Hello Hello Hello Women of Valour,

It has been a LLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time since I have written anything.

But I just have to share this in written form to help me process my day today. Hopefully and prayerfully it will help you all as well as I share. 

It hit me this morning that EVERYTHING starts with a thought. You might say DUH!!! 

But it hit me that my thoughts turn into my actions and many times non actions! My thoughts sometimes paralyze me from acting on them. BUT NOT TODAY!!!

Let me back track a little.

So this morning I woke up and the thought hit me to go to the gym. I recently started working out...again!!! (Yeah I know I hear you saying...me too)

So instead of me giving myself excuses. I just got dressed and went. I actually enjoyed my time on the treadmill. There were only 5 people in the gym with me at 7:00am on a Saturday. 

Funny thing happened I was able to accomplish some things:

•  My Saturday Motivation Facebook Live Saturday Motivation - Limitations 
• I was able to walk 3 miles 
• I was able to read the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to show me things I had not seen in Scripture or even within myself.

Say with me...keep reading:

Within our WOV Closed Group, We are reading Understanding Your Potential by Myles Munroe. This book, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are taking me on a brand new journey that I did not even know I signed up for. 

Have you ever been there? I hear you saying...Yeah, Yes, and Yep!!! Keep reading... 

Two things stuck out to me today that Myles Munroe says in the book. 

1) You cannot climb beyond the limitations of YOUR OWN BELIEF!!!

I realized today that I took a step forward toward wholeness and healing within my mind and body. I chose to ACT on the thought that popped into my mind. I did not give an excuse which is what I have done in my past. I chose to act. While on the treadmill I started thinking about how I can make exercising a part of my everyday routine.

You can do this too! It is a mindset shift which starts with a thought then action which will bring results then REPEAT!!!

Thought + Action = Results I did not allow my feelings to come into play because then I would not have taken the action required to get the results.  #WOVourthoughtsmatter

Can I tell you in that moment the Holy Spirit began to download a plan to me on just how easy it would be to implement this plan. I am EXCITED because it is sooooooo simple. My thought now has an ACTION PLAN to get it done and produce results. 

2) God created EVERYTHING with potential!!!

Today as I thought about this concept I thought about the seed that Myles keeps saying a seed has a tree inside of it with fruit and seeds and another tree with fruit and seeds and it keeps multiplying. But all you see is the seed. 

Can I tell you that my thought was a seed today that became an action (tree) and produced results (fruit). This will produce more seeds and so on. 

You can do this too!!!! yes i am talking to you!!! 

This means in any and every area of your life!!! Relationships, finances, spiritual, exercise, mental, etc. Set a goal and go after it.

• Exercise starts with one thought then a step
• Healing a relationship starts with one thought then a word with the person
• Budgeting starts with a thought and writing out your bills
• Reading the Bible starts with a thought and reading one verse
• Prayer starts with a thought and a word with God

I challenge you to try this in your life today!!! 

I still would have done the Saturday Motivation and Spent time in the Word but not walked 3 miles. 

Today is a WIN WIN WIN day!!!

Enjoy your God Blessed Day!!!

Let me know how this works out for you! Drop a comment or email!!!

Prayer: Lord, Help me to not only think about positive things but help me act on them as well. Download answers to my daily issues and problems that I can actually walk out practically in my life. Thank you for bringing and leading me to people that can help me along my journey for accountability sake. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Have my thoughts been getting in my way of 

making true good changes in my life?

Why have I allowed them to stop me?

I love you BUT GOD loves you 

more and more and more 

than your finite mind can ever comprehend!!!

Who do you THINK you are?

SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL TRUTH

When I came across this little picture it resonated with me. It is the scripture Proverbs 23:7: As a man thinks so it he.

Has anyone ever asked you this question : 

Who do you think you are?

That question  used to bother me greatly because I did not KNOW who I was and I did not KNOW what to think of me except bad things. It seemed to ALWAYS be introduced or followed by an attitude from the person asking the question. I was NEVER a threat to anyone. I just wanted to be left alone because I was never any value added to any situation or conversation. 

Have you ever felt or thought this way about you?

Well, join the club. You are NOT the only one!

I am writing to let you know that this is NOT the end of your story. It is Only a part. A part that can be overcome by learning to speak and think differently about you!!!

Jesus Christ has done His part by giving His life as the Ultimate sacrifice. He wants to continue by walking with each one of us through the process. Therefore our participation is required. 

First step make a decision that YOU want to change. You are no longer satisfied with the status quo of your life. The key in both  sentences is Y-O-U!!! You have to make an investment in You! God already has by sending HIS one and only Son, Jesus the Christ.

Let's be clear I am talking about internal change. 

* You are the executive or leader but you feel unloved or you do not deserve to be or belong where you are or you feel insignificant even though on the outside you seem to have everything together. There is something missing. Who are you really?

*You are the one who has always barely scaped by or had just enough because this was what your Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, etc did and you believe this is all there is for you. So you are stuck trying to feel the void within you. You are dealing with feelings of being unloved, you don't feel accepted or you don't belong. You don't deserve more. You are insignificant in your eyes and everyone's around you.

If either of these scenarios are stepping on your toes then you are dealing with an identity crisis. Are you ready to make an investment in you!!! 

So, if this post resonates with you leave a comment or email me at womenofvalour15@gmail.com and we can walk through together into Your breakthrough!

You are loved!

You are accepted!

You are significant!

Good News for the bruised and wounded

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

God wants us to know that we are indeed:

• loved
• accepted 
• significant 

It was sooooo important that HE had it written in a book called the Bible!

You may have been bruised, cut, and/or wounded but you are still loved. You may be laying in, crawling or walking through the middle of your wound(s). You will have trials and sorrows (John 16:33) But this is NOT the end of  your story only a part of it. HE being Jesus has overcome/conquered the world. This includes your bruises, cuts, and wounds!!! Choose to get up by taking HIS Hand. He is offering it to you right now!

Today, you may have more questions than answers as to "why" this or that. I do not know or have the answers but I do know the ONE who does! HIS Name is Jesus the Christ!

Have you made the choice to accept Jesus as Your Savior? If the answer is no. You can today. Have you chosen to follow and then allowed life and/people to get in your way. Then today choose to get back up and walk to and with HIM.

You can choose to plug in for the first time or plug in again to the Power Source! Pray the simple prayer under the picture!

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, was crucified, 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. I choose to get up today and walk to and with You as You lead and guide me. In Jesus' Name Amen. 

NOTE: If you prayed the prayer to accept or rededicate your life to the Lord Jesus please share it with someone. Be EXCITED about your choice because heaven is celebrating you.  Do not keep it a secret. God loves you and I do too!

QUESTIONS:

Do you know you are really loved? 

How do you know?

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

Fear keeps us stuck! 

What are you stuck in that you want to get out of? 

Instead of telling yourself that "I can't" begin to tell yourself that 'I can.'

ON PURPOSE WITH A PURPOSE

Hello Hello Hello,

Today is Father's Day!!! Another special day set aside to celebrate our Father's and/or Dads. What does your day look like today? Are you...

• Celebrating with your Dad at home or a restaurant
• Missing your Dad because he has entered eternity (like mine)
• Missing your Dad because he does not remember you or your name (Alzheimer/Dementia)
• Angry at your Dad because he was and is absentee in your life
• Bitter because you never received closure 

Wherever you find yourself today just know that you are here on purpose. You are and were NEVER a mistake. I don't care what your mother, father, grandma, grandpa, etc says about your conception.

  You are here today on purpose and with a purpose.

As I thought about this today and this post I began to ponder the question:

What is the difference between a father and a dad? So, when we have questions we often ask Google. Right? I did not really expect an answer but was surprised when I did.

This was what Google said:
"There is a huge difference between what makes a father and what makes a dad. A father is someone who believes that by donating his sperm for your creation, he has done his duty in life. ...To me, there is no greater man than a dad." Here is the article Click here

This Father's Day I am missing out on my Father and my Dad. Both have entered eternity.

As I look back over both of their lives I cannot allow the decisions that were made to overshadow who I am and who I was created to be.

Hope you are enjoying your Daddy today and everyday!

If he has entered eternity, enjoy your beautiful memories!

Love you all but Daddy God loves you even more than your finite mind can ever comprehend!!!

Prayer: Lord, thank you in advance for the lives of ALL fathers today! Let us see ourselves as You have created each one of us on purpose with a purpose! Help us renew our minds to see that You have never and will never create an accident where Your children are concerned. Open our eyes to see, open our ears to hear your voice speak to us, and open our hearts to understand and believe it as our truths. In Jesus' Name!!! Amen
