A Little About My Weekend Teaching at Inner Princess

This weekend was amazing!  I was able to work with some of the most amazing Christian young ladies, at the home school conference,  while teaching the Inner Princess program.  We had somewhere around 70 girls in the program, ages 10 - 13, and were able to disciple and get to know these girls.  In the lessons that were taught, the goal was to teach these girls, that if they have Christ in their hearts, they are princesses.  They’re daughters of the King.  We covered a lot of topics, such as God’s design, staying pure, guarding your heart, beauty that comes from within, God’s purpose in everything that happens, how important it is to stay under your parents authority (even after age 18), forgiveness, and more.  Most of the time, I felt like God was teaching me, more than the girls.   God really reminded me this weekend of His purpose in everything that happens to me.   One of the main verses the girls learned this weekend was Romans 8:28, which says,

“And we know that all things work together for good to them
 that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.”  

It’s amazing how easy it is to forget that God works all things together for good.  We taught 10 examples of things that we can’t change, that God uses for a purpose.

1. We are one of a kind
2. Our parents
3. Brothers and sisters
4. Nationality
5. How smart you are
6. The time in history you were born
7. Gender
8. The order you were born in your family
9. How you age
10. When we die

A few of these definitely stuck out to me.  God was really reminding me to be thankful for the unchangeable.  God brought one point to light that I too often forget, my parents, whom He gave for a purpose.  I was born into this family; God didn’t make a mistake.  God knew exactly what He was doing and has a plan in everything that happens.  I’m very blessed to have Christian parents who love God with all their hearts.  I have friends who don’t have Christian parents, their parents are divorced, or they only have one parent who knows Christ.  Well, it would probably be easy to ask God why, or think God made a mistake.  But, we know that’s not true.  God doesn’t make mistakes, remember?

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28

Even the things that seem to be really bad, all work together for good to them that love God.  There was NO MISTAKE.  God is in control.  No matter what happens, God will use it.  What Satan means for evil, God will work together for good.

This is kind of short, but I wanted to share my weekend of helping teach at Inner Princess.

Have a blessed week.
