On the Brink of Expansion

Quote from Lisa Bevere:

"I had set up little boundaries and parameters around my life to keep things nice, safe, and orderly, and God was getting ready to expand my borders on every front-by enlarging my heart and life. None of us were created to maintain what we have, we were made for expansion. Daughter of the Most High, God wants to enlarge the life of each and every one of us. He wants to push us out over the brink of what we can control on our own abilities and strength and position us to realize the lives He has for us outside our neat and tidy packages. He wants us to reach beyond and extend our roots, even when it complicates our lives."

Great Reads

I am reading a book called Nurture written by Lisa Bevere. It is about women in the body of Christ helping one another be all that God wants them to be. I need to seek out older and wiser women who have walked with God. Their insight is so valuable. I also need to remember that I am always older than someone(gasp), and God wants to use me to edify younger women. 

"Instead of listening and allowing God's message to enlarge our life, we are too overwhelmed by trying to figure out how it will happen, and what it will look like, and compiling a list of reasons why we can't do it." -Lisa Bevere
