My name is Kat. I'm here for your encouragement. I am blessed beyond measure to call God my Father, as are many of you! You know what that makes us? Sisters. And sisters are supposed to love, encourage and protect each other. But all too often, we become distracted or uninterested in one another. We have other friends to talk to, we have boys to flirt with, we have school to worry about..... What happened to our sisterhood?
The good news is, it's still here. We're still related!! And we still have responsibilities to one another. Starting today, we can build that relationship back up. But it can't be one-sided, and it can't start with me. It has to start with you! You have to know your worth and acknowledge the worth of the beautiful girls around you. We are all God's daughters and we have to stick together! We stick out in this world like sore thumbs. We're different. If we can't stick together, we're putting ourselves in a dangerous position. A candle standing on it's own will easily be blown out. But one hundred candles standing together- they become much harder to blow out. And we are the same way. When we rely on ourselves, we let ourselves down all too often. The world gets in the way of what our mind has to say. But when we stand together-- that is when true magic takes place. Hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart; we stand together and we stand apart.
When was the last time you were excited to call yourself one of "them"? A Southern girl, a Directioner, a Belieber, a California girl, a nerd, a prep.... (I think you all get the picture.) Whatever title it may be, you're pretty excited to have it right?? Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with any of these things! But when was the last time you were excited to call yourself a Christian lady? I'm not really talking about the ever popular statements, "I'm Jesus' homie!" or, "Jesus is my bestie!" but I am talking about being a Christian lady. The excitement that comes from fan-girling over your Bible, or shouting praises to the Father.. making bold statements like, "I'm a daughter of God and not a single person on this Earth can change that." When was the last time you were actually excited to say something like that? I'll be honest with you all, I haven't been excited about that in a while. And that hurts a little bit to think about.. Look at how many followers celebrities have on Twitter. They get tweets every single day from fans! Myself included. But what if for a day we didn't focus on those celebrities and instead we focused on one another? What if for a week, we focused on building each other up and making great friends? Can you imagine how much we could get done in that time? We are the best of workers when we feel good about ourselves, so why are we not working together to build each other up?? We can do so much good for ourselves and for others. All we have to do is try! Take some time out of this week to call, text, Facebook message, or drop by one of your sisters' houses. It can be five minutes or it can be three hours! Just spend quality time together and see how much good you guys can do. See how great you feel afterwards! :)
