"You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you from there..."
Numerous times it is written that God did not want the children of Israel to forget where they came from, what He delivered them from, nor that He was the One that did it and not of their own accord. This was God's victory through Israel.
Do we, children today, honestly count our blessings and remember what victories in our life we have had because of what God has done through us and for us?
We find it so easy to complain about our situations and other people.
We survived yesterday, last week, last month, or last year(s) with victories/blessings.
Can you write down 10 things you hate in this world?
How about writing 10 things you overcame (victories)?
Would you be able to make your victory list longer than your complaint list?
I wonder what mine will look like. I wonder how humbling this will be?
Have you done one yet?
Next I wonder why did God kept repeating himself about forget not where you came from? Could it be because it is easy to fall into pride, self centeredness, self elevation?
I don't know about you, but I think I'm about to start my list of victories and see how many I can find today.
Be encouraged and look for your victories and not your messes

Sista, Sista
I look forward to Sunday mornings at First Baptist Church for two reasons. First, Pastor Kirby serves some very interesting foods for thought to the table for us to feast on.
The second reason is to enjoy my sisters in Christ. We laugh, cry, play games like find your match, wear tiaras, and use other visuals all while learning what the Word of God says. They never know what I will bring in to go along with the lesson, but they know it wil be fun and educational.
You may have heard me say the Bible is like a piece of chocolate cake without the calories. These past few Sundays we've really gotten down to the cream pudding inside this chocolate cake.
My hearts desire is for women to know how much God adores them, what He says about them is true, and a deeper relationship with Him will evolve.
My prayer for them is to accept Him by faith through grace and grow into a deeper relationship with them. I pray they are so hidden in Christ that when they walk up to you all you see is Jesus. We are of different ages and ideas, but of one goal. To be more than what we were before we came in.
I invite you to come and join Women in the Word at
