King's Daughter's Kitchen

I want to be a Women’s Ministry Speaker, to share about our relationship with God. It’s a risk because what I say can change destinies. I need to be invited. Women need to know what a good, loving relationship with God is like. I want hurting, angry, bitter women to know there is a loving, accepting God who brought me out of years of abuse, who makes me feel worthy and clean.

Women need to know Someone fights for them. They need to know my Warrior who saved me from a house fire at the lake, when thirteen other houses burned and whole  families never came back.

Women need a God of compassion, forgiveness, and kindness to teach them to forgive themselves first, then to forgive others who have hurt them. A loving God has carried me past my two-year-old granddaughter’s murder, and caused me to forgive myself. Though I will never forget, or allow murderers into my life, I forgive them, plural, both. It’s important to say because six years have passed. There was one trial, and one life sentence.   The second murderer is still free, with no trial date set, so I am waiting for justice on God’s time now.

Women need to allow God the healer to touch them from the top of their heads to the bottoms of their feet in every cell of their bodies, taking pain permanently, knitting together broken minds and parts, and shielding their bodies from sickness of the world. I walk again after a head-on car wreck because of God’s healing hand and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Women need to learn to stand next to the unwashed, those in need, or those different from themselves and to show mercy, community, support, help, and love. In a given day, imagine the loneliness of zero human contact. Imagine living that as a lifestyle. I choose to be the person who speaks to break the loneliness. I have stood beside people to give resource cards or plates of food. I may have changed people’s outlooks with no judgement, only support. I choose to model the power and love of my Jesus instead of the ugly loneliness of the world.

Women need joy, deep, lasting joy in a relationship with our Wonderous God who can cause them to laugh and see freedom and fun in small and great things. God can bring rest when it seems no rest can be had. He can be our energy when we are worn to frazzled bits after chasing kids, bills, and laundry all day. He really cares about even the small stuff. I want to be in Women’s Ministry to show women that God is real and that He really wants a full relationship with us.
