Praise Break

Last week my Pastor, Joseph Hewitt, gave us a very important revelation about our situations. He stated that most issues could be summed up like this - Problem, Praise, Promise. We first have a problem, but if we continue to praise Him, we will receive the promise.

I experienced this first hand on yesterday. I was so focused on my problem that I forgot to praise God and forgot about the promise. God is not slack concerning His promises towards us. We become slack when God is not moving with the urgency we feel we deserve.

I had to take some time out yesterday, right in my living room and jump, shout and thank Him for the promises He has revealed unto me. I had to thank Him for my home, my children, my job and my life. I had to give up much praise for He is His good and His mercy endures forever.

I realized that problems are a way of moving us into our destiny and propeling us to do something else to reach our goals. I can't continue to complain about a situation, but do nothing to make it better.

I am looking to experience an exceeding, abuntant life because He came that I might have life and that more abuntantly. My goal for the Month of October is to praise Him with all that is within me. To give glory to the one who has given me life. To look to the hills, from which comes my help. To believe to see the goodness of the Lord. To Walk IN FAITH, with these heels on!

Keep Walking, you are almost there!

Growing In Faith

Recently, I heard a song that has become very poignant in my life. It is "Hide Me" by Kirk Franklin. Yeah, yeah, Kirk Franklin. This song talks about how storms make our faith grow.

When I listen to the words of this song I appreciate the trials of life, I don't like them but it helps me to understand it better by and by.

I have added it to my play list and hope you will be able to hear it.

The chorus of this song says "Hide me, let me live behind You. Hide me, cause I need shelter from the rain. Remind me, the only way my faith can grow is when You let Your winds blow, Your making me stronger now, Rain don't go away." Now realistically none of us ask for the storms, the wind and the rain, but if it is designed to make us grow, stronger or better it is working for our good.

It is always hard for me to remain calm, cool and collected when everything around me seems to be tossed and turned, but Jesus always has to remind me that He is with me. Like to apostles in Mark 4:37-41, I get nervous when the boat gets to rocking and Jesus is resting. Because I like to have an idea of what's next, I have a hard time, when Jesus isn't answering me immediately or specifically.

I asked Him recently to do some things that were not hard but specific for me. It seems I am always asking God to show me that He is with me and He did. Now it is time for me to keep my end of the deal. I have to get out of the boat and start walking on water. Yikes!!! I still not too sure of the direction, yet I hear Him saying "Come."

But God, I have on these heels, how can I walk in Faith? He said one step at a time. So I am taking it day by day. Step by Step and growing from Faith to Faith. I often have to ask God to hide me and let me live behind him.

Some challenges I have had to face head on, but God is so gracious to me that He is my covering when things get too hard for me. When I feel unprotected and vulnerable to the world, He is always supportive, comforting and nurturing to me. He sends His word, His children and His grace my way each day.

When I am in one of those dry places, He send someone with water to help me make it through. When I am lonely, someone calls to connect with me. When I a blue, He sends the rest of the rainbow to cheer me up. I believe we serve an Faithful God!

I do need God to hide me and cover me, and I do enjoy each moment of it. I encourage you to ask God to do the same for you.

On My Way

This month I have determined that I am going to push past all obstacles, distractions, disappointments, discouragements, discomforts, financial lack and even my own doubts.

The Word of the Lord is so vibrant and strong that it continues to encourage me and keep me on track. I am pursuing my dreams with much passion. They may change as I evolve, but they will continue to be my dreams. I learned a valuable lesson for my life (MiVida) this year, that I am the only one who can place limits on me.

Fear and doubt has always kept me from moving towards my goals. I have been afraid to step out of the boat and dare to walk on water. I have been afraid of what others would think of me. I have been afraid of being disappointed. I have been afraid of how I am received or perceived. I have doubted my own ability. I have been doubted. But the buck stops here! I have decided that I refuse to be afraid.

Every Monday, I place a post on this blog. However, before I do so, I ask the Lord what I should say. What is important to me? What is important to you? And how to express those feelings, thoughts and emotions into something of value. I believe that the only thing that is important right now is to shed all of the pomp and circumstance and just be me.

What you see is what you get. Although, I strive to do better, be better and learn as much as I can. I am a work in progress and I like it. I am grateful that I have those who are in my corner, on my side, correcting me and cheering me on, yet if they all went away I still have to please God. I read in the Bible today, Romans 3:3 "For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?" This passage is talking about an inward and outward change in the Jews through circumcision, and I believe that it is relevant to my life. What if some don't believe, does that may God's Word ineffective? Does the work that God has completed in my life become void because someone else doesn't believe in me? It is important that we know that we have been changed and that God IS doing the work in us. That is what makes the difference.

I have found that so many people of God have so little faith, when we as God's children should be those with the greatest faith of all. We are quick to see and say the negative and are surprised at the positive. I often here people of God say "That will never happen for me" and guess what? It won't. I choose to say the opposite. I have so great faith, that God will supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory, that I have all that I need and more. I have so great faith that He loves me so much that although the young lions will suffer lack, because I seek Him I will not want any good thing. (Psalms 34:10) Last week, I was instructed to state out loud that "I am not participating in the recession." (I even told my checkbook that we were not going to participate this year.)

From this point on, I am using all of the energy that used to consume me and cause me to worry, murmur, complain and be frustrated toward reaching my goals. Therefore, based on past history, I should reach my goals in no time :))) I encourage you to do the same. The same energy that you would use to talk about the situation, use it towards your dream. Use what may have been negative and make it positive. All of the no's should make you strive for a yes, all of the closed doors should make you search hard for the open one and all of the naysayers should make you surround yourself with only the positive and focused people.

Today, I see dreams coming to life. I see you pursuing your dreams with fervency, passion and drive. I see us pressing past the obstacles and running after our dreams. Never forget that you are a daughter of the King and royalty has privileges.

Keep Walking,

MIDNIGHT PRAISE

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all saints; That the communication of thy FAITH may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. For WE HAVE GREAT JOY and consolation in thy love, because of the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. Philemon 4-7

This morning I have a midnight praise. I started writing this post at midnight tonight. I spent the entire day with Jesus. And Wow! We had a great time.

God in His infinite wisdom, love and power has lavished His love upon me. He wants to do the same for you. He is moving powerfully through the Body and preparing us for a change. There is a new direction that we each must take. We must change our directions, our garments, our spoken words and give up some things in order to truly be ready for His call.

There are so many things that could be happening to us right now, BUT GOD. He has chosen to give you the best part. He orchestrates our lives so perfectly that even the bad is good. He confirms His words and reaffirms our hearts to let us know that He hears us and He knows what He is doing in us.

I am soooo full right now. God gave me extra portions this weekend. He fed me His Word through His people and confirmed His direction in my life. What He didn't do was give me a map, an instruction manual or a compass. He gave me more of Himself. He spoke the Word to me and told me to do exploits. He guided me in the right direction at the right time to hear from Him.

I am rejoicing. I am praising God for me, for you and for us. I am so full of joy over the promises that are coming to pass. I pray that my communication of FAITH become effectual in each one of you by acknowledging every, and I mean every, good thing that is in you through Christ Jesus. God is calling us to rejoice in love with one another and share that Love and FAITH with another.

I expect to see each one of you rejoicing for what is to come. Get that thing in your mind, whatever it may be, and praise HIM for it now. I mean really praise HIM! Open your mouth, speak life into it, bless Him for it, use the scriptures over it, refuse to let it go and watch God manifest in it.

This morning, I have a Midnight Praise. Continue to pray for me as I pray to Him.

Keep Walking,

Labor Day!

Whenever a woman thinks of Labor, whether she has children or not, it is usually in the context of giving birth.

Well ladies, today was Labor Day.

Inside each of us is a dream waiting to be fulfilled. There are things that only you can do. I don't care who else has opportunity, privilege or drive, there are things that God has given to you to do and only you can accomplish them.

Today is a day of birthing. Manifesting those desires that were placed within in you before you were conceived. I know some wonderful women, who are talented, gifted and anointed to do only what they do best. God has blessed me to be surrounded by His daughters, who have talents and gifts that are without compare. In my life there are hairstylists, event planners, engineers, beauty consultants, makeup artists, therapists, wives, mothers, anointed preachers, teachers, mentors, designers and daughters, who bless me each time we meet. I appreciate the value that they add to my life and the encouragement that they deposit.

Each one of these ladies have been more than just a shoulder to cry on, they help me to continue to push, because I have to birth this baby! They see the vision and continue to help me to stay on track. To push past the obstacles and to jump over the hurdles. Each time I reach a point of giving up, I hear: You can do it, Keep walking even with those heels on, With God all things are possible, PUSH!

Today I pray that each one of you who read this post, know that God is birthing your dream. Sometimes it takes a little longer to see the manifestation of what He has deposited within you, but it is well worth the wait.

It is Labor Day. Do you have that measure of Faith that expects to see those things that are not, to call into existence what God has placed inside of you? I challenge you to take some time out this week; Be still and listen to what God has to say. Wait for the gentle nudge from God and then remember everyday can be Labor Day. God is always birthing something through His daughters.

When I am tried in the Fire, I shall come out as pure Gold!

P.S. The Christian Louboutin brand is touted as the most comfortable high heel shoes in the world, therefore, I sure I can give birth in these.

Just A Thought

I am inspired by the moves and methods of God. He has increased my Faith through His word and His deeds. I hear testimonies of His goodness unto His children and I am inspired to continue in what He has given me to do.

I try to remember that each time I write something on my blog, that it is for His glory and I am a vessel for His use. I know that everything that I experience is an opportunity for growth. I am learning that the Lord uses moves and methods to align me in the right place at the right time. I am learning that everything has a purpose. I am learning to let go and let God. I am learning that He is in control and that He only wants the best for me. I am learning to lean on Him and trust Him in every aspect of my life.

Wisdom is gaining knowledge from those experiences, applying them correctly in my life and using them to uplift and edify another. The goal of my postings is to spark within you the drive to press forward and go deeper in Him; to use each experience as an opportunity to learn more about Him and about who you are in Him.

Today's lesson was Joy. Being joyful and full of joy about everything that God has provided. I laughed hard today. I ate cookies with abandon. I had popcorn with butter (the fake kind). I enjoyed myself. I learned that He has given me everything that I need to live abundantly.

I truly appreciate what God has given me today and I am excited about what tomorrow brings. I am confident in this, through everything I experience I know God is taking me from faith to faith.

My Faith is On Trial

1 Peter 1:6-9

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love in whom, though ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

In a court room, a person stands before a judge. You are either the plaintiff or the defendant. You are either making claim against someone or defending your actions. The plaintiffs duty is to lay out all of the evidence against the defendant and convince a judge and/or jury of their crime. The plaintiff gives the facts and supports the claim with documents or evidence to support the claim.

The defendant is doing just that: defending. The defendant must refute or dispute the evidence with information and documentation of their own. They must also make claims against the claims that are used as evidence against them.

Ultimately, the Judge decides the matter. Period! The Judge decides what is permissible and acceptable in each case.

Today, MY FAITH is on trail.

I am the plaintiff and Faith is the defendant. God is always the judge.

Looking at my circumstance with my natural eyes, as the plaintiff, I present evidence and facts against the situation at hand. I recall all the facts with familiarity, because right now they are hurting me so. I call all the witnesses to support me because everything feels so heavy. I also use evidence that is not fully supported and claims that have NO documentation. I parade each problem before the Judge and openly discuss their misdeeds. I uncover facts that are not relevant to the current case and try to apply them to my claim. I use every trick in the book to persuade the Judge of my cause.

All the while, FAITH sits quietly, observing each piece of evidence. Even though all the evidence is not true, Faith allows them to be submitted and applied to the case. Faith allows the FIRE of the situation to be turned up even higher because Faith knows that it must praise, honour and glorify God in every situation.

There are no sudden outburst, no weeping or crying, just resolute silence. Faith already knows the verdict.

Faith holds out, not even breaking a sweat. Faith endures the accusations and lies hurled in the midst of my heaviness. Faith loves the Lord so much and works only to please Him. Faith is Golden.

I picked the moniker "Golden" because I am often tried in the fire. The Bible lets me know that I am coming out as pure gold. And even though gold may perish, the Faith within me is more precious than anything else and it will remain.

In this trial today, Faith has won. The evidence that I have presented is not only faulty, God disallows it. My witnesses are not credible. Even though I have paraded them through the courtroom, God says He has a greater cloud of witnesses. And the documents that I have gathered are all burned in the fire.

I must pull up my bootstraps and stick it out. The trial is not so great that my hope in Him is diminished by some temporal things; by this faulty, uncredible evidence. I should know by now that the Verdict is always the same.

FAITH WINS!!!!!!!!

Persuasive Faith

Romans 4:20,21 (Scripture modified) Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in Faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.

Faith is persuasive. It can cause some to believe in God and increase in others. Through the trials and triumphs we experience, we provided visible evidence that the Lord is truly listening to our prayers, guiding us down the right paths and working miracles in our lives. This evidence is a witness that our Faith is growing and becoming stronger. God made a promise to Abraham and although it did not immediately manifest, Abraham continued to have Faith in God. He knew that God would do just what He said and HE DID!

That is strong Faith, that is persuasive Faith. Just imagine what Abraham's servants, family and friends must have been thinking after Sarah announced she was pregnant, after all those years. Abraham knew God was not a man that He would (should) lie. His level of Faith was so strong that he did not doubt God for one moment. He just waited and God did perform what He had promised.

I asked the Lord to give me this kind of Faith. The kind that encourages, edifies, glorifies, compels, and persuades others to want to know Him and serve Him. To believe that if God said that He would do it, He will.

BUT....

First I have to walk down the path to gain the knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Only then is my Faith walk made stronger and is useful to others. Sometimes this is a lonely path, yet I know that I will not be alone. Everyone will not understand, support or believe what God has promised and not matter how many times you explain, diagram, and express it, they still will have unbelief. Even Abraham's wife had to laugh. Although the Lord quickly stopped that!

It is time for us, the women of God, to stop laughing at what God has told us (OH, yes you have) but to rejoice because He has entrusted us with His plan for us. No matter what it looks like, He knows what it is going to take to get us there. Joyce Meyer said today that we have to stop wasting so much time. Amen to Joyce. Being promised something by God does not allow us the opportunity to sit still until He performs it but it should encourage us to get moving until He shows up.

I want strong Faith, in all areas of my life, therefore, I cannot stagger every time something does not go as planned or I don't see how He will perform it. I cannot allow unbelief or doubt in myself or others to surround me because that does not glorify God. I have to have that unwavering, unmovable type of Faith that lifts me up above those things and helps me to know that God is able also to perform His promise.

I am fully persuaded that all God's promises are yea & amen. and what He has promised me, HE WILL PERFORM IT. (So Don't laugh!)

Do You Have Faith In God?

Sorry, I am late this week, I had a final exam, but Praises be to God! I got an A-. I wanted an A+, but God is good.

Although I am a daughter of the King, I sometimes forget that I am priviledged. I forget my rightful place and allow fear, doubt and discouragement keep me from doing and being all that God has called me to be.

The Lord has not given me the spirit of fear, but yet I am sometimes afraid. I have to shake that spirit, which holds me hostage and keeps me from stepping out in faith. As I continue to walk with the Lord and truly let him lead and guide me, I find that His perfect love casts out that fear and replaces it with boldness and courage to do exploits.

Jesus asks His disciples, how long had they been with Him, yet they still doubted. I can relate to those disciples. When I see that hard thing in front of me, thoughts of victory run in the opposite direction and a flood of doubt rushes in. Yet Jesus encourages me in Mark 11:22, he says "Have Faith in God." He is the source of all my power, authority, victory, peace, love, joy, and hope. I have to "Have Faith in God."

As I move forward in reaching out to those who may not know Him and encouraging those who do, I find myself in a position of vulnerability. Everyone is not going to receive me, congratulate me or support me. I just have to "Have Faith in God." and in His word and promise to me. He promised He would never leave me nor forsake me, He said "Lo, I am with you always."

Today, I refuse to allow the spirit of fear, doubt, disbelief, discouragement and disappointment to overwhelm me or overtake me. But I choose to walk in victory, belief, encouragement and appointment. I choose to exercise my full priviledge and walk as royalty in the Kingdom of God. I choose to know that with God on my side, I am more than a conquerer. I choose to Have Faith in God.

Sisters, just know that no matter what the situation looks like, you must always remember that you are a daughter of the King and that because of Him you are priviledge.

When things look their worse, shout out loud "I Have Faith in God."

Faith that Is Pleasing

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

This morning I woke up thinking about the level of my faith. Is it pleasing unto God? This scripture is so powerful; in that it asks us to do something, to receive something. We must seek the Lord with our whole hearts, minds and souls to receive our reward. But in the midst of everything that is going on, we are pulled from every direction and our hearts go one way, our minds another and Jesus bless our souls!

I truly want to be pleasing unto God. I want to be a vessel of honor. I want to walk in obedience. I want to yield to His will. I want to hear Him say "Well Done!" I want to walk the streets of Gold. I want to see Jesus.

Have you really ever considered where your level is? Are you full, half way there or running on empty? I know that to please Him, we must believe that He is. But believing is half of the battle, we must know that He is.

The Lord has been my provider, deliverer, sustainer, encourager, comforter, protector, counselor, friend, companion, lover, and most of all Savior, in every sense of the word. He saved me from sin, myself, foolishness, vanity, pride and self-destruction.

As daughters of the King, we must know that we must cultivate our faith in Him to be pleasing to Him. We must talk with the Lord daily and LISTEN for the answer. We must come to Him believing that He knows what is best, that He is in control and the He IS. And most importantly we must seek HIM - Diligently. Like we search for sales, we must seek after Him. Like we check our emails, we must seek after Him. Like we text, we must seek after Him. Like we shop, we must seek after Him. These are just a few things that we prioritize in our lives. Let's make seeking HIM a calendar item. Let's make seeking Him an email reminder. Let's make seeking Him, the text of the day. Try it. Send an text to one of your fav five and tell them to stop and ask the Lord if they are pleasing Him. Email someone and ask them to check their Faith.

Writing this blog, I am seeking the Wisdom of God and His Words to pass along. I am activating my faith that this will not be just a hobby, but a profound expansion of God's Glory in our lives. I am asking each one who reads today's post, to respond with a hearty Amen.

Add your faith shout to this blog. You don't have to write a long note, just say AMEN!

Keep WALKING in Faith, even with those heels on!

Growing The Fruit of Faith

For the past month and a half, our Pastor, Joseph Hewitt has been teaching us about Spiritual Fruitfulness. Now the fruit of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, meekness, temperance, and Faith. (Galations 5:22,23)

You know where I am going, Faith. It is a powerful weapon against the enemy. I believe that Faith is so powerful that nothing can stand in its way. Faith can be a positive or a negative. The activation of your faith is totally up to you. You can have no faith, little faith, great faith or so great faith. What is that thing that you are praying diligently about, speak it in Faith. When you wake up each morning, confirm in the spirit that God has already done it. Don't doubt, never waiver. Rise up knowing, not feeling, but knowing God is on your side.

I have found that Faith is a fruit, a spirit, a healer, a shield, a breastplate and a gift. We walk by faith, stand in faith, possess faith, speak in faith, see our faith. It can save us, can be weak or strong, is a justifier, and it only takes a little to move mountains.

But what is Faith to you, what does this really mean?

I have been admonished and encouraged to have it and to walk in it, to believe and to activate it.

It is more than just hoping and believing, it is knowing that the Power of God rests in each of us and that is desire is to see each one of His children blessed, delivered and set free from all bondages and hinderances.

It is important to God that we please Him, but without Faith, it is impossible. Heb 11:6.

You may ask, "How do I get Faith?, How do I know I have Faith?" Well knowing the Lord through His Word strengthens your faith and you. Hearing the Word and reading it, helps confirm your knowledge of Him and all of us are given a measure of Faith. How you cultivate and water your fruit is up to you.

I suggest that you get in the Word and look up all the scriptures on faith, there are about 247 verses in the King James Version of the Bible. I assure you that one of them will speak directly to you. Mediate on God's Word today and grow your fruit through His Word.

I am so excited to be moving forward in Faith and to know that you are sharing this ride with me. Continue to tune in and to look forward to weekly encouragement and positive thoughts to help you in your walk of Faith.

Where is your Faith today?

I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me (Phil. 4:13)

Posting is hard, but not impossible.

This morning (afternoon really), I thought about how to get this blog off the ground. Would people really be interested in stories about Faith. Is Faith a dead horse, beatened into the ground by books, quotes, cliche's, and endless bumper stickers? Well I would hope not!

By Faith, we believe to see those things that we continually hope for: saved loved ones, a marriage restored, financial breakthroughs, healings in our bodies and overall well being. This list goes on and on.

Although it is good that we are able to read stories of inspiration and hope, we need a tangible means of relating to those in the story and a methodology of applying it in our lives. We are, of course, only human. But I challenge everyone to really take some time and think about where you are in your faith walk. Teetering on 4 inch stilletos or resting comfortably in your loafers?

Well today, I think that I am somewhere inbetween the two. I have some things that I desperately need to see the Lord move in and some things that I know God's got.

As I write this blog, I am not trying to debate theology or confound the wise. I am just trying to relate as a woman and a sister; a girlfriend, if you will, who knows the tribulation and triumphs that WE go through. We are often taught that we go through things for a reason, to be a blessing for some one else, that is why it is important that we share our experience and give hope to another that their faith might increase. The Bible says in Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is WRITTEN, The just shall live by faith".

It is a bit intimidating to put yourself out here like this and believe, have the faith, to continue to write what you feel, share it with others and know that God will be glorified in it. I am not sure of what will come from this, but I know that if one person is helped, edified, inspired and encouraged to go forth and possess the land, then God has fulfilled His promise to me.

Ladies, please save this blogspot, and pass it along. I am looking to reach the masses and get their stories for posting. Everything is important and necessary for our learning experience. Help me to increase in Faith.

Tried in the fire, but I am coming out pure gold!

(Shoes by Donald J Pliner - Ryba)

Today, Is a good day! I woke up to the rain at my window. Normally, this would make me want to say in bed, but I chose to get up and get moving. I did my homework, in peace. My oldest daughter made crispy pancakes and eggs, yum and the sun began to creep out from behind the clouds. I think that we take for granted what the Lord has provided to us through the elements, we call nature. Only through His grace are we able to experience both the rain and the sun, the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow. God has a definite plan for us and keep us on the right path for maturity and growth. Only he takes us from glory to glory and from faith to faith. When we continue to walk on this journey, we are often amazed at the ground we have covered when we look back. It is through Faith, that I can speak a thing and see it manifest. It is through Faith, that I am able to say to any mountain "Be thou removed and be cast into the sea" and it is so!

People of Faith, no matter what we are believing for, dreaming about and seeking to receive, God answers. Activate your faith today, there will be some fire to try you, but you will come out as pure gold!

Keep Believing,

MiVida es de oro because My Life IS Golden!

When I am Tried in the Fire, I shall come out as pure gold!

Welcome!!!!

I am so excited that you have joined me in my first attempt to blog. I am looking forward to reading your stories and testimonies about how your Faith has been activated. I recently came up with this idea after losing my home. I had roughly 30 days to find another place for my children and myself (especially one I could afford), living in a box sounds nice, but trust me it isn't. Wet cardboard does not make for a good morning or evening, unless you're making paper mache'. Nonetheless, I am not too outdoorsy anyway, so that was a wrap.

All during this difficult period, I didn't worry, I just knew God was in it. Not only did I find a new place and could afford it, the owners, who didn't want to negotiate, called me to accept my offer! Everyone I talked to, continued to encourage me and told me to keep walking in Faith. One day I had to stop and ask, How Can I walk in Faith, when I have these heels on? They were 3 3/4 inch sandals. This birthed my quest to find out how Women of Faith continue in the journey.

It is amazing that through all of the trials and tribulations we experience, we are still able to stand our ground, tell the devil NO!, and keep it together. There have been days when I felt like my heel was broken, when my shoes felt a little too tight and when they just kept flopping off but God. He fixed the brokenness, loosened the tight places and secured the loose ones.

Sisters, Ladies, Women of God and Mighty Warriors, How do YOU keep walking in Faith, with those Heels On?

Continue to press forward because there ain't no going back.

Keep Walking,
