I AM DELIBERATE

I, Annice, have been feeling many convictions during this Christmas Season. My biggest conviction has a lot to do with being more deliberate about what I do, say, feel, etc. One thing is to be a more deliberate Deliberate Woman! This ministry has been amazing so far and I can only see the Lord taking us to greater heights and reaching out to more and more women. I have gotten feedback from a few women who have been greatly impacted by our blog posts and devotionals. For me, that is all a testament to our Savior and for all he has done in our lives. 

I also want to be a more deliberate Daughter of the One True King! My relationship with the Lord has taken a back-burner most days. Being a Stay-at-Home Mom, Homeschooling Mom, Dual Direct Sales Independent Consultant, Wife, Mother, and Daughter makes me busy all day long. Often times I am too “busy” for my Father in Heaven and His Son.

• With being a Stay-at-Home Mom, I need to start my day with God’s word and prayer to strengthen myself to be able to handle whatever is thrown at me each day.   

• With being a Homeschooling Mom, it is my desire for my children to learn about God and his 66 book love letter that he wrote for us, to stand up for what they believe even if they need to stand alone, and use discernment in all that they do.

• With being a wife, it is my desire to uplift and encourage my husband through whatever he is going through daily, love him unconditionally, and to be his helper, not hinder.

• With being a Daughter, it is my desire to lovingly be there for my parents and show them God’s love through my actions and through my children.

• With being a Direct Sales Independent Consultant, it is my desire to use my businesses as a ministry tool to share God’s love with others along with products they love. 

God has used many good and bad times in my life to build my testimony. His work is not done yet. He is still chiseling away parts of me and making other parts of me stronger and more deliberate. A few things that I am learning is to be more intentional about my relationships with those closest to me, do not be afraid to share my faith and be more joyful! 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good life!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Be with all of the ladies who read our blog and their families this Christmas and upcoming New Year. Help us all to be more deliberate in our daily walk and with all those around us. Cause us to be the salt in the world and to live our lives pleasing to you. We love you and thank you for all your many blessings! Amen
