Hello to my sisters–I’m Phoebedee. 🙂
I wanted to comment on why the “Women in Session” Group. This group spawned out of the necessity for women to become–BECOME all that God wants them to be and says they are. God, has an awesome perspective of His creation “the woman.” He created her to be a participator, innovator, caretaker, nurturer, exhorter, guide, and sound voice. We are not here to challenge women on points of view; we are here to challenge women to understand the vision that God has for us–a vision that has been contorted and changed so often that even in our own thoughts we’ve often lost sight of OUR VALUE and strength.
I am convinced that the ministry of reconciliation needs to also happen between women and women, men and women, along with those of different cultures and backgrounds. There is a strength that the Spirit of God gives to His people that is only at its greatest power, when the walls of separation are torn down. This separation happens on many levels: professionally, economically, educationally, environmentally, and of course spiritually.
Often the work to encourage change is done through the individuals who experience the fallout from ideologies conceived by visionless people. If I cannot speak to other women about becoming enpowered by God, how can we ever speak to those who prefer to control, limit, or remove our power. Graciously, God has given us a voice to be raised and recognized to show His blessings, His love, His Power, His Spirit, and His Grace and Mercy. This mission of God is not one that is easy, because some folk are not ready or do not even realize their own needs. But, like Isaiah, when God sent me to be a spokesperson for Him to the hearts of women, I said, “Here am I Lord, send me!” Even though the messages may be rejected, misunderstood, critized, etc., I understand that it is not about me, but for me first and then it is about what God wants. His love for us is so strong and passionate, so forgiving and covering–that He can only see the best for us, so therefore, may we only see the best for ourselves, even when it is challenging and sometimes almost impossible to look up or beyond.
I know that the God I serve says I am his daughter. And to each of you, you are God’s daughters, whom God is blessing, but wants to bless the more and use everything you have to further His agenda, which is Us!!!! I love you, because God loves me, and He wants you to love yourselves and embrace His image of you. And to my sisters who believe they’ve got it…today, but we will always need a reminder tomorrow!
Be blessed daughters of God!

I really enjoyed what Phoebedee enscribed. I too share the vision that this woman of God has. I have been chosen by God to be a spokesperson for women who are hurting, bewildered and need comfort. I can almost look at a person and hear the cries of their spirits. I do not praise Gail, I praise God for this unique gift. We as black women and not only black women but all woman need to be more sensitive to the needs of each other. I feel that this site is all about that. They say that there is power in numbers..meaning that the more people unite as one spirit, soul and body, we can conquer anything. As we saturate in God’s presence, may we stay mindful of His Awesomeness and His Grace. So be encouraged my sisters, for the battle is not ours, it’s the Lords!! Be blessed!!
