					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://melanieredd.com/how-do-i-know-what-god-is-calling-me-to-do/#comment-16656&quot;&gt;Michele Kelsey&lt;/a&gt;.

Hey Michele,
It&#039;s so great to hear from you! 
I love that you are blogging and writing! Way to go!
It&#039;s so fun to see how God uses our lives and our gifts.

My top suggestions for staying focused:
1. Start the day with Jesus and check in with Him a lot.
2. Make a list and really try to stick with it each day.
3. Only answer emails once per day.
4. Try to only focus on 2-3 social media channels. You can&#039;t do them all well.
5. Overlap, re-use, and share on the same topic as often as possible. Don&#039;t reinvent the wheel every time. For example, reshare your best posts every year. Wriite a few new ones, and renovate and reuse the best ones!
6. Realize blogging is a marathon, not a sprint!

Hope this helps!
Blessings,
Melanie]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What you said is so true! Thank you for sharing. I struggled when I began my new website https://sharinglifeandlove.com/ and my new writing business, not knowing what my calling was. I like the examples you shared. They are so helpful! I simply read a scripture one day that encouraged me to spread the Word of God rather than talk about other things on my blog, and I feel now that it&#039;s more of my calling. It&#039;s still sometimes hard to hear God over the clutter and noise of life. What suggestions do you have for juggling it all? Again, thanks for sharing! All the Best, Michele]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The role of a wife, mother and an aged women is found In Titus to 1 Peter 3:1-6 

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

1 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.



Colossians 3:18 - Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Divorce is never an option, so young woman, choose your spouse wisely

Luke 16:18 - Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.


Mark 10:12 - And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Gods&#039; word never changes, it is the same yesterday today and forever.  He said that in Genesis 2, and said that again in the New testament.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This was wonderful! So affirming and encouraging. I particularly liked, &quot;if we are committed to following Him, we will step out on faith and confidence that whatever He asks us to do, He will equip us with what we need to be effective.&quot; So thankful that this is the case.

Hi Don.
It was a previledge to go systematically through this teaching to understand about gifts and calling and to know how we will know what the specific calling or gift is for each one of us. It was very good to better understand God&#039;s calling and the requirement thereto as a  follower and worshipper of Jesus Christ. I&#039;m equipped with knowledge that I will be able to share with my fellow bretern as I at the end asked God to give me an audience to teach His word because many of us are struggling with this subject/area as born again children of God.
Thank you for the seed and may God continue to bless you and your families in spreading the truth.
Amen.]]></description>
