Starting small or starting over can be a humbling thing. There are times we refuse to start over because we will not face the humility that the circumstance might bring. For Refresh Life starting over, small, has been God’s perfect plan. My plan was much grander, but in the past 6 years I have never once come close to accomplishing such feats. With all human dreams laid to rest, the Lord unveiled his plan, there is much more joy here, best of all there is reality.
God working amongst Refresh Life is not smoke and mirrors, he is working through a handful of women who have walked diligently with the Lord. They are my sisters, encouragers, and God-fearing guides. I have learned through them that I won’t be the one to do it “different” because that’s still all about “I”, but I have learned that I am part of something greater than myself, something that was started long before me and will last long after I am gone. I am like-hearted with each of them, we all desire to see young women grow and mature in Christ, in the knowledge of who he is through the power of his Word.
When my strength dwindled and the posts stopped coming I was tempted to let things die away with Refresh Life. Our God however breathes into us new life, Rom 4:17,“the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.”
In his life giving breath, I start over and we as the Refresh Life team start small. I know that I am not alone and that some of you may need to start over, pick up or start small too. Do it with us, let your God breath new life into you. Ask him, he is faithful!
Never give up,
Babbles
