Promote Women Within

Ok, we are going to talk about cooking. It's getting colder and many of us enjoy a hot bowl of chili on a cold winter day. I know that there are so many varieties of how all of us cook it. The west cook it different than the east and the south cook it different than the north. Some put beans in there chili, some don't. Some put a variety of pasta ~ and again some don't! Some families have passed down recipes for generations, others watch the cooking channel and think ~ hmmm, I think I'll get that recipe and try it sometime! For those of you who have something different that no one has - - or you think no one else makes it the way you do - - - send me your recipe; I'd like to try it! Then Jesus explained: " My nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me, and from finishing his work. Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields of human souls are ripening all around us...

I had a peaceful walk around the lake this morning! The leaves are slowly changing, squirrels are preparing for their winter hibernation, and the temperature is gradually dropping as well! God is a Master Artist that amazes me daily! Everything he creates is Perfect in his sight, including you! What has God changed from Glory to Glory (little by little) in your life? Taking better care of your health? Increasing your Love walk? Or starting your child's day off with positive words of encouragement! Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. II Corinthians 3:17,18 (KJV)

Will you please try it this way just for once? Why do we resist trying something a different way or basically change? One is fear, the other is I want to be in control of what I am doing?  God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and of a sound mind. II Timothy 1:7. When I was married, my husband kept buying used cars at $1500 or under; however, every one would need major work. In his mind, he was saving money. That is not true if you don't have the money in your savings or checking account to pay cash for the repairs ~ now is it? If you are getting a loan to purchase the car and then another loan for repairs; both loans set you back and most of the time, the cars or trucks did not outlast the loans. This is not a win-win situation! How do you overcome fear?  - You overcome it with faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. So use every piece of God’s armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all ov...

I don’t know about you, but I can’t function in a messy, cluttered home. I am all bent out of shape . I become frustrated, irritable, and disoriented. Many of us can organize something; it’s just what we make up our minds to organize. It’s easy to say, “I’ll take care of it later”! Six months have gone by and that “ I’ll take care of it later ”, is still there. Check out how you respond when you walk into that cluttered room. As soon as you walk into that room, immediately your mood changes and it’s not a good mood either ! Chaos emerges, dissatisfaction emerges, and blame emerges, should I go on? All of this negative energy keeps peace from emerging! Think about it ~ Where did I put those keys? After a short time of searching; you can’t find them. Now you’re mad, frustrated, LATE for wherever it is you are going and the most widely used one, it’s all your fault, you had them last! Does that sound like a peaceful environment? Clean out the clutter and only then can y...

Wow, did anybody else think this week went fast or is it just me? When we do what we enjoy, time goes at the same pace it always does. However, because we are what we call, "Living a life full of passion and joy", we are not fighting against the universe  Swimming up stream daily wears us down, we get tired, but continue to do it. At the end of the week, we are drained, moody and just plain tired. Yep! I know because I have swam upstream in my life many times and when Friday came, I celebrated on the couch with the remote. What a life (big smile)!  How about it, when we do something we enjoy, we don't notice the time and we don't tire easily doing it. In addition, we find creative ways to increase in every area of our life! What is your passion? But whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God, the Creator of all light, and he shines forever without change or shadow. And it was a happy day for him when he gave us our new lives, through the truth of his Word...

Seriously, SERIOUSLY! How did this happen. I was driving down the road…..of course, I was in bumper to bumper traffic; however, I was not speeding. I looked up and saw that I was getting close to the vehicle in front of me, but I kept hitting the breaks, but the car would not stop. Yep, I rear ended her. “Oh man”, I said. We both got out, checked the damage, and since her car did not suffer any damage, she wanted to leave. I convinced her to stay so we could get a police report for insurance reasons. When the police arrived, she was inpatient, but she stayed until he was done questioning her and she took off. Well, it was my turn. Pretty much, the car, a 1998 Mazda Protégé was totaled - - - -new tires and all. I hit her tow hitch that saved her car, but tore mine up. The cost to fix it was more than the estimated value. Yes, I hung my head low! No money, I was off work on medical leave, and no possibility of receiving temporary disability; because I was working for a temp agen...

Why do we think we are super women? I'll tell you what I did this afternoon. My daughter was at her in-laws and  I was waiting for her to come and pick me up and take me to the library. Well an hour had passed, so I decided to walk the two and a half miles ----maybe more ----- with my bag loaded down with two bibles, a folder full of paper, a bottle of water, a library book, and my computer. Doesn't sound like much, but before I got downstairs, my shoulder started to hurt....so what did I do? I ignored it and continued to walk out the door and cross the four lane highway anyway! I didn't get far ~ I remembered that when Jesus told the disciples to go and preach the good news, He said take nothing with you that will slow you down. I laughed to myself and immediately turned around, crossed the highway, and went back the 200 feet to the condo. Go ahead and laugh ~ it's funny! If you could of seen me, I looked like a comedy show! When I reached the second floor of t...
