THE VISION

I wanted to share these verses with you to express my heart concerning the purpose of these meetings. As women, so much demand is placed upon our lives–from our families, our jobs, and our ministries. All of us have plenty of things to spend our time and money on, and all of us have to be good stewards over both. I don’t want to host meetings that don’t benefit anyone, and you don’t want to sit through them. But, when we gather together in Jesus’ name we get to enjoy His fullness. It’s worth it!

First, make the effort to draw nigh unto Him (James 4:8). Don’t be distracted or inhibited. Anticipate His presence. He wants to draw nigh unto you, and He promised He would. That excites me!

Second, expect this weekend to yield every benefit God promised you because of your financial investment and your investment of time. It’s an automatic by-product that your heart will be in your investments (Luke 12:34).

Third, remember the importance Jesus placed on sitting at His feet and receiving. Even though He acknowledges the vital role women play in caring for and strengthening others, we need to understand the priority of taking time to strengthen ourselves spiritually. Jesus said when we do this, we’ve chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from us! Praise God (Luke 10:38–42)!
