Community for Him

During my husband and I's recent trip, I had a lot of time to think about things while we were traveling but also was able to hear several great speakers and musicians while we were gone as well. There was one constant theme throughout and that was of living with an urgency for Christ. With the society that we and our children live in today I think a lot of times it's so easy for me to lose that urgency. Becoming overwhelmed by the thought of doing "one more thing." BUT what I forget is that putting off Christ as that "one more thing" is the worst possible choice I could make for me or my family. This could be as our individual relationships with our Father or sharing the gospel with the people known and unknown around us daily.
Several months before I left for our vacation I had been thinking about what it might look like to work towards a "community women's ministry." Coming together and serving as a community group with other individual women's ministry from the community of Hutto and the surrounding area. I know LifePointe Women's Ministry as struggled at times to build, serve and grow the way we'd really like and yearn to. I just feel that we could make a much bigger impact for our Father's Kingdom if we came together serving as one. We would have meetings together, planning events together, serving together, studies together, etc. We would be better able to fulfill the needs of women, children and their families from here, around our state and aboard as well. Now is the time to band together, working to reflect the love of our Father and build His kingdom. I would like to schedule our first meeting on Sunday August 29th at 7:30p.m. at LifePointe Fellowship. If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, please do not hesitate to email me at monsaw@yahoo.com. Or if you can't make the first meeting but are interested in being apart of this journey of a Community 4 Him please feel free to email me and I'll make sure you get meeting notes. Please provide me your feedback on this idea...pros and cons. Please feel free to be honest with me on this. I can sometimes get ahead of myself on things which is why I've kind of ignored this all together until now. I just felt a new found hope or energy thinking about how many times I've failed to stop and make Christ my number one priority as an individual and as a disciple wanting to share the gospel. Thank you all for your opinions, time, encouragement and support. God bless my friends!!!
