I went to Camp last week and they took this pic of me praying! Later I was asked by someone if they could use this pic for a blog they were apart of! I was flattered and honored and the blog post is phenomenal so I thought I'd repost it...
Dear Ladies in the Lord,
This week I attended and returned from church camp. I helped assist my cousin in directing the music and back-up vocals, which to my surprise was a very challenging job! I went to camp thinking that I would be doing only that, and that nothing in my life would really be different when I returned home; but as I was there, something became different. I noticed that I carried myself and thought differently than my normal self would have.
I sometimes struggle with self-esteem issues; and I think as an apostolic young lady, we all do at one time or another due to the un-leveled judgment that the world puts on us because we stand out so much! But this week I was content with myself. It wasn’t so much because I was surrounded with people that act, look, and believe in the same things that I do; but I realized something…
Everybody in this world gets judged by others, apostolic or not. Something about you is always going to be wrong, or weird, or just not normal to someone else. So why try to fix it or fit in? I have always loved the idea of being my own person, but I have never liked to be judged. I believe that as ladies of our Lord we have to stand out! Godly women are the “models” for apostolic holiness standards, and beauty! So stand out and be a model for godly things that are pure; for we are beautiful in God’s eyes!
1 Peter 2:9 - “For you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”
