My car was a quiet car and most of my ride was spent in prayer. Praying for the three girls riding in the car. Two teens and a toddler. Kinda funny how much they had in common.
The teen girls were content with listening to their iPhones and Addyson, the toddler was content with watching Curious George. Both the toddler and the teens got cranky, sleepy, and hungry.
All three girls, although at very different stages of life, need me. As they rode in my car, I drove in silent prayer. Praying that this would be a life changing trip for them. Praying they would experience the love of God in a new way. Praying for their future husbands. Praying that they would make good decisions. Praying that they would somehow see God through me. This is what really stopped me. Wow, it was as if I slammed on the brakes. I was stunned to think about how these girls look up to me. Even If they wouldn't admit it they are looking up to me. Does my life reflect a life of love? Do I reflect God? What kind of influence am i? What do the people that are around me see?
When Addyson is a teen who will she look up to? Who will influence her?
My prayer is that I can be fully present in the moment as I show love to these three girls this week.
