10 Keys to Living your God-Inspired Dreams-
Bible Study for Women

“Do not grow weary in well doing, for at the proper time you shall reap.” These were the words that awoke me from a dead sleep at the crack of dawn that early October morning in 2004. The voice was so clear it sounded almost audible, but I knew it wasn’t. I also knew it wasn’t my voice but the voice of God! An unmistakable promise was delivered from the throne room of heaven, a promise that still touches a deep place in my soul to this very day. |
At the time, I had no idea of the implications this Word held for my life and how it would prove to be an anchor for my soul in the days that followed. A time when the enemy would seek to rip from the very fabric of my life the dreams and hopes I held in my heart for my marriage, my family and my calling. Using every available means, the enemy would deal me a hand that spelled certain destruction. But God (one of the sweetest word combinations in our vocabulary) had a Master plan for a masterpiece. His promise spoken clearly to me that early Fall morning was an invitation to “believe.” This promise comes from Galatians 6:9.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
The actual verse adds one small condition, “if we faint not” or in other words if we don’t give up! "You are a Woman of Destiny" is about not giving up! Believing God for the fulfillment of your God-inspired, God- authored dreams no matter how impossible, unlikely or ridiculous they may seem.

Can I let you in on a little secret? Every moment of every day I carry a giant-sized dream in my heart! I can trace it back to an encounter I had over fifteen years ago. A surreal moment in time, when I was traveling home from a 3-day woman’s retreat. It was there on my drive home alone, as I was worshipping God for a beautiful weekend, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper something magnetic to my heart that awoke a dormant desire. Something that caught me completely off-guard yet invigorated me with wide-eyed wonder! This simple whisper gave me a sense of a unique yet grand and glorious purpose! Initially, I thought it was too good to be true, too much to hope for, you know; ridiculous! Not that the Holy Spirit was ridiculous, just my interpretation of what had been communicated. But I have since come to realize that my limited ability to envision what God desires to accomplish in a lifetime is what’s ridiculous.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:20-21
