God has taken me far on this journey He has laid out for me since I was born. Painful, moments of wounds, dark and stormy times, and also joyful and blessed times. Through it all God has shown me His steadfast love, and ever faithful, never forsaking presence.
When I look back on the day I was born and think about how much God loves me and you, and knit us together with NO mistake, it shows how far He has brought me.
God has shown me so much of Himself. And through the pain, He used to get a hold of my heart, He has shown me the purpose in pain and sorrow.
Even though I know sorrow is to come in the future, I know where my heart lays. In the Anchor, the Almighty, the Great Father and Keeper of my heart.
Now that I am 16, doesn't mean I have changed and I'm gonna be this teenage snob whose this 16 year old girl who cares only for herself, like the 16 year olds in our society. Nope! I don't want to be like your average American girl who cares only for herself and is a snob. I don't want to be seen and known as just a teen girl. I want and pray you would see Jesus in me. That you wouldn't see your average 16 yr. old but would see Jesus not me! That Jesus would shine so bright out of me that you wouldn't see me and think about me, but that Jesus would instantly be seen and searched for. I don't want to be the girl you have to compete with to have the nicest cloths or camera.
No! I don't want you to see ME but see Jesus!
I pray Jesus would make His home so comfy in my heart that He would NEVER think of moving, and that His light would shine SO bright out of His home in me that it would burst out without question or delay.
This is what the passion is of this new 16 year old girl is...pray you see it in me. Glory all too God forever.
A servant for Christ,
Lizzie
