Epitome of a Woman is written to encourage the reader through LIFE's journey here on earth. God wants us to have balance and be whole in every area of our lives. The day-to-day tests and trials we go through happen to good people as well as bad.
I believe each and every one of us were put here for a purpose, and whether we fulfill that purpose is left up to us. The key is finding that purpose and direction for your life.
Tough times never last, but tough people do. In this book I share testimonies of overcoming tough women who endured; a couple have already ended their life's journey and fulfilled their destiny here on earth, but they didn't give up. They made it through, and you can, too.
Whatever stage of life you are in - single, married, divorced or widowed - you have to find happiness and peace within yourself.
Follow the dreams and the desires deep within you. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from achieving your destiny in life.
Remember, "a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits."
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. California. My former husband passed away in 2004. I am the mother of two daughters, one son and a grandmother of six grandchildren. I've spent over 30 years working in ministry. I'm the founder of the Run to the Water Ministries, a non-profit ministry.
In 2006 I relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where I now reside in Las Colinas Texas.
Epitome of a Woman is my second book and I am working on a third.
A Virtuous Wife
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. Proverbs 31:10-12 (NIV). Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Proverbs 31:28-29 (NIV).
A God fearing woman is a special woman, she will be greatly praised by her husband. The beauty that is within her makes her beautiful all her life and that beauty comes from the Creator himself, God.
One of the biblical stories that is most popular among christian women is the "Virtuous Woman" found in Proverbs 31. This chapter is the words of King Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. After reading these words, I believe most christian women want to be "A Virtuous Woman."
You can read a book on marriage and say this is how my marriage is going to work, but you never know until you say I do and live in the same house with your mate. During the honeymoon days or months everything is fine, then after the honeymoon is over and reality sets in, you find out married life can get very tough at times. It's not going to always be a bed of roses, but it's something that you both have to work at.
