YAY ME!!!!!
I’m involved with a mother-daughter mentoring group, which has allowed me to influence a lot of younger girls. I’m the oldest of the bunch and as I grow older, naturally, the other girls do as well. As I talk to the girls, we talk about boys, school, drama, etc…normal girl stuff. The more I talked to these beautiful young women, the more my heart broke.
These girls are literally trapped by a society of images, media, and shallowness telling them that they have to be a certain way. They cared more about “sparking up” and “booking dudes” than about pleasing God, and they were NOT that way when I met them.
The thing that hurt me the most, was the girl’s disappointment when they found out that I was single, willingly being that way until God tells me otherwise. They seemed to be so unfamiliar with the concept of waiting for God’s voice and the sacred”ness” that comes with a healthy, productive relationship. The girls continued to ask me questions about college, my future, marriage, etc…and they were so taken aback by my responses. I realized that a life totally dependent on God was no longer common, and that my desperate need for God was crazy to them.
It makes me sad, that our world has separated itself so FAR from God, to the point where God is almost like a stranger that people have never met. I know that wasn’t God’s intent, He adores us. HE THINKS WE’RE WORTH DYING FOR. The more I thought about it, the more I hurt. I strongly believe that God allows me to get glimpses of His heart for mankind, and the more I see, the more I hurt.
Those girls are products of a dead generation, a people that need God; they’re like my little sisters, and I’m worried about them.
Forever Alone? I’ll never be, I have the Creator of the universe at my side by all times, but those girls…I’m afraid, they’ll forever be alone…
Will you pray with me?
OMGEEEEEE!!! I NEED THE OTHER BOOKS NOW!!!!!
Foolish that I still believe
That love should never die
It makes me cry to witness where the
Story ends
Cute :)
