Joy in the Journey

It's no accident or coincidence what God set into motion over a year ago. When He placed the idea of Joy in the Journey deep into the hearts of our Righteously Redeemed team, we had no idea how important it would be. We knew this was to be our theme for the 2020 Righteously Southern ladies conference, yet we didnt know what 2020 would hold The idea of a book entitled Joy in the Journey was born, again we had no idea how relevant or needed this book would be, we just followed Gods leading. This book is compiled of testimonies from the Righteously Redeemed team. Amazing how God was preparing the theme, the book, and our own personal walks to be challenged by the present predicament of this global pandemic.  

 Do you think God randomly chose this theme and laid it on our hearts or do you believe that in His wise, all- knowing manner He prepared this exact theme for SUCH A TIME AS THIS! 

 God is good and His mercies endure forever. He knew our JOY would be tested, tried, and challenged during this unexpected unique time in our history. If ever there was a time to choose Joy in a Journey, its today. 

 Today, no matter where you are in this situation, will you decide to walk in JOY? Don't allow the fear of the unknown to rob your Joy. 

 God is walking right beside you in this journey.  Will you trust He is there and nothing about your relationship with Him has changed. 

 Choose to stay focused on Him and not the situation. 
Choose to find Joy in the Journey. 
Choose Joy one day at a time. 

 Blessings and Joy

Follower of Christ Friday  November 11, 2020 Ever been looking for a specific themed video on YouTube, instead find something totally unrelated but something you still needed to see? That was me a few years ago when I stumbled upon Author and Speaker, Christine Caine telling some of her testimony.  (warning this may be a lot of parphrase)  She was talking about when she was in seminary how one of her preaching professors pretty much told her that she did terrible, and that she should never teach / preach to an audience again!!  I expected to next hear how it made her mad, and how she vowed to him that she would "show him."   I mean she is Christine Caine, this great motivating woman who currently speaks internationally to thousands of people.  She overcame it somehow.  However, what I wasn't expecting was to to hear what really happened.  She said it absolutely DEFEATED her.  She felt shame!  She questioned her worth! She didn't want to and in fact didn't speak fo

Carrie's Story

Hello! My name is Carrie Hunt! I am 26 years old and live in New Albany where I was born and raised. I’m an assistant teacher at West Union Attendance Center and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree to become a certified teacher at Blue Mountain College. It’s true when God gives you a calling, you have to follow it! I really don’t discuss personal things on social media. If you ask me a question in person though, I’m very open and honest. In February this year, I was diagnosed with PCOS(Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS causes many issues for women, reproductive problems, endocrine problems, anxiety and depression.  I don’t let it define me, even on the days where I wish I didn’t have it and just want it gone. Although there is no cure, I choose to fight it, not let it fight me. One in ten million women in the U.S. have it! We are all fighters. I guess I feel the need to discuss it now because I understand it and what it entails. Like I said, I’m an open book. I’m open to discu

The Fruitful Woman Happy Tuesday and welcome to another look at The Fruitful Woman. This week will finish out the series. I have enjoyed looking at the Fruit of the Spirit from  Galatians  5 and I pray you have to.  Today brings in our last fruit. The last piece of the puzzle. The last quality of a woman who is in living in a love relationship with God. The final reward. Temperance. Temperance- moderation in action, thought, or feeling: restraint, self-control Self-control - the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations. It’s no accident that Paul listed temperance as the very last Fruit of the Spirit. God led Him to place this challenging character trait at the very end. My guess; is because self-control is impossible without all the other qualities being instilled first. Without my daily walk with God, without my quiet time with Him, without by obedience t
