A Woman's Heart

In honor of an emotionally draining week, I have decided it was a perfect moment to search for the beauty in the pain I feel or at least see beauty in what the Lord has helped me understand. What good am I to his calling if I can not come out on top of my struggles with learning and being blessed by them.

I was reading Thriving Family by the Focus on the Family organization, and I came across an article called Bringing Up Girls by Dr. Dobson. He really is an amazing man of God, and his words. that are given to him entirely from the Lord, inspire me very much. He wrote about the heart of a little girl and how her heart should be treated by her father, her brother, her husband, by her mother, and by those who have a relationship with her.

If you want to know a piece of my heart, I would like you to know my love for words. I think that God gave me this passion for them to feel His love more and more everytime I read or hear a specific word.

I think these words are a beautiful description of a girls heart and they have made me truly thankful for his captivating glory.

So many words that describes what a girl should always feel. However, because of sin it is sadly replaced with pain. What a glorious God to have given us the healing for this wound though. Thank you Jesus for giving me the things that I long for.

Girls, my heart goes out to you, if you feel pain or shame. The Lord has forgiven us seven times over, and he wants to heal our broken heart. Let him be this for you, and know you are all of these words above. NO ONE can EVER take these true characters away from you, no matter the condition of your heart in sin or no sin. You need to believe in the grace you have been given and then believe that these things are true about you, You are AMAZING.

We are priceless gifts that need to be protected and treated delicately:

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10

The continued story...

For the remainder of my trip in Hungary, everyday was quite similar. We would share with classrooms about American universities. Sharing with the students there was a great way for us to learn how different we are here. We had a chance to just talk with them and get to know about their lives and what it was like for them growing up in Hungary or in some cases, other parts of Europe. I loved listening to their accents. They asked so many questions, and it was amazing that i could answer them.

After this time of classroom presentation we would do randoms in the commons of each university and share the gospel. The basics of what would happen is this: Me and my new friend Sandor, (sanie- /shawnie/ for short)
I thought it was great that we were paired together during this week, our names matched well :)

Anyway... We would approach a student, and introduce ourselves. I would tell them that I was from America, and that I was working with an organization called CRU (in Hungary it would be called FEK). Sandor and I would ask them questions written in a survey. They pertained to their lives such as "Where do you think you will be in five years?" and "What do you want to do with your life?" Then we would get deeper into the heart of our purpose there. We would ask them question about God and who or what they thought of Christianity. Finally if they let us, we would go through a diagram with them.

I had never done a diagram with someone until that week, it was amazing. The pictures that were representing Christ helped me to be clear and precise. Sandor, thank the Lord was with me every step of the way :) Thank you Sanie!
