She was a seamstress who decided to use her talents and skills for the good and glory of God. She is the ONLY woman in the ENTIRE bible who was actually referred to as a DISCIPLE. How amazing is that?
She devoted her life to helping those that were less fortunate and had gone through struggles and trials throughout their lives. She showed unconditional love, so much so that when she died her room was filled with SEVERAL widows and SEVERAL mourners.
Her Life was used by God to both show faith, obedience, love, and how the Holy Spirit uses your spiritual gifts in amazing and awe-inspiring ways.
Whenever I am having an off day and I snap at someone or give my Mom a look... I need to start making it a habit to refer back to these women of faith, boldness, courage, and compassion. I need to mold and shape my life to fit the form that their lives took in the Bible.
One struggle I am facing right now is that of Jealousy. Whether it be jealous of a good grade or even of a relationship, my heart is getting hardened by the things and people that are around me. I am NOT acting like Dorcas in the fact that I am not showing compassion and love to the very people that I am envious of.
I need to get off of whatever carnival ride I am on, and get on the rollercoaster that God commands. It has its ups and downs but GOD IS COMPLETELY IN CONTROL.
That is all, Sleep well darlings <3 br="">
