Worship is a Lifestyle!

-
"I love to watch you worship. It blesses me". I've been told this often and sometimes I've have struggled with it, because I'm thinking Lord it isn't about me, it's all about You. I don't want them looking at me. I want them to focus on You. Then a dear friend sends me this message, as we were discussing my struggle. "Try to think of it this way if you can: it’s not that they watch you like a tv show or a concert. Seeing someone who worships authentically is inspirational. It is a beautiful thing to see someone able to be vulnerable in worship because it is so rare. People enjoy seeing you worship because they can see the love for the Lord emanating from you, and they know the Lord is happy." 

Wow! I don't think about that, but it truly touched and blessed my heart. I understand it now from a different perspective. I praise the Lord for giving my friend the words to say. The Lord desires me to remember this, "keep letting them see Me through you." 

Lord, I just want to praise You and sing to You, because You deserve it. You deserve my most highest praise. My exuberant praise. My sincere praise. My heartfelt praise. You've been too good to me for me to sit down and be quiet. Even when the enemy fights me and tries to sit me down and shut me up, Lord it's my responsibility to get back up and worship You in both spirit and truth. When I'm happy, let me worship. When I'm sad, let me worship. When I'm struggling, let me worship. When I'm succeeding, let me worship. When I'm well, let me worship. When I'm burdened, let me worship. When I'm burdened and in the middle of a trial, let me worship. Because, worship isn't a one day a week thing for me. It's my lifestyle. It's my being. It's what helps me push through every adversity and spiritual attack that comes my way. Lord let them see You through me. Worship is truly what gets me through! ♡ I LOVE YOU LORD, AND I LIFT MY VOICE, TO WORSHIP YOU, OH MY SOUL REJOICE. TAKE JOY MY KING, IN WHAT YOU HEAR. MAY IT BE A SWEET, SWEET SOUND IN YOUR EAR!

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...
