I'm blown away by your comments from Tuesday's devotion and blog post. It's tough to write from a vulnerable place, holding your breath and wondering if anybody else in the world feels the same.
Satan has one great lie to keep Christians in sin and woundedness. All he has to say is, "You are alone." That simple phrase keeps use isolated with our hurts unadressed by God and unhealed or unforgiven.
When God's girls join together, we're unstopable. Let's commit to telling our stories so that others know that they're not alone. The kids at our church are telling their stories of struggle out loud, and amazing things are happening. Accountibility groups are forming, other kids are being inspired, and lots of real questions are coming out.
I'm not alone. I've got Jesus' love and all my sisters around me...so do you. Thanks for sharing!

That is a really good idea. How in the world did ya'll get your youth to open up like that? My youth (I am the Youth Leader at my church) open up to me and times but it is really hard to open up to one another. If you have any pointers that would be great!
I have started leading a class on Wednesdays for ladies called Mix, Mingle and Pray. This past week the discussion was about the lies that Satan tells us that keep us defeated. We countered each lie with a truth from His word. We need to share our stuggles do that we can help others understand they are not alone.
