Thank you Traci for an awesome call on blogging and then some.
Traci shared that it's iimportant to operate with integrity whether
on your business or personal blog. It is not necessary to outright
witness when blogging, however, your Faith is part of you and you
should consider this at all times.
Don't post anything you wouldn't want visible to all. You're online
and all information is accessible.
Traci shared a story about being crippling shy for the first time
with The Dynamic Women of Faith Telesummit.
The calls are still available with an upgrade.
Thanks Traci.

Probiotics essential to a healthy digestive tract
This is rather lengthy, however, it is valuable information for your life empowerment.
I've heard about the use of probiotics and their effectiveness. I have been using the supplements, however, was encouraged to use them daily when Lisa Buldo included this in her content filled interview for The http://www.dynamicwomenoffaith.com Telesummit
I did further research and found this article by WebMD
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines. The normal human digestive tract contains about 400 types of probiotic bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. The largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria, of which Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in yogurt, is the best known. Yeast is also a probiotic substance. Probiotics are also available as dietary supplements.
It has been suggested that probiotics be used to treat problems in the stomach and intestines. But only certain types of bacteria or yeast (called strains) have been shown to work in the digestive tract. It still needs to be proven which probiotics (alone or in combination) work to treat diseases. At this point, even the strains of probiotics that have been proven to work for a specific disease are not widely available.
What are probiotics used for?
In most circumstances, people use probiotics to prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illness. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to diarrhea. Taking probiotic supplements (as capsules, powder, or liquid extract) may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria and thus help prevent diarrhea.
A decrease in beneficial bacteria may also lead to development of other infections, such as vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, and symptoms such as diarrhea from intestinal illnesses.
Research has shown that certain probiotics may restore normal bowel function and may help reduce:1
* Diarrhea that is a side effect of antibiotics.
* Certain types of infectious diarrhea.
* Inflammation of the ileal pouch (pouchitis) that may occur in people who have had surgery to remove the colon.
These results suggest that eventually probiotics may also be used to:
* Help with other causes of diarrhea.
* Help prevent infections in the digestive tract.
* Help control immune response (inflammation), as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Researchers are studying the use of probiotics for inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The results of some early studies suggest that probiotics found in yogurt may help prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics.1 But more studies are needed to confirm that yogurt is effective. To offer benefit, the yogurt must contain active cultures. Most yogurt containers indicate whether active cultures are present.
Are probiotics safe?
Probiotic bacteria are already part of the normal digestive system and are considered safe.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements in the same way it regulates medication. A dietary supplement can be sold with limited or no research on how well it works or on its safety.
Always tell your doctor if you are using a dietary supplement or if you are thinking about combining a dietary supplement with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on a dietary supplement. This is especially important for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
When using dietary supplements, keep in mind the following:
* Like conventional medicines, dietary supplements may cause side effects, trigger allergic reactions, or interact with prescription and nonprescription medicines or other supplements you are taking. A side effect or interaction with another medicine or supplement may make other health conditions worse.
* Dietary supplements may not be standardized in their manufacturing. This means that how well they work or any side effects they cause may differ among brands or even within different lots of the same brand. The form you buy in health food or grocery stores may not be the same as the form used in research.
* The long-term effects of most dietary supplements, other than vitamins and minerals, are not known. Many dietary supplements are not used long-term.

Women's Empowerment: A life of Forgiveness key to personal power
Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another;even as Christ forgave you, so you must all do. Colossians 3:13
Forgiveness is not a word that many of us like to talk about and we really
don't want to hear about it. I have had opportunity to face up to areas where
I was still harboring unforgiveness and when you come face to face with this
it doesn't feel good. Often you revisit the incident and realize the pain and
feelings in your body that go along with the emotional strain of holding on
to unforgiveness.
Forgiveness is not an option when you are a Christian. This is if you want
to live as Father God has instructed through His word. The scripture above
states "so you must all do."
If you didn't know that it was a command, now you do and your job is to
discover ways to live a lifestyle of forgiveness. It is now your responsibility
to ask God for wisdom in this area.
The Bible says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5)
Talk to Him (pray) about this area
in your life. Ask Him for a spirit of obedience and than make room for
His guidance so that you will be free to receive the blessing of God
on your life.
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father, Who is in heaven, may also forgive you your (own) failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings. Mark 11:25-26
Another point I'd like to interject is that just because you forgive someone
doesn't mean that you're condoning their actions. Choosing to forgive is not necessarily for the other individual as much as it is to allow you to live
a lifestyle of freedom!
For illustration purposes let's look at it this way you may receive a dog bite (I don't wish this upon anyone)
. Usually the owner is held responsible. When deciding
to forgive you saying that you condone the action of the dog but you choose
to forgive. Also choosing to forgive doesn't mean you have to go back up
in the yard where the dog is either.
Begin or continue to pursue a lifestyle of forgiveness for your best Empowered life!

Women of Faith Empowerment: Resist and Fight
Ladies,
This is coming from my heart and I know from the heart of Father God. It is imperative that we move out of the place that the enemy is trying to put us. There is definitely something happening in the atmosphere and we as people of Faith must take our stand and resist the forces that would want to bind us in fear.
Now, if this isn't you then I ask you to stand in prayer and faith with me for the women that are in this place.
Resist the devil and he will flee. Fight the good fight of Faith. There are two things that we are being told to do - Resist and Fight.... It is implying action. What are you doing to resist, what are you using to fight?
You must stop the negative talk now, you must stop the murmuring and complaining now. It's a trick . This stops the flow of God's divine presence and we need Him soooooo much right now.
Take one scripture for the day and put it in the first person using this as your word-power verse for the day. If you want to add accountability to it, send the scripture and confession to me and I will unite my faith with yours.
Join women of Faith today! Surround yourself with like-minded people.
Do all you can to resist and fight!
P.U.S.H. Pray and praise until something happens and continue P.U.S.H. - ing!
I love you but God loves you more.

Raise the Praise in the midst of challenging days
Because your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow
and fatness. And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
Psalm 63:3-5
Are you or do you ever have days that just seem to wipe you out
emotionally? And yet you wonder what made this day different than
any other. It's not necessarily the day that is different, but life
continues everyday along a given path. We may divert from praise and
worship and we may even neglect to pray. I'm not saying that
prayer is stationery and that you must be in a certain spot.
I'm saying a lifestyle of praise, worship and prayer.
We must be mindful of our activities on a daily basis. There is
opposition and it is ongoing so it would stand to reason that
our devotion,praise and worship would be ongoing and maybe even
intensified during these times.
Raise the Praise in the midst of challenging days and continue.
Don't stop with challenging days continue to have a lifestyle of
Praise! Bless His Holy name.

Face the facts but know, believe and speak the truth
Do not remember the former things.
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold I will do a new thing.
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even tmake a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18-19
God has not taken a recess and His Kingdom is not bankrupt.
So.... we can face the facts but for His abundant life and to realize His blessings
we can face the facts but know, believe and speak the truth.
In the midst of circumstance He will make a way. Why? Because He's God and
all Power belongs to Him. Praise God and Amen.
Empowering you!

Christian women's empowerment:Run to Him
Have you ever felt like running away from God because what you did
or did not do was less than what you know Father God would expect
of you?
These are the times that Father God wants us to draw close to Him.
He has already provided grace. Not so that we may sin the more, however,
He knows that we may fall and has set up provision for you and I.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,
who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to
the Spirit. Romans 8:1
Walk and be led by the Spirit. There is no condemnation.
Enjoy the lyrics to my song "Run to you"
I delight to do thy will
How I long to follow your ways
I long to fulfill your plan and purpose for me.
Honestly the cares of this life
Try to pull me away from what is right my spirit is willing
but my flesh can be weak....
Will I ever be what you want me to be
Do what you want me to do
The harder I try to please you Lord
I slip away from you
Dear Lord please hear my prayer
I know that you're up there
Just waiting for me to get my act together
so you can bless me
On Sunday morning what joy it brings
to give you worship and your praises sing
It won't mean a thing I can't make it last
through the week
Will I ever be what you want me to be
Do what you want me to do
The harder I try to come close I slip away from you
will I ever be what you want me to be
Do what you want me to do
The harder I try I make the same mistake
and Run away
Until I realize that's the way it will be
until I yield my life completely
And turn away those things that only
temporarily satisfy
And exchange them for your plan for my life.
I surrender all, I surrender all to you.
I will run to you... I will run to you...
