Inspirations by C.J.
Updated October 18, 2009

The Candlestick is the symbol of the Holy Spirit but the candlestick cannot work without a "WICK."

A wick by definition is described as a bundle of soft spun fibers, or a woven cord,
which draws the oil upward to be burned, thus producing a steady light.


The wick stands for action, not origination, or authorship;
it is the medium for which the power can pass to create LIGHT.


Light is knowledge.  GOD is LIGHT!   In Him there is no darkness at all.

We who choose to be Women in Christ's Kingdom present this LIGHT by being a servant to all through the power of the Holy Spirit so the candle can GLOW.

Look upon the Proverbs Woman ...Proverbs 31:10-31

10 -31 A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and enjoys knitting and sewing. She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises.

She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started. She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. She's skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking.

She's quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor. She doesn't worry about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear. S he makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. Her husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops. Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile. When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.

She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: "Many women have done wonderful things, but you've outclassed them all!" Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. Give her everything she deserves! Festoon her life with praises!
[The Message version]


My vision for W.I.C.K. ~ Women In Christ's Kingdom ~

We are sent into the world to Light a LIGHT with Fire!

The first "light" is action we take in reaching out to others through the heart of JESUS. The second "light" is the heart we touch on this eartly plain.
The "FIRE" is our compassion, commitment, and servant's Heart
