When the fall Bible study semester ends at my church, I always look forward to where the Lord will direct my study time through the holiday season. I was less than thrilled when He directed me to ... Lamentations!
Lately I've been looking at how God can use the influence of just one woman to change the course of history. Many times in Scripture we see that when God had a job to be done, He'd pick a woman to do it.
I love to go camping. Getting back to nature not only affords me some much needed rest, but it gives me time to think about God. It gives me time to sharpen my focus on the Lord and on His intentions and desires for me. It was during one of these camping trips that I stumbled upon an unexpected lesson in leadership.
Since the beginning of the year, I keep finding myself in unexpected places — doing things I never intended to do. These things were not in my plans, nor on my lists. It's like I keep trying to get back to my old life. Has that ever happened to you?
