A Encouraging Word from God xoxoxoxoxoxo

Good Afternoon! I hope that you all are enjoying this beautiful weather here today! I have all my windows and doors open and love to hear the chirping of the birds! This morning I took my puppy Max for a walk and we usually go a little over a mile well... this morning it was so pretty outside and the sun was shining and it was breezy and I really shared my heart with the Lord and I guess I was in a talking mood (imagine that..hmmmm) and I ended up walking 3.5 miles..Poor Max , he kept turning around and looking up at me like Mom... excuse me did you take a wrong turn... Mom, hello,,, my legs are a little shorter than yours:) and then finally Mom I have had enough and just sat down.. Do you ever wonder if that is how God is with us? As we keep walking and talking and going and going and we are just all consumed with what is happening in our world right then that he tries to get our attention and then just sits and waits for us to in Max's case pick him up and embrace him?? I think so!! His word tells us that he will never leave us or forsake us, that means he is always there! I do feel like if we are his #1 priority and there is sooooo many of us, we need to make it a priority to meet with him and embrace him everyday... There is only ONE of him!! Even though I was walking and talking to him today,I am so guilty of getting on with my day and totally not even saying Good Morning sometimes... that is so sad after all he does for me and gives me!! In this weeks study, our first fews days talk about Martha and Mary and how Mary sat at his feet and Martha was busy busy .. bet yall can't guess which one I take after?lol Well, all I can say is I can't wait to see what God has in store for all of us to hear and learn tomorrow night!! I can't wait to see all of you! Remember his word also says that if you seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these things will be provided for you!! how awesome is that!! See yall tomorrow!!

The Frazzled Female Introduction

We had a great turn out for our first night of Bible Study.. The room was decorated in Leopard print and had gift bags in leopard bags for each lady with all kinds of DeFrazzler items from journals, candles, lotion, tea and other items but, I think the item that was voted #1 was the CHOCOLATE.... oh yeah!! We all know that Chocolate can calm a woman's nerves, we all know that chocolate can calm some raging hormones so I have decided as the leader of this bible study we will all have a weekly dose of Chocolate and Gods Word and Friendship during the next 6 weeks of this study and my prayer is that we will all be De Frazzled by the end of our 6 week study:) I am praying at the end of the 6 weeks that we all agree that Gods Word is better than any chocolate we ever put in our mouths and can calm us down from anything that is going on in our lives.. The room was packed and I introduced myself and talked a little bit about my hectic ,Frazzled life and shared what this study was going to be about....I truly felt God moving in that room as we prayed and shared our hearts with laughs and tears..I can not wait to dig deep in this study with all of these precious ladies and watch how God moves in all of our hearts and lives!! This past week was just the introduction so the meat of the study will start on the 12th so if you were unable to make it or have a friend who would like to come please bring them!!! It is not to late!!! For those of you who have your workbook already, I encourage you to dive in and go deep in this study and be in his word everyday!! There is a Commitment sheet that we are all going to read and sign on the 12th and we are all going to hold each other accountable for staying committed to this study.. I can promise YOU that you will not be let down, this is going to be a fun night of learning and fellowship with God and other ladies that want the same things in their lives that you do and the answer to that is MORE OF GOD!!! Can't wait to see all of you on Thursday, please remember we will start just a few minutes after 7 and I hope:) to be finished by 8:30... Have a great week and know that I am praying for each one of you!!!

The Beginning

Wow! God is so Awesome!! We moved here on June 23, 2008 and I can honestly tell you that I have prayed daily that God would just put our family in a church similar to the one that we belonged to in St Louis and that we would all just really grow deeper with God in our daily walks.. I prayed for a awesome youth group for the boys with a group of kids that were really strong in their faith and I prayed that God would put me and Chuck in a Women and Men's bible study where we could dig deeper in his word and build friendships with other ladies and men who want the same.. Well, God answered our prayers.. We found a church named Servanthood Fellowship, it is a smaller church and very similar to where we came from and the pastor is so good, he preaches nothing but the TRUTH and right out of the BIBLE and keeps his congregations attention in every sermon he preaches!We leave every Sunday and every Wednesday night feeling like we have just been fed a 5 course meal:) The Youth Group is a so cool and I can honestly say I have never seen a group of kids who are so grounded in their faith and their relationship with Christ,it is so awesome.. I love that he planted us here and now my prayer is that my kids would just grow and build friendships with these kids who are great examples ! and so now!! my prayer has been answered... I asked a few ladies in the church.. do you have ladies bible studies? the answer was No I wish we did! The men do!! So at that very moment I think they probably were still talking..lol.. I started praying and asking God.. Is this what you want me to do? I have prayed everyday to you that you would just use me in some way to glorify you and to use me in this community to shine your light and so the light went on inside my head,and I talked to a lady who has been a member of the church since they started and it was so cool because she has been wanting to start a Women's Ministry and deeper into our conversation she says I have been praying that the Lord would just bring another lady to partner with me .. Well!! Here I AM!! and now her and I have become great friends and Soul Sisters:) I can honestly say I am so excited where God is going with us.. We both know that he has HUGE plans and we are about to bust to see how it all turns out!We started The Frazzle Female Bible Study last Thursday night and had a great turn out... Stay tuned for updates on The Frazzled Female... If you live in this area and would like to join us.. We meet on Thursday night at 7:00 at the church.. Come get Defrazzled with us!!!
