Welcome to Camp Funk

Growing

When I was young and pretty much throughout my whole life I  always knew(my mother always told me this)that God made me for specific tasks and for who I really was.

It didn't matter if I didn't go to college

I worked 3 jobs and paid for everything on my own

we didn't have much money

flashy clothes

I had good grades and dreams in my heart since I was little

I just wanted to open my own orphange in Milwaukee or

have a farm with all the ugly animals that get left behind at the animal shelter including horses and pigs

or go into the  peace corps

My clothes never matched

My mom was ok with me dressing the way I did

coloring or doing my hair the way I wanted as long as I got good grades and was a good person

Free spirited and happy for the most part

A wise women grows in understanding who she really is

She does not compare the inside of herself to others

I never wanted to look like others or wear what they were wearing or have a body like they had 

even with a eating disorder

I was happy just the way I was

just loved food and became a food addict

I just simply loved who I was on the outside

I never dated until I was 18

Boys were my buddies I played sports with or cards not boyfriends

Never liked the caddieness of girls, the gossip and the girly girl things...wasn't what I cared about at all

I never cared what others thought of me or how I looked

I got picked on
and used by all sorts of girls my nickname was "Sasquatch"

 I didn't really care

I think the only reason I got voted to be on the prom court was from all the boys...

But, GOD loved me and my parents did

I had friends from all walks of life and I loved it.

I just hung out with whoever I wanted to whenever I wanted to

That is all I needed and I loved it

Out of high school and years later I was still the same but with many more things going on...we'll save that for down the road.

A women who understands who she is in God's sight

Accepted (Ephesians 1:5)

Secure(Phillipians 1:6)

Significant (John 15:16)

A women's identity is not bound up in what she has, how she looks or what she wears.

Her identity is secured in who she is as a beloved child of God

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do(Ephesians 2:10)

Do you know how treasured you are to HIM?

Ask Him to help you grow and understand who you are.

Sometimes it's hard to think of yourself as a piece of artwork created to be just who you are.

Allow him to shape your character and your life

Your deep desires will be met as you grow in walking with the Saviour
