Speak Life!

-

On May 12th, 2019 on my way home from church that morning, God spoke these words to me, "speak life". Since that day He has taken me on a journey of learning to speak life again in the middle of tough situations. It's been a spiritual, emotional, and physical  battle the last 2 weeks but I've buckled down, stayed the course and kept pressing on. May 26th, 2019 I shared this word with the people at New Life Assembly of God. Through this blog, I share this word with you. If you're discouraged and in a hopeless state of despair, challenge yourself to begin speaking life this week. When you make speaking life a habit (like prayer, bible reading, church attendance, tithing or fasting), you will begin to see God at work all the time in your life. You will become more aware of His presence, goodness, mercy, grace, etc. Speaking life daily and refusing to entertain negative conversation helps build your trust in God, so that when trials come, your faith is strong and your trust becomes solid without doubt. I begin to feel better when I speak life and encouraging words, I notice my problems less because I shift my focus to the problem solver (God). I now stubbornly and bullheadedly believe in speaking life! I use to get so frustrated with the doubters, mockers, and scoffers because they didn't believe or see things like I did. This past week God spoke to me how maybe they weren't raised in church, they've haven't experienced healings and recovery from over 30 surgeries like you have, they've haven't felt the love of Me, they haven't experienced Me turning hopeless situations around, they maybe want to protect themselves and say it looks bad and not get their hopes up speaking life! Instead of frustration, I started feeling empathy for them and knowing that it is still my job to share the gospel, to speak life, to tell them even when it looks hopeless we still have a reason to SPEAK LIFE! I know when I wasn't speaking life, those "speak life" prayers from others is what brought me through. So, I challenge you to stand up and speak life, because when you're speaking life you're speaking God's word and not man's opinion.

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...
