I'm currently teaching a Bible Study for Mothers of Daughters. It's super exciting. We are going through,"5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter" followed by, "Your Girl". Love that Moms are equipping themselves in God's Word to raise up the next generation for Him. These Mommas are just so precious to me and I know God is going to do amazing things through them, their relationship with their daughters, and through their daughter's lives.
Also, I'm loving that my man and I are getting plugged in to some new areas at church. I just love church. I am flat out a church girl. Sunday mornings come and I'm just pumped to go to God's House and worship Him...even though I have a standing date with God every morning, there is just something about coming together corporately to worship our Savior. If you aren't plugged in to a church...just want to encourage you to find a place and get plugged in.
Check this video out...it continues to challenge me
I love this band, Casting Crowns. They address real issues through music.
This should be a wake up call for all Christians. HELLO. People are there. CRYING out. Watching you. They know who you are. Notice how the video shows the Christians literally crossing the street, sitting in coffee shops, or worse, actually walking into church minding their own business, and not even thinking twice about the people around them.
Those of us that have been in church for awhile can get comfortable with everything. We know everyone, park and sit in the same spots each week, shake the same people’s hands, discuss life with the same friends, and maybe throw in a little change here and there. Bottom line, and I am just as guilty of this, too often we get caught up in our comfort zone without even realizing that there are literally people right next to us hurting, crying out, wanting and needing maybe just a hello, a hug, someone to accept them for who they are and guide them along the way.
My heart hurts so bad and the tears start rolling down my face when the “lost girl” is getting out of her car and the “church lady” looks at her horribly because of what she looks like...seriously? She didn’t even make it to the door. What’s to make her want to come inside now? What’s to make her ever want to come to Jesus? Really, people? Really? Is that what “Christians” want to be known as? Judgmental and critical? Is anyone hearing me on this? These are serious issues.
At the end of the video they talk about how “he” is running. The girl finally connected to another girl at the cafe who decided to take a little extra time to show God’s love, but there is always someone else “running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction.”
With Easter right around the corner...there are going to be tons of people that are going to be sitting next to you at church maybe even in your seat. Please be mindful of this and make the extra effort to show them the love of Jesus. They may only come to church for Christmas and Easter, but this may be the day that changes their forever; changes their whole life. This might be the day it finally clicks with them.
Embrace them, welcome them, make them feel accepted before they even get into the church. We ALL need the love and mercy from our Heavenly Father.
Last week at church, they showed this video. I just loved it.
Obviously this is what NOT to do, but it is so stinking funny. I am a HUGE HUGE fan of the Skit Guys. Several years ago before they got big, we got to see them at a youth worker’s dinner. They are amazing!
INVITE!!! INVITE!!! Invite people to join you this Easter at church.
PiNK Ministries is not just any girl's ministry, but a ministry passionate about the Spiritual growth and relationship of girls of all ages and all denominations with Jesus Christ.
If you’re in the Houston area, I’d love to see you at one of our Bible studies!
