Isn't She Lovely?

I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works. And that my soul knows very well. Psalms 139:14

Hello ladies!
It's been a wonderful few weeks for me. I've been really seeking God and praying to him for guidance about a lot of things and He's been awesome through it all. I'm gearing up for school and I'm sure most of you are too. I wish you well this year. With that being said, I want to give you a little advice for the upcoming school year.

1. Start every morning with a prayer.
Talk with God as you prepare to go to school. Give him thanks for another day and for who He is. Ask him for protection, guidance and whatever else you need for the day. It's important that we began to build our relationships with Christ. It's the only one that will last! If you get in the habit of talking to God on your good days when bad days come you will be so confident in your relationship that nothing can stop you from turning to God first!

2. Set Spiritual Goals
Just as you set goals for the school year concerning your grades, making a team, talking to the boy you've liked for two years or just making new friends you should do the same in your spiritual walk. You should use the school year as a time to devout yourself to studying the Word of God, also. If you will give yourself 30 minutes before or after you've done your homework to read the Word then you will be telling God that His word is important to you. We are willing to pull all nighters for a test, but why aren't we willing to give God a few minutes of our time as well? Also, set a goal for how many people you're going to talk to about Christ everyday. If you have to start with one, do that! Start somewhere. It is our responsibility to go into the world and preach the word of God ( Mark 16:15). So, make an effort to do that. By doing so we are helping Christ save souls and being obedient to God! If you have duties in the church, make sure you plan to fulfill them. Set goals for church just as you would for anything else. We've gotta start living a life that says "God, I love you more than anything".

3. Give Back!
As Christians we often get a lot of criticism for what we don't do. People say they don't see us helping others or being loving, so why should they follow our God? Well, as Christian young ladies let's do something to change this perception. Volunteer, support a cause, do something charitable! It shows God how much you appreciate all he's done for you and it makes you feel sooo good!

Ladies, I hope this year goes well for you. These are a few things that will help you be the woman God is calling you to be...fearfully and wonderfully made! You wanna feel beautiful, lovely or like a lady...be obedient to God. There is no better feeling!

I love you all!
