Happy SONday Queens, On this day, the Lord's day of worship, prayer, praise and assembling with others, I would like you to reflect. What are some things you need to let go of? What are some things you need to press into more? Sit with those thoughts for a while and talk to God about some steps you can take to achieve these goals. You will be stronger, wiser, aquire more understanding, peace, joy, and enjoy sittingin His presence more often because the answers will come and they will work for you. My prayer is that His love may abound more and more in you, and the knowledge and depth of insight He gives you. In Jesus name I pray with thanksgiving, Amen.

Hey ladies, today we want to tell our Savior what we're thankful for... I'm thankful for losing access to someone that was not capable of carrying me! Think about it, you're doing everything right, praying, fasting, waiting, staying pure, working on yourself, healing, serving, becoming the woman they are praying for... and yet you're still alone! They always seem to choose someone else who's less disciplined, less patient, someone who didn't wait and seems less ready. That kind of rejection hasn't just hurt your heart, it messes with your identity. Then the dangerous questions begin to surface...Am I too much? Too strong? Too independent? Have I wasted my time doing it God's way? NOPE!!! The raw truth is being good doesn't guarantee being chosen by someone who is not aligned. There are times when you are not rejected because you lack something, but because of what you require. Like depth, consistency, growth, accountability, and not every man can handle that. A healed woman feels intimidating to a man who is still negotiating his own discipline. If he chooses easier, less accountability, and someone who requires less growth that's information for you to analyze. Stop translating his choices into your value. You're not too strong. You're not too serious. You're not too deep. You're not too independent. You're just not for everyone! Not being chosen saved you from something you can't yet see. You are not behind, you are being preserved, and that is not a flaw it's filtration. You are not here to be generally accepted and you do not need universal approval. What you need is to be specifically aligned with intentional partnership. Allow those who can not handle your depth to walk away. Remember, the greatest blessing is not who chooses you, but the greatest blessing may be who does not! So Queens ask yourself honestly, Did I really lose, or was access hindered from someone/something that was not capable of carrying me?

King David spoke an answer to the question beautifully: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18 NIV) God doesn't promise to fix our broken hearts immediately, but He promised to be close to them. He specializes in proximity to pain, in drawing near when life falls apart. David knew this truth from experience. In Psalm 23, he writes, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4 NIV) Notice, David doesn't say we won't experience dark valleys. A relationship with God doesn't immunize us from suffering. David says that even when he walks through suffering, God is with him. The valleys are real, the darkness is tangible, but the presence of the Shepherd transforms the experience of walking through them. If you're facing grief today, you don't have to walk that path alone. God is near you! Remember, grief isn't something to be fixed or cured – it's something to be walked through with God as our companion. We don't "get over" losses quickly, despite the unkind words of people who wonder why we’re still struggling. The process of healing does not submit to a clock nor a calendar. God's presence doesn't eliminate pain, but it indeed transforms our experience of walking through it. I encourage you today to remove any expectation that you should be "over this” by now. We serve a God who is patient and kind, who never leaves nor forsakes us. He's more patient with you than you are with yourself.

Good morning Queens, I thank God for allowing me to live into another chapter of life. Last Friday, Good Friday, was my birthday and I have been celebrating Jesus, our relationship, and how Holy week happened because of how much He loves me. I realized that my worst failure is not stronger than God's forgiveness! Psalms 34:4-5 says; 'I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.' Shame is different from guilt. Guilt says, "I did something bad." Shame says, "I am bad." Guilt focuses on behavior that can be changed; shame attacks identity itself. Guilt motivates us toward confession and repentance; shame drives us toward hiding and isolation. "Radiant faces, never covered with shame." This is God's desire for His children. Not because we're perfect, but because His love is perfect. Not because we have no reason for shame, but because His grace is greater than any reason shame might offer. WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR TODAY?

Good morning Queens, Can we all talk about something significant we heard yesterday at church or online? One thing I heard is that the first thing God does before He brings forth is take away. The soldiers didn't kill Him, He decided to die for us... so He took away His own life so that we could live. He died one way and came back a new creation, just like He does with us. When Mary went to the tumb, she was sad that His body was taken, however, He wasn't taken... He got up! He was a new creation because she didn't even recognize Him when He first approached her. She thought He was the gardener, until He spoke her name. What has God removed from your life that you thought was vital to you existence, and in hindsight, you now see it as a blessing because of what He's replaced it with?
