100th post and Introducing Life and Style By God's Design

It's my 100th post and I have an announcement.
With joy and excitement I introduce to you a newly launched women's ministry called Life & Style By God's Design.

A little over a year ago my best friend, Alisa Brown of Carolina Panache, and I began talking in earnest about pursuing our passions. We encouraged one another to take action steps. One of the steps I took was to register for the Proverbs 31 conference She Speaks. I followed the speaker track and was evaluated in a speaker group. While attending She Speaks, I stayed in Alisa's home throughout the weekend of the conference.

~~~~~~~~

Alisa took some action steps, too, which included going from the corporate world to full time home life! In the pursuit of following our God given passions, we have combined our interests and giftings in a new women's ministry called ~

Alisa is passionate about making the home a haven and a retreat from the world. I have seen first hand the beautiful ideas Alisa is able to bring into fruition. Just stepping into her home is inspiration. She enjoys opening her home and extending hospitality to others. As a recipient many times over of her hospitality, I know she will inspire women to realize the value of home, family and gracious living.

My passion? Teaching God's Word in a way that inspires, motivates and leads others to know God to the fullest extent and be fully available to Him. To borrow a quote from Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge, I want women to know that "the more His we become, the more ourselves we become; more our true selves."
To be the "real you" you must know Him in a "real way." No more carbon copies of one another. No more comparisons where someone wins and someone falls short. No more competition. There is room for every spiritual gift where love is the foundation. Women helping women reach their potential. That's what energizes me!

April 2oth, (tomorrow) Alisa and I will be guests on HomeKeepers, a program on the Christian Television Network (CTN). The show is hosted by Arthlene Rippy who has over 20 years of speaking and TV hosting experience. HomeKeepers is based on Titus 2:4-5. Arthlene interviews us about the launch of Life & Style By God's Design. It was a lot of fun and I hope you will be able to view it. If not, we hope to add some of the show segments to our blogs. See the information at the bottom for stations and times. Or log on to CTNonline.com on Monday, April 20th to view the Live Streaming video at 5:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. EST.
