Business Women in the Word

Somehow, someway, God works through our expectations. He works in our lives about as much as we expect Him to work in our lives. So what are you expecting God to do in your life today? God says, “If you will give Me the little bit you have, I can do great things through you.”

The good news is that because of the Cross we receive the gift of a lifetime. He can restore us. He can make our lives whole, no matter how many pieces we’re broken into or how few days we have left to live. He’s the source of the integrated life we crave, the one we’re made for.

“I don’t know what challenges you are facing in your life right now, but God does. He understands how you feel. He cries with you in your heartache, and He has the power to turn your life around.”

When we become still and silent, when we start serving and embrace suffering in our lives, then we facilitate real spiritual transformation. We learn that we can’t solve our problems in our own strength or alter our outward appearance and expect our lives to change. Metamorphosis comes only by grace.

“While we must learn to adapt and change course to ride out the storm, we also have to know when to drop anchor and stay fixed in place. With God as your navigator, you will know when to ride with the storm and when to drop anchor and stand firm.” Heb. 13:8

You have creative license to be who God made you to be. We must be willing to be guided by the One who knows us best. Remember, every second of every day is your Second Chance to move into your God-given purpose. It’s go time!

No matter the stage we’re in, we can all learn more about who God made us to be by focusing on Him. As we develop a closer relationship with Him, we become more like Him. When we look to our Creator as the source of who we are we can shine brighter than any star in the night sky.

True communication is about connecting, sharing and understanding. If we really want to remove the accumulated armor that envelops us over the course of our lives, we have to be willing to risk our hearts and reveal who we really are. Share the truth and ask God to open up the communication channels for rich, rewarding, transparent, & strong relationships

“Give thanks with a grateful heart, Give thanks to the Holy one, Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son”…Give Thanks in all things, at all times and experience a full life with no regrets.

Measuring tape -they let you know that you don’t quite measure up; Sandpaper -abrasive, painful, irritating crafting you into a sharper tool; Hammers -subtle as a freight train, demanding; Skill saw -gifted in cutting others down; Vise grips -get a grip and don’t let go squeezing the life out of you; Grinders -explosive personalities; Axes -negative, grumbling tearing down hopes and plans; Hatchets -smaller chops holding on to past hurts and grudges; Putty -no consistency or back bone.You can learn from each of these to be the strong leader God has purposed you to be. See the positive in each and you will grow.
