I'm going to break in here and offer some praise to God for all that this little corner of the Internet is becoming. Last Sunday, I was catching up with a friend after the service and I overheard two women that I don't know exchange comments about the blog and about how one particular entry had really impacted them and helped them not feel so alone.
Wow. That's just exactly what I had in mind when this all got started.
Then, last week I started receiving posts from women whom I never even thought to ask to write anything, and their pieces are extraordinary.
And that was just never even on my radar. Amazing. Beautiful.
Because I have the privilege of perspective, I can see that God is beginning a work in our body. He is knitting us together, sisters. It is a beautiful sight to see.
If you are reading this, I want to ask you to pray for this ministry and for the developing women's ministry in our body. As women, we're under a lot of pressure (I can hear your "Amen's"!) and it can be very difficult to make the time to get to know each other on a personal and spiritual level. I hope the blog is helping with some of that--at the very least, exposing the fact that we're all a lot more alike than different. Our common denominator is Christ, and though God is creative in His design of us, we all share the same experiences of grace touching our hearts.
Most of you should know that we have a Women's Retreat coming up November 5th-6th. Heidi has posted a couple of times about this here and here. Sisters, pray for this retreat and pray about attending this retreat. We need to get away with our Jesus. We do. We need direction, purpose, healing...quiet (I hear those 'Amen's' again!) He has carved out this time for you. He has something to teach you, love to give to you. And the added bonus will be spending time with each other!
If you would like more information about the retreat or have any questions, please leave a comment here or e-mail me at: wegather2gether(at)gmail.com
Blessings to you and yours!
