Is what you DO (or don’t DO) keeping you STUCK?
Somewhere in the Bible you have read and tried to believe, that God created you intentionally by design and purpose, and placed you in the right place, with the right people, at the right time to make a difference in the world!
In the shadows of your heart of heart, don’t you wonder, how can that possibly be?
Sometimes, life seems to be passing us by in an exhausting race that is crowded with overachieving expectations both internal and external. What moments of personal space we might grab just before crashing into a dead sleep or while waiting in a car pool line, is invaded with comparing ourselves with an overload of social media mania mom’s, wife’s, daughter’s and career chaser’s. All who are doing just great!
The bar seems to move higher and higher as social media has become our new front porch and everyone else seems to have awesome kitchens for taping Facebook Live; Pintrest pages filled with dreamy fixer-uppers and Southern Living gardens, daily delivered blog post telling us 5 ways to …(dot, dot, dot) and a huge Instagram followings for those lofty bible quotes that slip in between all of the above often leave us feeling “less than”, “not enough” and defeated. (They are NOT following US BTW!)
A huge number of God chasing women live with the silent but nagging—“I want to be her!” “She seems to have it figured out!” “She is doing so much for Jesus! I want to do-be-accomplish THAT!”
Every woman longs to make a difference, to be the super-star, role model of her own life.
I love Ephesians 11:4 in the Living Bible:
If you wait for perfect conditions, you will NEVER get anything done!
AMEN?!!
Beginning with the “Eve” of womanhood we each long to seize the most we can from the life and circumstances we have been given.
We all strive to have all, be all and do all God has designed for our lives. We want to make a difference in the world.

Just checked and saw that it’s actually Ecclesiastes 11:4 Living Bible (TLB) not Ephesians 11:4.
