For such a time as this.
Jeremiah 1:5 affirms that before God formed you in your mother's womb, He had a plan for your life. The time He chose for you to be born was not a random thing. He needed you to live your life at this specific time to fulfill a purpose that He has for you. Now, don't let this put a burden on you. It easily could. We have an enemy that looks for every opportunity to discourage us. He will tell you that you have missed it, that you haven't prepared enough, that you have made wrong choices that have put you in a place outside of this will. Instead, let this be a blessing to you! Let it encourage you! Look around you for what God is wanting to do. Pray. Listen to His Spirit's leading. Know that God isn't surprised by any of the choices that you make. In fact, He knew before He formed you in that womb that you would make those choices. He worked them into His plans. Romans 8:28-29. Recognize that He will equip you for everything He calls you to do. Hebrews 13:21.
I had a little surprise health issue pop up last week which led to a doctor's appointment that I left work early for today. Though it wasn't something that I planned for, it wasn't a surprise to God. Coming home early gave me opportunity to sit here and type this post. I thank Him for giving me a word that I pray is what someone needs to hear. Seems like something small, but I know from experience, God has led others to write things that have hit me straight in the heart. Be available. Be willing. He has plans to use you. And at such a time as this, we need each other more than ever. God loves you, my blessed sisters! And so do I!
