So, today Aunt Flo came to visit. Wasn't that sweet of her? Not really, I'd rather her stay home. But it is what it is. Something that was on my mind a lot today, was a couple weeks ago, in bible study, a girls was talking about how we need to be who we want to be with. It means, the kind of person you want in a boy friend, friend, acquaintance, whatever, is the kind of person you need to be. You want to be with someone who is nice, trustworthy, fun to be with etc... And you want those people to be with that kind of person. You don't want to be with someone who is nice, and that likes being with people who are mean. So i thought a lot about that today and how there are things in my life that if i was on the outside looking at someone else live my life, i might me like "whoa.. I never thought she would think that way or say those things" I'm always reminded by having my little sister, that i see doing thinks that i do and don't notice. The other day she said she wanted to get shorter shorts, and i catch her saying things and having attitudes that i do. No one said it was fair, and i defiantly did not pick it to be this way, but i cant decide the things about me that people see, especially kids, and want to be like. I cant say "OK pause for a minute, and ignore everything I'm about to do or say" as much as i wish it worked that way, it doesn't. When I'm baby sitting, i see a lot from the little girl who is maturing into becoming a young woman want to be and act "grown up" I am a major role model for her, and my sister, and any other girls who see me. I remember going to the store when i was little and seeing a random girl do something and id think how cool she was and how i want to be like her. I hate that sometimes i see these girls do things and i realize they learned it from me. Sooooo off on my little bunny trail, i thought "be you you want to be" went a lot with "be who you want them to be" Because i want nothing but the best from these girls, and i know role models play a huge role in how the mature, and compose themselves.
I hope, and pray that I'm not doing TOO bad of a job in leading them to a godly lifestyle and path that one day they will be role models for other girls, and they will have learned the right by then.
may.
