WE WILL RISE: EMPOWERING WOMEN...

What is it that you are here for? Who did God create you to become? Are you a future speaker, on your way to becoming a church leader? A business owner? A mom with the best church pies? Whatever your calling in life, give your best and trust God to lead you and make the way. With God, all things are possible...

Sometimes we worry that we won't measure up or catch up, but always remember, everything in God's timing. Trust that God knows exactly where you are. There's a saying that Delayed isn't denied. That means just because you don't see it doesn't mean God is not keeping His promises or that He won't bring your dreams to pass. Growth takes time. Trust God and focus on praising Him and know that at the right time, your wings will take root and you will fly higher than you ever dreamed or imagined!

We are more than conquerors. In life, even if we're not where we want to be, we still have greatness in us. We also have a vital job to help those in need, to encourage, to inspire and to uplift. Even the woman with the little bit of oil who thought she had nothing to give had more than enough. Know that where the hand of God guides, He always provides.

Offer up the sacrifice of praise and never despise the days of small beginnings. Your history doesn't determine your destiny. God has called you and that means that HE has to make the way. Focus on moving forward in God and know that you are beautiful, you are blessed, healed, favored, covered and a Child of the King! You are priceless...

In looking at your goals, dreams and aspirations, remember that the great things God put in you will come to pass. It takes time, so know that every day is a learning experience and nothing is wasted. Every area where God sends you is to help you see how you can help others, to help you stay humble and to learn about who God is and the works He has for you. Trust God to lead and guide you so that you, too, can help others along their path.

Remember, Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. That's why we offer up the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving! What a Mighty God we serve! Jesus already overcame the world and we don't worry or fret! Rest in God's promises and know that the way is always made when you rest in God, trust Him and obey His commands...

Whether you're a teacher, doctor, nurse, stay-at-home mom or unsure about your future, the one thing you can do is pray and ask God for guidance to help you on your path. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't. You are created beautifully in the image of God and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Nothing shall be impossible for you... But first, you must believe!
