Once, not long ago, there upon the Southeastern campus, within the Spence dorms, lived two beautiful, intriguing, lovely, smart, and unique yound ladies. With their heads held high, and God strongly withing their lives, they went throughtout their days bringing such joy and laughter to those in need. I can easily remember the day when I first met them together. I walked up to their door very slowly, and with an uneasy feeling burning within. I knocked silently, yet loud enough for them to hear, still feeling scared and full of uncertainties. Unsertainties on how their reactions would be to a stranger wanting to become friends, and to experience a new challenge with them. A challenge of a new environment, new faces, and a new atmosphere. To my surprise I discovered two outgoing, smiling faces, behind the mysterious closed doors. They allowed me to enter, showing me nothing but kindness and a chance to briefly share their worlds. Their words were soft, yet expressive, and their dispositions were neither stuck-up or unfriendly. My time grew short so I left their presence, hoping to return at a later date to experience more of their world.
Deep within my heart I would have believed that God created these two out of one. That they once had shared a life, a body, and most important a personality. However pondering upon his creation he soon came to terms that two of the same would bebetter then one. So just as a knife would split into an apple, the Lord split the woman. Instead of now looking upon a hardened outside, so shiney and pure, we noticed two halves both different in their own ways. Although differnet they still have the same fairness, and sweetness in which the world is waiting to experience.
The Lord split the two in order to allow the world to experience the sweet juices of joy, and laughter, that seem to be waiting to pour out those in need of its fresh anointing. He split up their lives, bodies, and especially their personalities to allow the world to discover a new treasure. I am sure that God had many reasons for doing so. Maybe for the reason of, he thought that the world cound't handle one of a kind, and that two would complete the job better. Or maybe for the reason that he believed that the world would be better if two splitting personalities shined upon it.
In my eyes God did a wonderful job creating these young ladies. He is not only allowing a chance for those in need to be helped, but a chance for his glory to shine through the eyes of those he has made in his own image. These two women are special not only in the eyes of the Lord, but in the eyes of their families, friends, and especially in the eyes of those they encounter to share the gospel of our Lord. All eyes upon them, yet they seem to have no worry in the world. They go about their days as normal as before living forever in the arms of the savior, helping to spread the love he wants to give to those in desperate need of a new life with him. I pray that they continue to do the work that God has for them, and that they will be a blessing to everyone around. Let his light shine through you every where you may go.
