Love you

Angela,
So glad that you checked in, I am been looking for a word from you everyday. I am so glad that you had time to catch me up on what is going on with you.  Sorry for this difficult season in your life, you have to keep in mind that you are just in a season of your growth and in time in will produce much fruit. I will continue to lift up your worries to the Lord.

As for Echo, she is here at the house all day everyday till classes start in January so give her a call. She is working through a lot of things in her mind and soul right now. I talked to her about how she was feeling two days ago, she had questions related to the verse about women. I basically told her that if God has given her these desires to serve him and be a missionary then she should let nothing get in her way. She questioned how God could create women to be only helpers, only mothers. I had to contain my laughter. I told her it was perfectly ok for her to have no desire to be a mother right now, she is 17, a virgin and never been kissed. That maybe now it is time for her to do what God has told her to do. She asked about marriage and how could God make Man be the ruler of the women. At this point I did laugh and told her that in the trinity there are the Father, Son, and Spirit not one is more important than another. They work as one because they are one. In marriage there is the man, the woman and the Lord, they all work as one no one is more important than other. The two become one and work to serve the Lord. I also told her that she needs to accept that the Lord loves her, that her own self esteem is preventing her from believing the God loves her and wants the best for her. I told her about the Blessing the Spirit book, I hope she reads it.

I love you my friend and I miss your words. I pray that things slow down and you are able to sleep soon.
Love, Tina
