“Women of Achievement” is a healing platform where our cries can be heard amongst each other. It’s a way that we can communicate with each other and hear our silent cries. Standing strong amongst each other, being each other’s backbone, sounding board, prayer warrior, shoulder to lean on, a still voice ready to listen and with the help and direction of our Father…provide the steps towards achievement.

We all have our personal battles and most of the time, we don’t even know what it’s all about. It is something deep down inside that we can’t quite put our finger on. All we know is that it hurts and hurts more rather than less. It’s like a feeling of emptiness or is it confusion? Are you feeling like you aren’t worth anything? Do you compare yourself to those around you? Do people make you feel like they are better than you? Do you look down on yourself?

We so often look down on each other. That woman who changes the beds at the hospital or cleans the floors, the stay at home Mom, the grandmother caring for children, the woman with 10 babies, even the woman on the street corner, lost, who looks down on herself. The world is hard enough where our cries are different but yet the same.

The world is a mirage showing us beauty from the outside for God is inside. He is inside all of his children waiting with open arms. Do not be afraid? He loves you where you are. There is no one else that would love you through your heart, hurt and pain. There really is no one who wants to do this. He is our father, the living father of all his children.

Judgment…the world judges and unfortunately it is what it is. We look through our own eyes and God wants to show us how to look through our spiritual eyes to see. This may be hard for many but it just takes the faith of a mustard seed. There are so many of us who want to do things our way and this is where the struggle begins.

God made us where we can achieve at whatever we put our mind to. The dictionary states that achievement is something that has been done or achieved through effort; it is a result of hard work. We must first “Let Go, Let God.” What does this mean?

The Bible references so many verses pertaining to achievement. 2 Timothy 3:17 states “That the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” Philippians 4:13 states, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

And Jesus looking upon them saith, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” – Mark 10:27

God’s word tells us that he has our back. Let’s talk about how we can let go of some of the things in life that causes us to stress. Let’s talk about our fears, worries and anxieties. Let’s hear some of the trials that many of us face day to day. Let’s see how we can help each other.
