Me, too! I'm sipping a hot mug of coffee and listening to the song Stay Amazed:
"Forever You will stand. Your kingdom has no end. Oh, Holy God I stay amazed. You are so much more than words could ever say. Oh, Holy God I pour out my praise...on the One who never ceases to amaze me. "
Our next CG is THIS Friday 7pm at Connection Church...our focus: sister2sister project. We're collecting items and by faith filling 1000 bags for My Sister Song ( a ministry for women in strip clubs). We are collecting lip gloss, nail polish, individually wrapped chocolate, lighters and dangle earrings.
Big SHOUT out to Metro South Church, Rivers of Living Water and Calvary Baptist Church for taking this sister2sister project back to their churches and promoting it! AMAZING!
As if that wasn't blessing enough...guess what was delivered today?
Someone donated 500 lighters to sister2sister project. Is our God amazing or what? This particularly touched me since I know for some of us buying lighters has been a source of inner conflict. Here is my heart on this issue: I trust the women of My Sister Song (who gave us the list of items) completely. They are the ones who have been trained specifically to minister to the women in the strip clubs. Secondly, the gift bags we are putting together will no doubt show these women who are so far from God they are loved. But you know what those lighters will show them? They are accepted. And they need to feel accepted before they'll receive love. Just like you and me. And I don't know about you but I remember where I was when Christ accepted me. It was a rainy Wednesday night.
Where were you ?
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteWe were Social Workers ( always friendly to everyone) when we were little at Marquette ( that is why we were friends) and now again. I am so proud of the work that you are doing. This is your true calling Laura. Please keep me informed of future events.
