For the month of May, I want to encourage and equip you, but I also want to make you an offer. I recently sat with someone over a topic not related to Still the Mom. As we were together, I was silently asking the Lord who had He created this person to be? What were the gifts hidden in his heart that had been deposited by Holy Spirit?
God was faithful to quickly answer and I was able to speak over this precious man, the gift of God in his life. He was perhaps a little surprised, but a smile spread across his face as Holy Spirit in me connected with Holy Spirit in him and breathed life on his God-design. As we parted, I encouraged him to research and study the gifting God had revealed. I believe he will do that.
What about you? Are you aware of the design and purpose God has placed within you? What are the activities you enjoy? That is a good indicator toward finding some clues to solve the mystery of your wiring.
From a young age, I knew I enjoyed art and music. I loved to draw, and I enjoyed playing the piano. As I grew older, I explored different art mediums and I also learned I enjoyed singing. These are some of my gifts and are part of my God-design.
When I had children, God began to speak to me about teaching them at home. That was foreign and odd to me because I didn’t start out wanting children, and now here I was being asked to home school. As we added to our family, I became the ultimate stay-at-home mom and ended up dedicating my life to their training and care.
Fast forward twenty-three years, when my last daughter graduated from high school. I began asking God what was next for me? I clearly heard Him tell me that He still wanted me to be a stay-at-home mom. That didn’t make sense to me though because all my children were grown and leaving home. However, I am used to hearing God’s voice, so I committed myself to the next season. That was almost nine years ago and I’m still exploring what it means to be Still the Mom as God has spoken.
My God-design is to encourage you, inspire you, help you explore your God-design, and equip you to run. Here’s where my offer comes in. I would love to give you a free thirty-minute Zoom call with me where we explore together the beginnings of who God created you to be. We may find one thing among many, but I believe God will honor our time and show up so that you can walk away with something to hold on to and further explore.
Then, should you find value in our time together, I am offering private sessions of equipping and activating you into your gifts and calling. These will be done by Zoom and we can meet as often as you would like; weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
To claim your free session, please send an email to maria@stillthemom.com and let me know you’re interested in signing up for the free thirty-minute session! I’m excited to meet with you and begin (or continue) the journey of finding the mystery God has placed within your heart!
