Life Group

I love my Life Group.
Laughter, tears, snacks, birthdays, prayers, awkward transitions, highs and lows... Such a fun night. I love hearing heart's cry of the women in the Stirring community.
It's unbelievable to me how similar some of our struggles are.
Going around the group tonight, there was one resounding theme: Discouragement.
Discouragement in our relationships
Discouragement in our jobs
Discouragement in who we are
Discouragement all around.
Something really powerful happens when a group of women come together and share their hearts, revealing lies we've been believing, and then pray for one another, releasing God's truth in our lives.
God has so much freedom for us. And this group is where it will begin for some. I'm stoked to be part of it. To watch lives being transformed. To share in this amazing time.

Tonight, just like many more Tuesday nights to come, I'm thankful for my Life Group.
And for Life Group Birthdays :) Because Shelby bakes treats, and they're ALWAYS good!

A new season

I love the first night of Life Group.
Who's going to show up?
What will they say?
How many awkward silences will there be?
How many people will I know?
How many NEW people will be there?
Who will do most of the talking?
How badly will I embarrass myself?

Tonight was the first night of Life Group.
Shelby (my roommate) and I are leading a Women's group this Spring.
In one word, tonight was perfect.
What an amazing mix of women!
Some married, some single, some with kids, some without, some newly married, some divorced. It's perfect. I can't wait to see what God does with this season and this amazingly unique group of women. The overwhelming cry coming from the women in this group is that we ALL want to be united and connected with other women in our community. My hope for this group is that strong bonds are formed, friendship begin, and God works in powerful ways through those relationships.
I'm excited.
Excited for a new season
Excited for what God is going to do in and through this Life Group
Excited for the stories that will come out of this group
Excited for the possibility of lives changed through this group
I'm just plain excited.
