Women’s Devotional: Reinvention

Author: Sherry Schneider

What do you think of when you hear the word, reinvention?

Here were my first (second and third) thoughts:

1) You are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

2) The Kingdom of Heaven is within you (Luke 17:21).

3) You can do all things through God. His power is strongest in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Summation: If you are a Christ-follower, your life has already been reinvented. You are whole, you are complete, and you are perfect in the eyes of the Lord. You have only to claim who you are created to be and walk in your calling!

I asked Sherry if I could post her notes from the talk she gave at SHE LEADS – HER VOICE (Her-Voice.org) titled: Reinvention…You! Sherry’s questions for us are in bold and the answers are in italics. Thank you Sherry!

Enjoy!

Reinvention . . . You!

2. Why reinvent? Who should reinvent?

• Why: If you feel stuck, stagnant, not making forward progress, lacking in personal growth – Reinvention is for you.
• Who: Anyone! If you are looking for a second chance, a second act, an encore, or, want to grow in a new undiscovered area of your life, Reinvention is for you.

3. What is the most important reason to know your strengths? When your strengths are overextended,

• They become my greatest weakness!

• What does Habakkuk 2:2 state? Write the vision down, write it plain on tablets. Studies show that only 3% actually set goals and only 1% write them down!
• How does a coach help in this process? A Coach helps you establish the steps & process to attain the goal ahead of you. Braking things down to bite-size manageable pieces.
