Women need close female friendships

Satan has worked very hard to produce shame in our lives.  This shame keeps us from making a difference in the lives of others, this shame keeps us from developing meaningful friendships, this shame keeps us from experiencing the type of intimacy that makes us feel free and loved.   Women particularly have suffered in this area.  God created us to relate to others.  It's one of our purposes on this earth.  See man was put here first and he was by himself, but God created woman not only for the purpose of relationship, but by design we have never known anything else.  Women need close friendships.  We need these friendships to grow in our relationship with God, we need these friendships to be healed from diseases, and we need them to break unhealthy behavior patterns in our lives.

One of Satans specific missions is to keep women apart.  Why do you think women are too busy to nurture friendships anymore.  Satan uses our jobs, our family responsibilities, all types of things to keep us from connecting with one another.  He uses the "necessary" things in our lives to give us an excuse to not nurture our friendships, when really our friendships need to be one of those necessary things.

Here is a good one that Satan uses on single women: "I can't be friends with women".  how foolish does that sound?  A woman saying "I can't be friends with other women"! The devil is a liar and that is one of his lies.  I use to say that.  Women all over the world are being robbed of something they need desparately because of this lie. Satan told you you can't be friends with other women because HE HATES YOU!  SATAN HATES YOU AND WANTS TO DESTROY YOU!

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone.  It's not my place.  I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see.  Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest.  I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?".  I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.  I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern.  The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media.  I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within .  Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through.

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you?  I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now.  I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well.    Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have.  There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you.  It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you.  God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence.  There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard:  Our hearts and our mouths.  We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths.  Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy.  It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows.  And some desperate times.  It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it.  But marriage is worth fighting for.  You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok.  It's ok to not be ok.  It's ok to not be ok with your marriage.  It's ok to not be ok with your life.  Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over.  Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over.   In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude.  God has seen me in my struggle.  Struggling with my emotions.  Struggling with my desires.  Struggling to stay faithful.  He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this".  He didn't look at me ans say "I can't believe you are
