I haven't written much lately because I've been at a loss of what to write.
You see I have SO much on my mind that all that is coming out even in my conversations lately is rambling. Rambling on in my own mind's language that sometimes I don't even understand.
Plus I'm feeling needy.
And I have been trying to figure out what God wants me to do with what information I've been given.
Information about girls today growing up thinking they are too much to handle, getting out of control and losing hope.
Girls turning to boys and other things like cutting themselves to ease their storm like emotions.
Girls who are nice, naive and beautiful, taken advantage of and left with scars on their soul.
This morning at church I was feeling weighed down by my burdens and therefore needy myself. And very thirsty. The worship was so beautiful and I just sank into it, listening to the words most of the time and meditating on His Holy presence.
The song that really got to me was this one which talks about God being there for us "again and again". And it also says God is everywhere and during that part of the song they showed pictures of all these beautiful places and I'm telling you it was really powerful.
By the end of worship my cup was full and I felt the weightlessness of my burdens lifted.
Then I turned around right afterwards and met some new people. They are moving to the area because they are the new directors of a Christian youth organization. I talked to them for awhile and the conversation turned to how they are setting up programs from scratch and of course they'll be needing help with that. Hmmm...of course the wheels in my mind started turning.
Something to pray about.
Then I took my kids to a local church where they supposedly had a carnival taking place. The "carnival" consisted of one blow up slide and a little bouncy house. Well, my kids actually didn't complain...except Azzie, who is almost 12 and complains about most things, until she starts doing it and forgets that she wasn't supposed to be having fun;)
A familiar face called "Jewel" and I recognized a girl who had been in a teen parents program which I had worked for a few years ago. She had been a teen mother and her beautiful daughter is now 7. She's also married and a stay at home mom, but she's also faced her share of trials, ones that humble me.
I won't go into details about it, but I'll just say they've faced numerous medical issues with her daughter. Things no mother is prepared to face.
She said she missed the teen mom's program and really wishes they had some follow up program. I think she knows about MOPS but I think what she's needing is more than what they offer. Again the wheels were turning.
I am so thankful to see that God has a plan and if I just focus on Him and let Him carry my burdens and drink His Living Water, that's all I need. He can take care of the rest. He will take care of the rest.

Whatever His plan is, I can see it being right up your alley. I'll be praying for what he has in store for you.

You are so right. What a sweet heart you have and God will use that tenderness and caring that you just full of for His purpose. Hang in there sweetie!
Amen, Amen and Amen.... I am excited to see God's plan in all of this it is very interesting and his timing is perfect, I know it is all coming together. I pray that He gives you just what you need, just when you need it...and have I mentioned lately that I miss you. lol. God Bless You Big Bunches.
Yes...we have talked about what to do with the information He gives. I pray for us both to have opportunities an courage to obey. As for all the awesome needs and opportunities springing up around you right now, I am praying for you to have clear, tunnel-like vision for the things that he has for you and for the discernment to let go of those good things that are a distraction from the best! I am truly grateful for your friendship.
