About Me

My name is Marla and I am the founder and Managing Director of In His Image Ministries. In His Image Ministries is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching young women (ages 12-25) to lead godly lives, and remain on a path to fulfilling their destiny. It is a vibrant, exciting, and revolutionary organization that was designed to minister to the needs of teen girls and young women in order to prepare them to live victorious, purposeful lives of excellence.

As a published author, inspirational speaker, life and relationship coach, Regional Speaker for Saving Our Children, happily married wife, and mother of four boys, my life remains quite full. My emphasis in ministry is the personal development of teen girls and young women. I am dedicated to providing godly wisdom, mentorship, and positive influences for young women all around the world. My success in ministry is attributed to the grace and favor of God and the Word of God being the foundation for everything taught to and shared with young women through In His Image Ministries. It is my personal desire that my life is and will continue to be a living testimony of a woman's faith in God.
In His Image Ministries exists to encourage you, support you, pray for you, and love you unconditionally!

'Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!'

" Live in such a way so that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, the Devil says "Oh, NO, she's awake!"

"Practice proactive faith...Proactive faith is receiving everything that has been promised to us by God's Word for His purpose and in His timing." -Pauletta and Denzel Washington

God’s word will: Help you grow, read it daily; Keep you from sinning, memorize it; Teach you how to live, study it; Guide you, meditate on it; Inspire you, hear it taught. Then, if you are still not convinced that God’s word is true – Practice obeying it : )

In the first study of its kind, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that at least one in four teenage American girls has a sexually transmitted disease. Among those who admitted to having sex, about 40 percent have an STD.
The CDC tested teens for four infections: chlamydia, trichomoniasis, herpes simplex, and HPV.
Know your value and your worth!
Remember, the value of a creation or work of art is usually based upon or increases depending on it's creator. Your Creator being God, makes you priceless.
Don't give yourself to someone unworthy of the gift within you. Your body should only be given to a man who is willing to totally commit for a lifetime to you, and only you. Before you give your all to him, make sure he has demonstrated that he is willing to give his all to you.
Strive to live a life with no regrets.

According to a 2000 report by the U.S. Department of Justice, women ages 16 to 24 suffer the highest per capita rate of dating violence. One in three high school students have been or will be in an abusive relationship and most teen dating violence takes place in the home of one of the partners, the report found. Is this happening to you or someone you know?

*83% believe that 'moral truth depends on the circumstances.
*Only 6% believe that moral truth is absolute.
*Only 9% of born-again teens believe in moral absolutes.
*By the time they are adults, only 4% of this generation are expected to believe in the Bible-based Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was founded.
It's time to take a stand!

Our world is broken, but you can take steps to improve the part of our world that your life touches. This generation can be the one to change their home, their community, our society, and our world for the better!

Invitation:
Saving Our Children
Our Nation is in a state of emergency. Every 40 seconds a child is reported missing in the United States. Of these missing children, 33 percent are African American children who are being torn from their families. It is crucial that the African American Community in our country become more involved in the safety of these precious children. There are astronomical numbers of abused, missing and murdered African American children that fail to get the needed exposure in the media. Very rarely are their precious little faces posted on milk cartons and bulletin boards, or reported on network and cable news shows.

Speak Lord; Your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 3-9
As we plan our day, we need to realize that our plans can be subject to change by God. Listening for His instructions is vital, in our service to Him. There’s no special place we need to be to hear Him speak, but we do need to be listening with our hearts. It may be a gentle nudge or even a rebuke. He will whisper, “Go this way”. What great comfort, to know that the God of the universe is with us and leading us, as we go through our day. God can change our every day routines into something dynamic, if we will listen, receive His instructions and act on them.
Prayer
We desire to serve you with every moment of our lives. We are listening today for the sound of Your voice. Lead us and guide us through even the smallest details of our lives. Speak to our hearts today we are listening.
In Jesus Name.Amen.
Love Sis. Nijha

LOVE HIM LIKE I DO VIDEO!!!!
I AM A CHRISTIAN
By: Maya Angelou
When I say… "I am a Christian"I'm not shouting, "I'm clean living.I'm whispering, "I was lost,"Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I don't speak of this with pride.I'm confessing that I stumbleAnd need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I'm not trying to be strong.I'm professing that I'm weakAnd need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I'm not bragging of success.I'm admitting I have failedAnd needed GOD to clean my mess.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I'm not claiming to be perfect,My flaws are far too visibleBut, GOD believes I am worth it.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I still feel the sting of pain,I have my share of heartachesSo I call upon HIS name.
When I say… "I am a Christian"I'm not holier than thou,I'm just a simple sinnerWho received GOD'S good grace, somehow.
