God is in Control!

-

When your heart feels so unsettled... God is in control. When your mouth can't speak of the brokenness you feel... God is in control. When your mind can't comprehend the "whys" of life... God is in control. When your questions outweigh the answers... God is in control. When the health issues seem to be never ending... God is in control. When the world is full of unrest and turmoil... God is in control. When the unexpected happens... God is in control. When seasons change... God is in control. I just have to be obedient in reminding you that despite what lies ahead... God is in control.

God has been reminding me, this week, that He's in complete control. I feel this so much lately. Him speaking to me, His peace, which is perfect and passes all understanding. I feel His comfort, as He dries my tears in the moments I've felt the heaviness/worry this week. God sweetly reminds me that I am (we are) never alone, and I praise Him for that. I have clung to Him and held on to His precious promises in the middle of uncertainty and the unexpected. I have learned you can either use challenging situations to draw closer to God, or you can use them to push Him away. But remember His word tells us that if you will draw nigh (near) to God, He will draw nigh (near) to you. There is a purpose in everything with God, so trust the process! It doesn't always make sense to my human mind, but to my spiritual mind I see and understand the work God is doing in my life; it's surely something new and fresh. Through every challenge and hardship and trial in life, I know it is my calling to STAND FIRM, stay in tune with the Holy Spirit, be obedient to God, and to live for Christ and remind others that He is still a miracle working and healing God; He is still a saving and forgiving God. We have to push through those discouragements and disappointments and frustrations and anxieties in life, and there is ONE who surely pushes me to keep going and holds my hand every step of the way! We can't stop praying and trusting that God is in complete control! 🙌♥️

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...
