Through Me

Being out of Cornerstone ministry is hard sometimes. For the most part it is easy because it is totally where God has led me and He has blessed our family through our obedience in honoring His plan for us (for me to be at home). There are times though, when I wish I had more flexibility to do more with ministry outside of my home. I am patient, I know the time will come again, and I am ever so thankful for my ministry at home. Yet still I struggle with it sometimes.

There is something I want to do, something I plan to make time for, in fact-I made time for it tonight. There is a lovely young lady, a former God's Girl, who I used to meet with regularly, who is in need of my shoulder again. She needs someone to lean on, she needs someone to help her navigate through some pretty rough areas. I met with her for just an hour tonight (thankfully my dad was here to watch Kyler), and I was so honored once again that this precious girl allows me into her heart and soul. The level of respect and trust she has for me blows my mind and humbles me beyond belief. This is a girl who doesn't open up to just anyone, yet she and I have a very close relationship completely crafted by God.

Please pray for me as I work out the details of finding an hour to meet with her each week. Yup, I am having a hard time finding just 1 hour. Between her schedule and ours it is difficult, but I know God knows the perfect hour. I want to be there for her, I want to make time for her, I want to be the hands and feet and words of God for her.
Tonight she told me I was better than her therapist...that I know her better and know what to say. I told her that it's God who knows her and I turn my entire self over to God when I meet with her. I have no idea what I am going to tell her but every single time I have met with her (many times in the past and tonight), God speaks through me.
Please pray for her, for her strength to make some tough decisions and stand strong in those decisions. It is so hard being a teenager, and I just hurt for her.
