The Lifted Lady

Posted by Keisha Mitchell On Sept - 14 - 2009

It is amazing to me how several of the most coveted positions (in the church and in the secular world) appear, from the outside view, to carry great grandeur and few tribulations. However, this is a great misconception. Many desire to carry the titles of honor, but they truly do not understand the reality of the burden that comes with these positions.

Removing The Clutter

Posted by Paulette Harper On Sept - 14 - 2009

Do you have a closet that no one is allowed to open? I wonder why not. Is it full of junk and you keep telling yourself you are going to use one day? Just like cleaning out the closet, at times we need to do a spiritual and emotional cleaning.

Don't Stop The Love

Posted by Tanya White On Sept - 14 - 2009

Have you noticed that now that Valentine’s Day is history you have made being in and demonstrating love a mystery? Your unexpected kisses have been kicked to the curve. The peace has passed away. Your loving words of encouragement and compassion have quickly crept away like a thief in the night.

God Has The Final Say

Posted by Tonya Blount June - 1 - 2009

After years of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse, I finally ended my marriage. My exodus wasn’t planned. After a vicious beating that led to my arrest (at my former husband insistence), I prayed to God and heard an audible voice that asked, “Are you ready to Leave the Wilderness?” Several days later, I packed up my children and left. I had no plan and nowhere to go. We were immediately homeless...

Every stiletto has her secrets to her own personal style. These coveted secrets cannot be gleaned from the glossy magazines at the checkout stands in the grocery store or the latest best-selling guide to style.

Managing The Stress In Our Temples

Posted by Patricia Bridewell On Sept - 14 - 2009

Have you ever had those days when you just wanted to throw your hands in the air and give up? I know the feeling because I have rough days, too. The burden of stress falls on all of us and although it can be challenging, it is something we must all face. I would like to share some faith-based information and stress management techniques that I hope will help you cope with the stress in your lives.

The OMG! Chronicles # 2: Mirror Mirror On Her Wall...

The question: What would possess a mother to get plastic surgery to look like her daughter?

The situation: They say it’s a new trend! Mothers getting plastic surgery to look exactly like their daughters. In this instance, a 50ish year old woman decided, after realizing she “let herself go”, to take matters into her own hands. She didn’t just want to look younger, or be content with her 30lbs. weight loss; she decided to go under the knife to look just like her daughter. OUCH and WHAT?

Church Girl Says: I was just thinking about how mothers and daughters favor each other, but this is a completely new extreme. Can you begin to imagine what is going through that mother’s mind that feels it is normal to make herself into the image of her child? Their makeup, clothing, and now face are the same (well not exactly, but that’s what she was going for). Since when did children have so much influence over a parent? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

I’m also wondering if the mother’s failed relationship coupled with the fact that she lives with her daughter, have anything to do with her plunge into the deep end? Umm, yes! I’ve heard of a man causing a woman to do some radical things, like cut her hair or set his house on fire, but I’ve never heard of this.

What women need to realize is their worth is not determined by the size of their hips or how good they are in bed. It’s really about a right relationship with God. Only He can restore in her what the world has taken away. Self-esteem is not gained by plastic surgery, overeating, men, and any other vice that takes hold of women refusing to let them go. It sounds corny, but it begins within. What is the use of having a beautiful house on the outside, but when you step foot in the door you see nothing but trash?

When you change what’s on the inside, you will begin to appreciate everything that is on the outside.

The Word: Genesis 1:26 (The Message)
26-28 God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature… God created human beings; he created them godlike, reflecting God's nature.

Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)
1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

Check out the video and drop me a line. I’d love to know what you are thinking!

Church Girl is always finding jaw-dropping headlines that make her say OMG! So, she decided to do what any self-proclaimed Internet junkie would, blog about it. Her life is filled with OMG moments and apparently so is everyone else she comes in contact with. Why not share in the experience? From the news to the pews, Church Girl talks about those things that make you go hmmm. I'm reading: The OMG Chronicles # 2: Mirror Mirror On Her Wall...Tweet this!
