King's Daughters

After a few people mentioning that there were spelling and grammar errors in my book, Hope's Journey, I decided to have a read!  Much to my embarrassment I realised that the incorrect version of the book went to print.  I am so sorry to those of you that have bought it, you should have said something!  Anyway, the correct version is going to Amazon right away and the few unedited versions that I have I am going to offer for £5 instead of £10, if you would like one of these duds for a reduced price you can get it here - you will get the same story but with a few typos.

In Genesis 2:18 it says that God gave a woman to Adam as 'help' meet for him. This word 'help' comes from the Hebrew word  עזר ‛êzer (ay'-zer) which means aid or help.  This word aid or help comes from the root word עזר ‛âzar (aw-zar') which means to surround, protect, help & succour .   I was fascinated when I discovered this as I always saw my helper role as a woman as the sort of helper that makes tea for meetings and does the dishes, you know what I mean?  This word ' êzer ' seems so much stronger than that.  It is as if the role of the helper is to protect the man when he is in great distress or need. So as women we are not designed as helpers to make a cuppa tea, no we are way more than that.  God designed us to surround our husband with help & protection.  Since we already know that we are the weaker vessel physically, it stands to reason that this is not a physical help or protection but perhaps a protection of his

Being a mother is the most amazing thing in the world and I am so grateful to God that I have been able to have four healthy children.  I know many women who haven't been blessed with children and their story breaks my heart.  This mother's day I want to thank God for the privilege of being a mother and I want to do this by supporting other mother's who have taken eight children under their wings in Watoto, Uganda.  These amazing women have made a decision to live in a house to love and raise children that have been left orphans by issues such as poverty, HIV/AIDS, war and some children that have been rescued from the child soldier crisis in Uganda. Last week I had the privilege of hearing the stories first hand from some of the orphans and hear their beautiful voices sing in the Watoto Children's Choir .  My 'first world' selfishness was exposed and I was humbled by these beautiful people sharing their story of the hope that they have found in Jesus.  As I wa

Being a woman reflects the heart of God, so does being a man but we are focusing on the woman side of things. At the core of our heart what we cry out for is the same as what God cries out for.  Did that ever occur to you?  I am not talking about the superficial things, these things come from a deeper root.  Superficial things like I want a boy friend for example comes from the root of wanting to be loved, needed, accepted, admired, etc, etc.  Do you see what I mean?  When we crave yummy food we do not reflect God's hunger... I don't think He eats ha ha, but we reflect the need for comfort, satisfaction, enjoyment & pleasure.  These root desires are for the satisfaction of the flesh and since God doesn't have a body am sure these things don't reflect Him.  What I am trying to point out, is that whatever comes from our heart, deep down inside, is also what comes from God's heart.  There is a song that I really like from the movie 'Ten Things I H

I would like to introduce one of our King's Daughters Conference speakers to you - she is so lovely, you are just going to love hearing from her!  Her name is Anna and she writes (and speaks) about the stuff that is important to us women in her book "Becoming You". Most of us want to find some reason for being alive. "Becoming You" considers what would happen if we went to God for the answer. What it would mean if God was the someone who had created us, that he did so with a purpose, and that we could find out what that purpose was from him. Part book, part workbook, Anna shares her experiences of seeking God to find out who she was made to be and what her life is for. Like a makeover, it opens with the 'before', as the reader considers the way that she sees herself and ends with the 'after' as she looks at her real self - the woman she is becoming. Ideal for any woman searching for the meaning of life, "Becoming You" looks at the ways

The theme of the King's Daughters Conference 2011 is BEAUTY! Did you know that only 2% of women think that they are beautiful. Watch this video and see why most of us feel like we no longer measure up to the worlds standards of beauty!  This year's conference is going to focus on how we as King's Daughters can KNOW that we truly are beautiful - inside and out.  We were made in the image of God to reflect His beauty. I have so much more exciting news to follow soon. xxx
