How to Effectively Disallow Fears from Taking Over

personal development Mar 03, 2020

Did you know that fear is debilitating? It can totally ruin your day or even, in some cases, your life! Fear is an emotion, and while sometimes it is very valid and can help preserve your life, there are other times it must be faced and dealt with to be free.

 

Here are some practical strategies you can use to overcome your fears:

 

  1. Do you know your fears? If you can identify them, you are off to a good start. Can whatever you fear hurt you? Begin to conquer your fears by determining if they are rational or irrational.

 

  • When you fear things that cannot harm you in any way, you are acting with irrational fears. In reality, there is not anything to fear there. But it sure is easier said than done!
  • When they can hurt you, then there is justification in your fears. In this case, you can work out a backup plan that affords you some level of comfort.

 

  1. What do other women do? Whatever your fears are, someone else has experienced them as well. Search out women who share y

Nourishing Your Body And Spirit With God’s Great Wisdom

health Mar 02, 2020

 

In today’s health-conscious culture, we are constantly bombarded with information about what to eat, how to lose weight, and the latest diet trends. As Christian women, it can be easy to get swept up in the world’s view of nutrition. However, adopting a Truth Mindset means aligning our approach to food and nutrition with God’s wisdom rather than society’s ever-changing standards.

God’s Word guides us on how to care for our bodies, including what we eat and how we steward our health. Proper nutrition is more than a physical act—it is a form of stewardship where we honor God by nourishing the bodies He gave us. Through a Truth Mindset, we can make choices that lead to health, wholeness, and spiritual vitality.

 

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." — 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)

This verse reminds us that we are called to glorify God even in everyday activities like eating and drinking. Our nutrition choices can reflect our desire to ...

A Christian Makes Quality Time for Jesus on the Job

spirituality Mar 01, 2020

If you accept Jesus as your LORD and Savior, you promise to give Him your whole life - all aspects of it. As a Christian, your workplace is not just where you do a job. It is a ministry that Jesus has called you to do for His kingdom. No matter what type of work Jesus calls you to perform, it is essential that you bring prayer, as Jesus did, into your daily walk with Him.

Taking faith to your workplace also means you seek to please God in your decision-making rather than other people. We believe in a risen Lord. Jesus is present among us. When we represent him, verbally or non-verbally, we introduce someone to the risen Christ.

 

Make Time for Jesus at Work

Matthew 28:19-20 says: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus expressed these words to His disciples ...

Affirmation: I Can Learn From the Differences I Have with Others

affirmations Feb 29, 2020

Differences are part of the Creator’s gift. I am so appreciative that I have been given a unique set of skills. When I think about the talents of others, I am grateful that there are so many differences in the world.

 

Even when I disagree with other’s thoughts or actions, I do not take these differences personally. I am glad some people experience the world in a way that is different from mine. This lets people see solutions that might be hard to recognize or contribute ideas that might not have entered my mind.

 

Because people are so unique, our world is a better place. How dull would it be if everyone and everything in this world were identical? When I think about that, I can find the great beauty in the world today.

 

I see myself as a kid coloring an image. Instead of filling all the lines in one color, I use the whole crayon box to draw inside and outside the lines. Every color and shade, however distinct, enhances more depth to the picture. Through choice and differences,...

You'll Build Strong, Ironclad Relationships Using Encouragement and Edification

relationships Feb 28, 2020

As Christian women, relationships are central to our lives, whether with family, friends, colleagues, or fellow believers. These connections provide support, strength, and a sense of belonging, especially when rooted in faith.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV), we are given a clear instruction: "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do." This verse serves as a beautiful reminder of the importance of encouraging and strengthening one another in our daily walk with Christ.

Relationships that offer comfort and edification can be a true blessing in a world filled with challenges, uncertainties, and negativity. Let’s explore how we can apply this principle in our relationships, ensuring we live out God’s command to lift each other and build stronger, faith-centered connections.

The Value of Saying the Same Thing Many Ways

People learn and take in information in numerous ways. While some people love reading, others would rather listen. Some enjoy seeing things via illustrations, while others want a personal experience to feel something before they truly understand them.

 

The classic four learning styles are:

  • Audio
  • Kinesthetic
  • Verbal
  • Visual

 

Generating compelling content works best when you find a way to say the same thing in many ways, appealing to each learning style. Sending a message through various channels makes it easier to reach all types of learners and easier to put out additional content with less effort.

 

An advertising rule called the Seven Times Factor describes how viewers need to see an ad seven times before truly observing it. People need to observe a message more than seven times to remember it. This means you need to adopt the value of saying the same thing in several approaches.

 

You can use the same compelling content again and again.

You may well feel like a brok...

5 Fun and Easy Ways to Get Out of a Rut

personal development Feb 25, 2020

I don't know about you, but there are times when I feel less than fine. Low, grouchy, fed-up, and bored are the words I use to describe what I am like on those days, and I am almost certainly not the greatest company. The thing is, times like those are part of being human – it is not an elective. There will always be off days, and that is all right.

 

But what happens after you get a whole string of those off-days, maybe lasting weeks, months, or even years?

Too many women say that they are in a rut, feel stuck, fed-up, or bored and admit that they do not want things to be that way. But we do not know what to do to change. That is the problem. When you are in a rut, you do not have the strength or motivation to shift things for the better. And it is hard to find the insight or resources you must to do that jump.

 

Here are things to do right now to climb, or better yet, leap, out of the rut:

 

  1. Do things differently

Life has a tendency to run smoothly after we establish syst...

God Does What Is The Best For You

spirituality Feb 23, 2020

God can do all things. No purpose of God fails. There are times when this is a complicated truth to acknowledge. In particular, when you are praying for what seems to be in line with His will.

 

You are not advancing the request like putting a coin in a vending machine. You realize that God has the free choice to say “no”. You recognize this truth.

 

But you are praying for what you know based on Scripture to be His will. Perhaps you are asking God to restore your marriage or to deliver your spouse from alcoholism. Maybe you are begging Him to heal your child from a horrible disease.

 

The God that we serve does not speak without then acting. If God reveals that He will do something, He surely will. However, years or even decades may pass with God repeatedly saying no to your request. There are countless reasons why He denies us something we truly want.

 

From time to time, it is to grow your faith, such as with Joseph. Genesis 50:20 KJV tells us that, after more than a decade ...
