I’d like to honor the single Christian woman who is working late tonight instead of being taken out to dinner. (But, please keep reading even if that’s not you. If you’ve ever been disappointed with God, I hope this encourages you, too.)
A 38-year-old, single Christian friend of mine told me recently that she got a promotion. The only problem, she said, is that she’d rather be a stay-at-home mom, “packing school lunches.”
This isn’t someone who’s simply dreaming about th

SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESSFUL WOMEN
1. In everything you do, always put GOD first.
Many of us have a habit of putting other people first or putting ourselves before anyone or anything. This is what we are taught to do, but it is incorrect and it is damaging. Eloihim must always come first. Everything you do, whether at home or the workplace you must do for him. He comes before your spouse, your boss, your children, your customers. If you put GOD first, all
The Black woman in America is in bondage and we allow Satan to keep her that way. African Americans will not rise until the Black woman is brought back to life. After the Civil War the chains came off but today we still are not free. No our wrist and ankles are not chained but our minds are. To the men reading this, we must learn to show our women, our sisters, our mothers the proper respect. God created man to be the stewards over all creation. To show disrespect to the gift
LAS VEGAS -- Becky Hammon made history when she became the first female head coach in NBA summer league. Leading the San Antonio Spurs to the Las Vegas Summer League championship just made the experience that much sweeter.
Hammon coached the Spurs to a 93-90 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday in the title game.
"It was a grind," Hammon said. "They've been together for 17 days. They really started to jell the last two or three games. They listened, and they played really hard for me. I
Articles about privileged white women trying to “have it all” ignore the fact that women of color have been balancing life and work out of necessity.
The only thing I have grown to hate more than the term “having it all” is the debate about whether or not women can have it all. To be clear, I have been roped into this debate myself on more than one occasion, but I usually find myself doing what I just did: critiquing how pointless it is in some ways.
But in a powerful new essay for the Natio
The Proverbs 31:10-31 woman is a model of a woman who lives a godly life. It is practical advice given by a mother to her single son about what to look for in a future wife. Therefore, it is advice for single women as well as married women. I was single for over twenty years of my adult life. Now I am married so I might be able to offer insights for both single and married women.
Most of all, this idyllic icon is a woman who decides to learn and grow in all the areas of her life. She protects
 Women of color are a principal force within the U.S. entrepreneurship community, according to a new report released by the Center for American Progress. The report lays out the current landscape of women of color entrepreneurs, explores the factors in the traditional workplace that push women of color to start their own businesses, and offers recommendations in order to ensure women of color continue to pursue entrepreneurship and thrive. “Empowering women of color to capitalize on their own t |

For the second straight night, Storrs, Conn. is the center of the college basketball world.
One night after the UConn men won their fourth national title, Geno Auriemma’s women’s squad battered and bruised their way to a record ninth program championship with a 79-58 victory over Notre Dame, winning the first-ever championship game between two undefeated programs, men or women. Auriemma, whose team finished 40-0, now has one mo
This PowerPoint slide shows some of the unauthorized hairstyles for women. (Army)
Thousands of soldiers and others have signed a White House petition calling for the president to order the Army to reconsider just-released appearance and grooming regulations they contend are “racially biased” against black women.
The update to Army Regulation 670-1 was published Monday , and among the rules are clarifications for Army-appropriate hairstyles. For example, the Army does not allow twists or multi
The funny thing about stereotypes is that they often have some measure of truth to them. As black women in America, no group has been more stereotyped, or misunderstood, or more devalued than us. As we begin the countdown on the year that was 2013, it is time for us as black women to look toward our future in the New Year that is 2014.
The Black woman in American is dead and we allow Satan to keep her that way. African Americans will not rise until the Black woman is brought back to life. After the Civil War the chains came off but today we still are not free. No our wrist and ankles are not chained but our minds are.

1. Lumen Oil Candle Shadow Projector
If you know a woman who loves candles, she’ll be enchanted by one of these modern-day oil candles that project beautiful tree shadows onto the walls. There are five different types of trees to choose from, all crafted from stainless steel. Turn down the lights, burn one of these candles, and get your romantic evening off to the right start. Each metal tree candle holder comes with two containers of odorless liquid wax that burns cleanly, allowing you to enjo
One of the biggest blessings you can give your husband is to pray for his day.
You might ask, "What's the point, what difference does it make?" It actually makes a lot of difference. Christians daily face a spiritual battle, and the choice is yours whether or not to protect yourself and your husband in prayer.
When you pray for your husband, pray specifically. If the Lord brings a specific issue to your mind during the day, stop and pray about it. Be open to the Spirit's guidance.

Women of color have some unique situations that impact the way they use and apply makeup. Many
African American women actually avoid makeup completely, with lipstick and foundation being the
most popular cosmetics for women of color. Although too much makeup certainly takes away from
the natural exotic beauty of ebony skins, a little enhancement will help all bring out their best
appearance.
This advertisement has appeared in The Charlotte Observer, several times in the last few weeks. I imagine that the editors of the paper think that men will see the ad and show it to their wives and girlfriends so they might consider reshaping their image. Or, perhaps the women who browse through the section will see it and ponder how they might develop a better image – physically and emotionally.
