As Christian women, we wear many hats and carry a variety of responsibilities based on our calling and season of life. 

No matter what we are doing, we are certainly busy and, let’s be honest, we struggle to balance our activities well while also staying rested, fueled and ready to pour out.

How can we effectively love where we are if we are uncertain of our calling?

What if we are just too tired and weary and don't know where to start?

How can we keep a healthy balance between doing and resting?

Joining me on the show today is author, speaker and life coach, Courtnaye Richard.

Courtnaye Richard is the founder of Inside Out with Courtnaye, a ministry that helps women grow in Christ, while equipping them for their calling. She is an author, contributing writer for ibelieve.com and YouVersion. Her blog, Inside Out with Courtnaye reaches thousands of women across the globe!

In today’s conversation we are going to answer these questions and dive into:

• Partnering with the Lord in all of our endeavors
• How to identify our calling
• Taking a “day-cay”
• The importance of being present

This was such an encouraging conversation and I am excited to have you tuning in today!

FAVORITE TAKEAWAYS:

Make spending time with God non-negotiable

Take your rest and get ready to get up because you’ve got work to do

Be about the Father’s business

Ways to rest:

• Take a break from social media
• Read
• Rest your body

When you are refreshed you are ready to refresh others

What can we do together, Lord?

Jesus - I came to do the will of my Father

Do what you can where you are

Be present where you are and grow where you are

Cultivate your gifts

Take the time to prepare for the next season God has for you

Know your season and rock the season you are in!

If we despise the season we are in we are not going to experience the growth God wants for us

How to identify your calling:

What are you passionate about?

What gets you up in the morning?

What keeps you up at night?

What are you passionate about and get to it!

We don’t want to do what we want to do, we want to do what He’s calling me to do

Some things God calls us to are exciting and some things are hard

Pray

Begin studying

God is faithful to give you whatever you need to carry out what He’s calling you to do

Go on a day-cay!

Love the people in front of you
