A Woman's Work Gets Done


Last winter was a harsh one at least it was for me. The back to back snowfall and back to back shoveling of snow was tedious, ugh!  This one particular day we received a substantial amount of snow somewhere between eight to ten feet. With only the women folk at home this day no one wanted to take on the task of shoveling snow.

 Often one of the neighbors would come out to assist, but the previous week snow storm left us with four to six feet of snow. And now more snow on top of what was already there overwhelmed us all.  No one was available to help the other for having to shovel their own yard, which I understood.  It was a real mess.  So I ended up having to shovel the yard on my own.  Of course I was angry because I DID NOT WANT TO SHOVEL AT ALL. I was experiencing excruciating pain in my lower back and I was just miserable. I paused for a moment to pray, “Jesus, I need you to be my back”.  God promised in his word that he would supply my needs, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19”, and that day I needed him to be my back. It may sound ridiculous, but that was my prayer to God which he honored. I went on to shovel my yard and to assist the lady next door with her yard.  God is good. 

Thank God for giving me the strength to do the thing I dreaded, but needed to be done.  Having to do things you do not enjoy doing can deplete you in so many ways. I have learned to surrender to God those things that frustrate me. I still do not like to shovel snow, but there are times when you must do what you gotta do - God is always good.

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Umbrella Lady

I have always admired this picture...the elegant lady with the umbrella...It reminds me of an expression my friend often says, " My Umbrella Has Holes ".  She was speaking of her life and some of the things she had experienced.  When I look at this picture I see my friend, an umbrella with out holes, happy, stately and strong. Do you ever feel like your umbrella has holes?  Life can sure make it feel that way at times.  Perhaps you are a single mother raising children on your own; or a college graduate having difficulty securing a job in your field. You may be a teenager feeling like you don't quite fit in. Maybe you are a victim of rape or incest and you feel so violated that you wonder if you will ever regain your life back. Perhaps you are sadden over a  loss of a job,or dealing with a sickness that have you asking, " Why Me ". These are certainly," My   umbrella has holes moments ". Although we may have our umbrella has holes moments/sea...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...
