The First Dimension "Mirror, Mirror On The Wall"

Back to the story of Snow White and her wicked Stepmother-Queen. When the magic mirror answered the queen suggesting that she was no longer the MOST beautiful - her need for affirmation ignited into jealous rage. Hatred took control and she began to plot against her beautiful stepdaughter. She connived a plan to kill Snow White and remove her competition.
Newsflash: Lucifer and the wicked queen have a LOT in common! He despises femininity and his assault against beauty has a long history.
Read Ezekiel 28:13-17
13. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created .
14. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth ; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created , till iniquity was found in thee.
16. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned : therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.


Can you read this and comprehend how beautiful Lucifer was? He was covered in precious jewels; he was anointed perfection and he loved how his body glistened in the light. But wait! He forgot that his brightness did not come from within! It was a reaction that happened only when he was in the presence of the "Light"! He allowed his beauty to corrupt him and God cast him out forever!
Satan fell because of his beauty and his eternal revenge is to assault beauty… 
His hatred for women is rooted in the curse he received in the garden… 
“I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise His heel.” Gen 3:15
He hates beauty – especially Eve (woman) – because she embodies the glory of God. God's purpose for creating Eve was to attract the world to Himself. 
So Satan jealously tries to destroy her. He starts in the mirror. 
Now, the mirror has 3 dimensions…
First Dimension:
"The Girl Everybody Sees"
         Remember girls, your purpose is to attract the world to God.
         We need to make sure we are: Modest. Clean. Groomed.
Men by and large look and dress similar. The guy in the suit could be a doctor, lawyer, plumber or politician. The girl in the modest dress is a rarity. Her clothes are not too tight, too short or too revealing. Her outfit is flattering and tasteful. She saves her tennis shoes and jean skirt for cleaning and softball, so when she arrives at the grocery store or the restaurant...
                  Godly women stand out!
This image is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Think about how you looked in Walmart earlier. The "girl everybody sees" is the first dimension of your purpose. Are you attracting the world to God?
Satan hates your beauty, and he tries to distort and pervert your purpose. He is the one responsible for causing that "girl everybody sees" to dress with the desire to attract attention to her body. The temptation to show off her shape; compliment her curves; draw attention to her cleavage... This desire creates the sin of lasciviousness... defined as "inciting lust". (See Galatians 5:19)
Check the mirror, girls. What message is the "girl that everybody sees" giving? Our hope is that she is saying, "Follow me as I follow Christ." Our purpose is clear and simple, ladies... we are to attract the world to Christ. 
Stay tuned for the second dimension of the mirror... "The Girl You See"...

Write the Vision!

Dreams really do come true... if you work hard enough! I have told my story - but just in case you're new to my life - let me catch you up real quick: In 2008, a breast cancer diagnosis directed me to go back to college and study cancer - and alternative medicine My first day of radiation was also my first day of classes at Everglades University in a Bachelor of Science program In 2012, I graduated with a B.S. in Alternative Medicine In 2016, I received my M.P.H. (Masters in Public Health Administration with a Concentration in Alternative and Complementary Medicine) College opened up information about modalities I knew I wanted to incorporate into my life - with the MAIN TWO being -  Medical Thermography  Japanese technology of Kangen Water.  Long story short, God brought both of these services into my life miraculously. I had my first thermography appointment in May of 2017, which culminated with an offer to buy the Thermography business from the current owner.  And here we are -

Peace is the Umpire!

I recently discovered a new decision-making process. It seemed so practical - so I tucked the thought away in my mind.  A few days later, I read confirmation from the word! So, I used this method and it worked!  Let me share it with you:  This is the formula I found for decisions you need to make; or opportunities to consider.  Step One:  Write out the decision you need to make in your journal or on a notepad. Step Two: How do you feel when you think about accepting the opportunity? Think about saying “Yes, I'm going to do this”. Write out how this thought makes you feel. Step Three: How do you feel when you think about not accepting that opportunity, not going forward? Write out how you feel when you consider just backing off and saying “No, I’m not going to do this”. Step Four: Which of those decisions brought you peace when you considered your answer? My daily Bible reading brought me the following confirmation to use with these steps! Colossians 3:15 GNT The peace that Christ g

Praying Them Home...

I still have a copy of my son Cortt’s deployment orders for Iraq in my old Bible. One glance at that tearstained paper reminds me:   1- God doesn’t always say “Yes”. 2- I have trust issues.     I had faith God was going to delete those orders. I believed He was going to keep my son at home! I was sure of this. I vocalized it! I thanked God daily for it!   When Cortt and his unit shipped out to Afghanistan - my faith wavered slightly - but I was convinced God would not allow him to be sent into the Iraqi war zone!   So, when that dreaded day came - and he called to tell us - “I’m headed into Iraq. I don’t know when I’ll be able to communicate again - I’ll call as soon as I can.” I was done.   My faith failed.   For days on end - I could not - (or would not) pray. I was desperately worried and afraid - but, let me be honest… I was also angry. Why should I talk to God now? He had obviously ignored the past four months of my prayers and fasting. I had felt so much faith! I completely tr
