Sometimes we just need a really aptly spoken word of truth. Pricilla Shirer's book The Resolution for Women has a great list of reminders taken from scripture to help us keep our eye on the prize in the midst of our crazy days. What is so cool is that she rewords them so that you and I may read God's truth in the first person. I hope these breathed-of-God words bring life to your weary soul today. If you are feeling overwhelmed or defeated please hear that you are so loved. You are loved outside of circumstance. If it is dark and cold in your soul today, let Love bring back the warmth with His kindness and His grace. Today I am praying for my hurting and overwhelmed sisters, you are not alone friends!
