The Finish Line!

-

We start running our race through life, as Christians, to make it to our forever home in Heaven scenario versus the infamous death crawl scene in the "Facing the Giants" movie. A movie about faith and trusting God to do the impossible for you and for others.

Scene plays out like this:

God: Keep your knees off the ground, use your hands and feet... there you go, there you go, show me good effort. Way to go, keep moving, there you go, it is a good start, just a little bit left on your goal. There you go! Good strength, that's it, that's it!

Us: Am I at the 20 yet?

God: Forget the 20, you give me your best, you keep going that's it!

***we stop***

God: Don't stop, you've got more in you than that!

Us: I'm not done... just resting a second!

God: You gotta keep moving, let's keep moving, don't quit until you got nothing left!

***we continue on our journey***

God: There you go keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, that's it you keep driving, keep your knees off the ground! Keep driving it. Your very best, your very best, your very best! Keep moving; that's it! That's it! That's it! Keep going, don't quit on me, keep going! Keep driving it! Keep your knees off the ground! That's it; your very best don't quit on me! Your very best, keep going, keep going! There you go, there you go! That's it you keep going! Don't quit until you got nothing left!

***we keep moving, but it starts to get hard when trials come our way***

God: Keep moving, that's it... that's it... that's it! Keep going! I want everything you got, come on keep going.

Us: It hurts!

God: Don't quit on me! Your very best, keep going! Keep going! There you go... there you go!

Us: It's heavy!

God: I know!

Us: I'm losing strength!

God: Than you need to negotiate with your body to find more strength, but don't you give up on me, you keep going you hear me, you keep going... you're doing good, you keep going! Do not quit on me... you keep going!

Us: It hurts!

God: I know it hurts, but you keep going! You keep going! It's all heart from here! 30 more steps! You keep going! Come on! Keep going!

Us: It's too hard!

God: It's not too hard! You keep going! Come on! Give me more! Give me more! Keep going! 20 more steps! 20 more! Keep going! Give me your best! Don't quit! No! Keep going! Keep going! Keep going! Don't quit! Don't quit! Don't quit! You don't quit! Keep going!

Us: It hurts!

God: Keep going! Go! You don't quit on me! No, you keep going! You keep going! No! 10 more steps! 10 more!

Us: AH!

God: 10 more , just 10 more steps, keep going! Don't quit! Give me more!

Us: I can't do it!

God: You can! 5 more steps! 5 more! Come on! Don't quit! Don't quit! Come on! 2 more steps! 1 more step!

***we finally make it home***

IF YOU DON'T QUIT, GOD WON'T QUIT! KEEP GOING! KEEP MOVING! KEEP BELIEVING! KEEP TRUSTING! KEEP PRAYING! KEEP SEEKING! KEEP THE FAITH! ♡

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"?

-
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...

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...
