Chapter 2 - My Worship Awakening from (Linda Dillow- Satisfy My Thirsty Soul)

Group Intro:

This group is for us...the women that wake and walk this life daily. It is meant as a place to encourage and strengthen. We deal with real issues here, real hurt, real pain, real doubt, real failures, real fears, real faith, real encouragement, real examples of the ups and downs. BECAUSE OF THAT IT IS THE HEART OF THIS GROUP TO PROTECT THE HEART OF EACH OTHER. DO NOT USE THIS TO GOSSIP, TO BE CRITICAL, TO BECOME PRIDEFUL BECAUSE THAT IS NOT YOUR PARTICULAR ISSUE... HONOR THE HEART OF GOD FIRST, SEEK TO OFFER THAT HEART IN PRAYER AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO ANOTHER AND DESIRE TO WALK IN THAT HEART SO THAT YOU ARE A LIVING VERSE, NOT A HALLOW ONE!!! THE MOMENT ANYTHING IS USED TO HURT ANOTHER OUTSIDE OF HERE, YOU ARE GONE! IT TAKES GREAT COURAGE TO SEEK A HAVEN AND IT WILL NOT BE USED TO HARM AN ALREADY WOUNDED SISTER...GROUP IS LOCKED, SO POST DOES NOT SHOW OUTSIDE OF GROUP...PLEASE PRAY ABOUT WHO TO INVITE, DON'T JUST INVITE A PERSON IF THEY REALLY DON'T WANT CHANGE, SHARE YOUR LIFE AND THEN WHEN THEIR HEART IS OPEN INVITE..THAT IS TO PROTECT THIS ATMOSPHERE...

*OUR FIRST GROUP CHALLENGE IS IN BELOW POST ALONG WITH THE BOOK WE ARE STARTING. 1 CHAPTER A WEEK FROM (SATISFY MY THIRSTY SOUL- LINDA DILLOW) READ BELOW FOR PDF INFO AND THE CHALLENGE FOR THE DAY.* EACH FRIDAY THE JOURNAL DEVOTIONAL FOR THAT WEEK WILL BE POSTED FOR YOU TO DO IN YOUR OWN TIME POST IF YOU LIKE...

For many in this group I have had the priviledge of having group with for years. For many of you new, I just want you to know that these ladies are some of the most precious women to have in your life. I have watched them grow, fail, struggle, press, overcome, heal, rewound, rebound, grow again, get breakthroughs and in all of their everyday walk, they pressed. Sometimes press was from the ground crying into the midnight hours, sometimes press was from a position of strength...
I have been doing groups for 2 decades...God has allowed me the honor of participating in some lovely miracles birthed, restorations cultivated and knowledge always increasing. I never ask anyone to do what I won't. Do not pass a bible verse, Unless you are willing to FIRST walk that verse out . In my walk I have learned that we have all been the just about every person in the bible. I have been Saul tearing other Christians apart with my impatience, lack of love, understanding and/or mouth...over critical, prideful... (I know this because my husband has been the main one on the receiving end of my back lash, yep I said it, we are real here folks...) forgetting that everything you learn and you do, comes as a gift from God. Been Peter denying the Lord with my heart posture, my attitude, my mindset, my commitments, my will...been david having victories and failures, Job loosing everything from family to finances...John sometimes finding the beauty of resting in his presence and embracing His love for me...Mary mother of Jesus, having to step out and believe the unbelieveable even at the cost of others abandoning...Paul learning and teaching to be better from relationship knowledge not just verses on a page, learning to become them...ect... as you can see we have all been one at one time or another...
Group is simple.. we post our prayer request, praises, joys, pains, struggles, and victories... If you been through abuse, mentally, physically, sexually, verbally, WE GOT YOU !!! IF YOU HAVE BEEN DIVORCE.. WE GOT YOU... IF YOU MILITARY, INTERRACIAL, BLENDED FAMILIES, HALF A FAMILY NO FAMILY WE GOT YOU!!! IF YOU SOMETIMES WANNA CHUCK THE POT ACROSS THE ROOM AT YOUR SPOUSE AND HANG YOUR CHILDREN OUTSIDE LIKE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS, ERASE YOUR FAMILY DNA STRAND... WE GOT YOU!!!
Its our desire to strengthen sisters as we are daughters of the Most high. But it is God's desire to love on his daughters as there is only one you in his family
