Victory Virtual Solutions- be victorious in all that you do

God Bless You All!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:57:13 -0500

To my AR Family,

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of you for your love and support while I was a member of AR. I would especially like to thank those of you who prayed with me, stood in agreement with me, and offered well wishes and spiritual advice. I am resigning from the virtual business, and subsequently from AR.

I am moving on to work in my calling as a counselor; I may be relocating soon to PA as well in this pursuit. Zion is calling me to a higher place and my answer is YES!

To GOD be the glory in all things!

God Bless you and take care.

Gwendolyn Y.Wright

ps. Remember to be a blessing to someone, whenever the opportunity presents itself; that could come in the form of a hug, a reassuring pat on the back, a prayer, money, whatever your neighbor stands in need of.

GodBless

Christian Humor...ya'll know I had to do it again!

I am one of those saints who loves to enjoy life. I just wanted to share a few chuckles with some of you who are working hard this morning and may need a short break. Please enjoy these, Kids In Church jokes I received via email:

KIDS IN CHURCH

3-year-old Reese :
'Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little boy was overheard praying:
'Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
'That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
and I wanted to stay with you guys.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One particular four-year-old prayed,
'And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they
were on the way to church service,
'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?'
One bright little girl replied,
'Because people are sleeping.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
' Ryan , you be Jesus !'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
'Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked.
'He died and went to Heaven,' the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
'Did God throw him back down?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,
'Would you like to say the blessing?'
'I wouldn't know what to say,' the girl replied.
'Just say what you hear Mommy say,' the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
'Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What Are You Afraid Of?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:28:29 -0500

I give God all the glory, praise, and honor today, for this is a beautiful day that He has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I just wanted to share with you a revelation that I received regarding fear. Last night, I was on a conference call with my spiritual mother and big sister, and I was jokingly stating that though I recognize that we are engaged in spiritual warfare (For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places), I have this fear (likely from watching one too many horror movies) of doing battle with demonic forces head on. Both ladies did make a point that it is not of God to be fearful of anything...especially the enemy because 'greater is He that is in me, than he that is of this world' 1 John 4:4

When I rose this morning, God sent me directly to 1 John 4 and revealed to me just how out of order that is. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 KJV

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7

When I went to the 'strongman' text, the writer declared that there were 2 kinds of fear. One which is a protective type of 'deep respect' as for God, while the other is a negative spirit of fear that chokes out faith, joy, peace, and love. There, reference was made to Job and what they enemy was able to use against him was what he said in his own words that he feared most ('For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me' Job 3:25) losing his children, wealth, and health.

So if you find yourself operating outside of the full power of God's love, say these words with a sincere heart, first tell the devil:
'satan in the name of Jesus, I bind your spirit of fear according to Matthew 18:18, which says very clearly, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. I will not stand for your attacks of fear. Leave me alone, this very instant and never return. If you try, I'll use the sword of the Spirit against you.'

Then pray:
'Father, I see that fear is not from You. I understand that fear, worry, and doubt are the negative faith of the enemy. Forgive me for ever doubting Your ability to watch over and care for me. I will trust You from this time forth as my Source of absolute security. 'Thank you Lord, Jesus, for your peace, power, love, and sound mind. I loose your Holy Spirit in my life according to Matthew 18:18 which promises that whatsoever is loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven. I refuse to allow fear to rob me of all the good things You have for Your children. I claim the mind of Christ from this day forward. Thank you for delivering me from fear. Amen.

Prayer from:
Strongman's his name...what's his game? by Drs. Jerry & Carol Robeson

ps.This may be applied to any and every walk of life, because if God be for us, who can be against us?

Who's in Your Front Row?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:41:11 -0500

This is a prayer request for two of my best friends. There are no medical or otherwise emergencies, just prayer for patience and peace, I guess. We have been friends since the first grade and now find that we are all growing in the Lord, but at different paces. There is the one friend who is blazing the trail in Jesus' name, and then there is the one that is sort of easing into it-thus creating this tension in their friendship. I know that once you have supped with the Lord, you want everyone that you know and love to enjoy that relationship with God, (you even want that for your enemies). I just thank God that as Zion called me to a higher place of praise, I answered "yes, Lord!". We all want the best for each other and just pray with me that God will give us all the patience and love. We all know also, that at any time, there may be a requirement that we seperate to do what God will have us do-my response to that is "your will God, your way!".

Here is a reading about friendships and relationships and this Christian journey...God Bless

Everyone Can't Be in Your Front Row

Life is a theater - invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships/fellowships!

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to:
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

The more you seek God and the things of God-the more you seek quality, the more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God-the more you seek things honorable-the more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth
around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

You cannot change the people around you...but you can change the people you are around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

Step Out!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:58:21 -0500

I recently attended at three night healing revival and what an awesome experience it was. I have more than a reasonable portion of health and strength (thank you Jesus!) so, I was going just to be a part of the experience and to stand in the gap on behalf of family members. Well, low and behold the prophet did call me out on the first night and informed me that I had been wrestling with a spirit of rejection...that was absolutely true. I knew that only the Holy Spirit revealed that and that spirit was bound in Jesus' name. I was also told that God had shown him a vision and that the person standing in the exact spot where I was standing was on fire for God and that God would be moving me out from where I am, and he was not talking about a building. I just give God all the glory, praise, and honor, just for being God. Since opening up the treasures God has placed in me, everything that I read, see, hear, is different. For example, there is a song that I just love to listen to by Shekinah Glory Ministries, entitled "Jesus" and I listened to this song repeatedly when I first heard it, day after day. I just loved it and it ministered to my spirit in a special way. However, it wasn't until after I had received the infilling of the Holy Spirit that I heard that the soloist speaking in tongues on this song. I still find that so amazing, I didn't hear what was being said until I heard it through holy ears! To God be the Glory in all things!

ps. I did see people who had not walk well in many years running around the church, and we received a praise report on the second night of a breast lump that went down over night-and so much more...God is just an awesome wonder and he does all things well. He will meet you at your need, if you will just trust Him and step out on faith!

Give us an example of you stepping out on faith...

God Bless!

Soooo...what are the major changes?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:20:59 -0500

Well, as many of you know, I have been missing in action for a while. Not really due to any specific event, just life. I just had to scale back my commitments, hobbies, etc -to include spending time in the RAIN-and focus on what "thus sayeth the Lord". In the meantime, I have developed a closer relationship with HIM as a result so it was time well spent.

I have noticed that there are quite a few changes that have taken place...what are some of the major differences over the past few months? I am just trying to get an idea of some of the goodies that are at my disposal now...

What are your favorite new AR features?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Gwendolyn Y. Wright, Victory Virtual Solutions....be victorious in all that you do

VICTORY...IN JESUS!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:10:01 -0500

This is my new business name, VICTORY Virtual Solutions. I just wanted my business name to be more representative of my approach. I used the name VAASST for a long time, but as I have regrouped, and have become refreshed, I have re-evaluated my business model and this was one of the areas that needed to be addressed. I am very pleased with it, and the responses from clients/prospects have been positive.

Don't worry though, we stand for excellence in all that we do and that will not change.

I'm BACK...

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:51:26 -0500

Hello Active Rain Family!

It has been my sincere hope that all has been well with you all in my absence. I have not been an active Rainer for a while now, but I am back. I would like to take this time to say that I have missed you all and I look forward to sharing with and learning from you all again. I have just been taking a reprieve, but I have emerged VICTORIOUSLY!

To God be the glory!

Merry Christmas to my AR Family!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 11:05:12 -0600

It has been a while since we've chatted...that doesn't mean that we are not family anymore, does it? Fact is, sometimes families go a while without talking or seeing one another, but when we do, it's as if we never parted. I have been working, learning, and taking care of my family-not leaving much time for anything else. I did want to take the time out to say hello and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year! Remember the true Reason for the Season and CHRISTmas!

You say it's your birthday?...

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 09:11:12 -0500

It's my birthday too!

I just wanted to take out time to say Happy Birthday to all of the August birthday folks out there! I am truly blessed to live to see age 36 today and to have an abundance of health and strength. Just feels like God's favor...His grace and mercy has seen me through so much, and will continue to carry me through.

When I think about the blessings, I just get happy...(hold on while I do a dance right quick...okay, I'm back)

...still having both my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, and last but not least, to know the joys of living day to day with the man God made especially for me---I feel Blessed and Highly Favored!

Have a wonderful day and Happy Birthday to all August B-Day people!

I am officially GROWN FOLK now! :-)

Today, I woke up smiling!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:51:39 -0500

Today is like all other Mondays in a way, yet it is a day all it's own. I woke up this morning smiling from a dream. I remembered as my eyes were opening that I had hit the snooze...or something! I opened my eyes and to my surprise, more than an hour had passed since I should have been up. 6:58 am...the first words from my mouth: "No, Way, Josea!" and I have been chuckling ever since. I just thought that was so funny and I have just been enjoying one of the giddiest days of my life. I don't know why...I don't even remember what I was dreaming...I just know that life is good, God is Great and greatly to be praised!

Have a wonderful week!

I just HAD to ask!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 18:19:11 -0500

I saw this on yesterday, and I think that maybe I have been trying to convince myself that I didn't see it. I just wanted to know if all had heard about it and what, if anything, you thought about it.

I was flipping channels during lunch on yesterday and happened upon an episode of As the World Turns, a show that I no longer watch, even though I used to be a die-hard fan back in the days. Just so happens that I turned to it just in time to catch part of an intimate conversation between two guys that ended in a kiss...that's right folks, two men kissing on daytime television.

Does anybody out there think that we have gone too far, as a society... in which this is okay?

Stirred...but not shaken! (Prayers Please)

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:43:04 -0500

I desire, no, I REQUIRE the prayers of the righteous to intercede on the behalf of my family. We are under attack right now by the enemy who is trying to remove me from the foundation which I will not be removed from. I will not pretend that the weight of this trial isn't heavy...it is. Pray my strength in the Lord that I will continue to remain confidently anchored in HIM. I tell you this...if the enemy knew just how victoriously I would rise from this one...he would have just left me alone! :-)

With God's Love...Pray for me.

PASTOR'S BUSINESS CARD (HUMOR)

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 09:57:46 -0500

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his
parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home,
but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he
took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it
and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday,
he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic
message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the
citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard
your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones?
They still are!

"A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17:22).

Myspace?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 18:22:47 -0500

Do you have a myspace page? I do, I keep my space clean and related to business and my faith in God. II used to think that it was just for kids, but I have found that many of my peers make use of this forum. I also used to think that I would have no control over what others posted, but I have complete control over what I allow my friends to post.
I have made contact with classmates, family, and friends, and I have made some new business contacts as well.

Do you have a myspace page? If so, what's your url? Mine is http://www.myspace.com/virtualassistancefirm

Have you ever spoken with an ActiveRainer?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:02:45 -0500

I recall having read a blog a while back about calling people who we meet in AR and consider to be our associates and online buddies, but I have not picked up the phone and called anyone...not yet. I thought about it, but I haven't made any calls. That is probably because I am more apt to communicate online even outside of Active Rain, than I am to pick up the phone and check in with someone. Probably not the best of habits I know, but I do. If I have an email address, that is likely my primary means of contact.

I did however, receive my first call in from an ActiveRainer last night, that's right...and guess who? Brotha ALEX! I answered, "hello?" , the voice on the other end says, "hi, may I speak with Gwendolyn?" , "this is Gwendolyn", "Hey, this is Alex Harb" , I went, hey, HEY! HOW ARE YOU DOING?, I was so shocked and pleasantly surprised. We chat for quite a bit and I have been inspired to call someone else that I met in the rain just to chat for a bit. I will pass it on Alex! God Bless and thank you for taking the time to call and inspire me!

If you have spoken with associates or met them in person, share your experiences!

HAVE YOU BEEN BLOCKED?

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:17:26 -0500

I received a notice that I had just been blocked! I am crushed...I am devastated!...why would anyone not want me in their fav five? I am hurt! Well, no I am not. I am actually okay with it. I am very open about my beliefs and my faith in God, and I understand that not everyone thinks and feels the way that I do. I am yet optimistic though :-)

God is a good God, and I will continue to tell that to anyone who will listen. I also create blogs about jokes, real estate virtual assistance, my home town, my favorite charity, my family...lots of topics. I am also very conscious of the fact that every person has the right to chose who and what they will believe in, and to be associated with whom they choose- in this and any other forum. I totally get and respect that. So for those of you who are my associates and friends in the Rain, I would like to take this time to say "thank you for being a friend" , I realize that you don't have to be!

I will continue to be the best me that I can be and I pray you will do the same!

God Bless.

When I first started a business in the virtual assistance industry last year, I had no idea how much I would have to come out of my comfort zone to establish clients. I used to wish that I had more of the "gift of gab", but I have come to appreciate my disposition and recognize ways in which I may improve interaction with prospective clients.

I attended a powernetworking conference a few months back and the biggest lesson that I learned has served me well. Your 15 seconds of fame, your introduction when you meet prospective clients which will answer the following five points:

Who am I?
Where am I from?
What do I do?
How do I add value?
What is a quantitative number to prove the value that I add to my clients?

My 15 seconds sounds like this:

My name is Gwendolyn Wright, I am from St. Helena Island, South Carolina. I help small and micro business owners and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. By partnering with my firm, I empower my clients to maximize their time and resources. I have been in business for 1 year, and I have help several clients to save thousands of dollars.

It really has served me well...

What's yours?

Sometimes this blogging stuff is pointless!

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 23:54:32 -0500

Since becoming a member of Active Rain in the spring, I have loved this forum. I immediately became conscious of the point system, what it meant, and how to gain points. Of course, the points are significant, but they are not my main objective on ActiveRain; however, I do occasionally check out where I rank, whose ahead and just below me, etc. I have noticed recently that a few of the blogs that I posted had earned points, but the points were deducted because the post included materials-jokes & funny pictures- that are not point worthy. That's okay though, I won't quit providing the ActiveRain family with the jokes that I come in contact with which may serve to lighten the load of their day. I post many blogs about everything under the sun, including virtual assistance, faith, family, community, events and yes- clean jokes.

As long as I keep getting feedback telling me that the laugh made someone's day, or someone says, "I really needed that laugh, I had a rough day", I will continue to post pointless blogs with a great point!

Laughter IS good for the soul!

Walk in your Authority (Humor)

Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions) — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 10:33:14 -0500

A cocky Northern Department of Agriculture representative stopped at a
farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, "I need to
inspect your farm." The old farmer said "OK, but don't go in that field
right over yonder."

The Agriculture Representative said, "Mister, I have the authority of
the U. S. Government with me. See this card? This card means I am
allowed to go WHEREVER I wish on any agricultural land....no questions
asked or answered. Do you understand?"
