8 Jewels in a womans crown

1. Count pain as your friend. It is an opportunity to experience the power and majesty of God in ways you could never experience Him in the mundane of life. 'Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.' Romans 8:17 2. Don't just sit there when darkness falls. Move. I mean that literally. Take whatever action you can to tap into the mind of God and get His wisdom on your circumstances. 3. Commit to a long arduous journey, knowing joy comes in the morning (Acts 20:17-38). 4. Do not be detoured by anyone (husbands, children, friends, _________etc...) or anything (gossip, unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, pride, disillusionment, insecurities, offense, fear, anxiety_________etc...) from the goal of knowing intimately the heart of God. You are responsible for your relationship with God. When you stand before Him, you cannot blame what you did not do on anyone else. 5. Renew your mind by reflecting upon the character of God. He owes you no explanations but welcomes your questions and doubts. Focus on what you know about Him, and search out the things you don't. He is so vast, we could spend eternity learning about Him. (Ephesians 3:11-21). 6. Refresh your hope by reclaiming the precious promises God has made to you (Psalm 44:22). 7. Do not be discouraged by those who should be able to help you but don't.This includes your husbands, ladies! God is our supply. In Him and Him alone can we put our trust. We have access the greatest helper of all. 8. Refuse to let go of your biblical worldview and ? Trust that God does all things well. He does NOT make mistakes. He will not leave you or forsake you. He has already paid the price & given you the victory! This is the power YOU have in Jesus! So, Women of God!! Be encouraged! Cling to the hope you have in Him and live the life you were destined for...one of power, courage, strength, destiny & purpose!!
