3 Times in one week

As of tonight, I have had the same conversation 3 times this week with 3 different girls. :) The conversations are centered around how as women we need to set standards for ourselves in relationships and ask some difficult questions of what we our priorities are in said relationships. :) This is something I've been learning over the past year to two years. A friend of mine once said that we learn best when we have to teach it. I sure hope I am getting this after talking about this so much. :) I don't know if by having this conversation so much God wants me to do something with this?? The hard thing is that I am not polish. For the polish girls this is radical new stuff for them to hear and being a foreigner it's easier to chalk this up to the crazy American when it's against their culture (which what they don't know is that it's against ours too.). I wish there was a way for some polish women to say these things to these girls so that they hear it from someone in their culture. As I type this I realize that in the future if I am able to go and live in Afghanistan this will be something I will probably come across again...being a foreigner and having "radical" discussions just maybe with different topics. So there has to be a way to connect this information to them in a way that doesn't seem so foreign. Maybe that's what God wants to help me to learn. I really haven't faced much of that here besides language barriers. Please pray that there are some ways that I can learn to do this and conversations I have with people to also learn how to do this. Please also pray for these girls. :) Thanks!
