THE HEART OF A WOMAN

MY LIFE MY REASON

2010-02-24T10:37:00.000-08:00

Upon awakening this morning I realized that the years spent raising my children has swiftly come to an end. As the tears, not of sadness but of joy, slowly ran down my cheeks, I asked myself where the past 31 years had gone. Throughout the many trails which we’d travelled, they were there following me, giving me courage even when at times I could not find the courage within myself. I can still see their little eyes looking upon me, trustingly, filled with hope and anticipation as I maneuvered us through this vast universe of the unknowing. Although, many times they’d had reasons to doubt me, but because of our many conversations, and many tears together, they knew that there was no recipe for being a good parent. They knew that I could only give them the best that I knew to give and after that, I could only toss all which remained unfulfilled up to heaven’s gate.

Along this journey from birth to manhood, I could not teach my sons to be men, but I could teach them how to treat a woman. I taught them to communicate their expectations, to be patient when they didn’t have the answer, to know who they love and to stand by her and most of all to wait upon God.

As for my daughter…I only wish that when I was her age, that I could have possessed her strength. Her desire and passion for life is astounding! She has been my mirror reflecting back to me that which she has been taught; to never allow someone to abuse her acceptingly. To grab hold of life with the dawning of each new day and embrace it for all that it has to offer is her daily quest. She has learned to tap into the strength of all her mothers before her and receive of their wisdom and determination. When I look upon her and see within her the strength of my mother, and all the strength that I have to offer her, I know that with her passion to succeed that she’ll survive in this world. I’ve taught her to continue to have hope in our male culture although the many of them hurt the few. I want her to believe that there are some out there who are loyal to home, loving as fathers, determine as leaders and passionate as lovers despite what she’d observed throughout her informative years within my environment. Most of all, I’ve watched as she’s learned to filter out the bad, accept the good, and push through life, grabbing hold and hanging on to what God has prepared for her.

Now, as for me as the tears slowly cease, I must admit that I am truly blessed above women for God has said this to be so. God saw fit to bless me with three wonderful children, children who are filled with passion for the future. Children who are seeking to pioneer their trails here in this world. Ones who I must now learn to embrace as friends and no longer as kids. Ones who see themselves as walking down similar paths as they mature in life, filled with courage and determination due to the wisdom they would have obtain from watching those who’ve paved the way for them.

As for now, no more tears….all is well! Where do I go and what do I do from here? Well, only God knows! But whatever lies ahead, I pray that God give me the courage and the strength to receive and embrace life as it happens!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY! The road less traveled is filled with sweet fragrances.

Introduction Meeting February 14, 2010

2010-02-13T05:29:00.000-08:00

Our first Introduction Meeting will be held this Sunday, February 14, 2010 at my home in OKC. The response is truly amazing, therefore I know that God has in store great things for all who attends.

Just as a "heads up", our first discussion, after the introductory session will be:

THE CONCEPTION OF WOMAN and God's intended purpose for her existence.

The topic will come from the following verses:

Genesis 2:20 - 22
Genesis 3:20
Hosea 2:16

The key focus points will be:
A. Defining the difference between created and made/built.
B. What does it means to be a "help meet"?
C. How would each one in their own words define being the "mother of all living things".

Mission Statement

2010-02-11T18:49:00.000-08:00

Empowering Women
Working in conjunction with LifeChurch.tv, The Heart of a Woman is a support group geared toward the empowerment of women of all walks of life. Whether married, divorced or single our determination is to aid in the development of and the strengthening of womanhood.

The mission of The Heart of a Woman, is to allow women the opportunity, under the supervision of the Holy Spirit, to tap into their natural God given strengths and become all that which God has intended for them to become. In I Corinthians 2:9 Paul wrote: "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of a man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

The Heart of a Woman is passionate about assisting women in finding their voice. Helping women to understand that according to the Word of God in Philippians 4:19 "....God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." We must learn that God has no limits. We are only limited by our own thoughts, acts and deeds. Also, in 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".

The time is now as women, to realize the greatness within us and allow this magnificent womanhood which God has design with purpose to come forth and take her rightful place. There is an urgency that woman come to realize that the inner you doesn't negate the need for the outer you. There must be balance and margin in order to maintain a successful wholeness within oneself.

OUR FIRST GATHERING WILL BE HELD THIS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2010 AT 3:00 P.M. YOU CAN FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND WWW.MYCHURCHFINDERS.COM FOR UPDATES.
