woman: the new has come

This past weekend New Life Church had a Women's Conference. It was the kind of thing that changes the way people live their lives.. Precilla Shirer spoke an encouraging word over the women of our church. A word that helps us know that God wants us to stop wishing and wishing that we could hurry up and move on to the next phase of our lives, whether it be leaving singleness to be in a relationship.. or rushing past the dating years to get married.. or wishing that we could go ahead and arrive and shine in the calling God has placed on our lives. We can't keep up the habit of constantly wishing the present away, never satisfied because we think one day we'll wake up and our lives will look like what we always thought they would. No, we have to embrace our season. We have to invest our hearts wherever we are.. at whatever phase of life in which we currently reside. God has rest for us NOW. God has a plan for us NOW. Exactly where we are. As long as we are loving God and Serving faithfully with whatever we have in our hands at the moment, we are walking in God's perfect will for our lives. The new has already come.
