Let Us!

-
I was in a time of prayer this afternoon over our country and this world, and even the churches at large. There is so much hatred going on and evil all around that God just needs His children praying fervently and allow Him to handle it all. But now, more than ever, is a time for compassion. The Lord desires His children to be His hands and feet. He desires for us to pray for others with love and understanding. He desires for us to keep a humble spirit. He desires for us to know that He forgives and changes others as only He and the Holy Spirit can bring the convicting power to a person's soul for them to have a repentant heart and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Several years ago the Lord had to humble me down in a mighty way. It is part of my testimony now. I don't like to rehash that time in my life, yet I had to go through it to learn what it truly means to stay humble before the Lord. What I went through was tough. It was ugly, messy, and hurtful yet now that I'm on the other side of it I'm beyond grateful that I learned to pray until I prayed through, and that I was delivered from that way of thinking and acting. I had to come to realize that not everyone is at the same point in their walk with Christ that you are, nor do we have the same convictions. I came out of prayer with these words flowing from my mouth.... let us not criticize, but let us compliment! Let us not backbite, but let us bless! Let us not ridicule, but let us reconcile! Let us not find fault, but let us find favor! Let us not be a tool of the enemy to deceive, but let us be a tool of the Lord to defend His Word! Let us not discourage, but let us encourage! Let us not pour guilt on others, but let us guide others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! Lord, help me to always have a kind and tender heart towards those who may just be in desperate need of more compassion. Let them always see YOU in me!♡

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...
