From My Heart

I wanted to take a moment to thank you (my readers) for your support and encouragement. I got an email from Word Press today showing me the statistics in regards to people who read this blog – the numbers have quadrupled as the months have pasted, since its launch in June 2011!

Being able to visualize those statistics caused me to reflect on the birth of Made in His Image, something I really needed to do. It’s not mine – it’s His. I have simply tried to respond to the desire and grace He has put in my heart. Often times I shutter at how poor of a job I do, but with each new sunrise and Holy Communion comes a chance to begin again. A chance to throw myself into the arms of the Father and ask Him for the grace to respond with courage and strength to what He is asking of me. Because while there are times that I bust out 6 miles in record time because I’m so excited for this ministry, at other times the unknown is scary.

But I trust in my Father’s gentle love, peace and reassurance. I know He wants this. This is for Him. This is for the girls who need to know their worth and their cherished dignity as a daughter of God. This is for the girl who sees her self-worth through a number on a scale. This is for the college athlete who needs to try harder to honor God with his or her athletic ability. This is for the college student whose hope has run dry. This is for the young girl who has nightmares of traumatic events and still locks her door at night because of fear. This is for the girl who has scars on her body from abuse and even deeper scars on the inside. This is for the woman who just heard the words from a loved one, I’m addicted to pornography. This is for you, because I love you. I love you with every ounce of my sensitive heart. And I will not stop until you know the Father’s love, until you feel His gentle arms around you saying, you are my child and I love you not because of what you do, but because you are created in My Image. You are my beautiful daughter. 

My little sister, Kate is autistic and I don’t get to see her much. Today I got to spend a good part of the day with her! We went shopping for princess stickers and then she wrote this (with my help).

Ladies, always remember that you are the Father’s Princess!!

Also, tomorrow Made in His Image has a very exciting announcement – WE ARE HIRING!!!
