Trust the Delays!

                A  SUNSET DELAY.

Trust the delays in life. Trust God that He knows what He's doing. Stay in tune with God and really listen to what He has to tell you. I wasn't suppose to fly to Charlotte until Tuesday morning. By Friday night, I could hear God directing me to come on early for campmeeting services in North Carolina; that He would make a way with the changes. I changed my flight. My flight from Birmingham was delayed almost 2 hours. I didn't get frustrated, because God said to trust the delay. Had I not changed my flight, had my seat not been upgraded, had the flight not been delayed with take off (even extra delay time on the runway)... I would have missed watching a beautiful sunset from take off until landing. I normally don't fly in the evenings. To some a sunset on a flight may not mean anything, but to mean it meant everything. Sunsets have been special between God and me for years now. It's just like I get a glimpse of Heaven everytime I look at one. How He shows me that no two are ever alike and unique just like we are. How He reminds me that He is always watching over me. How He reminds me that only He could orchestrate something so beautiful. And tonight He reminded me, on that peaceful flight, just how much He cares and loves me despite myself sometimes. That delay had a beautiful reminder coming. A reminder of how much God knows what we need, when we need it most. A reminder of just how beautiful things can be, despite the ugliness of this world. A reminder of His peace and protection, despite an evil world we are living in. A reminder that I know I'm being obedient and moving forward in His will for my life in this season of life. As the sun would continue to set, it was like I could see Him changing the very colors with the brushstrokes of His hands. That hour flight was special time with just the Lord and me; like we were the only ones on there. I saw God in that sky!🥰😊

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...
