Being a title holder is an honor, an excitement, and a huge amount of responsibility. We are given one year to make an impact. It is an opportunity to dance with God down the path of community engagement and partnerships that He lines up. It is a year of constant service. Sometimes, the weight of it can be heavy and we can get exhausted… mentally, spiritually, and physically.
When you find yourself in those moments, take heart, because Jesus takes us out of the muddy pit. May you cling to Him, look up and not be distracted by the world.
God created You to be a woman clothed with Dignity and Strength. A woman of Joy and Laughter in the midst of overload.
“I am clothed with dignity and strength, I will laugh at the days to come.” Proverbs 31:25
Dignity

Each occasion/opportunity to serve is important, formal, and real. Even the little meetings. Have Faith.

Effect force, potency as of inducements or arguments

I love words and getting to the bottom of their meaning. Let these definitions (and a few of my own understandings) sink into your soul. Rest in these words. Let the truth of who God made YOU wash over your entire being.
