Beautiful Divas Serving A Beautiful God
When Love is a One-Night Stand
When I was younger I couldn't understand what women wanted. Feminism told them to be independent, to have careers and lovers. But their instincts told them to get married and have children. I am 39, twice divorced, childless and could not understand why it is so difficult for me to find Mr Right. |
Wisdom is knowing……….
Your are So Precious
Worry is not for a Diva like you
There's One who truly
cares for you.
He feeds birds which never sow
(imagine, the way you try)
So will He feed your desires
for what you need to come into your life
(that honors Him)
(peace,joy,healing, spouse,finances)
And so will He clothe you
more elegantly than lilies
He will cover your nakedness
(physical, shame, failure)
God just needs you to focus on Him
Steadfastly believe He will
Seek Him first and what you need to come
into your life and
what you need covered
will be given to you.
GIVEN! GIVEN!
How we handle conflict in our relationships determines whether the dating relationship or marriage will survive. Back in Kenya, I knew pastors who would not marry a couple unless they had fought once or more in their courtship. They were determined to establish that couples knew how to handle inevitable conflict that would arise in the relationship. Fighting is normal and a healthy part of relationships - how we fight however, makes the difference.
The other day just as we sat down for dinner my nine year old daughter began laughing like she does when she remembers a funny incident that happened earlier. “Can you imagine God walking down a cat walk” she asked me through her laughter. I was just about to chastise her for having such irreverent thoughts when she explained her question by asking another question. “Why do we say that God is beautiful if we have never seen Him, and if it is Jesus we are talking about, won’t we say he is handsome not beautiful’.
