New Year's Revival!

-
6 and 1/2 months ago (the end of June 2022), God spoke to my heart about getting to North Carolina for campmeeting and coming by myself. That's the first trip I've ever went on in my life, by myself, at 38 years old. But I knew and trusted God would take care of me. There was such a peace in my heart that could only come from Him. That week I learned alot about myself and that a new season/chapter was coming in my life. That week would help me to keep pushing forward when I had no idea of the hurt that was coming my way several months later. That week formed new and lasting friendships. That week sisters would take time to pour into me words of wisdom and prophecy, pray and cry with me, and then laugh for hours as the joy of the Lord poured over us. That week I left a part of my heart in North Carolina. Fast forward to less than a year later and 3 days before their New Year's Revival 2023 begins, God allows everything to fall into place and gets me back to North Carolina to be in services with them again this week! I'm not taking it for granted! It was so good to walk in those doors and be so warmly greeted and welcomed with many neck hugs and smiles on Sunday morning! It felt like I was home! One sister said, "it's always good to see your smiling face!". I felt the same way about seeing their smiling faces. One brother said, "this is your church now, whether you're in Alabama or not". I feel the same way. There was a supernatural healing anointing flowing that morning! The Holy Ghost was among us! ❤️🙌 My heart and my mind was truly healed by Sunday afternoon (testimony to come in a separate post)! I'll never forget finding a video of Dallas Church of God on YouTube probably 7 or 8 years ago and knew immediately I felt a connection, and this church had something really special. It's such a positive and uplifting atmosphere for me. It's church services like I grew up in. As I started following and watching their services on facebook, I've called them my "facebook church" for years. Now, it's more than that, it's home to me when I'm here! I pray and intercede for them! I'm poured into when I am here! They are ministering to people all over the world through social media! They fight the good fight of faith too! They need prayer! No church or person is immune to the attacks of satan! I know that I can never stay down for the count! I have to keep pressing on! I have to keep fighting the fight of faith!

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...
