It Truly Could Be Worse!

-
Meanwhile there are 13 countries on a level 4 risk, "do not travel to", for these reasons. This is not including the other 13 countries I read about that are on a level 3 risk for horrible situations as well. And 3rd world countries where there are no daily basic needs to be found. I was praying, I said "God, I know this COVID-19 virus pandemic is bad, but yet I feel we are so blessed even still in America. So many hearts are gripped with fear and panic, yet Your calmness and assurance is still flooding my soul like never before! In my little small neck of the woods place in central Alabama, I just feel safe?!" Then, as I have NEVER did this before, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to google this "countries on a do not travel list". This came up. I'll be the first one to say, I just don't watch world news, I check my phone for the weather, and still don't watch local news. I just find my life to be more beneficial, as a child of Christ, to keep my focus on what says the Lord of Hosts. Yall, we are in a pandemic crisis, I get that, but how my eyes have been opened to just HOW MUCH WORSE IT COULD ACTUALLY BE! I don't wake up to a daily threat of these horrific situations that are taking place 24/7 in these countries. I think we should first, stop and pray over these places, and secondly truly COUNT OUR BLESSINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS, for the statement, "it could always be worse", has truly sounded loudly in my ears today and opened my eyes to some country situations I was truly oblivious about! Lord, help us all, if we are the mindest of, "COVID-19 is as bad as it can get right now!" Oh, I beg to differ!

3.30.2020 words I've written down, as I continue to journal about these days.

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...

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, ...

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...
