identity.

For this generation of women who have been through the hardships of rejection, displacement, insecurity, the absolute cruelty and burden to strive for perfection our society has placed upon them; for those who are searching for their worth in another man, or in any other fulfillment for that matter, today is for you.


The day will soon come when this generation will realize their true worth. They will know their worth. WE will know it. I believe we are on the cusp of a realization that our fulfillment dwells in one place, our answers come from one source, and His name is Yahweh. His love for us is beginning to be understood. His need for our affections is why we were made. To think that the creator Himself wants our love. Its quite humbling. If we only KNEW how important we are to Him. He made us to live in a freedom, in a confidence, in a liberty that would set this generation free from so much bondage by just ONE PURE touch of His love, a heavenly encounter with Him. Without pretense. Just to give Him the affections He is due!!! My oh my! He went to the cross for the sins we swim around in every day, yet if we would take on His mentality and realize, "It IS FINISHED!" We would be liberated once and for all. All of us have divine appointments. Divine destiny. We have divine dates set by our Maker for our liberation to occur. Let today be a day when you cry out in humility, and seek HIS FACE!!! There are no limits with God. Get Him out of the box, out of your world and step into His!
Freedom, in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ.


Women, if only we would look into the mirror and gaze into the eyes of the created being that Yahweh designed. Get out of this mindset that what you see around you with your eyes is what you should be. Or what you have been told you should be or what you lack is what you must compensate for. Enough with the eating disorders, enough with the self-mutilation, enough with the obsessive workouts, dieting, perfecting of appearance all in seeking approval of others. You were made for a purpose on purpose. Seek God for your destiny in life. Know that you might now look like Mrs. Pretty Princess(who really wants to be), but you can know your worth in Jesus' eyes if you would just behold Him, know Him, seek Him, ask Him. Just ask. How do you see me Jesus? I can guarantee you will get an answer from heaven. 


When we die, we don't take our mortal bodies with us. And heaven sure isn't wrapped up in what the latest fashion trend is, and if you've put on a few pounds in the tummy area. What do we take? Our Spirit. So it would seem that we would seek to put our all into that lifestyle, wouldn't it? Holy Spirit, you are the worthy one, make us Holy like you are holy!


Any man that is worthy of your affections here on this earth is going to notice the you inside of you. Please, don't fall for the perfection lie. You are beautiful the way you are. Never compromise, never settle, never feel insignificant because you do not have a significant other. You are on the right track when you've felt  at peace in Him.


I pray this finds you at the right moment in the right time, and that it blesses you in the name of Jesus, whatever your circumstance.

Beautiful Exhange

My sister got married two weekends ago. Through the rush of planning the parties, her planning the wedding, the wedding "stress", I stood up with her bridesmaid, matron-of-honor, and proudly as her maid-of honor, to witness her join together with Josh Weichman in Holy Matromony (honestly, its what it is so thats what I will call it) and watched my beautiful sister BEAM as a bride coming down the isle. My feelings were unexplainable. The stress was lifted from us all, and floods of memories came back to me and I watched her grow up before my eyes.
I am enamored by love. It fasinates me. I can only say that I am learning of Gods love for us more day by day and how to be in covenant with Him. His love is amazing, His love is ravishing, His love is pure, His love is perfect, His love has settled me. But-to surrender to another person and share a life with them! To know they are flawed and will in fact hurt you and cause internal pain from time to time-knowing this and yielding to the promise of the rest of your days with this person-its the complete picture of trust. To see a person for who they truly are is love. To know a person for who God has called them to be is love, and loyalty in its truest, purest form. Its quite beautiful. Its a beautiful exchange.


" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 14 4-8a


I don't allow divorce to enter into my mind anymore. In fact, if I had a dictionary, I'd rip out the word.  Sharing life. Doing life together. To have a best friend for the rest of your days on this earth. We were born to share. We were born to love!!!


If given the chance to have a spouse, Id take it. But I'm given the chance to love every single day of my life. What a beautiful thing. I yield to that. Its taken me a very long time, but I'm beginning to understand the very simplicity of what Jesus did...EVERYTHING.


So, as I finish my daily blog, I leave you with this challenge...let Him love thru you today. Whether it be a stranger, a friend, your spouse, a family member, your boss, anyone He puts in your path. His love is far more powerful that anything we could ever comprehend in our minds. Its the answer your looking for today.
