Week 5 · This Week
“Don’t Grow Weary — Your Yes Still Matters”
Scripture for the Week
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
— Galatians 6:9 KJV
Dear LMF Summit Team,
We are now 53 days away from the 2026 Love Me First Women’s Summit.
As we move closer, I understand that many of us are carrying responsibilities and personal challenges beyond this Summit. We are wives, mothers, caregivers, leaders, businesswomen, ministry workers, and so much more. Life does not pause simply because we have been given an assignment.
I understand what it means to carry a vision while also carrying personal battles. Yet I have learned that God does not require perfection from us — He asks for faithfulness.
This week, I want to remind you: your yes still matters.
The Vision Needs Our Commitment
There is a difference between being connected to a vision and actively helping to carry it. A vision moves forward when everyone brings what they have and faithfully does their part.
Your contribution does not have to look like anyone else’s. You may not have the same time, resources, personality, or ability as another team member — but what God has placed in your hands is valuable.
A shared post matters.
An invitation matters.
A completed assignment matters.
A purchased ticket matters.
A prayer matters.
An honest conversation about where you need help matters.
No role is insignificant, and no sincere act of service is wasted.
Remember Why We Said Yes
This Summit is not only about filling seats. It is about reaching the woman who has poured into everyone else while quietly becoming empty herself.
We are preparing a place where women can heal from what has been broken, rediscover their God-given identity, experience genuine sisterhood, walk boldly in purpose, and begin building a new generational legacy.
A woman may enter the Summit carrying shame and leave knowing she is worthy.
She may arrive feeling alone and leave connected to a sisterhood.
She may come uncertain about her purpose and leave ready to obey God.
That is why we cannot grow weary in doing well.
A Word From My Heart
Ladies, commitment does not mean pretending everything is fine. Commitment means communicating when it isn’t.
If you are overwhelmed, please speak up.
If you need clarity, ask.
If you need support, allow the team to support you.
If you have not yet completed an assignment, recommit and take the next step.
This is not a call for guilt. It is a call for renewed agreement. We are one team, and we need one another.
I value each of you — not simply for what you can do, but for who you are and what you bring to this vision. Your gifts, prayers, experiences, relationships, and presence are important.
Let’s remember what brought us together. Let’s renew our yes and continue moving forward with honesty, grace, and determination.
Our Spiritual Focus This Week
Take a few quiet moments and ask God:
“Lord, what is the one thing You need me to faithfully complete this week?”
Write it down, pray over it, and take one clear step toward completing it. If something is preventing you from moving forward, communicate it so we can find a solution together.
This Week's Declaration
Say this out loud:
“My yes still matters.
I will not grow weary in doing what God has called me to do.
I release guilt, fear, frustration, and discouragement.
I choose honesty, faithfulness, and renewed commitment.
My gifts are valuable, my presence is important, and my service has purpose.
I will complete what is in my hands and communicate when I need support.
I believe women will heal, identities will be restored, purposes will be awakened, and generations will be changed.
We are preparing the room for women we haven’t even met yet.
I will not faint before the harvest.”
Ladies, the vision is still alive. The assignment is still important. And God is still faithful.
Thank you for every prayer, every sacrifice, every completed task, and every renewed yes. Let’s keep building together.
With love, purpose & expectation,
LaShawn Allen-Talbert
