Trust the Process!

-

God's speaking... I'm listening. Every day is not a good day, but you need to be encouraged, take a deep breath, smile, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you a spirit to receive and keep going. Trust the process, in which God is taking you through to prepare you for your promise. I find peace in knowing that with every promise there comes a process. Let me break it down in this way. In Jeremiah 18:6, it talks about the potter and the clay. The process of becoming a pot from a lump of clay can’t be a pleasant one. The clay is shaped, left to set, and then put in a furnace. But at no point does the clay stop having a purpose. Although at times it may be difficult to see what God is doing with you, He promises that He is working on you and molding you to be more like Him. We’re a work in progress and nothing is stronger than this Potter’s commitment to finishing what He began. The process doesn’t always make sense, and it doesn’t always feel good, but there is a promise on the other side urging you to just hold on, trust God, and remain faithful even when you want to quit. Moses waited 80 years for a ministry that lasted 40 years—two-thirds of his life was spent getting ready; trusting the process to get to the ministry and still trusting the process while in ministry. Jesus even had to trust the process of His heavenly Father's plan for Him. Prayer is what keeps us together through the process, so when we pray let’s actually converse with God. Tell Him what’s bothering us, what’s hurting us, share with Him your concern and fears like you would with a best friend or your earthly parent. Trust the process, in which God is taking you through to prepare you for your promise.

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...
