Many people see submission as a bad thing. A totally outdated, wife waiting on her husband hand and foot type thing. People think its degrading and wrong, but in all actuality we submit to different things every day. We submit to our government and our influential friends, we submit and give into sin and the things we want most in this world. Feminist see it as a degrading, disrespectful act, when Feminisim is one of the most selfish movements that has no sustainable philosophy, a fabricated history, and an incoherent morality. It does not bring freedom and fufillment for women, and it will not right any injustices. However, that is not the point. I'm not saying, " Hey go out and submit to anyone who has authority over you." Don't get me wrong, I believe there are ceratin lines to draw in a marriage as far as what my husband can tell me what to do and what I can't do and such. Submission is about something greater. It is about submitting to an everlasting God that loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us undeserving women. Even the feminists. In order to grow and be Godly women, who strive and yearn for everything that the Lord is, in order to be fully caught up in Him and not in the earthly things like being single, and self images that are fakely projected out there as being the only thing that is beautiful, we must submit to Him. Once we submit, His will for our lives will follow and we will become wholly His. And that is the only way to live, being wholly God's. The Lord has already been at work here at camp. He has provided and amazing staff to run this place and is already revealing to me reasons why I need to be here. I just hope and pray that He continues to open up doors, mend and build new reletionships, and that He uses each and every single one of us to our full potential. My prayer is that we can each hold the other accountable and help each other grow to the fullest potential in God, while pouring out everything we have to fufill and glorify Him in every way possible. God has already provided me a great accountability partner, Kendall. She's already amazing and I am so excited to take this journey with her, even if it is only for a short time. The Lord put us both here for a purpose, and we are both looking forward to fufilling it!

About Me
- alaborde
- I am a laid back girl who is beginning a new chapter in my life. I'm putting on my big girl panties and entering what we call "the real world"! I love life and my friends; I love to love and to be loved. I believe God will always provide me a way even when I'm mad and as a good friend of mine says being a chach!
