For Her

Luke 1:45  “‘Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!’”

              
                It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to really sit down and write a blog post.  Even this post will be brief because of time constraints, but it’s better than nothing.

      Last week International Women’s Day was a thing and I happened to open to this verse.  Coincidence? I think not.

                I often find myself reading and writing about verses directed towards men or people in general, but it’s nice to find a verse that uses the feminine pronoun for a change.  It makes it feel more personal.  I imagine this is partly why transgender people really appreciate their preferred pronouns being used, but that’s a topic for another time.  All I know is that on a day dedicated to women it’s important to address all women and all of their struggles and let them know that faith can help them push through.

                I know, for me personally, I often just have to close my eyes, breathe, and tell myself that things will work themselves out; I’ll survive.  Whether if it’s stressing about money or relationships or just trying not to bust the copier at work with a baseball bat because it jammed for the 5^th time in 30 minutes, I have found that stepping outside of myself and remembering that God will see through the way he wants me to is comforting.  It helps me stay in check and keeps my mind a little bit lighter.
