WELCOME 2017:
Year of BOLD Intentions!
Thank you for an amazing 2016! We are about to celebrate two years of edifying, empowering and equipping women to live boldly, bravely and brilliantly in Christ. We introduced a program and network of women who are choosing to unleash their God-given gifts to impact the world and experience victory in daily living. As women (young and mature), we are evolving into the mothers, daughters, wives, friends, individuals, entrepreneurs, employees, educators, leaders, social activists, advocates, artists, creatives, professionals and so much more - that we are by God's design. We give Him the glory for the lives we lead and the impact we have when we understand that in HIM, we are enough, valued, significant and powerful beyond measure. So in life, we are women who win! We are grateful to those who have supported this organization to make it what it is today! Join us on mission.

EQUIP
"I Choose To Win" is a mission statement that doubles as a positive movement. We want women to walk in purpose, pursue their passions, harness their power to realize their potential. If you like what we stand for, like us on facebook.
Thank you to Dawn Bizzell and the women of Raleigh, NC for this past weekend's WIN from WITHIN Retreat. It was such an honor to spend that valuable time with you as we reflected on life with the purpose of awakening the warrior that lives within. If He did it before, He will do it again! Be encouraged as you trust God for your unique paths. "We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37. Thank you for hosting me. I am just grateful to God to be used.
Visit ichoosetowin.com and create your own I Choose To Win statement of victory. Be a woman who won't give up, who won't give in, but who, in life, chooses to win. Let us know if this is YOU.
