Born to Serve the Lord!

-

God wants me protected, God does not want me vulnerable... if God has called me to do something, He is going to help me finish the work He's started in me...  “Not by might, nor by power but by MY SPIRIT says the Lord.” - Zechariah 4:6

I was sitting at the table some time ago with my daddy, and with tears in my eyes, I looked at him and said if I die before the rapture happens, I just want my headstone to say, “I was born to serve the Lord and I died serving the Lord”.

The enemy will show up in the lives of others (including loved ones) to attack you and lie to you. Rebuke it. Over and over, I hear people say they have been hurt by the church (notice it is the church not the Lord; people let you down not God) so they are not going back, that is an excuse given to you by the enemy and you are feeding off it. Well get in line, I have been hurt by the church too. I have also been hurt by Wal-Mart, the bank, and the gas station, but I still go back to those places. I have learned through much heartache and hurt, to get so in tune with God that I am oblivious to what is going on around me. When I enter church I am to become Christ focused, because I have never been hurt by Him, and that is Who I go to church for. When you start gong to church for God and not people, it is amazing how your relationship with HIM changes, how much better you feel, and how you do not take offense so easily. When you stay offended, you cannot have the victory. Let go, let God have His way!

I have realized these past few weeks, more than ever that I made a commitment with God first and foremost before anything else. I know that my relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is the only relationship that matters. I have to let everything else go, and maintain that relationship with Him at all cost, and God will surely fulfill His plan and purpose throughout my life.

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...
