⁣ “My faith is bigger than my fear.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣
“My faith is bigger than my fear.”⁣
⁣
Can I qualify this with “USUALLY”? 🤣⁣
⁣
There are times when I’m a doubter and a coward. I allow my fear to overwhelm me and I don’t trust that GOD cares for me more than any bird of the air or flower in the field, that He has the BEST plans in store for me, my family, or ministry.⁣
⁣
Take the past few weeks. My IG account disappeared and I wondered what to do. Y O U, my sisters and brothers, surrounded me, lifted me off the  battlefield  and reminded me who I am.⁣
⁣
 ⚔️ I AM A WARRIOR.⚔️ ⁣
⁣
My faith in my God, all the 📖 biblical training, and in people kicked back into high gear.  We are stronger and will grow faster, smarter, and wiser than before fear crept in when we #standtogether . ⚔️ ⁣

Found my newest favorite boutique EVAH: @altardstate ⁣
⁣
You would not believe the high level service of the stylists—it’s like old school fancy days! The staff (Flora, Joseline, & Henri) made excellent pairing suggestions, got different sizes, looked online, and they offered a  P R A Y E R. B O O K  in their gorgeous dressing room for me to write ✍️ any prayer requests. They also give back to missions.⁣
⁣
WHAAAATTT? Who does that?⁣
⁣
Their message:  #standoutforgood. ⁣
⁣
H A V E. Y O U. E V E R.  B E E N ?⁣

⁣ My sweet friend, Christian sister, and prayer ⁣
My sweet friend, Christian sister, and prayer warrior, the wise⁣
@WilmaHollisLifeSpeak ⁣
just checked on me to see how I was holding up under the circumstances. ⁣
⁣
She told me she knew I was tough.  She kindly reminded me this is an opportunity to watch God’s power at work.⁣
⁣
She is so right. ⁣
God is IN this; ⁣
I am merely the servant. ⁣
⁣
How do we respond to:⁣
Bad news?⁣
A hard diagnosis?⁣
Death of a loved one?⁣
Injustice?⁣
Slander or malicious gossip?
⁣
Sometimes it’s tough to serve when you’re hurting, right, to #riseabove  and climb out, to trust God with everything. ⁣
⁣
My honest reply to Wilma:⁣
⁣
“I’m not sure what’s harder: getting knocked down or getting back up again.”⁣
⁣
You know what? They’re both hard. We gotta know that God is IN it and we can watch His power made perfect in our weakness.
⁣
My Savior wouldn’t stay in the grave, so I can’t either.  I’m choosing to #rise again. ⁣
⁣
What will Y O U chose?⁣

Last week, it appears my IG account was h*cked and Last week, it appears my IG account was h*cked and every post—my identity as The Chirch Girl Writes, email 📧 , and information—systematically deleted from the platform. 🪓 Close to 3000 connections w international followers, around 1000 posts, countless stories, teaching videos, memories, and three years of hard work vanished. Most of my prayer team was here, too.  My password wasn’t strong enough to stand up against brute force. I had 2-factor authentication, too.  ->>>>>Protect yourself and CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS to something impossibly irritating and difficult.<<<-  By far, IG was my #1 platform as a microinfluencer. Years of encouraging others to build their following and praying for one another was paying off and the goal of getting books 📖 published was in reach.  This was dishearteningly malicious, perhaps the beginning of p*rsecution—I’m not shy about my faith or encouraging others.  Rebuilding seems impossibly hard. I almost walked away from everything, including writing or speaking or any social media.  But I refuse to be silenced.  (Writing this post, something glitched after I wrote the previous sentence and I lost half of it!)  I will have courage to the do the impossible—to rebuild again and climb up 🧗 from the bottom.  Could you help?

Did you know that the first drip coffee was invented by a woman, Melitta Bentz in 1908, bc she didn’t like the bitter taste from boiling her coffee in water?⁣
⁣
Tradition has it that coffee was first “discovered” in Ethiopia by a man who observed his donkey eating the berries and having more energy. “Kaldi” was either the name of the donkey or the man. our friends in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 weren’t certain when they shared this story.⁣
