The
Power
of the Enthusiastic Woman
Buife Nomeh
How do you kickstart your mornings?
What energy do you give off?
How do you describe where your life, relationships, work or
business is at?
Are you satisfied with “securities”?
Have you settled for the status quo?
A
s we go through life, we
encounter several challenges
along the way. They usually
don’t feel like much in the
beginning. But as we grow, it seems
the intensity of the difficulties we face
increases, and their duration extends.
This is when some women feel like
giving up and stop trying at all. You
might think to yourself, “what’s the fuss
about?” I remember trying so hard one
time yet it seemed every turn I took led
me to the same place – nowhere. I felt so
drained and alone. I would wake up both
unappreciative and unsure of the new day.
I stopped getting my hopes up; and began
searching for the easy way out.
Only the ‘easy way out’ wasn’t
God’s way for me. Not that God
wants me to suffer, but hey,
disappointments are a part of life.
Therefore, they are not reasons
enough for us to want to abandon
who and what God has called us
to be and do.
He
never
promised
a
disappointment-free life. He did

He did promise us the healthy and intimate relationship/
marriage we hope for. He did promise us the profitable
business and thriving career we hope for. Though it’s
true that the path may not always be rosy, we have a
promise of God!
If you want to bring God into your space, and keep Him
there, get excited about it. Get excited about your future,
because it is well and beautiful, and God is in it!
Enthusiasm is such a powerful attitude to wield. It
