Jess, a little idea

Dear friends,
Lately, my heart has been really heavy about some topics. We're all teen girls here, and I know for a fact that each of us is struggling in some area of our life. In Galatians, Paul talks about carrying each other's burdens. I don't mean like legit stressing over something 24/7 and losing sleep over a situation someone has brought to you...I mean coming together as sisters in Christ and asking for prayer, asking for an ear to listen and encouragement. So..this is my little way of saying that whatever it is..whenever it is, let us be open to one another.

My really close friend and I have recently been struggling with similar things. A little while ago, we just kind of stopped and asked "why aren't we doing something to help each other?" And that's just it. We all struggle, why not help each other, relate to each other and encourage our brothers and sisters through Christ? We sort of created this "accountability" system. Every day we text, call, e-mail, snail, mail..whichever we're in the mood for, and ask "so hows this going?" or "have you been in the Word today?" This is something very near and dear to my heart, and I just felt like sharing with you all. If this interests you, or you wanna talk about it..pray about it, shoot me an email or if you have my number text me! I believe that we need to be keeping each other accountable, encouraging our friends in the right direction God is pointing us in.
I love you all so much!

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." -Ephesians 3:14-21
