Welcome to Woman to Woman Wednesday (W2W)!
I may not know you personally, and I may not know the details of your life. But I would venture to say you are a woman who gives much of herself. You pour yourself out to your family, your job, your studies, volunteering, ministering, serving each day. You give all you have to those around you from sun up to sundown (or vise versa if you work 3rd shift or have extended hours at midnight feedings). You name it, you seem to be able do it.
We are intently putting all of that on pause for a few minutes, to fill ourselves back up. Ladies, it’s time for a mid-week pick-me-up!
This W2W Wednesday may find you at your kitchen table, or in the carpool line. Or maybe on your lunch break or in between loads of laundry. Maybe you’re waiting at an appointment, or sitting for a moment during the baby’s nap time. Maybe you’re just waking up or closing down your day. Wherever you may be, grab your coffee, tea, bottle of water, or whatever your drink of choice is, and pull up a chair (or a parking space if you’re in your car), and let’s chat.
I’m thankful God crossed our paths, and at the risk of sounding cheesy, I’d like to encourage you with three words today…
YOU ARE AMAZING.
Truly, you are! Out of the more than 7 billion people on this earth, not one is like you. You are unique… due to your own set of DNA, gifts, talents, dreams, fingerprints. You have your own preferences, your own desires, your own style. And it’s all beautiful! No one can do what you do. No one has the same story as you, and no one will ever live the life you’ve been given.
Psalm 139:13-14 (The Voice) sheds even more light on how amazing you are:
For You shaped me, inside and out. You knitted me together in my mother’s womb long before I took my first breath. I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe. You have approached even the smallest details with excellence. Your works are wonderful; I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.
That’s pretty incredible, isn’t it?! God created YOU as someone AMAZING. He gifted you, He blessed you, He formed you in your mother’s womb. He filled you with wonder and awe. He loves you, He accepts you, and He delights over you. Those are some things to get excited about today.
I believe so many people, especially us women, get wrapped up in day-to-day life and in our responsibilities, that we forget how special God created us to be. As you go about your day today, may you soak in and rejoice in this truth. May it lighten your step, and may it brighten your spirit.
And may you thank Him, especially today, for creating you to be AMAZING!
Now’s it’s your turn… leave a comment below with your thoughts or encouragement to the other W2W sojourners here. Pick out one amazing thing that God blessed you with that you can celebrate today. Feel free to share that below too!
Woman to woman, you truly are amazing. God bless you today!
