Hello Ladies. May God bless you all with peace and understanding on today. I know many of us had a rough past. We've all went through some harsh, soul wrenching things. What made them super hard was that we or at least I was trying to do it on my own. Yes I knew of God, but I didn't know how to submit to him. To be honest back then I don't think I wanted to. So I went through hell because of me. Even though God had been showing himself to me from a toddler. I had a I can do it on my own and I don't depend on anyone kind of attitude. But something happened. God made it clear to me that I needed him. That I needed him to direct my paths.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

Psalms 119:66‭-‬73 KJV

Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart. Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

Psalm 119:66‭-‬73 NIV

When I was doing things on my own I could not find a husband. I couldn't even find a good boyfriend. But when I begin to let God in I, a girl who was told I would only be good enough for a pimp, was found by a husband and married. I a girl who was told I would never get pregnant was able to find peace. And in that peace God showed me that he will bless me eventually. I went through many phases in life. But in the end I submitted to God. And every negative thing that was spoken of me or over me has turned to dust. And those people who spoke it has had to eat those words. So you see. We GI through things, it may seem evil and wrong. But what others mean for bad God can turn it and make it mean for good. That experience may seem bad and hurt, but God can bless you with joy beyond that pain which is temporary. So ladies who are going through, smile. Because God is on your side and he has many things lined up for you that is better than your imagination. God bless you ladies. May you all find peace in God in Jesus name. Amen
