Rhonda says she felt God's call on her life from a young age: "I was a little girl, and God put a call on my heart to follow Jesus. I remember having a nudge to be a missionary, and I was like, I don't know what that looks like, but I'm gonna say yes, but I'm scared to death. I had no idea what God was calling me to, and the life that He's called me to is so divinely orchestrated for who I am."

If you are in need of encouragement for your role as a parent, spouse, grandparent, or just as a child of God trying to live out His call on your life, we hope you check out Rhonda's articles and are reminded of the Lord's love for you and His ability to do far more than you can imagine.

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure."
