Here is to Year 34 for Me!

-

I am officially in the last week of being 33 years old. I have just been thinking on and off all day of everything the Lord brought me through over the last 33 years... 34 surgeries/procedures, multiple hospitalizations, deep depression, loss of loved ones, multiple diagnosis's of incurable diseases, the list could go on... but most importantly God has brought me through victorious and healed, as I am confident of who I am in HIM. I continually overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony! I am most thankful that I have grown in Him, that I have went through the refiner's fire, though painful at the time, and laid down sins and habits and separated myself from the ways of this sinful world; learning what means to live sanctified and separated from the ways of the world. I am thankful for the ministry opportunities He has given me thus far, and I am thankful for the lessons learned. I know everything that I have come through and all the healing I have experienced is because Jesus chose the cross, the Bible says that He could have called 10,000 angels to His rescue but praise God, He became sin, who knew no sin, so I could become His righteousness, so that I could become saved, healed, delivered, and set free through His sacrifice, suffering and death on the cross! I am looking forward to year 34, more opportunities to minister for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as I continue growing in Him, serving, worshipping, praising, and living for Him until I see Him face to face.

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...
