God has a purpose for your life!

-
As far as my internet/social media outlets, I never really focus on traffic/views in a numbers aspect, but the Lord opened my eyes in a powerful way. The enemy works overtime at lying to us, making us believe we no longer have purpose in life or God isn't using us because we aren't on the platform or in the area of ministry we think we should be in. This past weekend (January 20th, 2018), the Lord directed me to look at views across my youtube, fandalism, and blog pages and spoke this to me, "I never want to hear you say or think again that you don't still have purpose on this earth, that is a lie from the pits of hell that you need to rebuke sometimes more than once daily." Among these outlets, my videos or posts are only uplifting the name of Jesus, spreading the Gospel, enouraging others in the Lord through words, preaching, teaching, singing, music, etc... so these tens-of-thousands of viewers and readers are being ministered to, along with 2,300+ facebook friends, even when I do not know it or may never meet them this side of glory. What gave me Holy Ghost chills were the views I had from China on my blog... in an anti-Christian country, where missionaries are band/killed from/for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, He can use me to be a foreign missionary through the technology of a computer. The Lord still has purposes for our (my) life, we haven't even seen yet. As long as you are above ground God is not finished with you yet, but better than that, He can still use you to bring others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ even after you have passed away; that's the beautiful thing. I had been struggling with my purpose at church since going through my latest battle with depression, and God saw fit to minister through me in a mighty way, during Sunday night service because of my obedience to be transparent in sharing my testimony and singing a special song, "He Won't Leave You There" (Jason Crabb). I must keep reminding myself that where I attend church is just a building, I am (we ourselves are) the church, and it is my job to minister wherever I am in that moment, whether it be through my blog, social media, youtube videos, church, singing, praying, testifying, teaching/visiting at the nursing home, at someone else's home, a public place, phone call, or just being transparent. Other people are struggling most times with the same thing you are and just need the encouragement and reminder of God's love. I write all of that to write this, I've had opportunities to minister in every area at churches, since the age of 13, but it was never about a title (a title or church job or position is not what is important to me), it was (is) the fact that I don't want to waste an opportunity to minister to others about Christ, until my last breath. Someone needs to be reminded that God is using you whether you see it or not. It is not important so much that we see it, because I believe it helps to keep us humble, but God has a purpose in everything, great or small. Also, what you're going through us never in vain, and God will use it to minister to others. If you're going through fierce storms, you are not forgotten. God has not forsaken you. You are being made ready for a royal position that will never end. God is with you in this battle even though it seems like you are alone. “Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything, to stand!” (Ephesians 6:13) Know the God you serve so that you can trust Him no matter what happens. Take time to read your Bible every single day. Let God’s truth be your armor that keeps you trusting in Him despite your problems. God has not changed. His love for you will endure forever. He will not fail you. Your hope is secure because you belong to Him. Nothing in all of creation will ever be able to stop His love for you or His plan for your life. ♥ Kimmy

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...
