You Are Beautiful

My study this week centered on the way God sees us as women verses the way the world or even others see us. I have a passion to see women be who God wants them to be and see themselves that way; a passion to see women come back to modesty in their life.

It's really so sad to see so many girls/women dress the way they do and act the way they do. It breaks my heart. God has some pretty awesome thoughts about us as His children and daughters,but so many times we let the enemy,others,or ourselves define who we are. We often forget we are not defined by others,the world,the devil,or our circumstances. I have even been subject to do this to myself. There are so many billboards, commercials,shows on t.v.,and lots of other things that make women out to be seductive,evil,and dumb. I believe we are by nature sinners and without Christ we are those things. Even with Christ we can still be those things unless we submit every area to Him. The Word says to take captive the thoughts and submit them to the authority of Christ.


 ³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

 ⁴(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

 ⁵Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 ⁶And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 

  II Corinthians 10:3-6

This is a quote from the study "You see, Satan desires to have women in a stronghold of exploitation,sexplotiation,distortion,and desolation. He knows how effective and influential women can be,so he works through society to convince us we are so much less than we are." -Beth Moore. How true is this? A lot of men do not think this way either,but the world leads us to believe all men view us this way. It's an ugly cycle. When I was in college I grew a lot in my relationship with the Lord. Before I went off to college I defined myself by what others thought of me. I was the 4-eyed,skinny,shy girl that never spoke unless spoking too for fear of saying something stupid or dumb. God begin a process in me and He is not finished yet. He begin to draw me into His chambers and show me how He sees me. Even though I had let go of a lot of the insecurities and timidness in college, I still was defining beauty by my looks. You would not catch me out of the house with make up on! I went to the tanning bed to become tan looking so I would be pretty to others and even myself. I always had to fix my hair no matter what. I was defining myself through society and others. I begin to realize make up,tanning,and my hair did not define who I was. God defined who I was. To Him according to the Word I was beautiful. Not just on the outside,but on the inside. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14 This became a verse God spoke to me and it is one of my favorites verses. Fearfully in this context meant something majestic and beautiful,not ugly. I now go out in public without make up some and I certainly don't fix my hair no matter what. I also have not went to the tanning bed in almost 5 years. I see myself the way Christ sees me and it helps that my husband sees me that way too. He loves me even when my face is all broke out,I am fair as Snow White,and my hair is all sorts of ways! It breaks God's heart when we,as women and girls, try to gain the world's approval by our dress or looks. He sees us on the inside and if we are born again in Christ,we are beautiful . He does not care if our nose is too big in our eyes or if are hips are too small in our eyes,He made us perfectly the way He wanted our bodies. Our bodies are to honor Him.

Another thing Beth addresses is how we see ourselves is how we will act. We act out who we think we are. If that makes sense. ¹⁰I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10 "I also believe this is how the enemy sees you. He just does not want you to know it. His job is to deceive us into believing we are so much less than we are. Why? Because he knows we'll act like who we think we are. No matter what has happened to us,what we have done,or where we have been, you and I are brides! It's high time we see ourselves as we really are." -Beth Moore. I believe this is so true! After I had my second son, I was in a depression. I had to c-sections that were not planned and were thought would be a vaginal birth. A few days after the birth, I remember thinking I am such a failure. I cannot even birth my own child. I did not want to admit this to anyone,but this is how I felt. It was all a lie! I had birthed them,but had to have help. They were both still my blood sons! Instead of seeing how good I had done during labor and trying to get them here, I believe the lies the devil wanted me too. I wasn't any less of a woman than any other woman,but I was acting like it. 

Don't see yourself as any other way,but how God sees you. If you have asked forgiveness of the sins you commit,God sees you as clean. This is something I am passionate about. We can be so affective when we see and act as God sees us. 

  ¹³The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

 ¹⁴She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

 ¹⁵With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

  Psalm 45:13-15

In America?

A friend of mine sent me this link. It is crazy what the government or States want our Law Enforcement Officers to be doing. They could be fighting the real crime and not something petty. Take a look.

Here is something my friend sent me. This is pretty disturbing! I'm sort of in shock over this one. Take a look.

Is this America or Russia? Or China? Or what? This is insane. These are the things I want to make known to many who do not know about it. I had no clue about these 2 incidents,thank to Hollie I do now and I am making you aware of them. All comments will have to be approved by me. I don't mind a disagreement,but no foul language of any kind will be posted. Thank you! Let freedom ring!

Back In Business

It's been quite awhile since I have wrote anything here,but I want to start using it again. My other blog Becoming A Titus 2 Woman is where I do weekly meme's. I want to use this one to rely important info that the mainstream media will not tell you and also to write what is on my heart. I pray it blesses,encourages,and informs!!

So I'll begin with my morning. I woke up very early to go get groceries. I love getting up early to do this. I get to drive alone and shop alone,giving me time to meditate,pray,and ponder. I was hoping not to spend too much on groceries(not just food,but other things included) since we did an Angel Food Ministry box for this month. I always make a list and try very hard to stick to it. I compared prices and bought brands we usually don't get to try and cut down on cost. I got to the register and was chatting with the cashier,when she said the amount,which was only $41 over what I wanted to spend,but still. My heart sank. I remembered I had a coupon for the gas drops and it knocked $2 dollars off. I kept thinking, 'What did I do? I stuck to my list and I even got things that were cheaper than what we normally buy.' Our budget is tight usually at the first of the month like most families.

I thought to myself, we will never get ahead. We will never get out of the small apartment with many,many neighbors, and lots of crime(not so much at the apartment,but around us). I strapped on my seat belt,turned the radio up,and went along with the errands. Chris Tomlin's new song 'Our God' came on and listening to the words encouraged me. Our God is greater,our God is stronger. And if our God is for us,then what can stop us? And if our God is with us,then what can stand against? I popped in one of my worship song cd's and just soaked it up. I could hear the Lord saying You will get out. You will make it. I have overcome. I started thinking about all the ways God had provided for us in the past. I remembered the verse in Philippians 4:19 where he says that he will provide all our need. My heart begin to smile a little. I also remembered that we aren't always promised an easy road. But I did remember He said cast your care upon me. So that is just what I did. I told the Lord, I know it looks bad and we still have other bills to pay and our tithe to give,but we will give and we will make it. He knows what we do not know and all I need to do is trust.

This was my daily verse for the day. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22  I read it while lunch was baking in the oven. I smiled and thanked God. I was tempted not to tithe,but I said no devil you are not scheming me. We will give our tithe and our support to some missionary friends. I refuse to give in and be sad or discouraged. I hope you do too!!

AFA Drops Boycott

The American Family Association (AFA) is ending its boycott of McDonald's.

Mississippi-based AFA called for the boycott in May after the fast food giant joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. McDonald's has notified the pro-homosexual organization that McDonald's vice president Richard Ellis resigned from the board of directors of NGLCC and his seat on the board will not be replaced.

In a press release on Thursday morning, AFA reports that in an email from McDonald's to its franchise owners the company stated its policy is "to not be involved in political and social issues."

Randy Sharp is director of special projects with AFA. He says McDonald's has pledged to remain neutral in the culture war surrounding homosexual marriage. "

The franchise owners understood very early that this was an issue that McDonald's did not need to be involved in from a corporate level, and [that] they needed to stick with serving good food products in a convenient way, at a good price."

McDonald's officials also said the company has no plans to renew its membership in the NGLCC when it expires in December.

Others can learn

AFA president Tim Wildmon says it's encouraging that the world's largest global foodservice retailer has pledged to remain neutral in the culture war. He says other corporations can learn from McDonald's decision to not be involved in political or social issues.

"That's been our appeal to these corporations," he explains. "...[J]ust stay neutral [and] don't give money to organizations that are going to fight against traditional values. And we try to tell folks [that] many of [their] customers are traditional values folks, and don't offend them by supporting gay and lesbian activist groups."

AFA founder and chairman Donald E. Wildmon states that his pro-family organization "appreciate[s] the decision by McDonald's to no longer support political activity by homosexual activist organizations."

Editor's Note: The American Family Association is the parent organization of the American Family News Network, which operates OneNewsNow.com.

Breaking Laws

NBC allows s-word on live TV - no bleeps, no apologies, no nothin'

On Thursday, September 11th, at approximately 7:37 a.m. Eastern time, Today show guest Hans Lange emphatically said "Holy S--t" in an interview with host Matt Lauer. Instead of apologizing to the audience, Lauer and his crew broke out in extended laughter after Lange said the phrase. View the scene here (at the 3:50 mark in the video).

NBC uses a five-second delay in many live broadcasts, but chose not to use it here. As a result, NBC purposely allowed profane language to be used in violation of broadcast decency laws!Keep in mind that NBC thinks it owns the public airwaves and doesn't have a responsibility to control profanity on live broadcasts. Having sued the FCC in order to continue their filthy ways is just one more indication that they have no respect for children and families.If you are fed up the networks' arrogance in defiantly spewing profanity on live TV, take action!If you live in the Eastern Time zone, file a complaint with the FCC now! (The network did bleep tape delayed airings of the interview.)
