Who is my Elizabeth?

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?

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS.

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...
