The Lord told me that no matter what I go through- this week, next week, next month...He is ALWAYS there, walking right along beside me.
And He told me something major.
"You take care of My business, I'll take care of yours."
To that I say, "YES, LORD!" With all joy and patience, tears of joy and relief streaming down my face, I whole-heartedly respond to Him "YES". "To whom else shall I turn?"
He has been so good to me.
If I take care of His business, He is surely seeing about mine.…

Something happened to me this week in my business which was a true disappointment to me.
Due to some unforeseen events I ended up losing out on a lucrative opportunity which I had been working on diligently for over a month-- and if we want to be really honest- for at least five years total.
I was heartbroken.
I have given up so much in the past few years to be home in order to raise my child - all my choice (and my husband's). My goal was that within five years I would replace my income with…

There were moments in my life when I didn’t feel that I could possibly start a business. The timing wasn’t right, I didn’t have enough experience, I was too young…my excuses went on and on.
Finally, one day I felt a twinge of excitement as I discovered that one of my hobbies of making homemade soaps could actually turn into a somewhat profitable business. I leapt forward into the world of business, learning the ins and outs of beginning my very first home-based business start up- keeping up wit…

With the aftermath of 9-11, many of our nation’s women and men, teens, and young children have suffered from severe PSTD (post traumatic stress syndrome). It is noted that alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption, and promiscuity, have all increased in the recent months following the attack on the Twin Towers- especially in the areas near and surrounding Manhattan. Suicide rates also increased as a result of the depression many people experienced in losing loved ones and enduring the horrific cr…

Okay, this article is a bit late. Summer has past and autumn is already upon us. But I just wanted to share this with you (it was written this summer for the
CLC Mag). The part about vacationing I think is still applicable no matter the season. God wants us to rest.
Enjoy the article!

Yet another summer-related vacation article. Hopefully you may still find it relevant this fall. Enjoy!

I’ve spent a good deal of my summer trying to figure out what to do with myself , my husband, and my two little girls- age 1 and 7.
What to do, what to do.
Well…I knew I had birth…

Here's an article I wrote for the
magazine about spending time with God. Enjoy!

“Spending time with God is something every Christian woman should set aside time for.”
Perhaps this is a fairly common statement that we’…

Last week I attended a church service with my husband and I was asked by one of the officiants of service to be prepared to give my testimony when called upon.
It was my first time visiting that church, and I was a little taken aback by the request...
But that got me to thinking about the scripture that tells us to "be ready in season and out of season".
I began to ask myself, "what is my true testimony"?
Obviously I have SO many testimonies to give. Like the plentious times the Lord has sho…

This weekend I’ve really been thinking a lot about trust.
Trusting God.
I mean, how much do I REALLY trust Him with my life?
Looking out my window, I see buds of lavender flowers beginning to show through the grassy lawns, a beautiful mellow, sky blue backdrop for the oaks behind my house, and a horse…
yes…a horse. It’s my neighbors. (Okay, so we don’t live way out in the deep country, but just country enough to really relax- & within 5 minutes of Publix of course).
But back to trust. A…

I was thinking lately of some of the gifts and talents I have stopped up inside...things I haven't let out of my soul in ages, because I just "didn't have the time".
I've begun to realize how important it is to God that I unstop the plug.
I heard a preacher once say that God doesn't want our river stopped up with murky waters. Inside of our belly He placed "rivers of living waters". we need to let the river flow.
So...that said...I'm learning to let it flow...
I want to invite you to read my…

I am extremely excited to see that so many new faces have joined Christian Ladies Connect.
My prayer is that as we begin connecting online, that we see Christ in and through one another.
Let us come together in order that we become equipped for Christ's service.
if there are things we just don't understand, let's talk about those things, and seek the Word of God for the ultimate answers.
I look forward to getting to know each of you wonderful dear Sisters in Christ.
God bless you all!

Mary and Martha.
These two ladies were instrumental in carrying a message to all women throughout generations to come, yet they never knew just how important their life messages would be.
Let’s get a bit of background on these ladies.
Mary and Martha were sisters and Lazarus is believed to have been their brother. The three of them lived together and were friends of Jesus.
The definitions of their names alone give significant insight into what these 2 women were like.
Though sisters, they w…

Well, ladies...
God is definitely at work.
Ultimately, to understand the Word is crucial to living a life of victory.
God works within systematic order...and although His grace extends to us when we don't know the Word and are drinking of the "milk of the Word", there comes a time and season in which He expects us to grow into newer stages of development and begin to chew the "meat of the Word".
In other words, He's waiting for our growth, Sisters! He's given us all we need, all the tools-- ev…

I am absolutely excited about this networking group!
I have SOOO much to share about what's happening in my life, and revelations God gives me from time to time.

ChristianLadies.net periodically.
I also update my personal blog quite regularly (
