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!

Testimony - great customers, great tips, $400 refunded from my school, Financial blessings

I had to blog about this.  I couldn't keep this to myself.  Something happened a couple days ago.  Just to share a little bit of the backstory before I tell you, my husband and I had a huge financial crisis about 3 years ago.  Things have gotten better little by little but it takes grind, especially on his part.  He is a great husband and dad so he takes pleasure in providing for his family.  This is a great entry point into what I'm about to share with you.  As we were approaching the beginning of the school year there were some other expenses approaching as well.  My husband and I believe our kids should be involved in extra curricular activities.  As they get older we feel they need constructive ways to channel their energy.  And they need to get away from the constant lure of the Ipad.  This is a big challenge for today's generation and you have to be proactive, especially with your children.  Anyway,  my daughter wa...

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...

Starting your day

When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well.  I burn out pretty fast.  When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better.  Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD;       I will wait for the God of my salvation;       My God will hear me.  It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well.  When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day.  It helps me to not get "caught up"  I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up.  Noah is home from school, not feeling very well.  I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today.  I'm praying that I to would...
