The mission of The Sage Forum is to encourage, equip, and empower women over 40 to mature in faith and grow in wisdom. We send out a newsletter at the beginning of each month focusing on a different theme relevant to women in the second half of life. In February, we’ll be talking about books that have inspired, frustrated, shaped, and delighted us. We’re looking forward to hearing from you on this topic.
Really good word highlight here Afton. Like you, I often turn to this passage from 2 Chronicles. It is so good as it grounds me firmly in my true condition of utter dependency on our God who can do more for me in a moment than I could do in a lifetime. Paradoxically - this stance of deep dependency is one that is feeling ever more spacious and freeing to my soul.
oh this is so true. how much did we miss along the way because we hunkered down in isolation, preferring our own miserable company instead of humbling ourselves and reaching out those who'd already proven to be safe, gracious, and kind.
So true, Afton. As I’ve grown in age and maturity, I realize the benefit - necessity - of living with a WE mindset. Thank you for reminding me!
