Happy New Year!

CG Girls,

I'm enjoying some afternoon coffee with Casting Crowns piping through the speakers and realizing today is winding down quicker than I expected.  What are you up to?  I was thinking...and you know I like to think...if I could have you all over to my house tonight for coffee I would.  I'm in the mood to talk about my favorite subject: Jesus!

If you came by tonight ( admittedly that would be ALOT of coffee but we'd manage somehow!) I think I would tell you this:

• I'm stinkin' excited about getting together with all of you in just a few weeks!   I want to celebrate what God is doing in CG with the women He is choosing to use to do it!  Yep, thats you!


• Over Christmas week, a CG Girl drove past the house where our Project Crazy Girl's live and guess what she saw?  She saw a Christmas Tree in their window -- with ALL of the note cards that you wrote hanging on the tree! Is that not totally amazing?  When I got the text with that msg on it -- it absolutely made my day.


• Tomorrow's to-do:  going through over 400 photographs that our beautifully gifted CG Photographer,  CaSandra Maynard took at PCL.    We're putting together video to show you at January's event.


• Which reminds me to buy waterproof mascara.  Why can't I remember to do this? :)


• I'm really digging the fact so many of you are inviting your friends on FB to come out to the next event in Jan.


• Have you been flickin' your BIC in the new year girls?   Because. Ignite. Consume.   Have I ? Yes ma'am.


• I hope you have January 27th inked on your calendar!   It's our first event of 2012 and we can't wait!  CGGirls will be partnering with Care Packages for Troops Michigan Chapter and collecting the following items for troops in Afghanistan:
  
  
  
  
  
  • Individual powdered drink mixes (kool-aid, crystal light,etc.)
  
  
  • Socks for men/women: white or green crew socks
  
  
  • Puzzle Books
  
  
  • Healthy snacks (protein bars, nuts, beef jerky, crackers, etc.)
  
  
  • Ramen Noodle Cups, Microwaveable Mac & Cheese Cups
  
  
  
  
  
  

Knowing how incredibly generous CGGIRLS are -- I can't wait to see God move through you!

Only a few more weeks and we will be having a Girl's Night with a God Focus....we call it CommonGround!

Be there?  Me, too!
