A women, a heartbeat and a home

A women of God has so many amazing things about her. So many attributes that it is very hard to pick just a few and key in on them but here is where I felt I was being led when I talked at the last women's meeting. I felt as though I should share it, hopefully it will bless you and maybe even bring freedom to your life!

A Women of God
------------
Strength and Dignity are her clothing and her position is strong & secure; she rejoices over the future {and the latter day or time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it!} (amplified bible)

(I love that scripture because it speaks of a security and a boldness that I so desire to be more of- she knows who her God is and what HE is capable of!)
  • She is FREE (Gal 5:1) We have freedom in Christ and through Christ to be all that he has called us to be - to the best of our ability in him. That calling looks different for every women. Some may have a career, some may be stay-at-home moms, some may be worship leaders! Function in your calling in its entirety! Whatever it is, Do it with all you have in Christ. 
  • She is CONFIDENT (Eph 3:20)  In all that Christ can do IN and THROUGH her! She knows that her life is a vessel and a tool for a higher purpose. She does not doubt her God and she trust him. She knows who's she is!
  • She is a GOOD STEWARD (Pro 14:1) She understands that she sets the tone for her home and that she has been entrusted with children, ministry, others. Women set the tone for the outcome of her husbands day, childrens day, her day. She has the ability to tear down or build up (this needs more description so if your interested in it, let me know)
  • She is not PERFECT There is no "perfect woman" but you can be the best of who you are called to be. Stop comparisons and inadequate feelings. Break the molds- Choose to be transformed not conformed.
So where does some one start? 
Enhance your relationship with the Lord. Pursue him. Lay the desire you have before him and let him transform you. (Rom 12:1)

On whatever level your obedience to the Lord is, thats the level you will live on!!!

See him for all he is and for all that you can become... for all that he created and desires you to be. Nothing about you is boring... nothing about you is mundane- everything about you is unique so,..... get lost in the Lord to find yourself!!

My prayer for you according to Eph 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father. from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that our of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooter and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,  to grasp how wide and long an high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 
Now to him who  is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work with us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever Amen!

Remember, Don't be afraid to dream BIG because you are the heart beat of  your home!!!

Here is another favorite song of mine: I Surrender by Kim Walker 
(It's not the standard I surrender popular version- its a completely different song- oh man its good)
 
Have a wonderfully blessed day!
-missa
