“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness’!” Matthew 25:21

Extraordinary women are faithful in the small things, and that enables God to entrust more to them as they mature and grow in their faith. When we are young women God uses us in small ways. If we are faithful to follow and do his will, he will entrust us to greater goals and achievements, far beyond what we can imagine.

When I was growing up in Montana, I never dreamed God had plans for me to be serving Him the way I am-as president of Extraordinary Women. Standing in front of audiences always unnerved me. It still does. But I’ve learned that God’s dream for my life did not exactly match mine. I’m still amazed when I consider the way God blesses this ministry and empowers me to lead the team of wonderful people who make it all happen. God’s dream for me was certainly bigger than the one I had for myself!

Listen carefully to God’s voice leading you. Be faithful and follow. He will take your dreams far beyond what you could have ever imagined!

Prayer
Holy Father. I want to be obedient to your voice and to follow where you lead. Help me to be faithful in the tasks you require of me—both small and great. Test me to see that I am truly worthy of the greater work you have in store for me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
