1. A time to discover God’s will for your life, grow into your own person, travel without abandon, flourish in self-confidence, and become the Proverbs 31 woman you were meant to be.

2. Not a time to wallow, become restless, get angry, or settle for anything less than the man who has been chosen for you.  Most of all, this is a time that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

I know I’m too much of a sinner to be loved by such a merciful and wonderful God, but He still loved me despite my imperfections, sins and shortcomings. Lord, I can’t thank You enough for everything You’ve done for me.

Dear Jesus,

Here I am, feeling guilty as I always do whenever I mess up. Yes, Lord, I messed up again. I failed You once more. Why does this always happen, Lord? Why is it so hard for me to stay faithful to you? Why is it so easy for me to give in to temptation? I mess up all the time and I feel ashamed every time I do, Father. I feel so distant from You. Have You already left me? Have You given up on me? Have You become tired of seeing me fail You over and over again? Have I lost my salvation? Those are few of the questions that keep running through my mind, Lord, but I don’t know the answer to all of them, and I’m afraid to know. What if You say, “Yes, I have already left you. I don’t love you anymore”? Lord, I’m helplessly lost. I honestly don’t even think I have the right to call You ‘Father’ anymore. Please forgive me, Lord Jesus. I’m sorry for failing You. I’m sorry.

Sincerely,

Clarisse
