That's right, it's our first official post for our new blog! It's so exciting to see some new changes for this coming year. We have our first meeting Wednesday, Sept 2nd.
Our theme for this year is "Becoming a 31 girl." We are going to be focusing on Proverbs 31 and learning how we can become the woman that God wants us to be. Does that mean we are expected to be perfect? Of course not! As Christians, we know that we are not perfect, just forgiven. It does mean that we need to learn to incorporate Christ into every part of our lives. I found this analogy in my devotional that really spoke to me.
In my workroom, I have 2 identical jars. One is three-fourths full of sand. The other contains fist-seized rocks. The jar of sand represents my activities on any given day: to-do lists, shopping, community projects, painting, cleaning. The list is as...endless as, well...grains of sand. The other jar containing the rocks represents what God wants me to do on any given day: pend time with Him, study His Word, and pray.
If I fill the jar with large rocks first, then, amazingly, I can pour all the sand into the same jar and it fits nicely around the spaces and crevices. However, if I begin by filling the jar with sand and then try to squeeze the rocks into the same jar, they won't fit.
Likewise, if I start my day spending time with God (the rocks), everything else (the sand) seems to fall into place. Excerpted from A Woman's Secret to a Balanced Life by: Lysa Terkeurst & Sharon Jaynes.
I love knowing that by taking 30 minutes out of my morning to pray and spend some time with God, the whole rest of the day is going to be okay. Not necessarily good because we all have storms and rough days, but that time spent with God makes it all the more bearable in knowing that I'm not alone.
Will you be a 31 girl with me?
