Most Black women can remember being told at an early age that our hair is our crown and glory. We learn to center our very existence based on what our hair looks like and how others perceive it. Of the many spaces we occupy, our hair represents points of joy and trauma. Nonetheless, throughout history, Black women have never allowed other people’s expectations to define our one-of-a-kind style.

God knows the future and all the hurdles we have to face before getting to our destination. He knows what we have to pass through. He knows the steps we must take to get to our particular destination. This is why it is wise to walk with God. When you are walking with God, you are assured of where you are going.
You know for sure that you will get to your destination because God leads you. The Bible confirms this in Jeremiah chapter 29:11, which says,

So this devotion was birthed out of honesty. This past week, for me, I found myself in a mental space. That was just I don't know how else to put it but overloaded. Okay, so just with everything going on, everything being exposed, I was doing a ton of research, all good things to be researched. You know, doing your research, being informed, asking questions. All of those things are amazing. However, I felt like I had pieces of my mind and this topic and this topic and this one and this
ost successful women create a set of goals that they strive to reach, which helps them stay on track as they work toward success. Without setting goals and applying effort to long-term improvement, you won't get very far even if you do work hard.
This is especially true if you're trying to balance maintaining a busy household with helping your young business flourish. Here are some tips that may be helpful to women entrepreneurs while setting goals for themselves and their businesses.

Now it would not be far-fetched if I said every woman wants to be beautiful or at the very least she wants to feel beautiful. Every woman appreciates attention and compliments. Ladies, we put so much time and effort into fixing our hair getting the right shade of makeup. Finding the perfect outfit that doesn't make us look too fat or doesn't scream I'm trying too hard. Yes, all women want to be beautiful.
All women want to feel beautiful, but here's the thing beauty isn't found at a cosmetics
A lot of people often wonder how women should be and how they should behave especially as wives. Throughout the cause of history, the role of women has been seen and debated through different lens. And most of these views are on the extreme that it puts up women daily for criticism. Thankfully though, we have a manual called the Word of God that we can use to know God’s own standard. In today’s topic, we’d be talking on the “Proverbs 31 woman”. I pray that the eyes of your understanding become e
Womanhood is one of the very interesting things about life that many people have failed to comprehend. In simple terms, womanhood is the state or condition of being a woman. A woman is an adult female human. Prior to this stage of growth, a woman is first referred to as a girl and then a lady. At the point of being referred to as a woman, the female entity must have attained maturity and be able to carry out the necessary responsibilities of being a woman. Many people in today’s society do not c
Throughout 2006 I decided to do a study on Proverbs 31 via a blog. It was partly an exercise to practice using the software and I'd always wanted to explore this book in greater details so combining the two seemed an ideal way to do it. I had no idea that the blog would end up being a very popular one which still draws in thousands of visitors every month a year after I began writing it.
During the course of doing this study it became clear to me that the Proverbs 31 Woman
How often have you heard the term “godly woman” and what does it really mean to be a godly woman? It might sound very cliche or idealistic, but we can better understand this concept of a godly woman with the help of scripture, because only scripture can define a godly woman. Not an instagram post, not a talk, show or movie, but scripture. Scripture defines a godly woman. We have to look at what the bible says. We need to specifically look at and know what god's purpose was when he created woman,
Aging of the skin is a natural process by which the collagen and elastin, that keep our skin looking firm and youthful, begin to decline, this results in wrinkles. Cell production and cell quality also diminish over time resulting in wrinkles. These factors unfortunately are out of our control, though diet and supplements can slow down the process, it won’t stop it.
The influences that are within our control are largely environmental such as pollution (eg; smoking) and sun damage. Here are 20
“There is no jewel in the world so valuable as a chaste and virtuous woman.”
– MIGUEL DE CERVANTES
Proverbs 12:4: “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”
Matthew Poole’s Commentary on Proverbs 12:4:
“A crown; a singular ornament and matter of his glorying and joy.
That maketh ashamed; that by her folly or wickedness bringeth shame to herself and to her husband. As rottenness in his bones; loathsome, and vexatious, and pernicio

Proverbs 12:4: “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”
Pulpit Commentary on Proverbs 12:4: “She that maketh ashamed; “that doeth shamefully” (Proverbs 10:5; Proverbs 19:26); one who is a terrible contrast to the woman of strong character – weak, indolent, immodest, wasteful. Is as rottenness in
What does the beginning of your day look like? How do you spend the first 30 to 90 minutes of your morning?
Those first things you do in the morning set your tone for the day. A morning routine can set you up to feel more productive, empowered, and even accomplished.
Research shows that habits, like morning rituals, set you up for success.
Adding the right rituals to your morning routine can start a domino effect of achievement. Instead of reacting to things that happen to you throughout t
“It should come as no huge surprise that the secular world is confused and off-base about the identity and calling of women. But what I find distressing is the extent to which (this) has taken hold even within the evangelical world. We see the fruit of that revolution as prominent Christian speakers, authors, and leaders promote an agenda, whether subtly or overtly, that encourages women to define and discover their worth in the workplace, in society, or at church, while minimizing (or even
