So, what exactly is Girl After God? I believe that a girl needs to be dedicated to pouring all of her time, energy and passion into becoming the fabulous girl God created her to be. A girl after God isn't perfect, but she walks in the footsteps of the one who is, surrendering daily to His leadership and guidance. A girl after God knows that the world will throw hard things her way, but clings to God in the midst of them knowing that through Him, she can endure any and every kind of hardship. A girl after God is bold in her faith, dedicated to rocking the world with love, compassion, forgiveness and grace. She speaks with kindness at all times, and spreads love, not gossip to everyone she encounters.
On top of these lovely and admirable qualities, a girl after God knows that she cannot do this alone – that first and foremost needs God’s guidance and direction, and a community of ladies to help build and encourage one another. Two of my very special friends and I always tell each other that we are fabulously fabulous, and one day I texted my friend and told her that a girl should be two things: Godly and Fabulous.
God's vision that He placed on my heart is a girl's ministry in the youth that is solely based on what it means to be a fabulous godly girl whose heart is after Him. I can't wait to get this ministry started and see how God uses me through it. God has called me to be a leader and be an example to the girls of the youth.
A verse that has been on my mind for this ministry is 1 Timothy 4:12 which says, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity." My prayer is that each girl who is a part of this ministry will know that they have sisters in Christ who are on this same journey with them, find accountability and encouragement, but most of all that their relationship with God will grow stronger and that each day they will live a life after God.
