“The true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.”
~Audrey Hepburn
Hello Sassy Squad! I came across this quote today and just had to share it with you. How many of you have heard the saying “beauty is only skin deep”? I must admit that I never truly understood the deeper meaning of this saying until I was in my thirties. Looking back, I remember comparing myself to others and feeling like I was weird and unattractive because I didn’t fit into the world’s standards of beauty. I was tall and skinny, with almond-shaped eyes and a crooked smile.
Now I understand that being unique was only a part of my beauty. The true essence of beauty is in how you interact with others and present yourself to the world. It’s about being unapologetically authentic, even when societal norms are pressuring you. I’ve realized that how we take care of ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally is reflected in the way we show up in the world.
You should be loved in the same way you love others, as happiness comes from within and shines outward. Embracing your genuine beauty and revealing your true self can have a great impact in the world around you. Are you ready to embrace your true beauty and make a difference with me today?
“For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”
2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Hello family! This scripture has been placed on my heart to share with someone who may be letting fear hold them back from achieving the dreams that God has placed in their heart or living a life of peace and freedom that He intended for them to live. He desires us to live fearlessly , be our best selves, and embrace abundance and beauty of life.
Even in our weakest moments, God’s love and the Holy Spirit empower us to wholeheartedly follow His ways and teachings. Trusting in Him enables us to live without fear, as He has given us the power, love, and a sound mind to overcome it. By choosing faith over fear, we can boldly live as our authentic selves. Who’s ready to embrace faith over fear with me today?
“The future belongs to those who belong in the beauty of their dreams.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Hi, Sassy fam! I found this quote today and just had to share it with you. It serves as a reminder to refocus on the dreams and promises God has placed in my heart. I hope that it motivates you to do the same.
Be intentional about the steps you take toward making your dreams a reality. Your happiness and future depend on it. Every step you take toward your dream brings you closer to becoming the person you were meant to be and living the life you were meant to live.
His strength will empower and sustain you as you transform into the best version of yourself and get acclimated to a new way of life. Whenever you feel overwhelmed and unworthy of the greatness that lies ahead.
Remember that you are worthy and deserving of all the blessings coming your way. You were born to live a beautiful life. I am rooting for you to keep going. We are in this together! Our destiny awaits!
Hello family! Lately, God has put me in a season where I must trust him with all my heart and depend solely on him to get me through any obstacle that I am facing. I’ve been more intentional about releasing worry and anxiety by praying to God about situations that cause me stress and that are beyond my control. I am learning to seek to hear only God’s voice when I am unsure of which direction or path to take next because it affirms and gives me clarity. This brings me to the message that I would like to share with you today on how to hear God’s voice.
The first thing that you must do to hear His voice is to quiet your mind and eliminate distractions by meditating on His Word. Reading devotionals and finding relevant scriptures that minister to your situation or problem can help you apply the Word to your life.
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.”
Joshua 1:8 NKJV
Second, you must stay in his presence through prayer and worship. Prayer is a way to communicate with God, while worship is a way to show reverence and gratitude for His blessings. Whenever I make it a priority to pray and worship Him, my burden is lifted and my faith is elevated to a new level.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 NKJV
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:24 NKJV
Thirdly, open your heart and ask God to purify it of anything that may hinder your mind from receiving His messages. When I ask the Lord to renew my heart, I can release unforgiveness and redirect my focus on Him.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalms 51:10 NKJV
Make sure you are open to receiving his messages and write down what he reveals to you. By keeping an open mind and being prepared to receive his messages, you can unlock valuable insights that may otherwise go unnoticed. Don’t forget to jot down what he reveals to you – that way, you’ll be able to refer to these revelations later and fully integrate them into your life.
Lastly, to recognize God’s voice and distinguish it from your thoughts, remember that His voice brings peace, and healing, shapes your future, and gives you hope and promise.
“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”
I Corinthians 14:33 NKJV
“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
“The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom”.
Deuteronomy 28:12-13 NIV
Hello, everyone! This scripture was laid on my heart to share with someone who may be going through a difficult time and needs encouragement. The start of spring has brought me a lot of challenges. I have struggled to adapt to changes and navigate through uncertainties on my journey. During those times when I feel overwhelmed and like I’m losing my faith, God continues to remind me that He is my peace and source of strength. He has revealed to me that the rain I’ve experienced in my life through disappointments and painful experiences was necessary for my spiritual and mental growth.
Just as rain is a necessity for plants to bloom, it’s vital for us to endure such difficult times to develop into the person God intended us to become. As I progress through this season, I will clear my mind and consider this time as a new beginning and rebirth. I am motivated and enthusiastic about the direction that God is leading me towards and the type of woman I am evolving into. Please remember that even when everything seems to be going wrong, we must trust in Him to guide us towards the promise.
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8 NIV
Hello everyone! I wanted to share this scripture with you all today because it encourages me when I feel overwhelmed with negative thoughts, emotions, and the noise of world. I’ve found that when I take quiet moments to give thanks and reflect on all the good that God has done in my life, His peace comes over me. During these times, my faith increases, which helps me endure any storm that comes my way.
Remember that He is bigger than any problem you may be facing right now. Keep looking up and don’t focus on the obstacle in front of you. Let’s aim to live a life that pleases Him and spread His goodness to others. This is the key to maintaining peace of mind and experiencing unspeakable joy even when all hope seems lost.
Hi Sassy fam! This quote affirmed me and wanted to share it with you! All my life I have struggled with acceptance and embracing the real me. In this season of growth and renewal, I have discovered my identity and purpose. I
am finally able to be unapologetically me without caring about who is unable to accept this version of myself. Always remember that you God intentionally made you the way you are for his plan and purpose.
The world needs you just the way you are to shine your light in the midst of the darkness. Your light was meant to shine to show people the way to hope and love!
I have some words of encouragement from my heart to share with you. At times you will miss your dad, but you must always remember that he is watching over you from heaven. His contagious smile, fearless spirit, and kind heart lives through you. You were his precious gift. You must remember your value.
In those times when you feel like you don’t fit in, worthy, or loved remember that God loves you. You were fearfully and wonderfully made for his purpose. You are enough and perfect just the way you are.
There will be challenges and disappointments that come to distract you and discourage you from speaking your truth, walking in your purpose.
You must learn to put your faith and trust in God. He will recenter your focus and give you strength to keep going forward on your purpose journey.
Be sure to forgive those who may hurt you along your journey. This is necessary for your heart to heal and to unblock the blessings that are yet to come!
Things may not make since to you now, but as you grow older, God will reveal to you why everything happened in your life, good and bad. Your life is like a puzzle and each piece fits together to create the bigger picture.
People, places, and things that are meant to go with you on your path will align in his timing to help you grow gracefully into the woman you are destined to become.
Hi Sassy squad! Spring is in the air! It is truly one of my favorite seasons. I feel rejuvenated and refreshed. The sunshine smiles on my skin. Nature comes back to life after the cold storms of winter.
The trees start to flourish and the flowers bloom. Animals come out of hibernation and become active again. In the same way that rebirth occurs in nature it can happen in your life also.
Rebirth can only begin once you release anything that hinders you from becoming your best self or living your dream life. Who will join me in living their best life in this season and many to come. Tis the season of rebirth!
Hello, Sassy fam! The holiday season is upon us, also known as the most wonderful time of the year! I remember thinking as a child that Christmas was all about giving and receiving gifts. I learned later as I grew older that this season is about so much more. The birth of Jesus was just the beginning of miracles in this season. Jesus is our gift of everlasting love and salvation. We were created in His image to reflect his love and share it with others.
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:10 KJV
Spreading the good news of who He is and displaying acts of love to others is our way of giving thanks to God for this gift of his son, Jesus. The more we become like Jesus through our thoughts and lifestyle, the more we put our faith into action. We become a living reflection of who He is and a light to the world. Please remember that this season is bigger than personal gain. It is about sharing with others that they too can have hope in times of despair and discouragement if they believe and put their trust in Him. May this season fill you with an abundance of hope, joy, peace, love, and magical memories with your loved ones.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Sassy. Spirit. Savvy
