A Day in the Life at Sassy Christian Woman: Behind the Scenes of Our Creative Process

Welcome, Sis.Whether you're rebuilding, rediscovering, healing, growing, dreaming, or stepping boldly into a new season, you've found a place where faith and femininity walk hand in hand.Sassy Christian Woman exists to encourage women to grow deeper in God's Word, embrace who He created them to be, walk confidently in their purpose, and show up fully in every area of life.Here you'll find biblical encouragement, honest conversations, practical wisdom, style inspiration, and resources designed to help you become the woman God called, chose, and empowered you to be.Because faith isn't meant to stay inside the church walls—it should shape how we live, lead, serve, speak, dress, dream, and walk through the world.You are called. You are chosen. You are confident."Come on in, Sis. I've been expecting you."

Faith. Femininity. Confidence. Purpose.

Hey Sis,Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and let's talk.I'm Terri—a pastor, teacher, speaker, writer, encourager, and a woman who has lived long enough to know that life will sometimes knock the wind out of you, mess up your plans, and your hair , and have you asking God questions you never thought you'd ask.I've celebrated victories, survived storms, made mistakes, learned hard lessons, and discovered that God's grace is bigger than all of it.That's why Sassy Christian Woman was born.Not because I have all the answers.But because I know what it feels like to need encouragement, clarity, confidence, and a reminder that God has not forgotten your address!Around here, we love Jesus, trust the Bible, tell the truth, and refuse to pretend life is always neat and tidy, 'cause it ain't!Some days we'll study Scripture.Some days we'll talk purpose.Some days we'll discuss confidence, healing, relationships, or that thing you've been praying about for the last five years.And yes, Sis...Some days we'll talk about looking fabulous while we're doing it.Because I happen to believe that a woman can be deeply rooted in God's Word, walk boldly in her purpose, and still appreciate a good pair of shoes.So, if you're looking for real conversations, biblical truth, practical wisdom, a little laughter, and occasional holy side-eye when life gets ridiculous...You're in the right place.Welcome to Sassy Christian Woman.Truth. Grace. Growth. And just enough sass to keep it interesting

Meet Terri

<h3>Every woman arrives here carrying something.</h3>A prayer. A dream. A calling. A question. A burden. A purpose she hasn't fully stepped into yet.So tell me, Sis...What brings you here today?<h3>📖TEACHER</h3>Faith Rooted in the WordNeed biblical truth without the fluff?Pull up a chair.Let's open the Bible, ask the hard questions, strengthen our faith, and discover what God actually said—not what social media said He said.Because feelings are real, but God's Word is final.<h3>👠 STYLIST</h3>Look Good. Feel Good. For His Glory.Listen...Loving Jesus and loving a fabulous outfit are not mutually exclusive.If you're ready to refresh your style, build confidence, discover affordable fashion, and show up as your best self, you're in the right place.Because confidence isn't vanity.It's stewardship.<h3>🎤 SPEAKER</h3>Called to Speak.

Choose Your Journey

Well, Sis...Life has a way of life-ing, doesn't it?One minute you're walking by faith, quoting Scripture, and trusting God with your whole heart.The next minute you're staring at the ceiling at 2:00 a.m., replaying a conversation from three days ago and wondering if the Lord could hurry up and answer that prayer you've been praying since the children were in elementary school.Around here, we talk about all of it.The victories.The disappointments.The lessons.The healing.The growth.The moments when faith comes easy.And the moments when you're holding on with one hand while waving a white flag with the other.Some posts will make you laugh.Some might step on your toes a little.Some may have you reaching for a notebook, a Bible, and possibly a snack.No judgment.This is a place for real women living real lives and serving a very real God.So, whether you're looking for encouragement, wisdom, a fresh perspective, or just confirmation that you're not the only one trying to keep your faith strong while life does the absolute most...You're in the right place.Take a look around.Read what speaks to your season.And remember, Sis...God is still working.God is still faithful.And no matter what it looks like right now...He has not forgotten your address.

Let's Talk Sis

The UnlikelyHave you ever looked at your life and wondered why God would choose you?Join the club, Sis.Throughout Scripture, God consistently chose ordinary, overlooked, broken, underestimated, and unlikely people to accomplish extraordinary things.And if we're being honest, most of us have felt a little unlikely at one point or another.The Unlikely is a message of hope, purpose, resilience, and God's ability to use the people nobody expected—including us.Because your setbacks don't disqualify you.Your mistakes don't define you.And your story isn't over.Not even close.After all...God specializes in unlikely.

Life has a way of presenting situations that leave us scratching our heads, clutching our pearls, and asking, "Lord, what am I supposed to do with this?"The good news is that God's Word is not silent.Here you'll find Bible studies, teachings, and practical insights designed to help you navigate real life through the lens of Scripture. Whether you're seeking encouragement, direction, healing, or a deeper understanding of God's Word, put your phone on vibrate, pull up a chair, grab your Bible, your journal, and maybe your coffee too.Let's Talk Bible about it!

Let's Talk Bible!

During a shoot with 15 divorced exMormon women, one of them said “can I just get a picture of my ring.” A custom gift from a friend, writ with her daily mantra. Of course I said…yes.

Sis, let's settle something right now.Loving Jesus and loving a fabulous outfit are not mutually exclusive.You can be deeply rooted in God's Word and still appreciate a great handbag.You can pray in tongues and coordinate accessories.You can be anointed and accessorized.Around here, style isn't about impressing people.It's about showing up confidently as the woman God created you to be.Because confidence isn't vanity.It's stewardship.And when you feel your best, you're more likely to show up boldly for the life God has called you to live.Now come on, Sis.Let's get styled.

The Bible is open.The coffee is hot.And nobody here expects you to have all the answers.Because if we're being honest, most of us are still trying to figure out what God is doing in at least one area of our lives.Whether you've been studying Scripture for years or you're still using the table of contents as your personal tour guide, you're welcome here.We'll ask questions.We'll challenge assumptions.We'll dig into God's Word.And every now and then, we'll lovingly drag a few excuses into the light and make them tell the truth.Around here, we don't just want information.We want transformation.Because collecting Bible facts without applying them is like buying a gym membership and expecting the pounds to leave by faith alone.Nice thought.Not how it works.So grab your Bible, bring your questions, and bring that thing you've been wrestling with God about.No judgment.Just truth, growth, grace, and the occasional holy side-eye.Now come on, Sis.Let's see what the Word has to say.

Pull Up A Chair, Sis

Your 3 minute Word from the Lord

Let It Go, Mama — God Is Not NervousAlright, Sis… let’s talk.Matthew 6:25–34 — Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives. Not what we’ll eat. Not what we’ll wear. Not about tomorrow.And if we’re honest?Tomorrow is where most of our anxiety lives.We are out here fighting battles that haven’t even introduced themselves yet.We rehearse worst-case scenarios like it’s a spiritual discipline. We prepare speeches for arguments that haven’t happened. We brace for impact… and nothing even hit.That’s exhausting.Now listen — Jesus was not dismissing responsibility. He was dismantling anxiety.There’s a difference.Responsibility says, “I will do my part.” Anxiety says, “I must control the outcome.”And control feels powerful… until it drains you.Some of us aren’t tired because life is heavy. We’re tired because we won’t put it down.Overthinking is just control dressed up in concern.And it sounds spiritual sometimes:“I’m just being wise.” “I’m just planning ahead.” “I’m just preparing.”But underneath that?It’s fear.And fear whispers, “If I don’t hold this together, everything will fall apart.”But here’s the truth:God has never needed your anxiety to accomplish His will.He feeds birds that don’t farm. He clothes flowers that don’t sew. And He sustains you — not because you panic well — but because He is faithful.So let me say it clearly:You do not have to solve tomorrow tonight.You do not have to micromanage what God has already mastered.You do not have to rehearse disaster to feel prepared.If God is already in tomorrow, you don’t need to live there today.And here’s the line I want you to take with you:Let it go, Mama — God is not nervous.He’s not nervous about your bills. He’s not nervous about your children. He’s not nervous about that decision you keep replaying.He is not pacing Heaven.So why are you pacing your house?Release the grip.Close the mental courtroom.Stop arguing with outcomes that haven’t even testified yet.Peace isn’t passive.Peace is trust in motion.And when you choose peace, you are not being careless — you are being confident in a God who has never lost control.Let it go.And sleep tonight.

Let It Go, Mama — God Is Not Nervous

May we never tire of doing what is good and right before our Lord because in His season we shall bring in a great harvest if we can just persist. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5765805392105774082/8686974238204545235#">Galatians 6:9</a>A few days ago, I got a call from someone I’m beyond blessed to call my friend. He was calling to thank me for the congratulatory card I sent, but as usual, our conversation went way beyond small talk. He’s hilarious, crazy-smart (if I’m ever on a game show, best believe he’s my “phone-a-friend”), and just 'good people' through and through.&nbsp;We always have great conversations, but true to form, by the end of this one, he had me so encouraged I felt like I could walk on water. (Don’t clutch your pearls, sis, it’s just an expression.) He has that rare gift of making you feel lighter, braver, and a little more fabulous than when the conversation started. And if I had to guess, I’d say he does that for everyone he meets.I keep replaying this conversation in my head, and the one question he asked,&nbsp;“Do you love it enough to stay committed to it?” Without even blinking, I said, “Yes.” But later, I had to stop and ask myself, girl, how did you know that so quick? What’s driving my yes? Is it that God-given, ride-or-die kind of calling that won’t let you quit—no matter how broke the budget is, how silent your <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5765805392105774082/8686974238204545235#">amen corner</a> gets, how little time you have, or how many doors life tries to slam in your face? The kind that shrugs at inconvenience, side-eyes obstacles, and says, “Oh, I’m still here… and I’m not going anywhere.”And then—it hit me like a heavenly mic drop! When I’m in my passion, I’m not just “in my happy place,” I’m walking in my God-given lane with the top down and the wind of the Spirit blowing through my <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5765805392105774082/8686974238204545235#">faux locks</a>! No confusion, no “maybe I’m called,” just a whole yes, ma’am, this is it. This is what I was created for!&nbsp;The breath inside my breath, the kiss of God stamped all over my life. That’s why I’m all in—because it’s not a chore, it’s my <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5765805392105774082/8686974238204545235#">holy playground</a>. And while other folks are clocking in to survive, I’m over here clocking in to thrive, flipping the enemy a wave as I pass by. God didn’t just hand me this gift—He wired it into the very fabric of my DNA, and I’m not about to dim what He designed to shine!So sista’, find that thing that lights you up like revival night under a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5765805392105774082/8686974238204545235#">Holy Ghost tent</a>! Don’t you dare quit. Don’t you dare give up. And please—don’t you waste one eyelash batting at your haters—slay right past ‘em. Chase that thing that snatches your sleep, hijacks your peace (in the best way), and burns so hot in your spirit that even the devil himself will start taking detours around your street. Because when God calls you, your yes ain’t optional—it’s a Heaven-issued, Hell-proof, can’t-be-revoked assignment… and girl, you were born to carry it like the crown it is.

Sista' Don't Quit!

🔒 CHAPTER TWO: HAGAR&nbsp;INTRODUCTION — Seen When No One Else Was Looking&nbsp;Hagar does not enter Scripture with celebration.&nbsp;She enters as property.&nbsp;She is not introduced through lineage or blessing, but through ownership—Sarai’s servant. Her story begins inside someone else’s household, someone else’s plan, someone else’s desire for control.&nbsp;And yet—God sees her.&nbsp;That alone should make us pause.&nbsp;Hagar is the first woman in Scripture to receive a personal encounter with God outside the covenant line. She is the first to be pursued by God in the wilderness. And she is the only person in the Bible who gives God a name.&nbsp;Let that sit.&nbsp;Hagar’s story is not about curiosity gone wrong.&nbsp;t’s about powerlessness, exploitation, and survival inside systems she did not design.&nbsp;She did not reach for a tree.&nbsp;She was positioned for a womb.&nbsp;She did not question God’s command.&nbsp;She was obeying someone else’s.&nbsp;Hagar is a woman used to advance a promise that wasn’t hers—then blamed when the plan became complicated.&nbsp;And still—God finds her.&nbsp;Not in a home.&nbsp;Not under protection.&nbsp;But in the wilderness.&nbsp;That matters.&nbsp;Because Hagar’s God does not wait for safety, status, or spiritual pedigree. He meets her where power has failed her—where survival has become the assignment.&nbsp;If Eve teaches us about the loss of innocence,&nbsp;Hagar teaches us about the cost of invisibility.&nbsp;📦 Spiritual Key #1 — Being Seen Is Not the Same as Being Valued&nbsp;*Key Truth:&nbsp;Being visible to people does not mean you are protected by them—but being seen by God changes everything.&nbsp;Hagar was seen every day.&nbsp;She was useful.&nbsp;She was positioned.&nbsp;She was watched.&nbsp;But she was not valued.&nbsp;She lived in full view of a household that benefited from her body while ignoring her humanity. Her presence mattered only as long as she was useful to someone else’s plan.&nbsp;And yet—God saw her.&nbsp;Not as a resource.&nbsp;Not as a solution.&nbsp;Not as collateral damage.&nbsp;But as a person.&nbsp;*Why This Matters (Especially If You’ve Ever Felt Used):&nbsp;Many women confuse being needed with being valued.&nbsp;You were included—but not protected.&nbsp;Chosen—but not considered.&nbsp;Kept close—but never covered.&nbsp;And when harm followed, you were blamed for reacting to conditions you did not create.&nbsp;Hagar didn’t fail a system.&nbsp;She was expendable to it.&nbsp;And God refuses to overlook that.&nbsp;*Spiritual Application: Let God Name What People Benefited From Ignoring&nbsp;Sis, hear this clearly: being seen by people did not keep you safe—but being seen by God still matters.&nbsp;Instead of asking:&nbsp;Why didn’t they value me?&nbsp;Why was I disposable?&nbsp;Try asking:&nbsp;Where did God see me when no one else did?&nbsp;What did He name that others refused to acknowledge?&nbsp;Hagar did not earn God’s attention.&nbsp;She received it.&nbsp;And that seeing became the beginning of her healing.&nbsp;Reader Pause — Let This Settle in Your Soul&nbsp;Before we move on, pause here.&nbsp;If you’ve ever been used, overlooked, blamed, or pushed into a situation you didn’t choose—this story already recognizes you.&nbsp;You don’t have to make meaning yet.&nbsp;You don’t have to connect dots.&nbsp;You don’t have to decide how this applies.&nbsp;Just notice what stirred.&nbsp;God saw Hagar.&nbsp;And He sees you.&nbsp;Let that settle in your soul.

💔 Trauma and the Women of the Bible: When Heaven Bears Witness

Absolutely. Let’s step into this like proclamation, not just comparison—revelation wrapped in narrative.<h4>SECTION: THE UNLIKELY — A RUTH REWRITTEN</h4>There are some stories in Scripture that do not simply sit on the page— they echo.They echo across generations. They echo through lives that were never supposed to look like purpose. They echo in women who were never positioned to be chosen— yet were chosen anyway.One of those stories belongs to Ruth.And if you listen closely— you will hear that same echo in my mother.Ruth’s story does not begin in promise. It begins in loss.Widowed. Displaced. Uncertain.Not only grieving what she had lost, but standing in a future that offered no guarantees.And my mother— though her story unfolded in a different time— stood in that same kind of beginning.A child at ten years old, forced to process what no child should ever have to carry. Loss did not knock politely at her door. It entered, rearranged everything, and left her to make sense of a world that no longer felt stable.Ruth buried a husband.My mother buried innocence.And yet— neither woman allowed loss to become their identity.Ruth made a decision that would alter her entire life:“Where you go, I will go. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.”She chose covenant before she saw provision.She aligned herself with God before she saw evidence of what that alignment would produce.And my mother— though she was not raised in what we would call “the church”— stepped into that same kind of divine alignment.She was not born into the family of God as we define it. She was brought into it.Welcomed. Formed. Transformed.Not by lineage— but by grace.Ruth gleaned in fields she did not own, surviving on what was left behind.It was not glamorous. It was not secure. It was enough.And sometimes, “enough” is where God begins His greatest work.My mother gleaned too— not in barley fields, but in moments.In borrowed stability. In spaces that did not always feel like home. In opportunities that required her to take what was available and trust God with what was missing.She learned how to live before life ever felt settled.Then came Boaz— the kinsman-redeemer.Not rushed. Not accidental. But appointed.A man who recognized her value before the world ever validated it.A man who did not just see her struggle— but responded with covering, provision, and covenant.And in my mother’s life, that same divine pattern unfolded.My father—Solomon— entered not as a rescue, but as a continuation of God’s plan.Older. Established. Positioned.Not just a husband— but a partner in purpose.Just as Ruth stepped into a field and found favor, my mother stepped into covenant and found alignment.And what followed was not just provision— it was multiplication.Because Ruth’s story does not end at marriage.It culminates in lineage.She, the outsider, became part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ.Let that settle.The one who did not belong— was written in.The one who was not expected— was remembered.The one who arrived empty— became essential.And my mother— though her name may not appear in Scripture— walked that same divine rhythm.She did not just receive from the family of God. She built within it.She taught. She preached. She poured.She raised a generation that would know God, serve God, and carry His name forward.She helped establish a legacy that did not begin with her— but would not be the same without her.This is the testimony of The Unlikely.Not the one who had the right background. Not the one who had the perfect start. Not the one who was positioned by circumstance.But the one who was:<ul><li>Grafted by grace</li><li>Aligned through covenant</li><li>And rooted in legacy</li></ul>Reader Pause + ReflectionWhere have you counted yourself out because of where you started?Where have you believed that your beginning disqualified your becoming?Ruth was not born into the lineage— she was brought into it.And what God did for her— He is still doing.Grounding LineYou are not limited by where your story began. You are positioned by what you are willing to say yes to.Bridge StatementBecause when God writes a life, He does not consult history for permission.He rewrites it through grace.And what comes next is not just survival— it is evidence of divine intention.

The Unlikely: God's Specialty

The Person of the Holy Spirit-Who Is He?The Holy Spirit is&nbsp;the third Person of the [Christian Trinity]—co-equal, co-eternal, and one with God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ). He is not an impersonal force or "it," but a divine Person who acts, feels, teaches, and indwells believers, serving as their Helper, Counselor, and Comforter. The&nbsp;Holy Spirit:​ The TrinityThe Trinity&nbsp;consist of three persons equally divine and yet inseparably one​ We alone believe in a tripersonal God—that the one God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.​To speak of the one God of the Bible is to speak of the Father, Son, and Spirit—they are each God, but they are not each other.​There was never a God who was not Father and Son together in the unity of the Spirit, coequal, coeternal in the essence of the divine being. The Three Persons​While they share the exact same divine essence, they act in distinct ways:&nbsp;​The Father:&nbsp;Seen as the source or head of the Trinity. He is the Creator and the ultimate judge.​The Son:&nbsp;God revealed in human form as Jesus Christ. He is the Savior who redeems humanity.​The Holy Spirit:&nbsp;The unseen, active presence of God in the world today. Acting in various roles including comforter, guide, and counselor.&nbsp; The&nbsp;Holy Spirit Was In the Beginning with God​ Active In Creation1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.&nbsp;And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the&nbsp;waters.&nbsp;​Genesis 1:1-2​By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Job 26:13​O&nbsp;Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.&nbsp;25&nbsp;So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26&nbsp;There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.27&nbsp;These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28&nbsp;That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.​29&nbsp;Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.30&nbsp;Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.​ Psalm 104:24-40 The&nbsp;Holy Spirit Was Active with&nbsp;God​ In Creation of Man​7&nbsp;And the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;God formed man of the dust of the ground,&nbsp;and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. ​Genesis 2:7​ 8 But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding. ​Job 32:8​4&nbsp;The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. ​Job 33:4​7&nbsp;Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?​8&nbsp;If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.​Psalm 139:7-8​12.Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.​13&nbsp;Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?​4&nbsp;If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;​15&nbsp;All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.​ Job 34:12-15

'Count it all Joy'

James 1:2-3 2&nbsp;My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3&nbsp;Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.We are to endure our temptations/sufferings as a good soldier of Christ. Knowing that our sufferings are not in vain, and we shall reap a harvest of blessings if we don't faint!

Count it All Joy

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.&nbsp;Philippians 4:8&nbsp;Are you kidding me?????One day, I found myself slipping into some good ol’ fashioned stinkin’-thinkin’. You know the drill: an unexpected urgent care bill shows up, and your washing machine goes on strike—leaving you with a mountain of dirty laundry and zero motivation. The longer I sat in that funk, the heavier everything started to feel. Suddenly, I was stewing over the three pounds I lost... and promptly found again, the neighbor who moved in across the street with chimpanzees for children (Heavenly Father, forgive me—but You see them too), and the patch of gray peeking out from under my trusty black Jheri curl wig. I confess—by that point, I was fully camped out in the pit of despair. (Okay, maybe I was being a little dramatic... but hey, some days my halo is on backward.)But then—miraculously—I felt a check in my spirit from the Holy Spirit. You know, like a spiritual thunk on the head. And instantly, He asked me, “Why are you letting the enemy steal from you?” (Full disclosure: His tone was actually a little harsher than that—but I figured some of y’all were already clutching your pearls just because I said the Holy Spirit asked me a question. So no, you’re probably not ready for the full fire-and-brimstone version of His query. But I digress.)That question stopped me in my tracks. I started thinking about what I’d been thinking about, and just like that, the Holy Spirit gently reminded me of Philippians 4:8: “Whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report… think on these things.”There’s a reason the Holy Spirit reminded me to think about what I was actually thinking about. He wanted me to recognize that when I get caught in a downward spiral of negative thinking, I lose focus—on who God is and all the amazing gifts He’s already given His children.Scripture makes it plain in John 10:10: It’s the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And girl, his goal is to rob me blind—of peace, purpose, joy, and every good thing God has planned for my life.I’ve had the blessing of ministering to hundreds of women—especially in the area of encouragement—through teaching, Bible study, coaching, and counseling. It’s absolutely what I was created to do.So isn’t it just like old slew-foot to constantly attack me in the very area I’m called to pour out? Staying encouraged myself is a daily battle! I’m always fighting to keep my mind focused and my spirit uplifted.That’s why—for me—reading Scripture isn’t optional. It’s survival.No joke, if I don’t fill my mind with the promises of God on a regular basis, I’ll be out here singing, “Gloom, despair, and agony on me!” like I’m starring in a spiritual soap opera. 😩📖💁🏾‍♀️Yes, I know—it stinks feeling like we’re always in a fight. And sometimes I really do wonder, When will this ever end?But here’s what I know: at the end of every battle, I can look back and boldly declare, “Once again, devil… you got punked.” (Aka: defeated. Demolished. Dragged.)And the sheer joy of knowing that God fought the battle—but I get to walk in the victory? Oh yes, it makes the fight worth it every single time!

Girl...Check Your Mind

&nbsp;No, in all these things we win an overwhelming victory through him who has proved his love for us. Romans 8:37 PhillipsGirl!!!...but did you die?"This has been the week from hell," she shrieked so loudly that I was pretty sure my neighbors could hear her through the phone. "Take a deep breath and tell me what happened," I pleaded as she continued her rant, already regretting picking up. She launched into a dramatic tirade about evil bosses and backstabbing coworkers—a mix of gossip, grievance, and spiritual warfare."Then, just when I thought she might be winding down, she shifted gears to the neighbor’s car—a wheezing heap of junk with some mysterious part dragging underneath, apparently loud enough to wake the dead.&nbsp;&nbsp;One thing was clear: she wasn’t just having a moment— she was in full-blown meltdown mode, and I’d somehow become the designated minister at this emergency prayer meeting I didn't&nbsp;volunteer for!Well, if an impromptu prayer meeting or an emergency counseling session was what she was expecting, --sorry to disappoint, sista, the only thing I kept hearing in my spirit through this entire barrage of complaints was&nbsp; Girl... but did you die?'I know it sounds harsh—but come on, really? Let me explain the brutal honesty. I’m a die-hard, tongue-talking, baptized, apostolic Pentecostal girl who’s been living for Jesus practically since birth. I was born on a Sunday, and after the old-school six-week waiting period, I made my grand debut in somebody’s church—ruffled socks, baby bonnet, white high-top, spit-shined shoes and all.Am I perfect? Absolutely not! But I’m mature enough to know: if Jesus, the Master, had to endure the old rugged cross, then sis… we all have one too. Hers just happens to look like a crazy boss, backstabbing coworkers, and a busted-down car that sounds like it’s coughing up demons.So, sis… I ain’t hatin’ on you—I love you. And as your sister in Christ, it’s my job to remind you that God loves you even more.I know it feels impossible sometimes. But remember this: because He defeated every enemy at the cross, you will too. Nothing can stand against you—not even that snarky boss or the demon-possessed car that needs Jesus and a tune-up!

Girl!!!...but did you die?

&nbsp;And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exodus 3:3&nbsp;&nbsp;When was the last time you were in the 'zone, or as some would call it, 'the flow,' and all of a sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, you are interrupted? Gemini describes interruption as (BTW, I am loving Gemini). An interruption is when something temporarily stops or disrupts something else that is going on. But don't you just love it when your interruption turns out to be your 'break-through' moment?When I am blessed to find myself in these precious situations, I recognize that these aren't interruptions at all; they are 'God ticks. ' I know, you just asked what is a God tick? Well, I'm glad you did! A 'God tick' is a snippet of time out of eternity when the Divine invades your space and alerts you to an opportunity that you can't afford to miss!&nbsp;Don't believe it! Well.&nbsp; &nbsp;How about Moses in the desert? Picture this.&nbsp; Moses was out there minding his own business, tending to his sheep, possibly deep in thought about the family he left back in Egypt, when he was enjoying the benefits of opulence and luxury (he was a prince in Egypt), and out of nowhere, his thoughts are interrupted by the sight of a burning bush!&nbsp;"We all know how the Moses story goes, right? But rewind a second. If his day hadn't been utterly derailed by a talking, fiery bush, he might've just kept herding sheep on the back of nowhere, completely missing his divine promotion to Israel's deliverer. So, the next time your carefully planned day gets gloriously messed up, stop that eye-roll, sister! That 'interruption' just might be a divine invitation, leading you exactly where God's always planned for you to be."Just saying,

Interruptions

Alright, Sis… let’s talk.In Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives—not what we'll eat, wear, or what tomorrow may bring.And if we're honest, tomorrow is where most of our anxiety lives.We fight battles that haven't introduced themselves yet. We rehearse worst-case scenarios, prepare speeches for conversations that haven't happened, and brace for impacts that never come.That's exhausting.Now Jesus wasn't dismissing responsibility—He was dismantling anxiety.There's a difference.Responsibility says, "I'll do my part." Anxiety says, "I must control the outcome."And control feels powerful until it drains you.Some of us aren't tired because life is heavy. We're tired because we refuse to put it down.Overthinking is often just control dressed up in concern.It sounds spiritual: "I'm just being wise." "I'm just planning ahead." "I'm just preparing."But underneath it all is fear whispering, "If I don't hold this together, everything will fall apart."But here's the truth:God has never needed your anxiety to accomplish His will.He feeds birds that don't farm. He clothes flowers that don't sew. And He sustains you—not because you panic well, but because He is faithful.So hear me, Sis:You do not have to solve tomorrow tonight.You do not have to micromanage what God has already mastered.You do not have to rehearse disaster to be prepared.If God is already in tomorrow, you don't need to live there today.Let it go, Mama—God is not nervous.He's not nervous about your bills, your children, or that decision you keep replaying in your mind.He's not pacing Heaven.So why are you pacing your house?Release the grip. Close the mental courtroom. Stop arguing with outcomes that haven't even testified yet.Peace isn't passive.Peace is trust in motion.Let it go and sleep tonight
