I Will Praise You in this Storm!

-
When you are in the middle of a spiritual storm... you have two options: 1. Lay down in defeat or 2. Get up and praise the Lord in the middle of it. I chose the latter. I woke up in need of His sweet peace again, still pushing through my problems. I had cried so much yesterday to where the corners of my eyes were still sore when I woke up this morning, yet Jesus is still right here beside me as He always will be. I started singing the chorus of the  song, "I will praise You in this storm", when I heard the Lord speak to my heart and say that it had been a while since I had sit at my keyboard and poured my heart out to Him in song... so, I got up out of my bed and made an effort to do what I knew I needed to do... having never played this song before on the keyboard, I felt the Holy Spirit guide my fingers and there was a sweet release throughout it. Once again, I feel God's reassurance & peace that this storm will soon be behind me, and I will again be stronger in the Lord walking into something new and fresh, as He gives me the ability to withstand the seasons of hard times and storms.

Lyrics:
V1 - I was sure by now... God, You would have reached down. And wiped my tears away. Stepped in and saved the day. And once again... I say, "Amen" and it's still raining. But as the thunder rolls, I barely hear Your whisper through the rain... "I'm with you"... And as Your mercy falls. I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives, And takes away.

Chorus - And I'll praise You in this storm. And I will lift my hands. For You are who You are. No matter where I am. And every tear I've cried, You hold in Your hand. You never left my side. And though my heart is torn. I will praise You in this storm.

V2- I remember when I stumbled in the wind. You heard my cry, You raised me up again. But my strength is almost gone. How can I carry on... If I can't find You? But as the thunder rolls... I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, "I'm with you". And as Your mercy falls. I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives, And takes away.

Chorus again.

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...
