We also talk about the POWER OF PLODDING. Much of life consists of plodding on each day but plodding brings rewards. Proverbs 21:5 (TLB) says: “STEADY PLODDING brings prosperity. We don’t plod around in circles. We plod purposefully—understanding who God created us to be and walking in God’s divine purpose for us. When we know our purpose, we can make drudgery into delight and the mundane into miracles. We turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. We change grumbling to glory. 
 
Here is A MOTHER’S CREED for you to begin the New Year:
“I am not languishing. I am not deceived. I have a vision. I know who I am and who God created me to be. I know my purpose. I am walking in the perfect will of God. I know it’s not easy, but I’ve counted the cost. My goal is set. How could my career be easy when I am influencing a nation for God, generations to come--and eternity? How can it be easy when I am destroying the plans of the devil? Such is the power of my God-mandated career, the highest calling ever given to women—motherhood. I have embraced my calling. I am not intimidated by my antagonists. I will not be moved. My heart is fixed. I may be hidden in my home but look out world! I am sharpening my arrows. I am getting them ready to shoot forth and destroy the adversary. In the power and anointing of God, I am advancing God’s Kingdom.”
