Peace, Peace Wonderful Peace!

-
Today was just the most amazing feeling of peace I have had. The birds were singing beautifully, not worried about where their food was coming from, the sky was beautiful, the sun was warm on my face, and just looking at the beauty of our land you wouldn't think a worldwide virus pandemic was still going on, everything seemed so at ease, so quite and peaceful, which my mama and I discussed in that moment. 
*And, when the news came on the TV this evening something caught my attention, as well as my mama's, when President Trump was speaking... there was a calmness and assurance in his voice and on his face, that our country would be over this soon and he continued with facts not FEAR. People can hate or dislike him if they want, but he's continually done his best to not cause fear and to remind people of the importance of prayer and God in the middle of all of this; he has not endorsed or recommended panic buying; he continually has said that there is no shortage of food in the U.S., so only buy what you need. (It just reminds me of how the Lord can tell us His promises over and over, but we continue listening to the enemy's lies and feeding off them, tuning out the good God is trying to pour into our lives.)
*The cameras pan back to anyone else speaking for the news, and you see an instant tone of panic and fear (on their faces) and almost a solemn tone that chants of "death, death, death, die, die, die"... no wonder the country has followed suit with panic buying, etc. I know a virus pandemic is serious, and taking the recommended precautions are needed (yes, I'm staying at home), but I also know according to God's word, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue". 
*I watch very little news, because I choose to believe 'what thus saith the Lord of hosts'. If people could tune out the agony (again, I know that it is a serious virus and people have died, but sometimes a child calms just at the sound of a parents tone changing when they speak in the middle of something upsetting) being spoken for just one day, step outside and let God fill you with His perfect peace that passes all understanding and allow yourself to see His beauty of creation, right there in the privacy of your own land, it could very well help get this country back in the mindset of where it needs to be: faith and wisdom, yes... fear and panic, no! ♡

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...
