"How do you define yourself as woman? Are you woman with a vision? Are you a single mother, mother of two, single gal, a married gal. I recently found myself one day as I was driving to work to ask myself of who I am? How do I define myself in life? As, I was hearing the words, “Who am I living for” sang by Katy Perry.... I found the words interesting from a famous singer to sing this song. I am using this song from everyday woman perspective. I can relate a lot to Katy Perry as she sings this song."
"It's never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the frontline when the bombs start to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name
I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?
I can feel this light that's inside of me
Growing fast into a bolt of lightning
I know one spark will shock the world, yeah yeah
So I pray for a favour like Esther
I need your strength to handle the pressure
I know there will be sacrifice
But that's the price"
"To be called it not easy... front lines or behind the scenes. There are pressures of life. Life happens. There are many sacrifices that are made in your everyday job, your family life, in your ministry, in your school or even as mother, or single gal, from divorce or a break up. We all feel the pressures of life as woman. How do you define yourself? Are you positive with your life or depressed? Do you live your life as if it is your last day?"
"It's never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the frontline when the bombs start to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name"
"Some of us are chosen to live a separate life from the world? I see myself so different. One night, I found myself from the crowds of people in this dance club. I watched the people from the distance unhappy, unsecure, a gal who wants to be loved from a guy, trying to find the right guy. I told myself... I am woman who is precious and different from the crowd. I am woman who is defining with love. I am woman who is there for others who are hurting. I have destiny and purpose in life that is more than about me."
"I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?
"I like the words she uses in this song... Who am I living for? Are you living for yourself or your living for the Lord’s standards?"
I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the eh-end of it all
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am I living for?
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down, oh, oh yeah
Don’t let yourself be down but live your life as great one.
I like the end of this song. Don’t let your greatness down. Don’t let yourself be down when there are pressures of life. Your life is great one.

Life of Esther
"When the fateful day arrived, the Jews overcame their enemies (Esther 9:1-11
). To express their thanks to God, the Jews instituted the Feast of Purim. The name of this feast is a reminder of Haman's casting of lots ( pur means "lot") and God's deliverance of the Jews from their enemies on the day they were to be annihilated (verses 17-32).

Esther, Jewish queen of gentile Persia, set a remarkable example of personal sacrifice. Although understandably at first hesitant, she willingly risked her life so others could be saved. In this respect she prefigured the sacrifice of the coming Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, who willingly gave His life so each of us could have the opportunity to receive God's gift of salvation, eternal life in His Kingdom.
Similarly, Christ expects His followers, His saints, to be willing to put their lives on the line to follow Him (John 15:13
)."

Another verse to check from the Bible:
Luke 12:22-34
"Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
