I was in a meeting this morning with a bunch of amazing women – women dedicated to the cause of Christ and to the enrichment of the lives around them. We aren’t a perfect group, but we all come from a place of love and understanding that what we do as mommy’s, women and leaders is valuable. And, with that comes great responsibility.
It’s always such a joy to gather and work, plan, and hold eachother accountable, in love, when another falls or needs a perspective change or attitude adjustment. I personally have grown so much, especially when my sin nature comes into the forefront and I am not only loved in spite of it, but also gently redirected to a more advantageous point of view.
As humans, it is so easy to let emotions or a cloudy perspective to direct our paths. (Yes, men, too can be this way, so don’t tune me out!). So often it’s easier to justify our reactions than to control our thoughts and season our words with great grace and love. I personally own walking on both sides of that fence and can’t express enough how much more God is able to work in my life, and move on my behalf when I am walking in the manner in which He has called me to.
Always be free to rise above. Don’t feel as though you have to respond like everyone around you.The bible tells us to live in the world and not be of it. It means we are to live in the way of love. To respond basd on faith and not fear. Walk in His ways, my friend, and rise above.
