Answered Prayers

I have been praying for a Prayer Ministry Leader for our Women's Ministry and asked others to join me in this prayer. I've asked God to bring me a Godly woman, one who has leadership skills, who is a good organizer but most important loves to pray! Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to go over the SHAPE profile with a beautiful woman who I didn't really know. I have to tell you, her SHAPE profile met the job description for the prayer leader to the T!

When we share our needs with others, and they are also seeking God's will to fulfill the need, it is amazing what can happen! I knew that God would seek her out, would place on her heart a desire to get involved with women's ministry and he used another woman in our church to seek her out.

At our last leadership meeting, I shared with the ladies my desire to find a woman after God's own heart, one who would be the perfect person to leader our Prayer Ministry. Kelly spoke up about a woman in her LifeGroup who had just recently told her that God had placed on her heart to be praying for the women in our church. I contacted her and asked her to fill out her SHAPE profile and then we would get together.

Last night Janet Waters came over and we spent 3 hours getting to know each other and review her SHAPE profile. We talked about the women's ministry and the need for prayer and praise for our ladies. This position was perfectly made for Janet. She shared with me how she had recently went up to the altar at church and asked God to "use" her. She how know idea how he would, or when he would, but she knew he would! We both agree that we now know how God inteded to use her, God brought her to this place and she is so excited to be getting involved with Women's Ministry. Janet humbly and with great excitement accepted the role as our new Prayer and Praise Leader for Women's Ministry.

Will you join me in prayer for this beautiful woman, ask God to grant her the wisdom, discernment, energy, and enthusiasm throughout this journey?

Janet will be standing by the lamp on most Sundays after the 11am service, if you need prayer, please go introduce yourself and meet Janet. If you have any prayer requests, please email them to women@getlife.tv until we have an email account set up for her.

God Bless our Heavenly Father! Praise Him for His desires to fulfill all our needs. Amen!

The Note - Book Club Selections

Last night the book club selected their next book. It's called The Note by Angela Hunt.

Here's a brief synopsis found on Amazon about the book.
When the unthinkable happens...En route from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Tampa International, Flight 848 bursts into flames and crashes into Tampa Bay. For one week, newspaper columnist Peyton MacGruder and her fellow reporters cover one of the nation's worst air disasters in years with overwhelming and numbed emotions.
Then a woman Peyton's never met gives her a plastic bag that has washed up behind her house. The bag contains a note, almost certainly from the doomed flight, with a simple yet wrenching message: T- I love you. All is forgiven. -Dad
Combing through the passenger list to find the victims whose children's names begin with T, Peyton is determined to deliver the note to its proper owner. A quest which will prove as important to Peyton's own life as to the mysterious T.

The next meeting of the book club is April 6th at 7pm at Brenda Oruno's home. Any questions about the book club please contact Kristen Coblentz - borsirk@verizon.net

Counting down the days!

18 More days until our HUGE Women's Ministry Kickoff! This is just a little reminder to SAVE THE DATE! March 16th, 7pm at the church. And guess what, we're recruiting a 'few good men" including Mr. Tony to watch kids that night so more of our amazing women can come! I promise you this will be an event you won't want to miss!!!!!!!!!! More details coming soon :)

Someting to think about...

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence...
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

Thanks for sharing Christa!

CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTA & DEAN!!!

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

Overwhelmed with answered prayers!

I just have to share with you how completely overwhelmed I am with pure excitement for our women's ministry! I have been amazed with how God is answering prayers right now. I have been on my knees asking God to bring leaders into the women's ministry who love God and have a passion for exercising their unique spiritual gifts. Let me share what God has been doing in Women's Ministry the past 3 weeks!

I have met with 3 ladies and went through their SHAPE profile, and then found them a place to grow the gifts that God has blessed them with in Women's Minstry. Yesterday I spent 5 hours with two ladies who have a heart for communication and want to help us with our print and web communication. They are overflowing with ideas for newsletters, our blog, our website and much much more and have now been empowered with the ability to take these opportunities on! I have been meeting with one woman who has had a dream of bringing kids together in a fun safe environment while allowing their parents to fellowship and date each other! She's writing her ideas down and we are going to help make her dream a reality! I have met with two of our ladies have a heart for outreach into our community and want to share the blessings we women have to offer. They are actively researching opportunities for us to share God's love! At our first leadership women, 13 ladies gathered in my home and we came up with a new name for our Women's Ministry and collaboratively created a mission statement for us to focus on. We have booked our retreat for May and it's already starting to come together. This is just the start of what has been happening in this ministry!!!

You are not going to want to miss out on our Women's Kickoff on March 16th. Block that night out on your calendar - 7pm at the church! You are going to hear some of the most amazing events and programs that are being planned - and of course see the new design for Women's Ministry. Tt will also be a fun night for us to spend some time getting to know each other - yes we have some fun ice breakers planned!

Please continue to pray for leadership of our Women's Ministry. If you have any ideas, suggestions or are ready to step up and lead, PLEASE email me! women@getlife.tv! I can't wait to hear from you!

Love and Blessings,
Lisa Hudson
your Women's Ministry Director
