Women's Night Out

I had a chance to go to the FISH Women's Night Out event tonight, featuring Rebecca St James.   Rebecca spoke about her stand for purity and the struggles and pain she went through in Waiting.   She is now married; and it is encouraging to hear her story.

There were a couple of things that stood out this evening:

• In one of her songs in which she had written about dealing with singleness, I was reminded of a verse from Ecclesiastes 3:11a "He has made everything beautiful in its time."     This is actually sort of the concluding statement in that well known passage on there being a time for everything and a season for every activity.  This can be another verse to encourage waiting on God for His Timing.
• Rebecca's brothers also sang, and they are now the group "For King and Country".    This was a reminder to me that we ARE children of the KING; and that we live for HIM and for HIS people.   But, it is also a reminder that as children of the KING, that means we are princes and princesses.  How incredible that He has bestowed upon us the privilege of being part of HIS royal family.  Though I do not deserve it, nor do I feel like a princess; yet, He has adopted me into HIS family and made me joint heirs with Christ.   Amazing!
