Wealthy Woman Wednesday Newsletter: Don’t Let Nobody Steal Your Joy!
Wednesday, July 23, 2025 • My beautiful mother-in-law sends daily messages to my husband and me.
This morning’s note simply said:
“I love you guys. Have a wonderful, blessed day and don’t let anybody steal your joy!”
It hit different.
Because if you’ve ever been covered by the prayers of a wise, Spirit-filled woman… you already know:
They’re always right. And always on time.
No matter how high you climb or how boldly you operate in the world, there will always be someone waiting in the shadows—watching your light, trying to dim it, and hoping to disrupt the peace they didn’t give you.
But what they fail to realize is this:
They didn’t build this. And they can’t burn it down.
Not your purpose.
Not your marriage.
Not your finances.
Not your joy.
When They Come for Your Wealth…
You don’t fold. You double down.
You make sure your savings account is stacked.
Your bills? Paid.
Your credit score? Closer to 850 than 500.
You protect your financial house like it’s sacred—because it is.
You don’t choose between the building and the bag. You own them both.
When They Come for Your Relationships…
You guard your circle and stand firm in your standards.
Your friendships are real.
Your marriage is intentional.
Your alliances are aligned with your assignment.
Because you don’t keep company with liars, manipulators, or joy snatchers.
Circles are wide—but your corner? Tight.
When They Come for Your Spirit…
You go back to the Word.
"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." — Psalm 30:5
Joy is your birthright. Favor is your covering.
And no attack, no whisper, no opposition will ever outlast what God has already ordained.
Your faith is louder than your fear.
Even when you can’t see the path, you walk anyway—because He always delivers.
When They Come for Your Mind and Body…
You remind them that resilience is your new flex.
Yes, you might bend under pressure.
But you don’t break.
When life throws anxiety, overwhelm, and doubt your way, you stand flat-footed in your identity.
You say it with your chest: “Not today. You got the wrong one.”
Because broken people often break others—but you’ve done the healing work.
You know who you are. And no false narrative can change that.
When They Want You to Stay Silent…
You speak. For the sake of your sanity, you speak.
You don’t ride the fence on your faith.
You don’t hide when it comes to your finances, your family, or your future.
You protect your peace like it’s gold. Because it is.
And you practice self-care that’s deeper than spa days—it’s truth-telling, boundary-setting, and joy-protecting.
This is your reminder:
You are powerful.
You are prepared.
And you are absolutely worth protecting.
Peace is non-negotiable.
And joy? That’s your portion.
With Love & Joy,
