Our inner beauty is from God. We have His love, compassion, power and heart within us. It's up to us as mighty women of God, to activate these unfailing(DNA) traits. We are virtuous women, our price is far above rubies. You can't put a price on God's daughters. We have the mind of Christ! The joy of the Lord is our strength. Our roar is as the Lion of Judah. We see others and ourselves through the eyes of God. We thank you heavenly Father for graciously giving us our inner be

When did it become an 'every mother for herself' world? Didn't it used to be a sisterhood of women raising their children together once upon a time?


I think often of what that would be like. To have the women in your life around you supporting you and befriending you. And how you would do the same for them. I imagine children playing while their moms sit together giggling about what silly thing their husband said to them this morning. Or how little Johnny got in trouble

1. Faith. She loves Jesus with all of her heart. A Virtuous Woman serves God with all of her heart, mind, and soul. She seeks His will for her life and follows His ways. (Proverbs 31: 26, Proverbs 31: 29 – 31, Matthew 22: 37, John 14: 15, Psalm 119: 15)

2. Marriage. She is a faithful bride. A Virtuous Woman respects her husband. She does him good all the days of her life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet. But first and foremost she is the bride of Christ. You do not need an earthly husband to

There is no one else in the world like you. Some may come close, yet they are not you! You have every right to LIVE YOUR YAHWEH TRUTH! Now, this, that when you accept it; He will prune or purge everything that does not line up with the truth HE placed in you. Be truthful, real with yourself.  Look at the person in that mirror that is in front of you.

Love don’t you ever let another being tell you that your standards are too high! Clearly the are delusional!  
 
Your standards will never be to much for the right people! As a matter of fact the people around you will begin to raise theirs! If you like to get nails and feet done every 2 weeks do it! If you like to dress nice, eat pizza every Friday with a nice glass of Chardonnay, our favorite chic flick; girl  by all means do it!

So, keep believing, trusting and depending of The Highest God who is seated in the 3rd Heaven! Know that it is truly working for your good! It may not look, feel or even smell like it! Just know down in your praying soul that it is!

What is your name? No, not the name that’s on your Birth Certificate. Your God ordained name. It’s that name that you should know. That very name will remind you of who and whose you are. It’s not by accident that you were named that. Know the difference between your name and what people have labeled you as. Oh yeah, there is a huge difference!

Some may have labeled you as damaged goods, yet YAWEH sees you a classic that cannot be duplicated. You may know the name as a hustler,

One day, as I was thinking of some different areas that frustrated me about my life, I came to a startling conclusion. Many of my so-called problems were simply a lack of self-discipline. I made a little list of improvements to incorporate. Maybe something here will help you, too. These may seem
oversimplified, but sometimes I need to get back to simplicity!

1. Regular Bedtime and Wake-up time.

When I work during the week, I am forced to comply with this. But as a teacher

This month lets reflect on the women who made history throughout the world and in our families. We all know a woman that has been a positive influence in our lives. It’s that influence that has caused us to walk in our purpose and destiny. That has motivated us to go above all hell and fire. Now that’s a woman who deserves to be remembered through out history. Look within your circle and give her props. Even if that women are no longer on this side of heaven. Still give her the

"Sisterhood means always having someone to go to and never having to worry because your sisters always have your back. It's knowing that through thick and thin you'll always have someone on your side. it's late night talks and laughter. You never have to worry about anyone judging you because your always accepted for who you are." – Alpha Phi, Akron OH

As I sit a think of a blog to write for Women’s Wednesday, all that comes to mind is for us women of God are to breathe. That’s all I have right now. So many times, we forget that we are human along with being a mother, wife, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, prayer warrior, etc.  We often forget to breathe. We forget to be human and put ourselves first. I am a witness to this. I have & children and I am always a mother first. I forget that I am also human. I deserve to breath

New Creature!

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 I love this scripture! Reason being is because I know that after every storm, trial or misfortune my mind has been renewed and made new. What a glorious thing for Yahweh to give us. That new mindset that you acquire, once applied can take you even further into your destiny. Be renewed and walk in the creation that Yahweh made you to be in Him!

I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!

There are times when people encounter fearful thoughts that can be difficult to manage. For some women, the more they try to get rid of the thoughts, the more difficult they become to manage. As a result, here is a brief list of techniques that a woman can use to help manage her fearful and obsessive thoughts.

The first thing a person must do is not to dwell or focus on the fear provoking thought when it comes. The more a person tries to reason out the thought or focus on th

I know I know! Just breathe in, now let it out. Breathe in and now let it out. I have been there myself. Church, work, kids, spouse and repeat. It gets stressful! Trying to be SUPERWOMAN. Really trying to be a woman at all. I say that because the world wants us to be more than a woman! You know I’m right! Dress like this, talk like that, stay fit, don’t work too much, your not working enough, support your spouse’s dream, work on yours and while you are doing that nurture the
