Are you a burden bearer?

No matter how strong you think you may be, none of us are exempt to burn out, having are strength and emotions zapped to the point where you feel almost completely taped out.
Thank God from the strength that comes from the Lord. The Lord wants us to be there for one another and love one another. In his word he said we are to bear one another’s burdens and pray for each other. It is during burdenful times that we need one another more than ever. If you can be an ear, or a warrior of prayer on their behalf, I encourage you to do so. Your unselfish act of compassion can mean the world of difference in the life of that individual in need at the very moment of their near mental or physical breakdown. What you say or do through Christ Jesus can feed their spirits and give them the hope and encouragement that brings them spiritual revival.

Blessings, Sherri

God Loves You!

Social Media in Business

Social media is a wonderful way to market your business. It’s a great way to be yourself, learn from others, and meet new people. When you network you are there to help others. You learn about their business and what they offer and you refer others to them. When others network properly, they will do the same for you and your business. Referrals are great for business and they make you feel wonderful. When you refer people to the ones you’ve networked with, they will feel good about the relationship and will more than likely refer people to you.

There are so many social media groups you can join. One thing you don’t want to do is join too many. Joining too many groups can lead to stress. It can also defeat the purpose because you won’t have time to network properly. Joining a half dozen or so groups is about all you want. You want to be active so others remember who you are and what you do. That is crucial in growing your business through this type of marketing.

Here are a few of my favorite social media sites and what they are all about.

• Twitter

Twitter reminds me of Instant Messenger. The messages are posted immediately and you can direct messages to certain people. You can follow people so you can read and respond to their messages. You can also direct message people so the messages are sent directly to them and nobody else can read them.


Twitter is a great way to network with others and make friends. It’s also a great way to find clients or customers. You can ask for help and show others what you are doing. I love to brag about my boys on Twitter as well.

• Facebook

Facebook is a great social media place. It’s also very addictive. You can join groups that are of interest to you. You can visit the sites of your friends and sign their wall. It’s also a great place to network. You have the ability to post information about you, your business, and many other things. You can also find your friends on Facebook and stay in contact with them.

• Squidoo

Squidoo lenses are easy to create and great to share with others. You can create a lens on any topic you want and share it with others. To network with Squidoo, you can do a search for lenses that belong to your target market. Once you find them, you can sign the guestbooks that are attached to them. You can also mark them as your favorites and keep an eye on them and comment when they make changes.

You use Squidoo the same way as other social media sites. You build a trust and relationship with other lens creators and they will in turn build the same trust with you.

Social media is great for business and building networking relationships. Networking on the sites above is easy to do and it can be a lot of fun. Not only will you meet great people, you will also learn things and gain more traffic.

Celebrate Jesus!

As the celebration of the birth of Christ approaches tomorrow I encourage you even more to keep your mind focused on Jesus. Let it be a time of reflection that Jesus (I said JESUS) willingly left glory to come down here IN THE FLESH to save a world full of people destined to DIE. All our HOPE and our SALVATION rests on Jesus, who is and always will be the "only" SAVIOR of MEN! Be sure you are following the right MASTER!! If you are unsure get on your knees and ask God to show you plainly who HE is and join me/us in Worshiping the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords this Holiday Season....

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Screening is very important. Some types of cancer can be found before they cause symptoms. Screening can help doctors find and treat some types of cancer early. Generally, cancer treatment is more effective when the disease is found early. A mammogram is the best tool doctors have to find breast cancer early. A mammogram is a picture of the breast made with x-rays. Current recommendations by the breast cancer institute is that women in their forties and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Women who are at higher-than-average risk of breast cancer should talk with their health care provider about whether to have mammograms before age 40 and how often to have them. Either way ladies please do self examinations monthly and report any change to your doctor immediately. Time is of the essence when it comes to cancer period. Don't take lightly or disregard any changes you may feel during a monthly exam of your breast and please don't be fearful or going to the doctors to have a mammogram, the sooner something is detected the better chance you have a eliminating it before it reaches an irreversible and/ or, God forbid, non-treatable stage.

Sept./Oct. Woman in the Spotlight: Cherita Jones

Our woman in the spotlight has been in ministry for years, she is committed to marriage and family counseling. She also counsels at risk youths. She is the wife of a pastor and mother to two impressonable daughters. She is a native of Philadelphia who recently transfered to Hawii along with her husband who is also a serviceman.

Her name is Cherita Jones. Evangelist Jones admits that balancing Motherhood and Ministry has been an experience but she keeps going daily by the grace of God and from drawing inspiration from such strong women as, Rosa Parks and Corretta Scott King to name a few. She draws strength from her Faith in God knowing that greater is HE that is in her than he that is in the world. Cherita and her husband have future plans in expanding the ministry they share together as husband and wife, but right now she is committed to raising their two daughters and serving as the Lord leads. I rejoice in being able to share the interview I had with her with all of you.



W2W: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Cherita: My Name is Cherita Jones. I am a devoted wife to Pastor Josiah Jones. We have two lovely daughters Cassandra and Sierra. As an Evangelist, I have spent several years serving in the ministry as well as working in Education at several schools including the University of Pennsylvania. I have been committed to marriage and family counseling as well as counseing at-risk-youth.

W2W: Tell us about your transition from your hometown to Hawaii.

Cherita: Our transition from Philadelphia PA to Hawaii was not an easy task. Once my husband recieved orders to go to hawaii he left a month before me and I had to pack up the household goods and fly alone with my one year old daughter. I did not know what to expect in Hawaii. I felt very prepared to transition to a new place. I don't think that I had any fears. However, there are more than a few difficulties such as, lack of family being around, having to find a place to fellowship, finding a new job. etc... I knew that this is what I would have to face and I embraced it as an adventurious challenge. It has been interesting learing about the culture here in Hawaii and all of the different countries in the Pacific. The food, the stores as well as the customs are a bit different as well. It has been a joy having my second child born here to experience a different culture.


W2W: How do you balance motherhood and your ministry?

Cherita: Ballancing motherhood and ministry has been a learning experience. Most of the time, I would bring my children with me in everything that I did. Either they would sit near me as I taught a group or I would ask others to watch them as I ministered to congregation. God had blessed us with church family that we trust with our children so that we are free to be used. At first when we did not know anyone. My husband and I would take turns with the children. We set up a system that either he or I would be doing something and never at the same time. That way there would always be one of us free to keep an eye on them.

When we moved here, the Lord told me to be cautious of some of my neighbors. In the past the Lord has sent me everywhere and in every situation to minister to people in drug areas and involved in prostitution as well as other lifestyles. However, all of a sudden, I knew that this was a different situation. As I prayed for my neighbors from a distance. I found out that they were deeply rooted into witchcraft and wicka. When it comes to ministering to people, I had to be extremely cautious and prayerful. With young children, their spirit is so open and trusing that as parents we have to be their covering. We have to protect them. Ever since I have had children, my mission has changed from ministering to other people first, to taking care of my children and serving as the Lord leads.


W2W: How is your life as the wife of a serviceman?

Cherita: Life as an army wife is very interesting. All army wives are "married to the military". This life is very self-sacrificing. And many times the rewards that we get are not equivalent to the sacrifices made. Having to be away from you spouse for a year and-a-half. Having to uproot every couple of years can be very stressful. Most civilians don't understand what a military family goes through. However, there is a great deal of pride that each family has because they know that their loved one is protecting our nation and in a time when jobs are scarse and unreliable, it is a blessing to know that this is a sacrifice not made in vain.

W2W: What effect does it have on you and the girls with him being away for weeks at a time and how do you deal with it?

My youngest child was not cognizant of her father's absence. But when he returned she still had tendencies to go to me for everything. My oldest daughter took it pretty hard when her daddy deployed. She is so happy that he is back and she is as close to him now as before. Thank God for skype and other forms of technology, this deployment has been easier because you can call often and the girls were able to see their father through the computer.


W2W: Who or what inspires you to do what you do?

Cherita: Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Juanita Bynum are some of the women who inspire me. These women had to be strong and pray throughout everything that they have gone through. They all had faith in God. Greater is he that is in me than he that's in the world. And they were able to make an impact on their situations as well as impacting others lives.


W2W: What are some of your future goals?

Cherita: Currently, we are looking forward to starting our church in Hawaii.



W2W: What encouragement can you offer to other women who might be going through storms in their life?

Cherita: The darkest hour is right before dawn. As you go through your storm remember that no man is an island. Even if you get depressed never isolate yourself. We all need each other. Never hesitate to ask for prayer, guidance and assistance. Most of the time there are people around who have gone through the same things that we are going through. And many of them would be more than willing to help in anyway that they could. There are eagles out there sometimes we just have to find them and know that they can't be found in the chicken pen.


W2W: Cherita how can we your sisters in Christ be in prayer for you?

Cherita: Please pray that God's protection and blessings will be upon our family.


W2W Lounge thanks Evangelist Cherita Jones for this inspiring interview and for sharing from her heart with us.
