God has been so FAITHFUL in meeting me as I continue to SHOW UP for my Life. Many years ago, I began an intentional journey to GET WISDOM. I searched diligently throughout the book of Proverbs and took a few hundred women on the journey with me. 😍
I learned that Wisdom is a gift from God but also a gift you can search out - in addition, discernment is a bonus gift you can ask God to receive!
So I resolved in my mind and heart that Wisdom was the greatest Gift I could ask God for, and I took the steps forward to READ, WRITE & HIDE God's word in my heart as a lifestyle, not just a hobby. Years of this lifestyle only fanned into flame the strength and endurance I would need NeW and FresH every day .
On this Wisdom Wednesday, as I awoke to another day of my reality, I reminded myself of how very thankful I am for the written WORD OF GOD, which is this Warrior's Weapon of CHOICE 💕 WHY?
Because the WORD embodies the spirit of TRUTH. Samual Gordon says that the TRUTH is a presence, not a thing, a fact, or a statement. The fact that I show up willingly to meet HIM and HIS truth while other days I sometimes drag myself to my chair to only read the same scripture over and over and over is NOT forgotten by my Savior! His word that I read, write and hide in my heart will only continue to make me #warriorStrong to fight the enemy.
I leave you with one last thought, which is such an encouraging reminder to me in this season of a life that I have seemingly lost ...
The Adversary becomes a help to us, and all things that seem to be AGAINST us turn out to ASSIST us along our way! A. B . Simpson

Romans 8:37-39 AMP
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. 38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
