You are who you are for a reason
You’re part of an intricate plan
You’re a precious and perfect unique design
Called God’s special woman or man
You look like you look for a reason
Our God made no mistake
He knit you together within the womb
You’re just what he wanted to make
No matter how you feel
We’re custom-designed with God’s plan in mind
And they bear the Master’s seal
Know, that trauma you faced was not easy
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you’d grow
You are who you are for a reason
You’ve been formed by the master’s rod
You are who are, beloved,
Because there is God!

We have this poem on the door of the woman’s bathroom within the office. I find myself reading it and having the words go over and go in my mind throughout the day as we go from program to program. The poem speaks so much truth into why we are here but more than that it talks about how God is present within every step we take and with every person that we encounter. Do we truly stop to look at people the way God does and see them through His eyes?

As servants and followers of Christ that is the calling that He has placed on our life. Are we taking the time to that.. I pray we are.

God has been speaking to me a lot since I’ve been here about His love and compassion for His people. We are here to serve.. and serve I will.
Thank you for your prayers and support. I love and miss you dearly.
