"Don't confuse God's patience, with HIS final decision."

Sharing Scriptures

I have always enjoyed God's word. My Mother and Grandmother have told many stories of me and my little bible. They said I would take it everywhere!Lol! I was an early reader, (4 years old) and have always enjoyed the appearance of books, the smell of books, and just how exciting words can be. I'm a true book lover and I guess it's safe to say the first book I fell in love with was the bible. When I was younger I was taught to memorize certain scriptures, (Psalm 23 was my first) and let the bible guide me through life. I can be honest in saying there were some points in my life where I disobyed the "word" but through my faith in God, he led me right back to what I've always known. For that reason, I am very proud to be a Christian and love to share God's word. In fact, I don't think I would be a Virtuous woman if I didn't.  "Wherever God has placed you, he can use you to speak his truth-words of love, justice, and faith to a lost world-even if it means being misunderstood or ridiculed. Yes, it may be difficult and you may be weary; but, sister, never tire of doing what is right." (2 Thessalonians 3:13)
 I say all of that to say this to my readers...


I WANTED TO JUST RUN SOMETHING PASS YOU, SINCE I ADMIRE YOUR FAITH AND HONESTY....SO LET'S SAY ONE OF YOUR KIDS WERE REALLY ILL AND YOU HAD TO MAKE A HUGE DECISION ABOUT THEIR HEALTH ISSUE...YOU SEND OUT AN EMAIL BLAST REQUESTING PRAYER FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS....I RESPOND W/LOVING WORDS, PRAYER AND SHARE MY OWN EXPERIENCE W/MY CHILD, W/YOU AND REFER YOU TO A SCRIPTURE (ROMANS 10:14) THAT I FELT GOD LEAD ME TO WHEN I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT MY CHILD'S HEALTH CONCERNS. THE SCRIPTURE TO ME AT THE TIME, SENT A MESSAGE OF HOW I CAN TAKE THIS ALONE TIME WITH  MY CHILD TO SPEAK TO HER ABOUT GOD, TO REMIND HER OF HIS EVERLASTING LOVE, TO SHOW HER THE WAY, TO TELL HER TO BE THANKFUL, HUMBLE AND TO KNOW THAT...YES, JESUS LOVES HER.THE ACTUAL SCRIPTURE READS:

¹⁴ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

HOW WOULD YOU INTERPRET THIS SCRIPTURE FOR THIS SITUATION AND WOULD I OFFEND YOU?

I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE AND APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT ON THIS. THANKS, BE BLESSED!

Family First

By definition family means: A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household.

Many women are inspired by family members who don't live under the same roof as them, and spend more time indulging in reading about, watching or gossiping about what the next woman is doing instead of really taking care of their own home.

I decided to blog about this to kindly remind us ladies that home is where the heart is. I've been around some women who have constant complaints about their husbands or their children, etc. It is very important to take care of home and your family, or they may have complaints of their own.

 We as women carry the world on our shoulders and sometimes don't get the rest we should or the recognition we deserve. However, it is still important to love, nurture, cook, clean, inspire, encourage, care, support, teach and pray for you family. No matter what size your family is, keeping your home close to your heart is the key to true success and you will be blessed.

*Here are a few inspirational scriptures regarding family:

Ephesians 6:1-2

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"--which is the first commandment with a promise--

Proverbs 11:29

He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise

Proverbs 31:15-17

She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
