Be still and know.

"I am taking care of you. Trust Me at all times. Trust Me in all circumstances. Trust Me with all your heart. When you are weary and everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: "I trust you, Jesus." By doing so, you release matters into My control, and you fall back into the security of My everlasting arms.

Before you arise from your bed in the morning, I have already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities for you to learn My ways and grow closer to Me. Signs of My Presence brighten even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for Me as for hidden treasure. I will be found by you." - Jesus Calling

Be encouraged. Be still and know, HE is God. Be anxious about nothing. Be at rest. Be the beauty He's created you to be today. SHINE...because there is Someone FOR you and IN you that is life-changing...let everyone see. =)

You matter and are so, SO crazy loved.

Rise Above

I have got to just say...to every women out there who has been made to feel like she is beneath or below men in any way whatsoever, you have equal partnership with men! Eve was the answer to the problem that Adam was alone. 

You are an answer not a problem. 

You have been given a measure of strength that needs to be utilized! Use your strength like a woman, not like a man. Don't you ever settle for a man who thinks you are beneath him. I've heard some use scripture to try to make that point - that is not the heart of God! We as man & woman were given dominion over this earth and its inhabitants but not over each other. Find a man who will see your strength and use it to his advantage. 

When both the strengths come together - they become unstoppable. 

Satan is all about division because if he can get the men for themselves only or the women for themselves only he's won. Remember, the male is the representation of the image of God & the female is the representation of the likeness of God, when they come together in marriage they make the full representation of God on this earth! Wives partner your strength with your husband's and see what God does. Single women, NEVER settle for a man who doesn't see your worth or your strength, if he's the right one, he won't be intimidated by it, he'll see it as a benefit! 

Love you ladies!

My Princess Warrior: III

My Princess Warrior,

The greatest battle you may ever fight is the fight to forgive yourself. Remember, My beloved, all My chosen ones had to get up and receive My gift of grace to finish living out their faith.
I gave My disciple Peter the strength to get up from the guilt. I gave My anointed king David the grace to get up from the shame of committing adultery. I gave My apostle Paul the mercy to get up from pride and arrogance. I gave My warrior Gideon the courage to get up from his fears. The time is now to accept My forgiveness, and finish what I called you to do. Nothing can keep you down, because My power to rise again is in you.

Love,
Your King who helps you up whenever you fall

"The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again." Proverbs 24:16

Give your worries to HIM!

"Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7

Ever had one of those weeks where everything that could go wrong, goes wrong? A mailbox full of bills, bare cabinets, family member in the emergency room and finding a pink slip on your desk at work are just a few of the struggles some of us women deal with on a weekly - or daily - basis. Often times Christians offer advice on 'giving up all your worries to God' and then you'll have peace of mind. 

Some of you are probably rolled your eyes. And before I became a believer, I would have, too. 

In 1 Peter, we are asked to give all our worries, concerns and unwavering thoughts up to God. Of course this is easier said then done as the bill collector pounds on the front door and the phone is ringing off the wall with credit card companies needing payments. Once we pray and ask God to take our worries away, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will vanish the moment we say "Amen." It doesn't mean we might have to endure them for a few more weeks. It does promise that God will help us through whatever turmoil is taking over our lives at the moment. 

When we give our worries to God, we put our faith into His all encompassing power. In the bible, God doesn't just ask us to do this, he commands, pleads and begs us to turn to Him in times of trouble. He wants to bare our worries and have us rely on Him. 

Tonight take a moment to think about troubles are on your mind and say this prayer, "Lord, I have a lot on my plate right now. I sometimes feel like it's hard to go on and I don't know what else to do so I'm turning to you. I've giving up all my concerns and placing them on your shoulders. From this day forward I will release any stress life throws at me and pass it right on to You. I put my full faith in You and You alone. Only you can carry me through this tough time and I look forward to seeing the green grass on the other side. Amen" 

Lord, Change me!

"Lord change me!
Whatever you do, don't leave me the same.
Make me like You." 

Ladies, pray this prayer with me today. Every time we have a conversation with our Lord, ask Him to change you and change your heart. Ask him to break you to see what He sees and feel what He feels. Tell him you don't want your life to be stagnant and stale, but rather invigorating and uplifting for Him. Tell God you are tired of being stuck in a routine and need a way out; a way out to change someone else's life - and yours! 

 

Prayer for Fear

A Prayer for Fear

Fearless Princess! I pray that you will walk in the perfect love of Jesus Christ, in which there is no fear! May you realize that God does not desire for you to live in fear but to be a brave daughter of the King. Spend time with Him to refuel your courage. May you find your confidence in your heavenly father and your peace in His Son. You will fearlessly face and overcome any enemy in the name of Jesus! I pray that you will hold fast to the truth: nothing can come against you when you are safely in His arms. In Jesus' name, Amen.

" Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear: He is the one who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe." Isaiah 8:13-14

Christian Rap

A friend of a friend came up with these lyrics and I can't get them out of my head so I felt like passing them on. Enjoy! 

Hi there, How are you? No need to walk so hop right in
We’re going the same way, So let this JOY ride begin.
You were stuck at that CROSS road, didn’t know which way to turn
No real map to guide you, But you’ll see and you’ll learn
You don’t have much to say and don’t care to speak
It’s ok that you listen since I love to teach
Why were you wandering, so scared and so lost
Is it because you were living the way you wanted, no matter the cost?
When you look in this rear view, I know what you see
You see the person you were, I look ahead and see the person you’ll be
People may have wronged you and hurt you so much
But going forward, in those times lean on me and I’ll be your crutch
“They deserve what’s coming, You say forgive but how is this true”
Because I’ve been there, I was killed but still I asked “Forgive them, for they know not what they do”
The road won’t be easy, There will be bumps, turns and twists
The temptation will be real And hard to resist
The journey isn’t about you though, So don’t give into greed
Like a parent I will not always give you what you want, but ALWAYS what you need
Go tell others, they will listen To what you have to say
Don’t worry I’ll be there, Every step of the way
So go forth my child And turn away from sin
This isn’t the end of our JOY ride, but where it begins.

My Princess Warrior: Truth II

My Princess Warrior,

You live in a world that believes in many lies about life. This is why you, My chosen one, must learn to fight the temptation to live a lie. Only Truth will set you apart from the world. Truth may feel like a rough road to walk on; however, Truth is the only road that will keep you free from guilt and condemnation. Truth clears confusion. Truth lights even the darkest heart of man. Truth helps the lost find their way to Me. When you walk in My Truth, you will become the salt that causes others to thirst for Me.
Repent of all that is a lie in your life today, and you will walk in perfect peace, My beloved, all the days of your life.

Love,
Your King who is the truth

"He will declare to his friends, "I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it. God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light." Job 33:27-28

YOU are a gift.

You are a precious gift and a light to the darkness. Your beauty that the Father has placed in you can calm the storm with your gorgeous smile and tender heart. Your life is in His hands and you can succeed! You are His baby girl and He will love and protect you and keep you close.

Stop comparing and start loving yourself

"Every time we compare ourselves with someone else, we can never measure up because we're comparing our insides with their outsides." 

Ladies, read that quote one more time to make sure you get the full effect.  

We all are unique for His purpose. ONLY YOU CAN FULFILL that place. 

Don't compare. Rejoice in who you are!

For further encouragement, check out 1 Corinthians 12:18-20

Fearless Princess

My Fearless Princess,

I have not given you the spirit of fear but of a sound mind. Therefore today I call you Fearless Princess, the way I called Gideon a valiant warrior when he was afraid to fight. I am the same God who gave Gideon the strength to win his battle with the enemy, and I am your God. The only time something will overtake your heart is if you take your eyes off Me. I don't want my girl bound up in terror.

As long as you are walking in My power and truth, you have nothing to be afraid of; no matter what it looks like now, victory will always be yours. So fear not, My beloved, I will never leave your side - day and night I am fighting for you.

Love,
Your King who removes all fear

"Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you." Psalm 91:5-7

Prayer of Faith

Prayer of Faith

I pray that you will crave Truth in every area of your life. May you find only peace in the path that the Lord has created for you to travel. I pray you will know the truth in every and all situations and that the enemy will not be able to deceive you. In Jesus' name, I pray that you completely ignore the lies this world throws at you and that you embrace the truth that you are a child of the Most High God. I pray your confidence in His Truth will become contagious and that blessings and favor will follow you all the days of your life because of your choice to reject lies and walk in truth. In Jesus' name, Amen.

"...and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
