1 Thessalonians 5:16-17
   "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

   Never would I ever think that I would cling to this verse as much as have this past week. Like Moses, I felt like I had been thrust into an impossible situation that required leadership roles and I felt in my heart that I was not the girl for the job.
   So I pray to God for guidance and strength and I told Him that without Him yes I would most surely fail, but with Him I was invincible in my predicament.
   Throughout the week I continued to pray to God making an effort to talk to him more like he was my Father and not some distant diety. I was thankful to Him for putting me in this situation because even though it was not my ideal circumstance it was God's will and this is His plan.
   NOW, most of us have probably had that moment were we think we living that commandment to the fullest and then BANG all of a sudden you are pushed deeper into conviction.
   Well that would be how yesterday (Friday, Feb. 3, 2012) went for me. Literally.
   I was on my way back from lunch. On Friday's my youth minister has $2 lunch for senior high kids who can come and so me and my friend Melody went. Usually we have a friend named Jacob that goes with Melody and we take separate cars, but he had NHS issues to attend to so it was just Melody and me.
   We took my car and of course it was pouring rain. :/
   To be honest we needed it.
   So on the way back from eating Sonic Cheeseburgers (yum!) I'm driving down Adams Blvd. and my friend is saying how much see loves my car (a Chrystler Pacifica). Some kids are turning onto Choctaw to get back to school and so I had to stop and wait for them to turn and then BANG...someone rearends me.
   This is the first accident either of us (Melody, me and the girl that hit me) had ever been in. Needless to say I was terrified even though it was a minor finderbender.

   I was so thankful for so many things at that point: God's protection, having my friend there with me to help me through (I was so shocked when it happened I didn't even know where to pull over), having are car that is like a TANK!, actually knowing the girl who hit me and having understanding, loving parents and having a cop that was understanding and merciful as well (my insurance was expired by 2 days and I had not gotten around to putting the updated insurance card in my glove box, yes I've gotten around to it now).

   Moral of the story, always give thanks to God no matter how bad your day is and put your updated insurance verification in your glove box when you get it.

The beginning of many

Hello we are the 2 Girls for God! This blog was kind of a spur of the moment decision that Mckenna and I made today. In October of 2011 we met at Harding University's Bison Daze. We both had similar backgrounds growing up in the Church of Christ (CoC) and had a passion for God that we wanted to share with others. In later months we encouraged each other spend time in God's word and to devote our lives more to Him. God is GREAT!!! Why not scream it to the world? So this is what we've come to...a blog that will hopefully bring girls closer to God.
