I have now officially entered the empty nest stage of life. For many women including myself, this can be kind of scary. We’ve devoted our lives to caring for children. Sometimes, we’ve left very little time for ourselves. It’s a time when we may start asking, “What do we do now?”
I’ve heard some women even express feelings of being irrelevant at this stage in their lives. First if you are feeling this way, I want you to know just how important you still are! Your story and expertise are still needed just as much as ever. God is not done with you yet!
After all when God first created you in your mother’s womb, He had great plans for your entire life including the empty nest stage. He saw every detail and every moment of your life. Yes, he knew you would be a mama but also a much needed wife, friend, worker, and warrior for His kingdom. He has prepared good works for you to do in advance of this life stage too!
Focus on Him and He will provide you direction for what’s next. You are His handiwork and never anything less.
