Thanks Althea

So I hate hate hate when people ask me such questions as What's the next step? What are you up to these days? Do you have a job? Are you still babysitting? and so on....

On Saturday I got to answer those questions about 3 times for my parents small group (they were over for a summertime hangout.) I know those questions were well wished by some of the same people who have been praying for those things. But some times it makes me feel like an epic failure. Truth be told I don't know what I am completely doing with my life but I do see God mercies surrounding me.

I was mentioning this in passing at church to a lady named Althea. I love Althea. She is a Godly woman who lives her life in such a way that I can see that her treasure in life is Christ. She has a huge heart for sharing the Gospel, praying, scriptures and encouraging younger women (myself included). We have had great conversions about life. I remember a time last summer when I really needed someone to talk to after asking if we could get coffee soon, her reply was how about in an hour. She has been such a blessing in my life (Read- I value her opinion)

She was super encouraging today and pointed out that I am spending time where it matters, growing in Godliness and getting involved in community. Is was great to be told that by someone who I respect and would not mind being like someday. Thanks Althea for directing my eyes to things above.
