Smart, Saved, Sexy: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

What exactly is being fearfully and wonderfully made? What was King David saying to the Lord at the time this prayer and praise was penned? 

Psalm 139:14New King James Version (NKJV)
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.

I believe the King knew, despite his many flaws God made him GREAT! Yet, it doesn't stop with how God made the King but how HE created all of us!


I suggest finding the biblical definitions of fearfully and wonderfully to come to full conclusion what King David was trying to convey but here, for this text, I'll share my thoughts (and what I agree with):

In the original Hebrew text of the Bible, the word fearfully means: with great reverence, heart-felt interest and with respect. The word wonderfully means: unique, set apart, marvelous (darlingmagazine.org)

So what is your Fearfully and Wonderfully made story? Are you Naked, Unafraid and ready to tell it?

Telling your story is helpful to another and can provide you with release! God bless you!

Smart, Saved, and Sexy 2: Loving YOU

When I first established the Smart, Saved and Sexy initiative, it was because of the need I had in my life. It was to establish a connection with other women who love themselves, who bury body shaming and excel. 

This year, I'm taking the initiative to another level. I'm reaching out to the women who are still struggling with their identity and wondering what they should about it and who will support them in it.

I'm here to tell the women I understand what the problem is and I know where their emotions lay in their lives, and HOW MESSED UP THAT REALLY IS.

I am here to tell the women they are not alone and we must do something. Actions speak louder than words.

With that:

LOVING YOU

It's time to be naked and unafraid. It is time to tell yourself no matter where you've been you can succeed. It isn't just about business, but your sister (blood or not) who watches your every move in secret, but covers you in prayer.

Loving you isn't just accepting your flaws and telling others you are accepting your flaws, but it's saying, DESPITE MY FLAWS, I can do this. 

For years, MY ENTIRE LIFE before 2015, I thought I was this fat woman. Now, that I am a fat woman and I look back over my photos, I was smaller, just as cute, but smaller. I wasn't really skinny but generally smaller than I am now. My concern, with all of the other women I'm connected with, is what exactly do we see in the mirror? Our own reflection or the reflection of the voices of the people?

This next year, with Smart Saved and Sexy Naked and Unafraid will help shut the mouths of the people and allow the man in the mirror to speak.

I can't do it alone.
I need you.
SSS: Naked and Unafraid:
1. Meetings
2. Speaking events
3. etc

If you are a woman and need help to be NAKED AND UNAFRAID, contact me.
Smart, Saved and Sexy is more than just conversation.

I want to support you, help you, move you, and bring you to the podium to help someone else.

Smart, Saved and Sexy Intiative

What exactly is an initiative? 

in·i·ti·a·tive

noun

1. 1.

   the ability to assess and initiate things independently
2. 2. the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do.

This is what we're doing at B.A.D Queens of the Round-Table; we are taking action and putting work in to change the mindsets of the women around the world. We are determined to build B.A.D. Queens by helping them see the inside of their lives compared to the outside the world seems to complain about.

The point in the initiative is to establish an ongoing community of encouraging women at a level that isn't as HIGH UP, yes HIGH UP, as the B.A.D. QUEENS of the Round-Table. The Queens at the table are already in the mindset of I have to keep going, I have to do what God says, there isn't anything I can't do and I'm doing it with the help of the other queens.

So how smart, sexy and saved are you to move into this part of the Royal Dining room? How smart, sexy and saved are you to know that no matter your body type, or size, you are the epitome of that next level woman?

There are two levels to the initiative that we want you to consider:

1. Donation of any amount to participate in teleconference calls starting July 12th, 2016 also includes the Triple S report. 


OR

2. Donation of any amount OVER $15 includes the Smart, Sexy, & Save T-shirt, teleconference, Triple S. Report and name included on the B.A.D Queens site as a supporter.

I'm Naked!

This morning I wokeup thinking about my new book Prophetic Patterns: Charles and Jasmine, and had to repent for the thoughts I had in my head. You see, I'm writing love scenes throughout the book between a married couple that the super saved folks seem to forget. It was so intense, I felt lustful at my thoughts; hence having to repent.

While getting ready, I thought about why I had those lustful thoughts and were they actually lustful? It dropped in my spirit that after all this time of being abstinent, I still didn't love my body. I did't love me.

In my shower I cried out to God to help me and after, I started to exercise. Naked. I started exercising naked. It isn't that I hate my weight, it was me recognizing if I can do jumping jacks with, wall push ups or squats, while naked, I could see every flaw and accept it. I looked in the mirror and laughed saying:

I'M NAKED!

About a year ago, I did a series on Beauty is Spirit Deep. The purpose was to allow women to realize their beauty starts from within. I understood what was so necessary in that message from my own issues, that sometimes I have to tackle today. You're probably saying how does that have to do with the thoughts I had when referring to my book? It means that after four years, a great divorce, success in building a business and ministry, I still have to remind my self about my beauty. My being smart, saved and sexy is a mindset not a body thing. It is an inner body experience. Accepting who you are naked is accepting who you are PERIOD! 

 Over the next few days, I will be releasing the SMART, SAVED, AND SEXY initiative that is being birthed through the B.AD. Queens of the Round-Table Networking Group. 

Here are a few things I want you to run with while we get ready for this new initiative: 

• You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Ps. 139:14)
• You are blessed by GOD to accomplish all tasks despite your flaws. 
• The imperfections on your body should not be in your mind or spirit. ( 1 Sam. 16:7) 
• Look at yourself naked: point out the flaws without flinching and love on those flaws. 

God bless you!
