Encouragement for today:
God plants a desire, a passion, an embryonic skill inside each of His children from the time before they are born, and then he waters it with experiences, opportunities, and mentors along the way, to prepare each soul for a major work He would have them do, a work they love. From the time we are infants, He is creating what I call a "LANE" for each of us to love working and flourishing in. I powerfully realized this by the Holy Spirit just recently for myself. Everything that happens to us, good and bad, helps develop that planted gift until we are mature in the gift and bring it forth to our best ability, according to God's plan and timing. In that bringing forth, we continue to grow in skill and maturity, giving it all we have. Through our gifts, we bless ourselves, our families, the community at large, and glorify God, until the Kingdom is revealed in its fullness. God is no respecter of persons. What he reveals to one, He will show to all who seek His blessings. The "LANE" He has for you is custom fit and wonderfully fulfilling, for what He wants for you is for you to do what you love most, what He set in you from the beginning. May you all find that purpose and work that you love above all other things. What a marvelous world we will have if we strive to bring out the best in all of us.

Wonderful women with a lot to offer!
I, Muriel Luedeman, am available to speak on the vision of Neighborhood Transformation and have an emailable list of ways to care for neighbors. It seems women are especially created for this kind of ministry, for they respond quickly and eagerly to neighborhood issues. Last May, I initiated Jesus L.I.F.T.S. Sisters to connect with and encourage women to identify and seek their passions and individual callings given them by the Holy Spirit. We meet at 6:30pm the 1st Tuesday and 3rd Thursday each month at my studio ELOAH Creative, 2425 S. Crysler Avenue, upper-level parking entrance. We are planning our 2nd Women's Encounter event at Living Hope Church, the date to be announced for May 2022.
