No, this is no typo.
There are one hundred twenty pregnant teenage girls in a town in Texas who attend a local high school and there is a ministry that has been designed to meet the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of these young ladies. Veronica shared the ministry with us and displayed photos on the screen of the activities they do to help the girls in their journeys of motherhood.
Veronica was a dynamic, hilarious, and honest speaker. She spoke of how God used her story and her experience and heart for others to get her directly involved in this Young Lives ministry. Her heart and passion for these young ladies was convicting and inspirational. I loved hearing her speak.
I'd like to share a few quotes that she said that really stood out to me.
"The Lord will mess.you.up. He will take you, the smallest pebble, and throw you into the water. You will cause the ripple effect."
"God does not expect us to save the world, but He does section off a territory for us."
"Ministry can kill you. Even Jesus needed a minute. It's okay to take a break. It allows others a chance to step up into their purpose and potential. Set boundaries for yourself."
"Some people are not running from God because nobody is chasing them with His love."
love this. love God. love does.
