Rachelle over at Seek First His Kingdom is looking for stories about women for a book she is writing. Why not pop over for a visit and see if you have something you might want to submit?
Here’s a snippet from her post:
Falling Forward
Most of us remember, as young girls, singing, “Ashes, ashes, we ALL fall down.”As
grown women all too familiar with faltering, stumbling and falling, we
might hear that song in our heads and think, “Ain’t it the truth!”Christian
women are not immune to failure. At times, we’re vulnerable to falling
down a variety rabbit holes, and landing ourselves in
Not-So-Wonderlands.What’s your rabbit hole? For some it is
depression or despair. For others it is falling into discontent or
restlessness. Sometimes we fall into hopelessness or grief. We are all
susceptible to discouragement and feelings of unworthiness.Other
times we fall into sin. The pressures of our lives mount up and we fall
into addictions to numb our pain: overeating, alcohol, drugs. Our
desire to be loved and cherished can cause a fall into relational or
sexual sin. Success in life can lead us to fall into pride. Then
there’s shopaholism, jealousy, gossip, anger—need I go on? You get the
picture. Even the best fall down sometimes.And when we do—what’s next?
We all learn from others in the body of Christ. Perhaps your story can lift and encourage your sister.
