You may be wondering just what does that mean? To be growing in myself, for me it's pretty simple it's my way of thinking instead of growing up from an outward perspective it's a growing from the inward perspectives. As a woman in her 30's people would never guess me to be the age I am based on my outwardly appearance. As an Asian the youthful effect plays a big role that many of Asian women and sometimes men have their age be assumed wrong. As I get older I really started to contemplate how much I have changed in my life. God has a funny way of showing us what the world and life around it has become as the years go by. For me I've learned that just sitting around and not doing anything isn't getting me anywhere. I serve in an amazing church and in a ministry that I NEVER would have gave thought to serving in. Because in my own mind it wasn't something I thought I was ready for. Oh but was I wrong, God pulled away children's ministry and brought young adult to my life. I was constantly praying to God "is this right for me?" " am I ready?" And the ever popular "WHY??" all these things I questioned but never really accepted until God gave me the truth. I was growing out of an old season of life I was outwardly growing out of working with young children in church and he was showing me that I was holding on because I was scared to change and try the new. Somehow God made it very clear that this was that new growth in my season. Also spiritually I was growing this is that inward growth I'm talking about here. I was growing in my walk with God and becoming more mature in my conversations, listening more to others and understanding better of God and who he was and is. Now that I'm at this stage of life I'm busy as ever, not just at church but work as well. I don't think I'm sitting down as much because I'm constantly on the go. Constantly doing things here and there, do I get tired? Yes of course! But the results that come out have been amazing. I just did a ten year challenge photo a little while back and as I look at my old and my new self and I'm surprised. On the out nothing looks different, sure my hair is shorter in my new, I have makeup on my face in my new self and I have more wrinkles (probably). But that's not the real difference. The true difference is how much I have truly grown. Hence growing in myself, I have grown more in so many ways that true it might not show at first and it may be hard to see. But by my actions and the change in my personality do I hope it can be seen. My prayer for myself is that God reveals in me a woman who is loved by a father who is willing to lay his life down. A woman that cam grow in her walk and become wise in her understanding.
Let's talk about a topic that we all can relate to "women". So today is "international women's day", to you what does that mean the word woman? To me it means confidence, strength, and woman power. Growing up I had a lot of women in my life that were amazing and still are examples in my life. My mom grew up in a predominantly female house, so my poor uncle had 4 older sisters. As women society holds us to a very high standard back in the day women were meant to stay at home and take care of the house and the children. Working women back then was very few and far between and those that did work were and even today are still fighting for equality among the men. To me we have all the same rights nothing should be limited or withheld. As a woman in God's eyes we are loved and cherished sure Eve was the first and she messed up but that didn't mean she was loved any less. Let's talk about confidence as a woman, we are and can be in everything that we s...
