Are You Forgetting Your Worth?


Some days, I feel lower than a snake's belly. Sometimes, a friend confides that she feels completely stressed out, or a family member tells me they are burdened with fear. That's when I have to remind myself, my friend, my family that they are worthy of God's love and grace.

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

What makes you forget your worth? Worry? Fear? Failures? These are all lies from the devil. He slithers over and whispers in our ear, "You're not good enough." Don't believe it. We don't need to dwell on worries and fears. Those are God's specialties. Take another look at failure. Each time we fail, we can learn something new. Attack the problem from a different angle next time. My dad always said 'feedback, not failure.' Hold on to these promises:

You are important.


You are precious to God.


You are a daughter of the Most High King!

We are princesses and should act like it. Should we walk around with our noses in the air, acting like the world should bow down to us? Noooooooo, ma'am! But please, spend your time doing philanthropic work like royalty. Show others the love and grace that God has shown you. Remind them they are God's chosen children. Welcome them to the family. There are lots of spare bedrooms in our Father's Royal Palace.

Female in Motion Health Update:  I started my radiation treatments this week. It was scheduled to begin next week, but they had an opening, and I jumped at it. With the snowstorm, however, my next appointment won't be until Friday. I am excited to get this next phase of my treatment rolling and underway. BREAKING HEALTH NEWS!!! My hair is starting to grow! Yes, the brown is all gone, but the white hair is starting to get some length.  I'll post a photo later this week.

Notable Quote:

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) 
 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
