This Godly lady is my mentor. She is beautiful, inside and out. She's on fire for the Lord. She is the complete definition of a servant for the Lord. This Godly lady is an inspiration, an encourager and a fighter. She knows that the Lord is faithful and that He only has the best plans for her life. This Godly lady is strong and courageous. She surrenders everyday to our God and constantly gives herself to let the Spirit lead her in every step she takes. She can live in the moment, instead of the future or the past. This mentor of mine is thankful for every little blessing of the day...down to the breaths she's taking. Though struggles come her way, she knows and fully trusts that God's got it. This Godly lady could lead an army, hands down, because she knows the Lord is victorious and on her side. This Godly lady, my mentor, is an angel...a blessing...a Godsend.
Yesterday was a lazy day until I got a special invite. Let's call her Beautiful. A word that describes how the Lord has physically created her and how the Holy Spirit has transformed her heart and mind to be. So I get to B's place and I'm handed this red velvet cupcakes with sparkles..not sprinkles..sparkles on top, I didn't think the day could get much better. So I get a house tour and new coasters with her face in them for my college dorm. Creeperstatus. We sit and then it starts...God uses her words, her past and her heart to mend mine. This is all the Lord's doing, but it takes a willing Spirit to do what He commands. She taught me a lot in these few hours...but I'll just share a few:)
1. That God has created a man for each of His princesses that are going to love them relentlessly, and fully, and no matter what. There's a man that's going to love them in a way they didn't even know what possible. That in everything this man does, even in anger, he still shows that He loves his princess. Nothing she did could change this eternal love.
2. Jesus..I am. Not I was, not I'm going to be, but I am. In the present tense. Jesus Christ was fully present in every moment and He was performing miracles left and right. Jesus Christ has called us to be of the moment, not the future. What have we missed by living in the past?
3. A thankful heart is a joyful heart. B has a journal of all the things she's thankful for. She carries this journal around with her and writes down every single blessing of the day. You see, she taught me that before every miracle, Jesus gave thanks to the Father. I'm not even performing miracles and yet, I have a hard time giving thanks daily.
4. B showed me that if we surround ourselves with God's work, then we have nothing else to talk about. So when the world says, "What've you been up to?", there's nothing else to say besides what you've been doing for the Lord.
B is a God send. She's on fire and sets those around her on fire. She helps me to continue to see the world through God's eyes instead of my own. Please, find yourself someone like my B. A mentor, a servant. A cupcake giver, ;)
The rest of yesterday was spent at the mall, the christian bookstore, ice cream and my house. :) It was a very amazing day.
In Christ,
me
