Have you reserved your spot yet for the Beautiful Bricklayers 101 Class starting this Sunday night?!
If you are a unmarried woman (either totally single, dating, or engaged) this is a class for you! We’ll be talking about the principles of becoming “hot and holy” women. First, we’ll hit on purpose and what it means to know the “why” in your life. We all have to grapple with this question before we can truly build a foundation for anything meaningful moving forward.
Next, we’ll dig into the concept of prayer and what it means to be a woman who has it going on in this department. Do you want to get equipped to draw near to Jesus in an intimate relationship? Do you want to know how you can be praying for your future marriage and that most important man in your life? Our second class will target these areas very specifically.
You can’t do any of this on your own! In the third class, we’ll be covering partnership and what it means to link arms with your community of family and friends to set you up for a successful season of preparation.
Last, you’ll love the challenge to get an action plan together in order to take strategic steps of preparation during your singleness. In the fourth class, we’ll talk about ways you can get geared up to implement what you’ve learned to live out a “hot and holy” life both now and in the future.
So, are you coming or what?! Get your Bible, journal, and a few girlfriends together for this catalyst experience that will empower you to be even more intentional with this important season in your life!
Sign up on the Facebook event page or send an email to Laura Vencill, and be sure to invite your friends!!!

Here’s a message
to meditate on as you celebrate motherhood:

Some lessons I’ve learned from my mommy:
:: Insert Pregnancy photo at 36+ weeks ::
Please pray for my birth, pray for your mom, pray for your future children (biological, adoptive, and/or spiritual), and pray for yourself to grow into a godly mother to the children God entrusts to your care and discipleship.
I leave you with a song (Generations by Sara Groves) that reminds us that “generations will reap what I sow… to my great, great, great granddaughter
live in peace”

your talents and gifts by investing them
.
Do
you
remember
the
Sound
of
Music
and
the
character
of
Maria?
She
was
someone
who
would
completely
lose
track
of
time
and
responsibility
when
she
was
roaming
the
green
Austrian
hillsides
with
exuberance
and
joy.
That
time
away
filled
her
with
life
and
the
awe
of
God.
Do
you
feel
the
freedom
to
“let
down
your
hair”
and
be
yourself
with
God?
To
spread
out
your
arms
and
sing
at
the
top
of
your
lungs,
to
put
aside
worries
and
simply
be
with
God
in
the
beauty
of
His
presence
and
His
creation?
If
it’s
been
awhile
since
you’ve
really
loosened
up
with
God,
I
encourage
you
to
set
aside
time
for
a
“God-‐date.”
Maybe
that
means
going
to
a
restaurant
and
ordering
a
creme
brulee
with
a
pot
of
tea
and
opening
up
your
Bible
to
listen
to
the
Holy
Spirit
speak.
Maybe
it
means
bundling
up
for
an
evening
walk
under
the
stars
alone
with
God
to
regain
perspective.
Maybe
it
means
going
to
the
beach
or
mountains
to
remember
His
power
and
broad
scope
of
His
reach.
Just
like
we
need
to
be
creative
in
our
relationships
and
be
deliberate
to
invest
time
and
energy
for
deeper
intimacy,
so
we
need
to
be
intentional
to
guard
our
time
and
interactions
with
the
God
of
the
universe
who
loves
us
and
is
mindful
of
us.
Sending
you
love
and
friendship,
Cristina
I
run
in
the
path
of
your
commands,
for
you
have
broadened
my
understanding.
Psalm
119:32
What
you
think:
1. Describe
one
of
your
favorite
memories
that
you
“let
loose”
with
God.
2. Write out some ideas
that
you
can
be
deliberate
and
creative
to
foster
a
rich,
fun,
yummy
relationship
with
the
Lover
of
your
soul
