Wise Woman ♥

A wise woman builds her home,
      but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14:1


       How imperative it is for all women to meditate upon this verse and seek God’s counsel, wisdom and grace. I must admit I was once a foolish woman who torn my house, my husband down; in doing so, also tears my children down.
Let me get straight to the point the truth is he married a sinner and so did I. I will not try to justify my actions just know that we were both in the wrong we collided quickly in the beginning of our marriage. But God’s Sovereignty, Infinite Grace and Mercy has held us through.
I lacked disciplined and self-control in my emotions and thoughts. My mind and emotions were a rollercoaster ride, I entered my marriage with so many unrealistic expectations, I looked to my husband to fill the gaps, the void, I looked to him to make me whole and complete. I am complete and made whole in God alone.
God and His Gracious ways, knew what it would take to get me to my knees. Therefore, I rejoice in Christ my Savior, so thankful for the purification process. I had to get rid of a lot of ugly stuff in me, garbage, baggage, anger, bitterness, un-forgiveness, resentment, even hatefulness. (That was a lot of ugly stuff). Praise God for His Holy True Word and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Through faithfully reading His Precious Word, Looking to the cross, crying out to God through Prayer and Fasting. Oh Praise God, what a Glorious change in me it has been! I’m Free! I’m Free!
Now by the Power of God I love my husband more than I could have ever imagined, I speak no words to harm my Precious Strong Husband, I speak words that edify him, praise him, thank him for the good he is doing, thanking him for his leadership, complimenting him daily and showing him infinite grace and mercy that God has been so kind to show me. Treating my dear husband with Royal Respect, becoming his #1 fan, his own personal cheerleader with my Hope, Confidence and Trust in God.
Heavenly Father,
 your Heavenly design for marriage is perfect. With God all things are possible.
May my actions and my words Glorify and Honor You O Lord.

New Creation

Galatians 2:19-20 NIV
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Thank you Lord for your Grace.. .
              It’s not about observing the law, it’s about what you hear. I was saved by God’s Grace by hearing His Holy, True Word. By hearing the Word of God and I believed what I heard. I Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that He died for all of our sins. On that third day God raised Him from the dead and He sits at the right hand of God. I believe in God’s Holy Word. I believe that everything in the Bible is true and scripture is God Breath.----> Consider Abraham “he believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness”. Galatians 3:6, Genesis 15:6

Thankful in the Lord
Joyful in the Lord
Grateful in the Lord
How Great is our God!
Loving the Love of my Life!
All I can say is Yes Lord!
I am so thankful, that I am no longer what I was
---> I’m a new Creation in Christ Jesus :)

Monday Moments... Prayer

{1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 } Rejoice always,  pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

"Pray without ceasing."
Pray for the people I hear about on the news; for our nation and leaders; ministries seeking to proclaim Christ; for unnamed children on a playground or school bus; for God's grace, wisdom, courage, comfort, provision, and protection for anyone HE brings to mind; cast almost every thought up to the Father in prayer; breathe in the Word, exhale in prayer. Pray like breathing. The Greatest Gift that You can Give is the Gift of Prayer.

Monday Moments... Faith: {Christmas Blessing}


{Luke 1: 27-34}
…The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
 
…The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. {1 Luke 1:35}

{Luke 1:37} For Nothing is impossible with God.

Mary Answered. “I am the Lord’s servant,” “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her. {Luke 1:38}

{Luke 1:45} “Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

 Mary’s Song: {Luke 1:46-55}
And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers.”
       I love to read the accounts of these Virtuous, Reverent, Women in the Bible. The Lord tells us not to just be hearers of the word but to be doer’s of the Word. We have so many examples of Women with Great Faith. God commends these Women. Great is their Strength because they put their Hope and Trust in God. These verses above I can Stand on and Trust God in all things and every area of my life. “Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”
{Luke 1:45 NIV}
