In a recent Facebook post, I shared with friends that I’m currently immersed in a significant phase of goal-setting and decision-making. This is not just a personal journey but a shared one with all of you. As we all know, time is fleeting. I carefully consider long-term goals and how God might best guide my decision-making. My ultimate goal is to be obedient to God’s kingdom purposes, a journey I invite you all to participate in.
To say I have a few things going on is an understatement, evidenced by what is on my desk this morning. God is good to allow me to participate in what He does in women’s lives. I pulled a folder from my drawer and found study notes from 2014.
“As we are obedient to the commands of His Word we are blessed by a closer walk with Him. To walk in the Word means we’ll have to deny our selfish desires and do the will of the Father, regardless of the cost. Our attitudes must reflect the will of our Lord and not our own, which is contrary to all fleshly desires. To sense His direction for our lives, we must walk in the Word where we can draw strength daily. Following God’s direction requires intimacy and obedience. It means we will live with one purpose alone and that will be to accomplish God’s sovereign plan.”
