God has challenged me to grow in my knowledge of Him but I have to CHOOSE whether or not to display this growth through my actions.

Even Jesus, the Savior of the world, had to take time each day to ask for his portion.

Many people know Christ as their Savior, but the woman who says yes to God longs to know Him as Lord.

If I really want an unrushed life, I must underwhelm my schedule so God has room to overwhelm my soul.

Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.

Here's an encouraging word for someone tonight - don't think you're not doing what God called you to do just because things don't seem as glamorous as you thought they would be. If you are a woman who honors God right where you are, you are in ministry. Keep being obedient, keep looking for the next open door of opportunity, and above all else hold closely to our Lord.

We need to make sure our activities and our attitudes line up with what pleases God first and foremost. Wherever we focus our attention the most will become the driving force in our lives.
