One Woman of Virtue

The title of this blog post is a little misleading I must admit because it has nothing to do with Intimacy, It has more to do with our mentality and spirituality. In other words,   what do we have our hearts and minds set on? Does it glorify God?  In my case, the answer was sometimes yes and sometimes no. I recognized what was happening, so I took a break from blogging and writing for a while during a pivotal moment in my life. As I went through the eye of my own storm, I realized how hard this walk really is when things don't go as planned, and how many times  I found myself being distracted from my purpose. I started Questioning every decision I made concerning my relationship with God and everything He has already made clear I need to do. I was getting complacent in my walk and some days when the trials got the best of me, not caring at all. Life dealt me some pretty hard blows that I didn't handle very well.  I didn't feel like praying. I was barely spending any time wi

Have you ever gotten into a situation that didn’t go anything like you planned? The first thought is to feel frustrated, defeated and hopeless.   Your mind begins to create situations that haven’t even happened making you feel like you’re stuck. Next, you lose motivation to be proactive in changing your unfavorable circumstances.   You may even begin to succumb to feelings of sadness and depression. That’s a spirit that you must free yourself of.   How do we do that? Through prayer and constant communication with God no matter how you bad you think things are and making a choice not to let our circumstances govern our lives. Decide to win and that with God you will NEVER lose . Understand that feeling defeated is a MINDSET and a crafty trick of the enemy.  There is always a way to make things better and God will order your steps if you ask and allow Him to.   In order t o do this we must exercise our faith which is a little difficult when there seems to be no light at the end of the

I used to get so stressed out when I was younger because I felt like I had to keep up with everyone else. It got worse after I became a single mom and my marriage failed because I worked extra hard to live a life that showed prosperity and success. Here is the problem, when we care too much about what people think of us instead of God,  making success our idol. What motivates us to do the things we do?  Providing for our families yes and that is a great motivator. However, it becomes an issue  if that subtle feeling of inadequacy creeps in when we see someone else more successful than we feel we are and begin to wonder "what are they doing?"  I need to do better than them, I need to do it BIG. Then we start to compare our lives to other people and the motivation shifts from pleasing God and providing for our families to showing out for the masses.  When we do achieve that level of success we prayed for, we begin to get puffed up and thinking more highly of ourselves than othe

Coming Fall 2017 How many women out there can relate to feeling like you are at war in your heart?  In the process you find yourself fighting what the Holy Spirit is leading you to do or not to do. You find yourself entertaining a relationship with that ungodly man, going places you have no business going. Have you found yourself wounded from going down paths the Lord told you not to?  I have been there many times. It's time to break that cycle and start hearing God's voice. Let that internal war come to an end by allowing God to intervene and heal you.  Too many times we are taking matters into our own hands because we doubt God as if He can't fix our situations. We need to stop blocking our blessings and start trusting God.  I am so excited to share the New title and first chapter of my book with you! The book is now titled "The War Within Her." If you like it please post a review on my facebook page and let me know what you think. I write from the heart be

 Have you seen my new book teaser?  If not click on the video here and enjoy. I'm currently over 100 pages in and it feels like God is speaking to my heart as I'm writing.  I mean He is just pouring into me right now and I love it. When I think about how many woman are going to be set free from bondage and receive breakthroughs that are going to shame the devil it makes me want to throw my laptop and start shouting! Well, maybe not throw my laptop but you know where I'm going with this, I am super excited.  I'm talking about chains being broken all over the world! I just came back from Los Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and the beauty of that place just reminded me of how great and awesome God is and also how amazingly beautiful Heaven is going to be. God says it has not entered into man's imagination what He has planned for us in the Kingdom. We are children of a King so it's time for us to come out of bondage and become the royalty that we are. I'm preparing to r

Many times I have found myself in situations that I had no idea what to do to get out of them. It took me the majority of my young adult life to figure out how to hear God's voice. I was just winging it doing what I "thought" was right and not beseeching God about what HE wanted me to do. As a result, I ended up in the wrong marriage, a string of bad relationships after my divorce, dead end jobs with no purpose etc. and went for years without hearing His voice. My prayer life was very weak and I was just living without a purpose. As I matured and got tired of constantly being hurt, I started to focus on developing a closer relationship with God, I learned that God really does communicate with us in our thoughts as we pray. I had tried everything but God. Went down every path except the one God chose for me. I was just tired. So I turned back to God and said ok Lord where do YOU want me to go? I mean I cried out to Him with my heart and like a tornado He cle
