Isaiah 61:1

Hello Women of Valour,

I read Proverbs 8 and was blown away. This is actually in the Bible. The creation story all over again in 10 verses. I am still blown away by them. I hope they blow you away too. Or at least give you a greater perspective or vision for who God and Jesus really are in your life.

Here are the verses:

Proverbs 8: 22 -31 

22 “The Lord formed me from the beginning,

    before he created anything else.
23 I was appointed in ages past,

    at the very first, before the earth began.
24 I was born before the oceans were created,
    before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
25 Before the mountains were formed,
    before the hills, I was born—
26 before he had made the earth and fields
    and the first handfuls of soil.
27 I was there when he established the heavens,
    when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
28 I was there when he set the clouds above,
    when he established springs deep in the earth.
29 I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
    so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,
30 I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,

    rejoicing always in his presence.
31 And how happy I was with the world he created;

    how I rejoiced with the human family!

As I read these verses I became more and more EXCITED by the words and the pictures they were painting in my mind. At the end, I began to question who or what is this verse talking about? I looked at the top of the chapter and read "Wisdom Calls for a Hearing". But as I read the words Christ came to my mind. Christ being with God as HE created everything. He was watching everything that God was doing. 

Let me share my excitement with each one of you. 
vs 22: Just as Wisdom was formed from the beginning. God also formed me and you. 

Some Scriptures came to my mind:

• The Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world (I Peter 1: 17-20)
• Christ Jesus, became wisdom to us from God (I Corinthians 1:30)
• I AM the One who is, who always was, and who is still to come (Revelation 1:8)
• HE does only what HE sees the Father doing (John 5:19) 
• Your Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Mathew 6:10)

I had to look up these verses for me to begin to understand what was being downloaded into me. Jesus was the Lamb that was slain before the beginning of anything. GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT was together before anything was made. I cannot and will not try to explain this but I can say that OUR GOD IS AWESOME!!!

Prayer: Father God, thank you for the gift of salvation and forgiveness You have given to me through Jesus Christ. Thank You for showing me Your Love for me in a VERY REAL way on the cross.
  

 QUESTIONS:

Who is Jesus to you today?

Will you share HIS Gift with another person?

I pray something you read or heard touched your heart to walk closer to God.

FALLING IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about

YOU

Isaiah 61:1

Hello Women of Valour,

What can I say I am in an AMAZING place right now. Have you ever had a season where things were going incredibly well for you? Some roadblocks may have tried to detour you but your mind was made up to keep your head held high. Well, this is where I am living right now. It was my birthday last weekend and my Husband REALLY celebrated my life. I could not have asked for anything more. When I thought the gifts and surprises were done, he still had something else planned for me. My birthday was a Saturday and Sunday event.

He made a dream come true that I never voiced to anyone but God. I had always wanted someone to tell me to pack an overnight bag and be taken to a surprise location. I had actually forgotten about the dream. But on Friday morning, my husband told me to pack an overnight bag and the clothing choices I would need.  I was overjoyed to say the least. This was only one of the surprises he had for me. As I pondered on my weekend and smiled from ear to ear with each surprise. I found myself seeing him in a different light. I saw him with new eyes and adoration. I could not explain it really but my eyes had changed. 

I did not know what happened but it was explained to me by the Women's Bible Study Group: Dinner, Devotion, and Dessert (3D) that I attend. I was retelling the surprises of my birthday and one of the ladies said "You are falling in love with your husband all over again." Then another lady confirmed it for me. When I heard the words it made perfect sense. I was already totally in love with my husband. This was a deeper and more intimate level. It is MARVELOUS!!! 

I thought about how my Husband surprised me this past weekend. Then I started thanking My Father for placing such an AMAZING man in my life. In the midst of my praise, I started to think about ALL of the surprises God has given me. As I thought about them I was grinning from ear to ear yet again. God surprises me each and everyday. HE loves me more than words can say. When I think our relationship cannot get any better; it always does. It is growing and getting deeper and more intimate. HE has been waking me up each morning with a song in my heart and on my lips. I know that I know that I am HIS and HE is mine. I have an AMAZING relationship with my Husband, Carlton. I KNOW that it is only because of Christ in our lives. HE lives in both of us.

BACKGROUND: God knows each one of us intimately. HE knew I had to be broken from being the "The Man" in the relationships I had gotten myself hung up in. I was strong but did not realize it. I chose weak men or they chose me. Whichever way you looked at it I was in charge of the relationships. I took care of everything. I was the provider and way maker. I was unfamiliar with the concept of being taken care of. God showed me that HE had my front and back and I could trust my husband to handle our business. My husband was different. HE took care of me. I had never met a man who was soooo on point with his life. I remember the courting stage of our relationship when he asked me a critical question: "You are used to being the man in the relationship, aren't you? I said, "Yes, please break me of this habit." I am happy and thankful to report that between my two Husbands: God and Carlton that I have been broken from that habit.

You may be thinking that is cool for you but I have not fallen in love for the first time or second time. Well, I am writing to share with you that there is a PERSON who is and has been waiting for you to allow HIM to love on and take care of you. This is one of the verses God used to speak to my heart. I used to think I had done too much for God to really love me. You may be thinking the same thing but it is a lie. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior there really is no more disgrace for you. Your Creator and mine will be your Husband.

Isaiah 54: 4 - 5

4 “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood. 

5 For your Creator will be your husband; the LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (insert your name), the God of all the earth. 

You are loved unconditionally. Your past, present, or future sins did and does NOT stop God from loving you. This is another verse God used to penetrate the darkness in my heart and mind toward HIM. HIS Love is everlasting. It took meditating on these verses for me to accept the truth. HE truly had to rebuild me. I was broken in soooooo many areas. You may be able to identify. If so, HE wants to rebuild you as well. HE is pursuing you just like a man pursues a woman he is really interested in knowing. 

Jeremiah 31: 3 - 4

3 Long ago the LORD said to Israel: 
“I have loved you, (insert your name) my people, with an everlasting love. 
With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. 

4 I will rebuild you, (insert your name) my virgin Israel. 
You will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines.

There is nothing you have done or will do that will separate you from HIS Love for you. There may be places in your life where you have believed the lie that God could not possibly love you because of ____________________. It is a lie from the pit of hell. 

You may have to post these verses on a wall or mirror and speak them to yourself over and over again. But trust me if you do it and really get these two concepts God will turn your world right side up again. HE wants you to dance and sing praises to HIM. It is time out for just existing as you go through life but HE wants you to experience LIFE in a brand new way. It is called FREEDOM!!! 

We are back to surprises. These were just two of the surprises God used to open my eyes to see HIM for who HE is instead of who I had made HIM to be in my warped mindset. When I started writing this post a song instantly came to my mind. Listen to the words which are VERY simple but POWERFUL! God wants each of us to get or stay in this place.

Link to Video: https://youtu.be/bZUiY74B0lc

God has given you surprises as well. Have you ever been down and someone said the exact right thing to lift you up? Have you ever needed something desperately and it was provided? Have you ever felt lonely and a friend called you to talk or hang out? Have you ever read something posted on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. and it was EXACTLY what you needed? Well, all of these are God's surprises just for you. Our Father truly works in mysterious ways. HE is pursuing you because HE LOVES YOU!!! I cannot thank HIM for ALL that HE does for me. I am finding myself falling in love with my HUSBANDS: God and Carlton all over again. 

It is my prayer that something you read or heard touched your heart to establish a relationship with Jesus today. If you already have one, then to walk even closer with Him today.

************************

Woman of Valour, if you have NOT accepted Jesus as your personal Savior. Pray this simple and life changing prayer:

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I need a Savior, Jesus Christ. I openly confess that I am a sinner and need a Savior. I am asking You to forgive me of all my sins and come into my heart. As I am confessing with my mouth and believing in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Lord who came to this earth, died, and was resurrected on the third day. I choose today to receive you into my heart according to Romans 10: 9 - 10. I choose to trust you with my life. HOLY SPIRIT, open my eyes to see myself as the Miracle that is spoken about in God's Word and the words of this post. 

WHOO HOO!!! I am praising God with you and for you. The angels in heaven are partying right now as well.  

YOU ARE A MIRACLE

DON'T STAY A VICTIM

BECOME A VICTOR!!! 

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me see My Creator as My Husband according to Isaiah 54:5. Help me see HIS LOVE for me as everlasting no matter what my past or present says. I want to see myself from Your perspective not my own. Open my eyes to see me. Open my ears to hear Your voice concerning me. Open my heart to understand what You are saying to me this day. I choose this day to believe in God's Words and Love for me.

QUESTIONS:

Did you know you could fall in love with Jesus?

 If yes, how did it happen for you? If no, why not? 

I pray something you read touched your heart to walk closer to God.

Isaiah 61:1

Hello Women of Valour,

Today is a BEAUTIFUL day even though it is cloudy and dreary outside! Inside I am just overjoyed that Our Father loves us the way that HE does. God sees us for who HE created each one of us to be. He also walks along with us through the pain, heartbreak, abuse, prisons, etc. HE picks us up when we fall down. HE shows us in very real and tangible ways that HE really does understand what we are going through. Even though, HE understands HE does not want us to stay there. The truth is there may be more storms in our lives than we can count. There may be more clouds than we want to see. But we are still here even though some may not want to be.

You are here because your life matters and YOU ARE A MIRACLE!!!

IT MATTERS

By Andrea Monroe

It matters that what you have been through did not kill you. 

It matters that being raised by imperfect parents you have still been able to achieve something. 

It matters that the feelings you had or have about yourself have not resulted in a successful suicide. 

It matters that you survived a miscarriage or abortion. 

It matters that your mother did not abort you. 

It matters that you are still here after sexual abuse. 

It matters that your self image was or is damaged but you still keep moving forward. 

It matters that food is an enemy to you but you continue to use a spoon or fork. 

It matters that your children was taken from you and you are angry but still pray for them. 

It matters that your boss is "off" but you still pray.

It matters that you may be living paycheck to paycheck but bills are still met.

It matters that you survived a divorce or going through one.

It matters that you are seemingly in a loveless marriage.

It matters that you are or have battled homosexual desires.

Each of these represent a storm/clouds in your life.

It depends on your perspective.

Your perspective and view is limited especially if it is negative.

BUT GOD  sees the entire perspective and view.

You are and never were a mistake.

You were always destined to be here 

God created you with a purpose and a plan.

YOU ARE A MIRACLE!!!  

Have you ever thought about the word "Miracle"? I had to look it up. According to Dictionary.com, Miracle means:

1. an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is subscribed to a supernatural cause.
2. such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.
3. a wonder; marvel.

You are a wonder and marvel to Your Creator. "You are a Miracle!" Well, if you have never heard it before. I am telling you today. YOU ARE A MIRACLE!!! I know it may not seem like it today or yesterday or even maybe tomorrow depending on what is happening in your life. But the miracle that is YOU is not dependent on what happens to or around you. The miracle was and is your very life given to you by God. It does not matter whether you believe it or not. But it is the TRUTH! We are waiting on our BIG Miracle but the Biggest Miracle of all is each one of us.

Just may ask, "How do you know this and why do you believe it? (Please keep reading)

BACKGROUND: I was walking down the hall of the preschool where I teach and passed the infant and toddler rooms. As I passed the rooms this week the Holy Spirit hit me with a thought. They start out as a baby and grow to be an adult without any skin being added. I started thinking about this and it did and is blowing my mind. My mind went every where. I teach advanced 4 and five year old children. They have grown and changed in 10 months. I was looking at pictures of them playing and learning at the beginning of the school year and they have changed so much. Their features have changed. They have gotten taller. Their speech has even changed. They do not shed their skin to change from year to year or even month to month. Neither do you. We are changing each and every day. Miracle!!!

There are 2 things that hit me:

1. The same Creator of the Universe took HIS time to create me. The universe is so vast that scientists are still learning and discovering new things. They are still learning and discovering new things about the human body inside and out.  
2. It was like the Holy Spirit opened up Psalm 139:13 - 17 and related it back to creation. I have and am seeing both of these passages in a new way that I had never experienced before. The same way God created everything in the universe in Genesis 1 with detail HE spoke and it was so. In Genesis 2 HE actually placed HIS hands on and in Adam to do surgery to create Eve. The same God who had spoken every thing into existence was now very personal and intimate with Adam and Eve. Now, HE made ALL the delicate and inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. 

Please hear the Holy Spirit through me Woman of Valour. The same God that was personal with Adam and Eve is the same God that wants to be personal with each one of us. We have to choose to let HIM. God loves you and I. HE does NOT have favorites. HE wants to heal us in our broken places and mend our broken hearts. HE wants to heal the wounds that have been inflicted upon us by others. HE also wants to heal the wounds we have inflicted upon ourselves by believing lies as the truth. HE wants us to live and walk in the freedom Jesus died to give us. 

Another thought just hit me which is John 3:16 - 17. 

For God so loved the world (Me) that HE gave 

HIS one and only Son (Jesus), so that everyone (Me)

who believes in HIM will not perish but have eternal life.

For God sent HIS Son (Jesus) into the world not to judge the world (Me),

But to save the world (Me) through HIM. (Emphasis added)

Jesus allowed HIS life to be given in exchange for yours and mine. We are the miracles. I have never experienced this verse from this perspective before. God uses Miracles to produce Miracles. Very profound statement but also very TRUE!!! IT MATTERS that out of our messes God brings miracles and out of the dust HE brings diamonds.

Woman of Valour, if you have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior and you do NOT see your self as a Miracle. I am praying right now that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see and your ears to hear and your heart to understand that YOU ARE A MIRACLE today!!!

MOTHER'S DAY: NO CHARGE

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about

YOU

experiencing your freedom in Christ, being set free,

experiencing the love of God, and opening your blinded eyes

Isaiah 61:1

WOMEN OF VALOUR!!!

Scripture:
Exodus 20:12 & Ephesians 6:2
Honor your Father and Mother...

Did you celebrate and honor your Mom this past weekend? Did you tell her you loved her? Did you show her that she means a great deal to you? Mothers come in many shapes and sizes. Mothers come from many different backgrounds. Mothers come with their own issues and baggage. Some are VERY loving and others are not. Some may have to be shown how to love you. Some may have to be shown how to give.  Some mothers you love and want them around you. Some mothers you may dislike. Some mothers you may want to disown. It just depends on the relationship. But the truth is: they are still your mothers. I saw and read alot of Facebook tributes this weekend and was able to post one of my own. I wonder how many were genuine? Are you still wearing the mask in this area? How many wish they could post something but just feel like it would be a lie? Well, whichever category you find yourself this post is dedicated to you. Keep reading.

This morning, the Holy Spirit had me listen to the song, No Charge. As I really listened to the lyrics of this song I began to weep. I started to see just how selfish I have been over the years in reference to my mother. I had to ask the Lord for forgiveness.

A thought process hit me: Every day is Mother's Day. Moms do not get a day off. The word Mother to me means "sacrifice". If she was in the house with you as you grew up, then she deserves a THANK YOU!!! She did alot of sacrificing for you and the family. It is easy to see and say what she did NOT do. The harder part is to look at what she did do just for you and the family. Your Mother and mine sacrificed her body, finances, time, and life for us. If you are a mother you know what it means. Hopefully, you are a better mother to your child/children because of your Mother's example. It does not matter if the example is good or bad. You can still learn what to do or what not to do. But it is a choice that only you can make. 

By watching the news, we understand that "time is very short". There are sooooo many parents losing children and children losing parents. This is happening each and every day. We do not know when the last day will be for us to see each other. So we must celebrate while we can each day to the FULLEST. We do not want to have a life full of more wasted days, weeks, months, or years in the relationship with our Mothers. We do not know the last time we will see our Mothers. They do not know when the last time they will see us. We have to celebrate them each and every day because this thing called LIFE is VERY PRECIOUS. 

I celebrated my Mother this weekend even though it was long distance. My Husband and I celebrated his Mom this past weekend. My Mother-in-law is a picture of a loving Mother. She loves and cares about her family. This is what her mother taught her. She has accepted me as her actual daughter. I call her Mom and she calls me her daughter. We do NOT like the term _______-in-law. We spent time with her and loved on her. During this time frame, I am sure she was also thinking about her Mom being in heaven since last month. (See tribute My Grandma: A Virtuous Woman) Mom has 4 sisters and they were all together this weekend. All of them feeling a loss while enjoying the love shown to each of them by their children. Then I thought about his/our cousin who left a father, husband, and daughter behind. (See Tribute Gone too Soon: Carolyn). 

Your Mother may not be perfect or even likable but she is the Mom God gave to you. Have you ever thought that God may have placed you in her life to show her the way? We want more sometimes from our Mothers than they may be equipped or prepared to give. In this case, pray and ask God to lead and guide you in ways to handle the relationship. Trust me when I say HE will because HE had to do it for my mother and me. 

God is ALWAYS GOOD and HE always will be. HE knew my messed up relationship with my Mother. So HE gave me other Mother's along the way to help shape and mold me into who I am today. Some of them are my Godmother, Supervisors, Parents of my students, etc. They saw and pulled things out of me that I did not or could not see for myself. The process is not over it just continues. If you think about it God has placed some special women around you as well. 

My mother was and is not perfect but I choose to love her for who she is and not for who I want her to be. I can continue to live in the land of shoulda, coulda, woulda but where would that get me. It would get me stuck in the same old “stinking thinking” as Joyce Meyer says. But I can also choose to meditate on something different today. I can choose to love my Mother just because GOD gave me to her. She made her choice to keep me and raise me. God in HIS AMAZING wisdom has allowed me to speak life into my Mother and her into me.

Although, I have heard this song many, many, many times before; it never HIT ME the way it did today. This means that the Holy Spirit has dug up the soil of my hard heart to hear what HE is saying to me. It is my prayer that as each of you listen to this song today that the Holy Spirit will use it as a tool to break up the soil in your hearts as well. I had to call my Mother and tell her THANK YOU for her sacrifice.

TESTIMONY: I used to think I was the only girl, young lady and now woman in the world with a messed up relationship with my Mother. I would always look at other girls, young ladies, and women with their Moms and I would get soooooo VERY jealous. I was mad at my Mother, myself, and even God.(see Forgiving Others and Forgive God posts) I am pleased to say that through the ups and downs of our relationship throughout my life God has built a relationship between us. I had all but given up. BUT GOD through my fiancee and now Husband's prayers accomplished what I could never seem to do. I can truly say today that I love my Mom and it is the absolute truth. There is no mask on me in this area any more. I AM FREE! 

There is a BIG problem we have to face. We want people to accept us with our flaws. But we don't want to accept our mothers with their flaws. God had to show me that she did and does love me. My problem was she did not show it the way I needed to see it. This may be where you are living and I understand it all to well. Your Mother has a background with baggage. There is probably some baggage that you could not carry if the roles were reversed. Does it seem like you clash at every turn? Does it seem like she just does not understand you? Let me tell you the enemy was and is having a field day with your turbulent relationship even today. 

I share the testimony to show that with God ALL things are possible. (Matthew 19:26) I also share to tell you that while there is breathe in your Mom's body God can and will fix it for you, too. Pray for restoration. If you have never had a real relationship with her then pray for God to build one. The enemy wants you to believe you are the only one that feels the way you do. It is a LIE! I know exactly how you feel. I lived and believed that same lie. 

There is something wrong with you. There is something missing in both of your lives. You need each other because this is why God gave you to each other. If the relationship cannot be restored for whatever reason. If after reading ALL of this. You still say there is no way. It is okay as well. God still loves you and has a plan for your life!!! 

NOTE: Don't follow my mistake which was I never stopped to ask God for help. I always tried to do this or that in my own strength to get her approval and attention. IF you can identify with any of this please know that God truly LOVES you and wants the best for you. HE has a plan for your life. But, as long as you live in isolation keeping it to yourself nothing will ever change. But start asking the HOLY SPIRIT to build or restore the relationship with your mother. If you are the mother ask the Holy Spirit to build or restore the relationship with your daughter. As long as there is breath; there is still time.

So what kind of Mother did you have growing up and even now? Whichever category you find yourself. Each of the mothers had to travel the same exact road. They were pregnant with you. They carried you inside of their bodies and chose not to abort you. They chose to keep you. Times may have been hard but they weathered the storms of life with you. They watched you grow while sometimes placing their hopes and dreams on and in you. Some may have even given up their dreams but kept you. Your mother displayed her love for you just by allowing her body to become a tunnel for you to get from heaven to this Earth.  

DON'T STAY A VICTIM; BECOME A VICTOR!!! 

Prayer: Holy Spirit help me love my mother the way You love her. Let me see her the way You see her. Please build/restore our relationship. Give me the words to speak. Open my eyes to see You. Open my ears to hear Your voice. Open our hearts to understand what You are saying to me concerning our relationship. Jesus, thank You for giving Your life for mine. Holy Spirit, thank You for being my Comforter and Teacher. I choose this day to believe in Your Love for both of us.

QUESTIONS:

Will you stay a victim or 
become a victor in this area?

 What are you willing to do differently?

As I was having my devotion time, I reflected back over this past week. There was an Our daily Bread Devotional on Thursday that has resonated with me. It is called An Amazing Love. (Please read it.) When I read it on Thursday. A song came to my mind: Amazing Love. I just sung the chorus and kept it moving. But today the song hit me as I read the devotional again. The video clip for this video is from the movie The Passion of the Christ. If you have not seen it please watch it. Here is the video for the song and clips from the movie:

Link to Video: https://youtu.be/3PFY3AdaOt4

I watched The Passion of the Cross movie 3 different times at the movie theater. The first two times I watched it I cried and cried as I watched him being beaten, carrying the cross, nailed to the cross, and hung on the cross. The third time was the charm. I cried the same way but this time as I watched him hanging on the cross. God showed me that HIS heart was hanging on the cross just for me. He showed me that HIS L-O-V-E was given for me.  I saw this video this morning and I still saw love hanging on the cross just for me.

Jesus was thinking about us on that day and at that moment as HIS Body was in the worst kind of pain imaginable. God thought about us before creation. He knew we were going to need to be saved, delivered, set free, and most of all LOVED! So, Our FATHER sent HIS only Son to save, rescue, deliver, set free, etc each one of us. HIS AMAZING LOVE IS for us individually and to be shared with others.

Prayer: Father, thank you for loving me the way that You do each and every day. Jesus, thank You for giving Your life for mine. Holy Spirit, thank You for being my Comforter and Teacher. I choose this day to believe in Your Love for me.

QUESTIONS:

Do you really believe that God loves you?

How do you really know that God loves you?

I pray something you read touched your heart to walk closer to God.
