"Ladies, don't tell me how busy you are because I know. I'm busy too. We all are, and I just think sometimes, all this activity—God would rather have a lot less of it and just more of us.
You know what? I find I have to be ruthless with my schedule. There are people I can't meet with. There are people I can't see. There are letters I can't write. There are places I can't go. There are speaking engagements I can't take.
Now, I'm not saying I never do any of those things, but I have to limit those things. Sometimes people don't understand why I'm not doing more things, why I'm not more social.
You know what? It's because I've decided that in this life I want to be getting ready to meet God, and that means I want to be listening to Him. That takes time.
You've got to make time. It's not just going to happen in your schedule. You've got to carve out the time. Set it apart. Set it aside.
Go to your watchpost. Go to your tower. Look out to see what God will say to you, and in His way, and in God's time, He will answer you."

A Sad Cycle
Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Over and over again I've seen a destructive cycle
that leads women into bondage. First, a lie is planted in our mind.
"When I was six, I don't remember who said it, but I was told that I
had no right to be born."
Nancy: Instead of countering the lie with the truth of God's Word, we
dwell on it and start to believe it.
"I thought I was stupid--that I wasn't normal."
Nancy: Eventually we act on the lie . . .
"I withdrew and had a really hard time talking with people."
Nancy: . . .and we find ourselves in bondage.
"I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up."
Nancy: Now, here's the truth. When God sent Jesus to this earth to
bear your sin, He declared the value of your soul to be greater than
the value of the whole world. First John says, "How great is the love
the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of
God!"
And that's the truth.
