Shifting Of Seasons!

-
"Shifting of Seasons" - Last Wednesday afternoon, December 1st, I stepped outside for some fresh air at home and felt led to take pictures of the leaves on the ground and the changing of leaf colors still in the tree. I've watched these leaves transform a series of colors this year as Spring shifted into Summer, Summer shifted into Fall, and now Fall shifting into Winter. I have experienced a season change in my life this year, we all experienced a season change in 2020 when the pandemic started, but as I took these pictures several days ago I had no idea of the word the Lord would drop into my spirit, until tonight on my way home from church. Seasons change and shift, but God does not. He changes not, and is a solid rock that is unmoved by the shifting of seasons. Seasons will come and go, but God will always remain constant. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will remain constant in your trials and suffering as well as in your joy and happiness. God has your best interest at heart. He is our rock on which we can stand, who strengthens us and steadies us as we look to Him. We experience good and bad seasons... seasons of trials, of joy, of sadness, of mourning/grief, of brokenness and loneliness, of laughter, of uncertainty, of not knowing which direction to go next, of sickness, of good health, of questions, of endings, and new beginnings, but God remains faithful through it all. It makes me truly understand when His word tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us, for He is a friend Who sticks closer than a brother. Shifting of seasons help us learn to rely on God, grow in Him, and remind us Who is in control. While we may never understand why God would allow certain things to happen as they do, He knows what He is doing. God is in control and has set a time for everything in accordance with His purpose for our lives. It is all according to His divine plan. Everything He does is for our good and His glory. A shifting of a season isn't always easy, but it is our job to listen to God and trust in His timing. It is our call to remain faithful to Him, even when we don't feel like it. Your season may be shifting without warning, you may feel like you've been punched in the gut, you may feel like you've been blindsided and don't know which move to make... but God says tonight to trust Him and wait upon His timing and wait upon Him. If a season is shifting in your life, there is purpose behind it. Don't act hastily. Wait upon Him. Listen to Him. Harken your ear to Him. Hear from Him. Turn your eyes toward Him. He will guide you. He will order your steps.

In Christ,

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...
