I have stood in front of a road for MANY years. Too scared to go down it. Fear has always been standing right beside me, reminding me of why I shouldn’t go down the road. I’ve fought and I’ve fought. I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding those urges, keeping them carefully tucked away from my other dreams and aspirations…until last night.
My mother calls me, for the 2nd time that day…which normally means that she wants something. LOL! She says, “Heather, I have a project for you.” I IMMEDIATELY cringe…don’t want to do it & I don’t even know what it is yet. She proceeds to tell me what she has been thinking/praying about all day and just when I am about to shoot her down, she places a layer of “That’s what I feel the Lord telling me.” Really? Really? Don’t you just love it when the good ole parents get the Lord involved?!
So, with both hands raised, I’m surrendering. I’m going to walk down this road and see what’s in store. Here’s where I need to pick your brain. If there was a book that prepared your daughter for life (school and all), what topics would you love to see addressed?
Guarding her purity and honoring her parents.
Self Image, Male/Female relationships, Fighting cultural influences with a Biblical World view, Modesty/Biblical Femininity, Vulnerablity in girl relationships/loyality/value of good friends, Celebrating unique gifting God gives, not comparing or competing, dispelling princess mentality by understanding relationship with King of Kings, understanding the way God createdand wired boys/men.. i will think on some more, but raising 2 girls these topics come really easily! Love you girl and am thankful that hopefully i can benefit from your absolute surrender! <3
I would say purity, modesty included, developing a passionate relationship to Christ, Biblical womanhood…what that looks like now and how can she be the woman God created her to be. I agree with Betsy on not competing and comparing in any areas. THe GOSPEL is not a FORMULA…
Hmm…I will keep thinking, but I just want to say I can’t WAIT to see what you come up with! What a great thing! I am excited about it! Keep us posted!
