No matter what hat you're wearing
Girls. and Girls with experience
There are those of you who make me laugh. And there are those of you who look at Pinterest and actually follow through -making cute cupcakes for your kids' parties. You're probably the same ones that make sure your children brush their teeth twice a day and your kids' socks are super white. Some of you seem to never drop a ball in your juggling efforts, though I know you must. There are those of you who always speak encouraging words. There are those of you who drive in Houston traffic fearlessly, and then those who still go to the bathroom in pairs. There are those of you who sing in the car until someone pulls up beside you at a red light. None of us are exactly the same.
You have your coffee, and me my Dr. Pepper while we share life.
Some of you experience struggles similar to mine. There are others of you facing struggles I can't imagine. I see you brave life's storms. There are those of you who have been there and done that; sages with wisdom. You reassure me in tough times. I think of you who I rarely see but trust that our friendship reaches across distance.
There are those of you still in school; those who wonder what Mr. Right looks like and when you'll meet him. Some of you are frustrated with drama that surrounds you. Some of you feel alone. Some of you experience every feeling listed all in one day. Someone who's reading this, battles insecurity even knowing that God says we are enough.
I know that battle.
I'm thankful for you who pray with me; pray for me. You who have allowed me to pray for you; it is a privilege. There are those of you who fear sharing your heart in Sunday School. Your heart pounds in your chest when there's something you don't want to say out loud, but you must.
We are the same.
All of us have at least one bad habit. Some days our hair aggravates us. We each have that person in our life that makes us smile. We love getting a letter or card in the mail.
And we all have a God who has given us a heart to be shared.
Tomorrow August 9, I would like to introduce A Thursday for Your Thoughts.
Each Thursday I would love to highlight someone different.
I have mentioned before that I have a prayer for this website. I pray that we as women would have a place to share; and that as we share, we are certain there are faces on the other side of the screen that are laughing, crying and just plain nodding their head in understanding. I pray that we would grow together.
But more than anything, I pray that this space would bring much-deserved glory to our God who is with us.
Please consider sharing:
Your testimony
A beloved family story
A memorable family activity
A struggle
Scripture that has especially touched your heart
A recipe
A craft
A book review

Include pictures if you can.
There is no age range. Writing skills unnecessary. Girls from all over. SHARE.
I'm biting my nails in anticipation waiting to hear from you!
