Have it YOUR way. Do YOU. It's all about YOU. Whatever makes YOU happy.
- If I'm attracted to someone, why not have sex with them? Hey I live once, I'm going to ENJOY myself...shoot it's my body, my life, my business.
- So what if I have a few drinks and get a little high...everyone else is doing it.
- And what's the big deal if I watch a little porn...it's not hurting anybody.
- Yeah I know I'm married but my spouse is unsupportive and so distant and this guy at my job makes me feel so special...don't I deserve to feel special?
It's a "Do Whaaaatever makes YOU feel good" society that we live in. But how many of you know we will NEVER, EVER, EVER reap God's blessings and favor living in complete and utter disobedience to His Word. Abraham inherited the promise by his willingness to obey God, as difficult as it was. Many of you will disagree with this message but that's okay because if you're convicted by it...it's an opportunity for you to check your life and make the proper adjustments. We want the blessings but also want to live sloppy and disobedient to God. IT'S NOT HAPPENING. Sure God's mercy is available to us but let's not take advantage of His goodness by living a life of perpetual sin. His Grace is available to empower us to abstain from sin but in order to access that power we really have to want it and stay wrapped up in the things of God. We can't hang in the bar on Thursday, get high on Friday, sleep around on Saturday, head to church on Sunday... and wonder why God's not answering our prayer on Monday.
Get mad if you want to... but it is what it is...
Disobedience to God's Word will continue to block His blessings but a life of obedience will always open the door for the blessings to flow in your life. The choice is ours....
"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome." (1 John. 5:3)

Ladies, I think back on every man I've been in a relationship with, particularly the ones I gave my heart, my love, my body, to, and I consider...WHERE OH WHERE are these people now? It's amazing how we get so deceived by the ways of the world and completely reject God's ways. I spent many years living like the world, doing relationships like the world, thinking like them, behaving like them - because truth be told, I was one of them. When in a relationship, it seemed the natural next step was to be intimate. Right? Well, it depends on who you ask....
One day, somewhere, somehow, I heard about something called... ummmhh... fornication! Forni-who? Fornication - the act of engaging in sex outside the covenant of marriage. Wooooooooow... you mean having sex with a man I'm dating exclusively is wrong?! According to the world, not at all, but according to the word of God... dead wrong.
But even after realizing this, I strugggggggggled in a relationship with a man I just adored. I mean, this man was a girl's dream, the chemistry between us was explosive on every level, and his constant attempts to get me in his bed were proving to be too much for this girl who was trying to live for God! I had to make a choice. I was hurting and ashamed. Ultimately, I chose God. Today, I am completely abstinent and commit to be until the day I say I do to my boo boo...and then it's on and popping!!! lol.
In all seriousness, I see a father's heart and love in His instructions to His children to abstain from sex outside of a covenant, committed, relationship with someone who is in it for life not just a season. Seriously sisters, where are these men we have given our treasures to? In most cases, we have no clue...but we do know where our God is. He has always been and will always be there. I encourage all of us single women of God to make a commitment to obeying His word...His love letter to His babies :-).

Ladies, no matter where you are today or what you have been through, God still loves you and you are still precious in His sight. I know often we let our past mistakes, as well as the opinions and mis-treatment from others, determine our value, but the truth is that our true value is not determined by anything other than what our creator has said about us. If you have struggled with guilt, shame, low self esteem, an inferiority complex, abuse, neglect, or any other issue that has limited your view of yourself - this is the place to come fellowship with other women who are on the same path to FINDING THEIR TRUE WORTH...IN CHRIST ALONE.
Here, we will share our struggles, our issues, our losses, our victories, our acquired wisdom, to help encourage, strengthen, and inspire one another to victory in every area of our lives, ultimately becoming the women God created us to be.
WELCOME to PMBT (Put me back together) Lord....for ONLY He can!!!
