The Delete Button!

-
I've been deleted as someone's facebook friend many times over the past 10 years because of my faith in Christ and making the decision to use my page as a ministry tool. Or simply deleted, because they didn't have the same opinion as me. Several years ago, I remember that I would allow it to effect my feelings, as I wasn't as strong in my walk with God as I am now. I was reminded of this as it happened again recently, when I didn't reply to their message. I don't entertain those thoughts anymore. I delete and move forward. I know satan's tricks and schemes, and he will set traps for you. I just hope and pray that before the delete friend button was hit, that a seed was planted in that person's life. I never give it a second thought as it doesn't shake my faith, but my heart does hurt for them. I normally wouldn't share something like this, because people's negative opinions of me don't matter, but I believe someone is allowing themselves to be bogged and weighed down based on someone else's opinions of you, while the Lord is wanting to speak words of wisdom and comfort into your life. Being a Christian isn't always easy. It is not always easy to share your faith with a boldness and confidence in a sin sick world full of division. But it is so worth it, and what I'm called to do. For every thought you give to someone's opinions that don't matter, you're hindering what the Lord wants to do in your life for those people who do want and need to hear what you have to say. Your words of encouragement and hope may just be what that person needs to keep on going. Don't allow the enemy to use that one person when God has a work for you to do to reach people for His namesake.

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in Heaven." - Matthew 10:32

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...
