One More River!

-
I'm thankful for an on time word of encouragement tonight. When you wake up extra emotional it makes for a long day. I realized it was Grandparents Day. I struggle badly with this day having no living grandparents. I'm always extra weepy every year. The enemy then preys on your emotions and everything seems 100x worse then what it is. I spent personable time with God. I was listening and worshipping to the song, "One More River", and God's precious words flooded my soul. ❤🙌 They soothed my soul like a healing balm. I feel like so many may be struggling with something and can also find encouragement through these words.

God says, "I am fixing it. I am already working behind the scenes. Hold on to the peace I am  sending you. It is going to be okay. I just need you to be still sometimes, and remember that I am God. Do not bow to the spirit of intimidation. Do not fret the ones who were sent on assignment by the enemy. Sure the enemy fights you, but sometimes I am testing you to see how faithful you will remain to Me, especially in the middle of the battle and struggles. Hold on to My righteous right hand. Don't fear to trust me saith the Lord. I brought Israel through the wilderness, and I delivered the disciples when they were under extreme pressure. I have My hand upon you, because you are Mine. I will protect you and lead you on through by the moving of My wonder working power. Plant you feet. Stand your ground. Stay strong. I have positioned you for this. You will come out stronger and victorious through Me," says God.

I worshipped and praised right along with these precious people, through livestream, for Sunday night service. Thankful to know and have friends from this church, including the sister singing this song. God knows what we need when we need it most. He brought the Holy Ghost comforter my way. He knew I needed this song. I'm holding on to that precious nail scarred hand. 🙌❤

"One More River"

I’ve had a lot of troubles and trials in my little life span. When I’m standing alone and the battle gets hard, I always do the best I can. I’ve crossed a million valleys and shed a million tears. But when I come to the River of Jordan, Hallelujah, then I’ll have no fear...

Chorus
I've got one more river to cross, one more mountain to climb. One more valley that I’ve gotta go thru, then I’m leaving my troubles behind. One more battle with the devil, then I know he’ll understand. I’m going thru with Jesus, Hallelujah. Holding to His nail scarred hand, holding to His nail scarred hand.

There’s been a lot of people talking ‘bout me since I’ve walked this narrow way. But that’s just another little valley, I came thru it when I prayed. I’ve climbed a lot of high mountains and crossed a lot of little streams. But when I see ole Jordan cold and dark, that’ll be the last for 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...
