[aniah-who]

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

— Isaiah 2:22 (KJV)

Simply a warning to us from God to cease from putting our trust in man; and a call to, instead, place our trust in God as our source of help, hope, and life. The breath of man is extinguished in an instant. Man is, ultimately, unreliable and unworthy of our confidence and of our faith.

Ladies + Gents- ya girl is rebranding.

I found JESUS. 🫶🏽

And although there will be a lot of advice and talk on how to still become a dream girl- my goal is to speak on how to be a GODLY girl. That GODLY GIRL.

I know many will see this and say “you’re trying to force your “religion” on us except I’m not. I’m trying to introduce you to LOVE, real love.

I know GOD will bless me for this, and I pray that I am also salt and light to your life.

Content will still be engaging, informative, helpful and useful esp for women! However it will be Godly-influenced.

I pray this resonates with you. I pray that you will allow God to permeate inside of you and give Him a chance.

I am just a vessell.

I will keep my name because it is my trademark and I still believe being your own dream girl is still vital as a woman except the true beauty that comes from within is from GOD.

🫶🏽 thanks for understanding and I pray you all will walk this beautiful journey with me.

[healedbyhoney]

Life is so beautiful. Let us be grateful to the one who blessed us with it and be grateful for the people he has blessed us with who make life even more beautiful, challenging, fun and spontaneous. Embrace your brothers and sisters, embrace your husbands and wives, embrace the change that comes with it all and please I beg of you, women and men of God, embrace your children and yourself. But before all things.. embrace our God. None of these things would be without him after all💜

Gospel Reading

Jesus went out into the hills to pray; and he spent the whole night in prayer to God. When day came he summoned his disciples and picked out twelve of them; he called them ‘apostles’: Simon whom he called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor.

He then came down with them and stopped at a piece of level ground where there was a large gathering of his disciples with a great crowd of people from all parts of Judaea and from Jerusalem and from the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon who had come to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. People tormented by unclean spirits were also cured, and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him because power came out of him that cured them all.

Reflection on the painting

Bartimaeus, the central figure in today's Gospel reading, has always struck me as a person of remarkable spirit, despite the challenging circumstances of his life. His determination to make contact with Jesus is evident. He didn’t quietly or politely approach the Lord; instead, he shouted out with boldness, “Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me.” Even when the crowd scolded him and told him to be silent, Bartimaeus only raised his voice louder. Here was a man utterly focused on reaching Jesus, undeterred by those trying to put him in his place. It was his deep, desperate need that drove him to seek the Lord with such unwavering resolve.

And his determination bore fruit. Jesus took notice and, significantly, asked those very people who had tried to silence Bartimaeus to call him over. This first part of the story speaks volumes to us today. It encourages us to persist in seeking the Lord, even when we encounter resistance from those who might try to hold us back. Especially in a highly secularised society, most people would not want us to get close to Christ. In many ways, the culture around us often pressures us to remain silent about our faith. But we are called to embody the spirit of Bartimaeus—bold, determined, and relentless in our pursuit of God.

Our small stained glass roundel was made in Nuremberg between 1517-1527. One of the most significant developments in 16th century Nuremberg was the influence of the Italian Renaissance, which brought a more naturalistic style to stained glass designs. The glassmakers combined Gothic traditions with emerging Renaissance aesthetics, leading to more sophisticated shading techniques and three-dimensional effects. Artists like Veit Hirsvogel and the Hirschvogel family were notable figures in this period, contributing to the city’s reputation for producing high-quality stained glass. These smaller roundels (only 30cm. in diameter) would have been made for private devotional worship. We see Bartimaeus depicted with exquisite detailing, sitting outside the walls of Jericho. A man is seen in the distance, stubborn, with arms crossed. He was probably one of the people who didn't want Bartimaeus to meet Jesus.

I believe in the sun even if it's not shining, I believe in love even when I'm alone, I believe in God even when he is silent. I never lose Faith!

SHORT MEDITATION ON Daily Verse

Proverbs 11:24 (NIV): One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

What types of things can be given? Our Time, Money, Love, Other Resources, Good News of Gospel, and such

What should we do - Give or Withhold? Give freely but justly and God will decide whether we gain even more or not. He will protect us from poverty that comes from unwise over-giving. Do not be unjustly stingy. Do not be generous and unwise giver. Check your motive when giving anything whether out of cheerfulness or unwillingness (2 Corinthians 9:7)

How can we decide? For godly wisdom on whether to give or withhold, ask God (James 1:5) in prayer (Ephesians 6:18) and God promises to give answers and provide for all our needs (Philippians 4:19)

Hey Christian Sister Girl,

I know we all desire to be like Esther - to be chosen and highly favored, but let’s not forget that Esther could also be trusted to carry the burden of her nation. She was made queen “for such a time as this”, she moved in Godly wisdom and courage, she was available and she pressed in when it mattered the most.

This also holds true for you. You have been given the ability to bring about change through intercession.

Today is a good day to intercede for someone else. Today is a good day to be selfless in PRAYER. Today is a good day to be available. Today is a good day to PRAY.

Truth bombs from Matthew 7... brace yourselves.

Handle yourself first and address your own sin before you even think to open up your mouth in judgment against anyone else (verses 1-5).

Don't bother giving anything of great value to anyone who won't appreciate it. They'll only show a lack of reverence for and abuse what is precious (verse 6).

Not everything is going to be handed to you by God. There is action required on your part, so you shouldn't have an idle faith and expect for things to just fall into your lap. A hole isn't going to dig itself when God gave you the shovel.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Treat others the way that you want to be treated.

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

There are many roads that lead to hell, but there is only one that leads to eternal life, and that's Jesus. Jesus is the strait and narrow gate. Don't be deceived.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

You can learn a lot about a person by observing the kind of fruit(s) that (s)he bears (verses 16-20).

It is possible to know the name of Jesus and not person of Jesus. You can profess to be a Christian all you want, but if you don’t have a personal relationship with Christ, at the end of the day, you're only fooling yourself and are in a very dangerous place. Truly get to know Him. Trust me, He's worth it (verses 21-23).

The Word of God, Jesus' commandments and sayings, aren't suggestions. Choosing to keep or ignore them is a life or death situation. The ball is in your court, and you have free will to choose to do what is wise or to do what is foolish (verses 24-27).

In a culture obsessed with surface-level perfection, the concept of a "dream girl" often gets lost in the noise. For me, embodying this archetype goes far beyond aesthetics; it’s about cultivating a profound connection with God and continuously checking in with Him about the choices that shape my life and who I am in Christ.

Each morning, I carve out a moment of stillness. With a cup of coffee in hand, I turn inward, seeking guidance on everything from my ambitions to my relationships. This practice isn’t just routine; it’s a lifeline. In those quiet moments, I confront my hopes, fears, and doubts, inviting divine clarity into the chaos of life. Waiting on God to show me in His words, through signs, divine revelation and even people. He will speak if you ask, His wisdom is infinite and true.

Being a dream girl means embracing vulnerability, acknowledging that perfection is an illusion. It’s about realizing that our worth isn’t measured by social standards but by our authenticity through who God says we are and our ability to connect with Him. When I lean into faith, I find the strength to navigate challenges and the courage to celebrate small victories, even when they go unnoticed because He says “I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ who sets me free” 🫶🏽 Checking in with God means taking the right road and a woman walking with God is walking in her purpose.

So, to all the dream girls out there: let’s redefine what it means to aspire to greatness. Let’s check in with God, allowing His wisdom to illuminate our paths. Life isn’t about fitting into a mold; it’s about carving out our unique journey and shining brightly in a world that often tries to dim our light.

What does being a dream girl mean to you? How does faith shape your journey? Let’s explore these questions together. After all, the most profound connections often emerge from deep conversations and the willingness to reflect on our true selves.
