads to death if we go on in it, unrepentant.

We sisters know this too...

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Luke 12:23

And I was thinking of the fact that we may be prepared by storing up food and other things which is good to do but it's still temporary and could be destroyed...like by a flood or a fire or a tornado or 'moth or rust or thieves' but life is more than these things. We know we are to glorify God...in life or death.

But if those things are taken away, we must trust in God that He will provide for us. Christ told us not to worry about tomorrow about our food and clothing. God cares for His creatures the birds and the flowers...we can see the earth is filled with creatures and plants and it's flourishing. And God sends the rain and sunshine on the wicked and the good and allows them to be fed and clothed. We have more than we ever deserve because that is death. But there are areas where people do not have enough food and clothing and we see the effects of sin and some are extremely wealthy and others struggling to survive. One day God will make it all new and those who are His will get be with Him in His kingdom. Most of all He has provided a way for us to go to be with Him through His Son. But we must follow after Him and obey.

And this verse...

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Luke 12:19

We may lay up food and other essentials...but it's not so we have an easy life and can do such things like that man in the parable. (But we can also remember what Paul said that he had to suffer hunger and thirst along with his many trials. We may have to too but we shouldn't worry about it.) For us we know what really matters in life. We live to glorify God. Our times are in His hands and we bear witness of Him to those around us and have the precious gospel to share. And our hope is to come in eternity with the Father!

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7:16-17

For now in this life we live, it's wise to be prepared isn't it so we aren't relying on the world because we know things can change in that very fast. Like the Proverbs 31 woman she was prepared too. So too can we Titus 2 women be diligent in the ways we have any control over.

Or we can think of the 5 wise virgins also. And that would mean in our spiritual lives but we can see the wisdom in many areas of our lives from that and not be foolish in anything.

This is wise to do...

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark 13:33-37

More sewing today! It's been awhile. I was blessed with an order of several skirts so that will be good to do some sewing again.

I was able to have a day off from pear work as there was a break in them being ripe...but back to it tomorrow I think.

But more preparation to do...

And finding a place to store them all...

Share some onion soup with zucchini slice...

God provided another day!

And pretty sun shining through the mist this evening...

Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
Psalm 113:1-3

Amen sisters! Let us praise His holy name! And certainly not by just our lips (or written words) but by our life lived in holiness after Him. We know that we can blaspheme His name by actions that are unbecoming to a saint (which is sin). We don't want to do that in any way! Keep being diligent sisters...to be holy as the Lord our God has called us to be because He is holy.

Love in Christ,

Sister Michaela

Today's Encouragement (4 March 2022)

Hello sisters!

Time for me to come back here and share some encouragement, and even if that's in the simple form of pictures from my day and some scriptures. Praise God we can be walking in the light and all we do...may it line up with what is pleasing to God.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter 2:24

We know Jesus came to set us free from our sins! Live unto righteousness...I love that and that's what we really want to be doing.

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 2:29

I share some garden pictures from my morning. It was a very refreshing cool breezy morning which is a blessing after heat. I know you sisters like gardens and growing food. And it's not just that but what's behind it of a great Creator and being able to grow food from the ground to provide food for our households. God is good to provide for us.

(just some little garden creatures too:-)

I love to see all those plants growing and hopefully yielding much fruit! We know what ought to happen with a plant that doesn't bear fruit after it's time. Just as it is with those who are not fruitful in the Lord...

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 3:10

Let us beware and let that not be us sisters.

Today's work in the area of storing up produce...

And another simple Titus 2 looking one with pretty blue sky...

And a huge moth that was in some clothes from the clothes line...

Just a peaceful window view with a few spots of rain...

Even if we may be really busy sometimes, if we can we just have to allow ourselves to stop for awhile and refresh. Sometimes we can't always do that if we are looking after others such as young children but most of the time we probably can...even if it's just for several minutes or so

And we can also make sure we find time in our mind to think on the Lord because obviously with all the good works to do and focusing on them sometimes that takes up our mind but other times if we're just working quietly we can think about many good pure and true things. And our mind can go to the Lord and we know He is our life and strength and joy and salvation and so much more!

And I share some scriptures that were shared amongst sisters today. Praise God, and I'm thankful, there's always sister edification going on.

I love that...God being a shield and exceeding great reward!

My day is over...

But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.

Psalm 115:18

That's all...from me. Hope your day is going well sisters. Keep pressing on and remember our hope is to come!

Love in Christ,

Sister Michaela

Today's Encouragement (3 March 2022)

Greetings sisters!

Hope you are pressing on with your hopes set on things ahead, things above! The past is gone and can't be relived. And in Christ He's made us new, the old is passed away! But we can choose what we will do today...how we will behave and react, including to those who may have hurt us or misunderstand us or persecute us. The Lord knows the beginning from the end. We don't do we sisters. But we do have right now...this moment...today. And we can chose what we are going to do with our life and actions in it.

We know this world is not our home don't we sisters. The things of this world...the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life is of this world...not what we partake of. We who are Christ's are to have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.

These things would belong in those categories wouldn't they...entertainment, sports, music, movies, TV and such are all fleshly lusts and pride of life and such aren't they. Also wanting to 'look good' and dressed up and adorned we can see is prideful and fleshly indeed. We know we have been crucified to this world. We are alive in Christ and we know He is holy and pure and not of this world. We now live to please Him. We deny ourselves...fight to daily. And God knows our hearts and gives us power as we keep fighting on not giving up!

It's true isn't it that there are the living dead...those that are alive physically but dead spiritually. Like this...

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
1 Timothy 5:6

And the one Jesus told us about how those who follow Him ought to let the dead bury their dead.

I was thinking of all the people living in pleasure now in this life. And our cultures are certainly extremely well off and so many comforts and such. We saints know we have been promised hardness and suffering and our riches are in heaven. We don't try to make this our home and lay up treasures here.

I was thinking of all these...

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luke 12:19-21

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:21-23

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luke 16:19-26

Certainly much to ponder in those and see the truth and how so many choose the riches and fame and pleasures in this life...not willing to suffer with Christ and His people and think about eternity and their souls and God's glory...but it will be too late one day. But we can be here to shine our light and share that precious truth of the gospel with the lost and those who are seeking. And we hope they repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance as we also strive to do.

Pretty sunset tonight...

Glory to God!

This verse says a lot about the peace we can have and why.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27

Well that's it from me. I've had another busy day working with pears and other bits and pieces. It's all good works that we can be thankful to do. It's such a basic necessity...having food to eat so it's something very worthwhile. But obviously we also must live by all of God's Word so how important is that to be making sure we are looking to see what His Word is and says. We have it...the written word...and so we are without excuse.

Hold fast sister saints! I hope your works you do as godly women in the callings you each have go well for you. And even if sometimes things 'seem' to be going 'wrong' we know there's a purpose for those who love God and it's for good. And our great reward is to come...not here. We know don't we how very many mercies the Lord has bestowed upon us in not consuming us. That is enough really to be greatly humbled and rejoice in! The people of the world may look for pleasures but we think on Christ and all the riches in Him and the hope and that is more than enough to be joyous about! Amen sisters?!

Love in Christ,

Sister Michaela

Hello sisters!

Praise God for this day to serve Him and think on all His wondrous works in His creation and towards us.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
Psalm 143:5-6

I've had a really busy but good day today. How was (or is) yours?

I trust each and every one of you who read this are truly striving after Christ and letting nothing come between Him and you. He is not our Lord if there are things we just couldn't do for Him (like the rich young ruler in Jesus' day). Can we give up our family...each and every one for Him? Can we give up our life and what we want to do...for Him? Can we give up our false ways like Christmass, Easter, uncovered heads, our reputation and everything else...for Him? Well I hope all you sisters have counted this cost and are willing to forsake all (and have of all the sinful things). We may say so in our hearts when it's easy...but when these come upon us it may take our breath away so to speak and we may see these losses right in front of us. But He is so worthy isn't He sisters! We trust His promises that He promised us...eternal life if we endure until the end. And He is worthy to be glorified no matter what reward we may get. If we didn't have a reward promised we still should obey Him. But what an awesome and loving merciful and gracious God He is beyond measure to offer us a chance to get to be with Him in His glory and kingdom to come. This is hard to fathom. But it's not an easy thing to get there either and we know so few find the narrow road which is the only way to get there...through Christ and His truth and ways. Keep enduring sister saints...as good soldiers of His!

Today I share some older scripture pictures...which are still amazing because His Word never changes and His creation is beautiful.

They can speak for themselves.

Amen praise God sisters! We can never do that enough can we! In fact we can never do a lot of things enough or too much; thank Him, obey Him, fear Him, serve Him and give Him glory for all He has done and is.

This picture would describe a large part of my day again...

But it's a good and worthwhile thing to do and I appreciate doing it.

Isn't this the cutest lil pear, sisters?

I think so! But I love the big ones best because they fill up jars quicker lol:-)

And this was two the other day..

Interesting and amazing creations God made for food for mankind (and the animals).

I shared that picture with a sister and she mentioned this scripture...

And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark 4:20

And we are those on the good ground bringing forth fruit! What awesome parables and illustrations our Creator and Saviour gave to us to learn all these important truths. Praise God!

And I share a few pictures from my evening walking and working outside...

Look close to see a big beautiful spiders web...

That's just another area of the Creator's handiwork in creating the spider to know how to do that and equipping it with all it needs. And how pretty with the sun shining on it.

And on this flower too...

I'm glad the corn is starting to produce flowers...

Hopefully delicious corn cobs to come...after patience and more tending to it.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
James 5:7-8

OK time for me to go...but I'm glad to share a bit of encouragement and edification and just general good pure and true things from my life. Hope you are going well and standing strong in Christ and His truth!

Love to you...fervent and godly love in Christ,

Sister Michaela

Hello sisters!

Back again here...I am and so are you. Hope your life in Christ is going well and you are strong in His truth. We do know of the deception and compromise all around us so we need to be strong to be able to stand. And God gives us what we need if we take action to do so.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:13

I was also thinking of the fact of us being clean and pure and God not seeing our past sins (and hopefully we have no present ones) because we have been washed and made new in Christ when we repent. That is a big thing because we never could pay for them and we all have had many because we know how holy God is. What a precious thing Christ's blood is and we don't take it lightly. If we compare a godly person to an ungodly one...one has forgiven sin and the other doesn't. How thankful we ought to be and give our lives over to the One who bought us with a great price.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:13-14

I dried some figs in the oven the other day...

Just on really low for several hours turning now and again. And they seemed to turn out good.

This was a large part of my day again today...

Yes you might be seeing glimpses of the same things here for awhile...but that's what I've been spending a lot of time on. But it's a blessing to have good food stored up. And I'm sure you Titus 2 sisters know how these things can be. And after all we do so many things the same like washing dishes and cooking and such anyway. And it's all good and what we should be doing.

You can peek into the pot of hot water where the jars of pears are too...

Evening gatherings from the garden...

(including carrots I pulled up to let the others grow bigger)

So much variety of foods God made isn't there! How can we not be so very thankful for what we have! We have the example of the children of Israel complaining and what God thought of that. Let it not be named among us saints who are commanded to be thankful. We don't even want it in our heart...not a bit. God can help us root it all out if we work with Him in doing so as with other things we don't want in there.

And a greater thing to be thankful for...we have been given much in Christ who made the way of salvation for us who obey Him. How very thankful we should be for that!

And we can be like this one thankful man that was healed who returned to thank Jesus for healing Him...

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 17:12-19

I want to be like that one who returned to glorify God for what He has done! Let us be thankful. And we give our lives to follow Him.

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27

We are Christ's disciples aren't we sisters. He is our Master...and we follow Him and obey Him. And we can't just obey what we want...it must be everything or He isn't our Master and we're deceiving ourselves.

Well I must go sisters. Hope your good works, all those Titus 2 ones and such, and your obedience to the Lord in all other areas is going well. Keep holding fast to the truth in God's Word!

Love to you in the Lord,

Sister Michaela
