Ambition Cont'd

It's been a week of trials, however, I am determined to overcome them. I had a severe reaction to something (Only God knows what) that myself nor the doctors were able to figure out what caused my face to swell beyong recognition. After I finished the meds, which took about two weeks; I developed a severe sore throat in which I could not even swallow-------after a few home remedies, I thought it would go away, but NOT! A severe cold developed that is now FINALLY going away. At the moment just a few coughs and sniffles remain! :)  It feels good to FEEL GOOD! I tell you the devil is busy, but not lasting!




Whereas, I can still find the good in life, get back on track and be "Ambitious" about promoting women. Several wonderful events will be coming ladies so please check back often. With God's help, there is going to be:

A concert
A benefit event to raise money and encourage viewers and the attendees of the event to donate tampons, pads, or anything that women in Ethiopia could use for their menstruation cycle (more will be posted that will give you information of the event and about the women).
Craft conference that will involve talented women of all ages,  and ethnic backgrounds.

Hope everyone has a Glorious week!

God Bless you all and look forward to sharing with you what God is doing in our ministry!

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

Order Up!

Now serving ~ “Heartaches and bitter pain of defeat topped with a regard to accept a defeat with a constructive attitude”. Competition is tough and you better compete with a winning attitude or accept being defeated with dignity.  We train for a marathon, we practice daily, if you are on a basketball team, gymnastics team, or the swim team; in addition to the conditioning, training and proper diet that is needed to compete. Other competitions that are not physical take intense studying; whereas, you still have to rest so the brain will retain the knowledge you need to “win”. I was a low hurdler in high school; however, when I was asked to compete in the low hurdles, I did not know how to even jump over them properly.  One day during practice, my older brother was at the track practicing shot put and looked over at me struggling with the hurdles. He came over and gave me some much needed advice. He said, “Gwen, you have to hit ‘em low and take only three step...
