Last weekend Heather Palacios gave a sermon at Flamingo Road Church on the importance of doing things today that blew me away, and several others around the world. Then a group of women who were moved and inspired by her on staff at FRC threw a surprise party in honor the amazing work God had done through her that weekend. She was so surprised and touched that she was loved and appreciated not only by God for being His tool, but by her fellow peers.
Last night I had the honor of being the day of wedding coordinator for a friend that I hold dear to my heart as a role model of a beautiful woman with extraordinary faith, love, and strength (among other traits). While waiting for her cue to start her walk down the aisle and while listing to worship music, amongst all the hustle a bustle that was going on around her, she stopped and sang worship to her God. She was standing there in her wedding dress, about to be married, and she stood there with her hands raised, her eyes closed, and worshiping the God who has blessed her with a wonderful life because of her faith and obedience.
These women are the perfect picture of the woman I want to be in Christ, a tool for God to use to bless others. God is amazing on His own, He in no way needs us, but because He loves us He honors and blesses us as tools in His plans for His earth. God is awesome and woman, created for His own devices, is an awesome specimen of Faith, Love, Hope, Strength, Perseverance, and Wonder of what God has planed for us on earth.
