As I stand strong before you, I stand with a man who has always been there for me. The man who has strengthened me in ways only He could. The Man who continues to show me His unconditional love. As I stand, this Man gave his only begotten son. As I stand strong before you, I stand with someone who sacrificed everything for me. Someone without hesitation gave his life for me and my sins. Someone who was stretched wide, nailed to a cross, abused, misused, abandoned, and betrayed. Still like the dawn He rose. He rose and He gave what no one could give another, his Spirit. As I stand strong before you, I stand with a feeling of confidence. A confidence which has been embedded in me from the very start. The gift of Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit. I stand in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control. So, as I stand with three powerful forces with me, I've trusted all three and they have never failed me. You may not physically see them, you may not physically hear them, you may not physically touch them, BUT look at Who's Standing. I have been placed in many fires and have come out unburned and without a scent of smoke. I'm a Wounded Warrior Newly Nourished Making Meaningful Movements.

Just how does she wear it well? With all the pressures of life that every woman will endure, there comes a point where her focus must shift from outward appearances and personal accomplishments to the inner person- the very essence of the woman God designed her to be. She Wears It Well is written for the woman who desires to find her fulfillment in a deep and abiding relationship with Christ Jesus. Whether single, married, divorced, or widowed, the essential qualities outlined in this book such as faithfulness, creativity, excellence, and strength, are attributes every woman can wear better than high-end make-up, trendy attire, or even a sassy pair of shoes. Each of the essential qualities is featured in its own chapter with a discussion of its relevance to the current times in which we live from a biblical context, followed by a profile of a woman in the Bible who wears it well. Every chapter concludes with a practical application of how the quality can be cultivated so that every woman can realize her fullest potential. The art of wearing it well is critical to being satisfied with who you are, and where you are in this glorious season of your life. Andrea J. Dixon-Seahorn, Ed.
