“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).
I grew up attending meetings with my mom and both grandmas, who were leaders in local, district and state WAC. I can’t begin to count how many times my grandma told me, “One day you’ll be doing all this.”
“No, Grandma, not me. I won’t have time for that when I’m out of school,” was my reply every time. Just like Isaiah 55:8 says, my ways are not God’s ways; and my ways weren’t Grandma’s ways, either.
Long story short, Grandma was right. Contrary to my plans, my life went in a totally different direction—and that direction was paved in purple and guided by the letters WAC. Now WAC is my ministry. I serve as president of Ohio WAC, Prayer, Mission and Study chairman for Central Ohio District WAC, and President of Reynoldsburg WAC. I also am the writer of the Somethings column in Treasure, WNAC’s quarterly publication.
WNAC means everything to me. It’s a place for me to learn from my grandma and mom’s generations, like Titus 2 instructs. It’s an opportunity to lead by example—guiding teenage and younger girls. It’s a place to develop friendships with women of all ages from all over the country. Most of all, it is a beautiful organization that allows me to work hand in hand with women I may never meet down here on Earth, but women who together seek to follow and fulfill the command of the Great Commission.
PRAY TOGETHER: Pray for WNAC Executive Director Elizabeth Hodges as she speaks at the Illinois WAC Meeting today.
