ROMANS 12:2
There are so many things teenage girls go through that most people don’t understand. As I get a little bit older I am realizing that many things I thought were one way are actually another. And some of the things I thought were important really aren’t. So much has already happened in my life, and I am only sixteen! God has used the experiences I have had to make me into who He wants me to be. I believe God has placed everyone on the planet for a purpose, and I am deter mined to walk in the purpose He has for me. Sometimes I wonder what that might look like next year or in five years … But right now part of His purpose for me is learning these lessons that he keeps putting in front of me. I know this will not always be easy, but I want so badly to walk in His purpose and plan for me, and I know no better way that doing it every day, in the smallest of moments. So, let’s keep discovering what God’s purposes for us in this day, this moment, might be.

Lord, thank You that You have a purpose for my life.
I would feel so lost without You!
