I was in dollar tree grabbing a few things for myself and getting more gifts and things for people and somethings to help out my Mom. I was joyful and and thriving on the wonder of this Christmas season. After I finished shopping I was standing in line and a stranger pointed out a shorter line, I thanked him in relief, the line I had been standing was super long. When the cashier finished ringing up all my items I went to pay the cashier the total of my bill and the stranger suddenly stepped in and said that's okay I got the bill, after assuring me he had it and I thanked him, he concluded with a joyful Merry Christmas! I could see a lot of the people in the store were surprised at this genuine act of kindness but no one was more surprised than I. It's funny I was going out my way to buy somethings to give to someone and in the process someone gave to me. I rushed to my sister in the car to tell her what happened,when I turned back to show my sister the stranger who showed me this act of kindness he was gone maybe an angel or just a giving person??? I couldn't get over the fact that my bill was free.This reminded me of God's gifts to us which are bountiful and free.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16 (KJV) God has truly offered us the greatast gift we can recieve and it's free. I don't know if the stranger was an angel or just a nice person,but God used him to bless me.This is just one of the blessings I've received this wonderful season and this year,giving,honoring God's gift to us and love for one another is the heart of this season! #given#stillhasntregistered#theheartofchristmas#thegiftofgiving#loveoneanother#aschristlovesus Written By:
Let Christmas prompt you even the more to worship our Lord and savior! For God is worthy of all the glory and the honor and Christmas is a celebration of who he is and what he did for every one whose ever lived. O Come let us worship and adore him! #christmasworship#worthyofallglory#adorehim
A publisher had an idea for a book on the myths of sex and they were looking for a writer. So they asked me and I believed I could write on this topic . For a year it was
like a romance with God totally in zone with him.This book was God's idea. Sex covers so many topics, I know the bad sides
and many women have experienced much worse things. I have a healthy
relationship with my husband so I knew the good and the bad and know I could
help people to defer between the two. There are so many topics about sex including but not limited to" homosexuality, STDs, marriage,
sexual sin, sex trafficking, abortion. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to write this book and I hope it
will help a lot of women.
What are some of the
myths girls buy into?
There are so many myths. But one myth is your body is separate from your
soul in the modeling industry they told me you can give your body away and your soul is not affected, however your body is connected to
your soul. When you give your body away you give away your heart & soul. That’s
why we get heartbreak because those relationships where we’ve
been sexually active get torn apart or broken up. The body and soul are
connected, just like when a woman has a baby it happens in her body but it soul’s
connected.Another one of the myths is that sex is casual. (friends with benefits) A lot of girls wonder why do I have an eating disorder why am I depressed? Their giving away their
body their precious temple and they wonder why they’re feeling this way. I
spoke at a college recently on body image the more I talked the more I realized
the majority of the girls were sexually active and they wonder why they don’t feel good in their body. Inside of marriage you’re
united under the covenant there is no shame it's just beautiful, but outside of marriage it's not.Another myth is sex is a part of dating, but sex is part of marriage it’s the fabric and
where the babies come from. Another myth is I plan my pregnancies, but God controls
the womb. God created us before the womb, in Isaiah 49:5 it says God called us before the womb. Another myth is that prostitutes, and such like are dirty, but most of them have been
abused. They were violated and they deserve our compassion their broken and need our love. The book talks on homosexuals are we loving them well, reaching out, we need to provide resources that will help them get out of that lifestyle. We meed to work with them help them and love them. The bible does say Homosexuality is a sin, but we have to present grace and truth.
Ultimately, it’s a book about love and single women, being
the bride of Christ, protecting your body, letting God fill your cup, in this book there is a lot of hope for single women, .
This book is about love and grace love of God and forgiveness. Songs of Solomon
doesn’t even use the word sex, it’s about love the way God talks to us.
Prince Charming ideal
How can young girls refocus and change that Prince Charming
mindset?
In marriage my husband wasn’t perfect and I realized I had been disillusioned about marriage and men. If you put your trust in man it well be like Jeremiah said a
parched desert, but with God it will be like a watered stream.(expectations for a man vs. God)
Changing your focus as a single woman and even in marriage
and get your eyes on God. The more you look to God the more fulfilled you will be and the more you will be able to love. Fix your eyes on God.
Abortion what about women who
have had abortions are considering it?
God is the creator of life and the finisher he’s God and were
not. He does create us in our mother womb, he will call us home one day and we
are not to play God. Another problem concerning abortion is the father has little to no rights concerning his own
child, a lot of men are angry who have experienced this. We have lifted woman up like Gods, they say woman get to choose,it's their body, but it’s not our body it’s God's body and we get
to choose. We must choose life. In Deuteronomy 30:19 God says I have set before you death and life choose
life. Woman who have abortions are effected the rest of their life, even woman
in their 40’s still struggle, some of these woman are going into the pregnancy
centers and are loving and encouraging girls using their mistake as a way to encourage others to make the right choice. Pregnancy agencies have so many resources now :jobs, adoption, medical
care. There are so many ministries and pregnancy resources for women who need to heal or make the right decisions and bible studies for woman who
have experienced abortions. If you've had an abortion God can forgive you. Many broken woman who have made the wrong decisions have been redeemed and now are making a great impact in the world.
Purity
How does a young
person keep them self pure and avoid the media’s influence?
It takes real grit and deep conviction to stand up for you believe.
Even if your home and everyone is out partying that's okay. It is also wise not to drink at all,you must have strong boundaries. Concerning dating stay in public places (not secluded places). Believe that you’re more, that’s faith believe.
If you feel like it's for you to get married believe he’s worth it and you’re worth
it. However,don’t save sex for the promise that once you get married sex will be amazing,
save sex as a devotion to God. If you save it with the mindset that I’ll meet a
perfect man and sex life will be amazing that's wrong, the bible says the pure in heart we will see God.

If you really want to be FREE or experience GROWTH in an area of your life as a Christian, then there must come a time when your prayers turn into action, and your actions represent the sincerity of your prayers.If you're truly praying with a contrite heart believing that God can and will answer your request then your actions must follow, that is the evidence of your faith. It starts with submitting your mind,body,soul, time and decisions to God. For example if you want to run a marathon you will do whatever training is necessary to successfully run that marathon.Faith without works is dead.If you want to be free or experience growth, put your prayers into action. Bottom line if you want to be free or grow you will do whatever it takes to be free,faith is not just belief it's action.!!!That first action is submitting to god in whatever area he may be dealing with you about. Give God everything,trust him completely, and act like you believe by getting in action.
James 2:26 - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:14-26 - What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:24 - Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2:18 - Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Written By:
They say confession is good for the soul,so here I go, you may feel down because your performance on the godly field hasn't been very successful,it's been lazy and to be honest I've felt that way myself last year,and a little this year.The truth is the great commission burns in my heart like a flame,but I confess in the past year,I've taken the great commission lightly,I've stuck my foot in the water,but have not been submerged, I've often allowed others to carry out the call alone,I've been too caught up in my own personal struggles,trials and strengthening my own faith alone. Meanwhile people have crossed my path, never to come my direction again,and I regret that I never took the time to tell them of God, sin or being born again. I've just be doing the minimum here and there yet not nearly enough. In the end the sad truth is sometimes we can never go back,to that person we should have helped or the youngster that needed to hear the word of God that has taken a bad turn,while I go on living with good intentions, but little action,souls all around are lost and going to hell.While I go on living for me, I can't clearly see how many people are hurting, because they don't know the power of the cross.Coming to this growing realization made me sick to my stomach.I could give a dozen excuses, but they would all fade like a vapor,because one day I will stand before a holy God and give an account for opportunities that I've missed and oh how many they probably are. I pray God will forgive me. I can't go back in time and take advantage of those opportunities carelessly lost,but I pray that I may boldly take advantage of the opportunities in the future with those who are lost,to share the life-changing message of the cross. Thank you for reading a piece of my heart,your prayers would truly be appreciated,not for me but for the lost souls around us that are longing to know the Lord.May we all do our part to fulfill the great commission."#Luke12:48 Written By:
