Resolution Revolution Book Club

-

 

Yesterday morning I was sipping my coffee and catching up on tweets on Twitter {you know, doing the important stuff}.  A tweet popped up from Priscilla Shirer that caught my eye.  She was announcing her Resolution Revolution Book Club & it was starting in 10 minutes.  I really had no clue what it was about, but I knew if Priscilla was doing it, then I wanted to be a part of it. 

Side note: If you've never participated in one of Priscilla's Bible Studies, heard her speak or read her books...let me tell you, you are missing out! The first time I heard her I thought "oh my word! she is me, I am her"...she read my mail.  I identify with so many things she says {I'm convinced we are soul sisters}. She is a Bible teacher, a mom, a wife...she is the real deal!

Okay now that you know my thoughts about Priscilla, back to the Book Club! I quickly visited her site goingbeyond.com to read up on what this book club was all about, downloaded the book "The Resolution for Women" from Amazon to my iPad and hopped on the first live video chat.  You can watch it on her blog here.  I'm really excited about this and I think you will be too after watching!!

This book club is 14 weeks long & we are starting the 1st section this week called "Surprisingly Satisfied".  Priscilla states in the introduction "This book isn't for pleasure reading. In fact, some of it may not be very pleasurable at all" and after reading the first segment today...wow, she is right!  It hurts a little, but I'm okay with that.  My greatest desire is to live my life well, to make it count, to be all that God has designed me to be & in order to do that I have to allow for some necessary pruning to be done in my heart & life.

Girls, I'd love for you all to join me in this book club.  I'd love to share with one another during the next 14 weeks what God is speaking to each of our hearts through this book.

Get your book today to get started!  (If you live in Enid...Ruth's carries it). The next LIVE chat with Priscilla is Thursday, September 22nd @ 10am CST at goingbeyond.com

Here is the memory verse she gave us for this week:

1 Samuel 12:16 (NIV)

 16 “Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!"

I am excited to see the AMAZING things that God is going to do over the coming weeks. My heart is expectant!! I hope you will join me! If you plan on participating, let me know by commenting below!

With Love,
Kim

Do Not Worry

Earlier this year I attended Pink Impact at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX with my mom, my dear friend & her mother in law.  It was a 4 day getaway for me to just be & receive. I needed it desperately, because it was just a few months prior that Mel told me that he knew that he knew that the Lord would be transitioning us soon to more of a lead pastor role.  As you know by my previous post , I was a little resistant at first. :)  I was doing my best to trust that Mel had heard from God and even though I knew in my spirit that he had...I was just consumed with worry.   I was worried about where the Lord would move us. I was worried about when He would move us.  I was worried about making the wrong decision. I was worried about moving my girls to a different school. I was worried about leaving the people we had grown to love so much here in Enid. I was worried about finances.  I was WORRIED. You get the picture.  During one of the sessions of the conference there was a

Never Alone

Standing on this mountaintop Looking just how far we've come Knowing that for every step You were with us Kneeling on this battle ground Seeing just how much You've done Knowing every victory Is Your power in us Scars and struggles on the way But with joy our hearts can say Yes, our hearts can say Never once did we ever walk alone Never once did You leave us on our own You are faithful, God, You are faithful "Never Once" by Matt Redman Yesterday morning as I drove to work, I cranked the volume on the praise & worship music.  My best times with God are in my 20 minute drive to work...just me & Him.  The above song began to play.  Have you heard it?  Powerful stuff.  Our worship team at  Victory Church ,  Warr Acres , sings it often.   I love it.   Even though I've heard it and sung it many times, yesterday it just really REALLY sunk in. As I listened to the words and thought of all of the valleys & battles

Stop Comparing & Be You!

Romans 12:4-6 (MSG) In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't. A few days ago during my quiet time I read this passage of scripture and it really jumped off the page to me.  I've read this passage many times before, but never in The Message version.   I love the entire chapter of Romans 12, but I want to focus on these few verses in this post today. What is my purpose?
