I am bigger than I appear....
4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.- 1 John 4:4 KJV
There are times when my abilities are underestimated. There are times when I am overlooked. I am even misunderstood. Those are the times God really does shine through me because he gets the glory in everything. How? Because I am underestimated anything I accomplish above and beyond will show something greater had to be working with me, through me, and around me.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
When you are placed in that position in your life, in friendships, at work, or wherever that is the time you should allow God's abilities to be shown through you. Don't become frustrated or become discouraged instead strive to be a willing vessel for God to use. Release and surrender your will to receive the fullness he wants to work through you. When you do that greater impression will be made to those to receive the fullness of God as you did. Sometimes we are the example of the proof of a true relationship with God and we must demonstrated his ways in our lives when we want to get emotional as most would. So repeat the word of God over your life daily!
With God, you can accomplish anything and do greater things!
1 John 5:4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
You must remember, you are bigger than any trouble and can accomplish greater with the Spirit of God leading and guiding you through everything..

A GREAT Read.."The Power of Crying Out.."
I have been reading this book off and on for the past 3 weeks. With such a busy schedule it makes it harder to get a good book finished and read in a timely matter but every time I read a chapter its worth the time spent.
This book tells you the importance of crying out to God. There are times in our lives we feel as if Jesus is asleep on us as the disciples did in Luke 8:22-24 and that he is not aware of our storm but when the disciples cried out to Jesus he calm the sea.
I encourage you to pick up this book and learn the importance of your CRY! It tells you when to cry and scriptures to use in a cry.
So take your time and look on the right and you can find this book at Amazon.com for very cheap price. I found my book at half price books. You will not be disappointed! READ and SHARE!

Keeping a Holy Attitude...
Has there ever been a time you were placed in a situation that seemed unjust? But the first reply that came to your head with fleshly, negative, and out right would have not been a Holy Attitude?
Let's be honest, we have been in the situation where someone got under our skin and we wanted to tell them how to put it and where to go because we are fleshly beings the enemy is always telling you what you should say or do. With God there is a better way to response if you are slow to speak and quick to listen.
James 1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
If we are going to be walking in holiness and the Bible says, 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy, if our mindsets are Holy then our attitudes must display the thinking or Christ. Remember the saying, What would Jesus do? That is the mindset we must have and our conversations must still be holy. We must not think, Oh I dare them! or Do they not know who I am? but look at who Jesus was and is still today. He is being talked about, misrepresented, accused, doubted, and joked about. Though he sat at the right hand of our God, he came on earth as a servant man, made human to start from the bottom to rise back to the top. He could have taken the same attitude and gave in to the flesh but he didn't because his purpose was bigger than that situation or accusations.
Jesus taught us humility in his life. He did not boast or demand anything which he could have being the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. That is not saying we can never speak up for ourselves but we must remember to use wisdom. We can calmly speak and defend ourselves or present the situation as we saw it. Sometimes we should just speak our battles wisely and some things aren't worth the fight. When you know who is in control and you believe your purpose is bigger than why fight? Do they know who you serve? Do they know the God you serve? We can not fault people for the lack of knowledge. We must pray for them even when they offend us.
It takes a strong person to become humble and walk away from a dispute. We couldn't do this on our own strength but God's strength has the ability to overcome anything of the flesh. Having a strong relationship with God will make it easy to be humble. Humility is not weakness. Having a solid foundation to stand on will help you understand when you speak and when to just listen.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
We must become humble without murmuring, complaining about it, and seeking revenge thinking, The next time I will get them! We must remember when we found Christ our conversation changed, we put off the old man for the new man, our walk changes, and our life changes. Christ died for us in love. That same love is expected of us to die daily so Christ can rise up within us.
To love God, we must love people. Jesus acted in love. We must act in love. Again, we must love God and love his people! If we continue in love in our walk with the Lord it will show in our lifestyle.
Gal. 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Love doesn't seek to destroy but love supports, build, and strengthens. God will never place you in a situation in were your self-value and self worth will be demolished. We must remember to be kind and compassionate to one another. We must trust God in all things even when it don't make sense. We must remember to forgive!
Luke 6:29 To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also;
When faced with a tough situation always remember to PRAY! Prayer changes things, rearranges things, and re-positions things. Prayer works! Something isn't working out or is stressing you out. Pray that God gives you wisdom in your actions and pray mercy over that person that has offended you. Must people do not even realize who their messing with in the Spirit. They do not know about your anointing or your ability to call God to your rescue. So pray for people. Do not hold it against them. You know the enemy is working everyday to kill, steal and destroy your future. So do not allow an attitude to stop a blessing.
Matt 5:44-45 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Is there anything you can think of that you can't do by FAITH?
Begin reading Hebrews 11....
Now tell me what you can do by FAITH? By faith I can....
Speak into your life. Encourage yourself in your journey and walk with the Lord.
Heb. 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please the Lord...
You must begin to look at your life not through natural sight but through eyes of faith because your natural eyes will always bring doubt, fear, worry, discouragement to you. Faith is like a pair of glasses you put on to bring clarity and sharpens your view. What you thought you saw or counted wasn't really what was going on. When you placed your glasses of faith over your natural eyes you will see the situation totally differently. You will begin to see things moving in your life and begin speaking into your life based on the view of faith.
Sometimes we can become side track by things in our lives that will cause us to lose our faith glasses. There are other times we allow someone else's view of our life to taint our view of the situation but God requires you to see things by FAITH! Then we begin to try to hurry the process because our view is clouded by flesh.
The Lord knows the desires of our hearts but he also knows that the things of the world will never satisfy us. The things of the world do not last forever such as jobs, cars, houses, money and clothes, those things come and go in our life. Flesh will never be satisfy or secure by the things of the world.
The enemy knows that we fear that things in our life and those things in our heart may not come to past. He will begin playing games with your mind. Then you begin to question the abilities of God, Will God? , Can God?, or It doesn't look like God hears me? Maybe if I do such and such then God can do the rest.
Let me be honest with you, God created the world without our help, Why can't he handle your situation without your help? When you step out of it, let God handle it, and watch things work for the Glory of God! That is FAITH! You must trust the Lord in all things. As women we can sometimes find ourselves feeling we can handle this and give God something else but God wants everything. ALL! Not Partial!
In order to stand on the promises of God, we must keep our eyes in the word of God, through his word our faith will build and grow!
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Spending time in your word and with God you will begin to see the beginner picture. You will grow in your faith! Knowing that there is nothing God can't do. Can God? God Can!

Are you Secure in Who God created you to be?
My encouraging word today is to know: You can be secure in Christ Jesus.
When your making tough decisions in your life, don't make them based on your opinions, strengths, and thoughts but on God's faithfulness, on the word, his promises, and his strengths.
When you are secure in God, you can speak into the atmosphere, and expect life in a dead place. God has left the same powers and abilities through the Holy Spirit for us to command the seasons, our lives, jobs, demons, and anything in the natural and spiritual. So, Speak into your life right now:
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
John 14:26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
- Romans 8:27
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. (NIV)
When You are secure in who God created you to be...then you know God is always with you in time of hardship, trouble, disappointment, stress, depression, loneliness, and we can go on and on. You must know he is always with you.
“The LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him”
(2 Chr. 15:2)
“I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20).
When you are secure in who God created you to be, then you will not be double minded, for you will stand on the word of God. You are not be easily moved or go against the word of God.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8
James 4:8 Come near
to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify
your hearts, you double-minded.
When you are secure in who God created you to be, then you will know you were made in his image and likeliness, that everything God made is good.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them. Gen. 1:27
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be
received with thanksgiving: 1 Tim. 4:4
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
As a woman of God, God created you to shine brightly...
1 Corinthians
11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and
glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
You are the reflection of beauty in many forms, strength, value, and honor. Don't doubt your importance and role in the Kingdom of God because your role is precious to God.
There are great women of God rising up all around you each aand everyday making a difference in the Kingdom. No role is too small or position too high for God to use you in a magnificent way. Just stay secure in God. Keep him as the ruler and author of your life. Remember, your not the problem but a problem-solver. You are a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! You are true Royalty!
Be Blessed

When you've given your all...
Throughout your life, you have been in many situations where you have done all you can in that situation. Now you wonder, What's next?
What else can I do? What more can I give? What else does everyone expect me to give?
You begin to stress yourself out and worry about finding a way to do more but the reality is the rest is God's doing. It is only so much you can do in a situation that God has placed you in. We find ourselves worrying and depressing overselves over the circumstance when it was God who approved the situation.
When you've you given your all... let God do the rest! Give up control, stop planning, take your hands out of it. No longer carry the burden because it was never yours to carry!
When you've given your all..just begin to pray! Lord, give me the strength to endure the road ahead. God give me wisdom and knowledge to prepare to be an example of your glory and righteousness. Lord, I pray for a listening ear, faith to step out, and confidence to step alone. I rebuke fear, worry, stress, depression, anxiety, negativity, and anything not like you. In Jesus Name Amen.
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in
everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue
to make your wants known to God. Philippians 4: 6
When you've given your all.. sometimes God is looking for more. Our all does not measure to the expectation God has for us in our lives. Sometimes you feel you gave your all but really..you kept this small little thing to yourself cause that is your thing. God says, I want the time you spend watching television, the time you spend in the car, and the early mornings you spend sleeping in. Why don't you take those times to pray to me, to serve in my kingdom, and to praise & worship me? Look in your life and see..Where could I give more?
When you've given your all...begin to praise him! Thank him right now for taking control of your life. Thank him for being a forgiving God, mighty God, worth God, all-knowing God, omni-present, and worship him because his regin is forever! Delight yourself in the Lord for he is worthy of all praises!
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
When you've given your all... Don't give up on God!
Remember, He is Able!

Insecurities...Overcome them! Pt. 1
Insecurity- 1. lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt: - dictionary.com
Insecurities seem to cloud a woman's mind, over take her thoughts of herself, her abilities, and attributes. Every woman goes through it, a feeling of inadequateness, comparing one's self to another woman either friend or on television. Listening to other women at the gym, mall, or reading a magazine on what is the proper silhouette for each size of a woman. It is hard as a human being not meeting expectation especially of a society that is constantly promoting a false image of an ideal woman. No one ever really tells you about Photoshop editing that is done in photos or how the woman in the photo has her own insecurities she is dealing with in her own life. She feels just as insecure but it is possibly in a different area than those envying her.
Another way insecurities are planted within us is from our own friends! Yes, our friends can plant insecure feelings within us! We listen to them talk about their insecure issues, I know this us true, I have sometimes have done the same thing. Usually joking about myself but how does my friend know I am serious or not since we are just talking? Are they looking at themselves and seeing the same flaws that "we" say are flaws.
Growing up in my house, I was blessed to have a mother that was always encouraging everything about me. Anything I thought was a flaw or a problem area, she was working to help me overcome those thoughts within myself and see the beauty of God's creation.
As parents, you must remember that your children can possibly carry your insecurities, listening to you everyday speaking negative words about yourself. A child will start to look at themselves in the mirror and worry about themselves. Then you begin to wonder, why does my child think so negative of themselves? How did this start? Sadly, it started with you!
That brings me to the point that your insecurities could have came from family drama and parents' insecurities. Some parents have placed their own emotions, desires, and struggles on their children. You could have adapted their problems but you have the power to overcome those issues by seeing the best of God's creation; by not comparing ourselves to the world's standards and unrealistic expectation.
Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Your challenge is to wake up each day and tell yourself..
"I am beautiful. I am wonderfully made. It starts with my smile, it is a sign of his grace; his love is displayed in my eyes, the color determined by faith. My hair is his glory, his light shines from my face. My figure is perfecting, perfection is made through Christ. I am more than a conquer, insecurities will leave my life!"- Prophetess Tashaye
If you want to add more, please do, post it throughout your house, on your computer, in your purse, remember ... you’re beautiful!
Jude 1:2 ESV
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Let us as women today take the time to find value in ourselves by noticing our characteristics and substance! Rather it is our laughter, our smile, kindness, giving, mercy, grace, polished style...
What attributes contribute to your true beauty?
How often are you discouraging yourself?
How can we be encourager of God and discourage his creation?

It's in her Stride...
- decisive: (of a person) Having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively
2. v. Cross (an obstacle) with one long step
3. n. A step or stage in progress toward an aim
As women of God we must stride towards our purpose in Christ Jesus. We must be able to stride past obstacles, construction, and avoid pits in our walk with God. Our stride must be long steady steps towards his destination for our lives. We should walk with confidence as each step presses firmly on the ground. Our rock is the Lord Jesus Christ, so we should rest assured that each step is ordered by God by continuing in prayer throughout our day. God is constantly elevating us and we are learning him the more as we stride.
Each step we make is a step of progress from our past relationships, friendships, and mistakes. Yes, you will endure in your stride. We go through storms, rains, over hills, and we must keep the pace. We must remember that we have past that part of our lives and never walk backwards or continue in a cycle. A stride is a step forward! When we are stepping forward we must look forward. We should never look back because we then miss out on what God is trying to show us. Every obstacle is a testimony to glorify God. Every situation is temporary!When you stride you have the ability to step over things that were setup to trip you. For example, a pot hole in the ground, you see it in advance, you are prepared to step over it in your stride. In your stride you must be able to make quick decisions and be able to adjust to change. Remember to always pray a covering over yourself and those you are dealing with each day. You never know how the enemy is working against you so you want to be prepared.
Stride with Confidence because you know God is in control.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Never give up!
2 Chronicles 20:17
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Living Holy, Who said it was Easy...
In a conversation with another sister in Christ, the comment was made that living Holy isn't easy, because of all the sin in the world everywhere you go. Well, I can agree it is not easy especially for someone new in Christ. Many of us see people doing it everyday and you wonder, How do they do it ? or Do they ever get tempted?
Psalm 101:1-4
I will sing of mercy and justice;To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not know wickedness.
Yes, everyone gets tempted, but you do not have to give in to temptation. Even the devil tempted Jesus while he was fasting. And to say your never tempted isn't true, because we are flesh but everyone may not have the same temptation. One person may not feel tempted in one thing while that same thing could be a temptation to someone else.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Ps. 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Sometimes it seems like your losing a lot but actually your gaining more than you can imagine.
Matt. 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
As women, we have to break free from ungodly relationships and not enter into relationships with gentlemen who look good but we know their not good for you. The feeling of loneliness will try to come up on you but again you will rise above it.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Rise above your emotions. Rise above your flesh. Rise above and be lifted up. Why? Because you uplift the name of Jesus he will continue to elevate you!
1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Jesus has been the best example of a disciplined person in life. If fasting was needed, He Fasted. Prayer needed, he prayed. Time to teach, he taught. He was always quick to move when the word of God was given, spoken, and heard. When you read the life of Christ, you can see how important disciplined lifestyle is for men & women of God.
Proverbs 25:28 A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls.

Image is Everything...
When your coming to church...Image is Everything!
How you present yourself says something, the question is, What do you want to say? Many people debate this topic over and over again but I am not here to debate. I am here to educate. If you can wear the right apparel for job interviews than why not to church? And you can do as the employer ask in the dress code but find it offensive by the church to be asked to dress a certain way. Come on Women of GOD!
As a young woman in the church and ministry, I have learned how to present myself to the body of Christ in order to be received, because my purpose/message is bigger than my attire so why debate over it? So, You haven't been to church in a while and if your like me you want to stay fashionable.
Remember when your getting dressed for church service that you are not going to the mall, kicking it with your friends, or school. You are going to church. This is the Kingdom of God and we must remember that when we are getting dressed for church.
For example, if you put on an outfit and your first thought is "Wow, this makes me look sexy" Sexy should not be your agenda when attending church. I am sorry. God does not want to know how sexy you can dress in his temple.
Nor does God want to know how great your legs look in heels so, please bring the skirt length down. I'm sorry. That is not why we come to church. We should not aim to be a distraction in the church. That is not our goal. Yes, your beautiful! You must believe that even without dressing that way in church. We are Queens and Princesses in God's kingdom and we should look that way at all times. What I am saying is, you can look fashion trendy, holy, and acceptable to Jesus Christ all at the same time.
Everyone expects church to take you as you are even after you have come to the knowledge of what is right. It is just like a job, you might wear one thing and they tell you hey, the employer say no to that, be honest we will not wear it again. Why? Cause we want to keep our job but we feel that God gets what I give him. We should dress as royalty, clothing ourselves in righteousness and holiness. God should be the one shining through us.
One thing my Pastor always tells us, God will bring the conviction and change so, you do not have to tell people, you just walk in it and God will do the rest. When your really after God own heart, you will do it, cause your sincere about God but those of you who know better but do whatever, Lets do better for the King. It is all to the King.
Take value in your attire. Dress as a Virtuous Woman. Walk as a Holy woman.

Nor does God want to know how great your legs look in heels so, please bring the skirt length down. I'm sorry. That is not why we come to church. We should not aim to be a distraction in the church. That is not our goal. Yes, your beautiful! You must believe that even without dressing that way in church. We are Queens and Princesses in God's kingdom and we should look that way at all times. What I am saying is, you can look fashion trendy, holy, and acceptable to Jesus Christ all at the same time.
Everyone expects church to take you as you are even after you have come to the knowledge of what is right. It is just like a job, you might wear one thing and they tell you hey, the employer say no to that, be honest we will not wear it again. Why? Cause we want to keep our job but we feel that God gets what I give him. We should dress as royalty, clothing ourselves in righteousness and holiness. God should be the one shining through us.
One thing my Pastor always tells us, God will bring the conviction and change so, you do not have to tell people, you just walk in it and God will do the rest. When your really after God own heart, you will do it, cause your sincere about God but those of you who know better but do whatever, Lets do better for the King. It is all to the King.
Take value in your attire. Dress as a Virtuous Woman. Walk as a Holy woman.

It is his will that every need be supplied...
If it is God's will to supply and be the provider of all of our needs. Why do we fret? Why do we worry? Why don't we trust him at his word.
Philippians 4:19 (Whole Chapter)
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Since his word says, he will supply our NEEDS not all our WANTS. Really, if we got everything we wanted, How would God get the glory? Would we appreciate the things we have or will we complain that it is not enough? Would we still Praise Him for his wondrous works?
I doubt it. I love the scripture because he says, according to HIS RICHES and Glory. When you read the Bible, Jesus did not have luggage carrying it from town to town. He only had the clothes on his back. The way was provided for him and he had to trust and believe by Faith that was true. God said move, YOU MOVE. Some of us can't do that because we worried about these temporary items we have started to find joy in but you not always going to be a size 4,6 8, or 9 nor can you pack up your house everytime God commands something of you. You have to be prepared to walk by Faith and trust that the way will be provided for you when you walking in obedience.
When your walking by Faith your believing in who God is as The Creator, Alpha & Omega, and Beginning & the End.
So whatever it is God needs of you to do. DO it. Don't ask. Trust. Walk by Faith. Believe.
Deuteronomy 7:9 (Whole Chapter)
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
As I learned in church recently, a delay is not a denial..
Hab.2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Tarry: To delay or be late in going, coming, or doing
Be Blessed In the Lord, as you walk closer to him... Let your ways be pleasing in his sight and know that he is with you always! He will supply all your needs.

Your worthy of MUCH more... So Why settle?
Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...
So your waiting for Mr. Right to find you, come, and sweep you off your feet, for the music to play as you go running on the beach or a field to each other. Magical right? Too bad life is not a pre-scripted movie. You do not know the next scene and that he is not Mr. Right. The emotions are not played out but their real. Your a real person with real feelings and it is not always a happy ending. Especially, when your doing it your way or on your own and when you settle for Mr. Right Now, Mr. Convenient, or Mr. A-Okay. Are you not worth the wait? Can you not wait for God to Bless you with his connection? Yes, you can!
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;...
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;...
Your an amazing person. You have accomplished amazing things with God. Your independent, compassionate, and a blessing in the making. You are worth the best. So, why you keep settling for less? Yes, your waiting. Yes, it seems long and you can become impatient but you have come too far to just BE with someone just to past the time away. There is so much more you could be doing with your time and emotions. Waiting isn't easy especially when your young and it can be even harder as you get older. God blesses those that wait.
Psalm 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Wait and let God connect you to your other half. Yes, society is always in your face telling you, "Your getting older, Life is passing you by, Your too picky, No one is perfect." Does that mean you have to lower your standards, ethnics, morals, and desires for someone who doesn't have the same faith as you? Noooooo.. God is the one who set the standards within you. He made you that way. He made you with high hopes, dreams, desires,and goals. He gave you ambitions. He enlarged your territory and built your faith in him. Only God can bring them down or take them away. Only you can let them go.
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The virtuous woman...Her Price...
You can't buy her with material things. Though she looks like a million bucks. She loves the Lord with her whole heart. Yes, she walks as a queen but has a heart of a servant. She strides with confidence and smiles with assurance. She dresses herself with a royalty appeal. Her hands are blessed. Anyone that knows her praises her character and personality. She is a blessing to her neighbors and friends. Her qualities are endless. She cooks, cleans, manages her house, has her own business, and makes her own money. If your not exhibiting these qualities, you better start to work on it now, because this is a lifestyle for her. Become that rare jewel that is worthy of the best that God has to offer.
In addition, fear is also a cause for settling. Fear of being alone. Fear of living alone. Fear of eating alone. Fear of never being loved or being in love. Fear, is always trying to remove your FAITH, trying to paralysis you and trap you but your bigger than that! God is bigger than that and stronger.Your worthy of much more.
Passage 1 John 4:4:
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Next you start to think, maybe its me, maybe I am the problem. Well if your exhibiting Godly character and substance then your not the problem. Let God prepare you for your spouse. It is in his word. Take your time to read the Proverbs 31 Woman. She is the example of a great leading lady.
Be patient as you wait. Be productive as you wait. Pray as you wait. Waiting isn't just sitting at the corner everyday looking for him to drop out the sky. You should prepare for him. How? By already walking and talking as a wife with Christ. Get involve in your local church and ministry. Start reading your Bible and join church organizations for women. Stop sitting there making yourself miserable. Start making friends and spending time with them doing something positive in Godly fun.
Never allow someone to use you, mistreat you, walk over you and lie to you. You are bigger, greater, and smarter than that. You know someone is no good for you yet you keep answering the calls, texts, emails, and facebook messages. Why are you checking their facebook to see if they have moved on? Come on now. Your bigger than that. Your worthy of much more.
Proverbs 18:22:
22Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
A good thing. Let's define Good...
morally excellent; virtuous; righteous;
of high quality; excellent; honorable or worthy; in good standing;
reliable; dependable; financially sound or safe; not spoiled or tainted
cheerful; optimistic; skillfully or expertly done; favorably regarded;
profit or advantage; worth; benefit:
moral righteousness; virtue
So if your not a GOOD thing or a GOD thing, which I like to use, than how can you expect God to give you someone your not even worthy of having?
Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
Interesting...
Are you honorable to have? Are you skillfully done in your apparel, make-up, and image? Can you be well displayed as a crown or should you be hidden like decayed bones?
And when people see you do they ever have anything good to say about you. Are you a good thing to have or not? Does God speak highly of you? Well you should make sure he does since he is the one doing the divine connections. I know there are many who believe that one person can't be meant for one person but I look at Adam and Eve. I only know Adam and Eve.
Genesis 2:18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Remember when God is part of the connection the marriage is like a braid that no man can depart because God is in the middle of the connection. It is strong and solid. No, I am not saying there are perfect marriage because there are no perfect people but with God every shower won't be a storm and every whirl wind will be a breeze. Only if God is the source and connection in the marriage.
You are worthy of much more. You are worthy! Worthy!

Silent Killer: Emotional Abuse
What is Emotional Abuse?
- any behavior that is designed to control and subjugate another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, intimidation, guilt, and manipulation that wears away at the victim's self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept.
- anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as repeated disapproval or even the refusal to ever be pleased.
With constant berating and belittling, by intimidation, or under the guise of "guidance," "teaching", or "advice," that results in the person clinging to the abuser because they do not want to be alone.
For more information: http://eqi.org/eabuse1.htm#What%20is%20Emotional%20Abuse?
Many women today are dealing with emotional abuse. Surprised? I am too. Just think you can go to work or school everyday. You would enjoy lunch with a co-worker or school mate, maybe even do some small talk here and there. Then one day you find out this strong, independent, outgoing, and caring woman is being abused by her mate. Well, you may be going through this right now and not even know it.
A girl in one of my classes got up and spoke about her abuse. She gave her testimony of being in this abusive relationship. It just shocked me. I had been sitting by her every class and I didn't know. Now she is not in this relationship now but she was giving her speech in class. Though I did not know her before, I was so proud of her for USING HER VOICE! No longer was she keeping silent about her experience. She spoke. He could not stop her from speaking up anymore. She smiled. The smile he tried to take away from her. She got it back. She laughs and tells jokes. He did not have her joy. His abuse was no longer taking her life. She has reclaimed her voice. Because of her voice another girl in my class heard. She spoke about her current abuse. She gave her the courage to speak up. Many people deny and pretend but it is time to stop and stand.
Now I know many of us would say this would never happen to me but it could be happening to you right now! Let me encourage you to speak up about your situation. We care about you. You care about yourself, right? Then you should not stand for your abuse anymore. Arrive..You are BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, TRUE, and NATURALLY YOU! You are BIGGER than you appear. You are STRONGER than you seem. For example you have been dealing with a abuse for so long and your still kicking!
The task ahead of you, is never as great as the power behind you.
Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
- Ephesians 6:10
If there is anyone dealing with emotional abuse. Speak. Use your voice. Your God given Voice! I am here and I am sure there are many people around you who do care.
I know it will be difficult but you need your freedom back! You will no longer be imprisoned by someone else.
Use your voice. Speak UP!
