The other day I was surfing around on the web and reading about other Girls Ministries and came across a blog that just made me "giggle". I would say that I would have to agree with the entry and wanted to share with you....this pretty much sums up why I love what I do.
This is the top 10 reasons to love girls ministry.
10. Girls come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities. Like snowflakes or fingerprints, no two girls are exactly the same. And they are loved by God as uniquely as they have been created.
9. Wherever you find girls, you'll find purses and cute shoes!
8. Girls dream. They want to be athletes, musicians, artists, and creative thinkers. They are chemists and doctors and balerinas and Marines and writers and shoppers and apologists. The world is wide open to them. Their optimism is contagious.
7. Girls have brains! Girls are smart, thoughtful and contemplative. And they will challenge you—often when you least expect it.
6. Girls have heart! Girls are full of feelings and emotions and can be expressive and demonstrative. They are passionate, caring, confused, apathetic, enthusiastic, angry, sad, happy, perplexed, perplexing, vexed and vexing, discouraged and full of hope. To know them is to see the full range of human emotion—sometimes in a matter of a few minutes!
5. Girls giggle. At everything and nothing. They are a reminder not to take myself so seriously.
4. Girls talk. And talk…and talk…and talk…and talk….
3. Girls are immature. While this can be extremely frustrating at times, it can also be a gift. Watching girls transform from a gangly sixth grader to a confident college student is amazing. And to know that you had a just a small part in that change is a reward beyond any dollar amount.
2. Girls love. They love each other. They love you. They love God. And to get to watch them love is a gift.
1. Girls can change the world. And their neighborhood, their school, and your church. The potential in each of them is immeasurable.
