My prayer! My heart! ♡ "Lord, I pray for nothing else... just “Peace” Lord! I have no other prayer in this season of life Lord... other than Your Own abundant, enduring peace... the perfect peace that passeth all understanding. Yes Lord! You knew full well that where there is understanding, there would be peace. So, I ask just for Your peace... for Your peace brings with its flow... Contentment, Forgiveness, Graciousness, Love, Strength, Understanding, and Happiness. Once You anoint me with Your peace... All else will follow – So, I will only pray that Your peace will stay with me this day and the days to follow! AMEN!"
My prayer is that many people, across this world, will be encouraged and uplifted by reading even one of these posts. The birth of this blog brought much healing into various areas of my life. If you scroll to the bottom of the home page, you'll see a link to the post about why I named my blog "becoming better women". Even though I want to reach everyone, this was about helping myself learn to keep growing in Christ and becoming more "Christ like" and a better woman of God!

Be of Good Courage!
Life consists of conflicts and spiritual battles and attacks. You and I will always be fighting something. Whether it is others bad attitudes, hindering spirits, spiritual opposition, or persecution. This is why we must not give up but endure the race in life and trust God to carry us through to the finish. I read some where one time, if you have the attention of the enemy, you also have the attention of God
A battle always precedes a breakthrough. How we handle the problems and whether we get tired and give up depends on our resolve. God is for you and has given you complete authority over the forces of darkness ( Luke 10:19). You can overcome these dominions at any level (whether it be powers, principalities, rulers of darkness, or spiritual wickedness) with the three weapons in your arsenal: God's Word, prayer, and fasting. Daniel used these three weapons for twenty one days to overcome the prince of Persia. When Daniel spoke the word, prayed, and fasted those three weeks, the archangel Michael came to do battle with this spirit and won. When you speak God's word, heaven moves to do your bidding. You are putting the forces of heaven against the forces of hell and God always wins. Be of good courage and don't give up!
Broken Concrete Block!
Repost from 2015: The broken concrete block: what it represents in my life... a few weeks ago my daddy came home from work to find this block had been moved from behind the barn to under our window behind the house. No doubt someone tried to break in, but it broke and crumbled.... God was there and I believe He prevented the house from getting broken into... yes, you are angry but you pray for the person's soul, praise God for His protection and do your best to go on... but there the broken concrete block lay and you see so much hurt going on, so much hate in this world, people being tortured and killed everyday for no reason or because they are Christians...God is still there... you see family members or friends or church family going through health issues, getting bad reports, suffering, declining health, but still...God is bigger and God is still there... You see so many hurting and seem to be forgotten or feel that way, and through tears and hurt you realize the Lord gave you the means and opportunity to minister to them so go through that open door and be His hands and feet, don't wait on someone else to do the ministry He has called you to do... God is there; still there... through stress and worry you realize tomorrow may not come, but if the Lord tarries, He has provided a much needed vacation for you and you praise Him for it and don't feel guilty. It is good to take time for yourself to regain strength and focus... God is here, God is there, God is everywhere... you get home from church and get a call from your daddy and find out the debit card has been compromised but the bank closed the card and declined a $400+ charge, and though a $100+ is pending, it will be reversed. Yes, you are frustrated but... God is still there. Once again you pray for the person's soul, thankful you still have money and move forward.
I keep this picture in my phone gallery, because this broken concrete block represents my brokeness... those times when the crumbled pieces of my hurt, disappointments, sorrows, pain, frustrations, anger, depression, sadness cloud my mind and fill my eyes with tears... I know God cares about those tears, and I know God is still there! When you feel broken, alone and like no one cares... God cares and God is there! Though the pieces are crumbled now... I pray daily for God's hand of protection, guidance, direction, favor and blessings... and that His Holy Angels encamp around me... knowing that He is coming to get me one day to take me to my Heavenly home...where the broken pieces will be put back together forever... not for evil purposes but pure and holy purposes... always remember that in the midst of it all... God is still there!!

God Has The Power!
I am approaching the 3 year anniversary of the birth of my blog. I'm thankful for the continual healing God has brought into my life since beginning the blog. I am still in awe that without paid ads of this blog, God has allowed it to be viewed almost 36,000 times in 120 countries, as of October 2020. Considering there are only 195 recognized countries, it boggles my mind. All 379, current number, blog posts have been viewed by multiple people other than myself. But as someone who has always felt compelled to do missionary work, I know God made a way for that through this blog. The emails I've received from people in other countries let's me know the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being shared all over the world through my obedience with this blog. I've printed and saved every email received, along with my response. People just wanting hope, needing encouragement, deciding not to give up because of reading something I was obedient in posting. Something powerful happend earlier this year, when I received a blog comment from a lady in desperate need of Jesus. She informed me that she ended up on my blog after searching for pornargrapy, she didn't know how it happened but she then commented that she knew there was a God after that happened and she was desperate to then believe and turn her life over to Him. Folks, that's the power of God. That's proof that God is still compelled to pull people to Him, and He desires to not give up on us. It's proof that everything the enemy means for evil, God will turn around for good. All of the evil on the internet, God has the power to redirect a soul to the good.
