Daughters of Promise Winter 2016 | Page 9

a new thing You’ll notice that, beginning with this issue, Daughters of Promise is divided into new categories. Our goal is to address the significant areas of a woman’s life, equipping her for holistically healthy living. We have selected six categories and are pleased to introduce them below. BELOVED Who is God? Who are we through Christ? Our lives flow from these questions. BELOVED explores the spiritual dimension of life, turning our hearts toward Jesus and His Word in order to walk in freedom. AT T E N D Women are intrinsically relational and wired to nurture. To attend is to take care of, minister to, watch over, devote their services to, and accompany. ATTEND offers perspective on relationship roles, whether those of companionship, authority, or responsibility. EXPLORE Learning is a lifelong process. EXPLORE is a place for learning through information and reputable research, and discussion of topics such as science, literature, travel, and the physical world. C R E AT E Made in the image of Creator God, our love for creating beauty comes from Him. In CREATE, you will find hands-on activities and projects, recipes, and articles designed to celebrate this aspect of woman’s identity. ENDEAVOR Rather than relating to work as a curse of the fall, ENDEAVOR honors it as a God- ordained commission. Here you’ll find inspiration for a diligent, purposeful life, whether as a homemaker, factory worker, or small business owner. This section includes practical tips, essays, and work-related interviews with women. THRIVE Life involves a lot of doing. In the busyness of outward motion, it can be difficult to maintain inner health. THRIVE is dedicated to the quieter, contemplative practices that nurture the soul: restful art and poetry, inspirational articles, and healthy life habits. BELOVED | 7
