We just happen to do seminars under a ministry called Family Foundations International and the core seminar is called, Ancient Paths. We see lives transformed in every seminar and as you said about your camp meeting place; the Holy Spirit flows freely.<br /><br />BTW, I found you through Abelle's blog. Decided I wanted to meet some new godly cyberspace friends so I'm trying to do that every day - meet at least one! Glad I found you and I'll be back to visit again.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />Sharon<br />http://grandmaisawriter.blogspot.comSharon Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315316958986428740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067303911475128377.post-28824935447141064652010-01-26T13:04:25.088-07:002010-01-26T13:04:25.088-07:00I so enjoyed visiting your blog again.

Great post on holiness, and I could sense that you meant every word you wrote.<br /><br />Haven't been around your place much... but somehow in my heart I feel a deep connection with you. It's like our hearts long for the same things - a closer walk with Jesus, and a deep relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.<br /><br />I read your first post, about fresh oil.<br /><br />I've always loved the significance of the oil, the grain, wine so often mentioned in the Bible...fresh oil is so precious.<br /><br />Love your heart, Jackie.

We stopped off at a place for breakfast and orderd grits for the first time ever. I have to say though that I've not had them in a long time. :)<br /><br />I can only imagine what it was like to live in the Bible belt after divorce. I know at that time it was unusual. But I'm so glad that you had that time of refreshing for your soul and spirit. <br /><br />I too have been enjoying this time of rain in Arizona. Phoenix has had some damage from the rain and winds but we were fortunate at our home. I love the sound of the rain, especially since we get so little of it.<br /><br />Blessings and love,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067303911475128377.post-47129288933420422552010-01-23T06:58:13.061-07:002010-01-23T06:58:13.061-07:00Jackie this was one beautiful post.

I never thought of how being from a "broken home" could have brought such feelings of condemnation to a child, even from the church. How very sad. Here's a verse I read this morning that explains how God took care of you though: "But you are a shield around me, O Lord, You bestow glory on me and lift up my head" Psalm 3:3. There were things in my past and along my journey too that weighed me down spiritually and made me feel some shame, even in the church. But some years ago, God showed me that I am not to despise any of my journey, that it all has been working together for my ultimate good because He knew all along just what it would take to bring to that desire for the holy living you are talking about. He is an amazing God, isn't He! Enjoy your grits, girl! I'll settle for the sweet tea, thank you :)Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067303911475128377.post-18701432657202076802010-01-21T19:53:33.409-07:002010-01-21T19:53:33.409-07:00Jer 6:16 was my big verse last year!

I too am a "HIS G.R.I.T.S"...Jackie,<br /> I too am a "HIS G.R.I.T.S" girl. Although my grandfather was a minister in the South; very strict/living under the law type, my father did not follow in my grandfather's footsteps. My father decided that it seemed very sterile and completely without joy and life. My father knew the Bible; being from the Bible Belt it was drilled into his brain. My father did give his life to Christ about 3 years before he died. So I guess you are wondering where all this is going. I think I am also going down memory lane. It is amazing that God uses HIS Girls for HIS glory; HE never leaves me or forsakes me. I would not trade my relationship . . . my life . . . with Christ . . . for Christ . . . for anything. Thank you for sharing this post with me. Enjoy the snow and the beautiful time the Lord has brought into your life. Oh I have actually been craving grits lately too. In fact I had some last night loaded with butter and steaming hot. <br />God bless you my fellow g.r.i.t.s friend.<br />BrenGrace on the Narrow Pathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161275623876776951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067303911475128377.post-2658375645728380582010-01-21T14:23:19.863-07:002010-01-21T14:23:19.863-07:00Hi, Jackie!

I love the snow, but as you know, we don't get a lot of it in the Deep South!<br /><br />We have much in common. How well do I remember those days of sawdust and song at Union Grove/White County Congregational Holiness camp meeting! As a little girl and young teen, the choir and worship and praise amazed me. I will never forget those young experiences of witnessing the moving of the Holy Spirit. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing! Enjoy the snow!<br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355324478827826300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067303911475128377.post-13439160693470686852010-01-21T12:55:22.357-07:002010-01-21T12:55:22.357-07:00Jackie, thanks for taking us with you on your spir...Jackie, thanks for taking us with you on your spiritual journey today.

I love that you enjoyed "GRITS" both literally and spiritually...<br /><br />I think it's great to go back to the old paths and reevaluate how far we have traveled. And to see that we truly chose the road that leads to Him. <br /><br />May we encourage those other weary travelers along that path. "Set apart"...We are set apart to be like Him, not be selective of others who are not like us. <br /><br />May the Lord continue to mold us to be more like Jesus. Thank you for taking us with you to that "old path" of yours today. It's time to "see" and say "I will walk in it".
