God Is Our Safety and Protection!

-
The Bible tells us the many ways the Lord protects us. He protects us from the wicked, from illnesses, from traps (satan's snares), from storms, and from destruction (both physically and spiritually). I believe that God’s words are a gift to us; they are a sword, a weapon and our protection (God's Word spells God Sword). It's so important in these days to speak and pray ONLY life over our family and country daily. Speak life and positively about situations; speak ONLY healing and hope. It does matter what you speak, so choose your words carefully. Study, learn, seek Him, and speak God’s Word in faith. I focus only on whom I am in Christ, where He is taking me, and how He is using me for His glory to advance His kingdom. I have complete peace and the Lord continues to strengthen me to face whatever lies ahead without fear or doubt. The Lord is a shield for all to look to for His protection. He will protect you wherever you go, for His name is a strong tower that the righteous run into and are safe. As we sung in church Sunday "I'm not backing down from any giant, I know how this story ends... You take what the enemy meant for evil and You turn it for good". Run to Him for safety. God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind. Do not fear bad news, but confidently trust the Lord to care for you. He will strengthen you when you feel faint. Wait on the Lord and He shall renew your strength. You shall run & not be weary, walk & not faint. 

Scripture: 
I will both lay me down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. Psalm 4:8

For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. 
Psalm 32:7

The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 (but go ahead and read the rest of that chapter)

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...
