I really feel that when God gives us a message to share, he's going to make us live it out. Otherwise, we're a hypocrite and we're not practicing what we're preaching. So, I feel like the Lord has given me so many opportunities to step away from what culture says I need to be. Or what culture says women need to be to experience this female empowerment.
If we have closed hands, we can't receive from God. We have to open our hands to him to receive what he has for us.
