Thinking of how much God has changed us in the past 3 years makes me cry every time..
God has been so gracious to us not only in our own lives but in our friendship/sisterhood. The fact that He has placed us in each other’s lives to witness His changing grace & speak truth to each other makes me realize He loves us very, very much.
Love you & cant wait to see how God will further use our friendship for His glory.
“If it had affected white, middle class girls in that same way, we would have seen a very very different social and political response.”
“The physical chains may not be there, but the psychological chains are much, much stronger.”
“Predominantly what we are seeing are low-income girls, girls of color, girls in the child welfare system, girls who have been victims of childhood sexual abuse and trauma… we know that anywhere from 70-90% of girls and women who end up in the sex industry were victims of childhood sexual abuse. This industry…preys upon the most vulnerable people in our society.”
Work is not a curse. Frustrating work is a curse. The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep and that is before the fall. So get a robust, good, positive theology of work. Realize that God put us on the planet to be co-makers, co-creators, co-workers with him. We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand (Ephesians 2:10). Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Do it as to the Lord and not to man (Ephesians 6:7). So all those verses are meant to just feed into a robust theology of looking upon doing during the day, getting up, being productive, making something happen: creating something, cleaning a room, washing the car, fixing the brakes, writing a computer program, tending a sick person, making a good meal. All of these things are blessed by God as something he wants his co-makers and co-workers to do.

Today on the way home from north campus i decided to go through the slope since te weather was nice. I got a glimpse of the very end of the sunset and it was SO beautiful. Seeing the orange/red dissolve into the dark blue…. The glimmer of lights against the clear waters of cayuga lake….
God is such an amazing artist and romantist…. He knows how to take my breath away and make my heart melt completely. He knows better than any man, woman, or object, and I’m reminded once again I was created BY Him to be loved BY Him and to love HIM.

“Real Manhood means you hallow womanhood. A woman isn’t a toy to amuse your lusts, a thing to aggrandize your ego, a trophy to adorn your manhood. A woman is of your rib, who birthed your rib, who cupped your rib, who is meant to be gently cherished at your rib, at your side.”
brothers take this to heart & be good influence to the next generation of men!! and sisters ALSO take this article to heart & strive to be a real woman of God with confidence that comes from knowing God protects and loves us.
