Tuesday Humility

So I just got back from the Well, a college group I go to on Tuesday nights...Tonight we talked about what it means to be a woman of God and how we are to be according to His word. Well after a very humbling and convicting sermon given by our pastor, we went into a time for questions...the girls and guys separate.

It is so easy to get caught up in this American culture of what a woman should be, do, want, have, etc. As I was listening to what Sarah Kelly was saying, one thing totally stuck out to me. She said, "This time you guys are in, being single, is such a great opportunity to run into and learn as much as you can about being a woman of God." This hit hard...she's right, we should be pursuing Him daily. But instead it's so easy to get caught up with school, work, career opportunities, and all the things of this world.

I have totally come to a point in my life where so many things of this world; people, work, school, a career, and just the "American life" have just creeped up. Its a scary thought in that these things aren't neccessarily bad, that is as long as Christ is first and foremost. But its so easy to get distracted with all the selfishness the world offers in ways that can be justified. I want to pursue Christ and understand what it really means to be a woman of God. In reality...everything under the sun is meaningless...and Christ is our true treasure.
