Throughout the
year, Apostolic Girl was able to interview some amazing
individuals! There were artists, evangelist wives, cancer
survivors and amazing leaders throughout our organization! As
2010 draws in, we've taken a look back and highlighted some of
our favorite quotes and stories. Enjoy! |

Monica Matthews
from the Wilbanks Singers,
on the challenges of living a nomadic lifestyle.... |
|
"There’s
the old expression, “The grass is always greener on the other
side of the fence.” There were times I felt like maybe I was
missing out on some of the “normalcies” of life. I would
develop friends and then it would be time to pack up and move on
to the next place. I went to school in a travel trailer and
shared a room with my 9 year old brother! There are times I long
for the security of a home. I have learned however that the
Lord has not called us to a life of convenience to suit our
flesh. “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned
in whatever state I am, to be content:” (Philippians 4:11)
I’ve learned to appreciate the unique opportunities and
blessings I’ve been given. I wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve
had for anything!" |

Kara McCool
on accepting the fact that humans aren't perfect.... |
 |
|
"One struggle
of mine, especially as a young person, was feeling that God had
a plan in mind for my life but always feeling so far from where
I needed to be to accomplish that plan. However, I've learned
through the years that you don't have to be perfect to do a work
for the Lord, you just have to be willing! 2 Corinthians 12:9
says: And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power
of Christ may rest upon me. The Lord is basically saying
here, be happy you're not perfect! For when you understand that
you're not, then my perfection can be revealed in you and my
glory can rest upon you. Therefore we shouldn't glory in the
great things we accomplish but rather in the great things He can
accomplish in us through our imperfections! It's those imperfect
vessels that He can mold and make into what He desires!" |

Cancer survivor,
Amy Crumbaugh, on her
initial reaction to her diagnosis.... |
|
"It was
definitely a shock but then I remembered that my God was bigger
than any problem I had and that was all that mattered. So yeah,
I cried some but not really what you would call an ocean of
tears. Then I was ready to do something about it and fight
back." |

Andrea Harry
on her last piece of advice she wanted to leave for the AG
Viewers.... |

|
I've been
haunted by the lyrics to this Matthew West song: I
don't wanna go thru the motions. I don't wanna go one
more day without your all consuming passion inside of me. I
don't wanna spend my whole life asking what if I had given
everything instead of going through the motions? |
