As I sit and type my head is a whirl wind of thoughts and emotions. How many hats can one woman hold? Brainstorm with me: woman, daughter, mother, wife, sister, granddaughter, career woman, volunteer, breadwinner, single mom, and friend. I did not give the "hats" justice but we get the picture. Now envision the woman walking on a tight rope with a circling plate in the air for each role she holds. She must move forward keeping every plate from tottling, heaven forbid come crashing down to the floor hundreds of feet below. At the end of the rope some unknown force gives the walking line a jolt. In one simple whoosh her feet go flying and we see every dish come crashing toward the floor.
But wait! She has two more hats in her pocket. As she grabs passed the used tissue and candy wrapper for those hats she realizes that they should have been the first ones on this morning. No matter what role a woman plays in her life the unchanging, same today as is forever is the hat that God loves her and will never leave her. The other hat is that of Jesus Christ who will never fail her when the tight rope she puts herself on gets rocked. Jesus wants her feet on solid ground with HIM. For at that moment Jesus asks her to look up. Not back or down or side ways. Up! Lift up your gaze heaven ward I will never leave you nor forsake you.
As a woman after God's own heart may I never look any other direction than heaven bound!
Jos 1:5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
