Go Forth and Be Fierce

I hope your Mother’s Day was amazing. I had a great Mother’s Day despite all the crazy things happening in the world. My kids called me throughout the day and even though I couldn’t give my granddaughters a hug, I loved seeing them.

I want to share something God has put on my heart. Many moms are working from home and also homeschooling their kids. Lately, I am feeling that moms are growing weary and Summer hasn’t even started. We need each other.

When you take care of yourself

you will have the energy to take care of others. Taking care of yourself is less about being pampered but more about fierceness, obedience, and courage. I believe fierce women have a strength that goes beyond themselves.

Go forth and be fierce. What does that even mean?

Esther was fierce and beautiful. She was thrust into the kingdom by her cousin Mordecai. Esther soon became Queen of Vashti and risked her life to save her people. (Esther 4-8).

Fierce is the new beautiful

Who’s ready? Esther was beautiful, wise, a warrior, and filled with loving-kindness. Life is hard and we can’t get through it without the grace of God. I could have never made it through the storms of my life without Jesus!

Only Jesus

can make you fierce? Start with changing your focus. Start your day with a prayer. Ask God to help you throughout the day. When I start my day with God, my day is a whole lot better. Find a great book or devotional, and then dive in. Sometimes it is better to study one scripture at a time then to study the whole chapter. I am reading a study of Colossians by Joyce Meyer.

To be fierce you must have the right tools in your toolbox. Esther had the right tools in her toolbox (Esther 4-7). She wasn’t just beautiful, she was fierce. Begin today by studying the scriptures and filling up with Godly confidence.
