Women Who Inspire Greatness
By Noel Miller
Over the past few years, the Lord has placed a certain scripture on my heart that has helped me grow in my walk with Him. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
We can surround ourselves with people who will help us sharpen who we are in Him. These people can be close to us in proximity or they can be people we look up from a far.
Following is a list of five women who have inspired me both near and far, in no particular order. I encourage you to check them out on Facebook or any other social media outlet.
1. My MawMaw: Her pure heart for Jesus and faith in everyday things makes me want to have pure motives in everything I do. Not to mention she is EXTREMELY sassy! (Sorry, she doesn’t have Facebook!)
2. Christine Caine: The work she does in the field of human trafficking is so inspiring and to see how God has used her to make such a big impact.
3. Monique Shaw: Another woman who, on a smaller scale but with great impact, is changing a Red Light District in the city of Kolkata through jewelry and prayer.
4. All the women on Pinterest: The time and dedication to make things look cool is so inspiring!
5. Tammy Cole: She believes in me more that I do myself!
6. Julia A’Bell: I listen to her podcast on Hillsong Sisterhood all the time. She is a great communicator and I love her passion for God!
These are just a few of the women that influence and inspire me!
What does it look like when thousands of students give their all to God in worship? Noel Miller gives us a glimpse of this year’s Youth Convention.
A team of women from Life Church recently went on a missions trip to Kolkata, India, to work with a ministry called At the Well, which helps women and children in one of India’s largest red light districts. The team worked with At the Well to help the women and children get into educational facilities, and learn how to make jewelry which can be sold to buy their freedom from life in the brothels, and also provide an alternate source of income on which they can live. Here’s a glimpse of their trip.
Why Your “Drops” of Prayer are Still Powerful
By Noel Miller
I recently read a quote from Mother Teresa that put a lot of perspective on a situation that I am currently walking through with an unsaved love one. “We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
I had found myself a little discouraged in constantly showing love and grace to this friend, and had to keep reminding myself that she is on a journey. Then I stumbled upon the quote from Mother Teresa and it reminded me of Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
We must remember to press on in prayer, trusting the Creator of the universe that while the “drop” of prayer may seem small to us, one day we will see a harvest. We will see the love ones that we are so desperately praying for come to faith in God. We may not see it now, but an ocean is forming. Keep the faith because the harvest is coming!
