Who teaches you how to love and be loved? The world of today, the music of today? The magazine articles of today?
Who determines your value and worth? Who do you live for? Do you go through each day seeking and value and worth from others? From our husbands, partner, parents, even children? Look to the Truth, look up and understand that you are what GOD says you are! In Proverbs 31 it says we are 'as priceless as rubies'. In one simple sentence it states just how valuable we are as women! It means we are priceless, we are worth a lot more than who we think we're worth! Every woman, whether you're a woman of the world or a Woman of God, never forget that!
Now I've been there; compromised my morals, gave all I had and got nothing back. Gave up my life for a Man who didn't understand that I was made from man's rib, under his heart to be loved...not to be trampled on, but to be protected! I got my self-esteem from his praise, from his reactions to the things I did, but never once did I look to what God says about me! I always thought that his opinion mattered, I went to bed happy if he was happy with what I had done for HIM. Now do you see where that puzzle is wrong and doesn't fit? It was because I did not know my worth as a woman, I did not know what God, my Father, said about me! I did not know what God said about Love; how to love and how to be loved (1 Corinthians 13)
Its important as women that we see our value first and foremost, from the Word of God. We are special as women! Everything about you is wonderfully and perfectly made! We are a reflection of God's love for man for he said to Adam in the book of Genesis 'it is not good for man to be alone'. We are the female reflection of what a Man cannot express. That's why you must guard your heart and be careful to whom you give it too.
We're emotional creatures, we feel everything so deeply but outwardly. Do you know why? Again for we are the female extension of what a man cannot express! You have not been made by God to be abused, emotionally & physically; you've not been made by your Father, our King, to be ignored, laughed at, shunned and feel your worth is only in the physical pleasures you can bring! You have been made by God to fulfill and purpose and destiny which he has specifically designed for you. We're special; we birth children, we keep home, we love so deeply for a Man who is loved by a woman has a good thing. For in Proverbs 18:22 it says 'He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD'. Do you see that? We are GOOD! We enhance lives, we maximise, we increase favour :)
I listened to some very good advice from an extremely wise & special man, who holds and has very special place in my heart. His words to me were 'never lower the bar'. That means ladies, when you find a good man and God forbid it doesn't work out, never compromise or lower what your used to (baring in mind you must know your worth and value in God first). Never mould yourself into something else for someone else, for it is for the man to step up to your worth and value. He has to see how special you are, its not for you to make him see.
If you WAIT on the Lord 'blessed who are those who wait on the Lord'...he will send you your two! Now I can be an emotional mess sometimes, I'm pretty sure we all are. I can be moody, cry for no reason...I'm sensitive, I'm a big kid and the list goes on. Now do you know who you are? Never make the mistake of changes these things for anybody! Because the Lord will send people in your life that can handle what you are bringing. The Lord will send you someone who loves the fact that you are emotional, can be a mess, not afraid to show your emotions, will cry at a movie or even at Don't Tell The Bride because it's emotional (this happened yesterday). But yet you are strong, coreagous and know what you want from life. I speak from experience. Ground your roots in the Lord, the things of God for he is always working in an unseen place! He will send the person where you can be yourself, even in the process of when two become one, for you complete each other JUST the way you are.
I read somewhere that there are certain blessings a man cannot recieve without a wife, or woman for no man is an island. Some particular blessings come via a woman! Again, do you see how special you and I are? The roles we play in life are so important! Never forget your value, your worth and as you go about your day understand that you are what God says about you.
Follow The One, and he DOES lead you to your TWO :D xx
May God Bless You,

There's no time like the present...
They say when your spirit is low that the devil is trying to mess with you and your breakthrough or deliverance must be around the corner! How many times have you heard that or had that said to you! The question is, do you believe? Now let's be honest, it's great to hear that the current sticky situation your in, if your anything like me, the tears, the tantrums and the restlessness are all because there's a breakthrough around the corner! Sounds like a 'cop-out' right....well no it's not, because God does show up in his perfect time! If you are willing to hear from him and place yourself in a position where he can speak to you!
Let me share my testimony with you....
The week started out like any other week; university, home & new job. I went into the week thinking right i'm ready, devil throw what you've got at me because my God is a God of good and not evil. He will protect me and all you do will bounce off me. I learnt the lesson the hard way! I came to the revelation that Christ does not stop us going through the fire, but it's who we call on and how we handle the fire that matters? For either way, he'll bring us through for in his Word it states so.
It got to about Thursday and the devil was messing with my mind, messing with my inner peace, the only thing is I didn't notice it! I woke up in a very low spirit and that was my day for the rest of the day and even into Friday. I classed it as 'one of those days' for two days straight! But unknown to me the Lord was working in an unseen place and my deliverance was only 48hours away! You see it doesn't take long for God to show up, even if its in the form of a preacher from Atlanta Georgia.
The message was entitled 'I'm Gonna Jump' and I certainly did that in more ways than one! It was made clear that the Lord gives you moments in life, a window of opportunity that you will never get again and I knew in my spirit I'm currently in my Kairos moment (a window of opportunity that will never be returned) and I HAVE to jump. The message was simple, jump or stay the same! So I choose to jump and keep looking forward!
I guess what I'm trying to get across to you is the Lord will only give you certain opportunities once in life. Remember, we have a free will. We can follow his word or not, either way he still loves us but surely you'd want the better path. It was as if the sermon was written just for me! The revelation I have caught is simple! Focus on the things that matter to me, and with or without you I'm jumping! In order for me to have all my hearts desires, I have to keep it moving! I began to realise that all I've been through was preparation for where I am now! For the current tasks the Lord has put in front of me! That means focus! So I obey...I am fully aware my obedience to God will no doubt upset people, but obedience to God is better than sacrifice!
I look forward to the future and hope you do to. Understand that every up and down you have been through is preparation for the next level in your life! Never regret it, embrace it! No matter what you have been through, God can still use you, because he has seen what you went through, as he knew your life from birth and he will continue to use you for his glory!
My question to you is, where will you be when your Kairos moment appears? And most importantly will you jump into the unknown or stay where your comfortable? I know where'd I'd rather be :)
There truly is no time like the present.... ;)
God Bless you,

First Entry....
The inspiration for this blog comes from a conversation with one of my best friends of nearly 11 years.... I hope you enjoy and may God bless you x
As I go about my days, I learn that all the books in the world can tell you how to be a great woman, they can give you all the advice you ‘think’ you need, even down to the magazine articles that are shoved in our faces! But quite simply, only one book can tell you how to become the woman you desire; and that’s God’s love letter, The Holy Bible.
In Proverbs 31, in a simple 21 verses it tells you all you need to know about becoming the woman you desire! Whether married, single or dating, this is the book that will tell you how to become a woman of virtue.
From the above, I’m sure you can tell this site is about a woman’s worth. Only in my early 20's, I’m sure you will be thinking what does she know, she just a child. Yes, I may be a child in your eyes, but I am child like no other. I am quite simply a child of God! And trust me ladies I have been through it. I’ve been where you are, and lower, but I’ve got the victory. For the devil tried to bring me to my knees with his pursuits and tactics, but whilst I was there I prayed and began to understand who I was in Jesus Christ.
I pray through this blog I impart the wisdom in which God has placed in me onto you. Whatever you take from this blog, whether it is nothing, or something, please take this. You are a woman with a purpose, who is more than her external being. You are so much more than what you are percievedd to be, if you only knew you would understand our importance in the world. We're not just women, but we are women on an assignment with a purpose and worth.
May you have a blessed day,
xx
