So she passed her test. We have a new permit driver. Latisha just finished Drivers Ed and passed her test. Now she gets to drive the Yukon. Isn't that every 15 year old's dream. I went to pick her up and she was so excited. I got out of the drivers side of the car and she said "not the Yukon." I must admit it was a bit overwhelming the first time I drove a SUV and I had been driving for a while. She did great but was a bit close to the side of the road. It is a different perspective. She has been driving a Fusion for Drivers Ed so this was a bit different. She'll get used to it. :) It is so fun for me to watch my kids hit new mile stones. I almost cried when I saw her walking out of the building with a very big smile and glowing. She was nervous for her test but she got one of the top grades in the class.
As you may have noticed from some of my post I have a huge passion for purity among our youth. If you have a daughter I highly recommend the book "Before You Meet Prince Charming." It is so very good. Latisha has read it twice and Sierra is currently reading it. I'm not sure where the Lord is taking us, but Latisha and I really want to get a Bright Lights group started. There aren't any around here and I just love what I have seen about that ministry. We have an amazing girl from our church who is 19 that is willing to help lead and another family that is considering working with us too. There are also several other girls that would like to be in the group. I think I just started out thinking about just doing a group with my own girls but I would really like to see this grow. Girls need a peer group that is not living according to the world but according to the Word. I am listening to the CD's and am looking forward to where the Lord might lead us with this. I see so many girls so cute and innocent in there tweens and then something flips in them. This group is focused on the ages of 10-13 where we can encourage the girls to let God and His Word lead them in the paths of righteousness. Rebellion is not something all children go through. The Bible refers to it as the sin of witchcraft, 1 Samuel 15:23. Not a good thing. I pray we can instill within our children, hearts that are focused on God and they will be radiant for the Lord. Have a great day
