Real Women

Last night, the Worldview team organized an event at Harmony House for girls only. So a few friends and I went, and oh my goodness...it was amazing. Let me tell ya'll a little about it.

First I want to say Bryan College has some durn amazing people. If I could get a degree in "sit and listen to what God has done in your life" then I so would. But anyways, they advertised around the halls with posters and made chapel announcements about this "Real Women of Bryan College" night, and we all wanted to go and what a blessing it was.

Four women were there to share about their lives. The first one to share was Mrs. Clark, one of our professor's wives. She is a stay at home mother with four kids, and one on the way. She told about her single life, how she met her husband, and how she is living her life at home. So encouraging. (She also mentioned that she was reformed.)

Next was the school Psychologist, Liz Mosley. She talked about counseling, and how to love people. I really needed this, as I get aggravated so easily and forget to love people, especially those close to me. Her talk was also very encouraging, not to mention inspiring. It really made me evaluate where I am in relationships with my friends and gave me a desire to build strong friendships and find new ones!

My English professor spoke after Liz, her name is Dr. Impson. She talked about her life, and what she wanted to be when she was younger, then how God changed her life around, and how she had to go through trials to be where God wants her to be. Again, very very encouraging.

Finally, Judy Olsen, one of our secretaries, talked to us about intercessory prayer. She is an amazing lady, and from hearing her testimony of praying for everyone, it made me realize that this is what God wants us all to do. Prayer is powerful. I saw that I need to be talking to God more than I do. Mrs. Olsen was also a great encouragement.

Wow. Overall, this event was incredible, helped me realize some things, and encouraged me immensely. (This may be the most I've ever used the word encouraged...but there are no other words!) It was great to live out Titus 2:4-5 and hear older women teach us younger women.

Other than that, I was wired up on coffee, so I went to the intramural basketball tournament with my friends and had a great time laughing and having fun. And I'm happy to report my energy is back again. Thank you God. I also have been reminded that even if it is snowing and I want it to be summer, "this is the day that the Lord has made." So I will rejoice and be glad in it. It's a good thing to rejoice. Ok, that's it, have a great day!

(One more thing:) This verse hopped out at me this morning:

But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
Jude 20-23
