Refresh Ministry Women

Have you ever looked back and realized just how faithful God was? Sometimes we don't see it in the moment, but looking back, we can see how He was working all along. It's easy to get so focused on what's ahead that we forget what He's already brought us through.

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:2

Refresh Moment: Whatever you're facing today, take a minute to remember what God has already done. He's been faithful before, and He'll be faithful again!

Sometimes the quickest way to find joy is to remember what God has already done.When life feels overwhelming or things aren't going quite as planned, it's easy to focus on what's wrong instead of remembering all the ways God has been faithful.

Philippians 4:4 reminds us, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”

Joy isn't dependent on everything going right. It's rooted in knowing that God is good, He is faithful, and He hasn't changed.

Refresh Moment: Take a few minutes to remember something God has brought you through, a prayer He's answered, or a way He's provided.
Sometimes remembering His faithfulness yesterday is exactly what we need to trust Him with today.

We know, we know - it is a CRAZY time of year and you're a busy lady leader. But we promise you will not regret making time to be at One Day Conf with the Network of Women Ministers.

Sometimes the biggest battles we face aren't the things happening around us, but the things going on inside our own minds.
The worries, the doubts, the overthinking, the conversations we keep replaying, and the things we allow ourselves to carry that God never intended for us to hold on to.
It's easy to let our thoughts get the best of us. But we don't have to let them take over.We can invite the Holy Spirit into those places, too. We can ask Him to quiet the noise, give us clarity, and remind us of what's true.

Refresh Moment: Take a minute today and pay attention to what's been filling your mind. Is it bringing you peace or stealing it? Invite the Holy Spirit into those thoughts and allow Him to replace the worry with His peace.

If you've been in ministry for more than five minutes, you know there are some things you just can't make up!

Ministry is full of surprises, and sometimes you've just gotta laugh and keep going!

Refresh Moment: Let's have a little fun!
Finish this sentence in the comments: "You know you're in ministry when __________."

Sometimes the most powerful thing a leader can do is notice.

Notice the person who always shows up early, the volunteer who serves without recognition, the woman who seems a little quieter than usual, or the person who's growing, even if their progress seems small.

Jesus noticed the overlooked, stopped for the hurting, and made people feel seen, even in the middle of a crowd. And we have the opportunity to do the same.

Refresh Moment: Identify one person who could use some encouragement. Send a text, make a call, or simply tell them what you appreciate about them.

Don't miss the good while you're busy doing the work.
There's always something next in ministry. Another Sunday, another event, another need to meet.

And sometimes we're so focused on what's ahead that we miss what God is doing right in front of us.
The prayer that was answered.
The volunteer who stepped up.
The life that's being changed.

Those moments matter! Don't get so busy preparing for what's next that you forget to celebrate what God is doing NOW.

Refresh Moment: Take a minute today to recognize three good things God is doing in your life or ministry. Share one with someone else!

We all have those little things that can instantly make a day better!

Maybe it's your favorite coffee, a good laugh with a friend, finding a great deal, or an unexpected afternoon with absolutely nothing on the calendar!

Let's hear it! What's one little thing that always makes you smile?

Don't get so busy with everything that needs to be done that you miss the little joys God places in your day. Find something to smile about today… and maybe be the reason someone else smiles, too!
