Promote Women Within

Father, Thank You we are lifting up those close to us with our words; instead of tearing them down! Words are powerful; whereas, they can ignite conflict or compliment and value the good in others! God, you alone, focus on “good” in ALL of us and know our hearts, so that all darkness will be exposed by Your light! Thank You! Your endless love will transform anyone; so I pray that all of us who are tempted to lash out at a loved one, a friend, a co-worker, in anger, to look up to you in prayer so the right words are spoken to keep peace, unity and sobriety in the environment. In the midst of storms, if we look to the left or to the right (seeking others for advice) we will be consumed by the waves (The conflict will spiral out of control)! It's so import to be prayerful in ALL situations and let “You” God handle them! “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I ...

Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece. An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends. Wickedness loves company—and leads others into sin. (Proverbs 16:27-29 TLB) I can honestly say, I have never looked forward to retirement or being out of “something to do”! The past two years of being unemployed, has been an eye opener! To view so many (not all) people who have labored hard physically, mentally, and emotionally and then retire do “nothing”! There are a few who do some things; but for most, their definition of retiring is to do whatever they want! What transpires is an unhealthy lifestyle; which is doing too much of one thing, and not enough of another -  out of balance!   I'm not speaking for all, but again, many live a routine life, some over eat, some have developed chronic illness, causing them to reside in assisted living facilities, and some have the...

You do not have to spend a fortune on your children to keep them happy and entertained! Yes I am a Mother and Grandmother and I have witnessed parents today who invest in things that truly do not hold their value, the child's interest very long; and severs the parent/child relationship. Purchasing expensive toys does not prove anything except raising a child who will soon become selfish, demanding and self-centered. Your child will not fall apart if you put your foot down and tell them "no"; and neither will you! He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. (Proverbs 13:24 NKJV) There are numerous things you can do at home with your child that is creative and fun. Children love a challenge and one of the most practical things to do at home (if space allows) is to set up a card table with a puzzle that is beyond their age level. When they come to you and say they are bored, steer them towards the puzzle and watch a very deter...

“You only have I known   of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you   for all your iniquities. 3  “Do two walk together,      unless they have agreed to meet? (Amos 3:2-3 ESV) I do not own the rights to this image When any two are in agreement with anything; it can be anywhere from cleaning the kitchen, to paying the bills, you will succeed in it.  So many relationships, even though this is speaking of our relationship with God and the sin between us that blocks His blessings, it does relate to marriage relationships on earth of those who cannot agree on anything, then nothing and the relationship will not work! Come to agreement on paying bills, disciplining the children, doing the laundry. It’s not up to one to sit back and dictate while the other one carries the burden of doing it all alone; but to work together and do it in agreement! For example: “If laundry will be your duty, the dishes will be mine”! ...

Is it really that much easier to give to your child all their wants just to keep the peace? Ask yourself this question again when your child is 38 years old and you are still giving! Do you have peace; are they learning to be independent of you and dependent on God? I can tell you the answer will be a resound, “NO”! Very few children, who are constantly handed things, develop the mentality that everyone no matter, friend, enemy, or family need to continue this pattern of giving to them! And when things do not go their way, they do what they have always done as a two year old – they throw a temper tantrum! Why not, it’s always worked as child and guess what; it works as an adult ~ just with more destruction of self and others! I personally did not hand my children everything they thought the wanted, nor did I allow a negative response from them when they did not get it! I’ve experienced so many Mothers say, “I just gave in just so they would shut up”! Giving in is not an o...

If you grew up poor, hungry, controlled, abused, with hatred, or rejected, we all transition physically; because your body grows from a child to an adult – but very few  make the transition in the mind! It cannot be done in your own strength unless you surrender your thoughts and hearts to Jesus and let Him complete you in mind, body and spirit!    "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect". (Romans 12:2 NLT) To keep from being deceived in your thoughts by Satan, read your bible daily to give your mind the proper nutrition it needs and  stay deeply rooted in Love!                                                               ...
