called to be a living sacrifice to god. (Romans 12:1,2)
commissioned to be pure and blameless in the sight of God and man. (Philippians 1:10)
Petitioned as a disciple of jesus to go and preach
the gospel to every nation, baptizing them and
teaching them (Matthew 28:19,20) how to rightly divide gods inspired word. (2 Timothy 2:15)
Recognizing that god will make everything
Beautiful in his own time. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Understanding that god knows more than I do (Isaiah 55:8) and managing my time on this earth accordingly.
Finally, I will remember that I have been created for this exact moment in history (Esther 4:14) and live every moment as though it were my last.
My mission statement is simple and concise, pulled directly from the Bible and still extremely relevant for today. Not only have I not lived up to this standard but I have failed miserably for years. I have forgotten what it means to live selflessly and am lost when it comes to realizing God's calling in my life. My dreams and aspirations have fallen by the wayside as I have spent time living…. "LIFE". You know exactly what I mean when I say "life". The perfect boyfriend (Who didn’t end up being so perfect), the glamorous job (That took up all my available time), the partying, the money (Still was never enough), basically everything the world tells me I need to be happy. But the truth is I have never been so unhappy. The majority of the time I forget how to smile, I forget the small things that make life worth living. I forget God, family, friends, trees, children, the small things that make life truly a life worth living.
I want you to know who you are. I want you to know who you are in God. I want you to find your identity in only what God says about you. I want you to fall in love with the God who created you. I want you to learn to love as God loves.
This is blog to give young women hope in a world that expects you to be so much more than you have the ability to be. I want you to know the love I have for each and every one of you but more importantly I want you to know the love God has for you.
I have spent the majority of my life striving to be something beautiful in the eyes of the people around me yet just recently have a come to realize that God already thinks I am beautifully and wonderfully made. I am the complete package in God's eyes. The love I have found in him is so much more than I have ever felt from any other human being in my entire life so far and I want to have the opportunity to share it with all of you! I will be posting a new blog each day for encouragement and things to think about.
