Ok - just got off the phone with a precious girl given grace (and let me tell you - this girl I'm talking about GIVES grace and I love that so much about her). Any who- she was at Lifeway buying her book!! YAY! She suggested a weekly conference call. I love that. If anyone wants to do that I think its great.
Be the leader. All a leader does is say "BRING IT ON", so don't fear that. Its just the one who insists it happen. That's it! A "facilitator" is a better word for a leader in this setting. So don't shrink back and assume you aren't good enough. Believe me YOU have what it takes and YOU are by no accident or coincidence in this. Can you imagine if Paul said "well I have just messed up too big to be used"? Um can I just assure you he messed up big time and was murdered for absolutely surrendering his life to Christ! Sorry peeps - Our messes and failures and sin have us humble and relatable and spill out grace to others. Let's face it - those who need grace are some of the sweetest encouragers we know. Those of us who need extra grace know to give it in extra doses!
Drum roll.. Or jaws music..
TODAY you need your book.
Read the intro through page 10.
Go to you tube and get to know Jen Hatmaker. Several videos of 7 interviews and precious videos of her adopting 2 children.
Kim will be telling us her rules for a 7 day fast soon. This will be the first week which is food excess. Kim has a reason behind the choices she made so we can identify with 3rd world countries and poverty.
You and your group can modify and do how you wish but please let us know how you are doing. Laughter is definitely a must. Funny rocks period. I've learned we can inspire to the bone while laughing!
I'm so excited to see where God takes you in your journey. I will be praying continuously for a cause to become yours to make a change. James 1:27-28 and Isaiah 58 are OUR mission. One thing is certain - we are the wealthiest, most educated, and most resourced women in the world. Now may our hearts break for what breaks the Lord's heart so we can use these resources for eternity! YOU are the one needed-
See you tomorrow right here!
Toodles!
