While driving to Mother's Day Out last week, I was flipping through stations cause they are in the middle of the pledge drive on Klove and do a lot more talking than I can handle in the morning. So I land on a station where I hear the dj ask "who would you be willing to sleep with to get what you want?" I honestly could not believe that this is on the radio. Since that day, my mind has been constantly questioning how close we are to being Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). We are quickly becoming a country with no morals and no backbone. What happened to standing up for what believe in. Are we fearful of what others are going to think or afraid we will hurt someone's feelings? I hope that when I am doing something that is defying my Lord that the people who see it will tell me, in a loving way. It might hurt my feelings, but in the end, if it is someone who is looking out for my soul, I can only be thankful that they care enough about me to want the best for me.
I look at the world that my daughter is going to grow up in and fear what she will have to face if she is living her life for God. I hope she knows how important it is for her to stay pure until marriage. I hope that others see her and see a loving, confident girl who cares for others and their salvation. I hope that this world will not be one where she feels like she has to fit in and be a part of it. I want her to be the VOICE not the echo!
I hope I can be the voice! I need to be constantly seeking to help others grow to know God! I need to be the example of what I want my children to be. My parents were an incredible example to me of living what they taught. I only hope I can be that for my children.
