# 12 Self-Esteem - the good opinion of oneself

Our actions prove; whether we want to admit it or not, that we do not value ourselves enough to take care of our well-being. As a woman, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and friend, society has taught us to take care of our family and friends first ~ which is definitely true. However, we do not take the time to care for ourselves. 
So we feel the leftovers is what we deserve ~ eat our children's left over food, deprive ourselves of sleep (because we have not learned the skill of organization), or letting our hair become damaged and shabby, because, again, our finances are out of balance.

All women, who get their hair done professionally, feel good about themselves; and being able to look nice straightens your spine, and boosts your attitude about you. But the number one thing we don't do is seek God on a daily basis. eat properly, get at least 8 hours of sleep, and exercise about 3 to 4 times a week. 


Why do you think Jesus would go away to a remote area from the people and His disciples many times? He needed that time to rest, pray, and allow his mind, body and spirit the proper care they too needed to continue His journey God set for Him.

But He Himself withdrew [in retirement] to the wilderness (desert) and prayed. Luke 5:16 AMP

 And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone. Matthew 14:23 AMP 

 And in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a deserted place, and there He prayed. Mark 1:35 AMP

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...

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Appetizer # 3 Knowledge - Cont'd

Over eighteen years ago, God gave me the knowledge to create a flyer ~ and to this day I am not sure how I created it. I know the knowledge came from God because when I went to go to the computer to re-design it instead of scan it in, I could not figure it out! Hmmmm I was a computer tech when it was designed and had the ability to figure out the ins and outs of creating a custom flyer as the one you will see shortly. But today, the knowledge is not there. It's amazing how God gives us the gifts we need at the time it is necessary to do it! ~ I know, I got off the path a little bit ~well back to the flyer and the message God wants us to receive. The message the flyer is portraying is so profound that I became ecstatic when in all of the wonderful creations from years gone by, I found this. OH WOW ~ was my initial reaction and then I ask myself, " What is it God wants me to do with this"? Obviously , there was work to do within me over the eighteen years to understa...
