Heart of a Woman Ministries

I have struggled with trying to get down to a size” good” for the past 10 years.  I have made several attempts at losing weight.  I would always start off good and then by the third day I was headache-y, tired, and frustrated with trying to win the battle of the bulge. My friend is a certified nutrition coach and had been approached by a fellow church member about an approach to losing weight.  Therefore, she called me and we started brainstorming and looking on the internet and came across Diet.bet.com.  Dietbet’s premise is as follows:  someone organizes a diet bet, set’s the amount of the pot ($10 and up), advertises it, people join and for four weeks, the participants are to lose 4% of their body weight in a matter of four weeks. It is Day 7 and I have lost 3 pounds and I need to lose another four to be included in the winner circle.  I see why people attempt the challenge of losing weight to find themselves falling off the wagon (thud!)  ...

Forgiveness by definition: Forgiveness  is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well. All of us have been hurt and/or offended by someone at one time or other.  Even someone as close as a parent.   A hurt or offense can be intentional or it could be a simple slight (the offender simply did not think before they spoke or did something). Each hurt or offense leaves spiritual scars.  Moreover, because it is a spiritual act, we do not outwardly see the scar; we continue walking through life as though we are all right, okay.  I love God and all is well.  However, a spiritual scar is mirrored in the natural just like a cut that has been made and will form a scar as in the process of trying to heal. Of course, there are levels of offenses and hurts.  Some we can eas...

Last Saturday evening I received one of those dreaded, awful telephone calls.  The one that causes the ground beneath you to shudder.  I had talked to my sister earlier in the day.  We talked about the usual nothingness and casual events of our lives.  We laughed and giggled as sisters do.  I am always glad to hear from her. It was late, my husband had gone to bed and I was preparing to do so when my sister called me.  Immediately, I knew something was wrong.  She went on to tell me that my nephew had been on his motorcycle and had ended up in a terrible, life threatening accident.  He had lost control of his motorcycle, while riding with his brother, and ended up veering off the road into someone's yard and not only hit a tree but was thrown off the bike into another tree.  Needless to say, the injuries were severe!  His brother and wife had just moved into the neighborhood and he called out to his wife, who had been a medic and sh...

Do The Work Exploring Purpose and Vision I know this that is not a new subject. You can find books, tapes, CDs, DVDs, and workshops advertised all over the virtual world. The problem doesn't seem to be access to information but our ability to apply the changes necessary to fulfill one's purpose and vision. Pin It See all 5 photos The Day of Responsibility How many times have we made "Monday" a Holy Grail day? On "Monday" I'll start my diet!, On "Monday" I'll write a new Hub!, On "Monday" I'll look for a new job! So many "Monday's" have arrived and left and we still have not written that book, finished that project, wrote down our vision, declared our purpose, made reconciliation, asked for forgiveness, and started that diet! And after a series of "Monday's," I have arrived at the latter part of my journey and close to retirement and find the most urgent...

Welcome 2015! This year I've chosen to make declarations instead of resolutions!  Walking into 2015 with my eyes wide open! I embrace the spirit of Expectation.  I promise to make the effort to live the best life during this year!  Forgetting those things that are behind and pressing forward to new challenges, changes, and truths about myself that caused stagnation. I will pursue God with a passion that restore areas of my spiritual life that had previously been damaged, distracted, or destroyed! I declare that I will not lie to myself but write the truth and read it, and make a truthful effort to invoke the necessary change.  I choose not to settle for people, places, or things that will not bring value to my life whether good or bad. I will continue to search out my passions and pursue them! I promise to keep motivated in all that is good, starting with small steps! Above all, I choose to love myself and love beyond what I see of others!
