God's healing me from depression!

-

I had an appointment with my family doctor on 10/31, that morning. My mama drove me to the doctor's office, because I wasn't feeling well. I then received the unexepected news that I would be admitted to the hospital, but with no beds being available yet, I stayed in the ER at Shelby Hospital for 6 hours until my bed was ready. I was not discharged until this afternoon on 11/6. It has been a looonnngggg 7 days for me and my family, but God got me thru a battle once more. I needed quiet time/rest, which is why the doctor advised me to not let everyone know. On my 2nd night at the hospital, a nurse tech brought a Bible to my room and it fell right open to Jeremiah 31 in my lap, which is the "He turns mourning into joy" chapter; my eyes immediately went to vs 16, "Thus saith the Lord: 'Refrain your voice from weeping, And your eyes from tears; For your work shall be rewarded', saith the Lord"... after reading that verse, I dug down deep to grab my faith and a supernatural peace washed over me that carried me thru the rest of my hospital stay. I am sure thankful for the nurses/staff/doctors for what they go through, working in a high pressure environment, to try to provide the best treatment they can to the patients, I am thankful for my family (mama, daddy, my brother-Jason Turtle McDaniel) for never leaving my side, my best good friend Selena Short Price for the daily phone calls and visit, my pastor + mama & daddy's pastor, the ones who were praying because God put me on your mind/heart, and I am thankful to God for providing His healing touch once more. I have followup doctor appts, and I'm still adjusting to new meds, but I am ok, and feeling so much better! Please just keep praying for me, God knows! No questions please, just prayers!! ⤴Repost from my social media November 6, 2017 post.

Why A Blog Titled: "Becoming Better Women"?

-
Image
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...

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, ...

From Marah to Elim!

-
"From Marah to Elim" - Sometimes you can't get to your Elim in life *a place of restoration until you go through your Marah *a place of bitterness. I studied over this word again, recorded the devotion back on Feb. 11th of this year. I didn't know around that time that my balance/ear situation from an inner ear disease I have been fighting for over 18 years would progressively get worse to the point of my ear shunt needing revising due to it malfunctioning. So I had surgery for that on March 5th, 2025... and I've been in recovery mode since. I was going back through files on my phone and realized that I failed to upload and share this video devotion study. Isn't it just like the enemy to do his best to immediately bring distraction and hindrances our way to try to stop God's word from going forth with power and victory?! But God... the enemy will never fully stop the word(s) of the Lord from being delivered... oh, he may try to cause the delays but God alw...
