It is a Labor of Love to interview women to learn about how God has rescued, restored and given them NEW LIFE in HIM. There are many fabulously talented women of value who have come a long way, and who are willing to share their strength and hope. A mere sketch adds significance to our collected impact. We were chosen to be a mighty Spiritual FORCE! Our shared joys, talents and victories are a source of hope to all. The vision of Women of Value is to build a bridge, or a bond between courageous, and creative women. It takes a large portion of faith to be obedient to Christ and shine regardless of hurts, hardships and tragedies. Passing on HOPE requires all of us to teach by our softness and our quiet example of perseverance. It has been a great pleasure to get to know a few who have shared their Spirit filled testimonies. Purely, the intention of this blog is for Christian women to get to know each other on a deeper level.
All women who have relocated to live in Mexico have left behind important sisterhoods. We do not seek to replace those relationships, but to find areas in common with new friends. Please indulge your soul with the tales of women who have poured out their struggles and victories for the readers benefit. As the interviewer, the profile that I post herein, condenses what takes a lifetime to live and comprehend. In depth details about our lives, or our family roots are up to the individual to share, or publish, or not. After interviewing 20 + women, I write a summary of what was shared. Hopefully, as random Lakeside readers get to know one another, bits of the story posted will foster a new relationship as we seek kindred spirits. With each encounter, I press for the positive impact of how Jesus turns a tragedy into a victory. Few women have lived a perfectly 'charmed' life without some sort of challenge. It is my delight to share what "I see" in the soul of the one who boldly pours out their journey. We give God glory when we share our story. With a fresh lens, this blog is dedicated to commemorating significant chapters of life for a few local Women of Value. Peeking behind the veil of how we appear, we discover the deeper, the more important things that have made us who we have become to the glory of God. AMEN
Today, just like in all past generations, we long to be “known, accepted, and useful". As we draw close to Jesus, we come to experience His Spirit personally revealing to us… the secrets of heaven. Jesus sees us as His, perfect in His eyes, worthy of eternity in heaven. Jesus pursues us, He changes us, and by His love, Jesus allows us to see into our hearts, what He sees in us. Jesus came to give us ABUNDANT LIFE. Each fabulous female has inspired others by their refreshing example of love, grace, and mercy as we are all being changed, day by day into His likeness. Each Woman of Value featured herein shines a unique Light despite the troubles in this world. Thanks to all who have allowed me to ask those probing questions. Our "Presence over Perfection" is what God and others long for. "Always ready to give an answer to everyone who asks...a reason concerning the Hope that is in us." 1 Peter 3:15 - May your hope expand in Jesus!

Exhort, Encourage, Teach, Reach, Pastor, Prophesy, SPEAK LIFE with the gift the Holy Spirit gives. ❤ Lord, help me to guard my mouth so that I will not grieve You when I speak. Help me to be kind when I speak correction, or when it is necessary to admonish. From a heart filled with Your Spirit, enable my tongue to be Your voice as I speak. Help me to never speak words that in any way belittle a person, or cause them to lose hope or feel unworthy of their salvation in Jesus Christ. Keep me from ever saying anything that would bring grief to You Lord.
