Hope for the Disappointed Heart

Joy

Hope for the Heart Series,  POPULAR POSTS,  Women in the Bible

Finishing Touches

In my quiet time, I’m focusing on one-word for the entire year. As I sought God last December, I wondered if this was His tug on my heart or my wanting to join in with a popular practice. The tug wouldn’t go away.  I continued to seek Him until the...

Ladies, the times we live in can challenge the hea Ladies, the times we live in can challenge the heart. 

In our homes and in our workplaces, with our family and our friends, with our sense of purpose and our passions...we're constantly making choices. Sometimes we choose to do nothing at all.

But as we consider the best choices we can make, it helps to know God's priorities for our lives. 

It's something to think about. But even more so, I believe it's something to pray about.

It's the reason I'm excited to gather with other women of faith. It happens on #internationalwomensday weekend at a prayer breakfast filled with worship, personal reflection, and community connection.

I continue to learn that it's not just time for us to see things differently. It's time for us to see things clearly -- God's Call, God's Way.

Join me on Saturday, March 7th at @thepaulineteabar in Charlotte NC! There's a seat with your name on it, in a space where you can be encouraged and be empowered to take your next step of faith.
