The Inspiration of FRESH

So tonight, near the end of Bible study, Abby asked everyone to share one thing they wanted to remember/take away from tonight. And one of the girls said something along the lines of "I want to be like John the Baptist. He was just always pointing to God. And I want to be like that, devoting all my time to God, but right now it's hard because of college and everything. But I want it to be, whenever anyone sees me, they know, 'that girl knows God.'" And that was really cool. Now the college getting in the way part, I had something to say to that (in the most loving way possible) and I'll probably address that eventually. But what she said at the end, "whenever anyone sees me, they know 'that girl knows God.'" That's something I'm striving for. There's this C.S. Lewis-attributed quote that says "A woman's heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her." It's a similar concept. I mean, I think that Lewis quote is about romance etc. but it still applies. That's my goal. I want to be a woman who's heart is so close to God that people have to seek Him to find me. I want people to see me and just know that I know God. It was so cool that that beautiful freshman girl said that! God speaks in all kinds of ways.
