Sistergurls!

Today was a good day!!!Woke up this morning and thoughts just rush me…… I want to figure out why do my thoughts try to take over my God time in the morning? LOL The first thing I want to say is Good Morning Lord!!! Thank you for waking me up 🙂

I had a wonderful day at work. First day back and my co-workers missed me. Everybody had a personal story to tell me. I  just love them.

It’s about time, I start realizing that I am a Leader. I don’t give myself enough credit… why I don’t know. I really don’t. A few weeks ago, I started my Women’s Group on-line called Sistergurls. It’s very private with over 30 members . I had each person to introduce themselves by stating how they know me. Oh, I cried. I have 2 friends that has been knowing me for over 30 years. Wow, and the words they spoke….blew me away. Sometimes you feel that you are not worthy, and you feel as if you’re not reaching people, and really, they are listening. They hear me, they remember everything. And I see that now. When I was in Atlanta, it was so quiet in the group. Only a few people held it down, but when my presence is there, they come out the basements. LOL That tells me a lot about who I am. They are listening, they are reading, they do care, they do want to learn, they do want to know more about God. They do……… And I understand that I may have to “get the party started” daily, but that’s okay……. Lord just give me the strength and let me be consistent in doing so.This is so scary for me. I have always held group meets in my home, out to dinner, but not lately……..how bout in 7 years ago when I first moved in this house.

When I first moved here, I was laying in my couch and went to sleep when I saw my living room filled with Women. We we talking and praying, learning from each other, sharing testimonies and everything. That inspired me to have my ” A Virtuous Woman” dinner gathering in 2004. I was so nervous, but it turned out so nice. That passion is back for me. I have to learn to pull back on my comments ON THE SITE, I can beat you up with my comments, but I wouldn’t mean any harm by it. LOL Lord, help me in that area. LOL HELP ME!!! Each one knows me personally, so they know how I am.

This probably explains the fascination I have about people in Leadership. I watch them and study them closely. When I’m out to dinner, and the people I’m with are busy talking, I’m watching all the people who are Leaders. I watch the waitress, the managers, the cooks, receptionist, UPS men, postal workers, everybody. I watch everyone. I enjoy seeing the decisions they make. I like to see them in challenging situations, and difficult moments. I’m always looking at ways to learn and improve myself. When we were at the Cheese Cake Factory in Atlanta, the waiter guy was so cute and so friendly. Oh, my goodness he was very attentive to us. I wanted to see how he reacts to random things. So I  looked at him, changed my voice and said………. “I was Joan of Ark in my former days”( Coming to America) LOL He laughed and said “Oooooh okay”! Priceless!!! We couldn’t stop laughing, even he was cracking up.

Tonight in our group the topic was about having Sex before  MARRIAGE, and what the Bible says: I wrote: Okay ( persons name), let me challenge your thinking for a minute….. Lets say, you say Lord, I’m holding out on sex until marriage, IM DOING IT YOUR WAY, any other way WOULD BE MY WAY…….THEN… See MoreYou meet a guy, he wants to wait, and you want to wait… Then you both get married, and the sex is not what you think it should be.Would you…… Leave the marriage because of the disappointment?
or
Would you put it in God’s hands , pray consistently about it, and depend on God to make it 100?

Or you can always…….

Do it (person’s name) way…… and

Test the waters of a potential guy, have good sex while dating.

After seeing it broken down like this, would you change your thinking?

One reason God tells us to honor marriage and keep the marriage bed pure has to do with baggage. We carry baggage into our sexual relationships. Memories from the past, emotional scars and unwanted mental images can defile our thoughts and make the marriage bed less than pure. Certainly God can forgive the past, but that doesn’t mean we’re free from the baggage that can linger in our minds.
