Progress Report!!

Hello SISTERS!! <<<< Ha. I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying that! :) Day 9 and we have had over 400 hits to the page, 11 official members have JOINED, & countless others have either joined anonymously and/or connected via email!!! Whichever category YOU fall in to - know that I am so GLAD you are here! And 400+ hits?! You all are sharing the site!!! For that, words can't begin to express how thankful I am - but please accept my humble and sincere "Thank You" anyway, as a token of my appreciation. Keep sharing! Keep inviting the ladies in your life to join us here! God has something BIG in store for all of us - BIG! We don't want anyone to miss out! 

Already, our lives are being impacted and connections are being made! To everyone who has posted and commented - thank you! It is your comments and feedback that will take this page to another level! Whether you know it or not you have already inspired me! It's one thing for God to put a vision and/or a task before you, but it is another thing to operate in that truth. Sometimes it can be scary. You don't know how it's going to be received, but you do what God asks of you and you put the rest in His hands. That's exactly what I did with this blog and I want to thank you for responding. Your introductions and feedback let me know that I am right on track. God is moving. On that note, I'd like to take a moment to recognize two of our NEW SISTERS: Carlisha and Alexis!! Carlisha and Alexis, thank you for taking the time to introduce yourselves. I truly enjoyed getting to know a little more about each of you!  I noticed that both of you shared your spiritual homes in your introductions - I love it! If anyone is in either Las Vegas or Phoenix, you have Sisters there who I am sure wold love to have you visit and worship with them if you do not already have a spiritual home! If you haven't already done so, click on the "Meet Your Sisters" tab and check out their introductions - and while you are there, leave one of your own!! I can't wait to "meet" you!! And I am not alone - "Meet Your Sisters" has received the most hits and traffic after the "home" page, which tells me that you all are looking forward to meeting your sisters too. Let's get these introductions flowing!

As I stated in the "About Me" section of this page, growing up I was the only girl! I've always wanted a Sister. You can only imagine how many times I prayed God would send me a sister. Little did I know back then, that He had something even better in mind! I was thinking small - ONE sister. But God truly knows best and He answers our prayers. It's not always WHEN we want it or HOW we (think) we want it - and let me tell you - that is a GOOD thing because truthfully, we don't always know what's best for us. We can't see every angle and we don't know what lies ahead. Trust me, we might know what feels good to us, seems right to us, and might even make us happy at the moment... but if God has closed a door or taken something from you that you felt was "good" for you... don't lose hope. Perhaps He did that because that was what YOU thought was "good" for you, but He has something in store for you that exceeds and surpasses "good", He has GREAT things in store for you! Maybe it was a job or a relationship, a business opportunity or a home you had your eye on, whatever it was that didn't work out the way YOU had planned, maybe just maybe, you were thinking too small (smile). Remember, Proverbs 3:6 tells us, "In ALL thy ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct thy path." I sincerely believe that - and my life reflects it. I was only hoping for ONE sister. I didn't get that... but I continued to acknowledge Him first and He continued to direct my path.... and now look =). I have all of you - and vice versa! "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen". ~ Ephesians 3:20 ... He has most certainly done exceedingly and abundantly above all that I asked - or even thought to ask... and this is only the beginning! As bad as it may hurt when we are going through it - we need to Thank God, He doesn't let us settle for OUR "good" knowing He has HIS "GREAT" in store for US all along! When we lose something or a relationship comes to an end - it doesn't have to hurt as bad, if we remind ourselves of this awesome truth. Just as He's done so for me - He will most certainly do so for you!

I thank God for all of you and am elated to have you in my life. Please make the most of this page. Post your comments and share your experiences, thoughts, advice, etc. I don't want to do ALL of the talking (smile). This is OUR page. Make sure you check out the other tabs on the page. "Worth Sharing" - if you have something worth sharing, please do so. You can share anything there that you feel would be a blessing to one of your sisters - books worth reading, inspirational quotes, health care information, safety information, vacations worth taking, community programs, community events, current events, songs, poetry, - you name it, you can share it. Remember, we are here to inspire, encourage, and push each other towards becoming better women - in whatever way we can. So far I've shared a book that I think EVERYONE should read, a women's self-defense class (offered nationwide), and information on how to get your annual credit report. There is a lot going on on this page - make sure you check out the other tabs on a regular basis to see what your sisters are talking about!
