A New Year...Walking in Obedience

We started our 4th year of Club Mom and Girlfriends today. There is an amazing group of women that come and we want to welcome women of ages in all stages of life to join us and experience all the wonderful fellowship we have.

This year, our theme verse is found in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."We talked about how in the Bible, Joshua told the priests who were carrying the ark to step foot in the fast moving, overflowing Jordan River and the waters would not part until they all stepped foot into that river. We talked about how much faith it took to be obedient and take those first few steps.

We talked about how God is calling each one of us to be obedient to His calling . We traced our feet, put our name on one foot and wrote down where we feel God is calling us to be obedient on the other foot. Then we put our feet on the wall with one foot stepping into the river as a reminder that we need to take that first step of obedience before God will hold back the waters in our life.

We put special yellow feet in the rushing water of the river to remind us of Sandi, who is daily walking in obedience to God as she is working to recover from her double lung transplant in North Carolina.

We look forward to an exciting year, leaning on each other, helping each other grow, and watching how our obedience to God will provide blessing beyond our wildest dreams.

See you next week for a DVD of Renee Swope, a speaker for Proverbs 31 Ministries.
