The reality of the matter could never really be understood, but just for a minute let me enlighten you. The cycle that has manifested has left different levels of brokenness. However every message is created with intent to witness and encourage, along with Gods direction and confirmation of the word. As we approach another special day to honor mother’s and those who have somehow taken the place. It is ok to shower with flowers, eat a nice meal, take a walk by the water, or even dance the night away~ reality is the mother is to be praised! The gift to carry life as God creates a bond so thick, the hopes and dreams to one day raise up a little king or Queen. What a beautiful image of family unity as the mother truly tries her best to attain to not be apart of the broken dreams.
A mother’s cry is so profound in many ways. There is nothing that cannot be done in the mother’s eyes while she reaches for the strength to survive. The rejection tries to settle in but the mother is determined to win. As she watches life grow right before her eyes, she can not help but to cry. In that cry she still cries out for the King meant to shine in her eyes while never loosing focus of the most high. The mother sometimes does not even realize she is a queen, and questions how can that be? I am broken, depressed, tired of being tired, can barely make ends meet, and overall I feel defeated. The answer is not nearly what the mother may feel, or even see, the reality is you will be set free. God sees your pain as you stand up tall with the task to overcome many obstacles, the prosperity that you desire, yes it will take you higher but your spirit can never go empty because God will provide the increase! The defeat settles in from those who have crossed your path, you have to remember that some are meant to stay in your past, and in the future trust you will have the last laugh! You have been taken in ways unimaginable questioning and praying that you will not relive that pain anymore. More than anything you desire to be everything to your children while dealing with things the enemy uses to kill you. Guess what I have the good news GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU!!! Every tear you have cried God is going to completely transform you from the inside. Inside of you a New Heart will be made for you to be able to trust and love once again. The same broken promises that you once faced will be replaced with the dreams that you have prayed for! Remain encouraged and let your beauty shine, you already know all things happen in Gods time! That time will come sooner than you could ever imagine, so let your heart rejoice and be glad!!!
God sees you my Queen your works are not in vain. As you run the house, prepare the food, wash the clothes, discipline the children, run your errands, pay the bills, work your dead end job……..
God sees you my Queen your heart is crying, your soul is dying, internally from all the lying. While you keep on trying the tears are drying. You keep on climbing…….
God sees you my Queen you want to give up, your tired, it seems easier to give up. Your feed up! stop right there, calm down God can and will turn it around…..
God sees you my Queen not as you see yourself, you don’t realize how beautiful you are with or without material and false minerals that deceive your unique beauty by following what society thinks you should be……
God sees you my Queen as you worry about what people are talking about, you want your named removed from their mouth…. What do they know anyway they cannot take care of you or your babies…….That is when God steps in GOD IS YOUR FRIEND………
God sees you my Queen while you and your family continue to disagree about things that should not be, You can change the destiny by believing that with God you are set free…..
God sees you my Queen while you compromise “Oh Just this One last time” “Maybe he is ready”
“Maybe it will work” I have tried it before but I Know this has to Work” ………
Stop right there Queen realize your self worth… you are above precious jewels…..pure as the angels wings…. Beautiful as the flying butterfly…. You are hope…. You are true…. You are worthy of a KING

Universal Fast Tomorrow Wednesday May 4th
Good evening :)
Tomorrow we will have a universal fast from 6am until 6pm, consuming only fruit, water, and the word of God. If you have health concerns in any type of way, please seek God as of what you need to sacrifice. There are many things other than food that God will also honor. As I mentioned in the message I sent out over the weekend, I am looking forward to a better turn out in the Summer. I am in the process of planning a fun, and creative event just for you!
The scripture that we will fast towards reads :
"Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things,but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring praise at the city gate."
Proverbs 31:28-29
Meditation:
In the name of Jesus I stand of a blessing. God grant me the strength to be a better mother, order my steps according to the will you have for my life. Create in me a special divinity that you have designed especially for me. Create in me a new heart built with unconditional love. As I continue this journey, I know that I am not alone. In your word it says you will never leave nor forsake me, and I can and will dwell in your house forever. I am ready for my blessings God!
Peace & Blessings

Fairy Tale
Good evening Queens:
Below is lyrics of one of Anita Bakers most popular songs. You tube it when you get a chance. I found myself just singing this song over and over in my spirit... the lyrics made me reflect. We all want a fairy tale right???
I can remember stories, those things my mother said
She told me fairy tales, before I went to bed
She spoke of happy endings, then tucked me in real tight
She turned my night light on, and kissed my face good night
My mind would fill with visions, of perfect paradise
She told me everything, she said he'd be so nice
He'd ride up on his horse and, take me away one night
I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight
She never said that we would, curse, cry and scream and lie
She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye
The story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-uh
No, uh-huh-mmm-mmm
She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this
She said he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince
She said he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy seas
I'd understand the story, it would be good for me
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
My story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-yes
I don't look for pie up in the sky, baby
Need reality, now, said I
Don't feel the need to be pacified,
Don't try
Honey, I know you lied
You never came to save me, you let me stand alone
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold
I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly
I found the poison apple, my destiny to die
No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin
My fantasy is over, my life must now begin
My story ends, as stories do
Reality steps into view
No longer living life in paradise-or fairy tales-
Eh, hey, hey-ee-mmm, mmm
(laugh-laugh-laugh) Lord have mercy
(laugh) ooo
Mmm, mmm (laugh) ooo-mmm-oh Lord

This song relates to phenomenal mothers in many different ways. Never would a phenomenal mother imagine to live a life that would be filled with such pain. Whatever reason you joined this group, it is definitely for a profound reason. This group "ministry" will provide healing in many different ways. The vision is for you to see how special you are in the midst of not so special circumstances. We all know there is no such thing as perfect anything. Growing up, yeah of course we were consumed with the thought of being a princess and living a fairy tale life with a happy ending. However that is not hardly the case. I call you Queen for several reasons but the main reasons are, you come from royalty~you are a child of God! You are worthy~ deserving to be treated like royalty.
In the paths we have been placed on by choices and free will have brought us to a space that is not quite a happy ending or anything close to it. To be honest it is painful, confusing, and frustrating. In the end your cup is empty, your eyes are dry from all the tears. You begin to plead with your own self realizing enough is enough but still holding on to that fairy tale. What can you do? How can you do it? When do you do it? these are questions that you battle to a certain extent. Anything that places you in a position were you feel defeated is not the position for you. It is important to be lifted at all times. On the flip side, you may be dealing with a principality such as incarceration, drugs, or alcohol which has become a part of your life, because it is the part of your child/children father life or your parents life which has trickled down on you which created a bondage. So how exactly do we tie in all of these things in a simple yet powerful statement.
" God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
Serenity is what is needed in times in which you are experiencing. You hold no control over others but you have control over yourself, and the light that you shed will shine in dark places. As you go through the valley, sinking and climbing out of the swaps~ no that God is right there to pick you up and lead you back to the promise designed just for you. Will it be a fairy tale on earth. I am afraid not, but you be able to experience the truth and loyalty you deserve. You will cry tears of joy and not tears of pain. Never stop believing in the power of God, even when all fails and you feel like giving up. Let God dwell in you, preserve your body, meditate on the word of God, focus on loving you as you continue to teach your children real love.....always remember Gods love is unchanging and available to replenish you everyday!
Peace and Blessings

3 girls that became Phenomenal Women....
Sweet Innocent Child:
A young girl woke up middle in the night to use the bathroom. To her surprise she could not get in the bathroom. She frantically looked in everyroom but could not find anyone. Her little brother was asleep, and she figured her mom was asleep but she could not be found. The little girl went back to the bathroom. This time she was able to push the door back just enough to see her mother laying beside toilet with a needle stuck in arm. She began to cry as she tried to push the door open, but her mother's foot would not allow her to open the door. At this point she thought her mother was dead, so she immediately went to get her brother. Her brother was just 1 years old and she was only 6 years old. She woke her brother up out of her deep sleep, and got him dressed. She was determined to find help for her and her brother. With confidence she opened up the front door, not knowing were she was going. God kept her and her brother as she walked down a dark street in the cool night air. Her brother was crying because of the uncertainty. As she continued to walk down the street a neighbor spotted the small children and ran out to get them. The young girl said my mom is dead and I have to find help for me and my brother. The neighbor went back to the young girls house and immediately called the ambulance. At this point the young girl was very confused but happy the neighbor had helped. Everyday the little girl was not sure what to expect on a daily basis. The only thing that stayed on her mind was making sure her brother was ok.She strived for excellence, but in the back of her mind she vividly saw the needle and eventually new that her mom was on drugs. How exactly is she Phenomenal. She is Phenomenal because inspite of all the confusion she tapped into her divinity to be strong for her and her brother, and she never gave up on her mother even battling what she saw that night.
Letters to A Father:
A teenage girl began to write this letter, not exactly sure were to start. Her dad had been in jail for quite some time. While he was in jail, her life seem to fly by with decisions and choices that consumed her mind. She asked Why Daddy did you have to leave me? Why Daddy does life have to be this way? Why Daddy have you not been here for me? Why Daddy when I cried and screamed you could not save me? With anger the words were like fire to the paper, as her eyes filled with tears she could not explain the feeling. Although in every letter she felt her father's love but just could not grasp the fact that he was not in her life at the time she needed him the most. Decisions were made based on these feelings. After the decisions she became angry. Angry at her life and Angry at her dad. How exactly is she Phenomenal. She is Phenomenal because inspite of all the feeling of neglect she tapped into who she truly was, while becoming a woman. Realizing the first man she loved was in and out of her life, she strongly desired that the man she would choose would not display the same behavoirs that would make her feel neglected. She never gave up on her dad, even after every letter.
Just another Baby Momma- Correction Just another Phenomenal Momma
Battling the decisions of no wanting to have children before being established. Battling the decisions of not really being sure if this was truly the one for her. Realizing that society would just give her another name. Tired and confused of life that somehow led her to her breaking point. Every day she would search deep within to try and understand everything that had happened. One day may feel like heaven and the next day like hell. Seeking validation without the revelation. Wanting and needing to feel love, but never really seeking unconditional love. Love built on broken promises that seemed to linger in her heart, suddenly one day she had relived her childhood. When she looked at the young man she knew that she loved him more than he even loved himself. There was still something missing to this equation. Oh how the young woman prayed that she would never encounter these feelings again, suddenly she knew that her healing was in the midst. For years she had given up so many times, overwhelmed by the so many lies. Realizing what has consumed his soul has become deeper that what once was. Why me she asked God. As she searched for the answer she knew that it would be hard. To love is a beautiful thing, but when you reach the point of coldness the love is lost in the cold rain. The rain had become her tears of pain until she realized that she needed to pray. The young woman knew that God had delivered her from the same pain that she experienced from her parents. The curse has to be broken is what she thought, but first she had to forgive and let go and let God. How exactly is she Phenomenal. She is Phenomenal because she allowed God to take over while accepting the serenity prayer. She began to pray: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference...
May God Bless you in a special way, and remember you are PHENOMENAL

Good Morning
Key thought for today:
You may not feel like your doing a great job, you sometimes feel unappreciated, you grow more tired each day while trying to make since of things, you may not be happy with your life and feel a little confused. The direction it's going in sometimes scares you. You want to accept that you are wonderfully made but somehow you just can't grasp the concept. The pain gets into your body, mind, and soul to the point you just can't let it go. You often wonder why are things this way, Oh God what do you have instore for me as I travel this heck of a journey?
My Sister I encourage you through it all big and small. God comforts you as you tread those steps to your victory. The pain will not last always. Your questions will be answered. Your life is preparing for the switch. Hold on don't give up, because at moments like this the enemy tries to make you committ suicide in your mind. You are not defeated, the enemy is, that's why his job is to decieve you because he knows he already lost that fight long ago. Stand in your storm while opening up your mouth through tears, as your belly fills with praise your breakthrough is on the way!!!!
Glory to God for what is in store for you
Peace and Blessings

Final Meditation 20
This concludes our first group meditation. You are a proverbs 31 woman!
Peace and Blessings
Shanelle
Proverbs 31 woman
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows she has no fear for her household; for ALL OF THEM ALL CLOTHED IN SCARLET. SHE MAKES COVERINGS FOR HER BED; SHE IS CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN AND PURPLE. HER HUSBAND IS RESPECTED AT THE CITY GATE, WHERE HE TAKES HIS SEAT AMONG THE ELDERS OF THE LAND. SHE MAKES LINEN GARMENTS AND SELLS THEM, AND SUPPLIES THE MERCHANTS WITH SASHES. SHE IS CLOTHED WITH STRENGTH AND DIGNITY; SHE CAN LAUGH AT THE DAYS TO COME. SHE SPEAKS WITH WISDOM, AND FAITHFUL INSTRUCTION IS ON HER TONGUE. SHE WATCHES OVER THE AFFAIRS OF HER HOUSEHOLD AND DOES NOT EAt THE BREAD OF IDLENESS. HER CHILDREN ARISE AND CALL HER BLESSED. HER HUSBAND ALSO, AND PRAISES HER. MANY WOMEN DO NOBLE THINGS, BUT YOU SURPASS THEM ALL. CHARM IS DECEPTIVE, AND ALL BEAUTY IS FLEETING; BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD IS TO BE PRAISED. GIVE HER THE REWARD SHE HAS EARNED, AND LET HER WORKS BRING HER PRAISE AT THE CITY GATE.
PROVERBS 31: 10-31

Meditation 19
"The lord is my shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your r...od and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you annoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER"
Psalm 23

In the meantime
In the Meantime
When you enter those in between stages throughout your life that is called “the meantime” sometimes it may feel uncomfortable because of the fear of the unknown. The question is what do you do in the meantime? Your wore out, beyond tired, enough is enough, feed up, sick to your inner core, and ready to punch someone in the face. How can you redirect that energy that has consumed you? You have become tired of talking, and don’t want to hear any explanations. Your awaiting change, but not just any change, THE CHANGE YOU DESERVE! Ok so change is required and we realize it does not happen over night, and most of the time we are inpatient and we want things to change on our time.
God requires us to have faith. If we have faith the size of a mustard seed, great things WILL begin to manifest. Faith without works is dead. This means it is impossible to please God. Faith will place you in a realm of believing God is able to do anything but fail. We then find ourselves in the meantime. This is an intimate time with God believe it or not. Seeking God while you’re in the meantime will allow you to enter into the living presence of God. In the meantime you are required to PRAY! PRAY WHEN YOU’RE HAPPY, PRAY WHEN YOU’RE SAD, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! In prayer your praise puts you closer to your promise. Don’t worry about what it looks like, even if you feel like crap. Press yourself to prayer. Not just any prayer but a fervent prayer. Trust God my sister, within that trust you will find your answer.

Meditation 16
"You were shaped and fashioned to look the enemy in the eyes and confront it head on. No don't avoid the pain of the process, but don't settle for it either. You did not come this far for it to end like this. On the other side is redemption- God is going to bring you back. On the other side of "this" is re...storation- God is going to give you more than you lost!"- Elder Vikki Johnson

Meditation 15
"Are you still aligned with what was? Are you stuck waiting for what will be? If you find yourself focused on the past or the future, you are missing the precious gift of NOW! Now is a wonderful place to be. When tough times come, we havea tendency to lower our expectations and end up settling for less tha...n God wants us to have. In order to appreciate NOW, we must live by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen." - Elder Vikki Johnson

"What you used to do and who people knew you as doesn't matter anymore. In spite of your mess-ups, in spite of your mistakes, in spite of your past misery or maybe your present misery, God's purpose in you still stands. God is great enough to give you a new start even when others have given up on you!" - Elder Vikki Johnson

Meditation 13
" The greatest gift of all is to carry life. Some may have to pray a prayer like Hannah, and others may not have to pray at all. Today I will appreciate the motherhood God has given me. I will embrace the innocent smile, while praying to do all things right. God guide me on my journey of motherhood"

Powerless
Hello Phenomenal Mothers!!!!
I pray all is well, and I trust that your breakthrough is on the way real soon:) welcome again to a group that will produce great healing and a phenomenal change. Drug addiction,alcoholism, and incarceration are strong holds that has so many families bound by the work of the enemy. As phenomenal mothers coming from all walks of life we have a responsibility to overcome all adversity that the enemy plans to use to destroy Gods purpose for our lives. As you enter different phases of your spiritual growth, you will encounter troubling things. The reason why they are troubling is because your put in a uncomfortable position were you have no choice to trust God. God is in control of your circumstance, but sometimes has to shake you up to get your attention.
Last night I went to a N/A meeting to offer support as well as to be healed. No I am not an addict but I am the daughter of an addict, as well as the significant other of an addict. In listening I heard many things that allowed me to go back to an area of my life when I had no idea what was going on. The addicts that shared admitted to living their lives in insanity, making choices that cause a negative effect on their family and children, and even hating their own reflection. As I looked around the room I can recall coming home from school not really knowing what to expect. Being consumed by a fear of the unknown soon led me to becoming a over achiever. At least in striving for perfection my mind would not have the time to focus on the environment. As years went by my understanding became deeper but filled with anger and the pain of the addiction.
I looked to the left and I saw a man preparing a cup of coffee appearing to be tired from work but in need of a meeting. I looked to the right and I saw a man that had his head down in depression, and bound by pain. I looked ahead of me and saw a man that begin to speak and tell his story of how he made the 12 steps to recover from his addiction. The key statement that stuck to me was " as an addict you must first admit that you are powerless over your addiction, and even powerless over yourself" he began to speak about being a addict and trying to make it work were he could still get high. That did not work long, he admitted to surrendering to his higher power which is God. From that day on he was able to walk away and gain self control through the power of prayer. Step 11 is the best step to me his exact words was " pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray!" Were there is prayer there is hope. So as I am sitting there I felt a reassurance that God is more than able to deliver many as I heard this woman say she was 10 years clean and the man next to her 8 years clean, and the speaker of the hour 12 years clean.
There is another world out there filled with lost people struggling with insecurity, and pain. They have succumbed to believing their drug of choice is their power. Wrong answer their power is in prayer because they are powerless!
Pray and watch what God does for your circle! Your healing rests in you surrendering as you are while being prepared through the journey. Don't ever give up- victory is your name. Your past is not your promise. Trust in God your healing is on the way!
Peace and Blessings

Break the chains of the past that effect my motherhood, give me a new beginning by giving me a forgiving heart. Today I will operate in fo...rgiveness, as I trust in you for all answers"
