Hey Girls! I have some exciting news that I just had to share with you today! I am re-launching my website pastorlauralee.com & weekly blog! WOOHOO!

I had to lay down a couple of my personal dreams for a short season to assist Church Alive in birthing a long time dream of an internship/school of ministry! Fast - forward to 2018, not only has our new Church Alive School of Ministry launched but after much encouragement, strong nudges from the Holy Spirit and a few literal pushes from my closest peeps, I have taken the plunge to relaunch! 

Every Wednesday, I will drop a few lines of wisdom I have learned along the way during this amazing journey of following Jesus.  Join me as I give you a birds- eye view to my day to day Life in the Hood- Literally , My neighbor-Hood , Marriage-Hood , Parent-Hood , soon to be GiGI- Hood, Pastor- Hood and of Course My SISTERHOOD!

My heart is to provide a place for laughter, common-sense and wisdom all the while throwing as much hope & courage as possible  ON & IN YOU my sister- friend! 
Once a month , I plan to feature a special weekly wisdom for those that journey as leading ladies in part or full time ministry and offer a closed group setting for connection and Q & A! 

I thought a great way to kick off the re-launch of my site, was to remind YOU today of this one thing! 

YOU ARE STRONG! 

Check out this wisdom nugget from Scripture in Psalm 46:5 NKJV
“God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.”
 
Who is HER in this passage of scripture?  
YOU!

 When God is in the midst of you that means literally the center of who you are! Strong Concordance break it down like this- Your inward parts! God becomes the Center of your LIFE!

When you begin living your everyday life where GOD is literally in the midst of you - there is a divine connection that happens by way of a great exchange! You exchange your weaknesses & insecurities for His GREAT strength! 

Sister-friend, I am not sure about you , but my list of insecurities & weaknesses seems to change & grow in each new season of my life-but I am very confident of this one thing! 
 I am stronger than I think I am - YES MAM! ( this is where you say AMEN:) 
Check out what Paul says about this great exchange! 

2 Corinthians 12: 9 &10 NKJV

“ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

In fact, when you make this exchange you then begin living life through a God-filter - you filter out your worries, pain , hurts and anxiety and filter through a supernatural confidence , promise , purpose and of course Strength! 

WORD TO THE WISE:
Bottom Line Sisterhood … You are Strong! 
You are strong not because I say so , your BFF says so or even the feminist movement says so,You are Strong because God Says SO. 
But words are just words unless you take HIM at HIS word and apply it daily! Make the great exchange today friend!

Strong Women.
May We Know Them
May We Be Them
May We Raise Them
