Check Out What God is Up To Among Us...

It's time for our monthly Godly Girlfriend Groups Gathering. Even if you aren't meeting with a weekly Girlfriend Group, come and join us this Monday, Feb. 25, from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall at Selma First Baptist Church! I'm looking forward to what God will be doing this Monday!  

At last month's meeting we had several things planned, but God just stepped in and stole the show - and we loved it.  Arlie Rogers came and spoke to us about his recent missions trip to the Philippines to build a playground for the kids there.  God spoke to us each in amazing ways as Arlie shared what was on his heart.  One of the most memorable messages we received was that "God knows my name."  This message just kept coming up throughout the meeting until we just couldn't ignore it:  He knows MY name.  Wow.

Arlie also recommended the book The Wild Goose Chase, Reclaim the Adventure of Pursuing God  by  Mark Batterson. I have started reading it and it has already made me see my life with a different perspective.  Because of it, I am letting the Lord know that I am willing to go out on a limb for Him and he is leading me as I go.  One result is that one of my students came into my classroom before school last Friday and I got to lead her as she asked Jesus to be her Savior!  I haven't led anyone to the Lord in 40 years, but now there's a new sister in God's family because of my willingness and God taking me up on it!  Wow.

Now who knows what our amazing God will tell us at this meeting, but here's what we have planned:  Michilyn will lead us in a meaningful time of worship and I will be teaching on why and how to live with "Open Empty Hands". Chris will take the mystery out of "White Cross" by explaining what it is all about and what we can do to contribute to this amazing "Huddle Out" opportunity to reach our world with Christ's love.

That's the plan, but I am so looking forward to God stealing the show again!  Come expecting something from Him - you never know what will happen!

Livingly,
Cindy

P.S.  If you would like your own copy of the Wild Goose Chase, Arlie has offered to give a free book to anyone who wants one.  Just let me know and I will make sure you get one.

Godly Girlfriend Groups 4G Monthly Gathering Monday, Jan. 28

Hey there Girlfriends!  It's time for our January 4G Monthly Gathering of the the Godly Girlfriend Groups!  All women are invited, not just the ones that have been meeting weekly with a Godly Girlfriend Group. We will meet on Monday, Jan. 28 from 6:30 - 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall.  So  invite a friend and come on out for an evening of being together in worship, prayer, and learning from God's Word.

There's been a lot happening since our last meeting, I can't wait to hear what the Lord has been doing in your lives.  My talk will be on "Open, Empty Hands" with the scripture from Isaiah 40:3-5.  Bring your Bibles as we dig into God's Word together.  I'll see you there!

Livingly,
Cindy
