Don't get distracted by the hurt!

-

Your problems and trials will push you and press you into prayer and praise. When I get in a bind, I know where to go. When I need gas I go to a service station, when I need money I go to a bank, when I need groceries on my table, I go to the grocery store, when I need a bargain I go to the dollar store, when I need to buy in bulk, I go to Sam’s, but when I need a miracle, I can’t go to dead religion, I can’t go to somebody’s past experience, I can’t go to what somebody did yesterday… when I need a miracle I go to my prayer answering God, One Who is able, to Jehovah Rapha (The God who heals). Also, my bank account has been "hurt" when I need to pay bills or buy something but I still use bank services, so why do you want to quit church when you've been "hurt" by someone in the church. I've never been hurt by God and He is who I go for. I will never forget a story my previous pastor shared with me several years ago. He said the lady had a falling out with her pastor following the morning service in front of others in the congregation. When it was time for the evening service, the lady came back and sit in her usual place on the front row. Others were shocked and ask her what was she doing back? She replied, "I had a falling out with the pastor NOT God". I have never forgot that, and I truly believe that story was God's way of helping me from that point on, push through every adversity that has come my way until He comes back to get me. Though it hasn't been easy, I've pushed through it all and always manage to get my focus back on where it needs to be and that is JESUS. I tell you, without hesitation, it is amazing how your life will change when you truly get focused on God, who He is to you, and what He done for you!! Don't get distracted by the "hurt" that comes from others, to keep you away from God, but focus on Him, and His healing only He can give!

Reconnect and Reset!

8.21.2022 - 8.24.2022 • A "reconnect and reset trip" to the Great Smoky Mountains with my dear friend of 10 years, Susan. We haven't got to visit and see each other in a long while. We talk over the phone some. In 2012, we met while attending the same church, and connected instantly. We've held each other up in prayer, encouraged each other in the Lord, cried and laughed together, and worshipped together, as sisters in Christ should. We belly laughed so much on our vacation until we were hurting and seeing stars. We were planning to rest more, but we decided to pack in the fun while the Lord gave us the opportunity to do so together and memories sure were made. We prayed for God to pave the way and He did. He gave us favor with the traffic, favor with my vehicle, favor in keeping us safe from harm (we know how dangerous it can be for two women to travel alone, but with God you are never alone), favor with His band of Holy Angels all around us, ...

Why A Blog Titled: "Becoming Better Women"?

Back around the last week of October 2017, I had a dream about the acronym "BBW" standing for something profound! I was standing in a room full of women, some I knew and some I had never seen before in my life and I looked down at a piece of paper and it said in bold cursive writing, BBW =  "Becoming Better Women" . There were women of all shapes and sizes in this room, different ages and races, showing different emotions. Nothing was said in the dream but when I woke up I didn't forget about it. In fact, a couple of days later I text myself those three words, becoming better women. Not yet knowing what to do with it, what it meant exactly, but feeling very strongly the Lord gave it to me for a reason! I had no idea that a week later, after having this dream, I would end up in the hospital for what seemed to be the longest and most challenging 7 days of my life! Throughout my time in the hospital, "Becoming Better Women" would go through my mind. Aroun...

We Prepare for Battle in Prayer!

-
Read Ephesians 6:10-18 The armor of God is vital to Christian belivers when it comes to our prayer life, overcoming spiritual warfare, and overcoming a lukewarm lifestyle. We can learn to become crucified in Christ so that the flesh part of us can resist the enemy's lies and temptations to sin. We can become transformed into a new person in Christ and no longer be enslaved to our old habits and sinful nature and attitude. We have daily choices to live accordingly to God's righteous standards and deny sin. We we choose God's desires for our life instead of sins, we crucify our flesh. Sin is only pleasurable for a season, and then it will turn on you like an unknown allergic reaction to a favorite food you ate. We prepare for battle when we suit up daily with the armor of God.  ---------- ARMOR of God and its PURPOSE: Belt of Truth - backbone of the word  Breastplate of Righteousness - protects is from satan's fiery darts, lies, temptation Feet Preparation of the Gospel o...
