In the account of Noah's Ark, found in Genesis 5-10, God gives Noah a sign; a rainbow, His covenant to all men that he would never again flood the entire earth. The word covenant is used in scripture over 270 times, the word promise is used over 100 times. When we are in the midst of a trial in our lives, sometimes it is the hardest time to recall the promises of God; however, this is the time when it is most important to remember what God has promised to us, especially if you are His child.

Something I have found to be a huge blessing to me, is really studying the message of hymns or biblicaly inspired songs that we sing, or hear on the radio on a daily/weekly basis. It is my hope to use this blog as a way of sharing the lyrics to songs that have been a blessing to me, and how they have blessed me and reminded me of a promise given by God, and in turn be a blessing to others.

Day 13: A Letter to Someone Who Has Been An Inspiration To You

As soon as I saw what today's post was supposed to be, I thought of a letter I wrote for a class at school. It was Biblical Womanhood, and I was supposed to write a letter to a godly woman who has impacted my life positively, and made my worldview what it is today. The first letter I wrote was to my Mom, and the second one I wrote was to a lady that was mentoring me throughout the semester. I didn't know her very well at the beginning, but as the semester went on she came to mean a lot to me. Here is the letter I wrote to her:


After an incredible Thanksgiving break, and a lot of reflection on the many blessings God has given me, I have been reminded what a blessing you have been in my life. I am very thankful that it was recommended that I begin meeting with you for godly counsel and mentoring. I have considered myself to have a ‘second mom’ in several different places that I have been away from home, and I hope it doesn’t bother you, but I feel as if I have another ‘second mom’ in you. Although in the beginning I didn’t know you very well, you made it easy to really open up and talk; to really share the burdens I had and the struggles I was going through.
            Not only do I appreciate the comfortable atmosphere you created while talking with you, but I also appreciate the tone you set before every conversation. Opening our conversations in prayer is not something I would have thought of, but it got my own thoughts re-routed and caused me to begin thinking on truth from the beginning. I would realize sometimes, before I even shared what was going on in my life, how God was using that circumstance to make me more like Him. Even when I couldn’t see what God was doing, the tone you set would remind me that I needed to take my burden to the One who had the answers I needed, rather than trying to answer my questions from human knowledge.
            I know that there are going to be struggles as I take the next step in my life, but I also have great confidence that you will be praying for me even from 1500 miles away. I count it a blessing that God put you in my path as an encouragement and a reminder to always look to him in difficult circumstances. I pray that God will put you in the path of another young woman who needs a ‘mother’s’ T.L.C., and that they will be as blessed as I have been. You have truly been a model of godly womanhood in my life!!
Sincerely,
