November 6: Marie Monville

"When all other lights go out, He still shines!” This is Marie’s testimony, forged while moving through unthinkable circumstances, into the unfathomable love of the Father. On her darkest day, Marie simply chose to believe that HE IS. This act of faith radically propelled her into a future she could not have hoped for or imagined. Marie ministers the truth of God’s love: it is deep enough to heal any wound, strong enough to break all bandages, and it brings life to the broken and light to those in darkness. By cultivating worship in the deepest places of her heart and releasing it before His throne, Marie has found the secret to being “transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory” (2 Cor 3:18). She will inspire you to delve into a passionate LOVE relationship with God which will transform your life and flow through you to impact all you encounter. 

We are fortunate to have Marie as our guest speaker for our next meeting this Saturday at 9:30 AM. Childcare is provided, so please let me know if you are planning to attend. You will be absolutely blessed, I promise. 

Breaking Free Tid Bit from 10/17/10

We stared out the morning praying for Zory because she had been struggling with a cough and her back had been bothering her all night. You wouldn't have been able to tell she was anything less than perfectly healthy, though, they way she led us through more of Breaking Free, the way she does each Sunday morning. I appreciate that kind of faithfulness.

It's hard for me to pick just one thing to highlight because, really, I feel like I could follow that woman around for years and still not even know half of what she knows...but she never makes me feel that way. From the first time I met her, Zory always encouraged my gifts and didn't elevate herself. It's true, if we humble ourselves, He lifts us up. But back to what I gleaned...

We talked about Walking in the Spirit and what that really looks like in real life.  The thing that made me stop to think was when Zory talked about the difference between the way a righetous man walks and the way satan walks.

• A righteous man walks with a forward motion, continual, progressive. His steps are going somewhere, they are ordered. (Psalm 37: 23)

• Satan roams around wandering. (Job 1:7)

Why is this note worthy you may ask? Zory explained that Satan wants us to walk like him. If he can prevent us from steady, forward movement then we will never progress. His way of walking produces anxiety, worry and leads us in no particular direction.

I can be a bit anxiety prone, so if I stop and think that me worrying about things is really what Satan would like me to do, I can stop. I don't want to do anything except move forward. We need to keep walking, not stop and let the enemy lead us around in circles. From now on, no more worry, no more anxiety. Walk on, friends!

Breaking Free Tid Bit

For the past two Sunday morning s from 9 until 9:45, Zory Klinger has been teaching us in our Breaking Free class. I just want to tell you how much I am getting out of this class!

The information she says in one breath is enough to last me a week of searching the scriptures and talking to the Lord. Tracy and I are writing as fast as we can just so we don't miss any of the wisdom that is pouring from Zory. 

This past week, Zory spoke to us about the structures the Lord has set up and how we can make sure that all of these structures are build on a secure foundation. She spoke about marriage, children, church, employers and posessions.

I especially tapped into the parent/ child relationship when she read Ecclesiates 9:17: "The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools."This totally hit home because I often yell at my kids. Yes, I do. Zory reminded us that our kids rarely listen when we yell, so if we would like them to change a behavior, we should speak softly and wisely. Yup. This is my challenge for the week. If you see me, ask me how I'm doing. :)

Kick Off Meeting

Saturday, October 2nd at 9:30 AM in Christ Community Church's auditorium Susan Pontius will lead us in worship, Faith Bryson is going to tell you all about her journey and then, we're going to stand with you on yours.

I'm excited. Honestly, I am. This Saturday we are starting on a successful journey. It's a new thing. Do I know what I'm doing? Not really. Thankfully, God knows what He's doing and if I can just trust Him, I know that this will be amazing. Are you coming? Will you be there when it starts? Will you be one of those who are breaking new ground with us?
