*Who is my Elizabeth?*
When Mary, was given the biggest news of her life, she had no husband to confide in.  Her first instinct after her visit from the angel of the Lord was to immediately go out and seek Godly counsel from her cousin Elizabeth.  
Mary didn't waste any time, she went with haste.
As a Christian woman, who is your Elizabeth? Who do you rush to in a hurry? Who do you seek for your Godly counsel? If you don't have an Elizabeth of your very own, ask God to put one in your life. Below are a few characteristics to look for in your Elizabeth.
Your Elizabeth should:
•​Have a steadfast walk with the Lord.
•​Give Godly counsel in truth and love.
•​Encourage you in your walk in faith.
•​Encourage you in your marriage, studies, career and relationships.
•​Be someone whom you desire to learn from.
•​Pray for you and encourage you when you are down and out with life stress.
•​Rejoice in your successes.
•​See your God-given gifts and encourage you to use them.
Your Elizabeth should not:
•​Gossip with others about things you have shared.
•​Disrespect your partner or family.
•​Remind you of past failures, or make fun of your shortcomings.
•​Pull you away from others.
•​Discourage you from serving the Lord.
•​Be in competition with you, or insecure in your achievements.
•​Your Elizabeth should not take the Glory of God for herself by saying I prayed for her that's why she is driving this car or that's why she has gotten that job.
Take a moment  and ask yourself, "Who is my Elizabeth?" And am I an Elizabeth to someone?

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
