This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to be a counselor on my church's high school beach retreat. In my group, I was given the most amazing amazing girls on the face of this earth, four of whom I've gotten extremely close with! And let me tell you, it has been life-changing. I went to serve on beach retreat hoping to pour into these girls, give advice, etc. Instead, they changed my life. They have impacted me in ways I could never explain. As I continued my internship at the church the remaining time of that summer, I got to see the girls all the time! And maintaining deep friendships with each of them since last June has been incredible, even since I've been away at Baylor! When I come back in town from school, I get SO excited to see them, to hear about their lives and their precious hearts. They make it sound like I've influenced them, etc. But really, these girls are the ones that keep me grounded, joyful in Christ, proud to be a radiant woman of God.
"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." Zephaniah 3:17
This verse reminds me of this group of girls especially because of the joy they contain in their hearts. These are the kind of girls you can just tell that they are radiant. They are literally glowing with the light of Christ! They have "Jesus eyes", as Karen Kingsbury would say. They are beautiful, inside and out. And I am more than confident that God has incredible plans for their lives.
....Hopefully starting with them all attending Baylor...just sayin' haha
I love you girls more than you know.
Praying for each of your hearts every single day.
I am always here for you.
Psalm 34:5 will ALWAYS remind me of you girls.
Keep pursing radiance.
