Come prepared to openly and transparently discuss LOVE! Remember, it's PURPOSEFUL ~ EVOLUTIONARY ~ [scripture-based] DIALOGUE!!! Who doesn't have something to say and/or share about "love"??? We've all loved and been loved in one way or another. Whether it's family love, romantic love, God's love... There are many dynamics to love, ways to show/express love, types of love, etc... We'll talk about all of that at the Mini! But for now, I'll leave you with this to ponder...
This is what Jesus had to say about love:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘LOVE your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40
* Sounds like LOVE is pretty important - definitely something worth discussing and digging into. *




Will we see YOU there?!

Yet I Smile... To God be the Glory!

My daughter isn't feeling well... and as a mother, seeing her sick and/or in pain, is the worst feeling ever. As I was sitting here thinking of her, and how I would do anything I could to take her pain away... it hit me. God is the exact same way with us - His children. It hurts Him to see us sad, depressed, in pain, hopeless, etc... The ONLY difference - He's already done everything to take OUR pain away!! He made the ultimate sacrifice, while we were yet in sin. He sent His only Son, to die on the cross, that we would have LIFE and that more abundantly.  He has not left us unprepared or unequipped. He has NOT given us a spirit of fear. He left His word with us that we might write it on the tablets of our hearts, that it might renew our spirits, as often as we read it, apply it, and live it. He's told us that in HIS PRESENCE and at His right hand is FULLNESS of JOY. He left His spirit with us to give us peace and to guide us. You may have heard it said, "His peace surpasses all understanding" - but what does that mean? It means that those things that might get the world down, that might be enough to cripple or devastate others, events and situations that might cause some to completely lose their minds, do NOT have that affect on US. That's not to say we are immune to pain and/or feelings of hopelessness, it's not to say we won't feel and experience deep depths of pain... what it DOES mean, is pain and hopelessness will NEVER overcome us.
 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:7

I can attest to this. When I lost my mother [suddenly and unexpectedly], I thought my heart would stop beating

MEN Weigh In!! We asked, "Domestic Violence - What would you say to YOUR sister?

Round 3 of our newest MONTHLY feature: 
"Men Weigh In"



The men have spoken (again) - and I believe you will be blessed by their responses (again). *smile* I know I have been! God never ceases to amaze me. The guys that will be weighing in here (and right now there are four of them) are men that I know personally. Men that I have seen walking in Christ - sincerely - for years. Men who not only, talk the talk, but walk the walk - to the BEST of their abilities. They love Christ with all of their hearts, and I value and appreciate their input. These are our brothers in Christ. We are here to grow and evolve; they are doing the same. We will all surely be mutually blessed by the contributions they make and the conversation it provokes. I thought it best that they remain anonymous, so that they could share their responses freely and be completely transparent. So I had to come up with some "aliases" for these guys!! ;-) This way, as we hear from them each month you will be able to recognize which contributor it is you are hearing from. I asked them each to tell me their favorite book of the Bible - and this is how I came up with their SE names. ;-) So we have Brother Proverbs [21], Brother Ecclesiastes [30], Brother Colossians [43], and Brother Job [32].

I'm sure we all know men and women can look at something and see things COMPLETELY different. Or maybe that's just my experience... but I doubt it! Lol. With that being said, prayerfully, we will all be blessed, challenged, and encouraged to grow by exchanging perspectives and thought-provoking dialogue with the opposite sex.

We asked: "If you had a sister, who you knew was in an abusive relationship (verbal, emotional, and/or physical), what would you say to her? What does real love [God's love] look and/or feel like?"
They answered: 

"Real Ladies! Real GOD! Real Talk! - Equipping Real Walk!" - Particpate in our INTERACTIVE dialogue!
