Women of Valor: The 6th Anniversary 🌹
Today we celebrate six years of walking together in faith! As we reflect on our journey, our hearts are anchored in the sacred promise of the Shulamite:

"I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me." (Song of Solomon 7:10)

As we step into 2026, our vision for this sisterhood is clear. In a world that constantly pulls at our attention, we are making a collective vow to keep our eyes fixed solely on Him. He is our center, our source, and our great reward.

🛡️ A Wall, Not a Door
The Word asks: "If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar." (Song of Solomon 8:9)

This year, we declare that the Women of Valor are Walls.

We are not "doors" that swing open to the distractions or fears of the world.

We are "walls"—steady, fortified in Christ, and built into a spiritual palace where His presence dwells.

In 2026, let us be women who are unshakeable in our devotion. Let our lives be a barricade against the "shadow of fear" and a gateway only to His glory. We belong to the King, and we will not be moved.

Happy 6th Anniversary, Sisters!

There’s something quietly powerful about the women of Zion.

Not because they were loud. Not because they had a platform.
But because God gave the word—and they carried it in faith.

Psalm 68:11 paints a striking picture: God Himself speaks, and a great host of women—warring women of Zion—rise to deliver His message. They weren’t just background singers in the story of God’s triumph. They were heralds, messengers anointed and appointed for a purpose. They were intercessors standing for their families, and their people! We are all called to pray! If we don’t pray for our children, schools, city, church family and nation, who will? We are called each of us to make disciples - this making of disciples is done by declaring the word of God and his fueled by our prayers which gives us strength and boldness from Holyspirit. Women of Abundant Grace let’s rise and deliver the message of God and be part of the warring women of Zion. We see that this brings victory and they gather the spoils!!! The spoils are the salvation of our children, homes and relationships restored, friends and family member delivered and set free!! Join us Wednesday night at 6 pm to Learn the Word and to Pray together!

Winning the War in Your mind!

Because, like you, every day I feel like I have more than I can handle, I rely on God to renew my mind. His truth is my battle plan. I continue to create new trenches of truth to replace my old ruts so they will give me thought pathways leading to life and peace.

Where do you need Jesus today, right now?

Where are your thoughts falling short of His life-giving truth? Are you stuck in a negative, hurtful, and poisonous rut? What will you do?

You will use the four tools God has given us to fix our thoughts and win the war in our minds: (1) the Replacement Principle, (2) the Rewire Principle, (3) the Reframe Principle, and (4) the Rejoice Principle.

1. You will remove the lie and replace it with truth. We know we have an enemy who is seeking to destroy us. His weapon is the lie. Our weakness is believing lies, and if we believe a lie, it will affect our lives as if it were true. The problem is that we don’t realize that the lies we believe are lies. Hopefully, the lies you need to defeat are now clear to you.

2. You will create new trenches of truth. Our brains have neural pathways—mental ruts we created through repeatedly thinking the same thoughts—which trigger our automatic response to external stimuli. To stop a behavior, we need to remove the lie behind it and replace the neural pathway. We dig truth trenches. How? You renew your mind with God’s truth.

3. You will reframe. We cannot control what happens to us, but we can control how we perceive it. We all have cognitive biases that cause us to see things in ways that do not reflect reality. But we have the power to do cognitive reframing, changing how we view the past and the future.

4. You will change your perspective through prayer and praise. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by everything that is happening, but when we’ve had enough, God is enough. Not only is God enough, God is near. We stay mindful of His presence. When we do, it leads us to pray. Praying changes our brain, as does praising God. We praise Him for the who of who He is, even if the what is not what we want. As we praise God, He shows up and gives us peace of mind.

Decide today that you will not think like the rest of the world. You will let God renew your mind.

Instead of becoming fixated on what you see, fix your thoughts on Jesus. He made you. He will sustain you. He can carry you, strengthen you, and empower you to do what He’s called you to do.

You are more than a conqueror through Christ. God is more than enough. And nothing can separate you from God’s love. Let God change your thinking. He will change your life.

Winning the War in your Mind

Let’s flash back to Paul. He’s in prison. Not for a crime but for speaking about Jesus. He may be executed. He writes to his friends in Philippi, “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4 NIV). Then he sounds like your mama because he repeats himself, just in case you aren’t listening. “I will say it again: Rejoice!”

It’s a great verse for a coffee mug with a pretty cursive font: “Rejoice in the Lord always!” It’s perfect for a refrigerator magnet. Put it on a greeting card? Of course! It makes you sound spiritual if you tell your friends, “Rejoice in the Lord always!”

Full disclosure: I hate it when people quote that verse to me.

If I’m in the middle of a difficult situation, or I have a flat tire and it’s 102 degrees out, or I just found out I need to have my tooth extracted, or my kid is sick. “Craig, you just need to rejoice in the Lord always!”

One reason I hate it is because I have to wonder about the person who says it. Do you rejoice in the Lord always? Really? You might wonder about Paul. He told people to rejoice in the Lord when he was in prison!

But did he rejoice in the Lord when he was in prison? He did.

Paul was with his buddy Silas.

Can you picture them? Thrown into prison, landing on the cold, hard ground with open wounds, maybe a broken nose, a couple of broken ribs. No doctor, nurse, Band-Aids, or ibuprofen.

Have you been there? Perhaps you hit the ground when you found out someone you love had cancer or that your kid was on drugs or that your spouse was cheating on you. In those tragic moments, what do you do?

What did Paul and Silas do? They praised God.

What was Paul doing in prison? Rejoicing always.

First, they were praising God for the who, not the what. They were bloody and bound up in prison. If you had asked them, “What are you praising God for?” I don’t think there was any “what” that they could point to. Nothing good was happening, but their God was still good. They weren’t praising God for the what. They were praising Him for the who. You can do that too.

Your circumstances may be bad, but your God is still good. He is near, His promises are still true, His love still unconditional, His grace still amazing, His timing still perfect. You may not like the what of what’s going on, but you can still praise God for the who of who He is.

Second, they were praising God before the provision. So often we hold off on praising God until He provides what we want. Think about that. Doesn’t it sound like an entitled little snot-nosed kid? I won’t be grateful until I get exactly what I want. We are better than that and, more important, God deserves better. Paul and Silas praised God before He answered their prayers or changed their circumstances. That’s the kind of person I want to be.

Third, they were praising God and then He showed up. Paul and Silas were worshiping God in the middle of the night and—boom!—God showed up.

Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! Acts 16:26 NLT
They did not praise God because He showed up; God showed up because they praised Him.

When we praise Him, He will show up. When He shows up, it will change our thinking. If we change our thoughts, we change our life.

Winning the war in your mind

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you frame it.

The GOAT (greatest of all time) of reframing was the apostle Paul. Paul had a strategic plan for advancing the gospel—go to Rome.

If he could get to Rome and preach Jesus to the leaders there, the city could become a launchpad to spread the gospel all over the world.

When Paul finally got to Rome, it was not to share Jesus with government officials. He went there as a prisoner. He was locked up under house arrest, chained to a rotating contingent of guards, awaiting a possible ex*****on. Paul prayed for an opportunity, but it was not happening.

Paul’s circumstances were out of his control. Circumstances are almost always out of our control.

You’ve been where Paul was.

You thought, If I just get this degree, I will get that job. You got the degree, but you did not get the job. You planned on being married by now, but you have not found Mr. or Mrs. Right. Or you did find and marry the right person, but everything went wrong. This is not the way life was supposed to go. You’ve been praying for years for your prodigal child, but God has not answered that prayer.

Paul was in that same situation—circumstances he did not want and could not control. He wrote to the church at Philippi about what was happening to him. What might he have said?

He could have written, “Now, I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me really sucks. I wanted to spread the good news through preaching to government officials, but that did not happen. As a result of this hell I’ve been through, I have decided prayer doesn’t work, and I am never going back to church again.”

But that is not what Paul wrote. Could have been, but no. Remember, Paul couldn’t control what happened to him, but he could control how he framed it. Here’s what he actually wrote to the Philippians:

I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News. For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ. And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear. Philippians 1:12–14 NLT
Paul was saying, “I had a plan, but God had a better plan! This is a whole different way to advance the gospel than what I was thinking. God has blessed me with prison guards who are chained to me. They have no choice but to listen to me tell them about Jesus! These soldiers have the ear of influential leaders! And, get this, every eight hours they chain a new guard to me! And they think I’m the prisoner. Ha! God is moving. I can’t wait to see what He does next!”

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you frame it. That’s why the third tool to change your thinking is the Reframe Principle: Reframe your mind, restore your perspective.
