The Dynamic, Divine, Determined Ladies of CEFL

The photo slideshow above showcases the ladies of CEFL who are united not by dues, positions, socio-economic status, educational level or even geographic location but simply by their love for God, their desire to be all God created them to be and their personal committment to learn, grow and be. The women here represent many areas of society: communities, marketplace, church, government, home. Everyone here wants to be change agents in this world. How fantastic is that?!! Everyone also is in a different level spiritually but all seek deeper spiritual development. While there are many organizations that are committed to women in various ways, CEFL through this site is different because we embrace a Christian worldview as we seek to help all sistahs be God's instrument of peace and change wherever they find themselves. CEFL wants to help you bloom where you are planted.

Learn from each other, share your stories, ask questions, give tips, this site is only as good as we all make it. Feel free to add YOUR pics showcasing you in action being a light in the marketplace, in politics, in ministry, doing community service and just hanging with other sister-friends for the main page. Family pics are fine for your personal page. I may not know all of you personally but pictures say a 1,000 words right?! I pray this will be your year to soar! CEFL is about the advancement of women in church and society! Going somewhere? Take a sistah with you! Got somewhere? Don't forget to look back and reach for another sister behind you. Not sure where you're going yet? Ask a sister for some advice!

CEFL has events in South Florida and the NYC area. We've been in existence since 1996. I hope we all get to meet at the events being planned, but if not, this is our virtual meeting place.

VISIT our main organizational website www.cefl.org its done!

Let me just say, however you heard of CEFL, whatever your reasons for joining, I welcome and embrace you. I celebrate the uniqueness that makes you...YOU. Sisterhood rocks!

If I Liked Something About Myself, It Would Be...

Don't be fooled by the title. I know I'm a woman of God, fearfully and wonderfully made. Day-to-day struggling to be an accurate reflection of Him - the most beautiful and awe-inspiring Image we can ever hope to look upon. Knowing that helps me to see that I truly have purpose, potential, and beauty.

But then I come face-to-face with certain realities. Missed goals, my own frail humanity, self- and society-imposed expectations. What would there be to like about me then if I focus on that… Continue

How Is Everyone Holding Up?

I feel weird today. I'm actually typing from the lobby of Broward Community College where my son is taking "Website Design" classes this week. When I was driving I felt a little teary eyed and as I type I still feel that way. I'm wondering how you are holding up? YOU, the person who actually clicked on this blog post and wanted to know what this was going to be about. Actually its about YOU. I'm thinking about YOU today. How are you holding up? The economy is going crazy, there never seem… Continue

Blossoming Alone

I was reading about the call of Jeremiah this morning in Jeremiah 1. He was shown an almond branch. My Nelson's Study Bible noted that almond trees blossom when other trees are dormant. It is first to bloom, signifying the spring. This was significant to me in the following manner:

1) Jeremiah's call was for his specific and individual season. Others were yet to operate, or had ceased operating.
2) Jeremiah's call was ushering in spring while others were dormant. God was going to use him to bri… Continue

Building each other up as Ministry wives...

I recently became a pastor's wife and I must say it was a bit weird at the beginning, but I thank God because He has surrounded me with a loving immediate family as well as a wonderful spiritual mom and dad which have taken us under their wings and of course a loving church family.

I always knew that my husband has been called for full-time ministry, since we started dating which was at a young age. He was just a powerful speaker and an annointed musician but beside that he knew that God had ca… Continue
