You Are the Girl for the Job Quotes

“Show me a woman who knows where God has called her but who holds progress in high regard, and I’ll show you a woman who understands abundance. Show me a woman who knows that vision affords her patience but has patience to see the vision God has given her come to fruit, and I’ll show you a woman who understands abundance. Show me a gal who does not have time to compare the lives of other women because she is furiously busy thanking God for where He has brought her, and I’ll show you a woman who understands abundance.”

“At some point in your life, you are going to come up against rejection. Someone (or many someones) will take a long hard look at you and decide: I don’t like her. She’s not for me. It may be because you’re too spiritual. It may be because you’re too kind. It may be because you’re too pretty or too ugly in their eyes. Perhaps you are too smart, or maybe it’s because you weren’t educated properly. You might have said too much or said too little. You might be rejected because you did something wildly wrong or because you refused to cosign on their sin. It’s likely that at some point, you’ll be rejected because you actually did something awful or had bad intentions, and they refused to give you grace. There’s also the potential for you to be rejected when you did absolutely nothing wrong. You’re in good company, because this is also Jesus’ story.”

“I refuse to miss out on what God is doing, what He might be saying, and how He may be miraculously intervening. I refuse to miss out because I’m focused on myself, my insecurities, or my perception of my own capacity.”

“To stand woefully before Him and all the people He’s placed in front of us to serve and mourn that we don’t seem to have any gifts—that’s calling Him a bad giver. That’s the same as calling Him careless or thoughtless or insinuating He has the capacity to skip over one of us, and all that I know to be true of God tells me He can’t forget even one of His kids. He wouldn’t forget one of His kids. The Giver has not forgotten you,”
