I am a Woman of Vision, Destiny, and Purpose and seek to associate myself with like-minded people.
A WOMAN
1st and foremost she has strong faith in GOD.......
A woman is at peace with herself,
A woman can take care of herself and is not looking for a man to take care
of her,
A woman can challenge a MAN and teach him new things, while willing to
accept his views and opinions ...
A woman takes time to make sure those she loves are well taken of and have
their needs met,
A woman will be treated with the respect she deserves
A true WOMAN will not be known unto a boy.... but only a MAN......
LETTER FROM GOD TO WOMEN
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to
come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped you....I molded you.
I created you perfectly and beautifully. Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet elicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart. Your eyes......don't change them. Your lips -- how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose, so perfect in form. Your hands so gentle to touch I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.
I've held your heart close to mine.
Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support.
You are special because you are an extension of me. Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.
THE ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR
The Five Points of this Star to each Sister doth reveal FIDELITY, PATIENCE, PURITY, FAITH, and ZEAL. Each Sister of the order shall reflect the rays of Light, that Joy and Truth shall beam sincere from the darkness of the night. And Eastern Star is a woman and sister whose trust is in God. She meets all in the strictest sense of fidelity. She is faithful to all her obligations. Truth is her compass, she refrainsfrom speaking evil of her sisters. She has a true grip on all that is Rite. She is loyal to her chapter, whatever her degree, she is matron of herself. In the chapter life she wears unstained the white silken robes of purity and innocence. From her covenant of adoption she travels ever eastward, towards the light of wisdom, until she receives that final cabalistic word, that divine password, that admits her into the ineffable presence, to the eternal Supreme Grand Patron of the Universe.
TRUST in the LORD with all thine HEART; and lean not unto thine OWN understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall DIRECT thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Much love to my PHA Family Travel Light.....

In Your Garden
Plant three rows of peas: Peace of mind Peace of heart Peace of soul. Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip Squash indifference Squash grumbling Squash selfishness. Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful Lettuce be kind Lettuce be obedient Lettuce really love one another. No garden without turnips: Turnip for meetings Turnip for service Turnip to help one another water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden, because you reap what you sow. To conclude our garden, We must have thyme: Thyme for God Thyme for study Thyme for prayer. (author unknown)
And all things,whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:24
