7 Characteristics of a Victorious Woman

Speaking In Agreement With God's Plan for Your Life

2010-03-02T20:39:00.001-08:00

It has been eight years since I learned a new language. Years prior I had been speaking against God’s plan for my life. Had I been doing it on purpose? No. I had been doing it out of ignorance – lack of knowledge. Never reading and applying the principles of the Word of God to my life.

After two years of not attending church and wanting to find a church where I wasn’t known (that is another story for a different entry) I walked into a church I had never attended and heard the Pastor teaching in English, yet a foreign language. I head words like destiny, purpose, empowerment and a number of scripture references which spoke to me as well. I heard that I was destined for a life of success because Christ came that I might have life and have it abundantly. Who knew? I sure didn’t. For years I had been speaking death to my life. The outward manifestation of my life had been created by the words I had spoken regarding my life. Those words were totally contrary to God’s plan for my life.

What about you? What words are you using to create your life? Are you “broke” because you have been saying “I am broke”? Are your children out of control because you spoke into their lives that they were “full of the devil”? It is time to shift your atmosphere and speak the plan God has for your life. Learn the language of a faith filled purposeful woman. The foundation for God’s plan for your life is Jeremiah 29:11 - I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. (Message)

VLW Continues Blog Tour with Sonja Samuel, Author of "When I Accepted Me"

2010-01-09T20:06:00.000-08:00

Why is self-esteem important to you? Self esteem is important to me because after dealing with a difficult separation and divorce, I found myself struggling to rebuild my self esteem. That whole experience had taken me down a road of despair and depression like I had never experienced before. High self esteem had never been a problem for me so when life became difficult and it challenged me to question myself, I was completely thrown for a loop. It caused me to question my self- worth and value, and in the end I really struggled with accepting myself. I started thinking something must be wrong with me. Now, based on the Word of God I knew this wasn’t true but I still struggled. Once I was able to regain my confidence and repair the damage to my self esteem, I begin to see that I had gotten lost in my emotions when it really was about what was going on in my head. High self esteem starts with what we think! Of course, sometimes we suffer from ‘thinking stinking’ and that can present a different set of issues; overall, I learned that to develop high self esteem we must examine what we think because that is what shapes our perspective and allows us to accept ourselves along with the challenges of life from a more positive perspective than negative one. That’s why I focused my book on positive affirmations for accepting me.

"When I Accepted Me Blog" Tour with author Sonja Samuel

2010-01-09T16:35:00.001-08:00

Welcome to the When I Accepted Me written by Sonja Samuel
Blog Tour

What can a person do to build high self-esteem?

I would recommend starting with what I call my ACCEPT Principles:

A – Learn to accept your strengths and weaknesses. As humans we are a work in progress. Everyone has an up side to who they are and a down side. It is our down side that continues to remind us of our humanity and keeps us seeking to be better and do better. Often our weaknesses are just unguarded strengths that we must continue to manage them if it is something we can’t change but our weaknesses DO NOT make us a bad person.

C – Concentrate on the positives. It is real easy to focus on the negative and our world is full of them. However, to focus on the positives it starts with making a choice to do so. From there you make a commitment to release any and all negativity; negative thoughts, negative emotions and negative relations. The Bible says ‘think on these things ...whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, and whatever is of good report.’

C - Connect to your passion and you’ll connect to your purpose. Find the things in life that you are really passionate about and involve yourself in them. That will do more to help you have the confidence that you need to succeed and win over any adversity life presents. Also you will notice how much happier your life will be because of it.

P – Persevere. It has been said when the going gets tough the tough gets going. In this life we will have trouble, as the Bible tells us so we must hold fast to the faithfulness of God and His promises to never leave us alone. When tough times now come my way, I often affirm and encourage myself with the scripture that says ‘this too shall pass.’

T – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your understanding. We may not see the hand of God at work but we must trust that He is at work on our behalf. That is called the providence of God.

As a result of her long term complications of diabetes, her kidneys failed and she received a heroic kidney transplant from her brother. The doctors’ complete plan of action was to return her to the transplant list this time for a pancreas in order to normalize her blood sugar and best preserve her new kidney.

A new kidney, a new pancreas—there was nothing more to ask God for, right? Kidney failure, transplants and concern about the worsening economy forced Jacquie to evaluate the viability of the business and whether to continue her father’s legacy, or secure her son’s future. What she came to recognize was that her father was much more than brick and mortar, she closed the business. Or so she thought this was her decision. Four short months after the pancreas transplant, Jacquie contracted the West Nile virus. This time she was hospitalized in a comatose state for a month. Miraculously she regained full consciousness, her speech was impaired and her motor skills were weak making it necessary for her to use a walker and a wheelchair.

As Jacquie reviewed her life and the seemingly amazing medical procedures and the coincidence of how perfectly events were timed, she realized that it was not work that she could have ever done herself. Only God could have had this plan for her life and presented a path to ensure her success.

Through her book, Blessed Assurance: Success Despite the Odds. Jacquie educates others how to incorporate the tedious regimen of chronic illness into a busy life rather than limit life because of chronic illness. The book is about faith, the balance of work, health and family as well as transplant and organ donation. It is from this perspective that she contributes to Victorious Living for Women.

I was on a business/prayer conference call when I got a word. Stop doing it the world’s way and do what I told you. I was trying to write a traditional interior design book but kept hitting a wall. After I changed the theme to a Bible based one, the words just flowed. Years earlier I started an interior design company, LivingDesigns, and recently the Designing for Success Institute where I guide people through life, home, and family transformations. I enjoy writing, have authored two books, and frequently write on designing for empowerment topics. My affiliations include serving on the Board at Black Interior Designers Showcase and an American Society of Interior Designers member. I am blessed to frequently appear on recurring episodes of HGTV and Fine Living, and was recently featured in O at Home and Metropolitan's Who's Who. My passion includes helping people to design a rewarding life from the inside out. Contact me at dm@deanamurphy.com.
