A Call To Holiness

I would like to begin with a story.

There was a young christian girl who married the young man she fell in love with in her teenage years. She had one great desire and that was to be a mother. The years past with many prayers and visits to doctors and many procedures. When the doctors delivered the news that they did everything possible, our couple came anew before God and prayed fervently for a child.

After ten years of marriage, God blessed them and she became pregnant. She was thrilled, humbled and thankful for the honor granted to her to become a mother. Just like Hannah, our young mother to be, dedicated the child she was carrying to the Lord. She began to pray for the child and ask for God’s blessings. God blessed her pregnancy and she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl. They named her “Hannah”.

Before the child was born, our young mother, being a teacher, knew how important it was to read to the child from a very young age. So, she bought some books to have handy when the child is born. One day when the baby was just a few month old our young mom decided to read something to the baby. She pick up a book and began reading the story of Snow White. As she was reading, our young mom, heard the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit saying “Is this really the story you want to read to your child? A story with witches? Is this not the child you dedicated to God?” Our mother stopped reading and answered “No Lord. These are not the stories I want to read to my child. Please teach me and guide me to raise my child for Your glory.” In that moment our mom closed the book returned it to the store. God remained faithful to our young mom and guided her in raising her daughter in holiness.

In a nutshell this is my story.
