Life is funny...

I've been sitting here feeling bored with my life and wondering what the heck my purpose is, and then...

One of "my kids", Rach, emailed me today asking if I'd talk to one of her best friends. Apparently this friend, A, is in a relationship with a boy that has gotten too physical too fast. Rach is worried about her friend and wants me to share my story with her. So, we're setting up a girls night where Rach and her friend can ask me all their questions about sex and also where I can share my personal experiences. Fun, huh? Um, not so much! Hehe. Actually, I'm happy to be able to help, but SCARED TO DEATH about being "uncool" or something. My first experience with sharing my story to teenage girls (at church) didn't go so well. I felt like they could care LESS about what I had to say. I was hurt by that first experience, but I think I learned a valuable lesson from it. So, when we have our girls night I just want to share my experiences and listen to theirs. I don't want to be pushy or judgemental or preachy (cause A doesn't do church). I just want them to feel comfy with me. And maybe I'll be able to plant some little seeds that will help the girls out later in life. Pray for me! I want to go into this prayed up and with the right attitude. BTW, these girls are 16-17. *shaking in my boots*

Remember that God will put the words in your mouth . . . how wonderful that you are able to do this. Do not be scared! That is a tool of Satan, who does not want you to talk to her. Satan does not want her to hear the truth and the voice of experience. I love you and I am praying for you! God ordained this time for you, and for you to talk to this girl. I can't wait to hear how it goes. I love you so much!
