Last Thursday, I had the privilege to go to “A Woman’s Call to the War Room” Luncheon with some of the ladies from Grace in the Wilderness Ministries. At the conference, Karen Abercrombie aka Mrs. Clara from War Room, shared her testimony and challenged us to remember our purpose and pray for each other. Prayer is our FIGHT SONG. Don’t give up on the tool that God blessed you with? Pray for each other, pray for strength, and pray for direction every day.
Mrs. Abercrombie said that she prayed for 13 years to be a part of something bigger, to act in a movie that would make a difference, to have her chance at the big screen. At many times she felt like God wasn’t listening or didn’t hear her prayers. Then one day, out of nowhere, God answered her prayers. 13 years later, she walked into the very church where one day the auditions would be held for “War Room.” She has no idea God had a plan for her life, but it was all in His timing. Later, she walked into her audition as Mrs. Clara and walked out with the leading role. God answered her prayer in His timing and used her talents to share His message around the world. God is working even when we cannot see what’s going on. Mrs. Abercrombie said she was an ex party girl that God never gave up on. Don’t give up on God because you are too impatient to see his plan fulfilled.
Mrs. Abercrombie started her walk with the Lord by going to something like Released Time. She didn’t have a supportive Christian family, and she wasn’t made to go to church every Sunday. Instead, she learned about God in a small Bible class. I encourage you to check out Released Time or FCA at your school or other local Bible studies. Can’t find one you like? Consider starting one with your friends. Reading the Bible can be challenging alone, but it’s always nice to be able to read and reflect with your friends. The YouVersion Bible App also offers a ton of Bible Studies and devotionals for all stages of life. Look it up and see what God has in store for your life!
Remember, you can’t get closer to anyone without spending time with them! Spend time with the Lord today and watch your whole life start to change.
“For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees, and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.” Deuteronomy 30:16
“In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9
May the Lord Bless you and Show you His Grace every day!
Praying for you always girls!
