"Happy Mother's Day"

It has been so long since I have posted anything here... sorry! Liberation doesn't mean liberated from carrying on duties and responsibilities, it just helps you put them in proper perspective. As you put them in proper perspective you realize how blessed you are to have the ability to do what is required of you in everyday life. So my "blessings" have kept me pretty tied up. But I was determined that they weren't going to take the opportunity from me to wish all my wonderful sisters a Happy Mother's Day.

I hope the day brings you much joy!

May God bless you "REAL GOOD"!!!!!!

"What Is A 'Glitter Girl'?"

Of course by now you have figured out that the term “Glitter Girl” is my own personal description of women who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and are letting their lights shine (Matthew 5:14-16) for Him. We “glitter”- we reflect Him (Who is the real Light) in our lives in an unhindered, unhampered, uncovered way. In other words, we aren't hiding Christ’s light that is in us under a basket but on a candle stick (out in the open) for all to see. Glitter girls reflect Him; they shine for Jesus so that He might receive the glory.

I have shared my goal for having this blog, but it is also a personal journey for me as well. I am daily working at becoming a true "Glitter Girl" reflecting the Christ that is in me. It doesn't just happen over night, there isn't some "magic wand" that is waved over us and "poof" we become a beautiful "princess". It's a process that takes place day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, choice by choice, decision by decision. I am so glad that you have not only joined me on this journey but are reading the "ramblings" of my lessons and experiences that are teaching me along the way to becoming a daughter who bears the image of her Heavenly Father.

"Beauty Queens"

As a little girl I used to watch the beauty pageants on television- Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Universe, etc. I always thought that when the winner was crowned it meant that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I later realized that I was mistaken in my assumption. Even though the winner was a beautiful woman, she was not necessarily the “most” beautiful one, or the "only" beautiful one. The world looks at beauty on superficial terms. They think a beautiful woman is one that is perfect- the perfect figure, perfect skin, hair and nails. She is one who “turns” everyone’s heads. She is a “10”. She is tall, thin and curvacious. My mother always told me that “beauty” is skin deep. I know what she means. I have seen some very outwardly “beautiful” women whose personalities were rotten to the core. You can have all these physical qualities and still not be a beauty. So what is real beauty? I would like you to see some truly beautiful women. I don’t know if any of them have ever won a beauty pageant or not. But these are women who love the Lord and exhibit the characteristic of Christ in their lives and that makes them “Beauty Queens”— some of the most beautiful women in the world--beautiful inside and out!! "Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised." Proverbs 31:30

We've all heard of the Better Business Bureau, as Christians we should take our businesses one step further and have businesses of Excellence. Whatever we do should glorify God. I know that the Lord has called many of His daughters into the business world. If you are a Christian woman and have a business, I will be glad to put a link to your site on this blog. We should support each other as much as we can and I know many of you have products to offer that can be a blessing to us all. Just email me with the link and I will place it here. I do expect, if you are a Christian, that there will not be anything unappropriate on your site for sale. I do reserve the right to deny a link if that is the case. Having a link does not mean that I have purchased from these businesses or fully endorse them.
