CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS
The Elizabeth Honors: They are women who mentor other women. Clothed with His
righteousness and keepers of their own vineyards they seek the heart of God and
embrace the issues of life with courage. She is also her Sister’s Keeper and when she
speaks, her voice is tempered with love and her wisdom is from above. The Elizabeths are
Ascended Women who one-on-one touched our lives, esteemed us, helped us make
righteous choices and provoked us to become “winning women, mothers and leaders.”
The Elizbeths are women with character, such as your mother, grandmother, an aunt, a
school counselor, the mother of your church a best friend or your older sister. She is a
seasoned woman. Elizabeths are enerally between the ages of 50 - 99 years of age.
An Elizabeth is gifted with vision, greatness, inner beauty, and strength. She freely gives
spiritual treasures that cause the least of us to repent. Elizabeth mentors and encourages
each Mary pregnant with vision and destiny to pray, press on, push, get up again, dry her
tears, speak up, stand up, stay straight and keep the faith. A sister’s keeper, she certainly
is – a spiritual mother with heavenly zeal. She takes time again and again to esteem us
and help us make righteous choices, knowing that winning women need Godly voices.
Elizabeth's legacy is filled with amazing stories, testimonies of valley experiences and
mountaintop glories – each ending in triumphant praise to our Lord and Savior.
A tribute to His loving glory! God strengthens her, mothers trust her, sistahs seek her,
daughters emulate her, children laugh with her, men listen to her! Love is her energy,
peace is her rest, joy is her confidence, wisdom is her test. Her prayers are always
answered. Because of her heavy load, she is assigned special angels to watch over her
soul. They call her Elizabeth in the morning, Deborah at noonday, and Esther in the
evening of courageous hearts. We honor you, my sistah, a true Elizabeth, highly favored
by God and beloved by the sisters. The Elizabeth Honors are the highest honor given by
Christian Sistahs to women in leadership of churches and Christian women’s ministries.
