Scripture reference: Efesios 4:29-32
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

I had an opportunity this week to see a leader from my past. She was the abortion recovery leader at our local pregnancy center at the time I was also volunteering. We did many post-abortion Bible studies together for several years. I was very surprised to see her because we were at an event that had nothing to do with ministry. We sat next to each other. We shared about our families, and then we also discussed ministry. We both come from totally different approaches to ministry.

Over the years, I have learned a woman doesn’t need to be slammed about her sin of abortion, that it’s something that we talk about, and the Holy Spirit is the one who convicts her of it.

At My Ashes to Beauty, we are very clear that abortion terminates a life. But women come to our ministry broken, and they need someone to lift them up, to love them, to share the truth about abortion, and to share the love of Jesus with them.

As we talked about ministry, I noticed I was raising my voice; we are both very passionate and strong women. I was not feeling good about what was happening. I felt like we were in some kind of strange competition. I felt very uncomfortable. I felt like she was defending herself and also insinuating some things about me that were not true.

At one point, I just folded my hands and stopped engaging with her just to take a break because our conversation was getting kind of bizarre. In the past, sél had hurt me in many ways by her style of leadership, and I suffered not only public humiliation in front of other leaders, but she also told me it was my sin that was causing problems in my marriage.

I have worked very hard over the years to forgive her. Caballero, I forgive her, and I pray You bless her and her family, in Jesus' name. God has taught me many things by looking at other leaders and learning from them.

She sent me a text the next day and was wanting to get together possibly. Honestly, there are some people that I have to keep at arm’s length, and she is one of them.

Have you ever felt like you had to keep yourself protected from certain individuals? For some reason, have you felt they are unsafe emotionally? Was there a check in your spirit, like a caution?

When I think about it now, I was a co-dependent people-pleaser. I had a fear of authority figures, y I considered her an authority figure. I gave her too much power over me, and that was my fault. But I was so wounded, and I had just started in the post-abortion ministry, so a lot of things were coming up from my past. I wasn’t equipped yet to handle all of that.

Perhaps she reminds me of other family members. I am very guarded around individuals like this who have hurt me in the past. I am also aware the evil one is prowling because I sent my ministry cards to some family members who are pro-choice. I know I cannot change their hearts; I am praying God does, but I want them to hear the truth from the other side that abortion not only takes a life but también harms women deeply. Please pray for God to open their hearts to hear the truth about abortion.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Are there certain family members or friends you have to guard yourself from?
  2. How do you navigate those relationships? What do you do to protect yourself?
  3. How can we pray and encourage you?

I pray this topic was helpful for you. Por favor comuníquese si necesita hablar, toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Llámame Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Llámame Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Llámame Mara (Parte 1)

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

Referencias de las Escrituras: Ruth 1:1-2,13b,19-20 y romanos 8:28, y filipenses 4:13

Ruth 1:1-2
In the days when the Judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and their names of their sons were Mahlon and Chilion.

Ruth 1:13b
No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me!

Ruth 1:19-20
Now the two of them (Naomi and Ruth) went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly against me. I went out full and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?

What were Naomi’s thoughts about leaving the land and her home? Did she agree with her husband’s decision? They traveled to a pagan country to live and raise their children. It seemed Naomi’s husband had no plan of returning. She did not experience the blessings of the Lord. Instead, her husband died, and her two sons married women from Moab, which was against God as He had commanded that they were not to intermarry with pagan women. Then her sons also died, leaving her alone with her two Moabite daughters-in-law.

It seems that Elimelech did not trust God to provide for him and his family, and he took matters into his own hands. This probably did not sit well with Naomi.

Did she ever discuss it with her husband? Or did she just sit quietly, but in her heart, she was crying out to God for help and guidance?

When Naomi returns home with Ruth, her daughter-in-law, she tells them to call her Mara because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to her. She was bitter because she had lost everything and felt God had abandoned her. She could have never imagined what the Almighty was going to do next. She would be the grandmother of Obed, who begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David, and so on in the line of Christ.

God chose a Moabite woman—Ruth—to be in the line of Christ. Sometimes we don’t understand why God allows certain things, but we know nothing is a surprise to Him. He knew Naomi and Ruth would return to Bethlehem-Judah and God would fulfill His plan. A Messiah would be born of a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of Ruth and Boaz.

We too have taken matters into our own hands, just like Elimelech did, when we aborted our babies. We didn’t trust that God had a good plan for us. We had to do it all on our own because there was no one else, which was a lie from the enemy. We didn’t seek godly wisdom. We hurried and made our decision without even talking it over with our parents, trusted family and friends. It’s interesting to me that we women who talk to our closest family and friends about important matters would keep this a secret.

For those of you who have suffered abuse by the hand of another, perhaps even a family member, it’s hard to not become bitter and feel like God has abandoned you. I want to encourage you, querido, God sees you and it broke His heart every time you were abused. When you cried, He cried. I am so sorry that happened to you.

But GOD also has a beautiful plan for our lives too. He can make all things work together for our good for them that love God and are called according to His purpose (ref. Romanos 8:28).

He didn’t leave Naomi broken and feeling abandoned, and He will do the same thing for us. Will you trust Him today to take the ashes from your life, the abortion and the abuse, so He can use it to heal you in all your broken places so you can help other women heal from their trauma too?

Todo lo podemos en Cristo que nos fortalece. (filipenses 4:13).

Let’s talk about bitterness. Are you bitter because of what happened to you in your past or something you are dealing with right now? Are you struggling with a prolonged illness, your finances, a broken or dysfunctional relationship? Are you struggling with trials that are lasting years with no end in sight? How do we keep trusting God through these situations and not become bitter and despondent?

It’s OK to go there and to feel what you are feeling and share it in a safe environment and then move on. You are safe here to share.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Are you bitter over the bad things that have happened to you in your past and/or things you are struggling with right now?
  2. Have you felt like God has abandoned you?
  3. What has God done to show His great love for you?
  4. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

The first step is recognizing you are bitter and feel alone. Just by being on this call or reading this blog, you are beginning to heal. God wants to redeem your past. He wants to give you beauty for ashes. Will you trust Him to do that?

Llámame Mara (Parte 2): Hardship and Pain

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

(Click here for Part 1)

Referencias de las Escrituras
Ruth 1:19-20, John 16:33b, Romanos 12:2, y juan 8:31-32

Ruth 1:19-20
Entonces, they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women asked, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to me. I was full when I left, but the LORD has caused me to return empty. Why should you call me Naomi when the LORD has opposed me? The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me!

We have all felt abandoned by God at some point in our lives because of the trauma we have experienced through abortion and abuse. We were vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks.

When Naomi arrives back to her hometown to her friends and neighbors, she states, “The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.” Naomi’s husband Elimelech made a series of very bad decisions, and Naomi says, “I left full and came back empty.” She states that God is against her. Have you ever felt that way? Have you también felt God has abandoned you?

Sometimes we suffer the consequences of our decisions, and it has nothing to do with God’s judgment. We make decisions based on our doubt or fear. I know I have, and they have never turned out to be good ones. I rushed to have my abortion, and I rushed into marriage so not to be caught living with my boyfriend. these dos things alone are life–altering decisions, and both were made out of fear of man. I wanted to cover up my sin, unfortunately, with more sin. That never turns out well.

I didn’t trust God because I didn’t know Him. My perception of God was distorted due to what I observed as a child. I thought He was an angry God and eso He didn’t care much about me. Going to God with my unplanned pregnancy was not even a consideration. I was fearful of His wrath.

Even though Naomi knew God, she doubted Him. She was overcome by her grief and loss, and she lost sight of the goodness of God and His faithfulness over the years. It’s easy to forget those things when life becomes so hard and the trials last for years. It is easy to become despondent, depressed, and bitter.

Instead, God wants us to focus on who we are in Christ.

In this world, you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33b).

Second, we must renew our hearts and minds daily with the living powerful Word of God (ref. Romanos 12:2).

Third, we must resist isolation and reach out and send a text or call and say, “I need prayer" o “I need to talk.”

Fourth, we must have a safe community to share what we are experiencing so we can slowly unravel the chaos and the pain.

Nuestra curación es un proceso que dura toda la vida.. It is hard but also very beautiful. You are not alone. We are here to help you.

Never compare your story to someone else’s. The traumatic events that happened to you distorted your view about who you are and who God is from that dirty lens. God wants to remove the dirt and replace it with His truth.

John 8:31-32
Jesus said, “Si permanecéis en mi palabra, ustedes son mis discípulos en verdad. And you will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is victory in our Savior’s love. He has come to set the captives free (ref. Isaías 61:1).

Sus ojos están en el gorrión

Sus ojos están en el gorrión

Sus ojos están en el gorrión (Parte 1)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

 

Referencias de las Escrituras: mateo 10:29-31, Isaías 61:1-3 y 1 John 4:7-8

 

mateo 10:29-31
¿No se venden dos gorriones por una moneda de cobre?? Y ninguno de ellos cae al suelo sin la voluntad de Tu Padre.. Pero hasta los pelos de tu cabeza están todos contados, No temas pues; valéis más que muchos gorriones.

Isaías 61:1
El Espíritu del Señor Dios está sobre mí., porque el Señor me ha ungido para llevar buenas nuevas a los pobres; Me ha enviado a vendar a los quebrantados de corazón., proclamar libertad a los cautivos, y la apertura de la cárcel a los presos;

1 John 4:7-8
Amado, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor es de Dios; y el que ama ha nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. Quien no ama no conoce a Dios, porque dios es amor.



En la tarde del lunes, Junio 5, 2023, mientras llevo a mi perro a pasear, Me encontré con un pajarito. La pobrecita aún no tenía ni plumas, y sus ojos estaban cerrados. Inmediatamente traje al perro y llamé a mi hija para preguntarle qué debía hacer.. Cuando le envié una foto del pájaro., ella dijo, "Mamá, es un cuervo”. Ella y yo odiamos a los cuervos por la forma en que viajan en un grupo llamado "asesinato" para aprovecharse de todos los pajaritos indefensos..

Llamé a muchas agencias de animales y una sugirió hacer un nido en el árbol donde estaba el nido original y los padres lo alimentarán.. Entonces, Luché tratando de encontrar mi nido improvisado y lo puse en el árbol.. Entonces para mi sorpresa, Un par de sinsontes vinieron varias veces y alimentaron al pajarito.. Le di gracias a Dios por enviarlos..

Odio ver a los débiles, vulnerable, abandonado, aprovechado y abusado o asesinado. Odio la caída cuando toda la naturaleza y la humanidad cayeron en pecado.. Anhelo ese momento en que no habrá más pecado., muerte, dolor, pena o lágrimas. Pensé, “Esta cosita tendrá suerte si logra pasar la noche.,”pero lo hizo para mi asombro..

El martes por la mañana, Miré por la ventana y vi un pájaro carpintero pelirrojo cerca del nido., y salí corriendo por la puerta para ahuyentarlo. Pensé, "Esto es Loco, no puedes hacer esto todo el día; Te volverás loco de pánico cada vez que llegue otro depredador.. Toni, tienes que entregárselo a Dios y rendirte”.

Pasó un rato y noté que el nido se había caído del árbol., Entonces busqué y encontré el pajarito y lo volví a poner en el árbol.. Los sinsontes volaban sobre mí para mantenerme alejado de este pájaro.. Traté de asegurarles, "Está bien."

Lloré y entré a la casa y escribí estos pensamientos.:
"Caballero, No puedo ayudar a todos y a todo.. no puedo salvar a nadie. Puedo proteger y ayudar a aquellos que Tú me traes., lo mejor que puedo, pero ultimamente, Necesito entregarte todo a Ti, ya sea un ave abandonada, los problemas de salud de mi hijo, una mujer que traes al ministerio o la salvación de un miembro de tu familia. Todo está en tus manos Señor; Te entrego el control.

Ver a los sinsontes cuidar de un cuervo, su enemigo, Escuché las palabras de Jesús, "Ama a tus enemigos, bendice a los que te maldicen, haced bien a los que os aborrecen”. (mateo 5:44)

Estos pájaros trabajando juntos para proteger y alimentar a este pequeño me recordaron el cuerpo de Cristo trabajando juntos para ayudar a los vulnerables., el débil, y los heridos en este mundo. en este ministerio, queremos que otros vean el corazón del Padre hacia ellos. Queremos que experimenten Su gran amor y compasión y que los cuidemos como Él lo haría..

Todo el tiempo estuve sosteniendo este pajarito en mis manos., Estaba pensando en el viejo himno., Sus ojos están en el gorrión. Los pasajes bíblicos de los que se tomó este himno están en Mateo. 10:29-31; “¿No se venden dos gorriones por una moneda de cobre?? Y ninguno de ellos cae al suelo sin la voluntad de Tu Padre.. Pero hasta los pelos de tu cabeza están todos contados, No temas pues; valéis más que muchos gorriones”.

Solo quiero que sepas, querido, que Dios te ve y te conoce tan íntimamente porque Él te creó. Y Él sabe cuántos cabellos hay en tu cabeza..

Ven a Él y trae tus sueños rotos., tu corazón roto, tu vida rota, y Él puede hacer algo hermoso con ello si estás dispuesto a confiar en Él..

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. ¿Has podido amar a tus enemigos??
  2. ¿Has experimentado un momento en el que el cuerpo de Cristo trabajó en conjunto para ministrar a otros?? Puede dar un ejemplo? ¿Cómo se sintió eso??
  3. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Sus ojos están en el gorrión (Parte 2)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas espirituales

 

Tuve que hacer planes para poner a dormir a mi querido y leal amigo.. Teníamos a Mozzie para 12 años. Él fue mi compañero constante y mi protector.; realmente amaba ese papel, jajaja. Estaba casi ciego y sordo., y no podía caminar muy bien. Sabía en mi corazón que mantenerlo con vida sería egoísta de mi parte.. Había cumplido su propósito en esta tierra.. Ya era hora de que lo dejara ir.. Me di unas semanas para llorar y dejar ir.

En septiembre 1, 2023, Lo llevé al veterinario, y mientras estaba en la sala de espera, el Señor trajo la canción, Sus ojos están en el gorrión, en mi opinión. Con lágrimas en los ojos y la voz entrecortada, Le canté la canción a Mozzie mientras lo sostenía en mis brazos y lo mecía.. Fue un momento dulce y le doy gracias a Dios por ello.. No planeaba estar con él hasta el final., pero supongo que Dios quería que yo estuviera allí con él.. Me quedé con él hasta que sus ojos se cerraron y su corazoncito dejó de latir.. Le agradecí por ser un amigo tan fiel.. Le di gracias a Dios por el regalo de Mozzie..

A la mañana siguiente cuando me levanté, Me senté frente a mi computadora para comenzar mis devocionales matutinos.. El Señor susurró a mi corazón, “Estoy orgulloso de ti por la forma en que mostraste amabilidad y por cómo lo cuidaste tan bien.. Bendice mi corazón cuando amas a mis criaturas”. Sonreí y mi corazón se llenó de su amor.. Quiero complacerte, Caballero, en cada área de mi vida.

¿Quiénes son tus amigos del balcón??

¿Quiénes son tus amigos del balcón??

¿Quiénes son tus amigos del balcón??

By Toni Weisz/Recovery Tools

Referencias de las Escrituras: Hebreos 10:24 and Matthew 11:28–30

Balcony peeps (people) are individuals who cheer you on in your life. They are literally hanging over the railing of a balcony, cheering you on in your walk with Jesus and in the hard things you have experienced in your life. They are your cheerleaders.

Who do you see as your balcony peeps? Can you see their faces? Can you hear their words of encouragement?

Too many people, even in ministry, are not kind, gentle, cariñoso, or supportive. I have experienced a lot of pride lately in leadership roles, and it makes me very sad because I know that is not pleasing to our God.

In the book, Balcony People, the author talks about the toxic people in our lives and how much importance we put on their words instead of focusing on the positive people God has put in our lives that help stir us up to love and good works. (Ref. Hebreos 10:24)

 

Here is a poem by an anonymous source taken from the book, Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherley:

I was hungry and you formed a humanities club to discuss my hunger.
THANK YOU.

I was imprisoned and you crept off quietly to your chapel to pray for my release.
NICE.

I was naked, and in your mind, you debated the morality of my appearance.
WHAT GOOD DID THAT DO?

I was sick and you knelt and thanked God for your health.
BUT I NEEDED YOU.

I was homeless and you preached to me of the shelter of the love of God.
I WISH YOU’D TAKEN ME HOME.

I was lonely and you left me alone to pray for me.
WHY DIDN’T YOU STAY?

You seem so holy, so close to God; but I’m still very hungry, solitario, frío, and still in pain.
DOES IT MATTER?

 

How do we meet these women’s needs? They need a safe place to come to lay their burdens down. That’s why we do the Sunday Conference calls. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus to these dear precious women. We provide a community of women who have experienced the same trauma because we have walked the same walk. We know through experience what they are feeling.

They are yearning to feel deeply connected in a safe community. They have been used and abused and feel isolated in their pain, and they are vulnerable to the attacks of the evil one. They desire to be seen by others. They need love, support, and encouragement that one day, if they seek God with their whole heart, they will be healed. But it’s hard work, and that is what we are here for, to cheer them on and to help them heal from their past trauma. It is God that leads them to us, and it’s through the power of Jesus, the Word of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit that they are healed. We are just vessels God uses to accomplish this miraculous work.

We meet their spiritual needs as well as physical needs. We do not judge them for the things that have happened to them in their past because that does not define them. We love them, and we know they are weary with their pain and trauma from their past.

We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

I thank God for each of you on this call today. I know most of your stories, and I am in awe of God and the work He has been doing in your lives. I get to watch God miraculously heal your broken hearts, bodies, minds, and spirits. I am truly honored and humbled by the privilege to serve in this ministry and for each and every one of you.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Who are your balcony peeps, your cheerleaders?
  2. Do you see them hanging over the balcony cheering you on? What are they saying to you?
  3. Who are you encouraging? For those that are just beginning your healing journey, take care of yourself and your family first, then you can reach out to others.
  4. How can we pray for you on your healing journey?

Please reach out if you need to talk this week. Send me a text at: 561-327-7274 o envíame un correo electrónico a: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Hago nuevas todas las cosas

Hago nuevas todas las cosas

I Make all Things New
By Toni Weisz/Spiritual Disciplines

 

Referencias de las Escrituras: Revelation 21:1–5, Efesios 2:8–9, Efesios 3:14–21

Revelation 21:1–5
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

God has given me, and those who serve with me in this ministry, a special privilege to walk alongside you courageous brave women on your healing journey. We have watched you come broken and scared to share your secrets of trauma from your past abortions and abuse. You are fearful of condemnation and judgement. Letting go of your secrets is not an easy thing, especially for those who have been carrying them for many decades.

But our merciful kind and loving Father doesn’t want you doing this alone anymore. He wants you healed to become the women He created you to be.

I have watched God in my own life take a broken, depressed, suicidal, tormented woman and lift me off the ground, and show me His great love, by opening my spiritual eyes to see that I was a sinner headed for hell.

My life was transformed when I heard the Gospel for the first time that Jesus was born of a virgin, vivió una vida sin pecado, was crucified, died, buried and rose again on the third day, to defeat death and Satan. He took my place on the cross, He paid my sin debt. I went running to Jesus to rescue me from the torment of a life I had been living for 34 años. I can never repay Him for the gift of salvation that He gave to me.

Efesios 2:8–9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Our healing process is a lifelong journey. I was amazed at how broken and dysfunctional I was when I started my healing back in 2006. All the time the enemy had me deceived that I was fine, no need to look at my past trauma because it was such a long time ago. “I was good.”

That could not be farther from the truth. You see, the evil one wants to keep us isolated sitting in darkness being tormented by him because then he has us exactly where he wants us.

But God does not want His daughters tormented anymore. He wants us to be healed and set free from the enemy and from our own distorted view of the truth. He wants us to have the courage to step out and trust Him to lead us. He wants us to use our voices and our testimonies to help others to step out also. It is a hard process, but it is so beautiful because Jesus gently leads us by His righteous right hand.

Jesus gave me a new life, a new song, and a new purpose. He has made all things new for me, and I know He can do this for you too if you will humble yourself before Him and trust Him. He loves you more than you can comprehend.

My prayer for you:
Efesios 3:14–21

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; que Tú, estar arraigado y cimentado en el amor, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; para que seáis llenos de toda la plenitud de Dios.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amén.

 

If you’re wondering how you too can have this new life in Jesus:

Primero, we must have a relationship with Jesus our Savior. He is our healer. There is no true life change without Him. (Salvation)

Second, we must have courage to step out and trust Him. This is hard to do, but we must trust Him in this process. (Trust)

Third, we must spend time daily reading God’s Word and praying. (Daily Devotions)

Fourth, we must be accountable to others. (Accountability)

Fifth, we must continue to want to be healed in all our broken places. This is a lifelong process. (Perseverance)

Sixth, we then go out and share our testimony so other women will have the courage to step out and be healed. (Sharing Our Testimony)


Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. Where are you in your healing process? Salvation, Trust, Daily Devotions, Accountability, Perseverance, or Sharing Your Testimony?
  2. Are you ready to go to the next level in your healing?
  3. How can we encourage you on your healing journey?
