Sunday night I was sitting in my room journaling my prayers and spending some time with God. I was thinking about how far God has brought me and how thankful I am for that. I decided to look back in my journal to see what I wrote awhile back, that is when I had a WOW GOD MOMENT. At CIY over the summer we were told to write a letter to ourselves to read in December, I had totally forgotten about this letter.
The letter said:
Claire, don’t ever forget to love everyone no matter what! Remember the way Jesus loves people. Let down your walls and love people whole heartily. Remember that judgment is God’s job, not yours. Even though times might be tough, never forget how short time is on Earth is compared to Eternity. Watch your words, don’t talk about the people who annoy you, take the time to love them. Always remember that everyone has a story, some people just don’t stick around long enough to find out. Fight the good fight! I hope by this time you know where God wants to use you. I hope you have such a stronger passion for the younger girls that this week you have realized you have so much influence over. I know you aren’t perfect but I hope you remember to shine the Godliness of Jesus through your life no matter what is going on, stay strong!
Reading this blew my mind, I don’t ever remember writing any of these words. But in these past few months God has taught me more about all these things. What totally made me stop and smile at how God works is the part that talked about finding a place where God would use you and growing in your passion for young girls. This passion has grown so much inside me and right now I am pursuing what God wants with everything I am, but I know when I wrote this I wasn’t doing any of those things. It just blows my mind that on July 22, 2010, God gave me just the right words to say that I needed to hear on January 2, 2011, wow God You never cease to amaze me.
