Exhausted. Maxed Out. Running on Fumes. Bone-Tired. Drowning.
We cannot go one day without hearing these words from friends, co-workers, family members, and sisters in Christ. No matter the season of life - college student, young mother, business executive, teacher, ministry leader, empty-nester, or retiree - we women long for margin, rest, and affirmation that all our efforts mean something. Does anyone even see, let alone appreciate, how HARD we are working? Surely, there must be a purpose beyond this daily grind that overwhelms our schedules and hearts.
For many, the busyness of our lives results from saying yes to good things. But at what cost? When did we trade our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for a couple of extra likes, fewer numbers on the scale, a bit more in our bank account, or one more thing marked off our to-do list? Do you find that your life is checking all the right boxes but still cannot find satisfaction or contentment?
What’s the answer for today’s worn-out woman? A shift in perspective.
In this episode, Laura Bailey chats about her book Embracing Eternity. We journey through the book of Ecclesiastes and discover how living with an eternal perspective results in more peaceful, purposeful, and plentiful lives today.
Join us to:
- Discover how to cling to an eternal perspective in all seasons and situations
- Determine how to evaluate the worth of your time and energy
- Dive into scripture for timeless reminders about true freedom
When we discover, determine, and dive into God's design for life, we can let go of the lesser things and embrace those with greater, eternal significance. Let's stop surviving and start living. We can experience life filtered through the lens of eternity, garnering the freedom only found in the permanent rather than the temporal, and discover the unimaginable benefits of a purpose and identity rooted in Christ.

A Prayer for Generosity toward Those in Need during Christmas - Your Daily Prayer - December 8
When we look at all that God has given us despite what we have done to him, it humbles us. It makes us want to give generously because he gave everything for us.
