I found myself weeping as I listened to an incredible teaching by Norma Savaris regarding the “Hidden Women of Valor.” This was not only because I was convicted that I had minimized who I was in God’s eyes but because God was clearly speaking, redefining my identity to that as one who was a woman of valor. (To listen to her teaching go to www.GloryofZion.com before Jan 5/20 it...

One of the biggest lies about God that I have been working on for what feels like eternity; is that God won’t be there for me especially when my back is up against a wall. My feelings scream “God won’t help me. I will have to do it myself.” The bible says otherwise.

Depending on who has the loudest voice that day, is the voice that wins; sad to say it is often my...

Three women started out on a journey together. Life had been hard and had dealt them all a death blow; having all lost spouses. This commonality was not enough to keep them on the pathway of life together.

When given an invitation to turn back to the familiar, the first turned back and was never heard from again. Two continued on, the younger refusing to leave, partnering instead with the older...

If you are not going full steam ahead, what is stopping you from doing so? In this blog I talk about my process but I only do this to give you some ideas as to what might be hindering you.

For many decades I use to be stopped from going forward by my inability to receive help. I was taught not to take gifts “handouts” from others, but only to be the one extending a helping hand. I...

Stop walking around like an apology. See yourself as God sees you. Drop the old image that you are totally worthless and will never make it; that life is too hard and you will never break out of the rut.

God is showing me a super hero outfit underneath your ordinary garb. You are a mighty warrior! See yourself as one. Come into agreement with God’s truth.  Let go of your current...

Many people wonder why God feels so distant. The short answer: there is an emotional disconnect at the heart level. When you were a child things happened and relationally you shut down in self protection mode both vertically (God) and horizontally (people.) This same self defense mechanism, unless healed, then followed you into adulthood.  

 Lies such as “the world...

Too often we look to others to validate us, but the truth is it needs to start with you validating you first. By acknowledge you first; you are then reinforcing the belief that you have value and worth.

When you look to others first, you give your power away and place your value and worth in their hands. This then puts you on a roller coaster ride dependent on whether they validate or...

I use to be a “stuffer” disconnected from my deep seated emotions. Initially how I was dealing with them appeared to work. I was this lovely calm woman that was able to emotionally handle everything that came my way.

The ineffectiveness of how I was dealing with my emotions only surfaced when my body went into a major health crisis about thirty years later, resulting in long term...

Stuffing or lashing out never helps your pain to fully go away. So what gives? The fact is if it still rears its ugly head, you have an indicator that it has not been dealt with in a healthy manner. All you have done is bury it; gone, out of mind but not out of body or emotions.

Think of a car warning light coming on, same thing. You can ignore it and deny that there is a problem, but the...

When a car engine isn’t working properly you can hear it; that is if you know what a good motor sounds like. It is the same for a stringed instrument. The strings need to be adjusted to be in harmony with one another, but often a person has to “learn” what this sounds like, and it takes training.

So in life, what is your ear trained to listen for? Does it know the sound of a...
