 "It's not enough for me to simply make a difference for Christ, but rather an impact." Traci M. Alexander 
It is funny how the silly tales by Lewis Carroll have become world famous, while the serious works of Reverend Dodgson are almost unknown! When the Reverend wasn't making up nonsense tales for little girls, he spent his time as a college professor writing and developing serious books on mathematics while Lewis Carroll became his pen name. When I was a little girl, I was delighted by Lewis Carroll's enchanted fantasy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However, it wasn't until my thirties that I could appreciate his writings. In his writings, Alice asked, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the cat. "I don't much care where-" said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," -so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. I've found myself asking the same question, "Which way I ought to go from here" often to settle with "so long as I get somewhere." Is this just a mere fable? Or, does it often become a part of life's story? As women we find ourselves Balancing Life's Demands with the scales tilted in the direction of being a daughter, wife, mother, sister, colleague, associate, friend, neighbor or care-giver. Similar to Reverend Dodgson, our identity transforms us into individuals more famous or popular than who God created us to be. Sadly, we leave behind the same kind of unknown legacy with few ever knowing our true identity. I believe God created us to be a generation of godly women who impact the world. We CAN Balance Life's Demands while at the same time leave behind a godly legacy. This is my heart's cry and reason for creating this ministry. |
