But God!

For the doctors who said I'd never make it.... For those in school who said I'd never make it... For college professors who said I'd never make it... For those in the work place who said I'd never make... For previous bosses who said I'd never make it... For those in previous churches who said I'd never make it.... For friendships that didn't work out and they said I'd never make it... For the lying enemy who said I'd never make it... But God.♡ I am looking towards the future with hope and a fresh vision for year 34. The devil set out to kill me last year, but God reached down and saved me. He intervened once more. Through facing the hardest battle of my life in year 33, being in housed (hospitalized) a week for depression treatment and sucidial thoughts, I know that great despair, pain, and loneliness doesn’t need to end in death. Through my pain and journey brings my desire to educate and help others overcome the sterotypes that surround mental illnesses. To help destroy the lie that a Christian is not or should not be depressed nor fight another kind of mental illness. Let me tell you that the Bible is full of chapters with words written about people, all kinds of people who lived for the Lord yet faced and fought problems on a daily basis, but the key to overcoming is knowing this... that there is hope—eternal hope—in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Suicide is extremely serious and tragic and if someone who is reading this is contemplating suicide, I beg of you to reconsider and seek help for whatever your problem may be. I am still under the care of both a Christian therapist and psychiatrist for the treatment and healing for depression/anxiety. God loves you—whether you believe it or not—and He does not want you to end your life, but satan does, however, you must not listen to him. Instead, put your faith and hope in Christ and His love for you. You are never alone if you know Him, because nothing ‘will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 8:39).” Turn to the Lord today, and by faith ask Christ to come into your life. When we know Christ we are never alone. He is with us always. Reach out for His loving hand today, and save a life—your own—for eternity. ♡
 But God!!

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...
