TELLING OUR STORIES!!!

 March is here Sisters, and if you're in my part of the country we are experiencing some really spring like weather! But don't get too comfortable it could change any time!

Unlike the weather, the one thing that doesn't change is the powerful and positive impact women have been making in our world!  March is National Women's History Month!  The 2023 theme is: "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories."

It's all about highlighting the accomplishments of women past and present who have been active in print and broadcast media, television, newspapers, magazines, etc.  And since technology has been the newest frontier to conquer, our presence in the world of podcasts and social media. We've got plenty to talk about, to bring our unique perspective to and we're doing it!  Now that's exciting isn't it?

You want to hear something just as exciting? YOUR STORY!

Yes, Dear Sisters, you too have a story to tell!  And  looking at the way the world is trying to bend the minds of our young people, we need to get to it! FAST~ So how do you do that?!  

TELL YOUR FAMILY HISTORY!  I challenge you to find the Heroes and Sheroes in your own family and share their stories. The FIRST college graduates, FIRST preachers, FIRST land and business owners.   It's no secret that there is a strategic force rising within our nation to wipe out the significant contributions that people of color have made. Legislation however can not take away your history.  The legacy of your family and neighbors that you can pass on!

TELL YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY!  In telling your story it is inevitable that something painful or even shameful from your past may rear its head.  This must not be hidden.  These are the things that if you have dealt with them makes us stronger and better.  How will generational curses be broken if they are not acknowledged? How can we teach our children to trust us rather than social media influencers if we're not honest with them about everything? We're living in an age in which nothing in our past can be absolutely buried.  Know this, a simple google search, DNA test, or people search could possibly tell it all but out of context and without the true story!  Let them hear it from us first!

TELL YOUR SALVATION HISTORY!  I love this old adage: "Every Saint has a past and every Sinner has a future!"  It puts us all on an even playing field!  None of us is as good as we think we are! Romans 3:23 tells us, All have sinned and fallen short.... The quicker we are to give our B.C.  (Before Christ) testimony the easier it will be for others to understand God's Amazing Grace! When sharing the Gospel of Christ use your life first, then open the Bible! It still stuns me when someone tells me, "You've been a Christian so long, you just don't understand what I'm going through!"   The flesh never forgets!  We who are Overcomers struggle daily. We've just learned how to use the tools God gives us a little better than some others. 

TELL THE BIBLE'S HISTORY! Still confused about where to begin YOUR story?  Go to God's Word!  HIS STORY IS OUR STORY: Our CREATION, SIN, AND REDEMPTION!!!

My church's Prayer Ministry is doing just that!  This month on our 6:30 A.M.  Prayer line we're celebrating Women's History every day by telling the stories of one of our Bible Sisters!  Stories of Faith, Pain, Betrayal, Foolishness, Envy, Courage, and Humility.  If you are honest you will find your own story in the lives of one or more of these women!  The good news is that you will also find God's Love, Hope, and Glory in there too!

Join us: Monday- Friday: 6:30 am-6:45 am (EST) - (267) 807--9495; Access code: 181-134-529# 

UNTIL NEXT TIME
