She talked about her life and how she was perfectly content with where she is and what she is doing. She wasn't asking for anything more in her life because God had already blessed her with so many things. She has passion and ambitions. It's amazing.
At the same time that conversation was taking place our best friend was packing to move to Mexico for 8 months to work in an orphanage. It's so incredibly amazing. She is giving up so much of her time for others and to work for God. She is such an incredible woman of God.
Than I took a look at myself. I have come so far in the past few years. I look at the 16 year olds in the Bible study I run and think "Whoa." A lot has changed since I was 16. I have standards and convictions and a true relationship with God. I test myself and push myself so I can get closer to fulfilling my life's purpose, whatever that may be. I seem to have turned into a woman of God.
When did all of this happen? When did we turn from 3 goofy girls to 3 strong, women of God? We still goof around and have our fun, but when did we become adults? Since when did we grow up? We are women. I think it's funny how I missed it happen. I missed us change from girls to women, but we are now. Full fledged Women of God. Man, He really is good isn't He? Amen.
Some things never change :) Love them.
Song of the Moment: Stop (You've Only Got One Heart) by Greg Sczebel (1. He was in the concert we were driving home from. 2. I bought his CDs while at the concert. 3. This is definitely my favourite song on that album!)
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in faith, in life, in love and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
