Be generous with your illuminating light.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14, 16 NIV)

God's light in you is not meant to be hidden. Instead, let it shine so that others may see your Savior. Are you ashamed of your light? If so, pray that God should make you bold. That is also my prayer as I personally struggle with speaking in public.

"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord ..." (2 Timothy 1:7, 8 NIV)

As a woman that prays, you stand out different in the world and others see it. Your light illuminates and causes others to question what makes you different. Why do you seem to handle things so calmly? Why do you have such peace in the mist of struggle? Why do you care so much about the poor and needy? Why are you always happy? ... 

The answer is clear, you have seen the light of God and it reflects on you.This light is meant to draw souls for Christ. Don't let the distractions of the world dim your light. Speak up about the truth of the gospel, share your faith even when it feels uncomfortable. Share your light to the younger women around you who need the light.

If you have Jesus in your heart, then you have the light and it can not be hidden. You were once in darkness but have seen the light. "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." (Isaiah 9:2 NIV)

Be generous with your illuminating light!

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
