Know Your Body

The word says that, "All things work together for the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28), and I believe that firmly! If it weren't for PMS, I may have gone through life letting the inappropriate behavior of others just roll off my back. But because the difficulties of life were amplified during certian times of the month, it moved me to cry out to God and seek his help, healing and change in others but especially in myself. There's not too much worse than acting like an idiot rather than a loving wife, mom or friend.

Beauty Tip: Spend time in fasting and prayer each week.

Physically Beautiful

What is beauty? A question many of us women try to answer in the way we look, our physical appearance.

While driving home from the dentist today, a 40 mile trek that I really enjoy, I began thinking about the word beautiful. And, as often happens, my mind began to wander. I've been asked by many people, mostly men, when will I write a book for men? Before I can answer, the next question usually pertains to the title: will it be called Man Handsome? So, today, my mind bounced from the word beauty to the word handsome. Although handsome is a fine word, I believe it would be less captivating than the title I've decided on. The word beautiful, on the other hand encompasses every character trait, attribute and physical appearane we women want to possess; in every area of our lives. Beautiful is often used to describe food, music, something visual, an attitude, a phrase spoken, even a memory. Beauty far surpasses our physical appearance. It includes everything about us: personality, appearance, internal wellness, relationships, our home and attitude. Woman, you truly are beautiful, believe it!

Actually, I am currently working on a book for men and it is entitled, Sex, Submission and Spirituality, The Things Men Really Need To Know. (A book for men written from a woman's perspective.) Without exception, I get a very positive response from both men and women. Both genders are eager to read this next book.

Woman Beautiful, delight in the beauty of our Creator. It is in His amazingly beautiful image that you have been fashioned.

Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him. Psalm 45:11

Eating For The Right Reasons

The main eating problems with American people today are that we eat for the wrong reasons and we don't stop until we're stuffed. I can remember the day God revealed this to me about myself. I was crying alligator sized tears in my plate while shoveling the food in. Food does comfort, but it is artifical and temporary comfort at best.
