It's Not About You, part 2... Our Testimonies

Hello Everyone. Someone. Anyone. Today is Word Wednesday, another day, another chance, another opportunity to experience the awesome wonders that God has already ordained for this day. I deemed it Word Wednesday , because here at a Woman Assigned, we share words that tell stories. Which leads to the topic for this week - a continuation of last week: It's Not About You, part 2... Our Testimonies. For the month of May on our internet radio talk show, The Purpose Diva and Friends, we've covered the topic: From VICTIM to VICTOR . Just like God, the topic for the month, mirrors my first blog as well as the piece I wrote for Afi's Tearoom , entitled " Are you a VICTIM or a VICTOR ?" I was the first to be interviewed on the talk show and although it was difficult, I shared my story. As we continued the shows for the month, we interviewed two other women: Sonya J. Wells and Kendal S. Turner, and they too shared their stories. What stood out in my mind and was quite evid...

Get Over Yourself... It's Not About You!

Hello Everyone. Someone. Anyone. Today is Wonderful Wednesday, another day where we can appreciate God's grace and mercy. God saw fit to send one of His appointed angels to shake us and wake us to witness the birth of a new day. Mercies were renewed at dawn, and we have yet another opportunity to walk better, talk better and be better with and for God. This week's blog topic is Get Over Yourself... It's Not About You! I open this up with a question: Why were we created? The truth is that we were created to praise and worship God. The word of God says in Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." We all look for God to bless us, to provide for us, to protect us and to be all that we need Him to be. Do we ever really think about what God requires of us?

In Spite of Me

CreationSwap.com/Kirsten Blac kstock Hello Everyone. Someone. Anyone. As I often times conduct my self inventory, I am often overwhelmed with gratitude at God's love and His overextension of grace and mercy. As I sat in service on Sunday, the Holy Spirit ministered to me the phrase and topic of today's blog... In Spite of Me The revelation... simply stated! When I'm at my worst, God is at His best! Not because of me; In spite of me. God will get His glory Nonetheless! Not because of me, In spite of me. ~Deneen God in His ingenious plan for our lives, can take our imperfections and use them to manifest His perfect will in our lives. We are like old pennies; outwardly, we need to be shined up to see our brilliance, yet we maintain our value and are still counted as ONE, continuously being re-polished and restored at the hand of God... THE PROCESS! The bible says that we are "The Apple of God's Eye." Imperfect in the flesh, prone ...

Creativeswap.com/Marian Trinidad Hello Everybody. Somebody. Anybody! Today is TERRIFIC Tuesday, another day that the Lord has made... REJOICE, REJOICE and be glad in it! Our blog topic, BE FREE was inspired by my conversation with a friend and dear sister in the Lord. Before I get into the blog, I want to send a message to my dear sister Patrice... You are the inspiration for today's blog. I thought about our conversation on yesterday and the Lord gave me BE FREE... I love you my sister and it's alright already! You have a beautiful heart, much like my own... From me to you my sister, love God with your whole heart, and the love you so freely extend to others, give freely to yourself. Look at Psalms 139:14 whenever you get down on yourself... "I will praise Thee, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made: marvelous are thy works; and my soul knoweth right well . Let Go my sister... and Let God! The opposite of FREEDOM is BONDAGE. bond⋅age. The state ...
