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...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

It's About Time!

You are given $100; however, you cannot keep it. You have to give it away to a charity or a person. Who would you give it to and why?  This is a question that the students I was substituting for was given to journal. Almost all of the students argued that $100 was not enough money to give to anybody. "Hmmmm", I said. You can do quite a bit with $100  - - - - - -  Our Sunday School class did it with pennies! "How", the students asked. All of the Sunday school classes were informed that it doesn't take much to give to others and if they would begin to bring in pennies, we would be able to give back to those in need. The first year, they gathered enough pennies to provide a Turkey dinner and the roaster to cook it in for a family of five. In addition to providing clothing for a child at Christmas. Each year the giving of pennies grew; whereas, the giving to others in the community grew as well. So if they can do it with pennies, you can do it with $100. Wh...
