Ladies, each one of us is giving our praises on what we experienced on our Wise Woman retreat. Today I asked Him to show me what I can praise Him for and this is what He brought to mind. One thing that really stood out for me is how everyone that's faces really shone with His love and peace are the ones where this principle was the one they lived out:

They each gave testimonies on how they would contact Atarah or Keziah and the answer they got was: What does He say? Have you asked Him?
Of course at the moment, they felt frustrated because they wanted advice and wanted their problems fixed, but in the end, you could see their faces shone and they were so peaceful and happy.
It just reminded me time and time again, that only He has what we need. Only He can give us the answers we are looking for.
Words cannot describe what this weekend meant for me, just seeing each of the ladies that attended was such a blessing because in each of them is the promise that He wants to fulfill for our country and the world. That He be all we need. And that is what it is all about in the end.
That He is everything. Ladies, my question to you as read this today is: Are you still getting up in the morning without saying good morning to Him? Are you still getting dressed without asking Him what you will wear today? Are you still concentrating on your problems more than you are concentrating on Him?
Some days, I can answer yes to all of those questions, so I know I still have room to grow and get close to Him, but that is part of the fun isn't it? Getting close to Him and seeing how He just fills every little detail of your life, while you walk around with stars in your eyes, because you have the best Husband EVER!!!
Yes the principle of not asking anyone but Him, was shared a couple of times, “Seek God”. And yes their faces shone!
Oh dear Yvonne, your sharing touched me very much, because this morning as I walked with Him, I asked Him exactly that I should not come, in any part of my life, to answer that I did not seek Him in the first place, and that in everything I do, He continues being my GPS 🥰💕
Thanks Yvonne for sharing… I must admit it was difficult to tell the Ladies how I felt everytime I wanted a quick answer in the beginning of my journey…. Many of Ladies indeed asked me so what kept at RMI… I told them whenever ww met on Zoom it was all that radiant and glowing faces of happiness from within that kept me and look at me now… I can only but praise HH… One of the Ladies shared that…. See your smile Yvonne on Friday when she arrived told her she is at the right place…. We praise you HH
Thanks

For sure Keziah, I remember when I first came to RMI and I would read the Praise Reports from the ladies, I really thought it was fake 🙂
How can anyone be so happy in their circumstances and I remember I was driving in my car, stuck in traffic in our mid-city and I was crying because something must have happened that morning and I asked aloud: “Lord, when will I get past this and feel that way that I read on the praise reports?” and here I am looking back and seeing myself, but recognizing that woman anymore.
Oh isn’t that amazing 🤩??? Even my sister— my own sister was telling me and my son about her being “tested” for the past few days but it was DIFFERENT. She wasn’t alone, she got teary 🥹 because of who was with her, helping, guiding and saying it with the most serene smile on her face and peaceful tone in her voice. INCREDIBLE!!! It’s REAL and more women deserve to know.
How can we reach them? How can we “allure and speak kindly to them“ and get them here where it’s safe? 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻
Mmmhm well what thought provoking questions you asked Yvonne 🤔 l need to go share this on Hope At Last and l need to do a self check 🙏 Your Husband truly led you writing this praise. The radiance, peace and smiles l saw on so many of the brides faces on Sunday when we wrapped up was so beautiful 💗
Beautiful praise Yvonne! These are all great questions that we need to ask ourselves so that we know if we are staying close to Him. He knows every answer and every detail of our lives and He cares for each one of us so deeply. We don’t need to ask anyone else. We do have the best Husband ever 💕 !
What a beautiful testimony Yvonne.
Some days I can also answer yes and some days my what if’s come back, so I have so much room to still grow but this morning I will say with confidence with my hand in my loving Heavenly Husband’s hand: I am not where I use to be.
Very touching testimony Yvonne. You made me go back to many different stages of my journey when I felt lost, frustrated, thinking nothing was real but He was the one who kept me going one step at the time until He made me understand we could be closer. There are so many areas where He is still working but as you said, the room to grow is there and He is the one showing us He is our source for everything in our life, nobody else.
OMG! I am surprised! This morning my conversation with my HH was about this topic Yvonne, I said to Him “I would like to ask you each detail of my life but sometimes I forget it, then I felt condemnation each moment”, then He led me to read the living Lessons 3 and 4 to give me light and peace.

Honestly, I felt that I was the only one battling with this principle, thank you for sharing!
