I've posted pictures from our Friends, Flip-Flops, and Chocolate day into the slide show. We truly had fun! Christina gave us some great tips and ideas on how to decorate our flip flops. Then the ladies just got creative. I didn't know there was that much creativity in some of you!! You are great!!! ....and that foot treatment - wow! That was wonderful! Those few minutes of relaxing and soaking could have gone on forever as far as I'm concerned. Oh, how I love to relax and be pampered!!!
Of course, the food just topped it all off. Strawberries, bananas, pretzel rods, .....and chocolate. Top it off with some salty chips!! It was all good. I have to confess, I threw a few of those candy bars in my purse when I was cleaning up. Well, you know how hot it is - and yes, I left my purse in the car. You know what I was cleaning out of my purse the next day!!! That's what I get!
Hope all of you enjoyed it too. If you missed it, watch for the next event. They're always fun!

FRIENDS, FLIP FLOPS, AND CHOCOLATE COMING UP
Hey, girls! I know I haven't been very good about posting. Sorry. The past few months have been a bit rough. I should have dealt with this a long time ago!!...Of course that wonderful 2 and a half weeks of flu didn't help. What a double wammy! - but I am feeling and doing so much better. Thank you for your prayers and concern.
While I was parked on the couch not able to do much, my mind was still rolling. I really wanted to do this for Mother's Day, but it just couldn't happen. So, we will move on.
June 12 is the day - Friends, Flip Flops, and Chocolate. It's going to be a fun morning. Everyone gets a free pair of flip flops to "design." Christina is going to show us ways to decorate and design some really cute flip flops. Kristi Robertson is going to bring her new foot care/pampering products. I've heard it's all the rage! She's going to show us how to get summer feet. We're going to talk about how God knows how to flip a flop..... and eat chocolate while we're doing all this. It's really going to be fun. At the end, we will have a drawing for a free pedicure from Leah. I've heard she is REALLY good at these!!!
I need everyone to sign up at the Information Center. We will need your flip flop size by June 6th. Feel free to invite friends and family members. The more the merrier!!!
I love you girls. You'll never know how special you are to me! See ya June 12!

Good Morning!
...and when I say "good," I really mean GOOD. I just finished my study in Esther this morning for the discussion group tonight. It was SOOOO good! Although I, like the rest of the girls, have had a hard time finding/making time to keep up with this study, when we do get to it, we always get so much out of it.
This week's focus was on mean people. How can that be good, you ask!!! Well, we all know there are mean people out there - people who just don't care who they hurt. Some even seem to get a thrill out of hurting people - and you have been one of their victims. I don't know about you, but that is one of the hardest pills for me to swallow!!
In our study, Haman was that mean person. It was all about him (Do you know anyone like that?). What great lengths he went to in order to get at that person he didn't like! People like this are so hard to understand - especially when they come against you for no apparent reason or maybe because of a misunderstanding or mistake. They are so unforgiving! I have been in this seat more times than I want to count and it is one of the hardest places for me to be. I can hardly stand it. No one wants to think they've hurt someone or upset someone - especially to the point that the person will not forgive and even retaliates. How many times have we said, "Don't they know me - my heart? They know I would never do that or have been that way on purpose?" There's just nothing you can say or do to make it better.
But..... the Word tells us who is in charge. Nothing gets by our God.
This study also brings to light that we not only don't like being the victim of someone like this - we MUST be careful not to be the one inflicting the meanness. One comment is "Meanness is contagious like a virus." We can get caught up in it ourselves - either to vindicate ourselves or a family member/friend. The study ends with this comment:
Surely as Christians we must recognize the spirit of Haman not only in our world, but within ourselves.
My prayer today is that I 1) will not let others who have this spirit bring me down, and 2) I will not have the spirit myself.
I love you girls!!! If you can, join us tonight. This is such a wonderful study. Patty Ann's @ 6:00. Remember, you are not obligated to purchase anything. It is up to you. We just want your company and insight!!!

WOW!
What an awesome weekend. The Lord moved in such a powerful way. I hate that some of you missed it. Isn't it wonderful the way God just knows how to show up and show out. There were visitors who heard about us through facebook. That was great! We had friends from other churches as well. ....Best of all - we all KNEW God was there.
It seems as if the Lord is speaking loud and clear to the church - pray - pray fervently, pray earnestly, pray together, pray!!! What does prayer accomplish? Think about it - God spoke about the hardest things and said they are accomplished through faith, prayer and fasting. That tells me that ANYTHING can happen through prayer.
What is the 'ANYTHING' you are needing and wanting? Commit it to prayer - earnest, fervent, and corporate prayer. I believe when we do this, God WILL move our mountains and meet our needs. We will enter a whole new level with God.
I love you, girls!! You are all so special to me.

ONE MORE WEEK
Have you been preparing for it? - "Only Believe" service. I know I have. If you received a flier, you may have noticed the area at the bottom for your requests and Scriptures. I hope you have filled it out. What are you believing for??? List it - name it - know it will come about - through faith. How do we get faith - through the Word? On the other side of the flier is a place to write Scriptures that will increase your faith.
Would you be willing to share your Scriptures of faith with us. I will be sending an e-mail to all the ladies. I will begin the chain and I am asking you to continue it. I am asking that you add a Scripture(s) that speaks faith to you and send it to all the ladies on the e-mail list. I will give directions in the e-mail. Let's encourage one another this week. I am sure you will be preparing yourself in prayer and Scripture this week as well. I am asking for 7 people to fast (your choice of fast) one day this week beginning Saturday through next Friday. If you are willing to fast, please e-mail or call me and let me know.
Don't forget to spread the word and invite other women. We're not the only ones needing a touch from the Lord. There are many who so desperately need to hear from God. Let's give them this opportunity.
I love you - you are so special to me. I don't know what I would do without my Sisterz!
Love,
Sister June

DO YOU BELIEVE?
What is your need? Physical problems? Financial distress? Family circumstances? Unsaved family members? Spiritual struggles? ..... No matter what your need is - we serve a God who is more than able to meet these needs.
"What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." Mark 9:23 NLT
I truly believe this Scripture and believe that God is wanting to move amongst us. That is why I have scheduled Only Believe women's service. It will be held February 26 @ 7:00. Sister Marie Martin will be our guest. We all know how God uses her in mighty ways. She is a gifted woman of God.
I believe the key, though, is found in the Scripture above - anything is possible if a person believes. Faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of God (Rom 10:17). So many of us are in the Word of God - reading the Bible through. We hear the Word during classes and services. We hear the Word through music and television ministry. LET'S SATURATE OURSELVES WITH THE WORD - build our faith and prepare ourselves to receive the miracles we need.
Do you have a Scripture that will encourage and strengthen us? Share it with us. Let's strengthen one another and get ready for our miracle!

SELF DEFENSE TIP
Got this from a "sister" today. Thought I'd share it with you girls.
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat. A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. S he also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use. Please share this with all the people in your life
