Hey! Lighten up! Snap out of it!
Life's got some pretty special things going for it.
And you're one of them.
It's about time you thought of yourself as 'special' -- God does.
You're an OWEG -- be proud of it! Flaunt it.
Let the world know . . . you are loved! Being an OWEG
is a really terrific thing!
Bet'cha you're one and you don't even know it!
It's time to realize 'who you are'!
Here are just a few ways you can be sure you're 'one of us'!
You're an ordinary woman if . . .
. . . you're doing your best to get from
to
and doing it with a smile . . . Come on, so what else are you going to do?
"All the days ordained for me were written in Your book
before one of them came to be." -- Psalm 139:16
If. . . you know how to hide unfolded clothes and unwashed dishes while cheerfully welcoming unexpected guests.
"For we are God's workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do." -- Ephesians 2:10
If. . . you can remember 'nothing' lasts forever,
when it certainly seems to.
"Delight yourself in the Lord and
He will give you the desires of your heart." -- Psalm 37:4
If . . . you are always assuring everyone
you have your life under control, while juggling more than your share. "I can do everything
through Him who gives me strength." -- Philippians 4:13
If . . . you are feeling as though your entire life is run by a clock that is 'missing' at least 5 hours!
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." --Ecclesiastes 3:1
If . . . you are spending too much time under an and not enough in the SONSHINE . . .
"I have set My rainbow in the clouds,
and it will be the sign of the covenant
between Me and the earth." --Genesis 9:13
Guess what? . . .accept it, my friend. You are an 'Ordinary Woman' . . .
Yes, Eve did bite that apple, and then served it up to her man. We were thrown out of the Garden and this is 'life'. . . your life.
But don't panic! Take heart!
We all have an Extraordinary God, who never leaves us, not for an instant. You are an Ordinary Woman. . . if you wish someone really loved you just the way you are, without you having to 'do' anything spectacular or be wonder woman.
That gift is already yours. The greatest gift of all . . .
Jesus gave His life for each and every one of us. Not because we are ordinary, but because we are God's children. You have 'Unconditional Love and Forgiveness' . . .
Celebrate Life!
Each moment . . Each day . . Each year.
Look around you. Take notice of God's hand at work in your life. He's there. He promised us He would always be there.
Just knowing He is with us makes it perfectly alright to be
Ordinary Women,
because we have an Extraordinary God.
Take a minute from your day and use it to bring this good news to another woman who needs the gift of love. We do that for each other, because,
God first did it for us!
