Being A Light In Your City

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I would say, that of all the emails I receive from readers of Women of Influence, the prevailing concern is “I don’t know what my purpose is, how do I find it?” And though this post isn’t about finding your purpose , I will say this: Start with where you’re at! My English teacher would... [Read more]

We’re Celebrating 20 Years …

… Of Marriage! June 10th 1989 was the day those words reverberated in Fishponds Baptist Church … “I Do.” In fact, so many of our guests commented on two things after the service: It was one of the few weddings they’d been to where the bride and groom said their vows to each other and loud enough so people could hear at the back of the Church – not difficult...

Who Are You Trying To Reach With The Gospel?

One question I have to ask many online ministries when they seek my help is “who are you trying to reach with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?” The first issue and, I know I’m going to get some unsubscribes for saying this, but I hope after you read the four Gospels and, read about Pauls ministry, you’ll resubscribe when you learn the truth … Jesus didn’t preach Jesus,...

What Is Your Business In The Marketplace?

For many months now, I have been spending some time looking at what it means to be a Marketplace leader and more importantly, what it means for us as Christian Women to play out our role as Marketplace Influencers. Dictionary.com defines the marketplace as: An open area or square in a town where a public market or sale is set up. The world of business and commerce. A situation or place in which... [Read more]

I’m Thankful …

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but as I’ve been telling all of my US connections who didn’t know I was British (those are the ones I meet on Twitter or Facebook so, they’ve never heard my voice), that I celebrate Thanksgiving every day … almost. Yes I know, heard it all before and it sounds corney. It’s true though … I try to remember something... [Read more]

You Are What You Think

Today, I’m setting the stage for a multi part series I’ll be writing on renewing your mind. If you’re on my maling list, you’ll be automatically updated each time I add another post to the series. Proverbs 23:7 says: For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Naturally, this applies to women as well as men but it really does clear up one thing, that “luck” has... [Read more]

“Lights!” “Camera!” ….

Can you imagine the director of a movie shouting “Lights!” “camera!” … and then just stopping there? What’s missing and what would be the result? There would be no action and therefore, there would be no movie! I’m not a huge movie fan but for you movie fans out there, I know you’d be distraught. But guess what … too many of us are living our lives... [Read more]

It’s Not My Fault!

Ever justified your actions using this line … “it’s not my fault!” I confess, I have … too many times in the past but I remember years ago, my manager used to say to me, “stop justifying Trish and take responsibility.” And sometimes we need reminding that the decisions we made yesterday have brought us to where we are today so instead of crying “it’s...

Learning To Love Yourself …

Remember Whitney Houston’s Song … “The Greatest Love of All?” It’s one of my favorite songs which actually made me appreciate why it is that some women love who they are whilst others dislike who they are, despite the compliments from others about their looks, their figure, their beautiful skin and hair. Whitney Houston sings … “I believe the children are our... [Read more]
