Women in Touch Meeting - Grace's 5 Blessings

From our recent Women in Touch March 2009 meeting - Grace spoke a word of encouragement containing five key features:

1)ACCEPTANCE, particularly of the way God has made me; 2)COURAGE, to change in the areas He wants me to and fearlessly step out in faith; 3)WISDOM, to not compare myself to other people and focus on what God has called me to and how He would like me to go about doing it; 4)RELEASE, allowing God to release me into my calling and also let go of hindrances that are not His best...releasing the past; 5)ASSIGNMENT, walk in, focus on and adhere to what God has assigned me to do.

I hope my interpretation is close to Grace's intended word. It was incredibly refreshing and encouraging to me as I was at the time looking for strength and momentum to make changes in my life. Her talk ministered to me on a deep and personal level to address the challenging areas I face by taking action, moving forward with a plan and setting goals to attain God's best.
