Hello!

There are some moments that will pass you by and never return to you again! Enjoy your everyday life today and make the most of what you have!

Hello Ladies,
You may have wonedered where in the world have I disppeared to. Well, I am still here, busy as ever, but sill after all that God has for me. I have the best intentions to get my encouragement blog back to work. It has been interesting times between August and now. I have 3 kids keeping me busy, my husband started a new business, and I have had new opportunities. I started teaching Christian Release Time one day a week to 6th-8th grade girls. I hosted a Free to be Me Weekend for Women and was a speaker too. I attended an insearchofaprincess weekend for teen girls with Kimberly Powers. I still have my life, husbands, kids, family/friends and church in the equations too. Busy, Busy, Busy, but still no excuse not to write.

The whirlwind seems to be slowing down for now and I need to get a focus while it is slow. Do you ever feel that way? Kinda running by the seat of pants sometimes hoping to hit it right? In the midst of it all enjoy the journey. Some moments only come by once and they are gone. Don't let those good moments pass you by.

Drop me a line if you will and let me know how you are. I would love to hear from you.

Sweet blessings to you and Happy New Year!
Lesia

Amazing!!

You made me in an amazing and wonderful way... Psalm 139:14

Imagine with me for a moment the great God in heaven creating His children, His daughters. He thinks of all the daughters and creates them all so unique. He thinks of this daughter and decides that she will have brown hair and brown eyes. The next will be tall and have red hair. The next one will love to sing and dance. And as He creates, he looks back over His work and smiles at His creation. Can you see it? God created us all different and we are all unique. He created each of us with our own special DNA, personality, beauty, talents and even shortcomings! We are all unique and He is pleased with us.

Everything about us is a gift from God. He created us in an amazing and wonderful way, but the sad thing is that we often grumble about what God has created. We stand in the mirror and fuss; we compare ourselves to others and condemn never seeming to be pleased with what we see. Gals, I think we need to rethink this concept of not liking ourselves and focusing on our flaws. If God is pleased with what He created, and He is, then we need to change our attitude, mindset and words about ourselves. We need to begin to see ourselves as amazing and wonderful. When we realize whose we are and know the heart of the One who created us we can change. Then, we can finish Psalm 139:14 as praise to the Lord, "What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well" We can truly say we know this as a daughter of the King. We are made in an amazing and wonderful way; however, we must not talk the talk when we truly do not believe it.

Sadly, in the past I have not always seen myself in an amazing way. I had too many issues, flaws and weaknesses for God to call me amazing, beautiful or wonderful. However, God in His great love, grace and mercy reached down into my heart and saturated me with His love. In the midst of His love, He revealed TRUTH to me as a daughter of the King. The TRUTH he revealed to me changed me from the inside out. I could truly read Psalms 139:14 believing His Word and understanding it. I became grateful for me, and could praise Him for me!

My passion is to share this TRUTH with others just like me. I challenge you to think about "you" and the amazing gifts, talents, and special beauty that you have. Rejoice in knowing that God made you amazing and wonderful. Believe it, it is the TRUTH, and live it in an amazing and wonderful way as a daughter of the King!

Sweet blessings to you,

Relentless..

Some things to think on for today. This blog is for Relentless Women so I thought it would be a good day to think on the word "relentless". Relentless is defined as "never slackening, but continuing always at the same intense, never giving up," according to my computer dictionary. So let's make our relentless personal today.

R- Real
E- Excellence
L- Love
E- Extraordinary
N- Noble Character
T- Trustworthy
L- Life of Joy
E- Elegant
S- Strength
S- Special and unique
Can I be intense about the qualities above being evident in my life today?

Relentless to be like you, Jesus. May the qualities be evident in my life as I represent Jesus to others. May I have a relentless spirit, determined to follow and be more like Jesus everyday. Intensify us Lord in our walk with you as a relentless woman. In Jesus name.

Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:11-12

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3: 14

Relentless Women loving a Relentless Jesus!

Blessings to you!

Taste the sweetness...

This past weekend I attended the She Speaks Conference through Proverbs 31 Ministries. The weekend was awesome and unexplainable. It was a refreshing time to break away and learn more about His plan for me. I went to define my speaking and writing skills and I did do that, however, I got so much more. God joined me on purpose in a very sweet way. I felt as if I could melt in the arms of God! He was so melting my heart for His love even more. His presence and sweetness to me was sweeter than a Hershey's kiss melting in my mouth. A line from P31 Speaker Wendy Pope says it all, " I could take me a big ole' bite of me some Jesus!" Hmmm! That is how good and sweet Jesus was to His me and all His daughters. His presence was so sweet and tender as...

He spoke,

He loved,

He cared,

and He embraced His daughters and affirmed us in Him.

He defined and refined to be more like Him. He showed true purpose in writing and speaking and then released all his daughters to go and spread the message.

As the conference ended with hugs,tears and good bye's there was one common sense of peace. His sweetness and tenderness went with each of us. Just because the conference closed didn't mean that the sweet feeling of His love or His presence ended. We can taste and see that the Lord is good everyday right in our own home. He desires to lavish His love on His daughters and He is wild about us! I am all about my Jesus being wild about me! We can have the same melty, sweet experiences everywhere. He has a wild desire for us, however, we have to be wild about Him too. So, now renew the excitement to love on Jesus and indulge in a refreshing way tasting His sweetness. As His daughters, we must slow down from the busy schedules, the cooking, the kids and so forth to take time to experience the sweetness. Sometimes we miss it because we are so busy or have our own plans. The challenge is in the everyday walk of being close to a true love and that is taking the time to " taste His sweetness". The sweetness of Jesus will leave us forever changed.

So, may I leave you with this... God desires to lavish His love on you. He desires to hold you and tenderly love you. He desires to lead you and show you the way you should go everyday, every second. I would love to share my sweet, tender Jesus with you. He is the love of my life and He knows how to make my heart melt. He will melt your heart too. Will you invite Jesus in and taste of His sweetness?

Dear Sweet Jesus, Thank you that you lavish your love on us, your daughters. May you melt our hearts in the sweetest way as you draw us closer to you. Allow us to taste and see the goodness of the Lord every day and every second. May each of the ladies reading this experience you Jesus, and may she come to know how sweet, faithful and lovable you are. In Jesus name.

Sweet blessings,

Lesia

Sweet verses to indulge on:

How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalms 119: 103

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1a

Psalms 34:8, Psalms 45:11

Show me how to manage the whirlwind!

Good morning ladies!

I write to you today with a heart of excitement and renewal. It is a new day in the Lord and I am excited. This summer has been crazy, but it has been a lot of fun. In keeping up with three kids it is a whirlwind of fun, sibling rivalry quarrels and something new everyday. They keep me busy! I have been overwhelmed with entertaining kids, trips to the pool and the normal everyday stuff that still has to go on. This morning in my prayer time I asked God for order!God has to be in control or my whirlwind will turn into a damaging tornado that will reek havoc on my life if I am not keeping God as the first priority. I need him to show me the way to guide my whilrwind!

My verse for today is Psalms 25: 4-5, Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation: On you I will wait all day.

My goodness! What a great truth and revelation for today. God show me your way, so that through my whirlwind of life I walk in your steps. He is forever teaching me in the little things as I go through day to day. How about you? Did you have your morning coffee today? Do you have a plan that includes God? I have to admit so many times I can have my prayer time and then hit the day running hard only to reach about mid day frazzled and frustrated. Why is that? Often times our morning prayer times can be routine. Check that off the list and move on to what is next. However, I have learned great lessons by inviting Him in my day, while I do laundry, wash dishes, referee the sibling rivalries, and make trips to the pool. I am the woman who can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan all while I multitask and control the world! NOT!! We think we are Superwoman sometimes, but we have to stop and say okay, God show me your way and your truth about life just for today. When we do that the daily grind becomes a PEACE of cake with our favorite icing! So for today, I want the PEACE of cake and icing too, that God has to offer when I put Him first and include in my life. I am excited to indulge in all that He has for me in my whirlwind of life. If I put Him first I will make it through the frazzled times with peace.

Can you be renewed in Him today and be excited about He has to offer you? The challenge is don't just include Him in your morning, but in all that you do for today. Include Him and allow Him to show you the way and enjoy your PEACE of Cake!!!

Sweet Blessings,
Lesia
