Some people have a difficult time in managing their depression. Sometimes, their depression and fears can get best of them. As a result, here is a short list of techniques that a woman can use to help manage her depression.

One of the ways to manage your depression is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make your fearful or depressed, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objecti

Some of us take a lot of pride in who we are, the title we have, the position we are in, the amount of money we have blah blah blah. We love to make ourselves seem more important than everyone else. But in Romans 12:3-8 Yahweh, through the writing of  Paul is teaching us two key things.

1. The first is found in verses 3 - 5. Think highly of yourself, but not too high.
2. Use the gifts Yah gave you, found in verse 6-8

OK let's break this down starting with Romans 12:3 - 5. We are talking about humi

Let me first start off by saying that, every trial that you go through is not about you! Yes, you are the one going through it. Yes, you are the one it is affecting! Yes, it hurts like hell! Yet, it’s still not about you! There is a group of people that are assigned to you. The reason they are assigned to you is because they need help, guidance and prayer as they go through the same fire!

Yahweh made no mistake strengthening you to go through! He knew you would make it through

Do These Exact 3 Things.

1. Pray - make your request known unto God. No request is too big or too small.  Remember he owns everything! (Hebrews 13:15)
2. Serve - while you are waiting for your breakthrough don’t forget to continue to serve Yahweh! In and out of season! (2 Timothy 4:2)
3. Prepare - for what you prayed for. So that when you get it, you will have the wisdom to maintain it! (Proverbs 4:7)

"Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and HE shall strengthen your heart. Wait for the Lord."

I love this scripture! It reminds me that God knows what’s best for me. Too many times we have our own agenda, plans, list etc... When to get married, have kids, buy a house, what career we want, life in general. Yet we fail to acknowledge the one who made us. Who know us entirely? From the hair on our h

Make sure that you live your words with clarity!  So many people currently are saying one thing and living another! Time is too precious to waste. Love yourself enough to live with integrity of action. Our lives are the testament that will be held against us. How did we live the life that was given to us by The Highest God? I pray that you seek His heart and go forth and live 2 Chronicles 7:14. So that the rest of your life can be glorious!

I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!

Although I am sure there are more, here are 34 things the LORD showed me that a Righteous Woman (a righteous bride, a daughter of Yahweh, the King of kings) does:

1. Refreshes others by sharing the goodness of God with them in the way she lives, what she says, and what she does and doesn’t do, according to His Word 

2. Reveals the Truth to others--first by living it, then by speaking it or other means, as the LORD leads

3. Rejects falsehood

4. Returns to the LORD and helps others to do so

Too many times we look at the negative before the positive. Why is that? Have we been conditioned by hurt and pain that its our first reaction? Does it come from being around negative people who always point out the obvious? There must be a better way! As a matter of fact, there is!

We as women of God, created to birth, nourish, and love mankind; have always been prepared for better or worse. I know it can be hard at times. Especially when it seems like everything is falling o

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 YAHWEH sees you a classic that cannot be duplicated. You may know the name as a hustler

Never be to arrogant that you are not able to admit when you are wrong and apologize! Whew! I said what I said! Being a family member, leader, boss does not entitle you to walk around in error without repentance! It just doesn’t work like that! IT will cause you to live a miserable and lonely life. Yes, there will be times you will have to stand your ground of right. Should that right become wrong; admit that you were wrong! Strive not to repeat the same offense. Strive for better communicatio

Dear Child of Mine,

              I want to start by saying you are an amazing human being! I never would have thought 

that I could raise such an inspiring person! From your laugh to your heart felt cry. You have 

managed to captivate my entire your heart! Everyday that I wake up I think of how I can improve myself,  that you may be great! I want to apologize for the times I yelled, went overboard or just didn’t see your  side of a situation. For when it seemed that I didn’t understand. I nev

Girlfriend! Let’s talk about this new you. Are you ready? Let’s go! Now you say that this is your year to start your business, get fit, live your best life! That’s what you say. Well all that is good and fine; what about your mindset. Yeah, your mind! You have a goal set, but you haven’t renewed your mind. YAWEH says that we are to renew our mind and become a new creature. 

Reason being is because old mind sets can’t produce a new outcome! So, while you are being brand

Deuteronomy 20:4 “…for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”

When the odds were against you! When that divorce tore your heart out! That Dr. who said you wouldn’t live to see another Christmas! When your father didn’t acknowledge the love, he has for you! When that child or your mother died! Whew child; you made it!!!

YAWEH gave you the strength to overcome! I know it was hard and unexpected. Life has a way
