well this would be my very last post here on tumblr. I am leaving tumblr to move on to wordpress. two years have passed since my first attempt at creating a blog and lets just say that alot can happen, A LOT. I am not the same person i was two years ago. I am wiser, stronger, and more mature. I have learned not only about myself but about blogging. i have changed the name of my blog and approach as well. However i still have the same vision; to inspire and help those see themselves the way God sees them, and by them i mean girls lol.
in the future i would broaden my audience to men. whoever is out there if you are reading this, pack your stuff and move with me to garlandofbeauty.wordpress.com
see you,
brigette

The single woman can be involved in the Lords work on a level married woman cannot because of the distractions and responsibilities of being a wife and mother. Ironically, some single women can be so distressed Bly their single state that they become emotionally more distracted than a wife and mother of four.

Enjoy who you are
"Many people feel worthless, insecure and unacceptable but God looked at everything He created, including you, and said 'it is very good'. He approved it completely. God knows everything about each of us, and He loves unconditionally. God approves us; He may not approve everything we do, but He does approve of us as His beloved children. I encourage you to make a decision to not only enjoy the labor of your hands, but to approve of and enjoy yourself as well

I receive this word a few months ago by my sister Marlene. This word is confirmation. She said she saw me in an elevator. Me and God would go higher and higher but sometimes there's gonna be stops in different floors that really aren't as necessary to stop at. It's more like a hindrance. So what are those things that are making us stop the elevator? What are the floors that we need to get out of and keep moving up? What are things that we are holding on that need to be release to God?

Woman, remain firm in the midst of the process
Remain strengthen during the process. God wants you to remain firm during the process, in the midst of that weakness. Declare new strengths. God says in His word that He strengthens you through weakness. He strengthens your feeble knees. Satan tries to steal your strength and take you out of this life but that's when the Holy Spirit comes and strengthens. Remain firm in the midst of the process. God allows processes to take to you to a greater dimension, so that Jesus will be glorify through us, and because He is changing our character. God allows it because you have a calling and because there is a greater blessing. In order for you to get that blessing you must be broken. God draws near to the brokenhearted. Although you feel you are falling you will not fall. You will not be utterly cast down because He upholds you with His right hand. There are process in your life so that He will be glorify in a powerful way. Do not start to doubt or murmur. sometimes we accuse someone else. He wants to take us to a new level a new dimension. We must declare healing in the midst of weakness. God created the world through the word. Close doors of negativity in your life. Close doors of unbelief. God uses processes to Test our character, if our trust is with The Lord. God wants you in the midst of the processes to know that death has no right in your life because you serve God. Declare life. In the midst of your process God gives you the victory.

Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants,and aliens excluded from the rights of citizens) but you now share citizenship with the saints (Gods own people, consecrated and set apart for Him) and you belong to God's household.

Conversation.
here is a conversation that has been going on long before this universe was created—a conversation taking place in the spiritual realm. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were part of it. Throughout the history of humanity others have joined it, and there is something buried in each of our hearts that tells us we were created to be part of it as well. We long for it. We yearn to be in on it. But despite giving our lives to Christ and being born again in the Spirit, we don’t always know how to plug into it. So we stay in earth’s chat rooms rather than praying from heaven’s throne room. Even Jesus’ disciples did not ask Him how to preach, but how to pray. God wants us to enter into his heavenly communication room.

I feel very strongly that marriage is not a higher calling than the single state. Happy indeed are those people, married, or single who have discovered that happiness is not found in marriage but in a right relationship with God

Princess
PSALM 45:13-15 "The princess looks absolutely magnificent, decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold. In embroidered robes she is escorted to the king. Her attendants, the maidens of honor who follow her, are led before you. They are bubbling with joy as they walk in procession and enter the royal palace." Ladies God see you as much royalty, when u walk the streets, don't be prideful and think runway, be humble and think conquerer, beloved sisters! Princess are looked at and looked up to to be led; lead them sisters; because u already have the "princess spirit" be encouraged! To kno u are loved and are beautiful; mirror mirror on the wall who is the most beautiful of them all; Jesus answers back! Saying YOU MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS!

One of the thorniest and most difficult things we humans are ever called upon to do is to respond to evil with kindness, and to forgive the unforgivable. We love to read stories about people who have responded to hatred with love, but when that very thing is demanded of us personally, our default seems to be anger, angst (dread or anguish), depression, righteousness, hatred, etc. Yet study after study shows that one of the keys to longevity and good health is to develop a habit of gratitude and let go of past hurts.

Open the door
There are different types of doors in the world that are made from all kinds of materials. There are doors that are made of wood, aluminum, steel, and others. Yet the toughest door on the planet is the door of our heart. Unless we open the door of our hearts, nothing and no one can enter into it. A door stands between what’s on the outside and what’s inside. Jesus stands on the outside of our hearts, and it’s not His character to simply bust down the door. He will never force Himself in our lives. He simply stands at the door of our heart and knocks, waiting to be let in. Once we open ourselves to Him, He comes in like an amazing flood, and from that moment forward, our lives are never the same. He shows us a love we’ve never known, turns on the light in our dark lives, forgives us, and washes away all our sin and shame. The door of our heart stands between a bright future in God and our present condition. In the day that you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart. Don’t refuse and reject His love. Open the door of your heart to Him and keep it open. If you don’t open the door to Him, you have opened the door to someone else. Someone will rule your life and if it’s not God–it’s the enemy. The devil only means you harm and a life that will end in destruction. God only wants to love you and show you just how real He is. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20 KJV)
