So You Want To Be A Virgin 1.1

Discernment does not have to be overwhelming or daunting. As the Isrealights knew well, our God is a God of process. What road have you walked down in life that you feel was a waste of time? What road led to a dead end? In prayer this week, I would like to invite you to revisit those roads and find where God opened doors along the way. See which doors you stepped into, which ones God closed, and which ones you may have closed. Open those doors in prayer...and walk through. God has so much to offer us. Peeking behind those doors He has opened may help lead us where we ought to be if we are not there already. And please sister, no matter how difficult, enjoy the process!
