    Recently I was asked to share part of my testimony of overcoming obstacles and hardships as a teen with a website for teen girls called Girls 4 God. The editor of the site, Annika, has an inspiring ministry and features the stories of various women to encourage girls to grow in Christ. If you are a girl, woman or even man who would like to share a word of encouragement with teen girls you can email Annika at statement@girls4god.de. I was glad to be able to contribute part of my experience:

    It’s hard to live in your purpose if your heart is not surrendered to the purpose-Giver…

    Have you ever felt the pressure of molding your actions – yourself – to the expectations of others?

    When you’re not in your purpose, you might feel that squeezing, gnawing discomfort inside. The wrangling tension in you may be a signal that you’re not doing what you are meant to.

    I’ve been feeling that way lately – the effects of kneading some of my actions to please others, or acting the way I think they expect me to. I’ve reasoned to myself that helping others is the right thing to do, but at the same time am abandoning the tasks God has given me.
