My sweet brides, we are at a crossroads, TRUSTING our Beloved Husband, our Maker, to guide us as we watch Him continuing to prune His vine and branches. For us as a ministry, becoming closer to Him are the fruits of the seed that we are planting daily in your hearts and lives!
"I am the vine, and you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."
“Hear then the parable of the sower...the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the Word, and the worry of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. But the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the Word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.”
What our Darling has recently pointed out is that we need all of you to show us the fruit that you are producing through our resources 🌱 and remind us that we are not here to entertain but to encourage and teach, as it says on RMIEW.
Our Mission: "Older women, encourage and teach the younger women to love others with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God."
We want to know how every praise, podcast, or lesson is impacting or has impacted your life! This is why your comments are vital to us! 💓
So the changes He's led us to make are:
1) FIRST, combine all our English Blogs, HOPE, LOVE, and HGM, to post here on Encouraging Women. Each blog
2) HOPE, LOVE, HGM will post a single spiritual meal from each ministry in the form of a lesson from our spiritual storehouse.
3) Along with the spiritual meal, the ministers will also share portions of their journals and one or two portions from YOUR journals. We hope this will promote conversation so we all can praise Him together!
4) Finally, for our ministries to remain alive and hopefully thrive, we must each do what He is calling us to do. We don't want our Beloved to get our attention in a more serious way. We certainly remember how He first nudged us, gently guiding us toward what He wanted for us, but for most of us, He needed to allow our world to fall out from under our feet— so only HE was there to catch us.
5) JOIN US. Take the first step towards Him and share your heart in a comment. Let Him know, let others know what He's personally spoken to you. Let's see what is in our future, the future of RMI and specifically Hope at Last, the first step to our restoration journey and knowing our Beloved as our Heavenly Husband! 🤩 🤗
Thank you dear Erin, I just love love the way my Darling speaks to me, yesterday my Darling spoke to me through the verse: “I am the vine, and you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing” and it is on the Afrikaans today, it is so Him and the message He gave me is that it is very very important to bide in Him, apart from Him we can really do nothing. And I want to add here every praise, podcast or lesson is spiritually feeding me daily and has changed my life so much, so thank you. I have learned more from RMI in these few months, than I have learned over years and years.
I agree dear Janine. It would have taken me years to learn the principles that I was to get here from RMI due to Erin already building the bridge for us. I trust that He will help us “pay it forward” I believe the English expression is. 💗
Dear Erin, I loved where you said that we are not here to entertain. We are here to encourage. ❤️ I think sometimes I forget that, wanting more ladies to come, I am always thinking about what can we do, but the thing is, it is not to entertain like the world would because we are not of this world. We need to encourage the ladies to come here. I am very excited for this new chapter of RMI seeing how He will help us every day to post what will encourage the ladies and not just tell them what they WANT to hear, but what they NEED to hear and that is the truth and that is having it all based on His word just like you did in the post.
I don’t know where I would be without RMI and all the resources that are provided. This is where I found a relationship with my HH for the first time. I never knew that He could be my best friend and love of my life. It allowed me to read His Word and enjoy it, but especially love speaking to Him everyday. This is where I learned that a relationship with Him is the first most important thing. Then I learned how to be a wise wife and now I’m continuing to learn from HGM on how to be a worker at home.
Every single lesson has helped impact my life for the good and I want to pass it down to my three daughters as they continue to grow. I know how vital all of these principles are to each one of our lives. I haven’t done the best in sharing as much in lessons because the lessons tend to take a good amount of time. I have my hands full in this season with my small children. However, I know that if I simply continue to ask my Husband to make a way, He will do it. Thank you for paving the way for us Erin and providing so many free resources to hurting women.
I like that we are combining blogs for now. Usually I’d like to separate and organize things in categories but some of my praises were a combination of things and I got confused and overwhelmed on which blog to post on so I would delay on posting a PR. I’m glad we will all be here together on one blog to read and post all. 🩷
Ruby you’re exactly who our Darling wanted us to support and how often we felt the same way. “His yoke is easy and burdens are light” and He’s “not a God of confusion.”
We hope that with these changes we will see more who take advantage of the delicious spiritual meals available in our resources dining with your Beloved Husband your Maker. Life changing indeed 💗💗💗
Thank you Ruby, I love what you expressed here❣️ It is a confirmation not only for this special blog, but as I can say that for the Portuguese as well, thank you so much!❤️
Praise the Lord for these changes!! Now we all get to be fed in one place! I love the way now we all will be able to comment and share praises to encourage each others! And as Ruby says, here the combination of all RMI materials will be available! I really love to read what you all have to share, I hope we can encourage each other more, ask more questions, and produce more fruits 🌱
I just have to add this, being fed at one place especially from a phone, is so much easier and so many women use their phones. I loved going to all the blogs and reading but I did it from my computer and I see doing it on the phone it is easier going to Encouraging Women, at one place.
Exactly so Janine! For 86 days I had only my phone to do everything and even with a laptop 💻 my Husband and I use only my phone 📱 for the first 2-3 hours in order to experience what the greatest majority of women are themselves having to navigate.
Now like never before I am witnessing ministers who have their phone 📱 ready for testing to make absolutely sure it’s suited for these very special brides who we are here for. 🤗🤗🤗
I share your joy by uniting all the blogs in one, that way I can make sure I haven’t missed a rich spiritual meal I haven’t seen any day. I can understand Erin that it is a challenge we are all facing while He is pruning the branches, but I am glad, He continues to support us and show us the step by step to continue. I would like to finish by adding since Yvonne sometimes asked what I could do to attract ladies, but you said it well, it is not about entertaining (which is a word that my Husband has used a lot with me lately to talk to me about social networks) but rather encourage and teach all things that He shows us on our own journey, many ladies can go through similar situations and that word of encouragement can be the key to building a step on the bridge leads them to HIM.
EXACTLY Anastasia. If we partake in a full spiritual meal and then while it’s FRESH we post and share every delightful moment of what we experience as a post and it is just once a week we spiritually dine at that course—more and more can enrich our experience by sharing their own delightful moments.
“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart ❤️ ”
Snacks and socializing fail to accomplish anything close.
I love the changes and having only one blog where the brides can be encouraged and bridged to the resources that will feed them spiritually and be encouraged through praises and journals.
I love the changes too because going in different places sometimes it´s difficult to get to all, but haing all in one same place makes it much easier and I feel we´ll learn more beacuse of the access to all and in an organized way.
Fruit from. this ministry is that relationships with each of my family members is more at peace.
🤩Wow Anna, this is so special! Thank you for sharing this – He is ou Prince of peace – https://encouragingwomen.org/pop/
Thanks my dear Anna!
Yvonne led the way with the PERFECT 🤩 example of the way I see what He wants each of our ministers to do moving forward. She was Richly fed by FDA and then she fed each of us. When I began feeling anxious that it was too long —He reminded me there weren’t dozens more that I had to rush to read. I could simply relax and enjoy.

I think combining them is a fantastic way. I would often see a comment or post and not remember which site I seen it on and have to go searching them all.
I loved being a prayer warrior so if anything changes or something similar comes up. I would love to help and pray that way.
Yvonne, what HLM to do with the MEQ posted privately on IOU for Marriage Minister students, could we do that for prayer request? We would simply need to determine which website and then let women who are anointed, and have a desire to pray, would sign up for that newsletter. 🙏🏻
Those changes not only will improve our online experience and bounding with the resources but so far it will allow us to enlarge the site for our tents.🙌
There is no way to weigh the impact of RMI resources in my life. I really see miracles in different areas but especially in my heart. Since I started chasing God as it is taught here I had been experiencing something incomparable. I’m never more the sad, discontented and negative person I used to be thanks on every answer I got from Him through your resources.
By the way, I confess I can’t cope with some things here and sometimes I feel guilty… Honestly I want to give more fruit here, but I had found extremely challenging to stick to the online journal’s performance due to my weaknesses.
I had discussed hundreds of times the benefits of journaling with my sweet sister and I know she got that profound relationship with Him and tremendous advances thanks to that but I don’t know why it doesn’t work for me.
Let me go deeper. I had my hand written journal and its marvelous. I sat early in the morning with Him, my coffee and my diary to write ( I have composition 3 notebooks) but it is hard to type…
I don’t know if the next thing is for someone else, but I’m a visual person, then for reading I prefer physical books to highlight, scratch, color… I dream about having all books of RMI 🤭 but while writing this here, I need to say I don’t have them because I don’t ask for them to Him… Another weakness…
Dear Ladies I hope this doesn’t sound like a complain. I’m opening my heart about my process here.
Thanks for sharing Mia, this something we should SG (search God) about, for sure! 🙏 Please keep on sharing and opning your heart with us ❤️
Agreed, Paula, and ever since I read this from Mia, I have asked my Husband several times, “What do you want Mia and other women like her to do?”
One thing that comes to mind that’s easy and light is AFTER you journal to record and offer a podcast.
Whether you read from your journal or just record what’s on your heart while it’s still fresh, I believe will benefit encouraging others, not just ministering to ourselves.
I just use my phone to record all my podcasts, and I believe we have IOU instructions to show how easy it is to upload it to YouTube and then we could create another form if there are more who would rather journal like this.
ladies, for me personaly was super difficult to read all the blogs and I just choosed one or two per day…..and like Ruby said…I was also confused were to post my praise…so PTL for this change and I want to thank for all hard work with the blogs and podcast to..Isabella, Adina, Atarah and Yvonne..you all did a great and hard job 👏🌟👏 I hope that specialy all the podcasts will be still using and helping to many ladies ❤️❤️❤️ a lot of power💪 and good ideas ladies!!! 😘💃
Bonjour Erin, pourrais-je vous contacter par mail?
Hello Erin, how speak to you by mail?
I am in agreement as well. Combining all of the blogs makes it easier to know where to go for encouragement and praises. I’m very thankful for all of the precious Brides who are seeking our Husband, and following His lead as He transforms the ministry, meeting needs from one season to the next. He will never allow us to just be content doing things the same way we always have. He transforms everything about us, including our ministries.
