Brave Girl Boots! 60 Day Challenge

68.   

As I write this we have that many days until we gather on our common ground.      Honestly, it can't come fast enough for me.

We are finalizing all the details, announcing them soon.

Very excited ya'll!    Seriously.

The last few weeks this scripture has been jumping out at me from behind every bush that comes along my path.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."  John 15:5

I'm discovering that trying to live a life worthy of the call of Jesus ( 2 Thes 1:11 // With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. )  can only happen if I remain in God.

And my natural default is to NOT do that.    I'm more of the let me see how this goes and I'll get back to you Jesus if I need help.      Anyone else?

If I don't keep myself on a short leash,  I easily slip into self-sufficiency.

I heard this statement today, "If God seeds us with vision, we are able in Christ. "  

Not able alone,  but able in Christ.

Confession,  I have been too safe with the  seed of vision God has given me.

What about you?

 I'm going to put my brave girl boots on, lean into God desperately,  and pray like crazy.

Will you join me?    Beginning  on March 4, 2014  we are beginning a 60 day challenge.

Brave Girl Boots! 60 Day Challenge:  

1.   Pray daily for God to plant a seed of vision for your life. 

2.  Pray daily for the Holy Spirit to give you the sensitivity to see a need you can fill THAT day.

3.  Pray daily for the bravery to act on it.

Are you in?   Let us know by filling out the form below.   You'll receive a special enews each day of the 60 day challenge.

I believe that vision breeds vision.  We want you to share with us what God shows you during the Brave Girl Boots!  60 Day Challenge.

CGgirls, lets hold our differences loosely and love each other fiercely.   Lets major on the things that matter... Jesus and people.

Grace. Me?

"O what love
No greater love
Grace, how can it be
That in my sin
Yes, even then
He shed His blood for me."

Sitting in my office listening to Kari Jobe singing...

...such stinging words of grace.

It's the day before our 19th CG event.  Unbelievable to me.

We weren't sure we'd get through one let alone nineteen!

What a privilege it has been to serve God through the gathering of women (CGgirls) who love Him, who are unsure of Him, who are disappointed in Him, maybe even disappointed in the women you see in the mirror.  No matter what you think, the seats of CG are filled with women who fit all of these.        You are ALL welcome to CommonGround tomorrow night.

Is that you today?  Even if you go to church every Sunday but you know church has turned into a club.   Are you wondering how did I get here?  Is the path you are now walking heavy with compromise, shame and guilt?

How did a once surrendered heart get so stinkin far from God?

If that's you, please come tomorrow night?.   Let the One who knows you (not just the you others see, but the real you) be your Healer.  Will you let Him close enough to caress the hair from your eyes,  lift your tear stained cheeks upward, and remind you: It's you,  It's always been you.

"Yes, even then He shed his blood for me."
