Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! WOW ~ a new year, new beginnings, possibly new friends, new loves (meaning a hobby, a precious baby, or your first home purchase). With each year we shed the old and bring on the new. Perhaps some of you are shedding bad health and deciding you are going to be healthy; or you have shed living in debt and have become debt free. Whatever you are gaining new in 2015, remember to be Thankful for the old.  The countdown has already begun!

It's All About Me!

Having a baby out of wed-lock can be a load to bear as well as raising them alone! It's not foolish to wait until you get married to have sex. It is foolish to have sex before you get married!

You ask, why should you get married before sex? We are creating a generation of children who do not know how to have healthy relationships as well as instilling in them respect, morals and values. It's also necessary to have two people in a relationship; because one compliments the other in raising children, educating your children, and loving your children so they too can pass on the family values!

There is no such thing as old-fashion parenting! To value your child's well being, education, spiritual growth and health is not a thing of the past. By marrying in the presence of God and man, before anyone has sex and children, it will drastically reduce sexual diseases, illegitimate children, parental neglect, and government assistance.

We make mistakes in life, but choosing to get pregnant is not a way to trap a man. It is selfish, immoral, and speaks insecurity. Your children are not toys we play with, but human beings who, again, need nurturing, educated, loved and to feel secure!

So become a woman of spirituality, strength, wisdom, confidence, and grandeur~ then you will attract the same in a man!

Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power. Food [is intended] for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will finally end [the functions of] both and bring them to nothing. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but [is intended] for the Lord, and the Lord [is intended] for the body [to save, sanctify, and raise it again]...........You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body. I Corinthians 6:12-20 AMP 

1 + 1 = 1

"I really need to get back in school, but I cannot make up my mind in what field I would like to major in. I know who will have the answer ~ my Mom", the husband says. "Oh OK", the wife says. "I will be glad to help you." The husband responds, "Naw, I'll talk to my Mom about it." 

When we value Mom/Dad’s opinions over our wife’s than we devalue our wife; and again if we value Mom/Dad’s opinion over our husband’s than we devalue our husband.  Mom/Dad, best friend, girlfriend, etc. are not who you need to confide in for answers to decisions in your marriage ~ or your personal business.

How about existing burdens that was in place before he/she made the commitment to marry; such as child support, student loans, back taxes, credit card bills, etc. Nope, when you marry, again, you become one, and everything is the responsibility of the husband and wife. So if you feel you do not want to enter into a union that has baggage, then remember to do your homework first. If you truly love this person, then pull your sleeves up and get prepared to move mountains ~ together!

It’s not a deal breaker, it’s your attitude towards it. Don’t get married if you are not mature enough to understand we are not perfect and your spouse will not be perfect either; so focus on the good in them and you won’t notice the bad.

It’s not a game nor is it something we can get in and out of with ease - - - - like changing our clothes. We tell ourselves, “No I don’t like this one, so I’ll get rid of him/her and take the next best thing!” Not a good idea; and it shows your character. Some of us are not aware we have insecurities and some are; whatever the case, commit to something and the first thing to commit to is Jesus Christ. He loves us perfectly and when we seek Him daily for His love; then we are able to love our spouses the way He loves us. It’s a win-win situation.

Marriage is not a thing of the past. We need the husband and wife relationship back into our culture; and our children, who will become the leaders of this world, do too! 

But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave [behind] his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently, And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide. Mark 10:6-9 AMP

WWJD?

How many of you would be willing to turn the TV off for a month and find other ways to be entertained and resourceful?

The assignment will be instead of looking at the TV for your ideal lifestyle, look outside your door. How then can you be entertained and resourceful? Smiling at someone, assisting someone with housework who is recovering from cancer or cooking some meals for a single Mother who just had her second baby are some ways we can do the will of God.

If you are financially blessed, pay a light bill for someone for a month. God is not asking you to judge them or say, “They can get up off their lazy butt and work like I can and pay their own light bill!” He’s asking you to make a difference and be an example instead of small talk that means nothing.

We look to TV for our clothes, relationships, the ideal woman we want to be (comparing ourselves to other women; which is a NO-NO), the financial status we would like to have, and in our minds, the easy way of living. Is there really an easy way of living? Hiccups happen; however, when we are of sound mind and body, we can endure them with ease!

It’s time to STOP, look both ways before crossing the street. We have become so complacent, our brains are not being used to the fullest potential; nor is our ability to do GOOD to others!

How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him. Hebrews 10:38 AMP

I Haven't Forgot!

Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Here Comes Santa Clause ~ I just want to name a few of the songs our children are singing today.

Many of them do not know The Drummer Boy, O Come all Ye Faithful, Silent Night, We Three Kings, or Joy to the World ~ which are songs that speak of Christ~ the words also speak of the Joy the Christians felt at His birth.

We have gone so far in left field, no one appreciates nor have been introduced to these songs about a Savior born to save us from our selfish, destructive ways ~ And we are becoming selfish and destructive - - - whether to our selves or to our country.

All is not lost. It can be restored; just begin with less receiving and more giving, fellowship with neighbors, and daily read the bible. Good should prevail over evil! Christ wasn’t born for naught!

And while they were there, the time came for her delivery, And she gave birth to her Son, her

Firstborn; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn. And in that vicinity there were shepherds living [out under the open sky] in the field, watching [in shifts] over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord flashed and shone all about them, and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people. For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord! And this will be a sign for you [by which you will recognize Him]: you will find [after searching] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of heaven (a heavenly knighthood), praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased [men of goodwill, of His favor]. When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing (saying) that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. Luke 2:6-15 AMP

What Are You Wearing Today?

All of the young teenage ladies who are all but collapsing daily with being in competition (not with other women, men, or even celebrities), but with themselves. Evaluate yourself and yourself only!

Take a long good look at you! Who are you anyway? Ask yourself that question, and if you for one second hesitate, then you don’t know who you truly are. If you answer quickly with I am _________________and fill in your name; that’s not what I am asking. We put on clothes with what the world wears, we put on makeup with what the world wears; we put on images of what the world portrays! But is it really you?

Many of you are probably frustrated by now wondering where I am going with this. Are you clothed in peace? If you work at being peaceful, you will very seldom have conflicts, doubts, chaos, and disruption. Are clothed with Love? The bible says, “Perfect Love cast out fear!” (I John 4:18); which means God loves us perfectly, with no conditions and when we love him also, we know without a doubt, all is well! Are you clothed with self-control? Can you control your anger when bad talk is going around about you? Well can you? 

It's a blessing to look nice and feel good about you, but that is not who you are. Those clothes we put on daily is not who we are, the hair styles we wear are not who we are, the fancy shoes we wear are not who we are. Now that you have a little bit of clarification of what type of answer I am looking for ~ now I will ask it again, “Who are you?”

idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:20-25 NLT

God's Helping Hand!

Father I ask for forgiveness from you and ALL of those whom I have hurt; those I remember and those I don’t. I pray in Jesus name that moving forward, I pray first about EVERYTHING AND for EVERYONE unto You before I decide to take anything into my own hands. I truly need Your helping hand upon me at ALL times, so that I can love the way you love, show compassion the way you show compassion and pray the way you pray in order to keep peace and be peaceful! In Jesus Name I pray! And so it is!

Opposites Attract

This is so important and necessary, so necessary that I’m going to emphasize relationships again; this time more direct!

In an intimate relationship we enter into; our concept is to change the other person to be like us or to our liking.  We don’t like the way they dress, we don’t like the way they eat, we don’t like the way they throw their clothes in the floor, or we are serious and they like to tease and laugh!

When you try to put magnets together that are alike, you can force it all you want and they will not come together; however, if you put magnets together that are opposite, they connect instantly!

I do not own the rights to this photo 

I have also attempted to change someone before God made me realize I had faults too. When we focus on someone else’s faults, it takes the attention off of ourselves ~ or so we think. I know when I am around someone who is constantly degrading someone else; my attention is actually on the person who is pointing the finger more than on the person who the finger is being pointed at.

Rewind the tape! So when did you become perfect? I only know of one perfect being; which is Jesus Christ - - - - - and He surely didn’t go around condemning anyone by saying, “You need to change how you dress; or you need to change your hair cut”. He saw the good in them, showed them compassion; and loved them.

Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. I Corinthians 13:4-5 TLB

Easy Now!

So you got into an argument again with your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, whoever, your significant other is. I know when I was married, it was not enjoyable to always be in conflict ~ unkind words, punches being thrown, holes in the walls, etc. A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.(Proverbs 15:1 NLT)

Constant conflict wears you down, hurts, and also causes health problems as well as being unhealthy. If there is strife and confusion (arguing and hurtful name calling, and back biting) in your home,  you are allowing Satan in your house and he enjoys seeing your home being destroyed. (I also understand that hurting people hurt other people, whereas, we cannot keep holding on to our past and expect to have a prosperous future)

As the Word says the thief comes only to kill, steal, and destroy; and Christ said, I came that you may have life and have it in abundance to the full until it overflows (John 10:10).

I knew I could not live like that anymore, my health began to fail in addition to my other afflictions, I didn't want to come home, nor did I feel it was something I was willing to fight for. If you are experiencing this in your household, PLEASE stop it now and turn to Christ. Seek a bible based church, a spiritual Christian who will encourage you in love, and pick up the bible and begin to turn yourself around first - - - - -if you haven't already started, it's time! Then your spouse will follow!

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Romans 14:17-19 NIV

Stop the Fiery Arrows!

"Did you see that young girl come to church wearing that revealing dress?" Someone said during service. Maybe, just maybe that's all she had to wear. She came to the right place for love, acceptance and a kind word! However, fiery arrows were being shot at her from every angle.  

Many of our young teens and women already feel vulnerable and to come to church; however she is dressed is the first step to her life being transformed!

So the next time you see a young lady dressed (in your eyes as inappropriate) give her a smile and tell her she is beautiful! Then, your light will shine ~ just the way God intended it to!

nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:15,16

How Do You Recycle?

I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with the show “Deals”, hosted by Kat Cosley on Live Well Network (LWN); however, I enjoy watching that show and just last week, I had a revelation of virtuous women. Many of them were married and had anywhere from three to seven children. They were being filmed because these innovative (some were stay at home Moms) Mothers found ways to cut the cost of buying their children’s clothes and toys ~ so the money they did save, went towards food-----which they too had creative ways to save and fill up their freezers and refrigerators!

The website was established after a Mother realized her children were in onesies one minute and jeans and t-shirts the next. As a Mother, I truly can relate to that. Anyway, after viewing the website, I found out that those who want to join can only buy a sack of items twice and after that, they have to post clothes and toys of their own to swap. Another requirement is the toys and clothes being swapped are in very good condition: cleaned, folded and wrapped nicely in brown bags; and no broken or missing pieces on the toys. If any of you are questioning the validity of the website, click on http://www.thredup.com/ to get more information.

“Wow”, I said. This is the 21^st century version of hand me downs ~ with a twist!

Years ago, women had five to ten children in the home and would take good care of the clothes and toys; and hand them down to the younger children or family members who had children in that size. Whereas, they appreciated and valued the good will; so they would properly care for the items; and when finished, they would return them~ and the cycle would go on and on until the clothes became rags.

Everything was of use, because the rags still had life in them; the good pieces were used to make decorative quilts, more clothes, etc; whereas, landfills were few and far between!

Read "Mind Your Business" blog @ http://gdlynsmith3.blogspot.com/ for the Virtuous Woman scripture~ or go to Proverbs 31:10-31 in your bible.

My Treat To Myself!

Alright ladies, how many of you have a gym membership? Well I don’t either! Hahahahahaha! I bet you thought I was going to say, I do, but nope!

Do not give me that excuse as a reason not to exercise and get your luscious body in tip top shape! No, we probably won’t have our high school figure - - --It’ll be better and healthier than high school.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way! If you have cable, you have exercise TV, if you have full milk jugs (well gallon milk jugs are a bit too heavy, so start with something lighter), water bottles, canned food that is anywhere from 1lbs to 2lbs, you have weights.  And the fun part is coming - - -READY? -----------You cannot start an exercise plan without a lifestyle change in your eating! And healthy eating does not have to be bland or boring.

It’s no fun when Thanksgiving is coming up and we know, we will eat out of control and over indulge! So, early Thanksgiving morning, get up, (of course I know many of you will be cooking) shake a leg or two, do some stretches, knee bends and get started! Hey, it’s the beginning of a new you!

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. I Corinthians 6:19-20

It's a Blast!

Start your engines! Get ready! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four three, two, one ~ BLAST OFF! 
OOOPs I meant to say "GO"! Funny huh? Shows how some of us women are NOT into auto racing at all!
Or are we? Check out the humorous comic below:

Things got out of hand while admiring each other and before they knew it, they were NOT going the speed limit, but wwwaaaaaayyyy under it! I got tickled because if you look closely the two police women are on scooters! 

I could not pass this up because in this day and age, we move too fast, too soon, and regret years down the road of our choices in a man or a woman and end up in divorce, resentment against the other sex, and even cynical! In a relationship do not begin, with BLAST OFF, and continue our generation of broken up and brokenness~ begin slow, unless God says otherwise, so you can understand men as well as women are different from each other (opposites attract); and none of us are perfect and will have faults, but who are you to judge?

 As he was speaking, the Jewish leaders and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and placed her out in front of the staring crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. Moses’ law says to kill her. What about it?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, hurl the stones at her until she dies. But only he who never sinned may throw the first!” Then he stooped down again and wrote some more in the dust. And the Jewish leaders slipped away one by one, beginning with the eldest, until only Jesus was left in front of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to her, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”  “No, sir,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” John 8:3-11 TLB

My Story!

This is my story, and by all means, it is not posted for sympathy of any kind; but to demonstrate how God's love and healing has sustained me through it all ~ and it's available to you also. He loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life as well as mine!

I have been divorced for almost 14 years and the first thing I want to say is, "No" I am not bitter about marriage or men. Even though I experienced physical and mental abuse, it is important in any union that is long or unhealthy, to heal physically, spiritually, and mentally. Well that process has taken longer for me than other people; however, I have experienced additional attacks to my body that has prolonged the process! Even though it has been daunting; I would not give up on God ~ or give in to Satan!

I had a severe sun allergy for 18 years ; and yes, I had to live with my blinds closed during the day, wear long sleeves year round, wear hats, carry umbrellas, and pretty much stay in a dark, closed in area during the day so that no sun light would come near me (Now I am Happy to say God healed me, August 30, 2013); my hands were attacked with severe swelling, scaring and blisters even the doctors could not figure out what it was or how to treat it (which they are still healing 4 years later); I was diagnosed with Graves disease (which is an over active or under active thyroid; mine was over active; that if not treated pretty quick, can cause heart failure); in addition to working at Amazon, I quickly found out that I was allergic to the gloves we had to wear ~my body has been under attack!

In between all of these attacks, I had foreclosed on a home, moved to an apartment and got evicted because I was not able to work, and when I was able to work, I was off more than 6 weeks at a time due to an allergic reaction to something that caused me to take a medical leave. All of these mishaps, I’ll call them (the bible calls it long suffering or endurance). I was determined to follow Christ and continue reading the word. Like Job said in verse 13:15 KJV, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him”.

When I thought all was well, I got optic shingles; whereas, the ER doctor said if I would not have come when I did, I would have lost sight in my right eye! I did not know what was going on with me because I would swell up at the drop of a hat, so the day I woke up and my right eye was swollen shut; I immediately called my daughter to please come and take me to the ER, because I could not see. When she came in the door, she said I looked like Quasimodo on the Hunchback of Notre Dame (by the way he had a good heart and cared deeply for others); and said in a semi-frustrated voice (because she was concerned; however, I had so many bouts of swelling it was unbelievable), “What’s wrong with you now? I also felt like someone had hit me upside my head in the middle of the night with a hammer. It was very painful and something I don’t want back~ ever again.

When you see those commercials about shingles and how painful it is~ they are true! I also had a complete hysterectomy that actually went well, but the timing was off, but when is it a good time for surgery? I have been evicted from an apartment, been foreclosed on a home, lived with my brother and sister-in-law once,  been back on my sister four times, my daughter twice and lived in a transitional home once (that was a nightmare also). The eight months I was at the transitional home, it was a poorly kept (well still is) place, and managed very oddly to me. But while my stay there, I was able to meet many women that had their own story to tell and opened my eyes to how many women such as these get no help ~ even at the home we all were staying in was not uplifting nor offered any type of programs to assist these women that needed Godly help! 

While I was there though, I felt as if they were always trying to harm me in some way; and this year in July; they did. I came in on a Wednesday evening from babysitting my granddaughter and when I opened the door, I immediately swelled up! The next day it went down a little, but overnight, my face looked worse than someone in a bad car wreck. On Friday, I called several family members to come and get me and take me to the ER. While I was waiting on someone to come and get me, one woman who assisted the manager looked at me and denied them being in my room and she turned her head snickered; as if to say, that’s what you get! So I went to the ER and had two doctors look at me and they both agreed they put a harmful chemical in the room that caused me to have that immediate reaction so quick. They also kept asking me if I had asthma or any breathing problems. I told them I have never had asthma. Well to make a long story short, it took over three months to heal from that. I had to have the three medicines I was on, filled twice, and an additional three months to feel whole! After I healed on the outside, my insides felt like a war was going on in my arms, ribs, legs, chest – everything! I was in so much pain after the swelling went down; it was hard for me at times to breath or stand up straight (which now makes sense why the doctors kept asking me if I had asthma)~ That experience was the worst I have ever encountered and something I will never forget!  Even as I am writing this, my arms are still scared from the swelling and blisters as well as my hands; which obtained even more damage from it.

I’m not sure if I can say I have been upbeat through it all, but I can say, I would not give up and I’m still determined to win this battle Satan has been trying to get me to surrender to! Through it all, I know that I will be a testimony to many women who are going through the fire ~ and I’m here to tell you, you will come out and not even have the smell of smoke!

It's All Good!

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Amazing Grace! It’s not only a classic spiritual hymn, but truly read the words of this hymn and meditate on its meaning! It’s not easy being unemployed, chronically ill, abused, homeless, and divorced, just to name a few; and I know I have not listed quite a bit of holes or valleys we get into and feel as if we are not going to get out. But think again. Who created all things, including you? Since he created you, don’t you believe he has a way out?

I know when we are in the valley; we continue to follow the path of defeated, broken and downtrodden. Oooooh! I don’t like downtrodden because that means we are given people power instead of trusting God; who is All powerful! So what to do now? Lean entirely on Him who created you and watch how you come up from that pit of defeat!

It’s a path many of us fear, but fear in itself is destructive. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I am a believer and with Christ in me, I am happy to say, life is good, my family is good (Including our brothers and sisters in Christ), and when we seek good, we receive good! 

Father, Thank You!

Father Thank you for healing; and healing me of the sun allergy I have had for 18 years, Thank you for building strength in me daily to continue the journey you have set before me! Thank you for building character in me, so I am able to walk in Your ways! Thank you Father for teaching me patience and determination through all of the trials I have been going through! Thank you Father for giving me understanding of your word; which is sharper than any two edged sword! Thank you Father for showing me compassion, so I can have compassion for others! Thank you Father for your son Jesus Christ, who suffered for my sins! Thank you Father for your Love, so that I can show Love to others! Thank you Father for the plans you already have for me; plans to prosper me and give me hope! Thank you Father for family and friends, who are saved to do the work of the the Kingdom; which is to increase the laborers by our actions of love! Thank you Father for life everlasting! Amen! So be it! 

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. II Corinthians 4:15-16 NIV

Be sincerely Thankful, this Thanksgiving!

It's Not Old School!

Morals (n) - a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do.

Values (n) - a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.

I overheard this conversation five years ago:

Woman 1:  “Hey girl, how are you doing?

Woman 2:  “Hey - - I’m fine girl! I haven’t seen you in years. How many children do you have now”?

Woman 1:  “I have four!

Woman 2:  “All by the same man?

Woman 1: “Girl no! I ain’t that crazy yet”!

Woman 2:  (laughs) “Well it was good talking to you”!

Woman 1:  “You too! I’ll holler at ya later!

Woman 2:  “Alright”! “You take care”!

My first reaction was, “Oh Wow”! What does she mean by, “I ain’t that crazy yet”! I pondered on this for a long time after I heard it and I'm still bothered by it today.

Morals and values do not change and God does not change; yet our worldly behavior is forever changing in a way that continues to reap below average results!

When we choose better, we have better and that’s first seeking Christ Jesus! Many of us women do not seek Him, but seek companions that are themselves lost, and we are breeding a lost generation, that has taken a detour and somehow are not sure how to get back on the righteous path. And notice I said lost; however, they can be found with knowledge of who they are and whose they are ~ which is a child of the Most High! 

We still have the belief that we can do it alone. We are not meant to be alone! The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 NIV

If you have been married, like I have, heal first spiritually, mentally, and physically, so that when God gives you a second chance, you are able to reap the reward!

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'  and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ?  So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:4-6 NIV
